HOWE’a
THAT
★★★★★★★★A
Yuk! The new pitch of
the cosmetics industry is to
persuade men to start using
more goo. There are “bron-
zers" which men who work
in offices can apply for the
weekend and look like they are
just off the plane from Ber-
muda.
Several firms now make
whole lines of male goo pro-
ducts • • powder base, face
makeup, etc. In the field
of hair grooming, more and
more male sheep are being
led into the muck, almost the
same as the permanent wave
for women. Many Long-hairs
of the younger generation are
already on the kick.
It's with considerable diff-
iculty that traditional males,
already with little sympathy
for many of today's younger
darlings, restrain their reac-
tion and remarks about the
boom in male cosmetics.
Are these young men to
save us from Communism in
case of war? The enemy may
not care whether their skin is
groovy or if their hair is set
right.
.... This is another rea-
son to pray for peacell
Long-suffering housewives
have known it for some time,
but now it is sort of official.
The American husband cont-
ributes, on the average, only
1.6 hours a day helping around
the house,
the house.
Of course the statistics
are for 1967-68, but I don't
know of any revolution which
has taken place so I presume
they are still valid.
And this figure of 1.6
hours a day was true whether
the wife worked or not I
Unemployed wives with one
teenage son worked about 55
hours a week in the home and
at volunteer work. Husbands
spent about 65 hours a week
in paid employment, household
work and volunteer work.
But wives who are employed
for more than 15 hours a week
spend about 70 hours at their
jobs and at house work l
I'm not making up these
figures. As a matter of fact,
I wish they were not true,
for to me it shows that the
average husband is a very lazy
man who has no consideration
for his wife and the work load
she must bear, particularly
if she is employed outside the
home.
Maybe what is needed is
for Mr. Average Husband to
realize that while he may work
a fast and furious eight hour
day (but not many of us do-
lets face it) his wife also
works hard. And she is usually
still working when he takes his
shoes off and is sitting in front
of the television or off with
the boys somewhere.

MxPM.
School, Principal L. H. Linker
has announced.
The one named was Cathy L.
Powell, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. D. Powell, Route 1,
Howe.
She is among 35,000 students
in the United States who scored
in the upper 2 percent of those
who are expected to graduate
from high school in 1971. The
commended students rank just
below the 14,750 Semifinalists
announced in September by the
National- Merit Scholarship
Corporation (NMSC).
Edward C. Smith, president
of NMSC, said: “Although Co-
mmended students advance no
further in the Merit Scholar-
ship competition, their stand-
ing in this nationwide program
deserves public recognition.
Their high performance on the
NMSQT gives promise of con-
tinued success in college.
4 The Commended students
should be encouraged to pur-
sue their education since their
intellectual talent represents
an important and much needed
natural resource. Both these
students and our nation will
benefit * from their continuing
educational development."
The Commended students'
names are reported to certain
scholarship-granting agencies
and to the colleges they name
as their first and second cho-
ices when they took the NMSQT
in February 1970. The repo-
rts include home addresses,
test scores, and anticipated
college major and career in-
tentions of the Commended
Students. MNSC encourages
these students to make every
effort to continue their educ-
ation.

School Annual
Staff Members
Attend College
The Howe High School An-
nual Staff members have been
attending Monday night meet-
ings at the Grayson County
College in Sherman, studying
the High School Yearbook.
Monday October 5th will be
the last meeting. The College

Howe Bulldogs and Van Al-
styne's Panthers will clash
here Friday night for the fi-
rst time in several years. Ho-
we will take a 1-2 record in-
to the game while Van Alsty-
ne is winless in three starts.
Van fell to Frisco last Fri-
day while Crandall took ad-
vantage of Bulldog miscues
to take the win, 12-7.
The visiting Pirates held
to a 12-0 lead at halftime,
and Howe came back strong
early in the second half, sc-
oring 7 points on their init-
ial drive beforethe rain spo-
iled the action.
Howe held off the Pirates
following the first Bulldog
miscue, a fumbled punt on
the Howe nine, recovered by
Crandall. Following four trys
for the score, the Pirates ga-
ve up the football on the 11.
Minutes later, however, the
visitQrs returned a short punt
to the Howe 22 and follow-
ing a 15 yard penalty, com-
pleted a fourth down pass to
the Howe four yard line. Cr-
andall scored two plays lat-
er to take the lead with th-
ree minutes left in the quar-
ter.
Another Howe fumble, one
of the four lost during the
first half, set up the Pirates
for their second score, this
time on the Howe 21. The
t visftors scored in six plays,
passing for the final four.
Conversion was missed aga-
in.
The Bulldogs returned
following intermission and sc-
ored on their first drive, af-
ter returning a punt to the
Crandall 36. Howe used nine
plays in the effort, with Rob-
ert Billy scoring around left
end from three yards away.
Conversion brought the score
to 12-7 as a heavy rain, which
continued fop the remainder
of the game, began to fall.
Fans retreated to automobiles
to observe the two teams in
a punting contest. The Bull-
dogs reached the Pirate 2
yardline with a first down
late in the fourth quarter, but
the final fumble of the even-
ing killed the chance to take
the game.
Howe punted four times
in the last half, while the
visitors booted seven times.
The yardstick was like this:
FIRST DOWNS: Howe, 9; Cra-
ndall, 8. YARDS RUSHING:
Howe, 73 and Crandall, 137.
LOST RUSHING: Howe,53 and
Crandall, 19. YARDS PASS-

scene stealers; fearless Carl
Wong performing aerial dare-
deviltry on the high wire above
the Mobil stage; authentic dan-

ssics by the Dallas Symphony

Y'll come!"
