A number of Timpson
Methodists are planning to at-
tend the annual meeting at
McMahan’s Chapel in San Au-
will be the first city in Okla-
homa free of a city levy.
Profits of the Ponca City
municipal light and water
plants are sufficient to pay the
expenses of the city. Last year
an 8-mil! sinking fund wad
made but this year the $138,-
714 appropriation will be paid
from profits of the municipal
water and light plants.
This information 'will be of
Interest in Timpson where our
municipal light and water
plants are the pride of the
town. Through the earnings
of our utilities Timpson tax
rate was reduced last year,
and Mayor J. D. Hairston has
in view further reductions
should the earnings justify the
step. Timpson now enjoys,
perhaps, the lowest tax raid
of any East Texas town of like
size, and at the same time we
have an exceedingly low light
and water rate. In addition,
Timpson is recognised as one
of the best lighted small cities
in East Texas.
Timpson has an unlimited
water supply, and not for one
time since the establishment
of the plant there has hot com-
plaint of bad water conditions.

Evangelist Pennell spoke
last night to a large audience
on the subject: ‘‘America’s
Greatest Need.” He used as
his lesson Gen. 18:16-19.
'Hie greatest need of Amer-
ica,” declared Dt. Pennell, "is
Christian homes. Our homes
and our churches arc surround-
ed with lawlessness, with
broken hearts, with trouble,
with disappointments and dis-
couragements, and we need out
and out Christian homes with
the old-time family altar if we
are to combat successfully the
evils of our day. America has
many great needs today. One
of which h racial parity and
certainly one of our great
needs is a more stable govern-
ment
“At this hour when so many
are out of work and we are
facing a world depression, we
need a spirit of philantrophy
as never before. It is not hard
to engage the service of men in
any of these endeavors but
our chief and greatest need
is a revival of Christian stand-
ards and ideals in the home,
and we need to enlist all of our
people in the building and es-
tablishment- of out and out
Christian homes. We need to
erect in all of our homes the
old-fashioned family altar, tak-
studying it and meditating up-
on it and instilling the princi-
ples of it into the hearts of the

that
all our great institutions
are worth while today.
Because parential authority
has broken down ia the homes
we have had to build jail - and
penitentiaries and set up state
authorities where parential su-
pervision has given away. We
while evea have to hire policemen to
care for them. God said to
Abraham, “For I know Abra-
ham that he will command his
children and his household af-
ter him and they shall keep
the way of the Lord, to do jus-
tice and judgment; that the
Lord may bring upon Abraham
that which he hath spoken of
him.’”
He used illustration after il-
lustration to press upon the
hearts and conscience of the
people the need of building
greater and better Christian
koines. He told the story of
Henry W. Grady, who in the
midst of his great and busy
career, was awakened to the
selfishness, carelessness and
indifference of Christian peo-
ple by death in the home of a
neighbor. No one seemed to
know who be was or what he
was or even cared about him.
Henry Grady walked to his of-
fice and said to his friend: “I
am going away.” He left im-
mediately for his old southern
home in Georgia. Upon his ar-
rival there he said to his moth-
er: "I have strayed away from
the ideals of my old home, I
have been out of fellowship
with God ami have lived a
careless and indifferent life,
bat Mother, I have come hack
to ray old heme that I might
find God; that I might kneel
with you and pray again as we
used to do, and I want you to
Chas. N. Shaver of Walker
county, candidate to succeed
himself as state superintendent
of public instruction, spent a
short time in Timpson Tues-
day. Mr. Shaver says ia part
in behalf of his candidacy:
“To measure up to tha re-
sponsibilities of the state *u-
perintendency, a m«a must be
wholeheartedly Sevoted to the
cause of public education;
must believe ia, and work for,
the education of all of the chil-
dren of Texas. The training of
its children for useful citizen-
ship, irrespective of their place
of residence .or of their mate-
rial circumstances, is the pri-
mary function of a democratic
state.
“The people of Texas are
facing a serious economic
crisis; retrenchment is neces-
sary ia every department of
our state government; all ex-
travagance and unnecessary
expenditures should be elimi-
nated from every department
of the school system; the same
rule should be applied to the
department of education in
every phase of iia ope ration.
But in the elimination of any
form of waste that may have
gotten into the administration
of local schools in the time of
general prosperity we mast not
impair their usefulness by un-
reasonable and unwise re-
trenchment. 't-
“Any fluctuation in the state
per capita apportionment af-
fects the income of all schools;
reduction of it increases the
financial burden on school dis-
tricts. At this time, when the
resources of ail local govern-
mental units are taxed to their
limits, the apportionment
should be maintained on the
present basis and at its present
level, so as to equalise educa-
tional costs and to give the
laximum amount of aid to all
districts.
“Texas cannot afford to de-
fault on its obligation to equal-
ize educational opportunities.
To this end, state aid for rural
schools should be continued,
and the scope of its usefulness
extended; provision for the
full and prompt payment of
the tuition accorat of dis-
tricts unable to provide high
school facilities for their chil-
dren must be m?de by the
State; special aid and encour-
agement to the promotion of n
practicable and efficient pro-
gram of vocational education
should be cacti- red.”

Olympic track and field
records the Olympic Stadium
in Los Angeles, should look
quite different after the Cali-
fornia and the breaking of
Olympic Games to open July
SO in records seem naturally to
go together. There are see
world’s track and field records
in the record books which were
made in California.
During the Olympic Games
at Amsterdam in 1928, IS new
track and field records were
made or equalled. How asany
at these wiM remain after the
Los Angeles games?
Let’s lode at some of the
records made during the Am.
sterdam Games.
Is the 109 meters* ran.
Percy Williams, ad Canada; R.
F. McAllister, of the U. a A.
and J. E. Loudon, of Great
Britain, during trial boats were
clocked officially ad 19.6 tec.
Here It is interesting to
recall that Charles W. Pad-
dock, running at Redlands,
Cal., in 1921, did the distance
in 10.4 seconds. That is a
world’s record and better than
the Olympic record. Eddie
Tolas, of the U. a A., running
in Stockholm in 1929, and
again in Copenhagen the same
year, equalled the 10.4 sec-
onds time. Tolan and Paddock
are joint holds ranworld’s
record for the 169 meters’ run.
With the (turners
Helmut Kornig of Germany,
at Amsterdam equalled the
Olympic record for the 200
r»’ ran with a time of 21-6
seconds. It should be remem-
bered that an American. Ro-
land A. Locke, holds the
world’s record for that dis-
tance. Runniaf in Lincoln,
Neb., in 1926, he covered the
distance in 20.6 seconds.
A record for the 800 meters’
run was made at Amsterdam
in 1928. But it was made by
an Englishman. D. G. A. Lowe,
who did the distance ia 1 m.,
58 4-5 s.
A new record for the 1500
tuck me in bad as you did
when I was a boy.”
The Evar.geRst declared with
great empnasis, “that is our
need at this hour. Back to the
establishment of the family
altar, back to the task of
building Treat Christian homes,
back to the things that are
fundamental in the Christian
life." L. S. Evans.
meters’ ran was also made by
a Finn, H. E. Larva, who rev-
ered the distance :n 8 n.,
53 1-5 s.
A new time was set up at
In the 10.000
but not by an
by that
great athlete, Paavo Nurmi, of
Finland. His time was Ml m,

U wasn’t an American who
established to 1928 the new
record for the 119
meter hardies. It was d
South African, Weightaan-
Smith His time, made during
a trial head, was 14. 8-5 s.
k Field Event*
The Olympic record for the
mating broad jump was made
by an American in Amsterdam
in 192* The record bolder
for the event is Edward B.
Hamm. He jumped 25 feet,
4 8-4 tnehea.
The Olympic record for the
pole vault is oho held by an
Ameriean, Sabin W. Carr, who
in Amsterdam cleared the bar
at latest, 9 3-8 inches. Now
IS feet. 9 3-8 inches is high to
be rare but hi California they
have been known to vault
higher. The world’# record
for pole vault is held by Lee
Bernes, off the IT. &. A, who in
in Fresno, Cal., in 1928, clear-
ed the bar at 14 feet, 1 1-2
iches.
When Dr C. 1 -pcuserjhrew
the discos at Aafaterdam is dto-
155 feet, 2 15-16
inches, he set up a new Olym-
pic record. But contrast Out
record made at Palo Alto, Cat.
in 1929. In that year Erie C.
W. Krona threw the disco* a
anee of 16S feet, 8 8-4
indies.
The Olympic record for the
Javelin throw is held by n
Swede, K. H. Lundqurat, who
in 1828 set a record for 218
feet, 6 1-8 inches.

CARE-FREE
The periods in life when one can be care-
free are limited. Childhood ia one of thaae
periods, and rightfully ao, ... an inheritance
due all. Other periods of carefreeness seldom
materialize, except through an individual's
own planning and consistent work to that end.
Relief from financial worries brings a sense of
carefreeness which well repays one for the
effort made to save and to have.
