is eight years old bnd has become
quite agile on an artificial leg
given him by the Red Cross. But
the boy is growing fast, and arti-
ficial legs are expensive. The Red

ter relief agency, set aside funds
to buy Jimmy seven new left legs
as they are needed. Each one will
be carefully matched with Jimmy’s
right leg at different stages of
his growth.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD ...
That He gave His Only Begotten Son ... to leave us with
a heritage of truth and love that has followed history for
2000 years. In the midst of world politics, and talk of war

Being who will, if we permit, lead us to a greater under-
standing of" our fellow man. Renew your faith—rededicate
yourself to love of all men—attend the church of your choice
regularly.

Celina School Head Is
Reelected for 3-Year Term
J. H. Reed, superintendent of
Celina public schools, was reelec-
ted to his post for a term of three
years at a meeting of the school
board Monday night. The salary is
to conform to that prescribed by
the State Department of Educa-
tion. Mr. Reed, who came here as
head of the school last fall from
Mineola, has not indicated wheth-
er he will accept, but it is believed
he will do so.
Election of teachers was defer-
red until a later meeting.
The superintendent said Tues-
day that the scholastic census will
be enumerated during March, and
urged the cooperation of school
patrons in this important matter.
He stressed the fact that failure
to enumerate any scholastic to
which the district is entitled will
mean a loss to the school in dollars
and cents.
Traffic-Counting Devices
Placed West of Celina
It was reported Wednesday that
traffic-counting devices had been
placed on the roads at several
points west of town, presumably
by the highway department. One
such device was placed near the
Willock place a mile west of Celi-
na, others a short distance west
of Celina cemetery.
Hope for state-maintained farm-
to-market roads in this community
sprung anew in the breasts of Ce-
lina folks when they learned the
counters had been installed, but
one local man said what he wanted
to know was how the highway de-
partment got a car out those roads
to place the devices there. “It’s
not a fair check, anyway,” he ad-
ded. “Why try to count traffic on
a road that’s so knee-deep in mud
that nobody can travel it?”

Miss Copeland in Race
For County Treasurer
I wish to announce that I will
enter the coming political cam-
paign for re-election to the office
of treasurer of Collin County, sub-
ject to the action of the Democrat-
ic Primary election.
I want to take this opportunity
to thank the people of the county
for their support in the past and
to express my sincere appreciation
to them.
This is an office of great re-
sponsibility and one which I feel
well qualified to hold, as I have
had experience, in this office and
have accurate accounts which are
open for inspection at all times.
I was born and reared in this
county and am a member of the
First Baptist Church, and an act-
ive worker in all the affairs of the
church.
I earnestly solicit the support of
all the voters of the county and
will attempt to contact each of you
before the election in July. I sin-
cerely ask your support in the
coming election and pledge that,
if elected, I vdill continue to exe-
cute my job with the same loyalty
and faithfulness which I have done
in the past.

Ben R. Carter Announces
For Commissioner Prec. 1
I wish to take this means of an-
nouncing that I am entering the
race for Collin County Commis-
sioner of Precinct No. 1, subject to
the action of the Democratic pri-
mary election on July 24, 1948.
I am a native of Collin county
and since I was three years old I
have lived in the Foote commu-
nity where I own my own farm. I
am the son of Marshall J. Carter,
who also resides west of McKin-
ney.
This is the first time either I or
any of my immediate family has
ever asked for a public office and
I hope that my many friends who
have urged me to make this race
will use their influence in my be-
half.
I have successfully operated a
large amount of acreage the past
few years—last year I farmed
1,400 acres—and I have had expe-
rience in road maintenance. I have
a knowledge of the operation and
maintenance of machinery and feel
that this knowledge accompanied
by my past business experience,
qualifies me for the office.
Having lived in the country all
my life and in a section where the
roads have not been the best, I feel
that I understand the problems
and the needs of our precinct. I
am an advocate of good county
roads and pledge my friends in
Precinct 1 that I will do every-
thing possible to improve road
conditions.
I hope that I may contact each
of you before the July election and
personally solicit your vote.
