After the judging of the live birds,
an auction was held and the dressed
turkeys were auctioned off by Mr. L.
M. Gardner of the Purina Mills to
the business men and people of Meri-
dian and Clifton. The Clifton Milling
Company of Clifton purchased the
Champion dressed tom at 30c per
pound while the first place hen went
to Mr. Sam Lawson at 75c per pound.
All the dressed birds were sold and
there was a great deal of heated
bidding among the buyers.
Mr. McCarthey also gave a demon-
stration to the women on how to bone
a turkey and make a turkey roll.
MOB AT GATESVILLE
BURNS LITERATURE
Gatesville, Nov. 30—An estimated
mob of at least 200 Coryell County
citizens early. tonight seized a large
quantity of literature belonging to a
group of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who
were in convention here.
Coryell County deputy sheriffs said
that the mob seized the literature and
burned it. It was said that the mob
«btained all the literature in sight in
their raid.
First reports said no one was hurt.
Will P. Dyes of Valley Mills is in
the local hospital receiving treatment
from the doctors and fine nurses.

Mart Game—
(Continued from First Page)
back a Clifton punt to the Cub 40 and
the Panthers were off for another
score. They got it when Smith passed
from the 28 on fourth down. Mullins
took the oval on the sidelines and out-
ran the Cub secondary acrosp the
goal. Slavens missed the goal this
time
The Cubs made o;>e more desperate
attempt to score. Clifton showed
some fine passing of its own. On a
long drive the ball was finally inter-
cepted on the Mart 13. In two more
plays the Panthers fumbled and gave
the ball to Clifton on the 7. On a
mighty drive Clifton fumbled the ball
on the Mart 3 and Mart punted safely
away. /
This brough to an end a very suc-
cessful season for the Cubs. No one
was unhappy about this game. The
'Clifton boys took it standing up and
not laying down. This is the second
time the Cubs have played for Dis-
trict honors; the first time was in
1935 when Clifton played Mart and
lost 33 to 0.
Cliften is losing five of its players.
These are James Orbeck, Jack Hill,
W. T. Holder, Billy Stryker and
Clarence Humphries. These boys have
proved to be great sports in almost
every game. You will probably be
hearing of these boys again in some
other sport. By this you can tell
Clifton will have a fair team next
year.
I think we should give coaches J.
C. Larkin and Floyd Sorey, the
Athletic Council and the all-mighty
Clifton Cubs, 15 rahs apiece.

Senior Smoke
It seems as if this “Junior Junk”
column is giving the Seniirs some
competition. We had a compliment
passed on the Seniors the other day
and we are pretty certain that the
same one cannot be passed on the
Juniors. Now don’t get us wrong,
Juniors, we realize the fact that you
are just as essential to Clifton High
School as the Seniors.
We had a very interesting visitor
in our Civics class the other day, Mr.
Wayne Ellison^ who is a refugee from
Norway. Those dignified Seniors sat
spell-bound and heard about his ex-
perience in the war. You really should
have seen them, everyone in the class
was “all ears”. We want to thank Mr.
Ellison for his splendid talk.
Has anyone noticed anything un-
usual about a few of the Senior girls
lately? It seems that we need about
half a dozen bottle of rubbing alcohol.
It couldn’t be basketball, surely. We
thought those girls could “take it”.
Did anyone ever hear of William
Shakespeare ? I think the Senior Eng-
lish classes wish they never had. This
memory work is sure giving them
something to study. Well, it’s good for
them, provided someone doesn’t have
a brain convulsion.
There is still discussion of the an-
nuals. The seniors are to have their
pictures made this week, to be put
in the annual. Progress has slowed up
a little this week, but don’t you ever
worry, someone is always on the job.
If anyone is going to decide to go
to Waco “to see Santa Claus” this
Christmas.
If a certain Junior girl and a cer-
tain Senior girl are going to have
their pictures enlarged.
Who likes ham sandwiches?
Why is Jane Standefer called
“Fireplug”.
Last, but certainly not least, we
wonder what “Santa” is going to
bring us all.

H. E. II News
On Friday, Nov. 29, 1940, the Hope-
ful Homemakers Club met for a pro-
gram. The following program was
givenf
Song: by all
Class Prophecy, Ema Pearl Bron-

Reading, Nova Mae Pearce

Song, Beatrice Rodgers
Reading Peggy Carr
Closing Song, “Beautiful Texas”,
by all
The class sang several songs. As
our guests, we had two little girls
from South of the Border who are
now attending school here to sing and
talk in their native language. Among
the songs Frankie and Beatrice sang
were “The Isle of Capri” and “Rancho
Grande”. We enjoyed this variety of
numbers very much.
The following reading given by Nova
Mae was an original poem written by
our own very capable Dorothy Ann
Brown. Dorothy Ann is a genius at
making up little poems and sayings
which are all originals of her sweet,
loveable character. We hope you like
it as much as we did. It was very
suited for our Thanksgiving program.
THANKSGIVING
(Dorothy Ann Brown)
Thanksgiving is a joyous time,
Everything seems in perfect rhyme
The children are happy as they
rollick and play;
The grown-up gossip, with lots to
say.
Then to the table they happily go
And sit in a long and jolly row;
Grey-headed granddad at the end,
Grateful thanks to God doth send.
He then takes dressing and a
turkey’s thigh,
And passes them on with the cake
and'pie.
They all are happy as they sit and
dine
On that splendid dinner, delicious
and fine;
Then the women clear the table,
As granddad tells a dear old fable;
They all are happy as they talk
and play. i|g

CLIFTON WOMAN WINS
2ND PRIZE WITH RECIPE
(From Waco Times-Herald food page)
A delicious recipe of three or more
agricultural commodities designated
as surplus foods, called risotto, is
submitted by Mrs. J. W. Whatley of
Clifton. The recipe combines pork,
onions, parsley and nuts with chicken
and rice and raisins and the dish is
served in a bowl with plenty of grated
parmesan cheese. It wins the second
prize of $3 for this special edition.
Here it is:
Risotto
% cup diced salt pork
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large slice onion
Vs cup chopped parsley
Vi cup nuts, if desired
1 clove garlic
% teaspoon salt
1 small boiled chicken
.Vt quarts chicken broth
1 cup rice
Vi cup raisins
parmesan cheese
Prepare the chicken for boiling;
and cook. Drain off the broth; and re-
move the fat from it. Shred the
chicken meat. Put the salt pork and
olive oil in a separate kettle; add the
onion and garlic, chopped, the par-
sley and nuts; and cook a few minutes
until the onion is yellowed. Then add
the chicken meat and rice; and cook
until the rice begins to turn yellow.
Stir in a little of the hot broth; add
% teaspoon of salt. As the rice ab-
sorbs the liquid, add more from time
to time. Cook slowly an hour and a
quarter, add the raisins the last ten
minutes. Serve in bowls with plenty
of parmesan cheese.
