TXMPSOK WEEKLY THUS—Ttmpaoa, Text*, Oct 7, 1946
County School News
;By Bernik E. Nix. County Superintendent)_
Several families in the coun-
ty have recently lost school-age
loved ones. May the Good Lord
help you is our prayer.
Recently we had the pleasure
of attending an agricultural
meeting called by County
Agent Joe Anderson, j The
meeting was attended by busi-
ness men, civic leaders, minis-
ters, people from press and ra-
dio, ,county officials and oth-
ers. This was the beginning of
an all-out effort by Mr. Auder-
■on and the other agricultural
agencies to help the general
public see how agriculture in
Shelby is an industry and can
be made a much larger one if
everyone realizes this fact and
helps put on a real drive to put
agriculture in Shelby county
on a sound basis and thus let
this industry take its place
along side with other indus-
tries in helping our county.
Mr. Barton and Mr. Bo*
from Texas A. & M. College
presented forceful facts to
show this can and should be
done.
Realizing that all good
things come fnm Almighty
God and the good earth He
provided us, we must also real-
ize that this soil must be cared
. for. The first step in this pro-
gram is to get people to take
soil samples of their land in
order to see what is needed for
efficient and healthy plant
growth. As a former agricul-
tural worker, I endorse this
program and stand ready to
help in anyway I can.
We are surely happy to see
all the schools of our county
making a good showing for
themselves in football. The
Center boys demonstrated
what they could do recently
when they defeated Hemphill.
Timpson, Tenaha, Joaquin and
Bheibyviile have also demon-
strated great strength, 'cour-
age, and will power.
There are several new
coaches in the county, and they
are all working at the job. I
know only one of them person-
ally, Mr. Cannon of Shelby-
ville, and he is doing a great
job. The others I know by
their good reputations as play-
ers and coaches. Let us not for-
get the "Pec-Wee” or smaller
boys. Borne of them ere doing
an outstanding job.
The following Shelby coun-
ty schools are enrolled 100%
this year in TSTA: Joaquin,
Center, Excelsior, and Strong.
The others schools may also be
100%, but we are not sure at
this time.
The school bus drivers asso-
ciation met recently in Center
in the court house and elected
the following officers r
Rip Borders, president.
James Smith, vice president.
Donnie Adams, membership
chairman.
The group requested that I
act as their secretary.
Superintendent K. T. Franks
from Joaquin was also present.
To literature and history stu-
dents we leave a poem and a
thought:
PLEASANT STREET
Author unknown
The foiks that live on Plessant
Street,
Are just the kind you like to
meet.
Smiling lips and twinkling eyes
That makes you think of sunny
skies
They always have a word to
say
Hut sends you happy on your
way.
It gives new zest to merely
The kind that live oa Pleasant
Street.
Their dispositions are serene,
You know the people ■ that 1
mean!
The kind one always likes to
meet;
It is wonderfn! to live on Pleas-
ant Street.
Along these linee, Rousseau
once said: "The most impor-
tant lesson in life is simply
this: never hurt anybody."
AMERICA N-STYLE
PARKING TICKETS
COME TO LONDON
London — American - style
parking tickets came to Lon-
don today. The reception was
grim.
An irate driver plucked the
ticket from the windshield
wiper and complained bitter-
ly.
“I accepted American hot
dogs. I accepted American
iced tea. But this, this f most
certainly do not accept,” he
asserted.
He gripped the ticket as
though to shred it and then
thought better of it as he spot-
ted the "traffic warden” who
had issued it He put it in his
pocket. *
Private Schools
Costly in Britain
London — With Britain’s
schools reopening the middle
of this month, some 326,000
lathers are digging deep into
their pockets to find a total of
>165,200,000 to pay for their
children’s education during
the coming year.
Out of nearly 9,000,000
children attending schools in
Britain, nearly 600,000 are in
private schools of all kinds, in-
cluding kindergarten, prepara-
tory and private day schools
and the big secondary board-
ing schools called "public
schools.”

THE '61 PONTIAC IS OUT TODAY!
/ts AH Pontiac!
on a new Wide-Track!
New track-to-body proportion! The track is the width between the
wheels. Pontiac is the only Wide-Track car. Body width is reduced,
shaving side overhang, balancing more weight between the wheels.
Best relationship of body width to wheel width ever tw'crcd. Lean
and sway are ancient history.
Announcing the new Pontiac Trophy V-8 Engine! We’ve improved
the engine the experts said was perfect. New fuel induction system
saves gas by using more air in the gasoline mixture. This makes the
engine breathe more efficiently, giving you better acceleration.
Eleven versions to choose from. Horsepowers range from 215 to
348. For best economy, specify the Trophy Economy V-8. Its lower
compression ratio lets you use regular gas.
More headroom, legroom, toolroom for greater comfort! YouT take
great comfort in the extra roominess we’ve buit into the ’61 Pontiac
Seats are higher, yet there's more dear
ance beneath the steering wheel and
more hat room over your head. There is
more iegroom, more foot room. Doors
are wider and designed to swing open
farther. The more highway you put
behind you (Pontiac specializes in this)
the more you’d appreciate the new
room that's ad around you in this rieek
new '61.
