“KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS
By Mame Roberts
It has been said that if you
want a job well done, look for
the buisiest person in town,
and a busier person in town
could not be found that Alma
Fincher Thompson.
It is hard to enumerate her
many interests. Alma is the
wife of the superintendent of
Howe schools, and an able
and interested co-worker in
all school activities. The
youth of the town has a spe-
cial place on her busy sched-
ule. She leads and directs a
class of junior girls at the
First Baptist Church where
there is seldom a meeting in
which she is not a participant
for the church and for the
welfare of the community.
She is the mother and
mother-in-law of two fine,
young married couples, Steve
and Alice Thompson Randall
and Bill (the Reverend) and
Rachel Thompson and she has
a prominent daughter, Miss
Sue Thompson, head of the
Foods Department of Arkan-
sas State College of Conway,
Alma is president of the
Howe Sesame Study Club
which has won the honor of
being a women’s service club
for the' betterment of the
communities.
She is studying aft, with
potrait painting as an object-
ive.
Workng with flowers is a
hobby. She plants what she
likes, and she likes roses.
Alma is the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Fin-
cher. She1 is a graduate of a
Houston High School and
Baylor University.
She believes that “we build
the ladder from which we rise
from the lowly earth to the
vaulted skys.”
The Thompsons live at 113
West Duke Street.

FFA NEWS
Miss Donna Moses, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. N. D. Moses,
represented the Howe FFA
Chapter at the Sherman Dis-
trict FFA Sweetheart and
Talent Contest in Sherman
last Monday night. Donna
competed with the Chapter
sweethearts from the eleven
FFA Chapters in the county
for the district title. Miss
Beverly Barnett of Gunter
won the contest. Donna was
accompianefd be her parents
and 20 members of the Howe
FFA Chapter.
Larry Carver and Johnny
Orr represented the Howe
Chapter in the Talent Contest
They presented two country
music numbers. They com-
peted with talent teams from
Denison and Gunter. The
Gunter team won the talent
contest and will represent the
(Sherman District at the Area
Convention to be held in
in May in Denton.
8 CITY ELECTION
The deadline for filing for
the three city officers to be
elected on April 6th passed
last Saturday without a con-
tested seat. C. C. Jones filed
for relection as did Mr. Fred
Halcomb and Mr. Bill Mayo.
No other candidates filed and
so these three names will be
all who are on the; ballot. And
they will be automatically
elected unless there is a write
in campaign.
A write in campaign, usual-
ly a whspered affair, can
sometimes unseat a good man
because of the attitude of his
supporters who think that his
election is assured and fail to
vote. Then, with only a very
few voting for the man on the
ballot, because they think his
election is assured, the write!
in man is elected by a very
few disgruntled persons. This
is not a very fair way of
winning an election, but if
the supporters of the man on
the ballot don’t vote, there is
nothing can be done about it.
In our issue of April 1, we
expect to have more to say
about the election. Thank you.

PANCAKE SUPPER
MONEY NEEDED FOR
YOUTH
Summer is not too far away
and youth will be served. Re-
creation for our young people
is a responsibility of yours
and mine. Now is the time
for us to aid in getting some
money together to help our
youngsters in this area.
A pancake supper is being
held this Friday night, March
12, from six to eight p.m. in
the Howe High School Gym.
Tickets are 75 cents for adults
and 50 cents for children.
Proceeds from this • supper
will be used to help in the
recreation program this sum-
mer.
The Howe Chrmber of
Commerce cannot do this by
themselves. You must help,
too. How can you help? By
simply buying a ticket and
attending the pancake supper
and eating all the pancakes
you can hold. Now, isn’t that
easy?
Well, it isn’t quite that easy
to plan and carry out a pan-
cake sUPper with a few people
but everyone of the volun-
teers are making a great ef-
fort to have a real turn-out
for the supper and this, in
turn, will guarantee that the
summer program for our
youngsters will indeed be
enhanced.
There will be good enter-
tainment as well as a good
feed!
Come on and buy a ticket—
you won’t miss the money—
you will enjoy the food, enter-
tainment and fellowship.
