Sometimes I forget how
young everyone is.
Not m» long ago I reviewed
Anne Morrow Lindbergh's
lovely new book. "Hour of
Gold. Hour of Lead". Some of
my young friends who read it
asked me what happened after
that. I realized actually how
long ago it was even though I
personally can remember so
vividly how we all agonized
with the Lindberghs during
Ihctr ordeal
As luck would have it as I
was browsing in the library I
found a delightful book book
“The Last Hero: Charles
Lindbergh'' by Waller Rose
The author's reason for so
naming the book he says was
that Charles Lindbergh’s
achievement was due to in-
dividual effort Ail heroic
accomplishments later were
the resuit of collective work,
computerized teamwork
Charles Lindbergh s story is
one of an American Dream
that could have happened only
here in the earlier part of this
century. It is the story of a
young man who didn't like
school too well, who loved to
tinker with mechanical things
who had great desire and
singleness of purpose
The book details his lone trip
to Paris, the adulation he
received, the way he refused to
commercialize or cheajien his
achievement
Lindbergh challenged the
advisability of the ll.S Army's
taking over the airmail: he
proved right and so won
Roosevelt's enduring
animosity. I.ater, he also
became ar. anti-hero when he
rightly assessed the Nazi air
power as superior to other
nations
The lx»ok covens his ex
ploration of air routes, his work
with Dr Alexis Carrel on the
heart pump machine, the
kidnapping and agonizing trial
and his disillusion with press
and publicity
In spite of the emotional
scars, however, he has
managed lo have a mellow old
17 with the scheduling of early
morning rehearsals. The sec-
tional rehearsals which started
Monday morning start at 7;30
and last until 8:15. Each morn-
ing a different section has a
rehearsal.
Last Thursday morning the
seniors of the Marching 100
were measured for their band
jackets.
The Wildcat decals sales are
under way. Last Saturday many
band members sold the decals
In front of surrounding stores.
The high salesman for the de-
cals is a Freshmen Bobby King.
The Marching 100 would like
to wish our football team an-
other victorious win to bring
our Wildcats just one more
step closer to state.
C. Sparks
age after having reared an
interesting family of five living
children
This is a book that one can’t
put down but is loathe to finish
because he just knows the next
book won't be nearly so
rewarding
The family has the basic
biological function of
reproduction -and is the
carrier of heritage and culture,
according to Dorthy Taylor
With the growing emphasis
on power shortages, prepare
one dish meals in an electric
skillet
"The average electric skillet
uses less power than a range
element-and far less than an
oven," according to Mrs Doris
Myers, home management
specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Ser-
vice, Texas A&M University
System
Besides conserving elec-
trical power, it saves
"homemaker energy” too A
meal cooked and served in the
same container saves clean-up
times, she noted
"Unfortunately, many
homemakers' electric skillets
take up valuable storage space
without getting used
"It's pretty costly to own and
not use such an appliance," the
specialist said
"It's also expensive to
mistreat it Proper care and
maintenance play important
roles in conservation of
resources- by avoiding un-
necessary breakdowns, repairs
and expenses "
Remove acid and salty foods
as quickly as possible to avoid
pitting the roooking surface
l>et the skillet cool to room
temperature before washing it,
Mrs Myers continued "Cold
