BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
1940 is' here, and joyously . we
greet her as we say goodbye to
’39 and the activities which have
passed with her.
Now we stand on the threshold
of a new year, with a clean Slate
in hand and prepared for the fu-
ture, with more new resolutions
than ever before.
But what are our resolutions?
Are they worthwhile to ourselves
and our associates? Do we-plan to
abide by them strictly? If our
resolutions are not worthwhile to
us' and our companions we need to
revise them and make them bene-
ficial to all.
Did you resolve to be of more
service to your community and
school, and take advantage of
every worthy opportunity? This
you should do and strive to make
1940 a fruitful year.
•jW'ar has shadowed our previous
year, and no doubt, to a certain
extent, has been universal. Grate-

Christmas vacation.
Classes were dismissed at 11:45
Thursday, Dec. 21, and a program
and gift exchange was carried on
during the afternoon.
The High School chorus sang
several Christmas selections which
were followed by a Christmas
play, “The Cathedral Clock,” un-
der the supervision of Wendell
Cain and Delores Bishop, student
director.
Those having parts in the play
were Dorothy Colgrove, 'Ray W.
Veale, Jean Beth Culbertson, Jen-
nett Moore, and Gerald Walker.
Two piano selections, “Shortin’
Bread” and “Nola” were played
by Mrs. Elton Beene and Glenn
Davis.

One of the major events of 1940
that you can look forward to is
the census which Uncle Sam has
taken every 10 years since 1790.
But you’ll have to stick around
until April 1 to be counted.
Census officials decline to guess
about the census total, but they
sometimes use a formula which
indicates about a 132,000,000
count, compared with 124,000,000
in 1930. I
GAS IS FATAL TO
FOUR CHILDREN
Perth Amboy, N. J., Jan. 1—
Four children ranging in age from
one to ten years died in a holiday
tragedy today when illuminating
gas, seeping through their second
floor flat, overcame a family of
seven.
In critical condition at Perth
Amboy General Hospital were Mr.
and Mrs. John Guile and their
daughter, Nancy, 4 years old.
Guile is a trouble-shooter for the
Perth Amboy Light Company.
Killed by the fumes were two
t&irls and two boys; Theresa, 10;
Joan, 7; Frank, 3, and John, one.
WANT A SABLE, LADY?
The time is about here for the
annual influx of those mysterious
peddlers who turn up every year
with a tall tale and a stock of
‘smuggled’ oriental rugs, ‘Irish’
lace, stolen furs and what do you
want ? 11
The type and kind of merchan-
dise varies, but the fast talk and
petty (sometimes not so petty!)
fraud continue on the same year
after year.
When a peddler whom you
don’t know, and very probably
will never see again, calls at your
door you’ll be/wise to turn him
away. It takes an expert to detect
poor fur or fur which has been
“doctoi’ed” into looking like
something which isn’t. Your local
merchant won’t cheat you, and
couldn’t afford to if he was so
inclined—which he isn’t. You can
depend on him. The' peddler is
here today and miles away tomor-
row.
And above everything else, re-
member that “smuggled,” “sto-
len”, etc., are nothing but catch
words to snare the sucker!
Make up your mind not to be
one, no matter how1 glib the sales
talk is. Buy from our local mer-
chant !
HOME TOWN THOUGHTS
As the farmer keeps his fields
productive by seeding them with
fertilizer, so the citizens of White
Deer can keep their home town
productive by fertilizing it with
money sp^nt at home.
Don’t find fault about business
not being good, if you failed to
use the advertising that builds up
’business.
guess what—a big old teddy bear
Ennie (Dalhart) Jones got a Swit-
zerland, er pardon me, a. Swiss
wrist watch.
Billie Moon went galevantin ’
down towards the Sooner state for
her holidays.
Ho, hum—Well, here we are—
a bunch of kids that can hardly
get their eyes open. Them holidays
wuz plum hard on em,’
Everybody came back happy
but Betty J. Harding. It seems
she and her b. b. had one big ele-
gant bust-up.
Eileen Marshall went social on
us and entertained twenty lads
and lassies at a Christmas party.
I’ve seen a bunch of our noble
students totin’ playbooks around
with ’em. WDHS is just chuck
full o’ actors and actresses—Yeh,
and Mr. Cain says he wishes he
could find ’em.
He wandered lonsomely down
the hall. . . . Suddenly! two huge
senior girls approached him. W ith
their big hands they grabbed him.
What is it? A new boy? Oh, just
the little kitten that stays in WD
Hi boiler room.
Ollie says she went sleigh rid-
ing. More fun—More people skin-
ned.
Vern McCreary is really worth
sumpin’ now. He has some new
gold in his teeth.
Here’s a believe it or not! Bill
Ilinkley was seen standing in the
gym wtih not a sign of a grin on
his handsome face. You can cry on
my shoulder, Bill.
EXTRA ABOUT EXES
During the Christmas holidays
what could be expected but to see
everyone home from college in
high spirits, greeting everyone
with a smile. Especially interest-
ing to the students were those who

and were personal friends of

Those from Skellytown who
were the three News, Joe, Warren
Paul and Earl, Jr.; Dennis Feig-
enspan; Orman Harlan; Mary V.
Bastain, the former Mary V. Cul-

to have a project Avhich will ben-
efit the school in general.
A committe was chosen to make

has not been set for the reception.
SURPRISE PACKAGE
Upon opening the surprise pac-
kage of this week, we find many
pleasant little bits.
The first thing that attracted
our attention was the surprising
fact that Mrs. June Newby, the
former June Barnett, has a new
baby boy, born Dee. 27.
The second, an ewe-striking bit
of news, was that almost everyone
got to see his or her brother or
sister during the Christmas holi-
days.
Another surprise, a big one to
most girls and especially to Jim-
mie Russell’s, “ I-wish-I-had-a
chance-at-him” girls, is the sick-
ening fact that he thinks he has
found the right girl.
Just one more small article in
our package of the week, friends,
and it is of very small importance
(to most) W'e did not hear a one
say, “I wish I could go on like
this forever.”
Well, friends, we reach for an-
other important surprise, but “no
soap.” All we find is the bottom
of the box, so we close it slowly
and push it in the corner to be
filled again with surprises for
next week, when we open it and
see what’s new- in our faithful old
school and its surroundings.
CAN YOU IMAGINE ? ? ?
Eileen Marshall making a reso-
lution with her old swinging gang
to go to church every Sunday
night ?
Everyone passing the mid-term
exams next week?
Rosetta Marshall keeping her
locket, that M. D. got her, in the
box all the time?
Betty Jane Harding going sleigh
riding and getting so cold she just
turned loose?
Bill Gumfory going to tne South-
ern Club and drinking, what shall
we say, Orange pop?
Tommy Gumfory and Christine
Austin not getting in until after
4 o’clock New Year’s day?
John Tom Price as short as Bil-
ly Roy Price and vice versa ?
" Alladeen Werth not worrying
about her exams? She always
comes out with the highest honors.
La Velle Horton looking any
way but happy?
1940 basketball schedule.

competition will be great in the
tournament.
Probable starting line-up in the
tournament will be Hawkins and
Stalls, forwards; Russell and Noel
guards; and Potter, center.
IT’S NEW YEAR AGAIN
Can you imagine these kids ma-
king these New Year resolutions?
To refrain from being serious—
Dallen Kotara. Not to talk about
anybody—Eileen Marshall. To
make people think I’m boy crazy
—Jean Couch. To try to get along
with everybody—Jean Beth Cul-
bertson. To make friends and in-
fluence people—Hilma Newby. To
make more friends and not be
hateful—Maxine Thurlow.
Will they keep them? Let’s see.
“JEST FOR YOU”
It was during a national con-
vention of World War veterans
that the desk clerk at the big ho-
tel asked the latest arriving vet-
eran :
“And what rank did you hold
during the war, sir?”
The veteran said, casually, “Me,
I was just a private.”
Whereupon the desk clerk gave
him the best room in the house.
After all, there are so few honest
men nowadays!—Contributed.
America has just celebrated a
Christmas in which fnost of its
people could joyfully participate.
What a contrast to Old World
conditions where nations are dead-
locked in a campaign of hate and
where even little children must
be armed with gas masks.

1940
Despite all the things AVe have
to say about the printing business
ourselves, there are a feAv of us
Avho do not recognize in it a busi-
ness set apart from all others.
Henry Porter expressed this
thought many years ago and El-
bert Hubbard included it in his
scrap book. “Printing is a good
business. It is clean, honorable,
respectable. It is celebrated as a
trainer of men for higher stations
in life. It has many inspiring tra-
ditions and legends. It combines
the need for knoAAdedge of e\7ei*y-
thing under the sun: mathematics,
mechanics, language, spelling, co-
lor, grammar, composition, sales-
manship; there is indeed no limit
to the accomplishments that are
required of the printer. The print-
er is brought into contact with all
other vocations and professions.
No vocation or profesion can
really exist without the printing-
press. From text-books to novels,
pamphlets to neAvspaper, from tic-
kets to taxbills, no man can evade
the printed word.’’
that there are noAv matters of dif-
ference between his government;
and theirs but of neither AAdtb ex-
pectancy of Avar.
He Avorships God in the fashion
of his choice, Avithout let.
His children are Avith him in
his home, neither removed to a.
place of greater safety, if -yotn^,-
nor, if older, ordered ready to
serve the state Avith sacrifice oJt
limb or life.
He has his problems, his trou-
bles, his uncertainties, but all oth-
ers are not overshadowed by the-
imminence of battle and suddeia
death.
He is a fortunate man.
He is an American.—N. Y. Sms.
The principal thing that marred;
our holiday celebration Avas the-
terrible highAvay accident toll of"
nearly 1,000 people. But even?
there, conditions are improving
and let us hope that by education-
this toll will be reduced to a.mini-
mum within the next few years.
