Conference Set for
March at WTSC
CANYON, Oct. 26,—Dates of
the Northwest Texas Conference
for Education at West Texas
State College will be March 8-9,
1940, it was decided at a meeting
of the executive board here Sun-
day.
The conference, which is the
district nine of the Texas State
Teachers Association, will meet
under the gavel of Supt. G. C.
Sanders of Samnorwood, the presi-
dent. The sessions here constitute
the Panhandle’s biggest conven-
tion. Schools in nearly all Pan-
handle counties are dismised so
that teachers, school executives,
and trustees can attend the many
divisions of the conference.
Members of the executive
committee which met here inclu-
ded Supt. H. P. Clemmons, Dim-
mitt; R. A. Selby, Amarillo; Miss
Oretha Jane Cornelius, Amarillo;
and Allen Kavanaugh, county
superintendent of Wheeler county,
who was substituting for Supt. W.
C. Perkins, of Shamrock. Dr. J.
A. Hill and Supt. C. M. Rogers of
Amarillo were present
President Sanders will call the
district delegates to the state
house of delegates of the Texas
State Teachers Association into
session at the Amarillo hotel Sat-
urday morning at 9 o’clock. Reso-
lutions to be presented to the
•state organization will be drafted.
Bucks in Crucial
Game With
Perryton Tonight
Although the White Deer
Bucks are rated the underdogs,
they expect to come out on top
with another conference win
when they play the Perryton
Rangers here tonight, at 8 p. m.
There are three undefeated
teams in conference play at the
present. White Deer, Panhandle,
and Perryton. This margin will be
reduced to two, when White Deer
and Perryton clash tonight. Pan-
handle plays a non-conference
game.
The Bucks depend upon their
speedy backs, strong defensive
line aand the ability to intercept
passes, while the Rangers display
a triple attack, running, plunging
and passing.
The Rangers have not lost a
game, but defeated every oppon-
ent by top-heavy scores. The
Bucks lost a close one to the Mc-
Lean Tigers at the first of the
season. Since then they have won
by decisive victories.
This will probably be the most
colorful game in the Panhandle;
both teams will be fighting their
hearts out to win. [White Deer has
never played Perryton before.
Probable starting line-up for
White Deer: Potter, LE; Gores,
LT; Tomlin, LG; Hinkley, C;
Guerrv, RG; Moot, RT; Crum-
pacer, RE; Hawkins, QB; Bryant,
LH; Stalls, RH; and Russell, FB.

COLLEGE STATION, Oct. 26,
—With 5,317 applications for
wheat crop insurance covering
production of 3,248,782 bushels
already audited, E. R. Duke, state
crop insurance supervisor, esti-
mates approximately 10,000 Texas
wheat farmers will insure their
1940 crops.
Final deadline for applying for
1940 all-risk wheat jC^op insur-
ance was September 30 in the
Panhandle and October 15 in other
sections of the state.

DIPTHERIA IS A
PREVENTABLE DISEASE
One preventable disease, dipthe-
ria, has been responsible for 1\279
deaths in Texas during? the past
four years. The majority of these
deaths were - among- children less
than four years old, and were all
preventable had ' these - children
been properly immunized prior to
contracting the disease.
Prevention of diptheria in child-
ren is $ simple matter of innoc-
ulation with toxoid. The, teeh-
ninue of innoculation causes the
child no discomfort. In approxi-
mately 90 per cent of children re-
ceiving toxoid, there will be estab-
lished a lifetime immunity to the
disease.
To be sure that this immunity
has been established in your, child
six months after the first dose
of toxoid, he . should be Schick
tested to determine his positive
immunity against diptheria. The
test consists of injecting a few
drops of diptheria toxin between
the layers of the skin. If the
child is immune no reaction will

will probably show insurance
coverage has been taken on more
than 5,000,000 bushels, the pro-
duction of more than 1,000,000
acres of Texas wheat farms, Duke
predicted.
Last year only 3,700 policies
'Were taken out in Texas, the su-
pervisor explained, while nearly
three times that number are ex-
pected for this year. Nearly all
insurance is on 75 per cent of
the crop, the maximum offered,
with only a few taking out 50
per cent insurance coverage, Duke
said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Insur-
anc Corporation forecasts that
more thari 300,000 insurance con-
tracts on [the 1940 wheat crop will
be in force in the United States
in the second year of the cor-
poration’s . operation. Only. 170,-
000 contracts were in force last
year.

CLUB TOURNAMENT
A BIG SUCCESS
A game tournament was spon-
sored by the Vnado Blanco club
Tuesday evening, at the grade
school auditorium. Games of ping-
pong, bridge and forty-two were
played throughout the evening.
The success of the tournament
was due largely to the cooperation
of the White Der merchants.
Conditionof Mrs. Biggs Horn is
reported favorable after an op-
eration in the Pampa Hospital,
Monday.
White Deer Citizens be loyal
A misogynist is a man who dis-
likes Avomen almost as much as
they dislike each other.
Diptheria innoculation has re-
in decreased death rates
from diptheria. Year by year
mortality from diptheria is de-
deoreasing, as Avitnes's the 'fact
that in Texas 457 children died in
1935; 351 in 1936; 238 in 1937;
and 233 in 1938.
WASTE IS A CRIME
Waste continues to be a crime of
the present day civilization in this
country. Texans need to return to
the customs of their forebears.
There was a time Avhen parents
would protect a $200 organ or $500
piano as a sacred thing, not allow-
ing their children to finger the
keys except under strict super-
vision. Now, auto costing a thou-
sand dollars are alloAved to stand
in all kinds of weather or be
driven by youths in their teens
at break-neck speed down main
street at all hours.
Sheriff ■ T. B. Harris, avIio at-
tended the North Texas and
Southern- Oklahoma Peace Officers
Convention at Vernon, said that
Pampa Avas selected for the next
meeting place in May, 1940.
Nearly 200 officers attended the
convention and many interesting
talks Avere heard. Judge J. W. N.
Stokes of the Seventh Court of
Civil Appeals, Amarillo, Avas a-
mong the speakers.
Sheriff Cal Rose of Pampa led
in the work to take the next con-
vention to his home toAvn. Sheriff
Bill Adams of Amarillo, presi-
dent of the Texas Sheriff’s Ass’n.,
was toastmaster at the banquet.
The Avarden and band from the
Granite, Okla., reformatory/, at-
tended the convention. It was
most popular with its selections.
Present operations are in Gray,
Carson, Hutchinson and Roberts
counties. Mrs. Hale has an office
in the Pampa city hall. From
March until September the pro-
ject AAras operated in Potter, Arm-
strong, Oldham, and Randall
counties with an average of 14
Avorkers. About one-fourth of the
original appropriation for the
project has been used. There is a
shortage of Avorkers in most coun-
ties. Three Avorkers aire at the
museum here for receipt, index-
ing, and filing of material.
The historical project utilized
the material of the museum in
planning its activities. Then the
Avorkers began their search for
public records, neAvspaper accounts!
and other literature reflecting
early life on the plains. Much at-
tention is being given to inter-
ATieA\rs Avith pioneer citizens who
can give first hand information
concerning the ousting of the in-
dians and the development of the
plains by the white settlers. Many
of these accounts are strong in
elements of color and human in-
terest.
Assisting committees are set up
in each county for the planning
of research and a selection of
persons to be interviewed. In Ann-
strong county the Woman’s De-
velopment club has rendered val-
uable assistance, Mrs. Hale Said.
More than 40,000 historical
units have been obtained from
Avritten records to date.'A county
project is not closed Avhen the
Avoifkefs moATe to another location.
Through correspondence and other
arrangements, the Aoav of histori-
cal data is'continued. After ma-
terial is .cheeked against the origi-
nal'record, it is sent through the
museum, here, for typing, proof
reading, classification, indexing,
and filing. Many relies are being
obtained at the same time.
The appropriation for the his-
torical project Avas $26,894.00. The
Avork in Gray, Hutchinson, Carson,
and Roberts Avill require seA^eral
months.
Back from the shadow of Nazi
planes darkening French skies,
bronzed Blaine Rideout, great
miler from North Texas State
Teachers College came home
from Europe last Tuesday to
enroll at the Denton Teachers
college.
Held in France since the out-
break of the war, Rideout and his
A. A. U. team-mates returned with
the knoAvledge that the French
expect America to come into the
Avar as their ally in the immediate
future.
“No need for you to go back
to America,” they were told.
“You‘11 all be over here fight-
ing a few months.
The 10 A. A. U. athletes who
sailed for Europe July 26, for
international competition in Eng-
land, SAvitzerland, Estonia, and
Greece, found themselves caught
in France after they had filled
an engagement in Monte Carlo
August 27. They had already run
11 times in 22 days during the
first part of their trip.
The Manhattan, which brought
them safely into New York last
Saturday, was the fourth boat
on which they had attempted to
sail. A U. S. liner which ordi-
narily carries 1,100 passengers it
had 1,8()5 on board.
While he Avas in Cannes, Ride-
out saAv German planes fly over
the city to the shriek of air-raid
sirens, Ibut the Nazis dropped no
bombs. He also saAv a large num-
ber of neatHe Senegalese troops
the French Avere sending to the
front—big men Avith tattooed
faces. A British aviator told him
the Allies Avere getting ready for
a “big push” shortly before he
sailed.
Rideout added another world’s
record to his credit on August 19,
when the American team of
SchAvarzopf, Cochran, Beetham,
and himself set a new mark of
7:35.2 in the 3,200 meter relay.
Rideout’s 1:51.5 in that event wras
the best half of his career.
