Professor IW- A. Stephenson,
from Hardin-Simmons university
spoke on “The Need; of Christian
Education,” at the morning hour
at the First Baptist church, Sun-
day.
One main point he brought out
was, if the Christian people would
try to do everything in their pow-
er to witness for Christ the na-
tion would be much better and
wars would be decreased.
At the evening service the Gol-
den Girls quartet, composed of
Frances Cooper, Leta Riddle,
Dorotnv Shannon, and Elizabeth
Duck, from Hardin-Simmons, ren-
dered a sermon in song.
After the service the young
people went to the Sunbeam Hall

other songs consisting of negro
spirituals, patriotic, and popular
songs.

“'No child was born a
Nazi,
Communist, or Democrat, but be-
came that through environment
and training,” stated IMrs. C. T.
Hunkapillar, guest speaker at the
Parent - Teachers Asso c i at i o n
meeting, Monday evening in the
grade school auditorium.
She continued by saying that
:self-sacrifice, love, understanding,
and remembrances were some of
the spirits that helped preserve
peace, contentment, and security
in the homes of today.
“Home will be democratic if
the rights, privileges, and duties
of each member are respected,
she said. Rights include privacy,
and respect for personalities.
Privileges include knowledge of
finances, freedom from unkind
criticism, and freedom from pre-
judices. Duties should be definite-
ly assigned and the child depend-
ed upon to carry out his duties.
She concluded by saying that
the divorce rate in the Panhandle
was among the highest in the na-
tion, and that we should look to
the future before breaking up our
homes, for stajble homes will bring
about more stability and' security
in the nation.

Big Fruit Crop
Predicted After
Freeze Misses
'City Dad” Sam Goodner
After practically all Panhan-
dle fruit trees escaped frost dam-
age this past w;eek-end, Weather-
man Collman Monday predicted
the biggest Panhandle fruit crop
in at least six years.
The weekend cold was the cri-
sis. Although temperatures at
some Norh Plains points got sev-
eral degrees below freezing other
conditions counteracted to pre-
vent damage.
South of the Canadian River
should have record breaking fruit
crops, according to latest reports.
The weatherman doesn’t expect
much more cold weather.
In the city election held recent-
ly in Panhandle, Sam Goodner,
White Deer reared boy, received
89 votes for alderman out of 93
votes cast.
Texas Panhandle wheat losses
this year are expected by Ernest
R. Duke, state Federal Crop In-
surance Corp. director, to he no
more than one-half of what they
were in 1940.
J He predicts that aside from
- seven counties along the Texas-
New Mexico line, the Panhandle
wheat crop will be the best since
1931.
His current estimate is that the
FCIC settlements for losses this
year will .be about 500,000 bush-
els of wheat. Both premiums and
claim settlements are paid in
grain, or the cash equivalent on
the day the premium is paid of
the claim adjusted.
In 1939 the federal crop insur-
ance claims in Texas came to 1,-
600,000 bushels. In 1940 the
claims were 1,200,000 bushels. In
each of these years and in 1941,
as well the insurance premiums
averaged 1,100,000 bushels. In the
past two years the claims allow-
ed ran well above the premiums.
There are 10,200 Texas wheat
farmers — .the biggest part of
them in the Panhandle—covered
by crop insurance this year.
‘ ‘ The insurance covers all un-
avoidable hazards,” says State
Director Duke, Avkose office is in
‘the Amarillo building.
He explains thjs includes
drouth, hail, insects, fire and
Avind erosion damage.
The counties he lists as subnor-
mal for Avheat are Dallam, Hart-
ley, Moore, Oldham, Deaf Smith,
Parmer and Bailey. His reports
are that there are some areas in
other counties where drouth or
wind have destroyed the 1941
Avheat crop, but these are said to
be the smallest in 10 years.
