PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
Panther ■ White Deer
Contest Is Postponed
Frye, Magician,
Coming Monday
at High School
Frye, famous American magi-
cian. will present “Mysteries” in
Panhandle High School auditor-
ium on Monday, October 20 at
*7:30 p. m. according to an an-
nouncement by K. L. Turner, Sup-
erintendent.
Magic is one of the perenial
sources of entertainment the
world over, and Frye is one of the
leading exponents. During the
past fifteen years literally millions
of people have enjoyed his pro-
grams in leading, auditoriums and
theatres throughout the forty-
eight states of the union and in
every province of Canada.
Oriental and Occidental magic,
with both ancient and modern il-
lusions and mysteries, follow one
another with startling rapidity
Frye has gotten away from the
old stereotyped kind of program
and originality predominates both
in the effects and manners of
presentation.
In addition to “Mysteries” Frye
will present an added novelty of
unusual beauty and appeal. “Pic-
tures from Rags”. By deftly plac-
ing strips of cloth and rags on a
large easel, unique and lovely
pictures are formed.
Knowing a magician must en-
tertain as well as mystify, Frye
keeps his audience in a continual
uproar of laughter with- his flow
of wit and many humorous situ-
ations. He will be assisted by a
charming young woman.
The program is sponsored by
the Junior class of Panhandle
High School.
Patrolman Explains
Five-Point Safety
Law at J.C.C. Lunch
^ C. H. Ballard, state highway
patrolman, was guest sneaker at
the luncheon of Panhandle Junior
Chamber of Commerce Monday.
He was introduced by Floyd Hub-
bard, who had charge of the pro-
gram fov the day.
Ballard explained the five-point
safety program which was passed
by the state legislature last term.
* The points are: raising of speed
.'unit to suit modern machines and
highways: passing new driving
license provisions; making re-
porting of accidents compulsory:
revising driving while intoxicated
law; and increasing patrol force
in the state.
$ The speaker explained that
speed laws will be given strict
enforcement now that they are
brought up to reasonable stand-
ards. One point that he stressed
in the law was the limit of all
commercial vehicles to 45 miles
per hour and this includes cars
pulling trailers.
Regarding the driving license
law Ballard said that all licenses
with serial numbers from 1 to
4 50,000 are renewable now and
must be renewed by Dec. 1. Num-
bers between 450,00 and 900,000
must be renewed by March 1 and
and can be renewed during the
3 months prior to that time. Ones
£ from 900,000 to 1,350,00 .are- re-
newable starting April 1 and due
June 30. From 1,3 50.001 up re-
newable beginning July 1 and
must be renewed bp Nov. 1, 194 2.
Ballard said that drunken driv-
ers with only a few drinks were
the ones the department of pub-
lic safety was most concerned with
because they were the ones who
were possessed with the opinion
that they were excellent drivers.
Consequently the most danger-
ous.
Pep talks were given regarding
the coming football game between
the Jaycees and Lions club next
Tuesday night at Panther field.
Most of the members were fairly
confident of their ability to cope
with the double-shuffling team
and were not inclined to exert
themselves too much in practice.
.Time will tell.

! B ujs i me ss and Professional

proximately one hundred and fif-

Named Chairman
The football game between the
Panhandle high school Panthers
and' the White Deer Bucks has
been postponed until Friday, Nov.
7, it was announced by K. L.
Turner, superintendent of Pan-
handle schools, yesterday.
Rains during the past week has
made it impossible for automo-
biles to Drive to Panther Park
here where the game was sche-
duled for play. The playing field
itself was still in fairly good con-
dition, Mr. Turner said, but due
to muddy grounds around the
stadium it was felt best to post-
pone the contest.
The game had been moved up
this year until Oct. 17 in order
to play at night. The contest is
usually scheduled around the 1st
of November each year.
Coach Jack Atkins’ Panthers
will get a two weeks rest due
to the postponement. Their next
game will be with Phillips on
the Blackhawk’s home field Fri-
day, Oct. 31.

.67 Inch Rain Is
Recorded Here
The weather again turned moist
this week bringing .67 of an inch
h moisture to Panhandle between
Tuesday evening and Thursday
lorning.
This fall raised the total amount
for the year to nearly 28 inches of
moisture at this point.
Farmers were delayed by the
rain in sowing, plowing and har-
vesting of an exceptionally good
crop of feed. Many feared that
the delay would vitally effect the
1942 wheat harvest as very few
growers are completely through
seeding their fields.
Volunteer growth caused from
the large amount of wheat which
went down under hard rains dur-
ing harvest, is still a big pro-
blem to the farmers. Some few
are considering the possibility of
leaving the volunteer wheat in-
stead of sowing a new stand.

DELINQUENT
TAX LAW IS
OFF OCT. 31
3
Per Cent Discount
Also Given This
Month
Deadline is drawing near for
payment of delinquent taxes un-
der the special law which permitt-
ed the releasing of penalty and
interest on state and county ad
valorem tares, both real and per-
sonal. This special law expires
Nov. 1
It was estimated that Carson
cnuntv has more th|' $15,000
in delinquent taxes on the rolls.
A person who has deliquent tax
due on property for a period of
several years is required to pay
the entire amount before the pen-
alty and interest can be released.
If a property owner for example
had delinquent taxes in amount
of $50 per year for 1934 through
1938. or five years, it would be
possible for him to save a total
of $86.25 on the taxes if he . paid
before Nov. 1 .
Tax payers may also take ad-
vantage of a three percent dis-
count allowed by the state on
current taxes if they pay before
Nov. 1, it was pointed out.
The tax collector’s office is
stressing the importance of all
automobile and truck owners to
secure a certificate of title before
Jan. 1. as it will be required by
the state before such vehicle can
be operated upon a public high-
way after that. date. The certificate
also must be presented at the tax
collector’s office before licenses
can be issued next spring, it was
said.

“FIGHTING BOB’’ STEPHEN
° --vr ©
Getting clear out of hand of
the two disputing coaches, the
Lions club and Jaycee teams this
week were working hard on plays
featuring triple-reverses and 50-
yard passes in preparation for the
big grid contest next Tuesday
night at Panther field.
Plans for the game came out
of an argument between. Coach
Jack Atkins and Coach S. D.
Shepherd on the merits of the QT
plus a double-shuffle offense and
the Dog Patch defense.
The Lions club very graciously
consented to represent Coach At-
kins and his QT-double-shuffle
and the Junior Chamber of Com-
merce agreed to back Shepherd’s
Dog Patch style of play.
Both teams this week claim to
have an array of unbeatable com-
binations and it is beginning to
look as if fans will get' a look at
that long questioned irresistible
force meeting an immovable ob-
ject.
Ticket sales are mounting into
the thousands as fans scramble
for a chance to see such illust-
rious stars as “Tubby” Boyles,
captain of the Lions and “Fight-
ing Bob” Stephen, captain of the
Jaycees, in action.
The contest starts at 8 p. m.
next Tuesday night.
Other outstanding stars to be
seen on the gridiron that night
will be “Toothless” Randel, “Knot
Hole” Lane, “Peach Seed” Wald-
ron, “6 6667 Graves. “Sliypoke”
Mecaskey, “Linament” Watkins,
“Xylophone” Smith. “Drip” Davis
and “Nowata” Griffith for the
shufflin’ Lions club outfit.
For the Dog Patch lads there
will be such standouts as “Bony”
McGregor, “Chizzle” Eagle. “Jun-
ior” McCollough. “Hairless Joe”
Holcomb, “Detective” Smith,
“Sure Toe” Vance, “Stinky” Felts.
“Wild Horse” Ramey. “Jitterbug”
Orr “Shif’less” Slagle. “Torchy”
Hubbard. “Iron Horse” Armstrong
“Off-side” O’Neal and “Gummy”
Graham.
The above members of the two
squads are by no means all of the
glorious galaxy players listed on
both elevens but it gives a good
idea of the brand of high class
football that will be played n-ext
Tuesday night.
There are still a few tickets
available for the contest but it
estimated that the bettev seats
are going fast.
