KNOCK! KNOCK!
The sophomore class met Mon-
Mary E. New day to discuss a party
In the heart of every boy and
girl there is a desire “to amount
to something,” to be above aver-
age, to achieve a certain goal.
Hours are spent building lovely
air castles and in them we are
happily dreaming of what we will
do tomorrow. Does tomorrow ever
come? To some, perhaps, but too
many times it is a pleasant, rath-
er hazy . day in the far distant
future when those dreams will be
fulfilled.
There are those who are strong,
who possess character and cour-
age, and: who will work and work
to reach the top. They will suc-
ceed.
Then, there are those who are
wishing,” dreaming of the day
somehow it doesn’t work out
right and there they sit.
The B'oy Scouts have an excel-
lent motto r “Be prepared.” It
is seldom good taste to wait for
Oipporunity to knock a second
time.
A theater party was decided up-
on. The bus will leave Skelly Fri-
day night at 6 o’clock and White
Deer at 6:30.
The students will go to the La-
Nora theater and1 will stop at the
White Way for refreshments.

WE PRESENT—
‘ ‘ My name is I r m a Ray e
Smith,” quoted and unquoted di-
rectly and unbiasK released from
the “Srnitty” in person when
pounced upon for an interview.
After that amazing statement she
calmly proceeded to give this as
follows as pure facts.
“I like to dance; I’d rather
id'ance than eat!! ” And she pro-
ceeded to demonstrate. Speaking
of “eats” she liked “pig sand-
wiches.” Umm a. carnivinous per-
son (meat-eater to you).
Bookkeping is her favorite sub-
ject, and take heed, she doesn’t
like conceited people. (W h o
does?) Her aim in life is to be a
bookkeeper or secretary.
She was born in Ravena, Texas,
Feb. 29, 1924. (Leap year baby.
She’s really only four, but she
says she is 17.
Srnitty has brown eyes, a dim-
ple, and blonde hair. She was
carnival queen the year she was
a sophomore and a member of
the chorus for two years.
In the regular Student Council
meeting held Tuesday, the RecH
Cross campaign was discussed and
planned to be held over until No-
vember 30, when the National Red
Cross Campaign closes.
The Student Council plans to
have charge of the setting of a
date for regular class meeting
and1 projects to be worked out
there, and is to sponsor also the
choosing a class invitation to be
used by the school for four years.

CAN YOU IMAGINE—
Bucks are: David Collis, Willis
Aulbert, William Franks, and
| Wesley Honaker. Even though
these boys will graduate from
high school this year they will not
be forgotten in the history of
White Deer’s 1941 football sea-
son.
The girls have been holding
their breath until after Thanks-
giving to find out if they can
play basketball in class. Exercise
is what the girls have been moan-
ing about, it seems it makes them
very sore.
Well so-long until neSt week.
It’s 10:30 again.

Another man’s fire may be your
loss.
That may seem an exaggeration
but it’s easily proven. A fire, for
instance, may destroy valuable
taxable property in your town.
Rebuilding may ake. many months,
or the property may not be re-
built at all. All other taxpayers
yourself included, must directly or
indirectly make up for the loss of
tax revenue.
A fire may destroy a factory.
If you’re an employe of that plant
you 11 have to start looking for a
job. If you’re 3 business or pro-
fessional man, your income may
suffer because of the sudden and
drastic cut in local purchasing
power. Men who are thrown out
of work can’t pay their bills. This
reduces their buying to a mini-
mum.
Many oases are on record where
a big fire has resulted in virtual
exoduses from communities. Peo-
ple move aivay, in search of jobs
elsewhere, and they don’t come
back. Down go property values—
up go taxes. Community progress
may come to an end, and retro-
gression set in.
These little, commonplace illus-
trations show what fire means to
you. It means destruction without,
recompense. An insurance policy,
vital as it is, can’t make up for
lost jobs, lost taxes, lost oppor-
tunities. It can’t bring hack the
important intangibles which fire
idiestroys.
Is fire prevention worth while—
and is it worth your, while to do
your bit to stop this ever-menac-
ing destroyer of life and property?
There’s only one answer to that
question—a decisive “Yes!”
Investigations conducted by the
Texas Agricultural Experiment
'Station in cooperation with the
USD A revealed that blackstrap
molasses is neither a. preventive
nor a cure for locoweed poisoning.
Rubber tubing in milking ma-
chines will last longer if it is kept
clean. After each cleaning the
tubes should be hung up to drain
and dry.

“C&wn-pone and Pot-likker” may have been the origin of “dunking —
but to this little lady the practice works just as well with doughnuts
and honey. The picture turned up recently when, curiously enough,
Doughnut Week and National Honey Week happened to coincide.
Honey is healthful for the children, experts say.
