Foreign Missionaries
Convention Speakers
Assembly of God Church
Missionaries from several for*
eign fields will be the principal
speakers at the second annual
missionary convention which is
scheduled to be held at the Assem-
byl of God church for a. week be-
ginning December 4, according to
an announcement from the Rev.
E. A. Manley, pastor of the
host church,
• Among the speakers will be
Melvin L. Hodges of Central Am-
erica; Sydney Bryant of North
India; E. H. Simmons of Upper
Volta, Africa, and A. C. Bates,
Missionary Secretary of the Texas
District.
The missionaries will wear the
national dress of the people they
have been serving, and they will
have on display many articles used
by them, Rev. Manley said.
Mr. Hodges, who has served
the Spanish people in Central
America for several years, is a
composer of hymns, and the con-
vention program is slated to in-
clude several of his songs, which
he will sing in Spanish. Mr. Sim-
mons has spent half of his two
five year terms in Liberia, and
Mr. Bryant from India will have
interesting things to relate about
his work in North India close to
the forbidden country of Beruit,
where no missionary has ever been
allowed to enter.
In their field of work, accord-
ing to facts presented by Rev.
Manley, the Assembly of God
churches, 45 countries are beinfe
reached by more than 680 mission-
aries in Africa, Asia, India, Eu-
rope, North and South America
ana many islands. They have 3,-
100 churches in foreign lands;
3,053 national ministers; 21 Bi-
ble schools with over 775 stu-
dents. They gave $1,832,736 to
World Missions during the 1947
fiscal year.
Services will be held during the
morning hours at the church, Rev.
Manley announced, immediately
following their morning broad-
cast, and every evening from Sun-
day, December 4, through Sunday,
December 11.
Something Smells
About Football
Contest Thursday
From reports gathered from the
fans on Main street the football
game here Thursday night smells.
Both sides in the contest are
branding the other side in the
event as being unfair and scat-
tering their odious fumes about on
the playing field thus preventing
a fair contest as to who could car-
ry best the pigskin.
No Depression On
Farm Seen in 1950,
Economist States
The next income of Texas farm-
ers and ranchmen, on the average,
should be good again next year,
says Tyrus R. Tinun, extension
economist of Texas A. & M. col-
lege.
In the fix-st place, he say3, net
farm income is expected to bo
good in terms of most previous
years even if the decline expected
in 1950 materializes. This will
make the third straight year tha.t
farm prices have dropped from
the postwar high of 1947. Net
farm incomes for 1950 may be
down as much as 10 to 12 per
cent under 1949, if yields are
average.
Secondly, he continues, in-
comes of persons not living on
farms and receiving their earn-
ings from business profits, wages,

Frozen Food Lockers
Offer Custom Curing
Tempting meat, cured and
smoked just to perfection for you
and your family, is not an unob-
tainable luxury. The Denison
Frozen Food Lockers, 111 South
Fannin, offers a new service to
everyone. Custom - cured and
smoked meats prepared to individ-
ual tastes are available here now.
Under this system, not only
holders of lockers are entitled to
this service, but also any one with
a home freezer can stock up with
smoked meats. All meat cured
and smoked at the Lockers is
guaranteed.
Operated by A. J. Brumbaugh,
this business offers many other
services to its customers. One of
these features fresh meat direct
from Mr. Brumbaugh's ranch.
This is available to customers at
cost plus 4c a pound for process-
ing.
In the past ten years the froz-
en foou locker has come into its
own. Today it has become indis-
pensable to the housewives in the
city as well as those throughout
the rural sections over the nation.
The use of frozen food lockers
enables housewives to have meat
available regardless of seasons.
Thus fresh and smoked meat is
available the year around when
the modern Locker plant is used. |
It is one of the most sanitary and
approved means for your meat
supply.
On March 19th, Mr. Brumbaugh
assumed control of the Frozen
Food Lockers. He attended TCU,
and served in the navy 5 years.
all and the fans who paid the price
to enter the field say they have
seen a lot of football but this was
the most odious thing they ever
witnessed and say it smells to
high heaven for catty playing.
The game was pulled by a bunch
of men gleaned from the crippled
members of the various service
clubs, local unions and other or-
ganizations. „
The object was to raise a lot of
toys for the boys and girls of the
city who might not be otherwise
remembered und the admission
fee was some kind of toy.
The basic plays were intended
not to be according to the rules of
football but to furnish entertain
ment. And furnish entertainment
it did. The two teams playing were
the North Pole Polecats and the
South Pole Skunks.
Most of the time the fur was
flying and the average player
did not know which way he was
going with the ball, nor who had
the ball. "Fans tried to keep sight
of the ball but did not know which
ball to watch, for at times more
than a half dozen balls were be-
ing carried one way or the other.
A touchdown was declared at
times when the ball was merged
over the fifty yard line.
The players would take two
minute rests out of every ten or
less. Instead of water being car
lied out to the players, they were
served ice cream and cold drinks.
The linesmen measured north
while the team was going south.
In all it was the idea to entertain
the children and furnish a burles-
que for the adults.
A large accumulation of toys
was secured and the idea of the
game which came from Noel
Boothman, registered good and
the participants received as much
pleasure out of the performance
as the fans who rooted for their
various sides.
The hides which were left on
the field by the Polecats and
Skunks will be gathered up by the
Central Hide and Rendering com-
pany and salvaged, it was stated
after the game. It was agreed in
advance that if any of the players
were injured on the field they
would not be crried off, but would
be shot like any other animal with
a broken leg.
Bets posted on the game were
about one ounce to cologne to *
hogshead of rosewater that the
Polecats would win. Betting was
brisk all day Wednesday and
Thursday.

tag, Donald Ganter and Ruby

Concert Music
At Waples Church
Next Wednesday
Of special interest to music
lovers here will be the Seminary
Singers in Christmas Concert at
Waples church on the evening of
December 7. The concert is open
net incomes dropping less %than
those of farmers—maybe only 5
percent. The expectation that
exports will hold up, that business
inventories will continue in good
shape, that a large volume of sav-
ings is still waiting for prices of
many postwar products to drop
more and the cashing-in of the in-
surance repayment to veterans
amounting to some 2,8 billions of
dollars are the dominant factors
in the general outlook.
A third consideration, says
Tlmm, is that level of farm profits
in 1950 likely would be much low-
er were It not for the strong gov-
ernment assistance in providing
dollars for foreign countries to
buy our products. And to a less-
er extent by supporting the prices
of some farm products sold in
this country. Timm points out
that part of the profits at least
for 1950 have a risky foundation
and much depends upon the con-
tinuation of government assist-
ance.
The cost of farming is likely to
decrease less than total farm in-
come, says Timm, and that means
lower faprofits. Total farm
production is expected to continue
at or near record level and this
means it will be between 35 and
40 percent above the pre-war le-
vel.
Profit opportunities for live-
stock look better than those for
crops, generally speaking, says
'Timm. The supply-demand ratio
for livestock is more favorable to
the producer. Yet, prices of live-
stock could drop more than those
of major crops since some current
livestock prices are considerably
above parity and for cattle, for
example, presently no government
support prices have been establish-
ed at any level. By comparison,
prices of commodities sujch as cot-
ton and grain sorghums are hover-
ing near the government support
prices.
Although incomes look good
again for *50, farms and ranchmen
should not lose sight of the fact
that American agriculture has nev-
er come ou,t winner from wartime
inflationary periods, says Timm. It
has been the; same story—after the
war of 1812, Civil War, World
War I and so far, after World
War II—the prices paid farmers
have gone down faster and lower
and stayed longer than the prices
for things the farmers had to
buy.

large attendance is expected to

Gealy, the Seminary Singers prom-

Routine Matters
Passed By Council
At Tuesday Meet
City Engineer E. C. Drumb was
authoribed to instruct the Texas
Power and Light company to in-
stall a street light at intersection
of Maple Row and Eighth Ave-
nue at Wednesday's council meet-
ing, when other matters of rou-
tine nature were disposed of.
A strip o£ land has been leas-
ed from Guiseppe Ciaccio north-
east of the city to be used as a
dumping ground, and the signed
lease was given Mr. Ciaccio, and
a check for the first month's rent.
The annual rent for the land was
set at $900.00. The contract in-
cludes certain regular services on
the part of Mr. Ciaccio at his own
cost. The new setup means a
saving to the city over the old
way of something over $1,700 the
year. ^
Parking meters are to be placed
in front of the former city lot in
the 200 block West Chestnut, and
on Rusk avenue beside the Citi-
zens National Bank which was
formerly reserved for the govern-
ment engineers. The planting of
the two meters on Rusk will be
delayed until the completion of
construction work on the bank
building.
Walter Lebrecht appeared be-
fore the council with $148.91 he
wanted to get rid of, he said. The
council voted to transfer the
fund, which was a balance left
over from 1931-32-33 taxes, to
the general fund. During the de-
pression of those years, Mr. Le-
brecht explained, Denison people
who wwanted to do so, were given
permission to work out their taxes
on street or city improvement
jobs. They were paid half their
salary in cash and the other half
to apply on their taxes. This un-
used fund was left over from that
project.
Mayor Requests
Christmas Safety
Rules Be Observed
Mayor Harry Glidden called up-
on the people of Denison this week
to do their part, along with the
National Safety Council and 160
other national cooperating organi-
zations, in holding down accidents
during the Christmastime holiday
celebration.
"Let's take our place in this
nation-wide holiday safety cam-
paign," the mayor said. "Nobody
can be safe for us—each one of us
has to be safe for himself! It Is
the individual's responsibility to
himself to recognize the extra,
holiday hazards and the extra
means to meet and overcome
them. It cannot be a merry
Christmas for Denison unless we
make certain it is an accident-
free celebration. Needless and
preventable accidents that mar
the holiday with suffering and
tragedy make a hollow mockery of
the Yuletide spirit. Let's all re-
member this and make it a person-
al responsibility to keep our city's
holiday spirit the safest on rec-
ord."
Property Owners
Protest Housing
Project Here
A meeting will be held in the
near future of the Local Federal
Housing Board and the Denison
Property Owners Association, it
was announced at Wednesday's
council meeting in the city hall.
Members of the Property Owners
Association, headed by Wilson
Waters, appeared before the coun-
cil to voice their unanimous pro-
test against the city's plans to
accept the federal appropriation
for the 200 low cost federal hous-
ing units here.
Joe Sullivan is chairman of the
Denison Housing Authority and
has announced that work on the
project is expected to begin im-
