VOX PUPILIS
Should we or should we not
chew gum in school.
. I think if a person wants to
chew gum in school they should
be allowed to do so. Gum will
not hurt anyone. In fact, it is
good for the jaws; they get more
exercise. I know some people
^that can't work as well without
'gum as they can with it. If they
can't get gum to chew on, they
chew on strings or some such
things. I think they should be
allowed to chew gum.—Bobbie
4Jane Banks.
' I dissapprove of children chew-
ing gum in school for these rea-
sons: Their minds do not function
as they should if chewing gum.
Another thing, it does not look
i nice to see a student's mouth fly
up every second and pop his gum.
i.This annoys other students: Per-
Long, Lynn Marie Marshall, Lela
Alice Damon, Mary Dean Wat-
kins, Dunning Roye, George Gul-
ledge, John Claiborne Williams,
Billy Aufricht and the hostess.
Week-End Party
The G. U. M. gang had a week-
end party at Pine Crest, Jackson-
ville country club. Miss March
and Mrs. Lester acted as chaper-
ons.
Those present were: Ethel Long,
Betty, Arrant, Gladys Nelson,
Frances Lovelace, Frances Pryor,
Madalene Russell, and Jerry Pea-
cock of Jacksonville.
Slumber Party
Olive Bea Meredith entertained
the G. A. R. gang with a slumber
party Saturday evening. All met
at the show and then went to
Olive Bea's home where they
danced until ?.
Those present were: Helen Mc-
Cord, June Odom, Sylvia, Bane,
Rose and Mildred Hall, Joyce
Ginn, Margaret York, and the
hostess, Olive Bea. Everyone
agreed that Olive Bea is a good
entertainer.

grown so popular that almost all
schools enter teams, and have stu-

NEWSFROM
BUS NO. 1
The bus route is in pretty good
shape this week.
The bus started making the
complete route on Wednesday and
has continued this from then up
to now. The driver believed that
he could have made the route
earlier but he didn't want to hurt
the bus. The bus is now running
on schedule and the route is be-
ing worked on more all the time
so that if it begins to rain again
the bus will be able to run all
right.
GUESS WHO?
She is a brunette and has blue
eyes. She is a very charming per-
son and has always a smile for
everybody. She doesn't drive a
car to school, but is very popular
with the G. U. M. gang. She is
very neat in her clothes and wears
white and blue mostly all the
time. Whenever you see her
though she is usually in a hurry.
Who is she?
The answer to last week's
Guess Who was Markel Byrd.
CROSSPATCH
It seems that Francis Monroe
is beating Mildred Cook's time.
Louise Jared says she had a lot
of bad luck Friday night, but
also had a good time.
We wonder if Boyd didn't go to
see Ethel Sunday afternoon. Did
he Ethel?
We wonder how many of the
G. U. M. gang got a box of candy
St. Valentine Day.
Rose Mildred and Billy's love is
everlasting. So they say.
We wonder if Edith Lang and
Odell Muskgraves are still that
way. They were seen together
last Thursday night.
We wonder how many Valen-
tines James Comer sent to his girl.
We wonder where Louise Luns-
fcrd and Irene Cooke went Sun-
day afternoon.
WHY?
Two certain peoples faces were
red when Jiggs turned the car
lights on the swing Friday night.
It took Edwin, Boyd and John
three hours to drive about 8 miles.
Gladys wanted to go to Wells
Saturday night.
Certain boys did not want to
leave Peacock's Lodge Friday
night. Could it be the girls?
We wonder if it is Markrel, El-
mer Ray, or. Cornell? Ask Louise
Derrick.
It seems that Ethel trifled on
"Speed" Friday night. Could it
be Johnny. (Her old flame.)
WE WONDER
Why Ruby Ethel didn't invite
any more to her party. Could
it because she was afraid some
other girl would get Dunning.
If the seventh period history
students are learning anything.
How certain gossip was Mon-
day.
What kind of Valentine Louise
Jared received.
Why certain students said they
didn't have a good time at a party
Saturday night.
If Charles has ever gotten Essie
for his very own.
Why Maudelia and Lynn Marie
act as if they had broken up.
If Helen misses Dugan much.
If Morris knows that Charles
if after Essie.
If Mrs. Joplin has put any more
red polish on her finger nails.
If Cornell and Louise have
made up yet.
What the fortune teller told
Louise Jared and some other pu-
pils.
If many students are receiving
pictures of othes these days.
Why June wasn't at school
j Monday.
Why John Boyd was so tired
j Monday.
I If Lela Bell misses Biilie much
since he has moved to Arp.
Why Rose Mildred is sorry be-
cause Dugan has the flu.

SIDELINE
SCANDAL
To begin with I would like to
commend Boyd and Markrel for
setting an example and carrying
Frances and Ethel to church Sun-
day night. Its a shame that some
boys will not have a date and take
their girl to church. Ethel says
the only reason she is taking
Home Economics is so that she
can make Markrel a good home.-
Can you take a hint Markrel?
Madaline is also taking Home
Economics. Now we wonder why.
There seems to be a little misun-
derstanding between Herman and
a certain girl in Dialville. We
hear that Wyatt doesn't pay his
restraurant bills.—Does he charge
them to the kind looking gentle-
man at the next table. The mys-
tery of the week.—Who gave
Louise Jarred a beautiful basket
of flowers for Valentine. We
wonder. It seems that some one
does not want his or her name in
this column. Last week before
going to press someone found this
column and cut part of it out.—
Afraid?. The Great Lover and
Princess Cinderella are still that
way (much to several boys dis-
appointment). Why is it that
very few girls received Valentines
this year, aren't the boys in love
these days. Louise Jarred says a
certain fortune teller scared her.
Edwin seems to be a bigger
chump every day—haven't you
learned your lesson Edwin? Flash,
Flash, Hot tip number two. The
girls say the boys better turn on
the charm also or they won't care
whether you go out of town for a
date or not. This seems like a two-
sided affair. Don't say we didn't
tell you.

I Mr. Miller and Mr. Meyer of
the United States Department of
Agriculture with the Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quaran-
tine gave an illustrative lecture on
the proper control of screw worm
for the benefit of the Vocational
Agriculture classes and science
department. These men pointed
out the advantages of Benzol
over the other commonly used
remedies for the treatment of
screw worm infections.
Some of the main points that
were recommenlded in the pre-
vention of screw worm were:
Prevent injuries by (1), Primary
screw worms breed only in the
wounds of living animals. When
wounds become old, secondary
screw worms or ordinary blow-
fly maggots may feed on the dead
tissues. Watch all livestock for
injuries and infections. (2.) Dur-
ing winter and early spring,
brand, mark, castrate, dehorn and
dock animals. Docking, dehorn-
ing and castrating should be done
while the animals are young. (3.)
When necessary to castrate during
the summer months, apply a thin,
even coat of dehydrated pine tar
oil (specific gravity 1.065) to all
wounds every day or two until
healed. Use pincer-type emascu-
lators on young animals and
scrubs except hogs and horses.
(4.) Have young born bofore
screw worm appears. During
screw worm seasons apply pine
tar oil thinly about base of navels
of young animals. (5.) Eliminate
nails, projecting boards, snags
and "catch" dogs. (6.) Shear
carefully, then apply pine tar oil
thinly to cuts every day or two
until healed. (7.) Look for the
Gulf Coast ticks deep in the in-
ternal ears. Swab light appli-
' cations of pine tar oil at intervals
| of two weeks.
The points that were recom-
mended to treat cases were: (1.)
Swab the wound with cotton to
'remove pus, blood and blood
serum. Spray benzol (commer-
, cial 90 per cent) into wound with
rubber bulb syring to stop flow
of serum and blood. Add more
benzol and plug the oper.ir-g of
the wound with cotton. The ex-
cess benzol is absorbed by the
cotton and fumes are confined to
j the capity of the wound. The
fumes of benzol kill screw worms
when they are breathed by the
worms. Do not remove worms or
cotton as they will drop out nat-
urally. Cover the cotton plug and
wound with pine tar oil to keep
flies away and to aid healing. Thin
applications of pine tar oil should
be made to the wounds every day
or two until healingt akes place.
(2.) Mistreatments with coal tar,
creosote and strong stock dips de-
lay the healing and cause large
wounds which furnish breeding
places for screw worms for a long
time (3.) Proper teratments kill
screw worms with out injuring
the wounds. (4.) When wounds
are difficult to treat, or where
they occur in valuable animals,
the services of a competent vet-
erinarian should be secured. (5.)
Provide (a) a screened house for
large numbers of sheeps, goats
or hogs, (b) chutes for handling
animals, and (c) a small holding
pasture. Examine animals ship-
ped from localities where screw
worms occur and treat injuries
to prevent spred of the pest.
