During the Gipsy Smith's revival
at Amarillo, it was necessary for
those wishing choice seats on the
lower floor to go into the Munici-
pal auditorium about TWO HOURS
before the Gipsy began his sermon.
Those who went in two hours be-
fore the sermon, could read their
Bibles, newspapers or converse
with friends near them. This editor
and party always arrived two hours
before the sermon began and sel-
km dM*y and finally go as
Rome went. This shrewd gentle-
man's next question was: "What
Is money?" Reply: "Money is a
medium of exchange or the mea-
sure of values. And all money is
valueless, not worth a tinker's dam,
unless used as a medium of ex-
change or measure of values. It
Is made worth 100 cents on the
dollar by FIAT of this Government
then It's exchanged for commodi-
ties and other things of value,
where the party wants this money,
knowing he can buy something
else of value with the money he
receives, although knowing that
the money cannot be eat and can-
not be worn, therefore, is WORTH-
LESS without being a medium of
exchange or a measure of values."
His next question was :"Do you
telieve in FIAT MONEY." Reply:
"There is no other kind cf money
being put out and never will be.
FIAT MONEY, means the Govern,
ment decree, declaring a one-dol
lar bill or a ten-dollar bill is
worth one dollar or worth ten
dollars, payable for debts public
and private." He asked: "Don't
money have a backing to make it
worth 100 cents on the dollar."
Reply, "Yes. but not gold for
money Is not backed by gold ac-
cording to the ruling of the Sup
reme Courts of the UNITED STA-
TES. It is backed by the FIAT OF
THE GOVERNMENT, backed by
the products, resources, and other
wealth produces in this nation.
That nation that produces the
most of lffc's necessities is tne
real wealthy nation. Gold and
Silver are metals but very little
value attached until the U. S.
makes them into MONEY, the me-
dium of exchange or measure of
values." He further stated, "Don't
money have to be redeemed." Re-
ply, "Yes, it may be redeemed in
TAXES, REVENUES, and other
ways the Government may wish
to redeem it, or want to draw in
a part of the circulating medium
in order that there is not too
much money in circulation, and
same be made too cheap. Neither
would we want to see so much
money taken out of circulation
that ONLY ONE DOLLAR would
buy FOUR DOLLARS worth of
goods, as it was during the height
of the PANNIC."

BAPTIST LADIES ENTERTAIN
Last Tuesday the Baptist Ladies

"Alright," he answered, "then you,

NORTH ARMSTRONG CLUB
Mrs. R. E. Boone was hostess to
the members of the North Arm-
strong Club on Thursday, Jan. 13
The new club officers for 1938
were installed at this time by Mrs.
Val Laycock. In the course of
carrying out an original ceremony,
she likened the club to a wheel,
in which each spoke was vitally
necessary to the efficient function-
ing of the whole wheel. Just so
each member of a club must faith-
fully do her part to make perfect
the performance of the whole or-
ganization. In the charge to the
officers, she pointed out that not
only do some women do better
work in a club as members, but
likewise, there are those who serve
better as officers than as members.
Following the charge and response
by the officers, the ceremony was
closed by repeating the club pray-
er. The new officers are as follows:
President—Mrs. Mai Kight.
Vice-Pres.—Mrs. L. D. Wiegman.
Sec.-Treas — Mrs. Roy Wiegman.
Reporter—Mrs. Gerald Posey.
The 1937 and 1938 program com-
mittees presented the new Year
Books at this meeting, with more
than a little pride in their work-
manship. Not only are the pro-
grams all original, by various mem-
bers, but also the covers, both in
design and creation. Mrs. Frank
Bishop designed the cover, on
which she used the oak leaf and
acorn as motifs. They denote pro-
gress and are especially symbolic
since the book is dedicated to "The
Pioneers of the Plains," and the
club motto is "Make the Best
Better." One program of which the
Club Is especially proud Is dedicat-
ed to "Our Club Mother," Mrs.
Phcbe K. Warner, and Is printed
on a black bordered page, under-
neath a picture of Mrs. Warner.
If enthusiasm, cooperation and
good fellowship indicate anything
the new club year promises to be
a successful one for North Arm-
strong.
The following members and visi-
tors enjoyed a delicious refresh
ment plate: Mesdames, Barrett,
Bishop. Bledsoe, Harrison, Judy,
Kight, Posey, R. A. Campbell,
Gooch, L. D. Wiegman, Roy Wieg-
man, Sowder and Smith. Visitors
were Mesdames, Scott Laycock and
Val Laycock and Bobby Jane.
• Patrol Meetings
Reports come in that the patrol
leaders held good patrol meetings
last week and we are wondering if
the same happened this week. The
boys are picking up speed at every
section which indicates even a
better troop than last year. The
Junior staff is responsible for this
because they are really putting on
the steam. Wonder what happened
to those two boys that were absent
at last scout meeting. Look them
up fellows and drag they out by
the ears next Tuesday night.

Ibis appearance at Panhandle will

The high development which the

down when they come around, and

An Editorial
What has became of the patrio-
tism that used to be shown for
(he flag of the United States? In
the early days when the nation
was young "Old Glory" was a
rr.lutcd and highly respected em-
blem. but today it Is somewhat for-
gotten by America and the citizens.
Those dependencies which look
to America for protection and our
possessions, have a very deep res-
pect for the flag.
In the little country -of Hawaii
school children spend about thirty
minutes every morning, before re-
suming their lessons, in singing
praises to our flag and pledging
allegiance to it.
The flag seldom waves over our
Junior Class
Presents Program
The first of the programs in the
new series of class and club pro-
grams that will provide entertain-
ment for Claude High School dur-
ing the next semester was pre-
sented by the Junior Class Wed-
nesday.
The program was musical in na-
ture. Performers who won special
acclaim were the members of the
Junior Sextette (Kathryn Doak,
Janice Bagwell, Pauline Dodge,
Mary Jane Kerr, Norene McMurry,
and Margaret Sewell), Oleta Cobb,
Pat Bagwell, Grady Tyler, Jno.
Chauveaux and other o.
Football sweaters were awarded
formally to a list of boys Which
has previously appeared In these ] doors,
columns. The tardy awarding of
these sweaters was due to a ruling
by the Interscholastic League Con-
ference to the effect that the first
semester's work must be passed
before the award be made.
Singing by the assembly, led by
Grady and Oleta was enjoyed by
all.

Schedule
Change Noted
At the end of the semester it Is
quite frequent that many changes
are made in the schedule. However,
only minor changes are to be not-
ed at this time. Chief among these
changes Is the moving of Texas
History from Its scheduled place
in the eighth period to the second
period. The typing class that was
held at the second period was
placed In the eighth period and
an innovation in the way of cours-
es was instigated in the business
department. This Innovation was
the opening of a non-credit typing
class to ambitious Sophomores
More than could be accomodated
promptly applied I
It is to be expected that this
year's Texas History Class will
equal Mr. Douglass' famous Cen-
tennial Class of year before last.

Continuing a safety survey, your
reporter turns her eyes to the bus
drivers. Although the busies are
not of steel, they are equipped
with all kinds of safety devices.
There is a door in the rear cf the

or fire and fire extinguishers are
In all the busses. The bus drivers
not only are safe drivers, but they
also go off their regular route on
cold mornings to get the children.
It is fortunate indeed io hn\o
these competent men to take over

CHS
DEFACING PUBLIC BUILDINGS
The laws of the State of Texas
provide penalties for unrefined
youths who deface school property
or buildings. Unsightly chalk draw-
ings and'disfigurements upon desks
and walls of the school are nol
made by self-respecting students.
This building lias been erected and
equipped at a large cost and be-
longs to the public. Since you are
using it only tem^ irarily, you
should take pride in keeping botli
building and campus as neat and
clean as you possibly can.
There is a tradition in CHS that
each class has a certain room for
Us meetings. Room Six, Seniors:
Room Eight, Juniors; Room four,
school and is usually tacked 1 sophomores; Room Seven, Fresh -
tlie walls or thrown carelessly In men M shouid be a part of the
gulatlons. These are ma Joy items severe'y punished. That

was given such treatment by citi-
zens in sonic of the American pos-
sessions, the citizens would be
is how
in the budget of the average fain
ily. If the farmer's prices are re-
duced 50% of parity prices, these
fixed charges are doubled with
what the farmer has to pay with.
The same is true of the wage-
earner. Certain big business groups
are taking advantage of the pre-
sent recession to try to convince
the Administration In power that
they, the manufacturers, should be
allowed an exemption from the
anti-trust laws. In order that they
may fix prices that will give labor
a fair wage and themselves a fair
profit. Such a move, if adopted,
would merely add other groups to
the already special privileged class.
Paper Box Cars
Box cars are needed to convey
production to the ultimate con-
sumers. Money Is Just as necessary
to complete the transaction be-
tween the producer and the con-
sumer as box cars. Therefore,
paper money Is paper box cars,
because It conveys production to
the consumer. For some time I
have been insisting that the Ad-|
class activities to see that ea< li
room appears as neat and tidy as
possible throughout the year. In-
expensive decorations should be put
up at the beginning of each year.
Tliey may be left or disposed of
much they love the flag.
If respect is not shown for the aj pleasure of the cla ;s.
flag by the citizens of the United
States, the nation should not ex-
pect it to be respected highly by
other countries.
Doubtless there are pupils In this
school as well as in many other
schools, who do not even know how
to salute a flag or care for it In
the right manner
May, In the near future, the flag
be seen waving in the breeze and
perhaps the students of the school
will take it upon themselves to
learn something about our flag.—

WHAT CHS NEEDS!!

An enclosed, lighted athletic
field, berause night games are bet-
ter attended and do not Interfere
with school work to the extent that
evening games do.
A debate, team, because much cf
the training for forenslcs Is from

A boy's glee club, because CHS
has talent in the form of hearty
masculine voices.

Mother's Club
Installs Officers
At the Mother's Club meeting
Friday, January 14, the new of-
ficers of the school year 1933 were
installed. The new officers are:
Mr. J. T. Morris—President,
Mrs. Claude Renfro- Vice-Prcs.
Mrs. Fred Lowry—Sec.-Treas.
Miss Janet Parker -Reporter.
A very interesting program un-
der Miss Scott's direction was pre-
sented to the club by the members _
of the 7th grade and part of the
Sth and 5th grades. The theme of
their program was the origin of
cowboy songs, taken especially
from the Panhandle area cf Texas.
Mrs. Forrest Doshier discussed
"Our National Parks." The con-
servation movement toward flowers,
birds, trees, and animals in the
parks was stressed as well as the
importance of conserving and ap-
preciating them in our community
During the past year the Moth-
er's Club lias sponsored many in-
teresting programs for the com-
munity which have provided neces-
sary equipment for the grade
school. Among the programs spon-
sered by the Club was the Stamps
Texas Trio which will be at the
School Auditorium again to-night.
In the following months we wisu
to urge all the parents interested
in the grade school to be present
at the meetings. Watch for an an-
nouncement of the next meeting.
