Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
Creomulsion relieves promptly be-
cause it goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel
germ laden phlegm, and aid nature
to soothe and heal raw, tender, in-
flamed bronchial mucous mem-
branes. Tell your druggist to sell you
a bottle of Creomulsion with the un-
derstanding you must like the way it
quickly allays the cough or you are
to have your money back.

Commercial Club j
Is Organized
A Commercial Club sponsored
by Mrs. Brewer has been organi-
zed, to fulfill the duties of Com-
mercial Clubs around Paducah
High. The first successful meet-
ing was held December 19. The
Club was well organized and the
officers elected were: President,
Glen Rhea Becker; Vice-Presi-
dent, “Doc” Harrison; Secretary,
La Wanda Moss, and yours truly,
Johnye Davis as reporter.
Those eligible for membership
are students of business arith-
metic book-keeping, shorthand
and typing.
Future plans have already be-
gun to form. A page of our an-
nual is to be given to this or-
ganization and a big party will
be held soon.
FASHIONS
During all this snowy weather
everyone has donned their levis
and plaid shirts, or wool skirts
and sweaters.
Mrs. Brewer again this week
sports a beautiful gold suit topped
off with a lovely purple blouse.
These tobaggon caps the boys
are wearing are super for Jan.
Such as Don Gibb’s, James Mar-
tin’s and Jay Swim’s.
Doris Ann—brown striped dress
lo'ng sleeves, Mustard colored
sleeveless jacket.
Loretta Hopkins—Black velve-
teen two-piece dress—white lace
collar.
Billy Joe, you really didn’t
mean to stick the car Saturday
night, did you? It was some one
else’s fault wasn’t it?
Glenna we haven’t seen your
Childress man in some time.
Where is he?

Campus Chatter
I Did you notice twenty-two in-
nocent faces in study hall at noon
on Friday and Monday? And it
seems that they all made sure
to get there on time!
Many of the Seniors are be-
ginning to apply for rooms at
College—only one more semester
and they’ll be leaving.
Thank goodness, the KaSus
pledges have finished their pledg-
ing. Everyone is tired of looking
at dolls and running into whirl-
ing pledges between classes.
Did Rudy really expect to get
rewarded for the gum he gave
Freida? Evidently he didn’t.
Jay Swint received a myster-
ious long distance telephone call
Monday night from some strange
person who, evidently, had for-
gotten her name.
Maurice, how does it feel to
be rolled in the snow?
Have you noticed a different
gleam in Ima Dean's eyes lately?
Don L. is home you know.
Are the six certain Soph gals
glad there are no more corners
to square and no dolls?
Dot since “Hoss” went to the
Navy you’ve been inheriting
things haven’t you? A Jacket
and a notebook.
Corky Winton, you- made the
wrong decision if you ask me.
Why were the Sophmore gals
so tickled in the cafeteria last
week? Dorothy and her “night
time stories”.
Travis don’t be so blue about
the banquet deal, there are ex-
ec ntions to every rule.
We’re glad to see Shirley with
her Matador man again—Good
luck, Coleman. He’s cute!
Irma did you do the right
thing Saturday night? Flash isn’t
two mad. It looks like the quiz
kid Alfred is after Lou Jean
again.
Mildred, when are you going
to make up your mind? It’s three
now!
Nora and Earl are a steady
twosome around P. H. S. now.
Good!
Jay Rae and Junior Evers are
still makin’ it fine!
The “22 Club” or “H. P. U.”
is very popular these days. What
no Sophmores in it! Well!!
Why did Dot and Shirley
scream when they said all addi-
tions to the “22 Club” would be
pledged in.
Too, bad, there were no girls
at the party Friday night. I guess
A FILIPINO girl smiles hergrati-
A. tude for the new dress she re-
ceived from the Americans' spring
clothing drive. Help her countrymen

Wimberly To Take
Application To
Finance ’46 Crops
Loans ara now being made
to finance 1946 crop production
in Cottle County, according to
Marvin P. Bryan, local Field Su-
pervisor for the Dallas Emer-
gency Crop Loan Office of the
Farm • Credit Administration.
Applications for these loans
are being taken in Paducah, on
the second floor of courthouse by
W. F. Wimberly. The security re-
quired is a first lien, on the
crops to be financed. The loans
are available only to those far-
mers unable to secure loans from
banks or other sources.
These loans, generally known
as “The Seed Loans”, have been
made in Texas since 1931 and
have proven of great benefit to
farmers whose cash requirements
are small. Repayment of the
loans has been high. Borrowers
are required to plant large gar-
dens for home use and a balanced
program of feed, food and cash
crops is encouraged.
A loan to finance the purchase
or production of feed is also
made on livestock by this Agency.
The maximum loan to an indi-
vidual is $400.00.
The seed and feed loans are
administered in Texas under the
direction of W. E. Farwell, man-
ager of the Emergency Crop and
Feed Loan Office, 405 U. S.
Terminal Annex Building, Dallas
2, Texas.
HOW TO SAVE MONEY
ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL
by
Phineas Q. Twitch, Eminent Economist
Dot and Tommie enjoyed their
selves though.
Martha Anne we’re gird to see
you back in school, too bad Vel-
ma Lee has the mumps now.
Nelson Biddy has made the
request that his name be put
in the West Wind—so here it is
NELSON BIDDY!!
Well, we haven’t seen any
senior boys’ rings wandering
around from fair hand to hand
but just wait, they will. The boys
want to wear the new off them-
selves.
The sophmore girls look more
like themselves this week with
the Ka Sus pledging ended. Girls
hard job, well done!!!
This week is dead week—we
are all taking our mid-term tests.
Here’s hoping we come out alive!
“Jo” Grayham and John Lee
Clary are still going steady! Wan-
der what’s cooking?
From all we can gather the
annuals running smoothly. We
are all anxious to see it!
Miss Roberts how did you like
keeping P. E. class Monday after-
noon??
Alan didn’t have much of a
chance on his speech with al-
most everyone against him.
Tough luck Floydada had to
beat us in basketball too, Isn’t
it?
We are all very sorry to see
Mrs. Alan leaving Paducah High
School.

Hi

Dr. Twitch
Disconnect your electric door-bell. What if your friends and neighbors do
bruise their knuckles knocking! You’ll save a penny a month. Naturally,
a penny saved is a penny earned. In only eleven years (at compound inter-
est) you’ll earn enough to buy another door-bell for the back door so you
can save TWICE as much by not using it!
Sell your vacuum cleaner and beat your rugs by hand. The money you
get for your old machine will buy several sturdy beaters and an ample
supply of liniment. Then, every time you beat ten large rugs, you’ll save
a whole penny.
You can easily do ten rugs in a couple of days, after you get used to it.
The exercise will build you up, even if it does break down the rugs. And
the more you beat ’em the more you save!
Turn off your radio during “The Electric Hour” on Sunday afternoon.
Of course, you’ll miss Nelson Eddy and his guest stars and Robert Arm-
bruster’s Orchestra, but you’ll save a sixth of a penny every time you do it.
In a year, that’s nearly 9c. And there’s no music so pleasant as those coppers
clinking in your pocket!

... the gang gets together at the “Y”
Boys and girls together make fun a sure-fire bet. And you can always
count on one friend of all of them being on hand—ice-cold Coca-Cola.
In the lingo of youth, Have a Co\e is the greeting that says You're
one of the crowd. It's a standing invitation to have a good time and
enjoy the friendly pause.
