ROTARIANISM
IS DISCUSSED
AT ABC CLUB
Clarence Smith, Lonnie Walker
and Charlie Johnson of the
Childress Rotary Club were pres-
ent at the ABC Club’s Wednes-
day noon session in response to
an invitation from the local or-
ganization to give informative
talks on the purpose of Rotary,
its organization, etc.
Smith, the principal speaker
for the group, brought out the
fact that although it was not
the policy of Rotary to solicit
members,, the opportunity to
supply information about the
organization was appreciated.
According to Smith, Rotary was
started by Paul Harris, a young
Chicago attorney in 1905 for the
purpose of getting acquainted
with . other business men. The
name “Rotary” was acquired due
to the weekly rotation of meet-
ing places in the business places
of members.
The second club was organized
in San Francisco in 1907, and
since that time 7,074 clubs have
been organized in 80 countries
all over the world, with exception
of the iron curtain countries.
The Rotary’s motto is: “Service
Above Self”. The organization
affords an opportunity to serve
society, promotes a better un-
derstanding among businessmen
of the town, county, state, na-
tion and world, as well as pro-
vides fellowship.
A comparatively large attend-
ance was noted at the meet-
ing. Other guests present were
John Thornbury of the John
Deere Plow Company in Quanah,
a guest of V. L. Hutchison, and
M. C. King, a guest of Afton
Willingham.

Demonstration
Held Last Thurs.
A mesquite control demon-
stration Was held at the B. L.
Smith place, eight miles from
Paducah on the Crowell high-
way Thursday. County Agent
G. J. Lane assisted by A. H.
Walker, range specialist, Texas

.02 cents per tree. The trunks
were sprayed on .2 of an acre
at a cost of 2.2 cents per tree.
Spraying the stumps on .2 of
an acre cost 1.5 cents per tree.
The remainder of the area was
left untouched as a test plot.
“We’re in hopes that folks
are interested in this work,”

weeks will be required for the
leaves to show the effect of
the poison.”

COUNTY WHEAT
CROP BEGINS
TO MOVE
With “open weather” preval-
ent the past several days, Cot-
tle County’s wheat crop began
to “move out” this week. A
check with local elevators, re-
vealed eleven car loads of wheat
had been shipped todate.
If continued sunshiny weather
prevails, the harvest will be in
full swing within the next few
days.
The 70/100 of an inch of rain
which fell here last Thursday
night, halted harvesting for
several days and caused many
farmers to have to replant cot-
ton.
SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE
COMPLETE RECOVERY
Arlie Swint, who is suffering
from a broken knee cap, re-
ported he would probably be
able to get up and around some,
in about five days. Three
months will be required for
complete recovery his physician
said.
The accident occurred Monday,
May 15 when Swint slipped
and fell on a wet curb in front
of N'ewsom Drug.

LARGE CROWDS
ATTEND CITY-
WIDE REVIVAL
The Crimm Revival Campaign,
which opened here last Sunday
night at the “big brown tent”,
located just south of the Post
Office, Crowell Highway, is in
full swing. Many visitors from
the local churches and churches
from out-of-town places have
been present to hear this noted
“Cowboy” Evangelist from
Texas. The crowds are increas-
ing from night to night and
interest is deepening. They say,
‘Crimm is different’. Hear him
and you will agree he preaches
the real gospel, the old-time
heartfelt religion of our fathers
and mothers.
Tonight at 8 p.m., the Evan-
gelist will speak on “The Four
Human Elements That Enter
Into a Successful Revival.” In
this sermon he will tell the
story of his conversion. He ran
away from home at the age of
thirteen and became a cow
puncher. His mother, who hadn’t
seen him for five years, prayed
him home, and it was at this
time that God saved him, and
he was later called to preach.
On Friday night, he will speak
on “The Baptism of the Holy
Ghost, Is There Such a Thing?”
He will continue that message
on Saturday night, telling “Why
Receive It and How Receive It.”
Sunday morning there will be
no service in the tent. In the
afternoon at 3:00 p.m., he will
preach on “The Lord’s Return
for the Church,” a great mes-
sage on the fulfillment of pro-
phecy. Sunday evening, a large
crowd is expected to hear his
message on “The Cause and the
Remedy of Our Present World
Unrest.”
Next Tuesday night, June 6,
the “Cowboy” preacher, who is
widely known throughout the
country, will celebrate his 37th
anniversary of tent revivals.
There will be many coming
from all parts of the state to
help him in this big celebra-
tion. He is inviting all of his
friends and the people, especial-
ly, of this community to be
present in this service. In these
37 years he has worked in 37
different states, has seen over
130,000 people saved and has the
names and addresses of 525 per-
sons who are now preaching
the gospel who were converted
under his ministry.
Music and singing is being
furnished by Prof, and Mrs. L.
C. Messer, well-known gospel
singers, and musicians from
Memphis, Tennessee. Mr. Messer
is in charge of directing the
singing of the two choirs and
congregation with Mrs. Messer
assisting at the piano.

BORENS BACK
FROM HOSPITAL
AT STAMFORD
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Boren,
whose December 24 automobile
accident brought a catastrophic
close to a Christmas holiday trip,
returned here Sunday from
Stamford. They had been in
the hospital 155 days receiving
treatment in that city since that
fateful date.
Boren says he is “feeling
fine.’ Althoguh still a bit “un-
der the weather”, he is able to
get around and visit down
town with the aid of braces and
crutches.
Mrs. Boren has returned to
Stamford to undergo a bone
graft operation on her arm. She
will probably return in about
a week.
While he will have to wear
braces for a while, Boren hopes
to discard them soon. The
crutches will go later. He broke
both legs and lost one eye in
the accident. Mrs. Boren received
four broken ribs and her right
arm and left leg were fractured.
C. C. Prude

tended their final training ses-
sion conducted by Eugene
Vaughn, District Scout Execu-
tive from Vernon.
Registry of the twenty or
more boys already coming out
will be completed Monday night.

is being organized. Although
its sponsorship is still uncer-
tain, the nucleus of a troop
committee has been formed by
Dr. Thomas B. Smith, T. J. Rich-
ards and Bobby Stewart.
Plans have been made by
Barron Jones and Doyl Cain to
attend the Scout training camp
at Wichita Falls next week.

V.F.W. sponsored troop should
meet at the Boy Scout Hut next

J. W. Murtishaw
Named Community
OIIC Chairman
Mr. J. W. Murtishaw has been
named 1950 Chairman of the Oil
Industry Information Committee
for the Paducah area according
to a recent announcement by
Don Greve, OIIC Chairman for
the Plains area and Assistant
Sales Manager of The Sham-
rock Oil and Gas Corporation.
Mr. Murtishaw is associated
with the Gulf Oil Company here.
As OIIC Chairman in his com-
munity, he will assume the
leadership in his area of in-
forming his friends and neigh-
bors about the Oil Industry and
its importance to the commu-
nity.
Jean Swint of San Antonio is
visiting her mother, Mrs. Fred
Swint here this week.
Motorists are urged to take
note—and to abide by the new
yellow marks painted around
the business district. These
markers indicate the angle and
space in which motorists should
park their vehicles. By abiding
by the markers, more room will
be available for other motorists
to park their cars, and of course
another advantage—less bent
fenders.
Posies to the Paducah Lions
club for the very fine job of
sponsoring and presenting the
conservation field day tour re-
cently. The large number of
farmers, ranchers and business
men making the trip revealed
residents here are vitally inter-
ested in 1‘saving the soil”. Some
criticism has come our way that
we have hammered on soil con-
servation too much, but in Prat-
tler’s way of thinking there just
can't be too much thinking,
talking and practicing soil con-
servation.
Patrick Henry Bennett, Jr., who
is a Journalism major at Texas
Tech, has been added to the Post
staff. Pat’s main duties will be
to take care of “sports”, but of
course will cover any, and all
assignments when needed. Just
another case of the Post striv-
ing to give the best in all-
around coverage.

It appears Paducah’s No. 1
headache, the housing problem
is going to be solved. Recently
H. A. Lee’s 44 housing unit FHA
project, located on a ten-acre
tract, two blocks north of the
High School was approved and
then a few days ago the Padu-
cah Housing Authority was or-
ganized for the purpose of
building, low-cost rent houses
in Paducah with the aid of the
Federal Government.
“Save for Your Independence”
—Buy U. S. Savings Bonds”—
that is the slogan for the Inde-
pendence Bond drive, now under-
way. The Cottle-King quota is
$26,000.00. The drive will con-
tinue through July 4—Have you
bought your saving bonds?
To help American families
solve their many problems the
United States Government is
currently issuing at least one
pamphlet showing people how
to keep household spending
within the bounds of family in-
come. But here is what the
Council of States Chambers of
Commerce finds Uncle Sam is
doing in his own Federal house-
hold:—
The Federal Government will
spend about 5% billion more
this year than the 36% billion
it will collect in revenues. It
is expected to do substantially
the same thing in 1951. In only
two years out of the last 20 (in
1947 and 1948) has the Federal
Government balanced its budget
by living within its income. In
that time the public debt has
risen from $17 billion to $258
billion.
—o—
To return to a balanced bud-
get, the Council finds the Fed-
eral Government may do one
of two things:—either increase
taxes or reduce spending. But
taxes of one kind or another
are already taking more than
a quarter of the people’s in-
come.
—o—
When Mark Twain, in his
early days, was editor of a
Missouri paper, a superstitious
subscriber wrote him saying
that he had found a spider in
his paper, and asking him
whether that was a sign of
good luck or bad. The humor-
ist wrote him this answer and
printed it:—“Old Subscriber:
Finding a spider in your paper
was neither good nor bad luck
for you. The spider was merely
looking over our paper to See
which merchant is not advertis-
ing, so that he can go to that
store, spin web across the door
and lead a life of undisturbed
peace ever afterward.”
