guidance of Miss Ater that the

WINTER STAGES COMEBACK
In its final onslaught against
spring, old man winter estab-
lished a “beachhead” here Tues-
day. Straw hats, and other spring
attire went back in storage for
a while, making coats and sweat-
ers very much again in style.
Following on the heels of a
sultry day, Monday, misty, over-
cast skies, Tuesday, dropped
temperatures to an unseasonal
low, for this time of the year.

Car Fire Saturday
Does Small Damage
A fire which probably began
with a short in the engine of
Mrs. T. M. Hudgens’ Chevrolet
Saturday at 9 a.m., caused little
damage.
Mrs. Hudgens discovered the' Lions today, Thursday.
LIONS ELECT
OFFICERS
Election of officers was
main thing on the agenda

the

blaze when she started to church
and immediately reported it to the
fire department. However, by the
time a truck arrived, neighbors
had extinguished the small fire.
Spreader
Of course. And he comes by it naturally. For two of his greatest
heroes are John Deere men—Dad and Granddad.
That’s why your young one will take such pride in owning
and riding a John Deere Tractor-Cycle—the toy tractor that
looks just like the new John Deere Model “60”—that’s built
to take the punishment that young-
sters are bound to put it to.
That’s why your boy or girl will de-
light in the John Deere 'miniature
too—the tiny scale models
shown below that actually have
functional parts and that bring a note
of realism to the toyland farm.

jority of the membership given
an opportunity to do something
—no excess pile of work was
heaped upon the shoulders of
any individual. With everyone
working side-by-side in harmony
and unison—they went forth and
brought back outstanding re-
sults.
A few were skeptical about
the program in the beginning
when the services of the Nation-
al Fund Raising Company was
secured. Some thought it was
foolish to pay a man to come
here and handle the campaign.
Why not do it ourselves and
save the added expense? We
shall ever be grateful to Larry
Eddy, the fine Christian gentle-
man, who came oiir way to lead,
and direct us in the great under-
taking. Without his services, we
realize we could never have ac-
complished what seemed at first
to be an enormous and almost
impossible task.
Under the pastorship of James
E. Tidwell, more than 100 addi-
tions have been made to the
Methodist Church the past year,
and of course we must give
credit where credit is due. Un-
der his leadership the church
has grown by leaps and bounds
the past year with almost a
“full house” at all services.
.....O——
Prattler realizes many, many
readers of this newspaper are
not Methodists and we would
like to say liere and now we are
not puffed up or boastful—but
we think everyone in our com-
munity, regardless of church af-
filiation is happy to know, and
to learn of the great awakening
—since we are all working, and
striving for a common cause.
——o—
Have just finished a report to
the people by the Cooperative
for American Remittances to
Europe, Inc.—CARE. During the
past seven years, CARE has be-
come a symbol of American
good will to the people of many
lands. To each of the millions
of recipients of CARE gifts there
has come the assurance that
someone in America wants to
help others as friend to friend.
—o—
With the support of the Ameri-
can people, CARE has expanded
from Europe to many countries
in Asia, Africa and South Ame-
rica. It still brings food and
clothing to the hungry and rag-
ged, but it also bring tools and
plows and medical supplies and
technical knowledge—the things
that people need in order to help
themselves to a better future.
