.....aside from the fact that
few people are around who
remember the Armistice of
1918, Monday will be observed
as a holiday by only a few folks.
Some businesses will close, but
most will remain open.
November 11, which this year
falls on Sunday and will be
observed on Monday, was
changed a number of years ago
from Armistice Day to
Veterans Day, but the meaning
remained the same.
Observance, however, has not.
There was a time when the day
really meant something. It was
a day of recognition and
remembrance. Now, as is
usually the case on Memorial
Day, things go on as usual.
Veterans organizations will put
out flags, etc., but in many
cases flags won’t even fly on
public buildings. Someone once
said, time changes all things.
How true? How true? And how
soon we forget!

game in one form or another.
Television is changing all that.
We still enjoy a good game on
the tube, but we do tire of two
Saturday games, two Sunday
games, one Monday night; this
year, occasionally on Sunday
and Friday nights, or maybe
Thursday nights. Yeah, we
know, we can change channels.
The remaining fare isn’t much
better, though, especially on
weekends when you have your
choice of football, golf,
basketball, racquetball, auto
racing, etc., tiddledy winks,
etc. And we males fuss at the
women about their soap
operas. Listening to the crying
about the officiating, the
injuries and so on during some
of the athletic contests makes
the soaps seem tame. But they
pass the bill, so that’s what you
get on the tube. Enjoy it or not.

.....years ago a teacher asked
a classmate for a definition of
epitaph. His answer was “it’s a
graveyard stop sign,” which
earned him some afterschool
punishment for bringing down
the house with laughter. We’ve
thought about that definition
over the years, and have come
to agree that his might have
been an apt definition. There
are some strange ones.

.....in a Thurmont, Virginia,
cemetery one reads “Here lies
an athiest, All dressed up—and
no place to go.” And in Georgia
is one that says simply “I told
you I was sick”.

friends, there’s one in London:
“Beneath this stone old Abra-
ham lies; Nobody laughs,
nobody cries. Where he has
gone and how he fares. Nobody
knows and nobody cares.”

.....one more, then we’ll rest
(in peace?). Also from
England (we’d always heard
the Limeys had little sense of

my wife for 47 years, and this is

done to oblige me.”

.....a cartoon in the comics
recently put, in our opinion, the
ERA into proper perspective.
The young boy tells his friends,
“All the boys will vote for me—
there are more boys than girls,
so I’ll win the election easily.”
The little gal standing nearby
wallops him a couple good
ones, and the lad says, “I
oughta clobber you”. And the
gal answers: “Now,
remember, I’m a girl.
Gentlemen don’t hit ladies.”
’nuff said.

day of last week in the home of

Lanes Return From Vacation Trip
Mr. and Mrs J W T ana ________a __
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Lane
returned Tuesday from a two-
week vacation visiting relatives
and seeing the sights.
The Odem couple enjoyed
spending their first night away
in the home of her brother, Mr.
and Mrs. E. A. Cardwell of Ed-
na. The following afternoon, the
couple traveled to Houston,
where they were overnight
guests in the home of their
daughter, Mrs. Betty
Broughton. She accompanied
them the next afternoon to
Hillsboro, where they enjoyed
four days in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Oppel, Melanie
and Stephanie. Mr. and Mrs.
Sonny Cervenka of Corpus
Christi also visited Friday and
Saturday in the Oppel home.
The Lanes really enjoyed the
visit with their daughter, two
granddaughters and two great-
granddaughters and family.
Monday afternoon the Lanes
escorted Mrs. Broughton to
Love Field in Dallas where she
returned by plane to Houston.
The Odem travelers remain-
ed in the area, and spent two
nights in the home of her
brother, Mr. and Mrs. A. B.
Cardwell and family of Irving.
While there, they lunched with a
niece, Mrs. Ila Mae Fulton, in
her home. Mrs. Fulton guided
them through the Wax Museum,
which they found very in-
teresting.
The couple then went to Fort
Worth, to spend a couple of
nights in the home of his cousin,
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shetter.
Several of Mr. Lane’s cousins
from the Ft. Worth area
gathered in the Shetter home to
visit with the Odem guests. The
couple also attended the Shrine
Circus at the Will Rogers Col-
iseum.
Mr. and Mrs. Lane continued
their trip to Wichita Falls,
where they spent three nights in
the home of another cousin, Mr.
and Mrs. Hansome Malone. On
Sunday, the whole group went
to Rush Springs, Oklahoma, to
spend the day in the home of
two sisters of Mr. Malone and
their families. They returned to
Wichita Falls that evening.
The Lanes toured the area
where the tornado hit last year
in Wichita Falls. They report
that many homes are being
rebuilt, but the serious destruc-
tiveness of that storm was still

dale is visiting friends in Odem.
She is a guest in the homes of
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Whatley, Mr.

afternoon the Whatleys and
their guest attended the 40th an-
niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Tewes at Wesley Methodist
Church in Corpus Christi.
Mrs. Scull came to the Odem
community to attend the Con-
secration Service at the First

Small Turnout
At PTO Meeting
They report having had a
wonderful time visiting with
their many family and friends
along the journey.
A very small turnout of
parents attended the November
meeting of the Parents-
Teachers Organization, Tues-
day at 7:00 p.m. in the school
cafeteria.
Forrest Jones, club president,
presided over the meeting, and
once again presented the main
purposes of the PTO.
The PTO can build better
parent-teacher relationships
through their meetings and
special projects. Parents can
become more involved in the
school activities. A healthy, ac-
tive PTO can provide funds for
various school projects, which
are not ordinarily provided for
in the school budget,
automatically saving taxpayers
money.
Finally, the organization can
also provide parents with
legitimate complaints and
ideas, a chance to sound off,
therefore seeking answers and
solutions to those complaints.
All parents are urged to par-
ticipate in the PTO and attend
their onc^a-month meetings.
Winners of^the radios, the
prizes for selling the most pen
and pencil sets, were announc-,
ed at Tuesday’s meeting.
Fourth grade Lydia Garcia with
45 sets, and Joe DeLeon, 30 sets,.-’
were the lucky recipients.

Again this year Pioneer® brand seeds are delivering
outstanding yields in field after field. But we know it
takes more than one year's performance to tell the
whole story. Look at these results, then ask your Pio-
neer dealer to show you records from several years.
You'll see for yourself why Pioneer brand seeds have
become famous for their consistency.

In a grain sorghum variety comparison at
Odem, Stanley Webb reported a yield of
6,477 Ibs./A. with this hybrid. 8442 is hard
seeded and came in with a bushel weight of
60 lbs.
Bred to be a tough hybrid, 8442 is especially
adapted to "hot" soils. It scores high on root
development; on charcoal and fusarium stalk
rot tolerance, and has excellent tolerance to
downy mildew, head smut and anthracnose.
Well-known Mathis area farmer, Bobbie
Nedbalek, planted six Pioneer brand sorghum
hybrids for comparison on non-irrigated land.
8303 topped the yields with 4,964 Ibs./A.
Other hybrids performing well in this com-
parison were hard-seeded 8311 with a yield of
4,712 |bs. and 8199 with a yield of 4,619 and
test weight of 61 lbs.
8501 delivered an impressive yield of 5,781
Ibs./A plus a test weight of 61 lbs. for David
Wendland, at Taft, in a side-by-side com-
parison test with six other Pioneer brand
hybrids. Others in the test included 8311 with
a yield of 5,691 and bushel weight of 60 lbs.,
and 8324 yielding 5,607 lbs. with a 60-ib.
bushel weight.
