THE OLNEY ENTERPRISE
Pfege
1TH WARD P.-T. A.
VES SILVER TEA
Members of the North Ward Par-
ent-Teacher association were hos-
tesses at a silver tea Tuesday after-
!on and evening at the home of
A. A. Cooper. Proceeds from
thijs affair, which amounted to about
$40, went into the treasury of the
• association to complete the year’s
budget.
Guests were greeted at the door
by Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. S. J. Mar-
cell, president of the association.
During the afternoon hours, Mrs.
Earl Gilbert was hostess in the liv-
room and invited the guests into
the dining room. This post was fil-
led in the evening by Miss Edna
Wood, principal of the North Ward
school. In the dining room Mrs. H.
C. McKinney and Mrs. A. A. Dyer
presided over a beautiful appointed
tea table laid with a lace cloth over
pink and centered with an effective
arrangement of flowers, tulle and
tapers in colors of pink and green.
Tea and wafers were served in the
afternoon by Misses Rogers and
Amos of the North Ward faculty and
in the evening by Misses Creekmore
.and Walker, also members of the
same faculty. Pink and green mints
in crystal nappies further reflected
.the chosen color scheme in the din-
ing room. Mrs. Rhea Anderson pre-
sided over the silver table both aft-
ernoon and evening.
Throughout the afternoon hours,
from 4 to 6, and in the evening from
8. to 9, a most enjoyable program of
.musical numbers and readings was
offered, with Mrs. B. C. Schulkey in
general charge of the arrangements.
From 4 to 5 Mrs. R. A. Drum acted
£# chairman of the program, the
numbers including piano solos by
Miss Fannie Noah, readings by Miss
Louise Scott, piano duets by Misses
Rice and Elliott and vocal numbers
by Mrs. George E. Weber, Mrs. Fern
Robertson and True Lovelace.
Miss Hawkins was in charge of
the program from 5 to 6, during
which time piand numbers were giv-
en by Miss Clair Purdy, Mrs. John
Teddlie and Martha Marcell, read-
ings by Mrs. Claude Wallace and a
musical reading by Miss Hawkins
with Miss Purdy accompanying.
In the evening Mrs. Schulkey pre-
sided over the program, which in-
cluded several groups of selections
by the high school orchestra, piano
numbers by Mrs. E. W. Hunt and
Mrs. John Teddlie and a group of
Scotch songs by Mrs. DeWitt Mc-
Clatchy.
Between 50 and 100 guests cal-
Sd during the afternoon and even-
lg hours.

IDERATION STRIVING
TO AID FARM WOMEN
tallowing up the passage of a
resolution to assist in lifting the
burden of cultivating and harvesting
cotton from the shoulders of the
.500,000 farm women of Texas, the
Texas Federation of Women’s clubs
already has a comprehensive pro-
gram in operation looking to the
realization of this dream.
“How will the federation contrib-
ute to this seemingly impossible
task?” was asked repeatedly at the
First and Sixth Federation district
meetings, where the resolution was
introduced, and pledged cooperation
with the Chambers of Commerce of
Texas in this far-reaching effort.
Mrs. W. R. Potter of Bowie, pres-
ident of the Texas Federation, realiz-
mg that the task is great and its
realization necessarily slow in com-
ing about, points to the work of the
federation already in operation, un-
der the American homes division.
Through the agencies of the home
demonstration agents, both men and
women, the 50,000 club women of
Texas, many of them living in or
very near the rural communities,
Chambers of Commerce, agricultural
colleges and the farm women them-
selves, all concentrating on the single
idea of better living conditions on
the farms and the general removal
of women and girls from the cotton
fields, the result, while gradual,
surely will come.
Dwelling on details of the con-
structive program now under way,
Mrs. Potter stressed municipal mark-
eting as one of the gateways of re-
lease for the farm women. Accord-
ing to this plan the woman can bring
her own produce to market, where
it is sold at a profit. Without the
market, the farmers sell their green
vegetables from door to door with
a great deal of waste, little .profit
and much time lost. Mrs. C. H.
Hutchjns of Greenville is state chair-
man of municipal marketing.
Vocational training is another
thing that Mrs. Potter looks forward
\tS as a boon, in time, to Texas farm
women. Educated farm women will
jkcrease efficiency and humanitari-
anisms on the farms. She looks to
the time when there will be educat-
ed farm women, for even now the
colleges are turning out trained
young women for farm activities.
"These women will not go into the
fields to chop and pick cotton,” de-
clared Mrs. Potter.
County fairs stimulate an interest
in farm products. In every communi-
ty where it is practical, the fed-
eration chairman are not only en-
couraging but seeing to it that wo-
men exhibit their products. Mrs.
Potter described with glad enthus-
GRANDI BROTHERS
Who will be in Olney next week
with Grandi Comedians
iasm the delight she has seen farm
women express when they won prizes
at county fairs.
“Every time you teach a woman
to make herself or her home a little
more attractive,” declared Mrs. Pot-
ter, “you have directed her just
that much farther on the way to
hally, efficient homemaking. If it is
only to teach her how to choose ma-
terials for a dress, it is far-reaching-
in effect upon herself and her chil-
dren.”
“Since the findings of the Home
Equipment Survey, conducted by the
American homes department, and the
county demonstrators, revealed that
only 20 .out of every 100 homes in
Texas have running water and that
many other conveniences are lack-
ing for homemaking, the federation
was the second in the nation to enter
the campaign for better equipped
homes. Now the program calls for
kitchens as good workshops and
homes provided with labor saving
devices that will change them from
the manual to the machine power
stage of efficiency.”
A prize has been offered by the
State federation to the district mak-
ing the most progress in better
homes. A home equipment primer is
being introduced to women all over
the state.
For information about municipal
marketing, communications may be
addressed to Mrs. J. Lee Jones,
Colorado, who will tell you of the
plan worked successfully in Mitchell
county.
A scholarship will be awarded to
the Farmers Short Course at Texas
A. & M. college to the rural boy
or girl who writes the best article
on “What It Will Take To Make
Farm Life Attractive to the Present
and Future Generation.” Contestants
must be between 14 and 20. Articles
must contain from 350 to 500 words
and be sent to Mrs. D. S. Peddn,
3517 Harvard Avenue, Dallas, before
October 15. Awards will be made at
the November meeting of the State
federation meeting in Denton.
P.-T. A.S TO HAVE
JOINT MEETING
The Parent-Teacher associations
of the North and South Ward schools
will close their year’s work with a
joint meeting at the high school
auditorium Friday, May 4 at 8
o’clock. Superintendent B. C. Shul-
key will preside at the affair, and
a half hour’s program will be offer-
ed by the P.-T. A. of each school.
The principal speaker of the evening-
will be Mrs. McCain of Wichita
Falls, a prominent worker in the
Parent-Teacher association activities
of Wichita Falls and this section of
the state. The entire public is cord-
ially invited and urged to attend this
affair and learn something- of the
valuable assistance rendered this
year by the work of the two organi-
zations. It is hoped that a large
crowd of school patrons and others
interested will be in attendance at
this closing meeting of the associa-
tions.
During the South Ward period
on the program Principal P. G.
Tribble will give a resume of the
year’s wox-k of the South Ward Par-
ent-Teacher association. Other num-
bers on this part of the program will
include selections by the Boys Glee
club, directed by Miss Clair Purdy,
a violin solo by Edna Earle William,
son, a reading by Henry Keen Kirk-
patrick and a saxaphone sqlo by T.
J. Dillehay.
The program of the North Ward’s
half hour will open with a resume of
the year’s P.-T. A. work in that
school by Miss Edna Wood, princip-
al, numbers by the harp band and
the Girls’ Glee club, both directed
by Miss Dorothy Sandefer, and se-
lections by the primary band, di-
rected by Miss Junia Amos:

PATERNALISM— WHAT
DOES IT MEAN?
How many people understand the
real meaning of paternalism in gov-
ernment?
Paternalism means fathering or
mothering. In government it means
the assupmtion by the governing
power of a fatherly relation to the
people, involving strict and intimate
supervision of their business and
social concerns, upon the theory that
they are incapable of managing their
own affairs, says Webster’s diction-
ary.
It is a well-known fact in family
life that the child which is dominated
and controlled by the parent so that
its own initiative is killed, reaches
maturity under a great handicap
and unfitted for the struggles and
problems of life.
The same rule holds good in gov-
ernment. Where private initiative
and enterprise are killed by official
control of the individual or opera-
tion of his business, the citizen lacks
spirit and ambition, and the nation
stagnates and degenerates into a
helpless political subdivision on the
face of the earth.
Paternalism and public ownership
of industry, with resulting destruc-
tion of private initiative and enter-
prise, are foreign to the principles
upon -which our government was
formed. They should be rejected by
our people, when proposed in what-
ever form by persons socialistically
inclined and who would undermine
the right to private property and to
private development of industry in
this nation.
PROSPERITY INCREASES WITH
DECREASED PRODUC-
TION COSTS
Production costs decrease as ma-
chinery replaces human labor. As
production costs go down, the earn-
ing power of the nation increases,
and as earnings increase consumption
increases.
Thus the loss of jobs in one in-
dustry through the use of power ma-
chinery means the gain to other in-
dustries in released man-power, and
greater earnings of the laborers
mean creation of new industries.
The general use of electric ma-
chinery in industry and the home
has made Our Country the greatest
on earth in the matter of comfort in
living, steady employment and in-
dustrial achievement.
ANTI-TRUST LAWS
CAUSE OIL WASTE
The Committee of Nine, appointed
by the Federal Oil Board to investi-
gate ways and means of reducing
waste of our petroleum resources,
recommends legislation affecting an-
ti-trust laws.
“No measures short of drastic
limitations on the production of oil
which would be distinctly against
the public interest, can be relied up-
on to wholly prevent periods of over-
production,” the committee said in
its report to Secretary Work.
“The occurrence of such periods
is inherent in the circumstances in
which the oil is found and under
which it must be produced. Their in-

Overtake the“7i ?
If CHRYSLER ”72”
were merely more beau-
tiful—if it were just an
average good value—it
would deserve no spe-
cial consideration from
the buyer.
But it clamors for his
consideration and de-
mands his attention by
reason of a gauge and
proof of greater value
which cannot be es-
caped.
All cars today seek to
approximate Chrysler

they to the ”72” today?
No closer than they were
three years ago.
As they have struggled
to approach, Chrysler
”72” has pulled away
and gallops around
and past them with
more than the ease
of the old original
Chrysler sensation - car
of 1924.
There may be pocket-
book reasons for choos-
ing cars of lesser price
There simply cannot be
patterning after Chrysler engineering. But a valid reason for paying as much or more
after three years of striving, how close are for any car other than the ”72.”

jurious effect, however, can be much
diminished by permitting at such
times the curtailment of drilling and
production by voluntary agreements
between the oil producers.
“At the present time, such agree-
ments, no matter what the neces-
sity for them, would be in violation
of the anti-trust laws of some, if not
all, of the oil producing states, and
under some circumstances in viola-
tion of the laws of Congress pro-
hibiting restraints on interstate and
foreign commerce.
“It is distinctly in the public in-
terest that agreements between oil
producers for the curtailment of
drilling and production be permit-
ted, at times when serious overpro-
duction exists or is immediately
threatened.”
Especially do we desire to knock
on that type of resolution which
begins, “whereas it has pleased the
divine creator of the universe.” We
desire to knock because we do not
believe that there is anything pleas-
ing to the creator about it. We
have a feeling that there is as much
regret in the high places of heaven
when a useful life is cut short of its
earthly career and its period’ of use-
fulness and good work ended here
below, as there is among the earthly'
friends who are called upon to sever”
earthly ties.. 1
Every time any one man puts a
new idea across, he finds ten men:
who thought of it before he did. But.
they only thought of it.

per pound of the twine they buy. Some
twines, because of poor and uneven
spinning, run far short of their claimed
