Hobo Party At
Roosevelt School
The members of the 6th grade of
Roosevelt School were dressed in
varied costumes Friday evening as
they gathered on the front lawn for
their farewell party of the year. A
well lighted lawn furnished ample
space for active games until the
“Hoboes” found a well-prepared
program more interesting in the aud-
itorium. This was prepared by the
program committee with Odessa

Hoboes then found a “hand-out”
in the west hall, decorated by mem-
bers, directed by Miss Creekmore.
Lanterns took the place of electric
lights and numerous “cobwebs” hung
here and there on the walls and
ceiling.
Beans, onions, pickles, crackers
and buttermilk was the menu for
the evening. The menu committee
was directed by Miss Wood with
Billie Atchley as chairman.
The hoboes soon left and will have
to meet in a different place for
next year as they are graduating
from Roosevelt this year.

Quartette Presents
School Song Books
The Boys Quartette of Roosevelt
school has presented the school with
twenty song books. “Songs Texas
Sings” is the title of the books.
They feel that children in Texas will
always want to sing these songs. They
have earned their money selling
candy during the lunch period each
day.
The personnel of the quartette
are: G. C. Eagan, James Bowden,
Don Routh and Kenneth Parker.
Resolutions Of Respect
Since God in His infinite wisdom
has seen fit to call from the ranks
of the Olney Faculty Club, our be-
loved member and co-worker, Mabel
Woody Lovelace, we are deeply
grieved because of her going.
The last echoes of the rich, golden
strains of her violin have died away,
but with us will remain the memory
of those favorite selections of hers.
Pension Questions
Answered By Director
This is the second of a series of
question that the people of Texas
are asking. Orville S. Carpenter,
state pension director, answers them
frankly and to the point:
Q.: How many people are there
in Texas past the age of 65 years?
A.: Over 300,000.
Q.: Definitely, if Texas gave each
one of these $30 a month, would the
Federal government pay half of it?
A.: No.
Q.: If each of the 300,000 re-
ceived assistance, where would the
money come from to pay the bill
A.: It could come only from the
taxpayers of Texas.
Q.: Could we pay everyone past
65 years of age $30 per month if
we desired and were willing to do
so without the millions that the
Federal government will contribute?
A. No, we could not because the
Old Age Assistance Amendment to
the Texas Constitution provides for
payments not to exceed $15 per

age, and just as the driver was put-
ting the last box in the van, it
slipped and fell on his foot. The
air was blue for a minute with the
driver’s oaths. As the preacher came
out of his home, he asked: “Why
waste you breath?” You might have
just said, ‘Boulder’,”

We who have worked with her have
found her untiring and faithful in
any task given her. Her life and
her music have been a benediction
and an inspiration to all with whom
she came in contact.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
extend to her family who can “rise
up and call her blessed” our deepest
sympathy in this sad hour. May
they look to God through their tears
and be able to say, “The Lord hath
the Lord hath taken

“I want every club girl to gather

sponsor of Ingleside 4-H club girls,

Are Your Assurance of
LIFELONG KITCHEN
HAPPINESS
Tl isn’t necessary to say much to people who come in to
make an actual inspection of the new 1936 Kelvinator.
It represents value that they can see for themselves!
Take temperature, for instance. There’s no need to
guess about it. Kelvinator’s unique Built-in Thermometer
shows exactly how cold it is . . . gives absolute assurance
of safe, dependable, unvarying protection.
Then there’s economy of operation. Kelvinator pro-
vides a written Certificate of Low Cost of Operation that
tells in advance that current consumption will be low.
Important, too, is the service you can expect from a
refrigerator. Kelvinator gives you a signed assurance of
dependability, the manufacturers’ Five Year Protection
Plan.
But these aren’t all that catch the eye! There are flex-
ible grids in all ice trays, automatic defroster, interior
light, vegetable crisper and all of the other refinements
that make a refrigerator truly up-to-the-minute.
There’s no question about it. When you’ve seen the
new Kelvinator for yourself, you, too, will say: "My next
refrigerator will be a Kelvinator.”
