rollment: 1934-1936, 103,872. For
1937-1939, 350,497, or a gain of
246,625 in the last period.

total increase of 24,662 in the lat-
ter period.

period and 2,539 in the 1937-39
period showing a gain of 1,235 in
the last period.
Enrollment in Vacation Bible

crease as well, because of the

of 80,849 in the last two years.

Overloading Fines
Against Truckers
Reach New High
Austin, December 4.—For the
second month, overloading fines
reached a new high for 1940, as
the October report of the License
and Weight Inspectors of the
State Highway Patrol, made avail-
able to the Texas Motor Trans-
portation Association, showed
more than $37,000 charged against
truckers for violation of the 7,000-
pound load limit law.
Representing over $1,2000 a
day, this total includes only fines
for overloading, and takes no ac-
count of cases pending, of which
there are sixteen, nor for other
violations, such as fines for im-
proper registration, operating
without permit, speeding, and oth-
ers.
CHEVROLET’S 300.000TH
UNIT LEAVES ASSEMBLY
LINE AT FLINT, MICH.
Detroit, Dec. 4.—The 300,000th
unit of Chevrolet’s 1941 produc-
tion left the assembly line at the
Flint, Mich., plant leas than three
weeks after completion of No.
200,000. The announcement was
made here by M. E. Coyle, general
manager of that division of Gen-
eral Motors.
"Achievement of the 300,000
mark at this early date in the
new model year is a reflection of
an exceptionally strong and gener-
al public demand, a demand which
implies most enthusiastic recep-
tion of the new product," said
Mr. Coyle. "The first of the 1941
models left the assembly line on
Sept. 3. This means that the first
300,000 of the new Chevrolets
have been produced in 62 working
days.
“On the basis of current indi
cations, our plants will be requir

COUNTY WIDE
SINGING REPORT
On Monday evening, December
2nd, the county-wide singing class
met at the court house for an-
other singing. The crowd was
rather small, but we had a good
singing. Bro. Obie Barton and a.
few of the young people of Street-
man were with us and we were
glad to have had them with us.
The following named persons
led class songs: E. P. Hughes,
Henry Tisdale, Ruby Newman, O.
D. Christian, Cecil Brown, Mar-
tharene Glass, Fred Richardson,
Ruth Chavers, Lola Ruth Barton,
Immogene Richardson, Winston
Earl Barton, Louise Tisdale and
Bro. Obie Harton.
We enjoyed hearing the Street-
man quartet render two fine
selections and then two selections
by a quartet arranged by E. P.
Hughes.
Mrs. Fred Richardson was pian-
ist for the evening.
After the singing the class dis-
cussed the matter of how often
to meet during the winter months
and a motion was made and was
carried to meet on the 1st and
the 3rd Monday evenings in each
month until further notice.
Remr«j4>er this announcement
and a.jSnnge to be here at the
court house on the 3rd Monday
evening, December 16th, at 7:00
o’clock, for another cpunty wide
Binging. An effort is being made
to secure some special singing
class or group to be with us and
all singers in the county are being
notified of this meeting. We are
planning to have one of the best
singings yet. We welcome you
and will be looking for you i to
be with us at our next meeting.

It was whispered, shortly after
election, that Mr. Roosevelt in-
tended to lean very heavily on
Mr. Wallace, even to the extent
of making him a sort of “Execu-
tive President” to relieve the
President himself of details while
the President looked after such
things. Some indications have al-
ready been given of a project of
this sort.
During the campaign Mr. W;
lace was sent around the coun
to speak for the President. Si;

the best answer that the
ington wiseacres have been
to figure out is that, while
Roosevelt doesn’t expect a
term fjr himself, he wants to
the fcdrth-term candidate and
is grjbming Mr. Wallace for the
job. '
