Friday, January tt, 1M
Dr. Kimbrough
Discusses Rotary
For Local Club
Threaded with a humorous vein,
Dr. Josh Kimbrough of Wichita
Falls told of the organization of
Rotary, traced its growth and mark-
ed the changes in the club when
he was guest speaker Wednesday at
the Rotary Club,
While the principals of Rotary
are the same, phases of the organ-
ization’s activities and practices
have changed with the times. He
cited for example the former stress-
ing of the code of ethics which
today, although the code itself in-
cludes more points, is merely un-
derstood.
Dr. Kimbrough’s talk was made
more interesting as he told of his
boys’ club work for which he re-
ceived the award of outstanding
citizen of 1939 in Wichita Falls.
This work is conducted as part of
his Rotary participation. Conclud-
ing his outstanding talk, Dr. Kim

first county game at 7:30 o’clock
Thursday night when Newcastle,
past county champion, invades the
local court. Continued illness of
starters and squadmen has dogged
the Cardinals and the starting line-

late Thursday.

On account of the big “hospital

selves. Don’t you imagine?

sistant county agent and plans
for 1940 were discussed.

Lunchrooms

Worth assigned to the project ef-
fective the twenty-second, would
use my car, and I would be respon-
sible for her mistakes.
“The local sponsors arranged for
a comfortable, clean, well-lighted,
convenient office, and yesterday I
was demanded to move at once to
the high school basement in the tax
collector’s office, which I do not
feel is a very suitable place for my
office.
“My main object in the work was
to serve good lunches at a low cost
but it seems that the main objec-
tive should be to see that the
clothes line be made a permanent
fixture on the school ground, where
it would hamper the children’s
play.
“I understood that the sponsors
would take care of equipment and
furnishings of lunchrooms; Yester-
day I was informed that I should
see that the lunchroom at Birney
should be reconstructed, tables saw-
ed off and many changes made.
“No constructive criticism was
given, but so much fault found that
I am sure the sponsors will feel that
I am justified in resigning. The lo-
cal sponsors have been most co-
operative with me in the work, and
I thank them for assisting me in
making the lunchroom project a
success.”
When the lunchroom projects in
Birney and Roosevelt Schools were
opened just before Christmas holi-
days, Mrs. Williams consented to
become supervisor of the new pro-
gram and was transferred from the
highly successful home aid center.
During the Christmas holidays she
conducted a training school for
lunchroom employees.

Olney faculty and has served con-
tinuously under the same princi-
pal, Miss Edna Wood.
Miss Creekmore completed work
for her degree at North Texas State
Teachers College, Denton, in 1938.
When she began teaching she had
one year of college training.
During- her years here Miss
Creekmore has made many warm]son,
friends who congratulate her upon
this promotion but at the same time
regret this loss to Olney and the
school. Highest praise for her effi-
ciency and pleasant personality
Lave been given Miss Creekmore
who has been active also in Parent-
Teacher work and other civic pro-
jects. During the past year she has
taught a Sunday School class, ser-
ving as substitute during the illness
of the regular teacher.

Coach Pattison said the date
was dependent on several issues.
Denison is now in the midst of mid-
terms. If they add another teacher
for the second semester, as is con-
templated, Pattison will leave with-
in the very near future. However,
his leaving may be delayed as long
as April 1 when he will go to Deni-
son to direct a 5-weeks spring train-
ing session. Should the coach leave
within the next few weeks, the
board will have another vacancy on
the faculty since Mrs. Pattison will
accompany her husband. She does
not plan to teach in Denison. If
Pattison does not leave until April
Mrs. Pattison will complete the year
teaching the Roosevelt fourth grade.
Sincerely expressing his regret at
leaving, Coach Pattison said, “I
have never enjoyed working any-
where as much as I have in Olney.
I deeply appreciate everything ev-
erything everyone has done and in
all seriousness believe I am taking
away more than I am leaving.
“I guarantee,” he drawled,- “if I
ever hit a jackpot, I’m gonna move
back here and build my home.
“The boys are 100 percent in
every respect. And I hope they win
every game next year and the
state championship,” he concluded
in typically Pattison style, “if I
can’t win my district.”
Coach Pattison was graduated in
1932 from Centenary, Shreveport,
where he lettered -four years in
football, basketball and baseball.
His coach was Homer Norton, now
mentor at A. and M.
Coming to Olney in the spring of
1936 to succeed Blanard Sjpearman,.
Mr. Pattison brought with him a
highly successful record from Jones-
boro, La., where his teams' wdri■'■‘fHa-
state basketball championship and
his football team in the North Louis-
iana conference was runner-up one
year and reached the semi-finals in
another. Under his tutelage the
Cubs played their first class AA
game (then it was class A) and
during the four years have finished
third for three years and fourth last
| year.
Gas association. This group gained
four hard won victories on as
many fronts during 1939. The or-
ganization was instrumental in end-
ing pipe line proporation, securing
pipe line connections, organizing the
KMA Pressure Maintenance asso-
ciation and fighting a continuous
campaign for the elimination of
shutdowns. Promise of the elimina-
tion of shutdowns Feb. 1 is heart-
ening particularly to Olney district
operators since the majority of the
producing wells are strippers and
shutdowns are very disastrous.

That the movies have a definite
effect on children’s emotions, atti-
tude, conducts and sleep was de-
clared by Mrs. Junker who ably
discussed how the movies could be ;
used constructively to teach dis-
crimination and for artistic and so-
cial appreciation.
An average of two movies week-
ly are seen by the 64 ctfildren in
the seventh grade who answered a
questionnaire submitted by Mrs.
Junker. Of this group only 15 stat-
ed they prefer movies to other
forms of recreation. Mrs. Junker
said the extent of retention from
movies is high and decried the fact
that there are few specialized pic-
tures for children. Parents were
urged to consult magazines for re-
views and criticisms of movies be-
fore allowing children to attend
shows and to accompany the boys
and girls to the theater.
W. L. Coffey, school principal and
business manager of the lunch-
rooms, reported on the cafeterias
and praised both Parent-Teacher
associations for their splendid work
on these and other projects.
Mrs. J. T. Von Tungeln of New-
castle will be guest speaker at the
March meqtipg when Founders Day
will be observed, announced Mrs.
C. V. Morgan, "president. Mrs. Hays
was - appointed.. fefctfeg; cafeteria, ad-
visory board by Mrs.' Morgan?’' ' '
Attendance was unusually good
Wednesday with several visitors.
Room attendance prize was won by
Miss Juanita Phillips’ fourth grade.
Mrs. Mary S. Mullins attended
funeral services of a niece in Fort
Worth last Wednesday. She was ac-
companied by Hubert Hart.
