FIDELIS CLASS MEETING
It was decided that the group cap-
_ ; tain should be President. Lona Mae
Group Number 1 of the Fidelis Cade was elected Vice President;
Class met in a business meeting on and Pauline Setser, Reporter. Our
November 6, 1930 at the home aft&ini is to be a 100 per cent group
Miss Beuna’ Austin, The meeting in Sunday School. We then had a
was called to order by Oletha brief discussion ‘of the Sunday
Martin who is group captain. Of- School lesspn.
League ‘within the range of the
average pupil’s study, observation
and experience.” Thus it will not
be necessary for pupils entering this
contest to be prepared on current
news, as in the past, but much
practice in actual composition will
be necessary for those who expect
to compete successfully. This change
in the rules was made in accordance
with the recommendation of the
committee in the English faculty of
the University of Texas which has
the state contest. Less emphasis on
amassing of information and more
emphasis upon practice .in composi-
tion, this committee believes, will
give better results.
HARD TIMES INVADE
CENTRAL .AMERICA
Mr. and Mrs. Lamar Short ar-
rived here last week from Guate-
mala, Central America, and are
visiting his mother, Mrs. J. W.
Stephenson, five miles northeast of
town.
Mr. Short has been in Central
America for the past seven years
localities and West Texas generally
through its being built and pledged
their support. And these West
Texans generally through its being
built and pledged their support. And
these West Texans, we believe, will | j
get results, for they will "be able to |
show the marvelous strides their j |
section has made in spite of inade- j !
quate transportation; the need ihat, j
exists for the line; the great agri- j j
cultural development that is certain , j
to follow its construction and that i
charge of the grading of essays in rather than injuring existing lines j
the new^road, for the most part, ■

tirely new and wonderfully rich i |
country. Every soud argument is | j
upon their side since the Texas and j
Pacific Railroad is ready to build j
the line and will start construction : j
immediately upon the granting of'
the permit by the Interstate Com' ’[
merce Commission, the necessary j
hearings and investigations should
be speeded up as much as possible, j
The project answers both of the j
Interstate Commission's requirements
of convenience and necessity. The j
road is a necessity to a great country < ’

WEST TEXAS RALLIES
TO THE T. & P.
West Texans in that section to ^
be traversed by the projected Texas •
;and Pacific Northern from Big
1 Spring to Amarillo and Vega are !
j rallying to the support of the road’s ;
application with all of th£ energy
and co-operative spirit that have
so long characterized West Texas.
Already the list of intervenors filed
!with the State Railroad Comm is - j
'sion exceeds 50 and with the ex- j
ceptlon of the few railroads, who
naturally are apposing it for fear i
i that its construction may result in j
I loss of tonnage to them, all wish |
! to be heard in support of its appli- j
cation. The list not only includes
the Chamber of Commerce of the
i towns through which the road will
pass, the leading landowners and
citizens of the counties to be served,
but towns and cities that will bene-
fit only indirectly.
The meeting held at Amarillo Fri-
day night is indicative of the sup-
port the projected road has aroused
und the enthusiasm with which
these West Texans have got behind
it More than 500 representative
cities from 13 counties attended tha
me;tlng, cited the benefits tha
wotdd accrue to their indlvidua.
