Business Men’s Club
Twenty five responded to the
regular luncheon meeting of the
Club Thursday night at Goude-
lock cafe, enjoying a chicken
supper. W. C. Schmidt spoke the
invocation. Following routine
business a full report was given
by Dr. Darilek and Mrs. Ella E.
Lane on the meeting at Yoakum
addressed by the State Land-
scape Engineer from the High-
way Department. Jos Muras and
C. J. Waldrep were appointed to
contact interested organizations
at Moulton on connecting up
with Highway 95 beautification.
The report of the Boy Scout
organization committee was tak
*en up. Benno Holchak making a
complete report for the com-
mittee with suggestions obtained
by Dr. Darilek. Tho3. Hughs was
out of town but his father, Shi-
ner’s first Boy Scout Master
gave some splendid advice, glean-
ed from years of experience in
by gone days.
The Club voted to sponsor the
Boy Scout movement and deci-
ded the first step .would be to
call a meeting of the parents of
boys who are interested. It was
learned that the boys were ready
to go but the enthusiastic co-
operation of parents must be
manifested before the movement
can be made a success. The com-
mittee was instructed to secure
names of boys of eligible age
from both schools and also the
names of parents who have boys
coming on and invite them to at-
tend a mass meeting to voice
their approval or disapproval of
the boys joining the Scout troop
Pres. Otto expressed regrets
over not commending the Trades
Day committee for their untir
ing services when he, discharged
them at the previous meeting.
He gave them voluminous praise
at this meeting, especially L. E,
Denmark and Benno Holchak.
At the request of the president,
the membership gave them a
hand clap of appreciation. No
further business the club ad
journed until Feb. 27.

Texans to Spend
Millions in 1936
As Host to U.S.A.
Southwest Empire’s Fete of
Independence to Center
in Dallas
Dallas, Texas.—In 1936 tha Stats of
Texas will celebrate the passage of a
century since her pioneer settler* won
freedom from Mexican rule and «*-
tablished the Republic of Texaa, which
later became a state.
Throughout the Lone Star State
there will be celebration* at plaees
of historic and patriotic interest. The
cities and towns which were battle
seenee in the Texas Revolution, and
communities founded during the ex-;
ploration and colonisation preceding;
the Republic, will commemorate prog-
ress of tha only state that existed as
an independent republic, prior to its
entrance to the Union.
Under the six flags that hay* flown'
over Texas soil—those of Prance,
Spain, Mexico, Republic of Texas, the
Confederacy and the United States—1
since 1519, there has been written by
men and women, in thought and ac-
tion, a saga that is truly mighty.
Highlights of the gala and festive
celebrations of the Centennial Year

right an historic one. It is the Texas
Centennial Exposition to open in Dal-
las on June 6 and continue until No-

las also pledged $5,500,000 in cash for
building her share of the enterprise,
$3,500,000 of which was raised by a
municipal bond issue and $2,000,000
bonds sold by the Texas Centennial
Central Exposition Corporation, com-
prised of Dallas citizens.
The Texas Legislature appropriated
$3,000,000 and the United States Gov-
ernment a like sum.

equipment will be installed.
A million dollar sports plant will
enable the Exposition to handle sport-
ing events of all kinds. The grounds
already have a $400,000 stadium seat-
ing 46,000 people, a horse race track

DON’T PASS A CAR ON
HILL
One frequent cause of
automobile accidents is the
attempt to pass a car at the
brow of a hill. Two such ac-
cidents have occurred in this
county in the last few weeks
in which four lives were lost.
In the papers of Saturday
two such accidents were pub-
lished as having happened in
Oklahoma in which three
persons were killed and five
seriously injured. You can
drive up behind a car and
pass it on the top of the -hill
safely possibly 100 times, but
the very next time you try
it you may meet a car com-
ing up on the other side of
the hill.
It is estimated that no
fewer than 500 lives are lost
every year 'from this cause.
Don’t be in a hurry to pass!
a car when you cannot see a
safe distance ahead.— The
Marshall Morning News.
