WEEKLY SERMONETTE
By James Keller
A SOFT ANSWER . . .
One day despite warnings, Donald Carey, a thirteen-year-old boy,
climbed over a four-foot fence and ventured too far into an area re-
served for two polar bears at the Forest Park Zoo in St. Louis. He
narrowly escaped with his life. .......
The two bears, “Snowball” and “Frisky”—favorites at the Zoo
for years—suddenly grabbed Donald by the legs, pulled him into the
nit and began to bite and pummel him. He was rescued only when
attendants attracted by the screams of children outside the fence,
rnehed to the scene, drove off the bears, and pulled him free. Later,
the director of the Zoo said that the only reason the boy escaped
with his life, even though he’d been mauled by the huge anirflals for
almost fifteen minutes, was because "he did not try to fight the
“Be at agreement with thy adversary betimes, whilst thou art
in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver thee to
the fudge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou
be castinto prison.” (Matthew 3:25)
O God. teach me how to disagree without being disagreeable!

FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING
DURING a recent meeting of the queen committee of
Oil week of which Mrs. J. C. Horn was a member, the ques-,
tion of having a flat-bed truck for the queen’s float came up
and Mrs. Hom excused herself long enough to telephone
Mr. Hora, who operates the J. C. Horn Trucking Co.
“I’ve already given that consideration and a truck will
be available,” Mr. Horn replied. There has not been an
Oil week parade, nor any other kind of a parade held in
Nocona in which Mr. Hora lias not made such a contribu-
tion.
Either one of his flat-bed trucks is used in the parade
er one is used as a judges’ stand. Mr. Hora has never been
called upon to provide a truck for any civic program but
what he has willingly agreed. Our flowers for the living
this week to Mr. Hora for the many useful contributions he
has made to Nocona’s civic life. Without such supporters,
Nocona could not have amassed the reputation she holds as
• leader in publicity recognizing each year what oil means
to the world.
FROM TEACHER TO CLOWN
THERE appeared in a recent edition of Texas Outlook,
published by the Texas State Teachers association, an ar-
ticle which magnifies more than anything else could the
inequality of the teaching profession as compared with
other professions and businesses. The article, short but
loaded with arguments for Tietter pay for teachers, told of a
man named Britten of New York, who has deserted the
teaching profession to become a clown for Ringling Broth-
ers circus. And Mr. Britten holds two college degrees.
His reason? As a school teacher he could only earn
around $3,000 to $4,000 a year, so he dropped the profession
to clown for a salary of $7,500 a season to start. The word
clown is indicative of something any one can do, but this
is not true. Good clowning requires skill, but the fact re-
mains that however much America needs clowns to enter-
tain her millions, she needs teachers far more to educate
and train her children. Any grown person of sound mind
could be a clown if he possesses some of the natural instincts
that make a clown, but any grown person cannot be a
teacher.
Clowns work only a little more than four hours a day
when both matinee and evening performances are given by
a circus. Teachers work from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m., and it is
not uncommon for many of them to do work at home.
Clowns do not work during the winter months as teachers,
do not during three months of summers. What clowns do
during a performance is forgotten within hours; certainly
after a few weeks. What teachers do is remembered for a
couple of generations. They shape lives and prepare minds
for whatever their former students do with those minds in
later years. .....
Honorable as clowning is in the Circus world, it is an
American disgrace that a man can leave the teaching pro-
fession to be a clown at a salary of around twice as much
as he can make as a teacher. The clown story is another
good argument in favor of passage of amendment No. 4 a'i
the Texas general election. This amendment, if approved
by the voters, would bring the teacher retirement law up-
to date. It was composed more than 20 years ago when
the country was deep in a depression and banks were clos-
ing. not in Nocona, but in other pnrts of the country, and
businesses were failing by the hundreds. Passage of this
amendment will not, in itself, correct the teacher shortage,
but it can at least go a long way toward correcting it.

HALLOWE’EN PRANKS COMPARED
TO DESTRUCTION
THERE probably is not a person around Nocona who
does not want Nocona’s children to have their fun on Hal-
lowe’en night, October 31. but there also is not a person
who wants to suffer the loss of property because of such
seasonable fun. . ,
Hallowe’en has been a season of mystery and mirth
for generations and it is likely that it always will be.
although much of the “kick” of Hallowe'en has been erased
by oldsters who have used the night as an excuse to get
away with the destruction of property which costs them
■nothing—unless they get caught and jailed as some have
been,
Hallowe’en is strictly a “kids’ night,” during the early
hours of which they appear in weird costumes and make
weird sounds and do weinl things to “scare the devil out of
their neighbors and own parents. The net Cost of their
“depredations” is zero because, in their innocence, they are
merely following an ancient American custom.
But—Hallowe’en has been seized upon too many times
by older boys who think they are having fun destroying
other people’s property. Most of them are ten years be-
Sond the age of going Hallowe’ening. They deserve to
ave fun, but not at other people’s expense.
IT BREAKS THE PATTERNS OF THE PAST!
