ouneed. There may be more to
come. All eligible registers were
terminated when the civil ser-
vice commission, at the request
of the new postmaster general,
“raised standards” for postmast-
ers.
I wrote the postmaster general
to ask (1) if postmasterships are
to be denied because of political
‘affiliations to persons who have
passed civil service examinations
recently but whose appointments
have yet to be confirmed, and
(2) if postal appointments are to
be removed from civil service.
The deputy postmaster general
replied that “No one is being
denied opportunity to compete
for a postmastership because of
political affiliations.” He said
standards had been raised because
“The position of postmaster is
much more important than has
been generally recognized.” It is
interesting that the Republicans
didn’t recognize the importance
of postmasters until they started
making the appointments. He also
wrote: “There is no intention of
removing from office any of the
postmaster? appointed during the
previous administration if they are
now performing and continue to
perform satisfactory service.”
Esuyi S*nt To H*u»ton
Essays entered in the Friends
of the Land essay contest were
mailed to Houston Monday by
Mrs. Copeland. Every junior and
every senior wrote an essay on
one of the following subjects:
<1) Soil and Water Conservation;
i2) Beef Cattle and Pasture; (3)
Dfl^y Industry and Pasture; (4)
Forest and Timber Conservation;
(5)Our System of Government and
the American Way of Life; (6)
The Worth and the Dignity of the
IndH^ual.
This is the third year that No-
cona students have entered this
contest. It is a good contest, and
competition is keen, with over
TfiOC Texas high school students
competing. The essays will be
turned over to the University of
Houston for judging and for the
selection of the ones to be award
ing. These officers will hold office ,
next year. (
Miss Shackelford, Betty Wall, ,
and Ruth Janeway will represent
Nocona at the state Home Ec (
meeting next Thursday and Fri-
day at San Antonio.

Following the junior-senior ban-
quet Betty Anne Wise had a slum-
ber party, with Sue Ann Stouder, I
Cathryn Davis, Nanetta Lambert,
and Estaline „ Motley as guests.
They actually slept from 4:30 a.m.
to 6.
Barbara Wynne also had a
slumber party, Latrelle Cooper
and Eldeen Hill were already
there when Theresa Reynolds got
there, and thinking she was the
last one to come in, locked the
door. So Aggie Blackman had to
climb in at the window. That
must have been a slumber party

English grammar made him a

The report was circulated Tues-

that it was merely a string of
beads that broke and bounced all
