Be sure and get your tickets
early as the ticket committee
wants to know about how many
they will have. A report must
be made to the caterer by Sat-
urday. It would be very nice if
you would invite as guests a
couple of your country friends.
They will enjoy it and we will
enjoy having them. Dr. Buckner
will give an inspiring address
and Erman Gray reports the

music."
The eighteenth birthday of the
Canadian Chamber of Commerce
sees the organization no longer
as a group struggling to survive,
rather it finds a greater, more
substantial and more united or-
ganization banded together for
the sake of association, no doubt,
but. also for something greater
and deeper than that—because
they are conscious of common
interests lying outside their bus-
iness occupations, because they
are members of the same com-
munity and in frequent inter-
course find mutual stimulation
and a real maximum of vitality
and power.
ONE-TENTH OF INCH
OF RAIN FALLS HERE
PUPILS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL,
WITH AVERAGE GRADE
OF 90.
Service Center
Some relief from dry weather
came to Canadian, Monday night,
when one-tenth of an inch of
rain fell. Although this was not
nearly enough to be of much real
benefit to the wheat crop, it has
materially helped lawns and
gardens.

CANADIAN LIGHT PLANT
A supply of paint has been
received from S. O. Pelton of the
Amarillo office of the Department

ing the air-way sign atop the

The Canadian Chamber of C6m-

CHAMBERS AND STUDER
SPEAK AT KIWANIS MEET

ARTHUR LEWIS TAKES PART
IN BIG AIR SHAM BATTLE
Arthur Lewis, son of Mrs. A.
J. Lewis, member of the Ilth
bombardment squad of the sev-
enth bombardment group of the
U. S. Air Corps, was one of the
first thirteen chosen from Rock-
well Field', San Diego, to partic-
ipate in the big 21-day sham
battle now in progress at Sacra*
mento, Calif.
stage production to be offered
the people of this vicinity since
the building was opened.
Perhaps, the two leading fem-
inine roles were played by Gwen-
dolyn Brown and Lona Willis.
They both did their parts nicely
and showed they had been well
trained. Johnnie Hood, as the
'father of the leading man, Billy
Allen, won the applause. Billy-
made a handsome lead' and did
his part well.
Lucille Smith made an attrac-
tive maid. Helen Helton did the
part of an old maid quite well.
Others of the cast were Frances
Hanna, Lorene Coym, Hazel Crow-
oil, Maybelle Murray, Oliver Wat-
ers, Earl Dodd, Paul Wood, Clar-
ence Walser and Emmett Eller.
Miss Savage deserves much credit
for the work done in directing
the cast.
A specialty between acts that
brought down the house was en-
titled "Excerpts from the Follies
of 1940," a dancing, singing fea-
ture put on by sixteen girls and
boys 8 years old. These were
headed by La Verne Trayler and
Harvey Swires, who danced and
sang like little professionals. The
group included Ouanda Fry, Dor-
ris Morris, Laura Louise Studer,
Gene Austin, Ruby Mae Sipes,
Kenneth Davis, Billy Ann Lamb,
Billy Goins, Annette Miller, Rob-
erta Kite, Ruby Baker, Edward
Rhoads, Jonas Wilks and Gene
De Armond. The dainty dresses
worn by the little girls were-de-
signed by Mrs. Temple Hargrave.
Mrs. Robert Kite made the suits
for the boys. Mrs. Lila , Dean
spent much time training the
youngsters and certainly should
be complimented for the results.
Another between-acts feature
was the Hickville Band, directed
by Erman Gray. Players were
members of the High School
Band. Three younger girls put
on a clever dancing skit, dressed
in red bell hop auits.
A musical program waa played
by Erman Gray and his orchestra.
said Jones in announcing his
candidaey. Mr. Jones has ably
served durig his first term in
the office of sheriff and tax col-
lector of this county. He proved
his efficiency during four years
as deputy under W. B. Johnson,
sheriff and tax collector prior
to his election in 1928.
R C. JACKSON
R, C. Jackson present incum-
bent in the office of clerk of the
county and district courts, an-
nounces he is a candidate for re-
election at the forthcoming Dem-
ocratic primaries. Mr. Jackson
has a wide knowledge of the
duties of the office he seeks. His
experience in that office un-
doubtedly qualify him for the
position. He says he has made
numerous visits to other county
clerk's offices and feels upon re-
turning to his own office that he
is doing his work in the most
satisfactory manner possible. Mr.
Jackson has many friend's in ev-
ery section of the county who
will want to see him re-elected.
J. A. CHAMBERS
J. A. Chambers announces his
candidacy for re-election to the
office of county treasurer, sub-
ject to the Democratic primaries
next July. Mr. Chambers has
served the county conscientiously
and efficiently his first term. He
was a former merchant and one
of the first residents of Canad-
ian and Hemphill county. He
has many friends who will sup-
port him at the coming election.
E. F. CATTERTON
E. F. Catterton announces he
will be a candidate for re-elec-
tion to the office of tax assessor
at the coming Democratic prim-
aries. Mr. Catterton has been an
able and faithful tax assessor
for the county. He is well and
favorably known by practically
all the voters. He was for many
years in the cattle business in
Hemphill county. His experiepce
in the office he seeks is some-
thing that will be considered by
the voters.
