PAY YOUR SCHOOL TAXES
For the past several Weeks numerous rumors have
been in circulation as to whether the Canadian schools
would be forced to close before the regular school year
has been completed. These rumors have caused some
anxiety among people who haVe children attending the
city schools and who wish them to have the advantage Of
a full term.
It is reported by members of the board of education
that at present there is no intention nor have there been
any plans whatever made for closing the schools before
the regular term is completed.
However if such a condition should come to pass the
cause could be charged to the taxpayers. Non-payment of
school taxes would automatically force any city school
system to cease operating. If school taxes continue to be
paid at the present rate it is assured that the Canadian
schools will finish out the usual school term and' thereby
maintain their fully accredited rating with the State
Department of Education and with the Southern Associa-
tion of Secondary Schools and Colleges.
BOYS INTERESTED
IN SCOUT WORK
ROTARIANS ARE ENTERTAIN-
ED WITH ENJOYABLE PRO-
GRAM BY BOYS.
At the weekly Rotary luncheon
Tuesday noon, a group of boys
from the Canadian schools pre-
sented a program under the sup-
ervision of Mrs. Lila Dean and
Miss Evelyn Sewell. The program
began with a number of songs
by a boys' chorus and was fol-
lowed by numerous speeches. The
boys were all of boy scout age
and the speeches portrayed the
characteristics attributive of
scouting. An appeal was then
made to the Rotarians to assist
the bovs in organizing a boy
scout troop in Canadian. The Ro-
tarians received and accepted a
challenge to play the boys a game
of base ball sometime in the near
future.

RESIDENT DIES
REV. GEORGE ABLE WATSON,
LOCALLY WELL KNOWN,
DIED AT AGE 61.
Rev. George Able Watson, well
known locally, died March 14,
1933, at 4:30 a. m. He was born
in the Shenandoah Valley of Vir-
ginia on March 18, 1872 and
lacked but four days of being 61
years old at the time of his
death.
He graduated from college at
Milligan, Tenn., in 1900 and served
as pastor of several churches in
the Shenandoah Valley and other
parts of Virginia.
Coming west in 1907 he married
Miss Edna Marian Thomas of
Durham, Okla. They went to
Virginia to live but on account
of Rev. Watson's health, he was
forced to leave the pulpit and
they came west to the farm.
4-H CLUB CALF
BRINGS $103.05
HEMPHILL CO. CALF TAKES
PRIZE AT AMARILLO
FAT STOCK SHOW.
"Buddy," the baby beef steer
bred by J. C. Studer, and fed by
Elbie Carr of Canadian, took
tenth prize in a class of 131
calves, in the 4-H calf show at
Amarillo last week. It was El-
bie's first attempt at feeding
and fitting a show calf, and he
hatf some experienced boys to
show against.
Buddy, from the J. C. Studer
herd, was not quite a year old,
and weighed at show time 960
pounds. He was bought at the
auction sale by the Quanah Cot-
ton Oil Mill for 11 cents per
pound, third highest price paid
in the sale. Including prize mon-
ey he brought in $103.15, and
cost, including feed, $32.25, leav-
ing a return on labor of $70.90.
"Little Buddy," fed and shown
by Erma Carr, did not place in
the prize money, and sold for
only 6Vi cents per pound, yet
showed a net return for labor of
$19.95. This calf weighed 810
pounds at 11 months age.
With the backing of the North-
east Feeders Association enroll-
ment of calf club members is
now going on, with the expecta-
tion of having 15 to 20 club calves
from Hemphill County in the
Amarillo Fat Stock Show next
year. It is planned to have a
county show at Canadian just be-
fore the calves go to Amarillo,
and the Canadian banks have
co-operated by agreeing to put
up prize money for the local
show.

NATION'S BANKS
ARE OPENING
FOR BUSINESS
ALL LOCAL BANKS REOPEN
WED. MORNING WITH
FEW RESTRICTIONS.
After a national banking holi-
day proclaimed by President
Roosevelt, extending through
March 6 to March 15 and includ-
ing eight business days, the banks
of Canadian re-opened for busi-
ness Wednesday morning, March
15. Authority for re-opening the
national banks came by way of a
license from the Secretary of
the Treasury, Woodin, through
the Federal Reserve Bank of
Dallas. The State Bank was re-
opened by authority of the State
Bank Commissioner of the state
of Texas. .
All normal banking functions
are permitted by the license to
open except that gold or gold
certificates may not be paid out
or currency paid out for the pur-
pose of hoarding.
The treasurer suggested to ail
re-openeo banks that at the start
of business withdrawals should
be limited to necessary purposes.
On March 13 many banks in
the twelve Federal Reserve cities
opened their doors for business
under licenses, issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Tuesday, banks were opened in
250 cities that have recognized
clearing house associations.
It is reported that many banks
are not yet re-opened but will be
authorized to do so as quickly as
their financial stability is as-
sured.

EULA FILLINGIM IS HONORED
Monday morning, March 6, dur-
ing the chapel exercises of Can-
adian High School, Eula Fillin-
gim was awarded a gold basket-
ball for being the most valuable
player on the basketball squad.
All members on the team partic-
ipated in the voting and their
choice was unanimous. Eula has
scored 397 points for the team
this year, three points in the
lead of Katherine Sims who lias
tallied 394 counters. The scoring
of these two forwards has been
the sensation of girls basketball
in the Panhandle.
CHEVROLET PLACES
NEW SIX ON MARKET
Chevrolet has placed on the
market a new car. the Standard
Sis, companion to the present
Master Six series. It is 107
inch wheel base, powered by a
60 horse power valve-in-head, six
cylinder motor and embodies
many of the new automobile im-
provements.
■and one-third of these deaths
could have been prevented or
postponed if efficient public
health measures had been avail-
able. The cost of one mile of
paving would pay for the sup-
port of a county health unit for
two and one-half years and this
will give adequate protection for
the average county.
"Appropriations for health work
in Texas never have been inflated
and therefore do not lend them-
selves to deflation. Texas now
ranks forty-fifth among the states
in per capita appropriations for
health work. The amount now
spent is about three cents per
person and the amount necessary
for health protection is at least
ten cents per capita. The money
spent for public health work gives
more return in dollars and cent9
than any other investment the
government can make.
"In times of stress it is im-
perative that health departments
function to the utmost in order
that preventable diseases may not
become epidemic and cause addi-
tional suffering and expense. The
records of the country as a whole
reflect the efficiency with which
public health work has met the
present emergency."

GOOD ATTENDANCE AT S. S.
AND B. Y. P. U. CONVENTION
The Sunday School and B. Y.
P. U. Convention of the Canadian
Association met in Miami, Tues-
day, March 14, for their annual
meeting With a fairly good at-
tendance. Those who attended
the day service from Canadian,
were Mrs. Fred Cook, Mrs. M. M.
Meeks, R. B. Wiggins, who was
on the program, and W. C. Har-
rison. For the evening service
the Junior and Intermediate Un-
ions attended in a body, being
forty in all. Mrs. R. N. Matthews,
who is leader of the Junior Union,
and Mrs. H. S. Wilbur took the
Juniors. Mrs. Bergie Harrington,
Leatrice Haralson, and W. C.
Harrison took the Intermediate
Union. Earl Lee Wilbur gave a
trumpet solo, accompanied by
lira. R. N. Matthews.
Texas spring planting, already
delayed by wet fields, was further
hampered by heavy rains over
the week-end which may cause
some change in farmers' planting
intentions. A Dallas News sur-
vey shows no increase in feed
crop acreage likely this season
in 75 per cent of the state and a
decrease in some areas expected,
especially on the South Plains.
This shift from feed planting,
which had increased 20 per cent
since 1929 with a corresponding
decrease in cotton, may tend to
increase cotton acreage in some
localities, or cause a shift to
other crops.
In contrast with the abundance
of soil moisture in most of the
State, the northern portion of
the Panhandle is too dry and
will need additional moisture for
seeding. Corn planting- lias start-
ed in South Texas where weather
permits and cotton planting is
under way from the Lower Rio
Grande Valley to the Nueces-San
Patricio section but will not be-
come general over the state until
April. With good weather, feed
planting will be general by the
end of this month except in the
Northu est.
Increases in feed acreage will
be confined largely to South and
Southeast Texas and to the North-
ern Panhandle, where row crops
will go in on some wheat land'.
Hansford, Ochiltree. Lipscomb,
Hartley, Hemphill, Wheeler Pot-
ter and Donley counties in the
Northwest report an intended in-
crease in feed, but considerable
reduction is expected on the South
Plains. In the Southeast 73 per
cent of the reports indifcate- a
larger feed acreage.
Despite heavier planting of
spring oats in many counties,
total oats acreage is not expected
to equal that prior to the freeze.
Replacements will equal freeze
losses only in a few counties,
notably Clay, Montague, Wise,
Erath, Eastland and Callahan;
elsewhere much of the acreage
killed will go into other crops.
