"SALUTE TO DAWN" TITLE
BOOK OF POEMS
PUBLISHED
Mrs. Ruth Averitte of Ft.
Worth, but formerly Ruth Hum-
phrey who was reared in this vi-
cinity is a writer of poetry and

by critics to be a real contribu-
tion to Southwest literature. All
types of lyric forms have been
included, sonnets, ballads, mon-
ologues, simple lyrics and free
verse.
,'Much of Mrs. Averitte's verse
has a sad trend. This may be
readily understood because prac-
tically all of her verse was writ-
ten after the death of her 8-year
old daughter, Frances, in 1933.
Frances was herself instinctive-
ly a poet, those who knew her
One poem, which deals with
pioneering and the poet's moth-
er, Mrs. Nanny Humphrey of
Wichita Falls, is, "She Was Hap-
pier Than I." Others are: Aer-
ial Cowboy" and "Amateur
Hour." Mrs. Averitte has made
a thorough study of the tech-
nique of poetry. „
Copies of, "Salute The Dawn,
have been received here by the
poet's brother, E. H. Humphrey
and by Mrs. Sam Isaacs.
One hundred and ten alumni
of the Canadian High School at-
tended the annual banquet held
Monday night, at the Methodist
Church dining hall.
Tables were centered by can-
delabra holding red tapers. Frank
Shaller was toastmaster. Jep

ning. Group singing was led by
