Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion will give eye tests to all
students in Paducah Public
Schools beginning November 1-
3, according to Mrs. George
Jones, publicity chairman.
First day of tests will begin
at Alamo School, Nov. 1.
This is only a preliminary
test and those who show need
of further checking will be re-
ferred to an eye doctor.
In the past, referrals have
been made by the classroom
teacher after observation of the
students. “This will enable stu-
dents who might have been
missed to get a closer check,”
according to H. R. Jefferies,
supt. of schools.
A hearing test will be given
at a later date.

Bristo said approximately
500 out of town buyers, in-
cluding around 300 boys and
agriculture teachers of FFA and
Agriculture chapters from all
over Texas and Oklahoma attend
ed the sale. Several Paducah
people also came out to watch
and to buy. Pigs that were bought
by Paducah FFA chapter will
be shown in February at the
Ft. Worth FatStockShow. Other
animals will be shown in local
county, district and state shows.
“The Paducah Swine
Producers Association would
like to take this opportunity to
thank all merchants, individuals
farmers and FFAof Paducah for
all contributions toward con-
struction of the new sale barn,
both in money and labor.
We feel that the new barn
contributed greatly to the suc-
cess of the sale.”
The new barn is still under
construction, and Bristo stated
that anyone wishing co contri-
bute may do so by contacting
him or any member of the
association.
It is hoped that the barn will
be completely finished by the
annual Cottle-King Calf and
Pig Show in March. Original
purpose for the barn is to house
animals for this show.

Although the entire county re-
ceived some frost last week,
the kill on cotton, sudan and
other crops was spotted, being
mostly in low places and
valleys. Vegetables, such as
tomatoes, squash, etc. were
damaged to the point of killing
the vines, but no severe damage
was done to cotton bolls.
