Hearty congratulations to Viv-
ian Elaine Clem of Ennis as

Essay Contest and to Sonny
Benefield of Sweeney (grandson
of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Gentry of
Ennis) for flipping in the win-

TODAY’S CHUCKLES
His mother playfully asked
seven-year-old Timmy about the
little neighbor girl, a newcomer
to the block. Timmy replied that
he intended to marry her.
“And where will you go for
your honeymoon?” she asked.
Came the immediate answer:
“Disneyland!”

The drouth continues. So dos
the need for being extra-cautious
against grass or trash fires.
Don’t minimize their impor-
tance. From time to time one
will grow into a property-damag-
ing holocaust.
A local wag declares there are
some things money won’t buy—
principally, what it once did.
Mexicans Are
Pleased by Air
Pact With US
MEXICO CITY. (AP).—Mexi-
cans are expressing pleasure
over an air agreement signed by
Mexico .and the United States.
The agreement extends the
present pact to 1970 and includ-
es expanded air service between
border cities and expanded serv-
ice to the resort city of Acapul-
co.
A spokesman from the Mexi-
can National Tourism Council
had this to say, in these words:
“The decision to increase the
number of flights connecting
Mexico and the United States
has a tremendous importance
for both nations.
Here was the reaction of
Cesar Balsa—president of the
Mexican Hotel Association:
“It’s simply fabulous—but ie
also makes' me think that we
should definitely start revising
our accomodations facilities in
view of the greater tourist
affluence which* is to be expect-
ed with the.addition of these
new flights."o. T.
Acapulco ■ mayor said the di-
rect flights to Acapulco will
double or triple the number of
tourists going to the Pacific re-
sort city.

Deep Sea Trawler
Picks Up Torpedo;
Afraid Carry It
PORTSMOUTH. Virginia— A
deep sea trawler has picked up
a torpedo off the Virginia Coast,
but has delayed bringing it
aboard because of fear of setting
it off. Another trawler was
blown to bits when it found a
torpedo in a similar incident last
month only 60 miles from the
scene of today’s catch. That
blast cost eight lives. The “New
Bedford” has told the Goast
Guard she is rigging the net
containing the torpedo to a fish-
ing bouy and is retiring to a
safe distance.
by 12:00 with arrival home ex-,
pected before 1:00 a.m.
B. Informal dances shall end
by 11:00—Home by 12:00.
C. Parties shall end by 11:00
with arrival home before mid-
night.
D. All “in town” school night
activities shall end by 10:00 p.m.
with arrival home before 10:30
(School night is defined as a
night prior to a school session
the following day).
E. The only activities approv-
ed for school nights shall be the
school functions, church meets
and youth organizations.
F. When delay occurs or our
plans are changed unexpectedly,
youth should telephone home
with information.
G. Allowances should be made
for special occasions, such as
New Year’s Party and Senior
Prom.
II . HOURS AND DATING
(DATING)—
A. We agree that teenagers
and their parents should decide
in advance on the time of arri-
val home from dates.
B. Boys should be encouraged
to meet the parents of his date
and discuss expected time of ar-
rival home.
C. Some teenagers enjoy “go-
ing steady” for friendly com-
panionship and furtherance of
mutual interests; however, most
people agree that this custom
definitely limits formation of
new friendships and reduces so-
cial enjoyment. Trading dances
is strongly encouraged for the
purpose of broadening friend-
ships.
D. We encourage some double
dating:
1. More fun
2. More protection
3. Greater development of per-
Lt. Goodwin's
War Yrs. Friend
Visits Kin Here
Fred Harvey, coach at East-
wood High School, a close
friend of the late Lt. James Wes-
ley Goodwin back in World War
II days, paid a visit here recent-
ly to Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Good-
win, his parents. Coach Harvey
was in this area attending the
Coaching School held at Dallas.
Lt. Goodwin was killed at Iwo
Jima Feb. 25, 1945. Mr. and
Mrs. Goodwin said they were
deeply pleased to have the
thoughtful visit by this Texan
i who soldiered with him.
sonalities.
E. By “going steady” it is
understood:
1. Frequent (once a week or
oftener) dating of .he same boy
and girl.
2, Promises to each other they
will date no one else.
3. Acceptance on the part of
their friends that they are to
be dated by no one else.
4. That it is not necessary
to be together between every
class and make daily visits to the
girl’s home.
F. Tragic consequences to
which going steady can lead are:
1. Intimacies, forbidden out-
side of marriage, to which the
growing physical attraction eas-
ily leads.
2. Premature and immature
marriage due to the unwilling-
ness of the persons to wait until
a prudent marriage is possible.
3. Inhibits one’s personality
development.
G, Parents have the obligation
to provide adequate education
in matters of sex, especially in
its purpose and morality, and to
promote wholesome opportuni-
ties for group activities among
young teenagers, in order to re-
move, as far as possible, the
above-named dangers.
H. We agree that “going
steady” limits choice of friends
and is morally dangerous.
1. Steady daters should be ma-
ture enough so their conduct
would not be obnoxious to oth-
ers.
I. Single dates are discouraged
for freshmen and sophomores.
Group activities are recommend-
ed for all, even for Juniors and
Seniors.
J. Young people should be in-
structed at an early age that
steady dating is related to a
possible and prudent marriage.
Moreover, they should not be
thrust into activities that pro-
mote going steady before it is
proper.
DRIVING
I. DRIVING—Some of us are
not old enough to drive. We feel
that our parents should approve
the transportation arrangements
both to and from social func-
tions, sports events, etc. Finally,
we must remember that we
share with our parents the re-
sponsibility for our behavior at
all times.
A. These good things are for
our own personal safety, and
welfare and for the good of the

Swindlers Are
At Work on SS
Ins. Benefits
“Swindlers are already at work
involving Social Security Health
Insurance Benefits,” John E.
Dickenson, Dallas district man-
ager, warned today.
Persons impersonating Social
Security representatives have
contacted people in Dallas and
San Antonio offering health in-
surance protection under Social
Security at a cheaper rate if
they sign up immediately rather
than at a later date.
“If you are approached by
anyone attempting this swindle,
call the Social Security District
Office, the FBI, and the local po-
lice giving a full description of
the persons contacting you,”
emphasized Dickenson. The So-

Pay Increase for
Armed Forces
WASHINGTON. (AP). — The
Senate Armed Serviced Commit-
tee unanimously approved to-
day a $1,000,000,000 annual pay
increase for the 2,700,000 per-
sons now on duty in the nation’s
fighting forces. The committee
made a number of changes i n
the House-approved measure—
but kept virtually the same dol-
lar total. This is more than
twice the amount the
stration had asked.
Included in the
admini-
broad
measure—which now moves t o
the Senate for indicated approv-
al—is a $10 a month increase
in special combat pay—f r o m
$5'5 to $65—for men and offic-
ers now in the Viet Nam fight-
ing areas.
Also included is an admini-
stration request for a cosJof-
living increase in the retire-
ment pay now going to some
400,000 former military person-
nel. It is expected to be three
or four per cent or more.
All officers, both commis-
sioned and warrant—with more
than two years service would
get a six per cent boost in base
pay.
All enlisted personnel would
get an 11 per cent increase.
More liberal House increas
es for both officers and enlisted
personnel with less than two
years service were retained.
House povisions for quadrup
ling bonus for re-enlistment o'
certain skilled technicians and
specialists also were approved.

the 100 state finalists of the
United States, to participate in
a teen-forum.
They will hear outstanding
speakers, participate in discus-
sions, all centered around the
theme of “Responsibility to
America.”
“The dates of the Forum in
Washington are August 18, 19,
20. Teen-agers win be flown to
Washington by United Airlines
returning on August 21. In
Washington they will stay at the
Sheraton Park Hotel, where the
sessions will be conducted.
In addition to the Forum ses-
sions, visits will be made to Na-
tional Monuments, the White
House, the Capitol, and so on.
From the 100 finalists, two
will be selected for the Grar-d
National Award—a three week,
all expense tour of Russia, Po-
land, and Czechoslovokia, and
other countries of Western Eur-
ope. It is hoped that in this way
teen-agers will better under-
stand their American heritage,
the sponsoring Rexall clubs point
out.
It is a distinct honor to be
selected as a State Finalist, for
only two were selected from the
many thousands of entries in
each of the 50 States.
