PATTER
Of Interest to The Ladies
A recent Canadian visitor has been Miss Gay Shepard, a
field worker for the Girl Scouts of America. Miss Shepard
talked with various local people concerning the possibility of
organizing a Girl Scout troop here and will be back on Friday,
May 16th to meet with interested parents at 1:30 in the home
of Mrs. W. R. Hext at 700 Seventh street. All interested parents,
particularly mothers, are urged to be present at this meeting.
Those who are unable to attend the meeting but wish to voice
their interest in the project are asked to call Mrs. Hext at
306-W or Mrs. Ben Ezzell at 745. In this way, it will be possible
to have some idea of the amount of enthusiasm for the idea.
It has seemed to me for some time that a great deal is done
for the boys in Canadian in the way of sports activities and
Scouting, but very little organized activity has been planned
for our girls. Many of them are busy with dancing or music
lessons and some of the older girls take an active part in
school athletic activities. But for many of our girls there is no
activity planned at all for after school hours, times when they
could be learning handcrafts and elementary cooking, times
when they should be enjoying the wonderful country around
them with planned hikes and camp-outs, times when they
should be learning the fellowship of singing and playing to-
gether.
I once heard a Boy Scout worker declare that he never had
heard of a boy who became a First Class Scout later get into
trouble, rather those boys become tomorrow's leaders in the
good things in a community. The same could probably be said
for girls who have spent the formative years of their lives in
the splendid planned activities of Girl Scouting—they become
the homemakers, the teachers, the churchworkers and con-
scientious mothers of tomorrow's children.
It will be happy news for many of Canadian's daughters if
a Girl Scout troop is organized. Girls from 7 to 17 are eligible
for membership, so if you have a daughter in that age group
plan to attend the meeting next Friday, May 16th.

Have you tried the Swansdown Lemon Chip Angel Food
Cake? It is particularly good. Virginia Rogers serves it with a
glazed frosting made with melted butter, lemon or orange juice
and a box of powdered sugar. Try it some time for a quick and
easy dessert for family or guests.

The best way to prevent ero-
sion in the Hemphill County
Soil Conservation District is to
keep the land covered with
vegetation. However, there are
many farms in the district
which cannot do this because
of fallowing or using erosion-
permitting crops such as cot-
ton, silage or bundle feeds.
Strip Cropping is a practice
that will allow protection
from both wind and water
erosion where complete cover
cannot be maintained. Strips
can be put on contour, across
the prevailing wind direction,
or in borders around field.
The width of the strips will
depend upon the erodibility of
the soil. Strips can be from 4
to 6 normal rows wide and up
to 200 feet wide. The area in
strips should range from 20
per cent to 50 per cent of the
total area of the field.
Strip cropping is not a sin-
gle practice. It should be used

with a good rotation of crops
and stubble mulch. Such a
farming system should pro-
vide maximum protection
from erosion.
Crops such as native grass-
es, alfalfa, clovers, small
grains and grain sorghums
can be successfully used in
the strips. Strips should be ro-
tated every year on annual
crops and every 4-5 years
when perennial crops are used
in the strips.
Strip cropping has been suc-
cessfully used on the Bob
Markham farm near Allison.

Do You Murder Sleep?
Here is the recipe pome people
tase to murder sleep: for ordinary
jitters and bad dreams, one cold
pork sandwich eaten after hiid-
nite; for the impression of a horse-
rsce over the chest and around the
bed, lobster salad and a piece of
mince pie; for a troupe of fear-
some hobgoblins with blue lights
shining out of empty eye sockets,
cold turkey, raw onion, cheese,
pickled pig's feet, fruit cake, and
assorted nuts. Insomnia is basi-
cally a neurological disorder, but
nervous disorders can be accentu-
ated by improper bedtime diet,
i If you take your troubles to bed
with you right after seeing one of
those television murder mysteries,
you may even struggle with a mys-
terious gray lady complete with
groans, or struggle with a grue-
some specter with his head under
his arm.
> Dreamless, refreshing sleep is
partly a reward for sensible diet.
You can abstain from food and
drink longer than you can do with-
out sleep. Slow down before bed-
time; avoid fatigue and learn to
relax. Count your bedtime calories
and you won't have to count sheep.
Regularity is important, but
avoid harsh purgatives. Be con-
scious of your waistline, and re-
member your entire nervous sys-
tem'is "served" through the spine.
If you are edgy, nervous, and
dread going to bed, get a chiroprac-
tic checkup to relieve the tension
and to assure the normal flow of
nerve energy to all parts of the
body. Above all, under no circum-
stances whatsoever, take barbitu-
rates or any other kind of "tran-
quilizers," which bring tranquility
to drug manufacturers By swelling
their bank accounts, but will brinjr
the patient only the dreadful
symptoms of drug addiction.
