Disappointed Scouts Hear
News Jamboree Is Called
Off By President F. D. R.
Disappointed East Texas Boy
Scouts were making their rounds
trying to console themselves this
week—some with a bit oi' optim-
ism and hope—following the an-
nouncement from President
Franklin LJ. Koosevelt that the
25fth anniversary Jamboree will
not be held in Washington, D. C.
The president called the Jam-
boree because of an epidemic of
infantile paralysis in that vicinity.
Perhaps the most discouraged
and down-hearted of them all was
Scoutmaster Vernon R. Roach at
his office in the courthouse. Mr.
Roach had made extensive plans
for the trip and citizens recently
showed their appreciation of him
by making up $104 for his trip
t0 the Scout meeting.
L. S. Barkey, scout executive,
eaid:
"While it is a great disappoint-
ment, yet we all have explicit con-
fidence in the judgment of Presi-
dent in canclling the National
Jamboree. We are consolled by
the fact that it was far better in
cancelling the event at this time
rather than run into an epidemic
that would cause come of you

you to brace up and take it like

for the best."
Mr. Harkey said that he frank-
ly believes that another date will
be set, when the weather gets cool-
er, probably when the epidemic
ends. He asserted that it would be
advisable to give school leave for
this occasion.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. JOHN SOLOMON, Pastor
Gather around all you little
children, and you others who have
not been here a.- long as 1 have
and let me tell you of the city of
Rusk, in the past.
It was not the city that it now
is when 1 first beheld it. I don't
think i called itself a city in those
early days. 1 know it was not in-
corporated1 when I first knew it.
It had at one time been incorpor-
ated, but during the New Birm-
Wigham boo. mttyl incorporation,
was renewed and extended one-
half mile each way.
Let's start at the court house
to tell you how the old town look-
ed. It was a brick building 1
think. I know the little building
at the corner was standing then as
now. The court house had two
open halls extending from east to
west and from north to south. We
young people used to gather there
and have our dances during the
summer time.
Our orchestra was Mr. Peacock
("Uncle Dock") with his violin
and sometimes some one else to
pick the banjo. We thought we had
music then, and we did, but not
of as great a volume as the pres-
ent day orchestras.
When Mr. Cobble, (Dr. Tom's
grandfather) put up his brick
store, the men who built it had a
lot
Since the National Jamboree
at Washington was cancelled, the
pastor will not be away next Sun-j
day. So there will be regular ser-
vices.
The sermon subject Sunday
morning will be, "Championship
Flight." Everyone is cordially in-
vited to attend.

Spencer's copy-book. I became
proficient in spelling and mental
arithmetic. At the age f 14 I en-
tered my first grade school at
Mexia, in the Gth grade, and saw
my first sentence diagramed.
After the Mexia tchool I worked
tw0 years for Smith, Ross and Ken
nedy, a general merchantile firm
of Mexia, then went to Austin
college where I graduated in 1899
with the degree of A. B.
that church at Mexia at the age
of twelve.
The next fall after receiving
my A. B., I entered Union Theol-
ogical Seminary at Richmond,
Vjrginia, where I graduated in
May, 1902, with the degree of
Bachelor of Divinity. During the
summer ofT900 I preached in and
around Morganton, North Caro-
lina, to four appointments.. The
Galveston storm came in Septem-
ber of that year, just before I re-
turned to Richmond. fTh* next
vacation I preached' for the Uni-
versity Presbyterian church in
Austin. On myway back to. Rich-
mond in September 1901, I heard
of the assassination of President
McKinley. In my graduating year
I was offered the pastorate of the
Southern Presbyterian church in
Greenville, Texas, but declined it
and went to a home mission field
in and around Ada, Indian Terri-
tory, where I remained four years,
preaching at Ada, Madill, Stone-
wall, Allen and Star Grove. Dur-
inng that pastorate two church
houses were erected, one at Ada
and one at Madill and four chur-
ches organized.
While pastor at Ada I was or*
dained to the full work of the min-
istry by Indian Presbytery, at Ada.
The ordination prayer was in
Chickasaw.
On January 1, 1903, I was mar-
ried in Dallas to Miss Minnie D.
Kincaid, and the first of our six
children was born in Ada.
In the spring of 1906 I accepted
a call to Durant, Indian Tei'ritory,
where I was pastor three years.
During this pastorate Oklahoma
was received as a state.
In the spring of 1909 I accepted
the work of Superintendent of
Missions for Paris Presbytery and
moved to Ladonia, Texas, and
later to Mt. Pleasant. This work
was retained till the spring of
1914, when I voluntarily resigned
it and gave up the Presbyterian
Dallas, Texas, Aug. 13, 1935.
Many young people are now find-
ing inspiring opportunities in
banks, wholesale houses, with var-
ious government recovery agencies
and other big employers as a res-
ult of a fw pleasant months spent,
in Draughon's Business College of
thiis city, according to the Employ-
ment Report just released. In one
PWA office alone a number of
graduates have accepted excellent
positionp, with) attractive begin-
ning salaries, during the past few
days; and hundreds of other work-
ers will be needed by this and
other government agencies as
projects develop.
With business and crop condi-
tions the most promising in many
years, young people with the fore-
sight to prepare will find the op-
portunities of a life-time awaiting
them through the far-reaching
Draughon placement facilities.
Those who, are interested in
business careers are invited to
write for Catalog C showing train-
ing and time required, low cost,
methods of placing graduates, a
long list of recent placements, and
starting date of classes. A post-
card will do.
