CLAUDE, ARMSTRONG COUNTY. TEXAS, FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1933.
NUMBER 11.

Armstrong Co. | N W Texas Con-
Red Cross drive ference Metho-
A Big Success dist Church
In their Drive to assist the Red
Cross The Armstrong county la-
dles did excellent work last Sat-
urday, considering the depression
that has done much to keep those
willing to pny their dollar from
doing so.
Our National Red Cross has
done much for Armstrong county,
and we should help the cause as
much as we possibly can. A car
load of flour was given this county
along with many ready made gar-
ments and cloth with which to
make other garments which were
given to the poor and needy.
Thanks are due Mrs. Ida M.
Thomas, and many others who
have given freely of their time
and money in making the Red
Cross a real benefit to the poor
of this county. Without such liber-
al hearted people the red cross
would not be what it is to-day.
The Newspaper men of this
country do as much if not more
for the Red Cross than any other
line of business. They usually give
from $25 to $50 worth of adver-
tising and some cash too. even
if they have to borrow It. If a
newspaper man does not give up
some cash he is called "Stingy".
and If he does not give up from
$25 to $50 worth of advertising,
he Is "Tight" and does not adver-
tise the Red Cross like other
papers do. The Claude News start-
ed this advertising week before
last and ended it last week, just
before the Red Cross drive went
on. We are for the Red Cross
and believe it is doing a great
work for the Nation, helping those
who have met with misfortune and
those whom disaster has overtak-
en. Success to The Red Cross and
may it live forever.

Rev John H Crow, who took
the pastorage of the Methodist
church at McLean, Texas, follow-
ing Bi'o. Wilkin.., who held that
charge three years ago, comes troin
McLean to Claude, and is the
new pastor of the First Methodis!
church at Claude. Rev. Ctow is
said to be a very fine l'ellow. a
good preacher and this editor be-
lieves this town will learn to love
Crow, as time passes by. especial-
ly the Methodist people.
Rev. Wilkins. who pastored the
Claude church the past three
years goes to the Firjt, Metho-
dist church at Quanah. a town
of five or six thousand people,
and we understand that Bro.
Wilkin's salary will be about
double what the Claude church
was able to pay him. As far as
this editor is concerned—and he
always appreciated his many
friends among the Good Metho-
dists of Claude—Rev. Wilkins
never made a single failure hi
preaching for the Claude church.
Bro. Wilkins is an able speaker,
a good aeroionizer and always
held his audience well each time
he preached for the Claude
church. We regiet to see him go.
for he is a very likable fellow,
and did a wonderful work for
this church, adding 115 members
during his work at Claude. Our
very best wishes follow Bro. Wil-
kins and his estimable wife and
son, Neal. and Daughter, Anna-
dell. They will be missed at
Claude.

MISS ELLIE ROLLIGAN I
Miss Ellit' Holligan. who camel
to Claude more than two years,
ago. to take charge of The Claude j
Telephone Exchange—Southwest-
ern As.-ociated Telephone Company!
—as chief Operator, is still with!
us and has proven herself to be ■
a very successful and entergetic;
business lady and has made many j
friends at Claude Below you will
find a poem which tells what the
telephone girl knows about some
towns;
THE TELEPHONE GIRL
The telephone girl sits in her
chair.
And listens to voices from every-
where
SI10 knows all the gossip, she
knows all the news,
She knows who is happy and
.-Ho has the blues.
She knows all our sorrows, she |
knows all o.ir joys.
She knows all the girls who are
chasing the boys.
And site knows the excuses each
fellow employs.
She knows all our troubles, she
knows all our strife
She knows every man who is
mean to his wife.
If the telephone girl should tell
half that she knows,
It would turn all our friends into
bitterest foes.
She would sow a small wind that
would soon be a gale.
t'ngulf us in trouble and land us
in jail.
3he could start forth a story
which gaining in force
•Vould cause many wives to sue
for divorce.
^he could get our churches mixed
up in fight,
\n.d turn our days into sorrowing
night.
n fact, she could keep the whole
town in a stew,
rf she just told one-tenth of the
things she knew.
"lee! but don't it just make your
head whirl,
When you think what you owe
your telephone girl?
:0:
Wifey—There are times when I
wish I were a man.
Hubby -When?
Wifcy—Right now, for Instance
when I pass a milliner's win-
dow and see what precious bar-
gains there are and think how
i happy 1 could make my little
I wife by giving her a new hat.
More than one hundred visitors \
from the various sections of the

resented by our own beloved Rev
J. R. Hicks, who brought a fin"
message on "Some Joys Along the
Way".
All the speakers who were as- j
signed parts on the program were
present save two and each was at
his best. There was not a dull
moment throughout the day The
noon hour found the local ladies
ready to serve the near two hun-
dred with a most wholesome meal,
which was served in a very satis-
factory way. for which they re-
ceived a rising vote of thar.ks
by the visitors. The meeting was
closed with a series of prayers
and by the singing of Blest Be
the Ties That Bind ".

all of which were very good.
Dr Liverforever was on hands

! duce the fatrst lady down to that
beuutiful Grecian blend, or bring
the skin-flint, skin and Bones up
to where she would look like she
was moulded into the most fas-
tidious Parris gown. Those wishing
10 reduce were induced to "Jump
j ihe rope' and when 17 ladies be-
\ gun to try to jump the rope a-
j bout half dozen of them fell flat
| in the floor, which caused a
! hearty laugh from the audience
| along with the players. Yes. "Crazy
' to Reduce" was O K and those
who did not attend missed lots
: of fun Only 5c and 10c was
charged and this money goes
