munity building due to the Fair
activities, Mrs. W. R. Oswalt,

■ Hi Dee Do Dee,
Please—somebody—make up
break up — start going steary,
elope, hit a cop over the head or
something so I'll have something
to write about. Sure 'nuf, kids
don't you want your name in
print? If you do let me know
about something you're doing or
did so I can write you up in the
paper.
Wasn't the rain wonderful—
except for those of us who had
been blissfully wearing our sum-
mer clothes, when WOW, all of
a sudden it was winter. Here it
was time to go to the Youth
Center and everything warm
enough to wear was packed
away In moth balls. Uh Huh,
that was the unusual odor we
all smelled that night.
The band will be a busy bunch
this Friday. First we'll march in
the Fair parade and then rush to
leave for Tahoka to watch our
Indians smash those Bulldog.^
Say, have you noticed that big
smile on Mr. Walkers face? Well
he has a good reason for it. I
went out and took a look at that
newliaby boy of his, and he looks
just like him—lucky baby,
The football boys have been
having their little secret meet-
ings this week to elect their foot-
ball queen. At this writing we
aren't sure as to who the queen
will be, we do know that, it will
be one of five. The other four
will be her duchesses. They are
Sue Burrows, Albernita Braden,
Juanell McReynoids, Carolyn
Folk and—Me, I'm sure that all
of the other girls share my opin-
ion of this as it being about one
of the highest honors a girl
could get.
That's It for today, see you
next week.

A new nylon and cotton yarn with

color to high fashion fabrics. The
spun "Nyfoyle" yarn is shown above

eted by a striped bolero. The slim en-
semble will keep its fresh look as the
new blend of cotton and Du Pont
