way, David Bosher, Randy
Brown, Danny Templeton,
Miss Connatser, Kathy Jones,
and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Per-
menter Jr.
The local FFA boys will
have a stock show here the
week prior to the Quadrangle
Stock Show to be held March
10-11 at De Soto.
A special open house will be
held from 8:30 a.m. to noon
Saturday at Northwood Insti-
tute in Cedar Hill.
The open house has been
planned by the college to give
residents of the area an oppor-
tunity to see the campus and
facilities of Northwood.
This is the Institute’s first
year of operation on its Texas
campus.
“We hope many of the people
of this area will visit us during
the open house to get a first-
hand look at what we have
accomplished during our ini-
tial year," Dr. C. H. Schauer,
provost, said. “Members of
our faculty and staff will be
on hand on this day to answer
questions and acquaint visi-
tors with our programs."
Special letters of invitation
have gone out to many of the
area’s business and civic
leaders in connection with the
open house. However, the
affair is open to the public,
and all residents of the area
are invited to attend.
Northwood’s campus is
about a mile west of Cedar
Hill. The entrance is on FM
1382.
Imagine, if you can, an auto-
mobile accident involving a
chid, any child, perhaps even
your c*vn.
Would you know what to do
to prevent the victim from
losing too much blood, or to
prevent shock? Or would you
ki 'o do until the doc-
tor arrived if your child were
badly burned or ate a bottle
of children's aspirin?
If the answer to any or all
of these questions is “no,”
then Ben Golden, chairman of
a PTA sponsored First Aid
Course, feels that this course
was planned with you in mind.
The five-week course will
be held from 7:30 p.m. to9:30
p.m. each Tuesday, beginning
March 7 at the High School

We watched the Dallas NIP
(Neighborhood Improvement
Projects) with a great deal of
Interest last weekend as teen-
agers and the young at heart
did more than Just discuss the
looks of their community.
Most of us who drive through
the streets of Cedar Hill many
'times each week can’t help but
see the many areas In our town
that need to be Improved.
We've been wondering If
perhaps It might take the teen-
agers to show us the way.

patrolmen with the Texas De-
partment of Public Safety, will
speak and give a Marksman-
ship Exhibition at the first
meeting of the Cedar Hill Jay-
cee's annual Shooter’s Educa-
tion Program to be held at
7:30 p.m. March 7 at the Ele-
mentary School Gym.
The Shooter's Education
program, a national effort by
Jaycees to promote and teach
safe gunmanship to the young-
sters across the nation, will
be directed by chairman Wil-
lard Murdock and a committee
composed of J. T. Sims, Mar-
shall Smith and David Farrell.
It is co-sponsored by Daisy
Manufacturing Co.
The program is open to all
boys and girls 7 to 14 years
of age and instructs in all
phases of good gun usage and
proper gun handling in a B-B
gun course. It concludes with
a Jaycee Shooting league in
which boys and girls will par-
ticipate in regulation team
match competition.
Murdock said the program
is the most comprehensive
shooting program ever pro-
vided for youngsters.
“All boys and girls,” Mur-
dock stressed, “are eligible
and go through an extensive
but interesting weekly series
of lessons on all phases of
careful gun handling and
shooting.”
Boys and girls 7 to 14 years
of age can enroll by using this
registration - blank and by
bringing it to the gym next
Monday night.
All parents are urged to
come and learn about this pro-
gram.
Cedar Hill has much reason
to be proud of this project
since a team of five young-
sters from their project won
the state shooting competition
and represented Texas in the
International Shoot-Offs held
in Dayton, Ohio.
