WINDTHORST SEAMAN
RECOVERING FROM SURGERY
Mrs. A. J. Meurer of Windthorst
was a pleasant News office visitor
Monday. Mrs. Meurer stated that
their son, Dave, seaman, has been
convalescing nicely in the Naval
Hospital at Corona, Calif., where
he underwent an emergency ap-
pendectomy Dec. 28. They knew
nothing of the operation until
Dave was able to write them about
It. He had enjoyed visiting Christ-
mas Day and the "hext day with
Jimmy Green and wife, the form-
er Evelyn Berend, both also of
Windthorst and sU^ioned at Camp
Pendleton, Calif.

both legs and sustained other se-
severe bodily in juries. From a let-
ter written to Mr. and Mrs. Hoff-
man in Scotland by a Catholic
chaplain, Francis J. Reilly, we
quote:
“It was only by the grace of
God that Robert is alive today.
He was one of three airmen who
was loading a plane with ammu-
nition when one of the bombs ex-
ploded and a large fire was start-
ed.-One of the men was killed out-
right, and the other one lost both
legs and was seriously wounded
on other parts of the body. Your
boy lost his right leg, but other-
* 'wise is in excellent condition. Rob-
ert was pulled out of the danger
zone and certain death by the
heroic act of a Captain Hayes.
“Please believe me that Robert
is in excellent condition, both phy-
sically and mentally. The doctors
assured me that Robert has the
most excellent chance to use a
prosthesis and thereby be physical-
ly fit for the future. I know that
the loss of a leg is a grave injury,
but medical science has and is do-
ing wonderful work in the field
of artificial limbs. I feel that Rob-
ert will be alright because of that.
“Again, be assured that Robert
will be given the best of care and
that at present he is doing fine.
You can be proud of Robert. The
doctors and nurses who are taking
care of him have told me repeat-
edly what a fine boy he is. I am
proud of him and I know that you
are."

Joe Guessed. The penines were
poured into the jar from a total of
1500 of ’em and Eustace was given
all of the 1500 as an award.

A REPUBLICAN’S DREAM
Editor’s Note—The following poem was handed to us a few days
ago by Mrs. Buss Lewis, of this city, and was composed by her daugh-
ter’s father-in-law, Harry Daugherty, of Wichita Falls. Daugherty is
a former resident of this city where he edited the old Archer Dispatch
a few years prior to 1919 when The Dispatch was purchased by our late
father and merged with The News. From the tone of the pome we gath-
er that Daugherty’s Democratic head has not softened in the least down
through the years.
The grand Old Party is now in power
With a five star general, the man of the hour.
He’ll clear the place of trash and rats,
j And grafting, thieving Democrats.
And by the magic of his hand,
He’ll make the ages backward stand
so we may see,
How Napoleon took a shattered throne,
And built an empire all alone. v
But Ike says that was not so hot,
He’ll put Old Boney on the spot.
Hell banish war and greed and hate,
H only Taft will cooperate.
He’ll wave his magic wand on high,
And lo! the rain clouds fill the sky.
Then the rain will fall and soak the ground,
And peace and plenty will abound.
Two blades of grass, and maybe three
Will grow where one blade used to be.
The income tax will disappear.
Along with price controls and fear.
But the Dreamer’s dream is troubled
And the smile that lit his face,
Has vanished out in Dreamland
And a frown is in its place.
He sees Ike aboard the Ship of State
With Richard Nixon as his mate.
But a storm is raging from the west.
And the Ship of State must do her best.
For the waves are high, and the 9ea is rough.
And the grand old ship must do her stuff.
Can Ike bring her into port with rebellion in his crew,
Or will she spring a leak and sink, as she did in *32

Cecil, Jr., son of the senior
Fletchers of this city, is also an
honor student, president of the
senior class, has been named three
years as class favorite and has held
class offices all four years in high

for his journalistic composition
probably stems from the fact that
he is both cowboy and rodeo per-

Following is the prize-winning
composition written by Miss Slack

WHAT 1 THINK ABOUT
MY HOME TOWN
I live in a lazy little North Texas
town whose growth is governed
by the number of children who
grow up, marry, and build new
homes. “Progressive," “civic-mind-
ed,” are stock-in-trade phrases of
Chamber of Commerce literature,
but I am afraid (or maybe a little
perversely proud) that they would
be singularly out of place in any
description of my home town.
It is a sleepy, lazy, contented,
little town whose side-walks are
rolled up a nine o’clock each night.
I have heard of towns where a
curfew is rung every night. Such
a practice would be frowned upon
by our town officials. All that noise
might wake people up!
Yes, the town is quiet; the peo-
ple and the peace are undisturbed
that is, for three hundred and sixty
days a year. But those other five
days—Oh, brother! Along about
the end of June every year, all
tarnation turns loose and we have
a rodeo. The town becomes a bed-
lam infested with boisterous, bow
legged, tobacco-chewing cowboys.
Now there- is nothing more mascu-
line looking than an authentic,
lanky, lose-jointed, drawling hunk
of Texas cowboy—but here, come
June, men, women, children, sis-
sies, society leaders, dudes, and
business men all turn “pseudo-
cowpoke.” Children don “Hop-a-
long” hats, and teenagers sport loud
boots and monogrammed belts. Us-
ually conservative business men
drape their portly figures in un-
iquely embroidered cowboy shirts
and striped gamble’s pants. Wo-
men drag out last year’s frontier
britches and let out the seams a
little more. Even babies in arms
are thrust, willy-nilly, into blue
denim diapers and plaid bibs.
Everyone digs up anything with
four legs—from prancing palo-
minos to tired old plow plugs—
and rides it. Yards are plowed up
and fertilized by roaming horses.
Big brass bands march up and
down the street in daily parade.
They are inevitably placed directly
behind the horses. The members
protest every year at indignity of
their position; but nothing is ever
done about it, and the high-step-
ping by the band continues to be
more in the spirit of self-preserva-
tion than rehearsed,routine.
The predominant odors of pop-
corn, snow-cones, barbeque, beer
and sweaty bodies, both human
and equine, combine to make an
oddly irresistible mixture.
It is a little short of sacrilege
at this time of year to admit it,
but a few brave souls frankly con-
fess that they do not enjoy a ro-
deo. that it is uncivilized, inhu-
man, unnecessarily dangerous
sport, and they are having nothing
to do with such goings-on. How-
ever, they usually lack the strength
Out Of School
Due To Influenza
Archer City, as is the case with
much of the state of Texas, is cur-
rently in the grip of a severe fla
epidemic with not only single mem-
bers of f^pilies afflicted but is
some instances the entire famfltau
bedfast at the same time.
School Supt. J. F. Gerron re-
ported today an absenteeism la
the public school of over 120 pu-
pils, or approximately 25% of the
entire enrollment. But, unless the
illness becomes more prevalent, he
hopes to get by without closing the
school.
Dist. Teachers

Plans for the three general see-
sions of the convention were
pleted before January 1, aca
to Miss Sheridan, but it was--
ed this week that R. B. Anderson,
one of the principal convention
speakers will not be able to at-
tend. Anderson, formerly of Vern-
on, was recently named by Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower as Secretary

With the exception of a replace-
ment for Anderson, the program
for the general aessions is com-
plete and will appear in the Feb-
niary issue of the Texas Outlook.
Section and level meeting plans
are expected to be completed thi.e
week. Miss Sheridan said.
Other outstanding educational
leaders on the program at the con-
vention are Dr. Harl R. Douglass,
director of the College of Educa-
tion. University of Colorado: Dr.
J. Cloyd Miller, president of West-
ern New Mexico College and past
oresident of the National Educa-
tion Association; Kate Bell of Hous-
ton. vice-president of the Texas
State Teachers Association: Myrtle
Hembree of Dallas, state director
of N. E. A.; Dr. Evelyn Carrington,
director of Child Development Cen-
ter in Dallas; Dr. R. L. Williams,
superintendent of Corpus Christ!
Public Schools; and Charles Ten-
nyson. executive secretary of T.
S T. A.
More than 2.000 teachers and
administrators from 23 coufttes
are expected to attend the conven-
tion to be held in the Wilbarger
County Memorial Auditorium, re-
cently completed at a cost of a mil-
lion dollars. This is the first time
Vernon has been host for the oc-
casion.
J. B. Golden, superintendent of
Vernon Public Schools, is general
chairman of convention arrange-
ments.
Theme of the convention is “The
Future of Education is Forward.”
The Vernon classroom teachers
are planning a reception following
the general session. Annanelle Cur-
ran of Houston, former Texas
Classroom Teachers Association
president, will be present for the
reception.
District VH officers in addition
to Miss Sheridan are I. C. Evans
of Burkbumett, vica-president; J.
W. Hamilton of Seymour, secre-
tary: and Johnnie Mae Long of

■ The parade, the rodeo, and the
street dance are all a part of our
heritage. We may not always be in
perfect accord with the whole pro-

not give them up fori the world.
