ious memories. Associated with th
noblest of human sentiment are
thoughts of making mother happy on
her day. Throughout the country this
spirit is manifested by sending letters,
gifts, greeting cards, flowers, nnd oth-
er suitable remembrances.
A letter or package to mother de-
livered on her day gives its full meas-

PROM OUR EARLY FIEES*
10 YEARS AGO
Junior-Senior Banquet was held at
Hotel Palacios. Ruth Skinner at the
piano nnd Wilbur Pierson, with his
saxaphone furnished wonderful music.
Bruce Berger, president of the Junior
class gave the opening address and
Dorothy Douglas responded for the
Seniors, Fred Thompson, president,
being ill and not able to attend. Cora
Anna. Hendricks read the prophecy
of the senior class.
Collegeport had a killing, when a
negro woman was stubbed to death by
u negro man, named Ewing Haynes.
“Midsummer Night’s Dream’’ was
presented by members of the P. H. S.
Senior Class.

issuance of bonds for opening the

to the mothers of America, n special

3-cent di^fcjJaPjjon, bearing a repro-
duction ofWYiifmeJ-’s noted “Portrait
of My Mother." These stamps will be
on sale at post offices generally be-

an ordinary letter, or special-delivery
letter, or package, the postage on
which will prefovably be paid by use
of the special Mothers’ Day stamps.
Since there is no regular delivery on
Sunday, the use of Special-Delivery
Service on this day should be em-
phasized. The special-delivery fee
may be paid by means of special com-
memorative stamps in connection with
the endorsement, “Special Delivery”
below the stamps. Such articiles may
be endorsed ‘Deliver on Mothers’ Day.’
Different establishments handling
Mothers’ Day supplies will no doubt
carry supplies of Mothers’ Day stamps.
One postmaster has suggested that
it would be a wonderful tribute to the
mothers of America to have their
children in school write letters to them
for delivery on or before Mothers’
Day, the postage to be prepaid by the
Mothers’ Day Stamp. Postmasters
may, when practicable, bring this to
the attention of superintendents and
teachers of public, private, and paro-
chial schools.
A program for the Victory Loan
Drive was carried out and two of the

field near the Old Preachers Home,
which had been put in shape under
the direction of John E. Wolf and
Oliver Ifland, two ex-EUington Field
men. The flyers gave their part of
the program and took up for short
flights, Misses Claire Hansen, Anita
Waters and Mariana Elder and Jimmy
gpeers. A baby tank was also here,
manned by three men who saw active
duty overseas.
The Palacios Pavilion, under man-
agement of A. D. Abbott and George

givings, sales based on the genuine
serving of customers, consideration by
employers for employees which makes
it possible for them to earn more and
thus to spend more for themselves,
and a high standard of honor in in-
ternational trade—these are Rotary
practices which are working out new
economic history. Rotary has never
urged its philosophy because of its
money-making possibilities. But its
vocational service program could not
appeal as it has to the business and
professional men who make up its
membership if it were not demonstrat-
ing that its ideal is al*» -F-twAlctA.
In urging the study, development
and practice of vocational service, Ro-
tary shows the way by which business
obtains not only that success which
is expressed in monetary terms, but
also that far richer attainment of self-
respect, the respect of others, and the
satisfaction of having made real con-
tributions to society.
Any successful application of Ro-
tary’s program in vocational service
must be in accord with Rotary’s plan
of organization. Rotary permits but
one member from each vocation in
each community. This does not mean
that the member represents his classi-
fication or vocation in Rotary, because
the members of his classification in
the community have not in any way
selected him to represent them. The
one thing the Rotarian can do an‘d is
expected to do is to represent Rotary
in his vocation. Whatever Rotary suc-
ceeds in accomplishing in vocational
service must be through Rotarians
acting as members of their crafts.
The Rotary club should develop and
encourage its members to become
more interested and efficient in carry-
ing Rotary ideals to the business and
professional wprld and it is to this
end that it is suggested that each Ro-
tary club present each year a number
of programs in which all manner of
questions relating to vocational ser-
vice will be discussed. Then the Ro-
tarian will go back into his own craft,
not as a Rotarian, but as a member
of that craft and by example and in-
fluence promote and extend the es-
tablishment of high ethical standards
for business and professional practice.
Each Rotarian, as an active member
of his craft, will himself determine
the methods by which he will endeavor
to bring about in his business or pro
fession higher standards of practice.
Similarly, each Rotary club should
i work out its own program in vocation-
al service, adapting it to conditions
that exist in its own community and
country and the progress that has
been made by its own members in the
study and promotion of vocational
service. ' .

GOD BLESS THE BOYS
God bless the boys! Yes, all tho boys,
Wherever they may be.

The boy with manly form and mien,
The boy whose mother is his queen—
His future we can see. ,
God bless the bny«, fA.c mutners’ joys,

God bless the boys, the worthy boys,
Whoever they may be.
The boys who dwell in marble halls,
The boys whose lives in tottering walls
Are darkened oft by drunken brawls—
Oh, fervently pray we,
God bless the boys whom sin decoys,
Whoever they may be!
God bless the boys, the noble boys,
Wherever they may be.
Though human nature in them dwell,
Yet search reevals a heart as well—
A heart that noble deeds could tell
Of love and sympathy.
God bless the boys, the noble boys
Wherever they may be!
God bless the boys, the jolly boys,
Whoever they may be!
How dull would be this mundane

Without the boys that we have here!
We all would die of blues, I fear,
For want of fun and glee.
God bless the boys with all their
noise,
Whoever they may be!

C.P.am/L.An/mnces Full Residential Service
Electric Rate -. Current Now As Low As 2?
MAKES POSSIBLE “TOMORROW’S” CONVENIENCE TODAY
Starting with May meter readings, Central
Power and Light Company breaks all preced-
ents for giving it, customers low-cost Electricity
by putting into effect a new "FULL RESI-
DENTIAL SERVICE” electric rate. Thi. rate
is available to every city residential customer
who now has, or installs, a regulation electric
range. Briefly, the rate is as follows: First 21
kilowatt hours of energy, 9c a kilowatt hour;
next 100 kilowatt hours, 4c a kilowatt hour;
git additional use, 2c A KILOWATT HOUR.
Minimum bill, $2.50 a month.
A, an additional feature to the Full Resi-
dential Service rate, C. P. and L. offers a spe- -
, ial Controlled Water Heating Set s ice, with
Electricity as low as lc a KILOWATT HOUR.
This sensationally attractive new rate offers
every customer who does not now have an elec-
tric range a splendid opportunity to operate
one for only a few cents a day and gives to
those who now have ranges a chance to make
greater use of Electric Cookery at lower cost
thin ever A majority of range customers re-
ceive an immediate reduction in the cost of
their present use through the new rate. Every
range customer can make wider use of electric
service for lighting, refrigeration, water heating
and smaller appliances at the lowest average
cost ever enjoyed. In fact, the new rate opens
the way to immediate realization of the conven-
cne of the model home predicted for the future.
What the New Rate Means to These Customers;

trie range, although
•ha hat alwaya made
liberal uae of light-
ing and small appli-
ances. Wjien the new
low rate was ex-
plained to her ahe
immediately ordered
an alactric range. She
plana to add an elec-
trie rafrigerator next
because she now
knows that she can
really afford an all-
electrie kitchen.
Mrs. Jameson—
has an electric re-
frigerator, a washer
and numerous small
appliances. Her bill
runs around $5 to
$6 a month She’s
set on installing a
new model electric
range because nearly
100% of her range
use will come at only
2 CENTS A KILO-
WATT HOUR. Mrs.
Jameson figures she
can operate her range
for about 3 cents a
Mrs. Whitley—
operates an electric
range, and lies long
been "sold” on the
economy of Electric
Cookery. Because of
the FULL RESI-
DENTIAL rate Mrs
Whitley has ordered
a new electric re
Crigerator and fig-
urea it will cost her
family of four (five
during the aummer
when her mother vis-
ile | an average of
only $1.40 a month
for refrigeration.
Mrs. Johnson—
has both an electric
range and electric re-
frigerator. The new
rate will cut her
present cost of op-
eration to auch an
extent that she’a con-
sidering the pur-
chase of an electric
water heater because
then she’ll buy elec-
tricity as low as 1
