room. A garage for the school's two
new busses has been built.

School Board Not to Ask
Use of Church Buildings
After we had studied the necessity
of an adequate diet in our class we
were thoroughly convinced that it is
the responsibility of the Future
Homemakers to help every family in
our community to plan and serve an
adequate diet.
In order to make the people of the
community conscious of their diet we
are placing posters in windows of the
stores in town and are trying to get
a copy of “Keep Physically Fit,”
which was recommended by the Texas
State Nutrition Committee, into every
home. We hope that every' family will
cooperate in building a strong com-
munity and strengthen our natitonal

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
As a testimony of our sorrow,
sympathy and loss caused by the re-
cent death of J. Thos. Robinson, wc
want to write in the minutes of the
trustees of the Moses Hubbard estate
the following memorial.
With the passing of J. Thos. Rob-
inson the Alla school lost a real edu-
cator, for his life history tells the
story of active and valuable leader-
ship in the educational field.
He was extremely loyal to the du-
ties bestowed upon him as secretary
and treasurer of the estate. He was
a Christian gentleman and an educa-
tor of the highest type.
No honors that vve may render, no
eulogies that we may utter can reach
into the far-away mysterious realm
to which the spirit of our dead is
gone. Nor can the blaze in ail our eu-
logy burn beside the sunlight of a
useful life. He needs no mausoleum to
perpetuate his memory. His monu-
ment is immortal and more immuta-
ble than bronze, being engraved up-
on the hearts of his fellow men.
We would rather think of him as
carrying on in the other land, where
with mind and spirit freed from mor-
tal clay, he shall gather happiness,
wisdom and instruction from the in-
exhaustible treasure house of God,
while the years of eternity roll.
