The second regular meeting of the
P. T. A. was held'on Nov. 19. After
the meeting was called to order by
the president, the minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved. Af-
terwards an interesting program was

iness meeting was held after which a
social hour was enjoyed by all. The

time often difficult. It is a pleasure
to accept copy late when it is known

not create smiles.
Three special trains were run by
the Santa Fe Railroad company Mon-
day from points south; starting at
and beyond Temple. The occasion was
to carry school children, their teach-
ers, parents and others to the great
Centennial Exposition at Dallas for
a day of sightseeing as well as edu-
cational and historical information
that was in evidence from every view-
point. 385 tickets were sold at the
Clifton ticket office; one of the special
trains starting out from the Clifton
depot with the other two specials fol-
lowing in ten minutes of each other.
The weather was not so favorable as
other days have been on account of
rain and cold; however, it is said that
the pleasures of those making the
trip did not seem marred in any re-
spect and all appeared to enjoy every
minute of the time.
CONDEMNATION SUIT
POSTPONED BY RAIN
Belton, Nov. 24.—Condemnation
suits by Bell county against A. C.
Buchanan and Sam G. Garth Jr. were
passed until Friday when they were
called Monday. Rainy weather pre-
vented inspection of the land in ques-
tion. »r.
The suits involve right-of-way for
state highway 153, between Belton
and Moody, these two tracts being the
only ones not acquired between Bel-
ton and McLennan county. This road
which has been in controversy for the
past sevjral weeks, has been the basis
of an injunction suit filed by citizens
who sought to halt the purchase of
land for the routing. Judge Few Brew-
ster refused to halt the proceedings,
when the case came up in the Bell
County district court.

THE MARCH OF SCIENCE
Science can not detect or measure
difference in thickness of one-mil-
lionth of an inch, but, according to
Dr. .Katherine B. Blodgett of the re-
search staff of the General Electric
Company at Schenectady, the human
eye can.
If you are not color blind and you
note a red ring and a yellow ring in
a film of oil on water you are detect-
ing a film thickness difference of one-
millionth of an inch.
The difference in colors is caused
by the interference with one another
of the many rays of light as they are
reflected from and through the vary-
ing thickness of the oil film.

As developed up to now, and not
necessarily as it finally will be, tele-
vision transmits on ultra-high fre-
quencies a picture having 343 lines.
That is to say, the transmitting ap-
paratus scans the picture 343 times.
The 24 such pictures are transmitted
each second, to give the effect of mo-
tion. .
Visual broadcasting in the field is
being studied in New York City. Stat-
has been eliminated, but high fre-
quency interference remains and there
little hope that television will be-
come a household commonplace until
several more years’ work has been
done.

out of commission, but scientists and
engineers are by no means convinced
that the idea of the Smithsonian
Institution’s secretary is impractical.

Do we qtill think of Thanksgiving
Day as a day for thanking God for
the many blessings which He has ber^|
stowed upon us? Do we th*nk Him^
for a good town, a good State, a good
nation, and for good health, love and
happiness? Too often we think of
Thanksgiving Day merely as a day
on which we have a holiday from
work, an unusual dinner, a ball game
in the afternoon and some large cele-
bration at night to put on the finish-
ing touches. In the excitement of the
day we have forgotten entirely the
original purpose of Thanksgiving Day.
How will you spend your Thanks-
giving Day? Will you be busy car-
rying out the plans made for the day
or will you remember the many bless-
ings God has given you and thank Him
for them ? M.T.
