jurors, the examining of jurors,
wording of indictments and other
procedural rules were suggested
by the speaker who said similar
changes had been apporved for
Federal courts.
Changes could be made by the
legislature, the supreme court, the
court of criminal appeals or an
appointment body under the court,
he pointed out.
We want no doubt in our con-
victions but there is no reason
why every case should be reversed
because of the possibility of some
technical error,” he declared.
Texas has become a criminals’
paradise because of the strict in-
terpretation of the law, he de-
clared, citing the number of cases
reversed by higher courts of the
sate because of minor or clerical
errors which could have been cor-
rected by amendments or changes
to the, charges or indictments.

duced Judge Stout.

Ennis Band Parents Club held
its monthly meeting Monday night
at the bandhouse, with Mrs. Har-
ry J. Stone, president, presiding
over the business session. Mrs.
Stone announced that Mrs. Jack
Bartlett, treasurer, had asked that
her resignation be accepted, and
the organization regretfully accept-
ed it. Mrs. H. G. Self was elected
to fill the unexpired term.
A financial report was given,
and ways were discussed to raise
the rest of the money for the new
uniforms. O. A. Grant has receiv-
ed information from the company
saying that they will be shipped in
about two weeks. It was announc-
ed that the new shakos would be
worn at the last football game, but
on account of the weather, Mr.
Hendricks thought it best that the
band not wear them.
Members of the Band Parents
Club expressed their thanks to the
dealers who have helped secure
drinks, candy, popcorn, etc., for
the booth this season, as there
has been such a shortage of items
and all dealers contacted have
helped secure such a good supply.
Mrs. M. L. Carleston, buyer, an-
nounced that the Band Parents
Club would have a baggage car
in the middle of the special train
going to Denison Friday night, and
that candy, cigars, doughnuts,
home-made sandwiches, apples and
cold drinks would be sold going to
Denison and also on the return
trip. This is the first special train
in several years, and it is hoped
that a large number of Ennis fans
will make the trip.
sales used passenger cars may be

Grande Building, Dallas, Texas.

November in order to transfer re-
cords to the District Office and

Motion picture success hasn’t
changed Lucille Ball, according to
director William A. Heiter.
The actress did a brief role for
the director some years ago in
‘‘Roberta"’ when she was just get>
ting a foothold in Hollywood. She
is co-starring for him currently in
Universal's ‘‘Lover Come Back,”
with George Brent and Vera Zo-
rina.
The zestful new comedy, written
and produced by Michael Fessier
and Ernest Pagano, is now at the
Plaza Theatre.
Lucille worries just as much, says,
Eeiter, works just as hard, if not
harder, and still wears the same
size hat. Physically she is equally
unchanged. ,
Moods Remembered
‘‘She always was a champion
worrier,” the director recalls. “Her
talents in that field have kept
pace with her career. I remember
talking to her before she essayed
hr chaacterization in ‘Roberta,”
trying to convince her she would
be successful, just the proper per-
son for the part. She was con-
cerned about her responsibility, du-
bious over this, apprehensive over
that. But the picture was extrem-
es successful, and did no small
part in giving impetus to Lucille’s
career.
“Working in ‘Lover Come Back,’
she fretted about her interpreta-
tion of a woman seeking to make a
footloose husband jealous. She has
never fiddled with divorce cases
in real life and wondered if she
would be able to handle a po-
tential divorcee properly. She told
me that wit sc many divorces
taking place daily, plenty of wom-
en would be hypercritical of her
role. I watched her work and un-
derline the statement that, as the
one most concerned, she gave a re-
markably fine performance.”
Howard Benedict was the execu-
tive producer of “Lover Come
Back.”
Betty Verlaine
Named Officer of
College Drama Club
The following article was taken
from a Columbia, Mo., paper:
“Miss Betty Lou Verlaine and
Miss Zoe Perryman were elected
temporary president and secretary,
respectively, of the Christian Col-
lege Drama Club at a recent meet-
ing.
Thirty members attended the
first meeting and planned to re-
organize the Mary Arden Club
which is open to all Christian Col-
lege students interested in any
phase of the stage. The club is
sponsoring several social functions,
including two one-act plays to be
given before Christmas.
The first play, “Sunday Costs
Five Pesos,” by Marguerite Nic-
coli, is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Sun-
day, November 17. Following the
play, there will be a tea dance in
the Hughes Hall reception room
for members and their dates. Miss
Mary ■ Waters is director of the
club.”
Miss Verlaine is the daughter
of Mrs. Rosemary Verlaine, and
the grand-daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. M. Littleton of Ennis. She
graduated from Ennis High School
last May.

me immediately, they may attend
this entertainment and their name
