Does your child SQUINT?
"1T7HEN you find your child squinting and groaning over his
homework, tnaybe the best you can give him is better light.
You may not realize that the lighting in your home is unsafe for
young eyes. Yet science has discovered that one out of every five
school children suffers from defective vision. A child can “see to
read” — and yet be risking a serious case of eyestrain.
TO AVOID EYESTRAIN SEE THESE APPLIANCES
Make sure your home lighting is sale.
Stop in at your dealers or our office
and look over the wonderful new
I. E. S. lamps designed to protect
eyesight.
See the attractive new “adapters” that transform ugly old glar-
ing fixtures into modern, sight-saving light sources. Don't let
your home he daiigerous for eyes.

Tfc IE AY BE it’s a little hard to
1VX picture this trim Buick as it
will look on that unknown day
when you come to turn it in.
There may be scars in its fenders,
and use-stains on its upholstery—
but the thing that matters is it’ll
still be going great guns.
You can count on that husky valve-
in-head straight-eight to be ticking
off the miles with the satisfying
extra efficiency it now boasts.
You can rely on Compound Car-
buretionf to hold your gas-costs
down, squeezing every last power-
packed mile outof the fuelyou burn.
There won’t be any loss of easy
comfort in those all-coil springs,
or any need for care to keep them
gentle.
As for the drive—well, there’s just
nothing to go wrong with a simple
steel shaft encased in a stout
torque tube!
Tires? You may be through the
second or third set before you’re
finished with any car you buy-
now— but those Buick broad-
rim wheels will see to it
you get the top mileage
each can give.
As for such things as con-
necting rods and bearings—
Buick rods are extra strong, w hile
tests show that our oil-cushioned
bearings last twice as long as
others under the same load and
service.
So go right ahead! Buy this Buick
on its last mile instead of its first.
That’s the smart way to buy these
times.
Of this you can be sure:
No other car’s going to
offer greater surety of
long, pleasurable, dependable
service — so if you can get a Buick
now, better grab it!
No other car has

For 4 4 years Mrs. Geo. Biggs
has been active in Baptist church-
es as a Sunday School teacher. She
began teaching a class of boys in
a church in Ralls County, Mo.,
where she was converted in early
girlhood.
She moved to Panhandle in
1908. and since that time has been
teaching in the Sunday school of
the First Baptist Church here. For
many years she taught a class of

Mrs. Biggs is most adept in
finding any scripture. She always
is ready with the interpretations
of the scriptures for those who
seek them of her.
Not only does Mrs. Biggs know
the Word, but she also abides by
it. Her prayer is always that her
pupils be not hearers only, but
also doers' of the Word. As all.
her friends know her. She is the
embodiment of hospitality, gen-

Possibly the crowning event of
Mrs. Biggs’ religious work was
her trip to Oklahoma City in 1939
to the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion.
Gary Simms called on her one
morning and invited her to go.
She began making excuses but
with persuasian, she agreed to
go. The next morning she was on
her way, accompanied by Mrs.
Eva Craig, W. W. Evans, and
Gary Simms. Of Lhe entire group
Mrs. Biggs stood the trip the best,
being the least tired out when she
arrived back in Panhandle. How
eager was her enthusiasm, and
how inspiring was her report, as
she gave an account ot the con-
vention the following Sunday in
the church service!
Mrs. Biggs can truly say as the
Apostle Paul, “I have fought a
good fight” for my Master’s cause.
