Home Economics News—
Miss Ilauk, Bonnie Hall, Ed-
wina Watt and Jane Isbill visited
the homemaking department of
Crawford high school on Tuesday
of this week. Mrs. Chas. B. Hall
offered them a generous courtesy
in that she accompanied them,
furnished her car and acted as
“chauffeur.”
McGregor girls spoke to the
Crawford girls on the subject of
club activities and home project
work. Light refreshments were
served and altogether, it was a
nice get-to-gether meeting, for
teachers and pupils. McGregor
has, we feel, girls any school
would be proud of, but Crawford
has us bested on a home econ-
omics building.
* *
Monday night the homemak-
ing department had an interest-
ing entertainment during which
the second and third year girls
initiated the freshmen girls. Ed-
wina Watt, president, called the
club to order and asked the fresh-
men girls l*o repeat the following
pledge: “I pledge to be loyal
and promise to uphold ideals and
standards of the McGregor Chap-
ter of the Future Homemakers
of Texas. May the rays of my
light be an incentive for higher
aims to those in my sell obi
home and my community.”

Mrs. Mollie Kittrell of Lub-

ON D I S
Wednesday., 0. T. McGinley,
Geo. W. England, Joe Evert on
and Chas. B.. Hall went before
the Lion club of Gatesville, where
Mr. McGinley explained the vig-
ilance plan as it is now working
successfully in McGregor.
The thirty-five or more men
present on the occasion, were im-
mediately sold on a like proposi-
tion for Gatse'pville and steps
would be taken, so they stated,
to at once stop grafters from
fleecing their citizenship out of
their cash.
Since the plan has been operat-
ing in McGregor, some thirty j
days, we are told that approxi-j
mately twenty-five peddlers and
high-powered salesmen have been
stopped before they had time to
work the residence section of the
city, or very few of the business
houses. According to as estimate
made by officials of the Chamber
of Commerce, by stopping these
salesmen, the citizens of McGre-
gor have been saved anywhere
from $100 to $150 of good hard-
earned cash; and in many in-
stances, the purchaser would not
have received one thing in return
for the money paid out.
If you are approached by any
kind of a salesman, be sure he
has obtained a card from the
vigilance committee of the city,
otherwise, turn the proposition
down and by so doing you will
perhaps save your money.
