Suggestions for teen - agers
The following editorial appeared in the
Murray County (Minnesota) Herald, and
it struck us as an extraordinarily sensible
answer to a recurrent modern problem:
"Always we hear the plaintive cry of the
teenagers . . what can we do . . . where
can we go?” writes the Minnesota editor.
*T can make some suggestions:
"Go. home. '
"Hang the storm windows, paint the
woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the
lawn. Shovel the walk. Wash the car. Help
your mom. Help your dad.
"Learn to cook, scrub some floors, re-
pair a sink.
"Build a boat. Get a job. Help the minis-
ter, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army.
Tisit the sick, assist the poor, study your
lessons.
"And when you are through . . . and
BACK THE PANTHERS
Panhandle high school’s Panthers de-
serve your backing this year and every
year—and your cooperation will boost the
Panther’s to another outstanding season.
Football players and fans need to be
poor losers, but good sports. The game is
twssed on victory, not defeat; superior
sportsmanship, not underhanded tactics;
a competitive effort, not a lackadasical
. performance; a combination of team spirit
properly instructed by keen students of
the game and not a solo event for an unin-
formed person.
The Herald joins the citizenship of this
school district in hearty congratulations to
Panther players, Coaches Clinton Wil-
liams, Lewis Martin and Joe Spann, train-
ers and all others so vitally connected with
£he sport. We wiMi each of you our best.
WOH, BOY, EASY THERE
Two morons each had a horse, but they
could never decide which horse belonged
i© which moron. They cut off the mane of
one horse, but it grew back. They cut off
the tail of the other, but it too grew back.
They then measured both horses and
found out that the white horse was four
inches taler than the black one.

DOES THE TULIA HERALD
HAVE "MORE RIGHT”
Editor H. M. Baggarlay of the Tulia
Herald is one of the best informed men in
Texas concerning Senator Ralph Yarbor-
ough. We know he is a man of high ideals,
an unquestioned Christian gentleman and
one of the outstanding columnist in the
nation.
However, we question Baggarlay’s judg-
ment to imply that the Amarillo News and
Globe-Times does not have a right to its
own editorial policies and a right to offer
much encouragement for another candi-
date—not favored by Editor Baggarlay.
We are not beating the drums for our
neighbors to the west and consider it a
privilege to agree or disagree with any
or all editorials that appear in the con-
demned publication—BUT we are con-
vinced that the Amarillo News and Globe-
Times has as much right to express their
belief as does the Tulia Herald.
We do not believe everything that the
condemned Miss Louise Evans (editor of
the editorial page for the Amarillo news-
papers) writes; WE DO believe that she is
just as sincere in her belief; just as honor-
able in her profession and just as much a
lady in all definitions of the word as
Editor Bagarlay.
The Herald belongs to that old school
wrho believe that editorials are expressions
and opinions that cause the readers to
THINK. No newspaper owns any mind of
its reading family and has a yain opinion
of itself if it believes that it can perform
the thinking for its readers.
The Herald editor respects the RIGHT
OF OPINION and refuses to let another
editor question the right of another news-
paper’s expression.

Read Psalm 27:1-7
One thing have I desired of the
Lord’, that will I seek after; that
I may dwell in the house of the
Lord all the days of my life.
(Psalm 27:4.)
At first sight this seems a
strange request, even to a devout
Christian. What does this verse
of Scripture mean? Does it mean
that the temple is a kind of hotel
where he can live all the time?
Or is it the cry of a tired man
who longs for a cloistered life?
Neither! the psalmist is think-
ing of the Temple in Jerusalem as
the symbol of the highest things
in life.
Our Sunday worship should be
able to stand, the test of Monday
morning.
PRAYER: O God, our Father in
heaven, teach us to worship Thee
in such a way that it may be a
means of strength and blessing in
all we undertake. May the calm
and1 peace of Thy house be pres-
ent with us this day in whatever
we may do and wherever we
may go. In the Master’s name.
Amen.

Dear Paul:
During my travels through sev-
eral states, I observed that the
Texas highways were by far the
most littered of all.
Beer cans, bottles, paper tow-
els, sacks, etc.
Upon arrival in Pensacola, I
read the inclosed1 article in the
Pensacola newspaper. The sug-
gestion by Hunter H. Garrett, a
friend of mine, struck me as be-
ing a wonderful idea.
Having read articles by you on
this subject I felt I just must
pass this on to you.
Respectfully
George A. Boyd
Here is the Garrett suggestion:
“I believe that the state and couiv
ty should establish litterbug
drive-ins at intervals along the
highways. These would be pens
Or cages erected on the ■ roadside
easily accessible to motorists who
could get rid of their excess car-
tons, sandwich wrappings, cans,
and whatever else motorists throw
on the highways, without undue
effort.
“These storage bins then could
be emptied at regular intervals
by the road, health or trash haul-
ing crews. The results should
mean a major saving in time and
money.
(Ed. Note: Let’s have your sug-
gestion.)
(Ed. Note: The following letter
was received by Mrs. Faye Hern-
don from Mrs. Russ Owens, form-
er member of the Panhandle
school faculty.)
Dear Faye:
We moved Wednesday to Mena,
Ark. You and Agnes (Mrs. J. B.
Howe) must plan to come to see
us when the leaves turn this fall,
and of course we invite all of our
old friends from Carson county.
We have a rock house, 5 bed-
rooms, so you see we have plenty
of room, set in 24 acres of pines
with a lake at our back door and
a creek running through one
corner.
I’ve received so many lovely
messages from former students
in Panhandle. Truly, I have been
more than blessed during my ill-
ness. M. C. and Ann Davis stopped1
by to see us recently, we did en-
joy the visit.
Our new; address is:
O. R. Owens
Rt. 3
Mena, Ark.
P. S.The latch string is on the
outside to our Panhandle friends!
Love to all
Maudie and Russ Owens
