Dr. Guthrie Moves
To Kilgore; Many
Gifts Received Here
Dr. and Mrs. S. C. Guthrie and
children moved Monday afternoon
to Kilgore, where Dr. Guthrie be-
comes pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church, after being pastor
in Graham for six years.
Many expressions of regret at
their leaving have been heard here
and the church and several differ-
ent groups have made farewell
gifts of appreciation to the family.
On behalf of the church, Sun-
day night after services, a group
presented Dr. and Mrs. Guthrie
with some lovely silverware. The
men of the church, previous to
that, had presented Dr. Guthrie
with a lovely gift, and Mrs. Guth-
rie received many lovely gifts, at
a shower given by members of the
Ladies Auxiliary.
As a final farewell gesture of
appreciation, members of the Bap-
tist Church and the First Metho-
dist Church dismissed their serv-
ices Sunday night to attend the
farewell service at the Presbyte-
rian Church for Dr. Guthrie.
No one has been invited to take

The district championship gamef
between the Graham High Steers
and the Wichita Ffclls Coyotes has
been designated as Dad's night
by the Quarterback Club, and the
game will be dedicated to them.
The fathers of the members of
the team will be admitted free to
tiie game, and will wear their
boys' numbers during the fray.
They will sit on the sidelines with
the boys. A special program has
been arranged for between the
halves by the Graham High Band
which honor the Dads.
This will be the second annual
Dad’a Night, the Childress game
last year, inaugurating the fea-
ture. The affair was quite a suc-
cess last year, and is expected to
prove even more successful this
time.
The game will also be honoring
Billy Holder, who was prevented
from playing this year by an at-
tack of infantile paralysis which
hit the boy last summer. Holder
| transferred to Graham from Lov-
ing at mid-term last year after a
very successful year on the Loving
six-man team, and was slated to be
a first stringer on this fall’s edi-
tion of the Steers, before the at-
tack.
Arrangements have been made
for a 'Maples ambulance to go get
the boy and bring him to the
game, where he will be a guest
of the Quarteiback Club.
Several committees were ap-
pointed at last night’s meeting of

What is the favorite indoor sport
at the women at Graham? Some
will say bridge, but our guess
would be reading the news and
advertisements about fashions. If
anyone says that advertisements
are not read, he should find out
about the commotion created in
aoasa store if a mistake is made
in the newspaper in describing the
fashion offerings of that concern.

provide to illustrate the latest
styles, every detail of the deecrip-
tions at these styles, is noted with

Big Demand Seen
For Turkeys Tkis
Thanksgiving
The year’s biggest demand for
turkeys is in the offing. It is
timely, therefore, for producers to
go over all marketable birds care-
fully, much as live-stockmen cut
out ther cattle, says George P.
McCarthy, poultry husbandman of
the A. and M. College Extension
Service. Only those turkeys often
referred to as “ripe” are in beat
condition to go to market.
Growers can determine whether
birds have developed well in flesh
by feeling the keel and along the
shoulders and thighs. If they are
well fleshed then examine further
to see whether they have put on
fat. This is best indicated by lay-
ers of fat found along the thin
feather tract of the breast and
on the thighs. Examination should
continue to see whether they have
developed pin feathers.
Pin feathers, McCarthy ex-
plains, cut a turkey in grade prob-
ably more than any other thing.
If a turkey has not developed pin
feathers to the point where they
protrude through the skin and
have taken on a fanlike shape,
then it can easily be classified as
Should a turkey at this

Part Unemployment
Benefits Under
New Procedure
New procedures have been ini-
tiated by the Texas Unemploy-
ment Compensation Commission
relating to the payment of bene-
fits for partial unemployment.
Roy Epperson, District Supervis-
or of the Texas Commission, stat-
ed yesterday that these procedures
are in compliance with minimum
standards established by the So-
cial 'Security Board, Washington,
D. C. These procedures have been
the farmers at this county will ge required by the Board because it
all-out in their effort to do their u believed that • considerable
number of workers have failed to
claim partial unemployment bene-
fits to which they might have
been entitled.
The chief difficulty, according
to Mr. Epperson, has been that
many people have not had a clear
idea of what partial unemploy'
ment is and when benefits are pay-
able for this type of unemployment
under the TAxas Unemployment
Compensation law. ‘The simplest
way to describe it,” he said, "is to
point out that a worker is partial
ly unemployed when he continues
to work for his regular employer
but suffers a loss of earnings be-
cause hie working hours are i
duced below normal full-time. A
man does not have to lose his job
to be eligible for partial benefits.
In other words, the employer-em-
share in the Food-For-Freedom
campaign.”
Millican explained that the US
DA Defense Board would announce
definite plans for carrying on the
campaign in tha county after the
district meeting, but it la antici-
pated that county and community
meetings to explain what is needed
will be held in conjunction with the
farm plan and pledge sheet sign-
up which will be handled by AAA
committeemen.

the feather tracts along the breast
to see whether feathers have de-
veloped well in the area, then
looking on the inside -of the wing
to see whether the pin feathers
have protruded through the web
part of the wing. If the thigh is
rather smooth to the touch, then
pin feathers have developed and
taken on a fanlike shape and the
turkey will dress out as a good
market bird, McCarthy says.
"I find that lota of our toms
are marketed too early. If they
had been kept off the market ah1
other three or four weeks they
would have topped the market in
quality. So, in selecting turkeys
for marketing at Thanksgiving, be
sure to look over the toms ca
fully and do not sell any which are
not in top condition.
