will form part of the stage setting,
and seniors in gypsy costumes will

Standard will perform with typical
dances. A fortune teller, Maggie Jo
Flanagan, will tell of the future life j
of the seniors; Thacher Gary is to
read the will, Mary Kathryn Walker

class poem.
The public is invited to meet in the
high school auditorium at 8 o’clock
Friday evening and share with the
seniors their last' program in the
high school. There will be no ad-
mission charges.

minister, will conduct the baccalau-
reate services Sunday at the Baptist
Church. Following that a dinner for
all seniors will be held at the Key-
stone hotel to which the students will
go directly from the church.

the high school auditorium at' which
time J. W. O’Banion of the State su-
pervision department at Austin, will

tatorian, Pearl Cothrin.

CAMP ALLEN OPENS JUNE 3
CAVE EXCAVATED BY
PLAYMATES BECOMES TOMB
FOR MISSING GIRL
Misses Evelyn Feild, Mary Kathryn
Walker, Gweneth Parsons and Vivian
Dickens visited Sunday in Bertram
and Austin.
NEW YORK, May 20.—The body
of pretty little Shirley Evans, 8, was
found Monday buried 250 yards from
her home under a ton of earth in a
cave apparently dug by herself and
her playmates. Death was by suf-
focation.
Discovery of the body, clad in the
red gingham dress she wore when she
disappeared Friday, ended a search
by hundreds of police, boy scouts and
department of justice agents who had
combed the area near her Jackson
Heights, Queens, home.
A suggestion by Taylor Putney Jr.,
neighbor of Shirley, led to finding of
the body. He urged a search of an
excavation in the rear of the apart-
ment building where the Evans live,
recalling seeing children digging h
cave there.
The body was uncovei’ed after ten
minutes of digging by employes of the
contractor who had dug the excava-
tion as a foundation for an apart-
ment building.

Bishop Clinton S. Quin
HOUSTON, May 21;—Camp Allen,
seashore resort of the Texas Episco-
pal Diocese, will open June 3 for its
season of encampments for boys and
girls which will continue through
August 30.
Since this completely equipped re-
creation spot v.Tas started fifteen years
ago between 1000 and 1500 boys and
girls have taken part in its health-
giving program.
Attendance has grown each year
and the 1935 encampments promise
to eclipse all others in membership
as well as opportunities for outdoor
activities conducted under the super7 j
vision of directors highly trained for
their work.
Every outdoor game from tennis to
baseball is at Camp Allen for the
growing boy and girl. The large com-
munity hall with its huge fireplace
and indoor games serve to broaden
the scope of the camp’s offering.
Cabins are kept in first class condi-
tion, food served under the direction
of an expert dietitian will be there
in abundance for every camper.
Fishing, boating and bathing are
within a few steps of the camp which
is located seven miles from Goose
Creek on Trinity Bay. A paved high-
way runs right by Camp Allen’s gate.
Senior boys, ages 14 to 21, will
gather at Camp Allen from June 3
to 22; junior boys, ages 10 to 13,
will be guests from July 8 to 22;
senior girls, ages 14 to 21, July 24
to August 14; junior girls, ages 10
to 13, August 16 to 30.
From June 24 to July 5 an adult
conference will be held.
Bishop Clinton S. Quin invites ear-
ly reservations be made by getting
in touch with Rev. Thomas W. Sum-
ners, chairman of the committee on
camps, 1805 W. Alabama, Houston,
Texas.
“Camp Allen takes all sorts of
boys and girls but turns out just one
‘sort’ of product,” Bishop Quin said.
“It teaches us how to get the most
out of life. It touches the whole
life and guarantees a happy worth-
while : experience plus as much as
you ■ve^.-nt of it afterwards. That de-
pends .upon you. Come join us. It
costs less than staying at home.”

Higdon’s
DON’T BUY FROM PEDDLERS
A special buy for a special occasion. Our New York buyer wired
us—“Boy, Howdy! We nailed ’em to the cross on a colossal silk
purchase.’’ Being on the spot with cash in hand, we made a won-
derful clean sweep buy on fine silks. Now we pass them on to you
at a great saving. Most every conceivable color and kind of silk
will be found in ’this short length sale, sold by the piece only at 14c,
19c and 20c pieces. Two big tables—Plenty extra help—Be here
Saturday and save.
HIGDON’S
Another Ord woman learned last
week that it isn’t safe to buy frojn a
peddler when the peddler is a total
stranger. She gave $5.00 to a maga-
zine salesman who was supposed to
bring her $4.00 in change. Instead
he left town with the entire $5.00.
She may receive the $1.00 magazine
she ordered, probably not, but it is
pretty expensive to pay five dollars
for a one dollar magazine anyway,
especially when she probably could
have ordered it from an Ord firm for
75 cents.
There isn’t a single argument that
should justify a person in buying
from strangers soliciting from door
to door, especially from a magazine
salesman who is here today and gone
tomorrow. You don’t know him, you
don’t know the company he claims
to represent, you are very likely to
be defrauded and if you are you
have no recourse.
For protection of its citizens many
towns have found it necessary to pass
anti-peddler ordinances, but such
legislation should not be necessary
if people would adopt an undeviating
policy of refusing to buy from ped-
dlers.
The Quiz is printing a supply of
small, neat placards stating simply:
“We Do Not Buy From Peddlers.”
They are for display on the porch or
in the windows of homes.—Ord (Neb.)
Quiz.
ENGAGEMENT OF MISS
GLADYS SPARKS ANNOUN-
CED AT FORMAL TEA
(From Taylor Newspaper)
Mrs. J. Frank Smith and Miss.Myra
Smyre were joint hostesses Saturday
afternoon at a formal tea at the home
of Mrs. Jy Frank Smith, 118 West
Eighth street, from 4 until 6-o’clock.
Spring cut flowers with roses, pink
gladioli ana larkspurs in pastel shades
predominating, intermingled with
Queen Ann lace in tall wicker bas-
kets, table bowls and vases were pla-
ced throughout the spacious recep-
tion and dining rooms.
The real nature of the affair was
not evident until the guests arrived
at the home and were greeted at the
entrance by a tiny bride and groom.
The bride, Abbie Patricia Forson,
younger daughter of Mrs. Joe Han-
nah Forson, held a huge colonial bou-
quet of sweet alyssum and greenery
bound by streamers of white
silken ribbons. From this bouquet
little Abbie Patricia selected -minia-
ture colonial bouquets of similar de-
sign the ribbons of which were caught
with a tiny white card which bore the
inscription, “Gladys and Raymond,
June twenty-third,” thus revailing the
engagement and approaching mar-
riage of Miss Gladys Sparks to W.
R. Arrington, both of Taylor. The
little groom, Jimmie Fromme, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fromme, of Elgin,
friends of the bride-elect, served as
doorman.
In the receiving line were Mrs.- J.
Frank Smith dressed in a pink lace
gown, Miss Myra Smyre, wearing a
gown of pink satin, both of whom
wore corsages of sweet peas in pastel
tones, Miss Sparks, gowned in an
evening dress of blue lace and a nup-
tial shower corsage of white carna-
tions, Mrs. W. H. Nunn of George-
town, aunt of the honoree, wearing
a gown of black matelasse crepe with
white matlasse jacket, Mrs. F. E. Hol-
man of Lampasas, attired in a har-
din blue net dress, and Mrs. Jack
Adams also of Lampasas, ■ wearing a
pale blue lace gown, and Mrs. Ed
Fromme of Elgin, dressed in a • blue
turquoise net and taffeta gown.
The house party included Misses
Martha Ann Harding and Zaida
Brown and Mesdames Roy Camblin,
Ralph Johns, Joe Hannah Forson and
Ed Fromme.of Elgin, who wore even-
ing dx-esses of pink horse hair lace,
petal pink lace, turquoise fiance
crepe, organza diagonally striped
with varying tones of green and
brown, orchid net and blue turquoise
net and taffeta, respectively.
Misses Harding and Brown and
Mrs. Camblin and Mrs. Fromme serv-
ed in the dining room and Mrs. Johns
presided at the punch bowl.
The dining table was laid in an
Irish lace cover. A crystal service
was used with tall white tapers in
crystal holders at each end of the
table. Dainty cartwheel and ribbon
sandwiches, cookies, mints of pastel
hues and yellow punch were served .to
one hundred guests during the after-
noon.
The affair of Saturday afternoon
was the first of a series of parties
planned for Miss Sparks, preceding
the date set for her marriage. She
is a graduate of State University.
During the past six years Miss Sparks
has been a member of the Taylor
high school faculty and head of the
home economics department. She
came to Taylor from Lampasas, which
has been her home since childhood.
