V's-'f j ,
ey say, is man’s best
Verlin Evans, freshman st
University, doesn't agree. His
is the thumb on his
-the thumb he used to hitch-
hike handsome rewards.
When Verlin's father, A. G. Evans,
Was recently dropped from the com-
pany's payroll u> Van, he was forced to
withdraw from school on account of
financial difficulties. Because of such
•tnits, he started hitch-hiking home.
For some unexplainable reason, he
refused to ride in the first automo-
bile that stopped for him, according to
a Waco paper. Another stopped for
him after a few minutes and he got
in. The driver was friendly and soon
the conversation drifted around to
the student’s financial troubles.
They traveled on for several miles,
and the driver stopped the car. Evans
was frightened, thinking that robbery
was the motive for the motorist’s
sudden stop. Instead, however, the
driver reached into his pocket, pulled
out three twenty dollar bills, slipped
them into Evans’ hand and told him
to return to school.
This helped a lot, but it paid for
tuition only. He needed more to pay
for his room and board.
After visiting in Van, another driv-
er picked him up on his return to
Waco and Verlin delightedly told him
of his previous good luck.
Now back at Baylor, Verlin Evans
has enough work—promised him by
the second driver, to more than pay
for his room and ooard.
Heavy Rainfall Here
Sunday; Some Wind
One and one-fourth inches of rain
fell here during the day last Sunday,
and when the heavy downpour came
in the afternoon it was accompanied
by a stiff wind. At this same time,
Mrs. Hubert Skinner, who lived be-
tween Canton and Athens, was killed
by a tornado, which blew her house
200 yards from its foundation. Other
homes and outbuildings were destroy-
ed in this area. ..
The thermometer also took a rapid
drop following the rains, with a low
reading of 40 registered Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings.

Charge of School Program
The general assembly program of
the local school last Friday was
sponsored by the local chapter of the
Future Farmers Chapter. The pro-
gram showed a considerable variety
in selections, and was thoroughly en-
joyed by the entire student bo<fy.
The numbers were introduced by
A. C. Spencer, teacher of Vocational
Agriculture.
Melvin L. Vaughan, pastor of the
Church of Christ, made a fifteen
minute address, and this was followed
by a piano selection by Segle Julian.
Joyce and James Small gave some
selections on Hawaain steel guitars.
One of the features of the program
was an arrangement of several tunes
by the F. F. A. string band. The
group was highly applauded, and
they are expected to appear on other
programs before the conclusion of
school term.
