^HBttBpTUPENT STRIKE
keep
^^^^Hffrence which has given
ji^yn so much unfavorable
| am extremely sorry to
?"> ( to reply to fin article Written t?v
a!? adult with a minor's name attachP'H
but In Justice to myself I Will
have to state a few fact*.
I heard late Sunday night that
there would possibly be trouble at
?'ir school Monday morning. I went
out early and found that placards had
k**n mailed in front of the high
chool building that wonld confirm
lhe report. I went to Mvertl men
*ho i thought wonltTlbe Interested in
?t ~ ,
iftw and order, but all refused any
pari in it The mayor refused pro
lection it was easy for the boys to
arm themselves because the back of
our building was being torn away
When 1 returned to the scene a crowd
of boys were after the superintendent |
? threatenIng death. 1 went to his
rescue uud >vus crowded to the wall!
by boys with sticks and one threat (
nned ine with a brick but 1 had
nothing to protect myself with except
my knife. 1 took it out but made no
attempt to use it. However, 1 did'
not know till later that older heads
were back of the strike and no violence
would be done. 1 pray that
those responsible for this Irreparable
harm to our young people may see
It in the light of the presence of
Christ. j
I wish to express publicly my
thanks to the teachers who have(
stood loyal to our school throughout
the year. May God show mercy to
those who have tried through the
press fo hurt the reputation of a man
who for thirteen years has been not
only a school man of high rank, but
a Christian gentleman.
May we all sirlvo to be more like
Him who "When He was reviled, reviled
not again. When Ho suffere 1,
He threatened not; but commlt'ed
Himself to Him that judgetli righteously."
(Signed) B. W. Best

FIRESTONE Gives Yon This High
Quality Tire at This New Low Price
/icjCGAiAG Firestone saves money by controlling and securing fj
rubber and cotton at the sources and by more efficient /
manufacturing and distributing. These savings make possible \
extra values at lower prices. You get: r
High Quality ?.First choice rubber and selected cotton that I (
Conform to Firestone's high standards and rigid specifications. V
Long Mileage ? Safe, silent tread design made of tough, slow ]|||
wearing rubber that assures long mileage. Sturdy bars and ||y|
rugged notches give protection against skidding.
Blowout Protection?Nine extra pounds of rubber are added
to every 100 pounds of cord by the Firestone Patented Gum- V
Dipping process. Every fiber of every cord in every ply is J
saturated with liquid rubber which counteracts internal \
friction and heat that ordinarily cause blowouts. *
Puncture Protection ? Firestone's patented construction of
two extra layers of GumT)ipped cords under the tread protects
against punctures.
New Low Prices ? Never before have all these safety and economy
features been combined in a tire priced so low.
Don't take chances dn your holiday trip. Come in today. Let us
put a set of these large size, rugged, long wearing tires on your car ?
remember, you save 25%.
