FREE
AS,
HOWDY FOLKS: Did you
ever observe that the folks
who are always bent on
pleasure are usually the
ones to go broke first?
The preacher started it.
He wrote on the signboard
“I pray for all.” The law
yer followed with “I plead
for all.” Underneath the
doctor put “I prescribe for
all.” But the plain citi
zen had the last word. He
wrote; “I pay for all.”
"Who was that pretty little
thing I saw you with last
night?”
“Will you promise not to
tell my wife?”
“Surely, I promise.”
"Well, it was my wife.”
But in business you can
not keep secrets. Satisfied
customers insist on telling
their friends how much
better our service is. We
are pretty sure you, too,
will be mighty happy once
you try it.

UDC CHAPTER TO

Mrs. Una L. Setzler, Hist.
five million children are not is
school, and draft rejections for
educational deficiency totaled
676,000. The loss of teachers
from the schools and students
from teachers colleges, influx o’
unqualified personnel, heavy
teaching loads, overcrowded
classrooms, and low salaries are
urgent problems. Radio and
press publicity, school amend
ments voted in November elect
ions, local efforts, and state legis
lative programs indicate growing
public concern. This crisis can be
met in all places if responsibility
for the financial support of public
schools is shared by local, state
and federal governments, Mr.
Brown said.
On Tuesday, November 11 Mrs.
Eugene Spearman will be in
charge of the radio program en
titled “Building America’s Fu
ture”. Other subjects will be
discussed throughout the week, j
