And the tragedy of it is that those things con- stitute his death warrant. The gifts of which he 'is so proud doom him to the oven. Some may see in the gobbler’s ~ vanity a striking illustration of the proverbial pride that is followed by a Jigll. Others, who look at the matter fairly, will see something more. All who recall the last good turkey din- ner served them must admit “that a well-fattened gobbler has something > be proud of. Nor is ‘his fall, en- | Table to the table, to be set down in any way a penalty of pride. In his galt he serves mankind. In his death becomes a true benefactor of "the hangry. His pride i in life is not un- + Breqming and in death he is a ‘marty: to a glorious cause. Fa What jumps out of reach quicker thian a promising future? The height of ignorance is buying "two neckties just alike. What this country needs is socks guaranteed for 10,000 miles. ~ Many men act as if asking them to pay a bill they owe were an insult. i People smoke so much now it is Hi to tell when to call the firemen tis all right ¢ to follow your natural bent unless it makes you crooked. The burning question of the hour is, “Who will get up and start the fire?” When a woman plans a party the fun consists in making a list of those she won't invite. Municipal pride is at its best when a town first begins to worry about its traffic problem. i Contributors’ Column OUR COMPANION (In Memoriam) By Richard Lawley You know I often think of good old times, But dream oun as I may, I cannot realize the fact that one Has been turned away. The cordial word and pleasant smile is gone, That added hope and cheer, And lifted from us, too, the weight of time Till quitting time was near. For Time—Eternity—the shall last, ‘Where fellowship can show, And soon the summons, ‘‘come” take us home, ‘What hour? Oh, who can know? spell to be unbroken, prepared, for even our God hath praise, Meet trouble without fear, We have a grief a pdnain—a joy spread, > Our companion was he here. I have ben asked to write an article in memory of our late Squire, Mr. George Malkemes. Many nice things have been said of him, so I am choos- ing a certain instance of which Harry J. Ell also is aware. Mr. Ell, manager of the Buena Vista building plot often entertained the Squire in the office when real estate was not moving, and the generous-minded made himself at home, as he always could do, and he was just as precious in church and home, too. We wappre- ciated his visits, as he turned our va- cant thoughts away from the rounding hills and these instances shone through the horror of the news of the frightful accident which befell him, and so soon after the creation of those sociable ties. That night brought its pangs of gried, equally suffered with intimate friends of the deceased. Our joy is in the thought deceased. Our joy is in the thought of extneding the memory of our late com panion, that such a young man, so ac- tive, so capable and so highly esteemed shall ever live in the soul and spirit of our town, and, for whom some kind of a memorial should be proposed.

DEER HUNTING The small number of deer that have | been killed so far this season is quite | surprising when one takes into con- sideration the number of ‘deer, of how many have been seen about these parts lately. Wesley Moore was the first Dallas resident to announce that he was one of the lucky ones. “Wes” couldn't wait until he got home to spread the glad tidings but immediately spent | about two bucks for a telephone call from Pike county to inform his Dad oi his good luck. Mr. Moore, Sr., told the writer about it and upon going down Main street | today saw the real goods, a fine seven- pronged buck. “Wes hasn't done ‘much work since then, but is spending his time telling the boys “how far away it was and such a difficult shot it was.” Never mind, “Wes,” it’s something to be proud of. stories” NOT SO GOOD Wednesday evening we noticed Jim Oliver sliding into town but no buck graced his machine. Possibly Jim had it hiding under the seat. However, Ji:n had a good alibi, as he was on the driving end of the hunt, and didn’c a chance to shoot. Better luck next time, Jim. CAN'T SEE EM. J:m Besecker was out Monday and part of Tuesday with a party of hunters which included the Robinson boys of Hays Corners. The woods were full of deer but Jim couldn't see them. However, late Tuesday after- noon the Robinson boys brought down | a fine buck. I guess the Gods of Vate | didn’t want Jim to get anything over | on his business competitor, the other Jim. | WELL | We were out of town part of this! week and have not received many | reports of those were the lucky ones in getting a but we will most likely have a | news story in some other part of the] paper as to the kill up until Friday, when we go to press. news who among deer, MANY KILLED AND INJURED 2t seems that almost every morning the past week the daily papers have been carrying nothing but casualties of persons killed in the way of stories. It seems that this year there are an exceptionally large number of persons killed while hunting deer. CHRISTMAS TRADE SLOW Christmas seems to be quite dead this vear so far, and not only locauly but in the valley, stores show very little business. However, we look for the next two weeks having much brighter prospects for the local mer- chats. We find that a goodly num- ber cf radios are being distributed hy dealers. SOME BASKETBALL TEAM Jack Roberts is determined to or- ganze a team of old-timers from among ex-players who live in town who have by this time taken on con- siderable weight since the good old Jack has ivsued a challenge to Po- tory, and Rotary is seriously consider- ing the acceptance of same, provided they can scare up a team within the club. President Jim Beésecker and Secretary Thom Higgins are old stars, y28, very old, and they still think that they can draft three more members to take a chance and pit ‘themselves! aga nst “Jack’s All-ins.” Let's sore fun, anyway, if not much action, by tLe players. vag sec me Ce LAKETON HIGH : : SCHOOL EDITORIAL Yeo ,ho! my classmates, we are gliding smoothly and on the last stretch of our long journey. When we are safely landed how sorry we all will be when we know that there | wil be no more Freshmen, Sophomore, = | Junior and Senior seas to conquer. Our grand ship, Laketon High, will soon be lost to us and each of us must walk up the gangplank to our own individual ships and sail in dif- ferent directions and perhaps on new and different seas. But do not lose courage; perhaps we shall all meet again, and if so, I hope that each and every one of us may again be nearing the harbor of success. Never give up, no matter what troubles may confront you. Strive and work hard but always wear a smile and conquer all hardships in the future as you have in the past four years of your high school voyage. Remember, when you are again Jaunched on a sea of your own choice that the waters will not always be calm, and the winds will not always be silent.
