Mrs. Stockdale expressed the ap-
preciation of the Girls for coopera-
tion .given them by the citizens dur-
ing their summer .program. Mrs. R,
G. Anderson, mother of the Camp
Fire Girl who sponsored the Child-
ren's Popularity Contest in Asper-
mont, presented the prize to the win
ner, Bill Flowers, son of Mr, arid
Mrs. Heron Flowers and grandson
of Mrs. Bess Forgus and Mr. and
Mrs. Will Flowers. The award was
a hand sawed boot of metal with the
inscription, "Designed for Bill Flow-
ers, Popularity Award given hv the
Camp Fire Girls of Aspermont Nov.
1940." Bill, with masculine vanity,
made the girls bring it to him, as he
refused to come more than three
steps. They were happv to do so,
however, and when he had shaken the
box they sang the Camn Fire Cheei
Song, using his name in place o!
Camp Fire.
Mrs. Anderson was then given a
surprise award, that of a silver mem-
bership pin for outstanding service
rendered Camp Fire since its organ-
ization in her home three years ago.
Mrs. Anderson was sl,member of the
first Camp Fire Group ever organis-
ed in Aspermont years ago by Miss
Etta Roebuck, now Mrs. Dan Couch
.The rededication ceremony followed
the awarding of Wood Gatherers
Rank to Marian Cope and Trail
Seekers Rank to Dorothy Rhea and
Vera Mae Hahn. Each girl was giv.
en a white candle which in turn was
passed through the flames of the three
Wohelo Candles as she rcdedicated
Iter life ro the principles of Camp
I'ire. From the center of the Wohelc
Candles Mrs. Anderson took the ,\s.
permont Candle which was unlitihiei"
and handed it to the Guardian, win
asked that the individual girl give
her light to creating a new light fo.
the Aspermont Fire. As this candle
from girl to girl and each touched it
to her candle freshly lighted from
Wohelo, tlie World Wide Fire, 01
promised to render .ill service pos-
sible to her town and America, for
each girl knew that as the girlhood of
America goes, so goes America.
When Mrs. Anderson placed the
Aspermont candle in the center,
higher than the rest, the girls began
to sing "(iod Bless America" am!
slowly made their way out: with tlicit
Candles brightly burning.

MEN LEAVE TOWN
Two more men left Aspermont
last week with, wishes unfulfilled.
The gentlemen were trying to find a
building to rent so that Aspcrmoni
might have a new dry goods store,
but they as many others this past
year, found that if you locate in As
permont you will have to build. The
town has nothing to rent or sell.
Business is getting so much better and
with the building program on many
are looking at this tiny town, the
county seat of Stonewall, that Frank
Reeves says is the last foothold ot
the real old West. The two inch rain
this past week assures the cattlemen
of real sure 'nuff pasture for the
winter, and winter wheat is well u;..
The new hotel will soon be under-
way, and the nearly quarter of a tril-
lion dollars worth of highways to be-
gin in 1941 makes Stonewall res!
dents very happy.
