greater or better than its pub-
lic schools . . . Sweetwater
schools under Supt. R. S. Covey
have made rapid strides in the
past three years."
E. Earl Isbill, Jones county
superintendent, in his response
to the welcome, uncorked an
unique example of public speak-
ing. Clutching his left lapel,
Isbill began in a squeaky ten-
or: "I have developed a bad
cold in my left lung since reach-
ing Sweetwater." Then in a
booming bass he added: "But
my right lung is all right, and
what I have to say about Sweet-
water as a host comes from my
right lung.'-'
Hats featured the style parade
as snappily dressed feminine
teachers displayed new spring
fashions. They ranged from a
well-browned pancake perched
on one ear, through inverted
pill-boxes, sombreros with chin
straps, to the demure effect of
a "Maid of Salem" bonnet . . .
Shoes followed with a few toes
peeping, but mostly confined to
solid ties, pumps, and a T-strap
in combined gabardine and kid,
with shades of brown predomi-
nating.
A coterie of bachelor teach-
ers, led by Sweetwater hosts,
was upbraided for sitting apart
at teacher sessions. "We're do-
ing mental observation", one of
them defended. However, "vis-
ual' could have been substitut-
ed for "mental' with due regard
for the truth.

"Eligibility" was the word
most frequently noted when
masculine tutors gathered for!
informal chats. "Now take the |
case of a boy who never had i
played any at all, and he comes
to my school"—"He's out" was
the quick verdict. And this was
repeated in many instances.
And the same teacher who
would stand a pupil in the corn-

was noted with a wad in vig-

Now that National I 'sed Car
Exchange Week has reduced
dealers' used car stocks, this is
an opportune time to buy the
new 1938 Ford V-8 you have
been wanting. There are three
excellent reasons for acting now.
First, the ability and desire,
of your Ford dealer to accept
additional cars in trade — now.
Second, the fact that spring
arrives officially next week, and
it's a real thrill to meet it with
a new car.
Third, the 1938 h'ord V-8 it-
self. It is a great value at itspres-
you learn the exceptional
amount of equipment included
in the advertised price.
i he big 85-hp. De Luxe Ford
V- 8 offers a new standard of lux-
ury at a low price. The newly
styled Standard Ford V-8, even
lower in price, is available with
either engine size. With the
frfMip. V-8 engine it is "Public
liconomy No. 1"— owners are
reporting 22 to 27 miles per
gallon.
