VOLUME 85
FORD FORUM
FACTS AND FUN
BY NORA FORD
This issue of the Tribune
marks the beginning of the
New Year and the time when
wo resolve to better servo our
readers.
Many of us began the New
Year by eating black-eyed peas
for luck and sat down to vatch
our favorite football teams lose
their games.
We recall many misfortunes
of the past year but we are
looking forward to the possible
accomplishments during the
New Year by working together
toward the general welfare of
Bartlett. Let's shoulder the res-
ponsibilities of our little town
and see the results of our ef
forts.
In this column last week wo
learned the names and positions
of some of the pioneer Bartlett
residents who felt a need for
schools and better educational
facilities for their children.
These special people made Bart-
lett schools for others to love
and serve.
Wo have many high schools
and schools of higher learning
but the real schools where the
real lessons of life arc learned
are the homes of America. Wo
are told that young children
learn the lofty lessons of self-
control self-sacrifice. sublime
faith and splendid trustat'horae.
This special learning is attained
before the age of twelve.
We hear that some of the
politicians are concerned about
the vote of the 18 year old youth
yet we have always heard
that man reaches his peak in-
telligence at the age of 50. The
reasons for this upward trend
was suppose to bo the improved
physical and psychological en-
vironment in the past years.
We realize there are many more
young people than there are 50
year old men.
Some say that maturity is
the time of life when you would
have the time of your life if
you had the time. Others say
it is advisable to slow down at
a certain age but only to take
up some hobby or new activity.
Those whq retire completely are
referred to as idiotics.

Dallas and president of thn
Texas Bankers Association. Re
calling his youth here and com-
paring the advantages of grow-
ing up and living in a small town
with living in a larger city such
as Dallas he advised "Don't
let anyone take vour onnnrtim.
ities away from you."
Everyone is interested In
everyone else's nrobloms in
Bartlett" he said recalling
that going to church was a fa-
mily affair where the pastor
knew you and your family and
always had time to discuss any
problems that might arise and
give advise when needed; in
school your teacher knew you
and your family and was inte
rested in you as an individual.
ins children have missed much
of this in Dallas ho snlrl ho.
Cause there are SO mnnv nnnnln
that the pastor and the teachers
can not know them and their
families well.
