Amoma Glass Outing

. On Thursday morning of last week the Amoma class of the First Baptist Church with their Teacher Mrs Jeff Cover and Miss Callie Rose for ehape- rones met at the church at 9:30 and went aboard truck driven by Brvon Phillips all bound for Monte Ne for two days camping trip. The center Of the truck was piled with suit cases quilts pillows, lunch boxes, live chickens, bags of potatoes, apples and many other eatables which go to make a trip often longed for
 The trip was full of adventures from the time we started until We returned, at least riding the truck was one ad venture long to be remembered by the light weight ones who rode the last seats and testify that it brought to their memories the days at school when they used to play whip cracker and they were the pepper on the whip. After q delightful ride down the hol low and around the curves, one round of merriment continually, we all ar rived with no bones broken to the place for which We started.
 After aliehting We at once proceed ed to see the Hostess of the Bath House Mrs. Humnel who helped to e.ld. n our comforts. from then on ;arn.,s.. disposal nice little she placed It Udf= s.sz -.s.,.,..,...s .,ho.., room in which each one f sfe fas ro could place her belongings and there with brushes, combs, powder puffs and other articles that 20 to make a toilet All were once again present able. Numbers were arranged and drawn for the different duties around the camp, which put spice and life into the meal getting, fire making and dish washing The pool brought joy to many while some worked others stroled and some sat quietly and chatted and then off little farther in q shady nook some read books and magazines
 At the first grey streak of dawn We arose and after a delicious break fast, waited for the dishwashers. a word to the Chaffuer, We all again elambered in for joy ride to the river and "Oh the delight of that ride, D in the early morning hours with the sun just bursting over the mount aims, the breezes blowing over our heads and the joyful laugh of more than score of voices as We splashed pools rounded curves and shouts to drive slow would drive away the blues and make Us wish to live for ever in the sound of those sweet voices. After a little walk Up the river bluff we returned just in time to meet the car driven by Ellis Cover and bringing two more girls to our party whom we gladly welcomed and told of the joy we were having. Again dinner spread and day well spent we were planning our return when most too suddenly to be thought of the rain began to pour which continued for some length All had decided We would have to stay another night when just as suddenly tie clouds broke away and we packed to start
 One hour spent Fl starting Ellis cur, and one puncture Uas the height of our adventure returning Arriving in town just as the whistles blew for six very much mad splattered but all glad we had gone, with many happy good byes and longing for just such another trip we parted fer the night

To the Good People of Springdale and
 Community.

In view of the fact that certain statements of a hurtful nature are being circulated in this community with regard to myself l wish to beg you to hear me in my own behalf.
 These statements, which are being circulated would, if true brand me as a stacker and perjurer One ot them IS to the effect that have made affl- davit that my wife is an invalid Another is that l have also claimed that Mir. and Mrs. Harris are in part dependent upn my labors for support,
 I deny that either of these state ment are true. As to the latter, l would say that all of the members of the board are familiar with the fact that Mr. Harris is an active bulsness ,,an It would therefore be the height of presumption for me to undertake to make plea like that. If were dis- nosed to do so l would be afraid to ah- der take it in the face of the facts.
 As to the statement about my Wife being an invalid, l would say that l have made no affidavit in the matter neither was I asked to make one. She is not an invalid and l have not so claimed at any time. Her health IS not good. and in the questionalre which was sent to all drafted men, quest ion asked whether the wife's health was good are poor. My answer to that question was poor.
 Recently when married men of my class were reclassified and placed Tn Al went before the board at Fay etteville and sought information as to the possibility of enlisting Tn the Navy The board said they were re leasing no men l was informed that I had the privilege to appeal my case (this being d privilege extended to 10 900 .0O0 men, and it was not con sidered unpatrotic to do sol appeal ed my case upon information which had gone before the board in my ouestionaire, The plea was not that my wife was an invalid nor even In poor health I based my plea on the
