All-Stars Scare
Healing Springs

In the Healing Springs High
School gymnasium last Wednes-
day night the West Jefferson ALI
Star boys and girls played the
Healing Springs High School
teams in two close and hard
fought games. The West Jeffer-
son girls held the Healing
Springs girls to one foul goal in
the first half, but in the third
and fourth quarters the Healing
Springs girls put on burst of
speed and finally came out on
top, 1873. Donna Miller with S
points and Red Walker with 4
points supplied all the scoring
for West Jefferson.
In the boys game there were
no Individual stars for either
side. Both teams fought to win,
but when the final whistle had
blown, the score was tied 1928.
Since it had been such a hard
game on both teams, it was de-
cided not to play the tie off.
Donna Miller, Red Walker,
Juanita McNeill, Evonne Miller,
Mrs. Carl Francis and Ina Ruth
Grayson made up the w. J. girls
team; Joe Johnson, Buddy Gray
son, John Weaver, Jimmy Allen,
Joe and Bill Garvey, Carl Fran
els, Shorty Walker, and Glenn
Sells were those playing on the
West Jefferson boys team.

the President will not. try to sue
coed himself.
!, Farley's renewed friendliness
with the White House also is si-
lent testimony to this effect, for,
before the. famous Hyde Park
conference between Big Jim and
his chief, it was we'll known that
they had broken over the third
term issue.
The boys in the know say that
Farley has been assured by FDR
that he does not went and will
not seek third term, in such
definite language that, if he
should change his mind in any
ordinary circumstances, Farley
would be justified in refusing to
go along.
It is generally understood that
Farley fayors the candidacy of
Vice President Garner. Farley
will control a large bloc of con-
vention votes, but Farley will not
try to use them for himself, be-
cause of religious reasons. He sees
in the shadow of Al Smiths
crushing defeat the futility Of his
own aspiration. So his support at
the convention is highly priced
by, the candidates.
With Mr.. Roosevelt definitely
out of the picture, the South, in
all likelihood, will fall in solidly
behind Mr.. Garner, for he alone

! these commands the national fol-
lowing as does Mr.. Garner.
And Mr.. Garner, according to
his campaign leaders in Dallas,
Texas, is in the race to win, re-
CARELESS of Whomever else is a
candidate. !
Garner Is Sound"
General Hugh johnson, the
pepper-pot, in discussing the Gar
ner born recently, made this sue
cinct comment:
Hes sound. The moment he
took the helm of the ship of state
there'd be the damneSt hegira of
crackpots in Washington that you
ever saw.
Which illustrates nothing ex-
cept the fact that Mr.. Gamers
simple and plain philosophy of
government has won for him the
respect of the cynics as well as
of the rank and file Of voters.

missing link continues to menace
life and property and leave us as a
Nation at a point where we would
probably be most vulnerable to at
tack"
The need for an inland water
course, he said. was demonstrated
during the World War.
Munitions and supplies found
their way over the waterways, but
they were still inadequate. Enemy
U-boats were patrolling our coast.
They were actually sinking Ameri-
can ships. They sank trawlers out
side Of Boston while this associa-
ton was in convention there"
River and harbor developments
were held to be "the business OF
Congress and Congress alone" by
Preston Estep, assistant to Repre-
sentative Dewey Short, Republican,

There isn't any uper-individual

right material for filing in the
cracks you can repair the damage
so 1t doesn't even show. It's done
with something called, aptly, patch
ing plaster"
Patching plaster comes in powder
form and is mixed with water to the
consistency Of stiff mortar. Then
1t is stuffed into the crack, which
is enlarged, If 1t is just hairline,
in order to give the patching plaster
something with which to bond.
Smooth of the surface and repaint

The secret Of the success Of one
patching plaster we have found is
that 1t needs little water in the mix
ing. The most serious problem in
patching plastered walls or ceilings
Is guarding against shrinkage. If a
patching plaster shrinks, obviously
you would have two small cracks,
one cash side of the patch. And the
less water the less shrinkage.-

The shower is like any other shower,

The racks are made in standard

set on less than standard centers.

The racks cost about 10 per cent of
the cost of insulation material itself,
and insure permanent unbroken
columns of insulation. Any one in
terested should ask his insulation
company to provide these racks, and
rest assured that there will not be
any empty spaces around the top of
the walls because of faulty install
iation.

your living room? Does it distress
you so much you can't even hear

The plaster has a tendency to set
much more slowly than, say, plaster

more slowly and correct any errors

Only one warning. Once it is in

workability dies out soon after it
