recommendations were:
u-That a fourth-do"n
forward pass, incomplete IN

any other incomplete forward
pass and be put in play at the
point of the attempted play
rather than be recorded as
touchback and given to an OPP
moment on the 2O-yard line.
(2)-Goal posts should De wa

and point kicking.
GA more strict interpreta-

rule of 1910 forbidding blockers
downfield until the passer has
thrown the ball.
(4) - The substitution rue
should permit a player TO re-en'er
the game once during the same
quarter in which he has peeh
withdrawn.
THREE BALLS

should be used, with attendants
on the sideline. keeping the TWO

That considerable interest is being
shown in the Christmas Decorative
Lighting Contest now under way in
Henderson is seen in the fact that al
ready many homes have been en-
tered with statements from the resi-
dents that they intend to try their
best for the $25 in cash prizes being
offered for the best Christmas dec
orations. 1t is expected that num-
Der of merchandise prizes will also
be offered.
The West End Garden club is
sponsoring the contest and will
name the judges to make the tour OF
the town when the entries have been
completed. Homes and lawns will be
viewed during the evening hours
starting at 7 p. m and ending at 10
u. m. Monday, December 70. Prize
winners will be announced as soon
after as possible. Those in charge
assure that judging will be complet-
ed and prizes distributed so tat they
may be considered additional Christ
mas gifts for the winners.
From the interest already shown
we believe that Henderson will pres
ent the most beautiful spectacle seen
here in many years" said Mrs. w.
P. Gholson, chairman in charge for
the lighting contest. Because Of the
simplicity of the rules every home
within the city limits and two miles

Such eager steps TO run away :.
(You do!)
(And here's new onc)
FALL CLEANING.
Go clean a house completely
Is difficult 10 do
iWhcn baby, right behind you,
Insists on cleaning too.)
II straightcn up the living room
And pause to take look:
The baby's cleaned the cases
OF every single book.
rearrange the kitchen
And move from room to room:
I'm followed by the baby, who
Attacks with mop and broom.
l gather all the playthingS
| And store them in box,
And by the time I've finished
The baby wants his blocks.
The chest he cmptics quickly
, or shoes and caps and toys,
| The basket full Of trash he spreads
Upon the floor . . 3. with noise.
"Thc house is Clean" l venture,
"'TWill last until the spring."
But thanks to Baby's helping n C
l haven't cleaned thing.
