|HJC vs.. Sunnower
Set Net Week
BY William Cathey

Not content with their sluggish
performance against the Wesson
Wolves last week, the Holmes Jun
Tor College pigskinners are in a
vengeful frame of mind as they make
intensive preparations to give the
Moorhead group plenty to think about
when the two teams tangle on
Branch Athletic Field this week,
either on Tuesday night or Wednes-
day afternoon. Definite time will not
be announced until Friday.
The reason for such diligent work
outs is the Bulldogs cannot eradi-
cate from their minds the humiliat-
ing 81 to IL rout suffered on the
Sunflower gridiron last season and
the men of Coach ]. R. Campbell!
will have no occasion for jubliance
until such a debacle is avenged.
The entire outfit suffered no in
juries of serious nature in the tough
tilt last Friday and with Harry Bal
kun, the "flash in the pan" on re-
turning punts, gradually recovering
from the effects of a torn ligament
in a leg, the prospects Of the entire
Goodman aggregation's being in ex-
cellent condition for the fray ap-
pears very promising.
One of the mainstays will be miss
ing, however, in the parsonage of Dan
McCafferty able field general. who
had the misfortune of mourning a
broken leg at Wesson last week when
Edgeworth unavoidably and wholly
unintentionally bumped into his
mate. Charley Thomas or Wesley
Kuykendall will probably work at
the quarterback station in the alb
sence of the first string gridder.
The Holmes mentor will send his
charges through one Or two scrimm-
age sessions this week in an effort
to polish the blocking and tackling

Extra Point Beots
Rosedoie, 7 to 6

Durant caught the Rosedale Tiger
by the tail last week, twisted it and
checked the usual ferocious advances
of the ferocious advances of the
of the feline to emerge as the victor
in a battle by a score of z to
S in as thrilling a clash as any fan
has ever witnessed.
One of the poorest crowds Of the
season saw Tiger claw Tiger.
Coach Dudley Brumfield of the
invading forces saw his teams un-
furnished record of seven straight
victories meet a savage stumbling
block at the paws of a fiercely fight
ing local crew, and the Homecom-
ing Day celebration of the former
Durant mentor was spoiled to a great
Both ~elevens battled one another
viciously in the initial half with each
yielding ground grudgingly. The
Deltans charged back in the typical
manner of a wild beast in the open

drive set up when Neal, visitors

institution where a penniless
girl can go and get the best cd
thopedic care in the world? No
patient has ever paid a cent for
treatment there, and several
hundred Mississippians have
been given new leases on life,
rehabilitated in body and spirit,
not only relieved of suffering,
but enabled to make their own
way in life. Truly, as its slogan
states, the Hospital for Crippled
Adults is where natures liabili-
ties become community assets.
Because Rotarians have taken
the responsibility for this work
the hospital has operated at cap
acity ever since the Tri-States
Association for Cripples vas
formed three years ago. Thru
this organization, the Rotary
Clubs of three states support the
hospital and this year they are
trying to raise $4,000 to keep
the Sc beds of the hospital oc-
cupied the year around.
The Hospital depends on the
support of Rotarians. The Mem
phis Rotary Club, largest in the
area, alone raises $4,000 for
the Hospital.
Rotarians have merely taken
the job of raising this money.

ults. The hospital is sponsored by
the Rotary Clubs of Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Mississippi and hundreds
Of persons from those three states
have been restored to activity and a
productive life through its efforts.
Fifteen persons from Holmes coun-
ty have received care there.
Already a large number Of Du-
rant, Goodman and West citizens
have made contributions to this hos

the Durant Rotary Club. We call
your attention to this list on page
three.
If there are any other persons
who desire to contribute any a.
mount, however small, we asked
that you turn in that donation to
any members of the Rotary Club OF
you may turn it in at the News Of
flee.
The Crippled Adults Hospital is
open to any adult cripple in the
three states who could not receive
proper medical attention otherwise
and who is recommended by the To-
cal Rotary Club. All of our citizens
share in it's benefits and it is be-
lieved that many of them will be
glad of the opportunity to contribute
to it's support.
Following is ONE information a
bout the work at the Hospital and we
ask that you examine these facts
carefully and then if you feel like
making a contribution do so with
the assurance that your money will
go for a worthy cause

Rotaiians Raise Funds For Crippled
Adults Hospital Al Memphis

Gates the work of any other instltu-
ton or organization in the world.
Only physically handicapped white
persons 81 years of age or over, OF
average mentality, that can be ma
terially benefited by treatment and
are unable to pay for it are ad-
mitted.
It was started in 1928, and since
that time has physically rehabilitat-
ed thousands of boys and girls, men
and women, and enabled them TO
become self-sustaining and in many
cases to care for dependents.
1t has given services to people
from 10 states, but now confines
practically all Of it's service to Ark
ansas, Mississippi and Tennessee, be-
cause nearly all of it's support comes
from that area.
Not one patient has ever paid
one penny for services.
Not one penny has ever been paid
any doctor for services rendered.
1t does not receive help from any
state, county or city-nor is it in the
community, or any other fund-be-
ing supported entirely by voluntary
contributions.
1t does not consider it's services
as charity, even though no patient is
admitted that can pay for service or
obtain it elsewhere-it is an invest
ment in the human u of our
country.
1t costs the Hospital approximately
$125.00 to physically rehabilitate an
average case.

Farmers To Vote
Marketing Quota
On December 7
All Producers Are
Urged To Show
Favor of Program

On December z you will be expect
ed to go to your voting precinct and
vote your conviction for or against
the Marketing Quota for 1941. If
2-3 of the votes cast are for the
Marketing Quota, we will have the
farm program in 1941, if less than
2-3 of the votes favor the Market
ing Quota then we will not have the
farm program in 1941.
If 2-3 of the farmers voting do
not favor the 1941 program, we will
not have:-
l. Parity Payments.
2. Soil Conservation Payments.
3. Government Loans on Cotton.
8. Government Cotton Acreage
Reduction. F.,
With our export markets prac-
tically cut off as a result of the
war, we could not expect a satisfac-
tory price for our cotton. We all
know what happened in 1914; the
same thing would probably happen
again,
The following Is the record of the
| number of farmers of Holmes Coun
ty voting in the r~eferendums the
three years. :.
1888 - So percent.
1889 - SO percent.
1910 - 81 percent.
If you favor the government farm
program, or disfavor it, you should
vote. When a small vote is record
ed it shows lack of interest in the
program, and lack of interest IN the
Part of the farmer will make it more
and more difficult for your con-
