Active at Ninety-Two

When one wishes to know
of past Smyrna history it is
not unlikely that the best and
most accurate answers to
questions can be gained by re
ferring to Mr. Tom Jefferson
who is celebrating his 92nd
birthday this week. Mr.. Tom,
as he is often called by his in
innate friends, has experience
ed more winters than any
other man in Smyrna and has
kept tabs on all the events of
the last three-quarter cen
tury. His uncanny memory
of trivial occurrences seems to'
make the young marvel at his
keenness. When asked of the
date for the last time that the
bridge washed out, he gave to
the day when it happened
For one 90 years young, such
a memory seems miraculous
What is the secret of this
eternal alertness and good
health? Mr.. Tommy will
shrug his shoulders and reply
Fun and moderation in all
things is the best cure for all
bodily and mental ills" No
medicine has half the effec
tiveness that is gained by
proper thought to healthful
living. The firemen have al
ways recognized Mr.. jefferson
as a strong influence in MAX
ing their organization func-
ton properly. This is ev J.
denced by their yearly party
in recognition of his birthday.
For many years he has been
one of the old stand-bys who
has brought to Smyrna its eK
cellent fire department. AIR.
Jefferson is probably the oil D.
est fireman in the state al d
has had more years of servi Re
with the company than al by
other of its members. He
never fails to make his daily
trips to the firehouse to Oh at
with his friends about local
and state affairs. These visits
give the townspeople its f w
glimpses of its oldest resident.
We wish many more years of
health and happiness to SIN r-
mas own Mr.. Tommy jeff err

Wool Growers Ask
Higher Prices For
1941 Wool Crop

Arizona wool growers, with
prices on Eastern markets rising
steadily, are still holding out for
better return in the 1941 clip.
Buyers already have offered from
80 to 371a cents a pound for Ari-
zona wool-considerably above last
years average price of 26 cents a
pound-but most growers waited
for further price hikes before sell
ing their 1941 yield.
Jerrie w. Lee, executive secre-
tary of the Arizona Wool Growers
Association, reported that 1941
shearing was more than 60 per
cent complete and that this sea-
sons clip would equal or better the
4,471 ,000-pounds of wool sold last
year.
Only about 100000 pounds of
this seasons clip has been sold
Lee said. Another half-million
pounds remained in warehouses;
while growers held out for a
higher price.
The situation of the Arizona
grower was considered a good one
this spring. National defense de
mands for wool were expected to
absorb the entire output while
