THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
By Hozel Bronnon

Beginning January LIST, 1948, we
foresee a four-year period of strict
law-enforcement in Holmes County
with the most harmonious spirit of
cooperation between County Attor-
new Pat Barrett and Sheriff Ellis
e. Wynn's office Further than that
we believe Holmes County's She
riff and County Attorney will be
backed up one hundred percent by
our new district attorney, Mr.. STAN
ny Sanders.
All three Of the above gentlemen
mentioned were present at thh Tues
day night meeting of the Holmes
County Law Enforcement League.
All three emphasized their stand on
Iaw-enforcement.
We know it is popular conception
that candidates make a lot OF pro-
mises in campaigns they have no
intention of keeping. But we'd stake
ANYTHING we have on Ellis Wynn
carving though every single pledge
he made to the people of Holmes
County during the recent political
campaign.
Mr.. Wynn stood on his feet be
fore the people attending the League
meeting Tuesday night and said:
az have pledged on my honor that
I will give the people Of Holmes
County strict law-enforcemen. That
I intend to do. / will let actions
sneak louder than words"
The people of Holmes County by
a vote of nearly two-to-one endors-
cd the stand taken by Mr.. Wynn In
the second primary election. In Du-
rant. where the b~ootleggers are
thickest and where they nave more
stooges than anywhere else in the
County the vote was more thar
three-to-one for Mr.. Wynn, n man
who made a public stand for strict
not intend to let down their efforts
law-enforcement.
We are certain these people do
now. They will support the newly
elected officers in any and every
way possible in order to help homes
County once again assume its right
FIJI place as one of the largest richest
and finest counties in the whole
state.
There is no organization IN the
world more valuable for training
u boys than the Boy Scouts
The same goes for Cub Scouts
that group which takes in the youn-
ger boys not yet old enough to be-
come Boy Scouts.
The training these young boys
ecure in the Cub Scouts gives them
an important background for good
citizenship training as well as
a lot Of good wholesome recreation.
Parents should certainly encour-
age their children to become Cub
Scouts. Many lessons are learned
easily here that are much harder
learned at home.
Most of the women we know are
in a distinct quandry wondering
whether or not to follow the new
longer trend in dresses. Many have
voiced the desire to keep dresses a
elittle below the knee" but haven't
been sure that they would have
courage enough to Withstand the
4sales talk in our leading stores.
We have always admired the peo-
pies of Texas,now we are indebted to
the women of Dallas who have led
the revolt against fashion with the
4little below the knee" club. Write
in membership in this club is said
now to be over 10000 women all
over the US.
Well, we haven't said we're going to
join the Dallas Club but we hereby
give public notice that we intend to.
We suppose our dresses will be a
little longer (maybe as far as the
hem can be let out) but we solemnly
declare that we are not going to
wear them to our ankles in the day
time.
