Our thought is that Columbia Falls Will nave 10
make considerable progress if it is to have PIA
as effective as the present organizations IN west
Glacier-Apgar, COram, Martin City and hungry
Horse. Those clubs bubble over with worthy pro-
jects, and achieve results
We've written an editorial and still favor the
idea of changing the name of Columbia Falls high
school 10 some such designation as North Flathead
high ~
When it comes to a PTA club, it is about time
Columbia Falls parents turned out IN numbers 10
learn more about schools and sponsor school benefit
projects. There are many parents In one teacher
room as have turned out to organize PTA in this
town.
Members of the West Glacier-Apgar, Coram,
Martin City and Hungry Horse PTAs have long
demonstrated interest in the high school, as Wen
as their own grade schools which is the primary
concern. We recall West Glacier donating money
to buy solo and small group music for the hlgh
school band. Boys State delegates get dlstrct-Wde
support and so do all the rest OF the high school
activities.
People here in Columbia Falls bending over
backwards to avoid antagoniZing folks up the line,
at the same time may be creating situation Where
they give our neighbors the idea they are organlz-
ing super -duper PTA" taking active members
away from other PTAs in smaller communities A
person can belong to two PTAs. You own two
horses, but it would be quite trick to ride two at
the same time.
We wonder if the solution wouldn't be to Or
ganize a PTA council with two or three delegates
from each of the clubs. Matters of area interest and
high school problems especially could be presented
to this group for submittal to school authorities
We think each PTA, Columbia Falls included,
has most of its concern with grade school prob
lens If there is to be "super-duper PTA" for the
high school, why not organize it specifically as such
1t is so easy for somewhat larger community
to step on the toes of its neighbors. MIX

dashed out to straighten the can
and put the lid on it. When she
started to lift the can she dis

Friday night, Sept. 10th with the

Southern Raises
Tempo For Opener

Baton Rouge, La, Sept. THE
Southern University Jaguar Cats,
powered by the popular T forma-
ton, opened their preliminary
drills here on a two-a-day basis.
This schedule will be followed
until classes begin, when only a
single practice will be the order of
the day.
Calisthenics with special empha-
sis on getting into shape as quickly
as possible will be number one on
the gridders' slate and if the usual
customs are followed, the locals
will see some rough work during
the first 10 days of practice.
The Cats board of strategy will
definitely face a mammoth task in
meeting Texas Southern in the
opener. To further haunt them is
the realization that the Cats were
defeated by the Texans in Houston
two years ago, which was Texas
Southern's first win over the To-
Gals. Last year the Texas Tigers,
laden with wealth of freshmen
talent, dropped a 1856 contest to
the Cats in an arc-light tilt played
here but this fall those frosh have
a year of play behind them.
Returning this season after a
two-year sojourn in the Armed
Forces is John Manor, a big tackle
from Florida. He is definitely
needed to plug a gap made by sew
eral departing gridders at the
tackle slot.
Early season observations reveal
that the Jaguars, who were hard
hit by losses, will field a fast, ag-
gressive outfit that will give no
ground and must bear watching as
the season ages. They will get
better and possibly will reach a
game-peak day or so before camp
is broken for the trip to Houston.

of enthusiasm shown by the head

men include Jesse Bishop, Robert

Estus Hood and Wiley White, let
ter men of the year 1851 Tigers
after seeing service in the United
States Army, have added assur-
ance that the Tigers will come up
with another big aggressive line.

Jordan could develop into two of
the most outstanding line men in

White will give the Tigers three
top-flight centers. Quarterback,
another serious problem most of
the 1853 campaign, is another
bright spot as the Tigers go into

ris Brown, Washington, D. c., as

Thomas Weston Of Chicago, won
the senior mems division by de-
feating M. A. Cary, Detroit, and
the junior boys title went to a
Baltimore high school lad, 16-year-
old Gordon Chavis, who turned in
an exceptional sharp piece of golf.
Mrs. Ann Gregary, Gary, was un7
able to defend her women's cham
pionship due to leg injury sus-
tanned recently. In taking the top
money, the cigar-smoking Sifford
toured the tough links in one un-
der par for the ~ holes.
Persons from such distant points
as Los Angeles and New York

dentally, this was the first ma

Williams from Pascagoula, are
fighting it out for the starting
role at the signal calling post. No
matter who wins this "free for all"

against the formidable opposition
the Tigers will face before they
hang up their toys after their
Turkey Day" tussle with their
arch rivals, the Alcorn Braves.

shown by the Tigers at this point
has been the slowly forming squall
