. PICKENS NEWS Q
Pickens Clubs NominuteM Mrs. Vornodo
AS Teacher Of The Year Candidate

The As-You-Like-It and Herr
tage Clubs of Pickens take great
pride and pleasure in presenting
Mrs. Hugh R. 4edary Ida) Varna-
do as their candidate for the Tea
cher of the Year.
PickenS is a small town, but it
has been a source of great salts
faction for its citizens to know
that its school is second to none
in quality. The moving spirit be-
hind that quality is the principal,
Mrs. Varnado. She has given I'm
failingly of her time, her talent,
and her intellect to make the
Pickens Elementary School and
one that puts the individual child
and his needs as its main function.
Mrs. Varnado received her ALB.
degree in English from MSCW in
1914 and began her teaching career
in CORTLAND at the Pamela County
AIS. in 1914. She has done grad
uate work in Mississippi College,
University of Alabama, University
of Chicago, and Mississippi State
University.
A remarkable fact pertaining to
Mrs. Varnado'S teaching position
is that in the IS years she has
taught, she has made only three,
changes. From 1914 to 1918 she
taught at CORTLAND, from 1918
to 1920 she was with the Tunica
County Agricultural High School
and from 1928 until the present
time she has been with the Pick
ems School in the capacity of Eng
fish and Latin teacher, sponsor
of the Beta Club and Dramatics
until the high school was moved
in 1950-at that time she became
the principal and English teacher.
Upon moving back to Pickens in
1925, Mrs. Varnado became active
in the Pickens Parent Teacher
Association, serving as its presi-
dent in 1926-1927.
During her administration, the
school has taken an active part
in the life of the community. The
school chorus has taken part in
club programs and in services of
the various churches. Under her
direction, the school has partici-
pated in all community drives and

UNCLE DOCK FROM DUCK WRITES
Says All We Need Is Old Maxim: Mother
Home and Heaven. and Root Hog. or Die"

front and keeping up TIL e fight.
Rarely anyone nowadays lays any
thing aside for rainy day. In time
of trouble they scoot for the Wei
fare, which means expecting the
neighbors to pay the bills"
"Root Hog, or Die" ought 10 be
established policy in this country,
then everybody would be rich, and
they ought to be happier. If ~Root
hog, or die" became the slogan of
this land, every fellow would have
higher appreciation of life and it's
blessings. He would take better
care of his earnings; he would have
more respect for his home, his
neighbors and himself. He would
cease to tolerate the great army
of tax eaters who get on the pub-
lie payroll and hang there like a
leech the rest of their lives.
Mr.. Editor, you can watch all
the folks who get on the payroll
who then start complaining about
how hard they have to work, and
how much they do. But do you ever
see one turning loose such job, and
finding one that pays better with
less work. You bet your life, if
any of them were working on their
own, and didn't get to work any
earlier than now, they'd starve to
death, because they wouldn't earn
enough to pay Board.
The great trouble with living TO-
day is that most of what we earn
has to go to support the middle
men. By middlemen, this doesn't
mean yours truly who always
stays. in the middle, but the hun
dreds of folks in between the tax
payers and the seat of Government.
I read somewhere where a little
boy wrote to the President and
asked him for a hundred dollars,
the boy having gone nutty about
buying something which struck his
fancy. The president sent the boy
five dollars, and thought that
would end it. But the boy sent
another letter, and he said: IT
thank you Mr.. President, but I
notice you sent that money by
Washington, D. c., and you might
have known it would be 95 dollars
short when it got to me-"
Well, Mr.. Editor, I guess we
should be thankful for anything at
all these days. So thank the Lord
for the mosquitoes this year. They
didn't bother us much until this
week, and then that confoundea
hurricane south of us blew EN- up
here.
AS, ever, your friend,
