PAGE SIX THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS IMS THURSDAY, NOV. 26, 1942 Penny Milk For Franklin School Will Be Sponsored By TPA At a call session of the Frank lin P. T. A. on Monday afternoon enthusiastic endorsement was giv en to ,a proposal to .underwrite for one month a government-sponsored plan to supply milk to all school children at the lunch hour at a penny a bottle. According to the pla,n A. B. Slagle will supply the milk at three cents per bottle, a hulf-cerjt, reduction over the usual price. The government will pay one and one-half cents per bottle; each child, one cent, and the P. T. A. the remaining one-half cent. This will make possible a glass of grade A milk to each child of the Frank lin school who desires it at a price within the range of all. It is expected that the plan will receive enough support to make possible its continuance beyond the trial month so far voted upon. It is estimated that the P. T. A. will .need to raise from $30.00 to $50.00 per month iro order to make the plan a success. The P. T. A. has taken the intiative in the confi dent belief that many citizens of the community will assist them in the raising of .necessary funds. The health committee of which the Rev. J. L.

OUR BIG COMPLETE STOCK ON HAND NOW IS READY FOR YOUR INSPECTION You Will Get Better Goods for Less Money So you had better COME NOW ana be prepared DO YOUR SHOPPING AT Joe Ashear "We Clothe the Family'' Wake Island The page of splendid history with the U. S. Marines, wrote at Wake Island, in the far Pacific, has been translated into the lan guage of the screen with splendid results. Completely devoid of romance, it is basically a day-by-day factual record of the terrible onslaught of the Japanese sea and air forces, vastly superior in numbers, upon the garrison. However, there are humorous moments, thus making the pioture very enjoyable. Flying Tigers This first tribute to the Amer ican Volunteer Group, or the Fly ing Tigers, as they are better known, has a timeliness about it that should make it popular. Thrills abound in the picture, and while romance would seem to have little place among a group of men whose business is killing Japs, it has been introduced to give the picture a human touch. Besides there is quite a bit of comedy. Alma Cabe Enlists In Naval Reserve Alma . Cabe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Cabe, Yeoman, 3rd class, U. S.
