The decision of the Board of
Directors of the Texas Centennial
Exposition to reopen next year is
the result of a general deiriand by
the business interests of Dallas and
Texas that the Exposition should
carry on during 1937.
Only in the general layout will
the ' 1937 World's Fair resemble
that of 1936. There will be new
shows, new concessions, new ex
hibits and new buildings. A ma
jority of the large exhibitors are
'anxious to continue through the
coming year. They point out that
during the year 1937 there will not
be any major Expositions in the
United States with the exception of
the Exposition at Dallas.
"We are going to reopen in 1937
with a better ant mure extensive
World's Fair," said Director
General, Harry Olmsted. "It w 11

Vjpiv 17 I Following the business session
turned by the president over to
Miss Katy Sams, who hud arranged
a program, which consisted of a
devotional by the A section of the
4th grade, following wh:ch three
girls sang. Then young Miss Nancy
Ann Ramsey did what was called an
acrobatic dance, in which she dis
tinguished herself. Young Miss
Mare-aret Mlironv also snoweu an
aptness for the stage. A short play
by the A section of the fifth grade
followed in which the idea was to
correct some errors in English,
which was effeoftively done. ! The
next number was a group of songs
bv the Senior boys, which was so
much enjoyed that it received an
encore, but did not respond. Follow
ing this was a piario solo by Miss
Helen Rudisill and the last number
was the address by Prof. Guy B.
Rhodes, his syfejedt feeing, "What
Is Happening To Our Schools?" Mr.
Rhodes speaks interestingly ana
well, and his speech was- enjoyed.
A free offering was taken, which
has beeaj substituted for the
regular membership fee.
The assembly was then invited
into the Library, where various
games were played, conducted by
Prof. Oscar Carter. Last but by
no means least, was the luncheon
served in the home economics room,
of which Miss Marian Morrow has
charge.
RED CROSS ROLL CALL

TO THANKSGIVING, NOV. 26th
The greatest Humanitarian Organiza

Cross, depends solely on Contributions
from the people of America. Madison
County has responded liberally in recent
Annual Roll Calls and I believe she will
do so again.
I have now an abundance of member
ship cards, posters, etc, and am calling
for Volunteers frorii any section of the
county who will give some spare time in
securing members.
In next week's issue of the News-Record,
we will designate committees for
the varfous localities who will have
charge of the Roll Call for 1936.

SMILED WHE N DEFEATED
It may be some comfort to the no point did ambition for office be-
people in Madison County who
voted for Governor Landon to read
the following taken from the New
York Herald Tribune and reprinted
In the Christian Science Monitor:
TO GOVERNOR LANDON
It was no great secret that Gover
nor Landon had no strong desire
to enter the presidential race. At
fog his outlook. When he was
persuaded that the opportunity ex
isted he entered the field with his
sense of perspective and his sense
of humor intact. So he remained
in the exciting convention days
and throughout the grueling cam

Governor Landon would doubt

LIFE'S SIDE SHOW
By WICKES WAMBOLDT
IT REALLY IS FUNNY
There is a comical side to the
position in which th- United States
finds itself regarding Japan
fretting about Japan as a competi
tor in our domestic and our world
trade; and here is why the situation
is funny.
In 1850 Japan stionply desired
to live to herself. Siv wanted no
dealings whatever with foreigners.
She wanted theni to keen out. And
she want'-d to stav at home. Hu
th-it would not do us. No sir.
So in 1 H !" 2 , wo dispatched a
squadron of war vo-sel- to Japan :n
command of Commodore Perry, wl'.o
under the muzzles of his menacing
trims. compelled Japan to s'frn 'a
treaty of fri' ndship and commerc"
with the United States.
Thus, forced into obnoxious re
lations with hated foreigners, Japjri
decided to learn 0(.P;(I,.tni w-,v, to
employ Occid'-ntal method", and to
out-Occidental the Occidentals
So it is funny to see us. who un
der threat of our navy, forced Ja
nan to open ud. -nnd thus to become
a great Intentional powr, now
afraid of Japan as a great Inter
national power.
Couldn't you imaa-ine Commodore
Perrv and those birds who sent him
to. force Japan, sitting iiD in their
coffins and irjbbl'lnr their eyes in
amazed consternation?
Yes. it really is funny. And the
gods, if they have a sense of humor,
as they probably have, must be
grinning.
As the fellow said after he set
the prairie grass on fire, "Some
times it's easier to start a thin?
than to stop it."
OR BASEBALL
A news dispatch says th'at the
Igorots (dog-eaters) ;f the Phil
lipine Islands, "play" R., rough that
their games sometimes take toll of
life and cracked skulls.
What game- do the Igorots in
dulge in which are so dangerous
to lives and skulls? Perhaps they
learned f, play football while we
were teaching the Filipinos the
j beauties and r f ineimo's of civili
j zation.
NERVE
! In the authenticated talc of their
travels, two brothers, Nicolas and
.MaH'co PoJ Venetian merchants
, who, with their M,n and iv hew,
i Marco I'- lo, were the greate-t
! travelers f the Middle Ages, ven-
luicd on one ol th ir journeys into
'ii-tant and unknown lands with a
store of precious stones for the
purpose of trade.
Arriving at the court of one
B'arka Khan, a powerful Tartar
prince, who, delighted at their
coming, received them graciously
and with high honors, they present
ed him with the whole of their jew
els as a g-ift. Whereon the prince,
highly pleased and not to be out
done in generosity, caused them to
receive at least twice the value of
their jewel.
That episode teaches something o
other.
Some men know when to take ad
vantage of an) opportunity, while
others know how to make an oppor
tunity to be taken advantage of.
Pluck, luck and foresight "are a
mong the factors which make a mail
successful.

led the conntry'as to hia real views
upon foreign trade and tariffs. By
the time he could correct this im
pression, the mischief had been
done. Inexperience hampered the
campaign and so did those admir
able traits of the Governor, calm
ness and restraint. The very
qualities that made him a delight
ful companion and would have aid
ed in making him an admirable
President lessened his effectiveness
before the general public.
But, as the issue proved, no other
candidate and no other Campaign
could have altered the result.
iGovernor Landon fought a hard,
clean fight, he gave his best 'and he
need have no regrets. He ltd a
gallant and a highly useful battle

crushing defeat can erase. He re-

The Mars Hill-Boiling Spring
game for this week has been moved
to Shelby and will be played Friday
at Two-thirty, at the Cleveland
Cloth Mill Park. This game was
moved at the request of Boiling
Springs as they had been playinjr
at Mars Hill for the past several
years.
Mars Hill showed more power
here Saturday against Presbyterian
than she has shown this year. The
blocking was almost ntrfect. The
decisive score of 45-6 was register
ed. Of the seven touchdowns
scored, six of them were the r:sult
of runs averaging thirty yards or
more. The Mars Hill team was
forced to kick but one time during
the entire game. End runs were

visitors running from one side of
