Official Paper for Morrow Connty
"I Like Me, I Do"
DROMPTED much like the author
of the once popular song, no
doubt, is a fellow citizen who comes
to the realization that he is a re
markable fellow. His conclusions
are reached by deducing:
I have good health. The Good
Lord and my parents gave me a good
body and it has withstood my care
lessness and the punishment I have
given it. In spite of a few imper
fections, which I realize and min
imize, I appreciate the fact of my
physical well being.
I am neither rich nor poor, though
by working diligently at my job I
make a comfortable living for self
and family. I like to work, and have
always found recompense in liking
the work I have to do, whatever it
may be. Grumbling and complain
ing have ever resulted only in last
time
I have a good wife and family and
enjoy them. I am not jealous of my
wife and do not crank at my chil
dren, though they may be no better
nor worse than others. It's what I
think of them that gives me a satis
fied feeling.
I live in a small town and must
forego pleasures and privileges that
may be had only in a city. Though
the gossip's 'tongue may bite at me,
I have warm friends whose associa
tions I daily enjoy. I know the
town's business and have a great
big interest in it. The business of
our town is not so large but I can
comprehend it. I am really quite a
fellow here, while in the city I might
be on the relief rolls. I am a small
town guy and I thank God I have
sense enough to know it. In our
town friendships are mutual and we
don't have to stand in awe and ad
miration of great dignitaries, be
cause there aren't any Whenever
one fellow gets to feeling he is bet
ter than the rest, he's got to lick
the whole gang.
I am a wonderful fellow because
I let my religious and political con
victions affect only myself. I have
known some people to actally suffer
because they could not get other
people to think the same way they
did. I don't see how anyone like
that could enjoy any happiness here
or hereafter. Let those who will fuss
and fume over those subjects, but as
for me, I don't care what the other
fellow thinks so long as we live
peacefully together.
I have habits, some good some bad,
according to your views. I wouldn't
like to have them subjected to the
ballot of my family for fear of what
might happen to my dog and pipe,
but I do go to church occasionally.

British Agreement
Concerns Wool Men
"The reciprocal trade agreement
which the United States department
of state proposes to negotiate with
the United Kingdom contains on the
list of articles on which concessions
may be considered, practically all
items of the wool schedule, except
raw wool," says R. A. Ward of Port
land, general manager of the Pacific
Wool Growers which markets the
wool of some 2000 western wool
growers. Mr. Ward has been attend
ing the National Wool Growers con
vention at Salt Lake City, where he
was one of the speakers.
"If concessions are granted on
these manufactured wool products
the effect on the wool producer will
be the same as if the tariff were re
duced on raw wool. It will mean
lower wool prices," continued Ward,
"because American manufacturers
will have to price their goods to
compete with the imported yarns,
woolens and wool garments from
Great Britain, and this means they
will have to pay less for their wool."
Not only should American wool
growers write their senators and
congressmen protesting concession
on wool and wool products, but the
workers in the wool and wool textile
industry should do likewise, Mr.
Ward believes. Wool workers should
realize that our wage rates are much
higher than those prevailing in
Great Britain and cannot be main
tained if there is any reduction in
the tariff on goods produced by
lower paid European labor.
Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Jacobson
have taken one of the new Jones
apartments.
February Hazards
Cited for Motorists
Although the month of February
annually shows the lowest automo
bile accident record for any month
of the year, it is actually one of the
most dangerous for drivers who do
use the highways, Secretary of State
Earl Snell declares.
Last year, for instance, February
had less than half as much highway
travel as the month of August, yet
more than three-fourths as many
accidents were reported. In other
words, approximately half again
as many accidents per vehicle mile
occurred during February as during
August.
The nature of February hazards
is clearly shown by last year's ac
cident reports. Of the two thousand
five hundred accidents occurring in
this state during the month, about
one thousand five hundred, or three-
fifths, happened on wet, snowy or
icy pavements.
"I need not comment on these
statistics," declares Secretary Snell,
"except to urge drivers to travel at
moderate speeds at all times. Feb
ruary is a month of extremely
changeable weather, and a month in
which drivers meet many sudden
changes in highway condition.
"With light travel lessening the
collision hazard, we have an excel
lent chance to show our ability as
drivers by hanging up a low-acci
dent record even though weather
and road conditions may be bad."
ADULT CLASS TIME CHANGED
Mrs. Daphne Simpson reports that
the time for the meetings of adult
education classes has been changed
from afternoon to evening, the first
meeting being scheduled for Feb
ruary 16 at 7:30 p. m. in the high
school home economics room. Mrs.
Simpson requests that everyone who
is interested either in parent edu
cation or home furnishing please
attend this first meeting and the
subject of study will be decided by
a majority approval. If there is not
sufficient attendance at the first
meeting the classes will have to be
dropped.

SKIPPY7t
as Mr. Smith
in "The Awful Truth" coming to the STAR THEATER
next Sunday and Monday.
Skippy, a wire-haired fox terrier, is rather reluc
tant to bark about his age, his birthplace or bis pedi
gree but will howl, growl and do nip-ups when hi!sl
screen career is discussed. He's really a prima donna at heart and takes
his movie stardom seriously. He's been putting on the dog especially since
appearing in "The Awful Truth." In his new role he has to hide hsi eyes
with his own paws whlie playing hide-and-seek and bring certain articles,
including a derby hat, into the scene at the right time. He considers it his
greatest acting triumph, surpassing his memorable performance as Asta in
"The Thin Man" and "After the Thin Man." He is owned by Harry East.
