HAZEL CLARK, Reporter - The sincere sympathy of th is depart-

ment is extended t o Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Goforth in the recent loss of Mrs. Goforth's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Jones. Mr. Jones, who was formerly employed by the Frisco a t the North Shops, passed away on November 23 and Mrs. Jones followed five days later, on November 28th. Death in each case was caused by pneumonia.

W e a r e very proud of John B. Rogers, who has recently been elect'ed Presi- dent of the Hea r t of the Ozarlts Poul- t r y Association. Mr. Rogers has also gained quite some fame a s a breeder of fine White Wyandottes and has re- ceived a request from Jefferson City for pictures of some of his prize-win- ning chickens to be placed on exhibit in the museum of t he Capitol Build- ing.

Of course ou r 1 2 inch snow of Thanksgiving Day is now pas t history, but we a re sure i t wlll be long remem- bered by Mr. and Mrs. Dawes. They became snowbound a few miles from town on the Campbell Street Road. and, a s i t was only 10 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Dawes declded to h ike to town for help, leaving Mrs. Dawes in the car. However, it was 4 a , m. be- fore h e returned with the necessary help and another two hours were re- quired to finally reach home.
