William Harry 'Moore, pastor Of the First Methodist church.

Rev. Moore is preparing a series of special Sunday evening sermons and chose this to gain reliable information from the young people of his congregation and others. Among the question asked were "How much does it cost for a boy to take a girl on a date?" "Do boys spend more money than is necessary?" "Should a boy's ability to spend money be the basis of his friendship with a girl?" "Does a boy have to spend money on a girl to hold her friendship?" Of interest to older students who may be thinking of marriage were several of the remaining questions, including: "Should a girl know, the state of a boy's finances before she marries him?" "Should a girl marry a man who has no life insurance or savings account?" "Are any debts justifiable? If so, what ones?"

Relatives of the Donna man were known growers, it is known the lists are not complete and any grower not receiving ballots may obtain them by requesting them. Standing Outlined Many growers have asked the question what the status of the present existing marketing agreement program will be in the event of the disapproval of the proposed new program. It is pointed out that in view of developments in the Valley during the past several months, the disapproval of the proposed program could be interpreted but one way--that is that growers do not desire a marketing agreement program of any kind. Therefore, if the program is disapproved by growers. it will be necessary to terminate the existing programs, which will leave the Texas citrus industry without any marketing agrement program for the 1939-40 season.
