SIX 'THE DORSICANV TEXAS, SEMI-WEEKLY LIGHT, TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1950. Free School Food Not To End, Says Corsicana Agent Shipment of surplus commodities for use in school lunch rooms will not be stopped as erroneously reported in recent news stories originating in Dallas. This was made clear Friday by District Food Distribution Agent J. C. Watson after a communication from government officials.

Certain perishable commodities will not be shipped freight-free, Watson explained, but otherwise shipments will be made in the usual manner. The report was out that the government had "halted" shipment of surplus goods to school lunch rooms. Actually what was done is this: School lunch foods that are perishable and surplus will not be shipped unless the school pays the freight bill. Certain foods were placed in this category, known as "section 416 foods." These foods have not been determined as yet, except potatoes. It was announced that potatoes henceforth would be shipped subject to the receiver's payment of freight charges.

Other foods are expected to be taken from the government's other two and placed in section 416, Watson said. The government's action regarding potatoes, however, will have little effect on Navarro county and the five other counties served through Watson's district distribution office. And here's why: The district has four carloads of potatoes in Corsicana now ready for distribution and three carloads hi received freight-free prior to the government's new regulation. It is possible, though, that lunch prices in schools may be increased slightly should many more foods be placed in the same class with potatoes, Watson said. Among the foods expected to be classed along with consequently shipped at the school's dried beans, dried fruit and apples.

But this is not known as yet. "The whole thing means we'll have to pay the freight on certain goods from where they're stored," reported Watson. He added that the commodities still will be available for shipment. Counties served from the local distribution agency are Navarro, Ellis, Henderson, Dallas, Kaufman and Van Zandt. There are 17 agencies In the state.

All Dressed Methodist Parley Reveals Problem Of Getting Today's Youth Inside Church By CLYDE B- JOHNSON Dally Sun Staff Getting a youth to church Is proving difficult in this fast-changing world of social revolution, delegates from ten Methodist church conferences wer told at the opening session of a three-day seminar here Friday "We get them all dressed and no place to go," commented Rev. Earl Cunningham of Nashville, who is director of leadership education. Needs of way they're thinking the kinds of adult counselors necessary were aired by an Interracial group of over 40 representatives from three states The delegates, ten of them ne- groes, arrived in Corsicana Friday from conferences all over Texas, West Oklahoma and Louisiana, Following a dinner at 6 p. m.

in the First Methodist church educational building, Cunningham opened the seminar by asking the question: "Why is It important that we have trained adult workers with youth?" Here are some of the answers presented by negro delegates: "I think it Is Important because vouth is much more complex now than in the cast generation. Youth must be prepared to live In a different world of social revolution, family disorganization, moral issues." Another said: "The population Is so much more urban, and many vouths are not adjusted to urban society." One suggested that among, youth there exists a "conflict of distin- the good there is a need of guidance to thwart confusion." A negress pointed out the need to "make our teaching relevant to the time In which we live." Other comments on the need of trained adult workers brought out divided homes which create Insecurity, the neceslty of teaching more about how to live now realization that youth today is thinking, and better understanding of youth. Cunningham's next question was "What kind of adult worker do we need?" The response emphasized that counselors must love and understand youngsters, be trained, have faith in God, possess a sense of humor, and have individual Interests in groups. Cunningham quoted results of a church poll which stressed the lack of competent adult leadership that understands youths and their complicated lives. "In recent years," said the minister, "youth has found itself searching for spiritual calm" be- causfi of the war and postwar readjustment period.

Parents, the school and church should co-operate more fully in developing the spiritual life of youth, the delegates agreed. At one point. Cunningham Intimated strongly a wish for religious training In schools, because irlstlan education has been dropped by schools and homes and left up to the church entirely- Following the discussion, a movie on "Student Teaching" was shown. It stressed understanding of maladjusted youths, presented a diagnostic approach and finally a remedial program.

CASON'S FLOWERS 132 and 133 With a background of elementary psychology, the film dealt with a teen-age junior high school student whose home environment and nagging mother had given her an inferiority complex so deep- rooted that a social and emotional adjustment seemed impossible. But her took a special interest in the girl, visited in the home, discovered her amazing talent in art, and through praise, understanding and congeniality, helped the girl adjust herself to school. Cunningham reported the seminar was part of a series of ten to be held over the nation. One also was held in Memphis, starting Friday. Before the discussions opened, Claudia Henson of the Central Texas conference, Waco, led the group in singing and introduced many of the group.

Playing the piano was Dorothy Hardaway, ne- gress of Seguin. Those introduced included Rev. Erwin F. Bohmfalk and Rev. J.

Adults Get Polio, Too, Says Leader Of 1950 Campaign Infantile paralysis is striking an increasingly greater number of adults, Embry Ferguson, Navarro county director of the 1950 March of Dimes, reported today. "Many persons think that the disease only strikes children," he said. "While it is true that about 80 per cent are children, we know this impression is basically Incorrect.

And the disease usually strikes older persons more severely than children, although the death rate is approximately the same for both groups." In 1949, when polio attacked 2,323 Texans, about 25 per cent were adult cases, Ferguson reported. Funds contributed to the 1950 March of Dimes which opened January 16 for a two-week period, support both the local chapter and the national headquarters of the National Fundation for Infantile Paralysis. Fifty per cent of the contributions remain with the local chapter to pay for medical care of polio patients. Contributions to the March of Dimes may be given to the community campaign chairman, or sent to "Naverro County March of Dimes, P. O.

Corsicana, Texas University Of Texas Coach Main Speaker; Awards Are Presented BY DON J. MORRISSEY, Sun Sports Staff Some of the in si on'recruiting university athletes was revealed by the University of Texas line coach, Ed Price, at the annual Rotary banquet for the Navarro Junior College football team, held at the Corsicana Country Club, Thursday night. The Sam Daiches' awards to the best bads and lineman were presented, and the 140 in attendance saw a color movie of the Texas-Baylor football game. Price, a former Corsicanan, school's athletic participation is not the only extra curricular prog- gram offered, but It was one of the best to develop and train the male students. Speaking of the senior schools he said: "The great man hunt is on.

The senior colleges arc looking over junior colleges and high schools for men who will be playing In the next few years." The Daiches' award went to Billy Hopson, voted the best back, and to James Bradley, chosen as the beat lineman. The recipients were voted the trophies by their teammates. The Daiches basketball trophy for the most outstanding NJC basketball player of this season was shown. Abe Goldberg announced the award winners and presented the trophies. Recruiting Athletes Leading into his talk on the recruiting of athletes, Price spoke about the recent trouble within the NCAA.

He said the dissension arose, not from recruiting, but in the methods used and the amount of subsidy offered. "Recruiting," he said, "is. an old custom. Even churches resort to this method when they have a vacancy to fill. They offer all they can for the best man to fill the pulpit." Price said the interesting of athletes to a certain schol involves two things, recruiting and subsidy.

In recruiting, we get a boy to visit the schol so he can look it over, study the courses offered and meet those he'll be associating with. Ex-students do a big part in getting athletes interested in the various schools. "This is 99 per cent of the program," he said. "The subsidy, scholarship, grant in aid or athletic scholarship is secondary in nature," he added. He divided the subsidies into two and four-year scholarships.

The first plan, he explained, is offered a boy and the athlete is not required to aid the athletic program during the first year. But, he added, he must make good in the athletic field he has chosen in the remaining is contribute to the the grant stops. "Very few boys, given one-year grants in the Southwest conference are ever dropped," he stated. The four-year plan, where the athlete is guaranteed his education, is the most popular, he said, and more and more schools are coining, to it. "You can understand that these youths are carefully selected and thoroughly looked over before a scholarship offered," he added.

Price said when a boy is contacted to enroll in a school he is advised to choose a school in which he can get an education in the fjeld he is interested in. And also, that the boy la urged to attend a school in his home state or the state where he intends to live after graduation. "There's no sense In having a boy go to school In one state and then settle in another. He'll lose all the friends and contacts he hag made," Price explained. A college, the line coach said, is interested primarily In an athlete who will "stay the route." The day of the tramp athlete is over.

"There are many reasons why a boy chooses a school," the speaker declared, "and many times It's because of friends or relatives In the town, or friends already in school. "Once we had a fine athlete choose Texas because he liked the food." Price pointed out that all athletes are not college men. They are expected to keep up in their school work and to fit into the college's program. Praising athletics as the best extra-curricular subject, Price said: "In athletics, a boy gets to know what comnetltlton means, he learns sportsmanship, teamwork, co-operation and to take it." At the conclusion of his talk he showed the Texas-Baylor film and furnished comments on the movie. Co-Captains Introduced Team Members of the NJC football team were Introduced by Co-Captains Bill Reed and.

Don Granger. The co-captains were presented' by Coach Ken Clark, Ass't. Coach Guyle Akridge also was introduced by Clark. After the introductions, Coaches Clark and Akridge were presented gifts by members of the squad. Granger gave Clark a pen and pencil set, and Akridge received a watch.
