DAILY BIBLE THOUGHT Selected by Pastors' Association Wist ye not that 1 must be about my er's 2 Get Poll Tax Ruccipt TIME HAS a habit of slip-ping by and before i one realizes it, something important has been left as paying a poll tars or securing an exemption certificate which enables one to vote in the elections held in Texas. There will be more than one time in the coming year when a uian or woman who has neglected to get the necessary slip of paper will regret the neglect.

For there will be elections in cities, counties and the state, in which they will want to take part, and without a poll receipt or certificate of exemption voting will be impossible. The receipts and certificates are now obtainable from the county tax collectors and will be until midnight of January 31. After that it will be too late. It may seem a bit early to be urging people to fix themselves for voting, but better be early than late. The race for nomination to the office of governor will of course overshadow all others, but there will be some other highgrade contests and the county offices will not all go begging, nor will those for the lesser places, and on top of these will lie elections in some cities that will create, interest.

But there will be nothing doing for the person who is not armed with a receipt or certificate. The person who is not a voter has no ground on which to advocate this or thai candidate, to praise or condemn the govern ment. "Whether we like it or not, the law requires that the receipt or certificate be exhibited at the ballot box, and there will he plenty opportunities to exercise the document during the coming year. So don't forget to get one before January ends.

The News does not. know bow many Texas has. but it does know that whatever the number it is not p.nough. There are many companies which have to meet, in inadequately furnished quarters which should have an armory commensurate with their need. The National C4uard is a part of our national defense.

If it. is it would be a badly informed person who would say it is should have the proper housing and equipment. Texas ought be aide to do as well by its National Guard as Oklahoma is doing, and as many other states are doing. The XPWK does, mil pretend to say liow this be done, but thai there is a way is certain, and that wny should be found and put in operation soon. Tiie experience of Texas whoji the, selective draft wns in operation in which showed hundreds of young men with no idea of what military training was, and many were under physical handicaps which military train ing would isave avoided or remedied, should not.

be repented, Every National Guard unit fihoulfl have its armory, whore the men could be drilled and instructed in Indies as well as in persona! hygiene. It would tend to make better and would some, day be a benn fit thai can noi bo bad in any other wny. The News stands ready to back up any effort that may necessary to secure an armory for the loenl National Guard unit, nnd hopes that those who are in position to do so will start, such a movement without, delay.

EW defenders of Broadway, so shockingly depopulated by the Hollywood hcgira, insist that those who have made the trek soon tire of the sunshine, the Spanish palazzio and mosaic lined swimming pool. And in a short time are sighing for Times Square. Yet when Sidney Skolsky, a confirmed Broad way He, was reassigned to the street after four years in Hollywood, by his paper, he chucked his job with the ringing accolade: is dead!"

It i.s true 'some of the old timers develop a nostalgia for former scenes and they come back, lounge about the Lambs, stroll along a Broadway that has become largely honky- tonk, and in a few days are quite ready to hit the old Santa Fe trail again. Corey Ford's correspondence letterheads at his retreat iiear Freedom, New Hampshire, whee he turns out his corking stories, arc gotten up iu the manner of the Ozark county store. They are weighty with such homely trade boosting axioms as: "A Ford writ, story is a good writ story. Get your vrritings off Ford." And: "All kinds of writing done quick arid neat." Across the bottom is strung this: "Rabbit hounds, hird dogs, guns, cameras, fishing tackle, hot, sold and swopped." Ford's roommate and companion during his New York days is also a literary isolationist. Being Frank Sullivan, who cannot he budged out of his native Saratoga Springs.

New York no longer has any outstanding Cameo Kirbys. Such as Richard Canfield, Honest John' Kelley and the like. The only notorious gambler I ever met was Arnold Rothstein, who, pistoled in a New York hotel, refused to name his assassins. He had written a courteous note about something in column and suggested I drop in to see him if in his neighborhood. His stationery read "Insurance Broker." 1 had, of courser seen him around, a fellow with fcver-bright eyes in a face the sickly shade of a flounder's belly.

In restaurants he always demanded a seat with back to wall and invariably traveled with his bodyguard. I never got around to calling, but one'evening in a drug store off Times Square mutual friend introduced us. He was soft- voiced, quite shy and with a few exchanges of monosyllabic talk seemed anxious to hurry on. In restaurants afterward when I was there he would frequently send over a waiter to suggest a complimentary bottle of wine. But never, wherever we were, did he offer to speak, and if I caught his eye he would look quickly away.

Most of the romauzas about the sleek and dapper Nick the Greek have the Paul Bunyau genesis. Reputedly a wizard with dice, he is often rumored to arrive in town and risk $100.000 on a single throw. Also frequently rated as worth $500,000 one day and making a quick touch for fare to Philadelphia the next. Yet a.gambling fellow tells me he, is one nf the showy players and rarely loses or wins more than $500, but the impression i.s etched thai he is a reckless plunger. Experts in reactions to gambling say Flo Ziegfcld could win or lose a huge amount with less emotional reaction than anyone who enjoyed hefting as a diversion.

TVin or lose, there was not a flicker of change in his facial expression. He used to play in the highest stake poker game in town, one indulged by a select coterie of millionaires at an upper avenue hotel. He was desperate one night for funds to launch current Follies, and when the last hand was played at 3 a. m. he was $80,000 loser.

And besides, you can sac my position just newly married and boneymooning, it might look as though 1 wanted to be well, left alone, lor a while." Old Ur. Fellows laughed.

"Well, I'd be glad to speak to her about it, Nina, but you your mother's a bit obstreperous when it comes to acknowledghvg ill health or fatigue, as it is in this case." "Speak to her husband to Richard, then." "That might be better." "Call him up, see him, and and let me know what he says, will you? If that doesn't work, though I'm sure it will, I'll get on the job." "All right, child. I'll do that. Now you won't alarm yourself nbout your mother's condition, will you? Rest is all she needs." "Dr. Fellows, that was an attack of grippe she liad, it?" "Yes. It was grippe." They said goodby and, as always in her thoughts concerning Richard, Nina found herself torn between two conflicting things; what was right and wixat The door-bell rang, and Nina took a deep breath opened it.

"Nina She backed away, hastily. "I asked you to oome hare, Richard, dear," she found herself using an absurd, Sunday-school voice, "because there's well, clandestine, about it. Tins is a business conference." "May I put my feet up on chair, "and light a cigar? May I keep my derby on then?" Nina said reproachfully: "Richard." And he said: "Of course I am bad." She moved to an isolated walnut diair. "Sit down, won't you?" "Thanks." He was evidently humoring her. "Honey tells me that you re planning to leave on a cruise, in about 10 days," she began innocently.

Richard pulled out VIM cigarette case, but stared at it, without pressing the spring, "Ye-s-s." He frowned a little. "Nina, I couldn't do anything but agree to go urge Honey to, in fact, since It involved matter of her health." Something more than terrible feeling of attraction she felt for him, welled up in her a feeling of admiration, as well. He was fine. It was especially moving, because it was the first time she had felt it about him. Her love for him had beim a wrong thing, and therefore, his love for her was, too.

She had had acknowledge that. But now he was and she had hard time to from going over Into his arms. 'It WM A Miracle' Quite she found asking quectlon that had been in her heart for weeks. me, how do you feel about Honey?" She had to know. He lit his cigarette now, blew a puff of smoke up to the ceiling.

It looked like a cloud ngainst the blue of the walls. "I wonder If I can explain to you," he answered slowly, weighing his words. "I'm tremendously of her, Nina. love her, I think, too; "Why did you marry her, Richard, so suddenly? You have to have some greater urge than thinking you love someone to do a thing like that." He laughed a little bitterly. "You had one, didn't you dearest?" "Yes softly.

She was looking dowri. "To answer your question: I thought, at that time, my feeling for Honey the biggest thing I had ever Nina Nina, dear, am I to be blamed if do a perfectly honorable thing, and then, ft miracle our meeting?" She said, more softly still: "How can you be?" "It miracle, you know. I think I knew it from the first. but I wouldn't admit it to myself." "Oh! Who manaiJjs these a dreadful, cynical sense of humor! Oh, Richard, couldn't we have met before?" They were looking at each other from their two little stiff chairs. Nina thought tjint they both looked taut and to go to each runners wnitlng the crack of the starter's pistol.

She was afraid that one of them would break away nnd ruin all chance of further thoughtful discussion, that she said: "Wait although neither of them had moved. "I called this a business conference, in a way, it is.

"'Divine His under-lip shot out for a moment, and one of his eyebrows arched itself, cynically. "1 going to tell me that this separation us!" "It she told him, sovcrly, "if we try." "Do you want little Nina?" He said, after an instant's pause: "Hester never forgot her And it was so true that there was no answering him. After a minute, she said: "But we can't go "No." nothing, is it, Richard?" And when he echoed: "Nothing!" it was a passionate outburst of all the things their love might in that one word, "Nolhlnff." And now'he did cross over to her.

Took her two hands in bis, and looked down at them, solemnly. "Nina," he satd, "if I put every effort that's in me lo forget you while I'm a to realize whot wonderful 'wile 1 have he smiled, "to be good; nnd then, if all my endeavors fail, if nothing can change my loinging for you. will you?" "Wait, dnrling, till we have failed." But the barest bint of a possible iuture happiness with Richard sent the blood thundering through her veins. Her cheeks turned, and the little pulse at her wrist hammered so that he felt it. He bent his lips to it, and murmured: "Why, you're not the doctor, beloved.

You've got to be serious. We're two disgraceful people." And lie said: "We're two people in love, all the dictates of your heavenly little conscience can't alter it. Oh, I'll try all he silenced her interruption, "and you'll try.

He wanted to kiss her, and she wanted to have him, but some feeling of loyally to David made her turn away. Silly, this one view of the tremendous disloyalty of her siic snid.

To The Citizens of Paris Junior College District Your Board of Education will soon select a site for our New Junior CoMegc building, and tiie matter of location is of vital importance to aM of cur people.

Therefore, the following facts concerning proposed sites in West Paris are submitted for your earnest consideration: The Bywaters estate located between 5th and 0lh streets and south of AuatLn strent containing 40 acres of land. Sewerage, gas nnd water mains cross this. Or the Walker land, located between 5th and 7th streets north ol Graham street, containing 38 acres of land. First, either of these proposed sites Is located close enough to one of the main highways leading into our city to be eaatJy located by all people who would ever want to find it, and close enough to be seen by tourists passing through, thus affording much influence in advertising our city. Second, either of these is large enough to nfford ample room for future growth of the college to en- nble the college to best serve its constituency.

They arc also large enough to provide proper provision for securing either WPA c.r PVVA assistance to build the college if cither is available. Third, both these proposed sites are within the dly limits of Paris and therefore nccessable to all college constituency. Fourth, both proposed sites nre on high enough elevation to offer proper safeguard to the health of those who attend the school and those who labor there. Therefore, for those aforesaid i-ensons and many others aside from the advantages offered by any other pronosed site within the city of Paris, the Board of Trustees of our school district is urjred to choose one of these locations.
