Then too, the Minstrel, held at annual Jaycee the PJC Auditorium, as usual was one of the major attractions of the past year. Jaycees also provided a $600 backstop and chain link fence for the Softball diamond at Culbertson Park. They climaxed the year's work by entering a huge float In the Paris Christmas parade urging "Put Christ Into Christmas." Paris Kiwanians listed another big year under the leadership of President Jessee Thrasher.

Of course, their major money raising project netted close to $500 when they held their annual Pancake and Sausage Day. An estimated 1,000 'pancake eaters' were served 21 pounds of sausage, 120 pounds of pancake mix. 14 gallons of syrup, eight gallons of sugar, 63 gallons of coffee, 25 gallons of milk, three gallons of coffee cream, two odd pounds of oleo and three cases of half pint milk.

They sponsored a contest on the three best essays on the "Need of Poultry Production on the Farm" and gave 200 baby chicks to the winners. They sponsored the first football game played at home by the Paris Junior College football team and also held the annual banquet honoring the Dragons with Jack Wilson of Baylor University as speaker.

Paris Lions Club members headed by President Cedric Town- lend, who was succeeded this year by Blake Lee, also enjoyed one of their most successful years both in membership participation and assistance for the needy of this community.

After his lecture, a man came up from the audience and asked Dr. Swain to give him a few moments. He explained that, when he was sixteen years old.

he had fallen off a horse and injured his by himself. 1 have had men tell me: "Anger rises up in me and before I know it, it shakes me like a storm. 1 fly to pieces and 1 them have it. But people understand me, and after a while they forgive me and everything is all right again." But, of course, people don't understand, and sometimes they never forgive anfl everything isn't all right again. People do not like a man who lacks self-control.

He does not have their confidence or Lions also carried on their major program of providing glasses to all needy individuals in this area, especially school children.

In some games, he had broken half a dozen clubs. When once someone spoke to him while he was playing billiards, he brought the down on the edge of the table and broke it. "How." he asked, "can I control this violent temper of mine?" Dr. Swain answered: "If you will put your faith in God and believe that He will give you self-con- you will be freed from the handicap of your bad temper. It is as simple as that."

The God controlled person becomes the power filled person. The secret of this, like a other secrets, is known to many. It is found in the words of the Bible, "As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God." It is a tremendous thing to realize that you can become a son of God. As such, you can have power over yourself, power to control your temper and make yoarsf.lf a better person. "As many as received Him." the Scriptures take Him your mind and into your soul.

Give yourself to Him without holding back. If you do that. He will give you the power of self-control you need. You can master your temper before it masters you. Here are three rules that lead to the art of self control: 1.

"The other half range from 25 to 75.

Some of them let their licenses expire or never had them in the first place." Drivers can help Sweeney solve one major problem in 1954.

Sunday, Jan. 24 UfV-All signs pointed today to a toughening attitude by the Allied side toward 21 Americans, a Briton and 325 South Koreans who are sticking It out in a pro-Red camp although it now is unlocked and virtually unguarded. Gen.

John E. Hull, U. N. Far East commander, was known to feel the the Reds refuse to take no longer any concern of his command with the passing yesterday of the armistice deadline for processing balky repatriates. Sources close to Hull said he believes the Communists eventually will claim them, after using their present status for propaganda purposes.

Yesterday Maj. Gen. J. K. Lacey, senior Allied member of the Military Armistice Commission, told the Reds the Allied side would welcome any Communist statement on "your for removing them as rapidly as possible" back to the Red side.

In Washington, U. S. Defense Secretary Wilson said the 21 Americans must make up their minds soon if they want to return to the Allied side. He said "their pay is going to be cut off shortly." On the other hand, top Defense Department officials in Washington were described as surprised and concerned over action by the Army hi filing court-m a i a 1 charges against Cpl. Edward S.

Dickenson, who quit the pro-Red camp and returned to the Allied side. Defense heads were said to be concerned as to what effect the action would have on the 21 still in the camp. Peiping radio today pictured the 347 prisoners as playing soccer and basketball and leading "their usual normal camp life." The Indian Command, which marked the deadline yesterday by opening the gates and withdrawing 200 custodian troops, said the prisoners have a week's supply of Red- transported food. The Reds will be allowed to bring in more if they choose. The Indians also planned for "humanitarian purposes" to send Indian Red Cross representatives into the camp.

For the time being the prisoners were virtual orphans of war. The Reds refused to take them back by way of emphasizing their charge that the Allies acted illegally in setting free nearly 22.000 Chinese and North Koreans from an anti-Red camp.
