Jack Watson and his family are driving all the way up to Indiana for Christmas, and Fred Wilkins has finally been discharged from the Pratt Veteran's Hospital. He is leaving next week to drive up to Lansing, Mich. to see that new son of his and see if he wants to keep him. Fred looked wonderful when we saw him the other day, and he also hopes never to see another hospital bed. He hasn't seen the new addition to his family as the baby was born shortly after he was operated on down here. Christmas Visitors Several of the folks here are expecting friends and relatives to help them celebrate Christmas, Mr. Pulsipher, father of Wayne and Leon is visiting his sons for the holidays. And Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hansen will be visiting their son and daughter and son-in-law, the Lee Barnes, and Walter Hansen, over the Christmas week-end.

It will be an additional reason for celebrating for Marilyn and Ernie are getting married the 20th of December. They plan to spend their honeymoon between Miami, the Keys and Bradenton Beach, Fla. Sick Call We were sorry to hear that Mrs. Klages is ill and has been in bed for several days. We hope she has a speedy recovery, and that she will be up and around before very long. Carlton Johns is all O. K. now after his slight brush with a car. He's minus a means of transportation until his motorcycle is repaired. He's been busy making plans to visit his folks up in Chicago for the holidays. His mom gave him his round trip ticket for a Christmas present.

Roberson Sr., of Screven, Ga. The wedding is to take place in the near future. And all of us that know E'Vonne wish her all the luck and happiness in the world. House Warming Lyle Mattson and the young men that live with him were hosts last Saturday evening to a group of friends.

Reynolds of Coral Gables, the Girl Scout Council is budgeted for $24,908.53 for its operations in 1948, an increase of 72.4 per cent over its Chest allotment of $14,440 this year. "Through the Girl Scout program, we aim to give all these young girls a wholesome, stimulating and interesting experience that will help them to develop to their fullest capacities as useful citizens," said Miss Creary. "An effort is made to maintain high standards of performance, yet have lots of fun in carrying out the program." Negro units in all sections of the county have a total membership of 324.

Sees Television As Aid In Education

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP)—The Rev. Archibald McDowell, moderator of Notre Dame University's radio club, foresees the time when university extension courses will be conducted by television. Father McDowell has been in charge of televising Notre Dame's home football games this fall. He felt they had proven successful. "Two major types of educational television programs present themselves," Father McDowell said. "One is closed circuit or broad-cast shows under the direct sponsorship of the educational institution; the other is use of commercial educational facilities during the periods the station is not normally on the air." The expert said television could prove particularly effective in conveying visual information of a not easily-repeated nature to numerous classes at once. It could be used for expensive laboratory demonstrations and explanations, or where the demonstration equipment was delicate, he said. "Television as a regular tool of the classroom could assure greater uniformity in teaching and testing procedures and prove particularly valuable in guiding students in laboratory work," he added. He also described the use of television as a teaching instrument in reaching isolated audiences such as students confined to hospitals, adult education centers and university extension courses. "It is not inconceivable," he said, "that the extension courses of tomorrow may be conducted by television. . . Television as an educational and, hence, social force, cannot be overestimated."

CONFIDENCE . . .

The greatest satisfaction a prescription druggist can enjoy is caused by a physician bringing in the prescriptions of his own family. When the doctor has confidence in the integrity and skill of a druggist—the patient need not hesitate.

Have you bought your Caval-eon? Many students have failed to order their Cavaleon. If $300 worth of subscription money isn't turned in soon it will be impossible to have a Cavaleon this year. Last year students said they wouldn't buy a Cavaleon because their pictures weren't included. This year pictures of every one will be in the Cavaleon. Buy your book from your student council representative and be assured of getting your Cavaleon next June 1st. It's something that you can look at years from now and always enjoy.
