Honor Basketball Team

Dinner in Fellowship Club House Suc-
cessful Affair

By One of the Gang

On Wednesday evening, Nov.19, a few
of the fellows who are particularly inter-
ested in the success of our haskethall team
celebrated the flying start the team has
made by having the members as guests at
one of Charley Long's famous fried
chicken dinners at the Fellowship club
house.

To say the least the evening was a great
success and a "good time was had byall".
Xeedless to say the dinner was well served
and good to eat. Each one of the players
received a picture of the team as he was
introduced to the diners.

Following the dinner, with Howard
File presiding, several humorous and true
stories were told on the various men pres-
ent and quite a fun fest was indulged in.
This program included the Oppossum
Club national anthem led by Charley with
Tommy at the piano.

An imitation of Chick Sale was given
by Rol Staley that, as the boys put it,
was plenty hot. If Rol keeps up he bids
fair to become as famous as the well
known author-actor himself. It was a
surprise to many to learn that our own
Rol was the more or less pious minister
with the bald head and frock coat who
exhorted his followers to contribute to
the charitable milk fund and who so clear-
ly pointed out the lesson to he learned
from Old Mother Hubbard and her dog.

After the program a few games ofcon-
tract bridge and African golf were in-
dulged in, prizes being won by Oscar
Knoehle, Diz Wills and Brownie.

A Real Old Timer

the early settlers around this starch fac-
tory. Tall, thin and deliberate, he is as
active and as interested in the world and
it's affairs now as he was when he took

his first job here 17 years ago, in August
1912.

Although Mr. Sherman did not start to
work for Staley's when the plant first

opened he had worked on the construction

crew when the Pratt company was build-
ing the mills, for by trade he is a plasterer.
Between that time and his coming to
Staley's he worked for the Wabash a
while and for a short time in a mine.

But Mr. Sherman liked Staley's and the
Staley plant seemed to like him, and after
lie was once well installed here he be-

Kentucky, and probably found many of
his native state friends here.

is a gasoline filling station.

This information came to us rather
straight, hut unwillingly, as it were.
Charley Fitch told it, hut he really didn't
intend to, for in telling it he had to
tell what happened to him as a result
of this lack.

Charley had been spending Sunday
down in the old home town and about
the middle of the afternoon started hack
to Decatur. He knew that he was low
on fuel, but thought he could make it to
Fffingham. He mis-calculated, however,
and too many miles from any filling sta-
tion, in a nice wet rain, the car stopped
dead.

Charley walked, then, quickly but not
quietly, and made a vow that the old
home town wasn't worth all the depend-
ence he had put in it.

So far the plans are mostly secret, but
they sound good. When we listened in
on the conference we heard mention of
candy and gifts and music and fun and
lighted Christmas trees AND other sur-
prises.

Probably we could tell you more

Getting Ready for the Feast

With the approach of the holiday season housewives begin to think
again of sweets which will add variety to the menus and will be ready for
the very probable company. A pantry well stocked with emergency
canned goods and a cake or cookies ready makes the housewife welcome
unexpected company much more readily, and makes the last minute rush
less hectic. Some recipes which have been found good are given below:

been out and come in cold, do not go to

Many colds, especially among children,
come from wet feet. When any member
of the family comes home with wet feet,
take off the shoes and stockings, and take
a warm foot bath. Get up a good circula-
tion in the feet by rubbing well with a
rough, warm towel.

Gargling occasionally helps keep the
throat free from cold germs. A good
gargle is Dobells solution, which can be
purchased at any drug store, or a solution
of 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm
water.

If, in spite of your care you feel that
you are taking cold, get all the rest you
can. Good wholesome light food and
drink plenty of milk and fruit juices.
Above everything else if you have a cold,
or feel that you are taking cold, stay far
enough away from o t h e r s so that you will
not spread it. Remember to "cover up
your coughs and sneezes".
