Provisions for fifty children were
made when members of the Sham-
il rock Business and Professional Club
^entertained with their annual
^Christmas tree party Friday eve-
ning of last week at the home of
Mrs. Earl Roger on East Second
Street. The tree is held each year
as a “Big 81ster" affair, with each
member bringing a child from a
needy family of the city to receive
gifts from the tree
Each member of the club supplied
an article of clothing and a toy for
, the tree, while various merchants
and citizens of the town donated
fruit, candy and nuts and small
*\toys. Merchants who contributed
18 to the tree included Matt Lewis, Per-
f|ry Bros., Plggly-Wiggly, Puckett’s
;i Okocery, Shamrock Produce and
' Post-Office Drag.
•Santa Claus attended the tree In

jjfcral such activities by clubs of the
Tlfcy in making preparations for
children who might be neg-

have been used for a club party to
a room in South Ward School for
a tree for needy pupils.

CORN-HOG PROGRAM
COMMUTE IS NAMED
COUNTY-WIDE MEETING WILL
BE HELD IN WHEELER ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Naming of a county committee to
control the new government corn-
hog program for Wheeler county
featured a meeting held in Shamrock
at the chamber of commerce offices
Tuesday morning. The meeting was
the first of a series of three held
over the county in charge of Jake
Tarter, county agent. Around 30 or
40 farmers were present for the
meeting here.
John Hefley of Twitty community,
J. W. Stauffer of Pakan comn.unlty
and Jim Trout of near Mobeetie
form the committee to take charge
in this county.
A general meeting has been called
at the county courthouse in Wheeler
Saturday afternoon at one o’clock
when farmers from all parts of the
county will gather to organize.
Other meetings held by Tarter
tills week included a second Tues-
day, held that afternoon in Mobee-
tie, and a third set for Wednesday
morning at Allison.
The excess pork and lard on the
home market the last few years,
due to declining exports abroad, has
driven down hog prices and forced
an adjustment of both com and hog
production through the government
program, Tarter explained.
Every farmer in Texas who has
during the last two years grown and
sold hogs, or grown corn, will be
given an opportunity to cooperate
with the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration in reducing com and
hog production in 1934 and 1935.

lection of the location will be made

started on the cemetery road and

cording to Hefley. The projects ap-
proved the past week are In addi-
tion to those already slated for the

CORRECTION
The name "Tom Glerhart” car-

Miss Frankie Allison of Memphis
visited friends here Christmas day.
With the temperature rushed down
to 22 degrees Tuesday and to 20 early
Wednesday, Shamrock prepared for
real winter and unearthed overcoats
and earmuffs from beneath the pile
of summer clothing needed during
the warmtn of the past several
weeks.
The belatea cold snap came unex'
pectedly Monday night after a sun-
ny day for the Panhandle’s Christ'
mas. Although northern and east'
ern states are in the grip of a snowy
blizzard, this part of the country
is not in the path of the moisture,
aocordlng to the Amarillo weather
bureau.
The heaviest freeze of the year
was early Wednesday morning when
the ground was covered with a white
coating. Ponds in the city were fro-
zen over Tuesday also when the cold
was felt more than Wednesday as a
sharp north wind accompanied the
first cold snap.
The cold was general over the en-
tire nation with most of the north-
ern states reporting huge drifts of
snow and raging winds. In the Pan-
handle, the temperature hit 18 de-
grees at Amarillo at 4 o'clock Tues-
day morning, while the maximum
was 26 degrees later in the day. At
Lubbock the’ thermometer dropped
from 34 to 20 degrees in a short
time Tuesday.
No snow for the entire Southwest,
and slightly warmer weather weath-
er was predicted for Thursday, ac-
cording to press reports.

SWINK’S NAME LEFT
The well-known Panhandle wind
blew a happy Christmas into the
yard of J. W. McCord for his small
son, J. W., Jr. The following article
taken from the Dalhart Texan gives
adequate proof that the day of mir-
acles has not passed.
“This morning The Texan received
a postal card from J. W. McCord,
Jr., of Shamrock. Across the face
of it was a note to the editor which
read: ‘Please locate Jo Ann for me.
Merry Christmas!’
“On the other side was this mes-
sage:
Shamrock, Texas,
Christmas Day.
Dear Jo Ann:
Santa Claus could not bring
me any toys much this Christ-
mas and I felt almost like cry-
ing when I looked into my
stocking this morning bnt when
I walked ont into the yard I
saw something beautiful coming
down from the sky and, would
you believe Hi, I caught the
prettiest little toy balloon and I
sure do thank you for playing
Santa Claus for me.
“Send me your name, and
maybe I can play Santa Claus
for you some day.
“J. W. McCORD, JR.
“The balloon arrived about
9:30 a. m. today."
“The card had a slip of paper on
which was scribbled ’From Jo
Ann,’ Dalhart, Texas, sewed across
the top.
“The Texan will greatly appre-
ciate it if Jo Ann will let us have
her name and the time she releas-
ed the balloon.
“If this Incident is true it is a Be-
lieve It or Not of the first order.”
The McCord family reside in the
Northeast part of town near high-
way 66.

Clara Harvey of Shamrock, a
freshman student In the West Texas
State Teachers College, made a per-
fect record for the first split se-
mester which ended November 20th.
Miss Harvey’s record, a straight A.
is the highest it is possible for a stu-
dent to make.

Texas State Teachers College will

One robbery and an attempt at
another brought a little Christmas
excitment to Shamrock to add to
the unusually small number of two
arrests made during the holidays,
according to local officers this
week.
The Fort Worth and Denver Rail-
way station was robbed of approxi-
mately $18 or $20 sometime Sunday
or early Monday morning when
thieves broke In the doors of the
station with a crowbar, taking three
dollars In change from the safe and
a number of small freight packages
amounting to around fifteen dollars,
according to T. H. Sonnenburg, agent.
The robbery was discovered early
Monday morning when the station
was opened by an assistant taking
Sonnenburg’s plaoe during the holi-
days.
No clue3 could be discovered as to
the robbers, according to Sonnen-
burg. The doors of the station were
badly damaged.
Perry Brothers store was entered
by means of a skylight but the in-
truders were unable to open the
safe, and a preliminary check of the
stork has so far failed to reveal that
any merchandise was taken. After
removing a glass from the skylight
the prowlers let themselves down
Into the store by means of a knotted
rope. They pried a bar off of a
window to make their departure,
leaving the rope dangling from the
skylight.
Shamrock had an unusually quiet
holiday period according to officers.
Only two arrests were made over
the week-end, one Friday night and
one Saturday night, both for drun-
kenness.

Funeral services will be held at 2

Rutledge died early Wednesday
morning of double pneumonia. He
had been 111 the past week or two
and his condition became steadily
worse until attending physicians had
expressed the belief Monday that he
had slight chance for life. Hit
death still came as a shock to his
friends however, as it was believed
his strong constitution would aid
him, as last year when he rallied
from a serious illness.
Rutledge was bom in Gainesville
in 1904, and at the time of his deaj)
was 29 years and two months of ’■
