rugged 190-pounder has all the
physical attributes to be a star.
Langan did a great Job last fall In
spite of his lack of college experi-ence.
With one more year of ma-turity
in gridiron ways he could be
a sparkplug of the Red Raider line
at his left guard post.
Both boys are contributing more

Langan caught on Eppie Barnes'

The 200-pound Langan was All-

fastest and most aggressive lineman
in Bixler's camp. A Theta Chi fra-ternity

thought in the knowledge of what
you buy in foods, especially as per-tains
to dairy foods and produce at
this time of year. Dairy foods, so
precious and so necessary at al]
times, are a case of getting health
from wealth—for they are far richer
in basic nutriments than any other
food. Yet. you will find A-Deal still
trying to bring you a finer, fresher
produet, Their dairy department
strives constantly to maintain the
highest standards, to assure you
that the name on every container,
every bottle, every package signifies
the best. Full bodied, creamy milks
and cheeses, eggs that are daily
fresh and reliable in hot months,
highest score butters. Nationally-known
brands prevail more than
ever in.'this department. '
Freshness and peak-quality play
the most important part in produce,
where known brands and known
quality are mainly a matter of
knowing your store. Farm fresh
items as a rule do not carry a label*
but they carry a name, that becomes
known, liked and respected anjy
through constant sales and satisfied I
customers. Mr. and Mrs. John Q.
Public—and especially the young-sters—
deserve the best.
In passing, may we suggest a few
kind-to-your-budget items for this
week. The famous and popular
Louis Sherry Strawberry Jam at A-Deal
is offered at only 25c for the
12-ounce jar. All popular- brand
cigarettes are now only $1.75 per
carton with matches. And for an
ever-useful stock up suggestion,
what could be better than fine
Maryland Tomatoes at only 29c for
Three number 2 cans? There's quite
a canned goods stock up sale going
on at A-Deal and if you'll notice the
ad beside this news item, you may
find some splendid ideas. Ask about
prices per case lot, and say, don't
forget A-Deal is more than happy
to deliver your order FREE. That's
an exclusive service in a super mart

Ready for Occupancy
As Fall Term Opens
New School Year Starts
Wednesday; Teachers to
Meet Tuesday Morning
'With the opening of school next
Wednesday, the new Seaman ave.
school will be ready for occupancy
and the children residing in the
northwestern section of the village,
after many years, will have the
most modern building instead of the
worst school in Freeport. The an-nex
which has been maintained in
Christ Lutheran Church will be dis-continued,
and, in addition, approxi
mately 125 children from the Archer
st. school will be transferred to the
new building. This is being done to
avoid part-time sessions in the
Archer st. school.
Superintendent of §chools John
W. Dodd has called a general faculty
meeting for Tuesday at 9 A.M., to
be followed by a principals' meet-ing.
The afternoon will be devoted
to meetings in the various buildings
with the principals when arrange-ments
will be made for the opening
of school the following day.
The new Seaman ave. structure
consists of 18 regular classrooms, a
double kindergarten, an auditorium
with a seating capacity of approxi-mately
500, a regular size gym-nasium,
cafeteria, music room and
visual education room, industrial
arts room, library, health room and
offices. The grounds are in the
process of being developed with suit-able
paving, sidewalks, landscaping
and the necessary playground fenc-ing.
.
Work in/Other Buildings
Leo F. Gmlyn, president of the
Board of Education, announced that
a conside/able amount of summer
work had/been done in all buildings.
The high school building has been
completely repainted inside. This
includes classrooms, hallways, audi-torium,
locker room, toilet rooms
and faculty rest rooms. In place of
the tan walls which were character-istic
of school rooms years ago, the-classrooms,
corridors and other parts
of the building are painted in colors
which are more pleasing to the eyes.

...Chubby Jackson
"A press agent's dream" . . . That's the way Lo best describe this
Freeport High School graduate who, although only thirty years old, has
won international fame as an outstanding musician and showman.
Chubby Jackson has been in show business all of his life. It could truly
t^i^.P1^ he- was "born backstage and took his first toddling steps
behind the footlights. His parents were both headlines in the theatrica
world, and his grandmother anc
aunt held degrees In music, anc
with his mother, Mrs. Dorothy
Jackson, WGBB radio star, helped
guide him in his career.
* » •*
It's always been "Chubby Jack-son."
Even most of his best
friends know him under no other
name. He fulfilled the traditional
high school prediction and went
forth into the highly competitive
musical world to win faane and
fortune as a leading: exponent of
popular music. He became the
Baron of Bebop, and his "Happy
Monster" routine, wth his music-for-
musicians arrangements be-came
the talk of Tin Fan Alley.
Prior to leading his own combina-tion,
Chubby was one of the most
sought after five-string bass play-ers.
He has been featured with
such top-notch bands as Woody
Herman. Mike Reilly, Johnny
Messner, Jan Savitt, Henry Busse,
Charlie Barnet and Raymond
Scott. His recording sessions in-cluded
the all-star combos of X.oi
Armstrong and Duke Ellington
CHUBBY JACKSON * * *
This stellar showman remained the sociable, unassuming and hand-some
fellow that won him so many friends ever since his high school
days. He likes to entertain and he has a sincere interest in athletics.
Contrary to the physical build of most musicians. Chubby Jackson Is built
like a two-hundred pound prize fig-liter,
*- * • •
Band leaders like Guy Lombardo who remain favorites year after
year know the true value of public demand. Chubby Jackson follows
Lhis same mode of operation. When swing was king, he supplied his
followers with the best; when be-bop caugh,t the nation's fancy, he
became its most salient proponent, and now, when square dancing is in
the lime-light, he has gathered together a musical congregation consisting
of leading personalities in this field of music. His performers arc featured
stars of stage, screen and radio. The future plans of this enterprising
'oun gman destine 'him to top-stardom in this true American form of
dancing-entertainment.

l . h r i l l i n j r eye-witness accounts of the throe-day revolution that
broke out in that city on July 18.
Miss Wheeler lived during the sum-mer
in a house built and occupied
by Gen. Jorge Ubico, former Guata-mala
dictator.
. Police Headquarters was located
on the same street as the insurgent
forces started fighting, the police re-turned
the fire holding the rebel
forces at bay until the Government
troops arrived.- A government man,
suspected of being am.ohg the fo-mentors
of the outbreak, was shot
and fell wounded against the. front;
door of the Ubico house. The girls
took him into the place and gave
him first aid, but he later succumbed
to his wounds'.
• Suspecting that Gen. Ubico was
involved1 in the revolution, the troops
turned their' guns on the j\puse and
shot out the windows. Miss Whee-ler,
the only girl in the'place who
could speak Spanish; was afraid she
might be taken away for question-ing.
However, fighting finally end-ed
in the area ari'd.none of the oc-cupants
of the building was injured
or molested. •
Miss Wheeler anted home this
week after spending, the summer in
Central America as a student at the
Escuela de Verano. of the Univer-stty
of San. Carlos," Guatamala City,
completing ^her studies in. Spanish.
She visited such places as Antigua,
Chichicastenango, Lake Atilan and
