Twelve hundred gas range
dealers in 467 cities and towns
in Texas and Oklahoma will par-
ticir- ie in the presentatiion. Spe-
cial puces and liberal tradein
allowances on used ranges will
be offered during the Range-O-
Rama to acquaint the modern
homemaker with the advantages
of futuristic gas ranges.
The gas range dealers, in con-
junction with Lona Ster Gas
Company, will present an array
of colorful displays accenting the
Range-O-Rama. The displays
will emphasize remarkable new
innovations in gas cooking.
A new oven control which
gives full temperature down to
140 degrees is the newest fea-
ture of the modern gas range.
The control, a gas exclusive,
closely parallels the popular sur-
face burner control “burner-
with-a-brain," in accurate, auto-
matic temperature control. The
oven control is called “oven with
a brain."
The accurate temperature con-
trol down to 140 degrees is a de-
finite first in the history of cook-

National Merit Scholarship Test
given last spring. Each student
who is endorsed by his school re-
ceives a formal Letter of Com-
mendation signed by his princi-
pal and the president of the Na-
tional Merit Scholarshp Corpor-
ation.
John M. Stahlnaker, president
of the National Merit Scholar-
ship Corporation, stated: “In re-
cognition of their excellent per-
formance on the National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test,
nearly 25,000 students through- j
out the United States are being
awarded Letters of Commenda-
tion. While these bright young-
sters did not reach the status of|
semifinalists in the 1961-62 Mer-
it program, they are so capable
that we wish to single them out
for special attention. The com-
mended students and the s mi-
finalists who do not win Merit
Scholarships are considered for
certain other scholarships that
are offered through the facilities
of the National Merit Scholarship
Corporation. The semi-finalists
and commended students toge-
ther •constitute less than 2 per i
cent of all high school seniors,
and this certainly signifies note-
worthy achievement."
Kunkel. son of .Mr. and Mrs.
J. V. Kunkel of Bogata, has been
a student in the Bogata Schools
for the past three years.
