A group of LeveUand Indies were
treated to aft enjoyable visit tost
week at the lovely lake house of
Mr. and Mrs. Orville Bynum on
Late N as worthy, 7 miles south-
west Of San Angelo.
There seems to be a definite
trend now for a lake house, a
mountain cabin or some plans to
call heme, away from home. Some-
one has said, "Time was when a
second car was purely a luxury,
now we have reached the stage
when it Is a necessity; and to many
tt Is becoming true about a second
Home.” Many people in Levelland
eygt either a lake house or a
mountain cabin, and a few own
hath. They spend the greater pbr
tlipn of their vacations, holidays
and weekends there.
Mr. and Mrs. Bynum have own-
ed their large two-bath lake house
fpr tome two years and have
spent much time there fishing and
enjoying the attractions of the lake.
Their red wood cottage features
the high beam ceiling with knotty
pine paneling and is furnished with
numerous pieces of antique furni-
ture. The lovely round dining ta-
ble which is some 60 years old,
is oak with the very rare claw
feet. Also there are marble top
pieces of furniture in the rooms.
Slid probably what would be called
the: most interesting piece is the
antique Franklin fire place stove.
Owning their own pier tor wa-
ter siding, diving and fishing, the
Bynums can step from the ter-
race of their cabin into their boat.
The San Angelo trip replaced the
regular meeting of Ihe Levelland
Garden Club, with thirteen of its
members enjoying the two-day
stj»y, which highlighted the sea-
l’s activity for the club. ,
lib activity in Levelland can
be both challenging and absorbing
as /many women know. Yet for
some womdn the lure of new hori-
zons is so irresistible that they
carry their club work on To truly
able accomplishments, far
_______ from Main Street.
Just how far the love of club
work can lead is aptly illustrated
In the case of a youthful grand-
mother named Dorothy Deemer
Houghton. Successively president of
her own local women's club, presi-
dent of the Iowa Federation of
Women’s Clubs and National, pres-
ident of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs.
At latest count Mrs. Houghton
has crossed the ocean twenty-two
times in fulfilling her duties as
delegate tor the United States gov-
ernment and as American repres-
entative tor international organi-
zations. She te a member of three
United Nations Committees serving
UNESCO and is currently active
in the American Association of
University Women, the National
Society for Crippled Children and
Adults, the National Safety Coun-
cil, and dozen other important or-
ganizations.
Her friends would be quick to
point out, however, that Mrs.
Houghton’s ascendency on/the nat-
ional and international scene has
come as much from love of people,
especially children and die under-
privileged as from her devotion to
club and committee work. It Is
this outgoing spirit which led her
as president of GWFWC to take
groups of American leaders on
goodwill trips to Europe and the
Middle East
‘"hie wonderful thing about club
work,” says Mrs. Houghton with
a twinkle in her eye, “is that it
gives a woman a chance to ex-
press herself outside the home
in many satisfying ways.”
This is extremely important in a
day when pressures build up on
mothers and homemakers as they
never did in the pre-television,
pre-atomlc mi. And lest there be
any doubt about the potential of
our women’s organizations, it is
well to recall that 85 per cent of
all the public libraries in the Uni-
ted States have been founded and
maintained through the efforts of
women's chibs.
Her greatest thrill In women's
club week is Having friends in ev-
r. city In the country, women
OK bound together by their
in community and

Our congratulations to Officer
Shelby Hall and-his campaign for
sgfe driving at all times and es-
pecially through the holiday sea-
son. Last year there were 706 im-
mediate deaths in traffic accidents
over the four-day Christmas period
and the-1957 -New Year was “wel-
comed1’ by the death of 409 people.
Let’s lime ft, 1,115' lives is too
high a price to pay for two holi-
day celebrations. Let’s watch our
driving and try very hard to obey
the traffic laws. Congratulations
also to the business men, organi-
zations who are cooperating in
this campaign for a safer holiday
season.

For our closing thought: How

reached the point where you have
no interest to progress; you can’t
see mirth around you; you are a
grupnbler and fault-finder; you
can’t see good ip anything; yen
feel that life is over tor you-then
you are old. Your spirit is the
thing that keeps you young, not
your years.” . '... ._

Subtle reftoement of Frigfctalfe’s
classic sheer look, phis a wide
variety of conveniences and two
new colors, highlight the comp-
any's 1998 electric ranges, refrig-
erators and food freezers, acecrd-
tog to Lea A Cost Appliance, Fri-
gidaire dealer hare.
He announced that the new Frt*
gidaire home appliances will be
Shown publicly for the first time
to this are a on Monday in the
showrooms of Lea ft Cox at 666
Houston. New ranges with an a-
mazing “spatter-free” broiler grill
that eliminates most of the tire-
some even - cleaning chores for
homemakers and refrigerators with
Frtgidaire - pioneered “flowing
ootd” codling systems will high-
light the 1958 product display.
New free - standing appliances
ire available in new turquoise and
sunhy yellow as well as fashion-
able charcoal, gray, pink and
white. Built - to appliances also
come in these colors, he said.
Wilson Cox explained that an
aesthetic feminine touch has been
given the popular sheer look which
puts more emphasis on the slim,
trim, uncluttered styling lines. A
year ago, Frigidaire initiated the
trend toward the built-in look in
free-standing appliances with its
rectangular styling. Since them this
new concept has been enthusiastic-
ally accepted by the nation’s home-
makers, builders, kitchen planners
and appliance industry designers.
Nine new electric ranges, nine
refrigerators and four food free-
zers are being introduced current-
ly. Ranges come .in 30 and. 40-inch
sizes with one and two ovens and
with conventional and French
doors. Refrigerators are available
with single doors, two doors and
freezers at the top knd bottom of
the cabinets. Capacities range
from 8 to 14.4 cubic feet. Upright
and chest-type food freezers with
capacities from 12.5 to 17.5 cubic
feet are included to the line.
A feature of Frigidaire’s two -
Oven Custom Imperial 40 - inch
range, the new “spatter-free” broi-
ler with high radiant walls pro-
vides an entirely new concept in
broiling ahd oven care. It is super-
fast, sears like charcoal, yet is
practically smokeless. The broiler
not only eliminates most of the
oven - cleaning drudgery tor the
homemaker, but assures her of
gourmet - like results everytime.
The homemaker simply dials the
degree of “doneness” she desires,
by. turning a control on the back-
panel to “rare,” “medium” or
“well done” — the broiler does the
rest automatically. Shelves need
not be shifted because the broiler
grill always occupies the same po-
sition.
A deep • sided broil pan with
grid fits into a shallow base pan,
holding a small amount of water.
Hie high radiant walls of the dou-
bledeck pan concentrates the sear-
ing heat directly on the food. Be-
cause toe bottom of toe broil pan
is water - cooled, melted fat does
not burn or stick, but remains
fluid. The pan can be swished
clean with sudsy water after broil-
ing.
An automatic electric meat tend-
ing device eliminates the guess-
work in oven roasting. The home-
maker sets the “meat tender” dial
at the required hear, inserts a sen-

Complete oven meals can be
cooked automatically by using the
new simplified Cookmaster dock
control. The homemaker diala when
toe meal should be ready, toe
cooking time and required temp-
erature. Simple instructions are on
the backpanel.
An extra fast "speed-heat” sur-
face unit Is another important fea-
ture, together with a new faster

a heat-minding device that will
not let foods scorch, boil or bum,
regardless of toe size of utensil
or quantity of food. There is a deep-
well cooker, phis a special alum-

A new rotisserie will turn a 20-
