AFTON VISITOR
Mrs. Pearl Porter of Afton, is
■pending this week with her da ugh
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Leon Lawson,
at their farm home on route 3.
Motorist: ‘‘How^ar ^s it to the
nearest town?” !'}
Native: "Nigh on to five miles
is the crow flict.’
Motorist: “Well, how far is it if
a crow has to walk and carry an
empty gasoline can?”
-ann-
Didn’t run out of gas but Wed-
nesday morning while driving ov-
er here one of our super-duper
tubeless tires gave up the ghost
and we felt about as the gasoline-
less motorist must have felt.
-ann-
Thc spouse was along BUT since
he is recuperating from a lot of
terrific surgery we hardly felt he’d
be able to lift and change the old
flat one for the spare. With both
of us lugging and tugging tho it
was managed.
-ann-
Later Mr. Maurice Brashear told
us he repairs tubeless tire free
of charge—that is, of course, if the
tire isn’t ruined (ours Wafc). Now
that is what we call a generous
gesture. He says it doesn’t take
long and the tire could toe mended
while on the car-suppose everyone
but ae knew this???
-ann-
That old saw, “one is never too
old to learn” is certainly true in
our case.
-ann-
During the war we were living
in East Texas and in order to get
decent housing had to board and
room our landlord. He had a cow
and furnished us with milk. Being
real ambitious we thought home
made butter would be wonderful,
-arm-
SO—we loaded the chum-old
timey dasher hand pumped type,
and churned, all day that is-no
butter. Finally the Spouse and
landlord came in and they took
turns chuming-sttil no butter.
-ann-
It eventually dawned on ae that
in eating AIL THE CREAM off
the milk we had done away with
the butter fat and could have chur-
ned till dooms day and there would
not have been any butter formed
from the skimmed milk.
-ann
Gee—Mr. Harry Mann is the fel-
low right after our heart. When in-
troduced he remarked, “You’re
from Morton aren’t you? I’ve read
and enjoyed aimegrams.” Now
that is what we like to hear,
-ann-
Always have said we’d rather
have a by-line than a hundred
dollar Mil and goodness knows
there has never been a time when
we could not use money in any
denomination.
-ann-
Mr. Mann and his wife have
been on a trip to New York. He
was especially intrigued w«h • pn>>
Did you know that women spend
85 cents out of every dollar spent
in the country? Fellow I know com-
pains that at hi3 house he never
gets the 15 cents change.
It takes a heap of vocabulary
to get acquainted with new style,
and this season has more novel
fashon words than most.
•For example, take the caraco
That’s not a wild beast-it’s a ja-
cket, and the very latest in jack-
ets, too. A' caraco is merely a
chopped off one, a bolero in other
words-but K was launched by
CrHistiqn Dior and that makes It
ultrafashionable. Instead of asking
have buttons, up the back, say:
“A dress with K a h-r a h-c o h,
please,’ ’
•i “
Then, how about blousons? This
is the 1956 version of our old friend
the bioused top, but a blouson
this year, if you want to be sty-
ish. Ask for a "Bloos-eon.” - •
The most mispronouned style of
the season, we are told, is the very
popular-waisted empire silhouette.
We had the privilege of attend-
ing the hat-making class Monday
afternoon in the home of Mrs.
Cliff Brown. We oh’d and ah'd at
the beautiful new fall fasbons in
the lovely beaver materials in lush
shades; but a fashon that caught
the attention of all present was the
little old-fashioned bonnet, belong-
ing to Mrs. C. I. Dickinson, a
gift from Mrs. Huff Pope. Made
of dainty floral challis, it was com-
plete with self ruffles, tail, and etc.
No wonder our grandmothers had
such fairy white skin, with all that
protection.
Mrs. Dickinson, whose father
was a pioneer rancher, near Post,
expects to attend the Old Emma
reunion near Ralls, and who
knows — she may just don her
little old-fashioned bonnet for the
occasion.
And speaking of bonnets, we
know another local lady who would
love to have one of the above men-
tioned bonnets. If you know of
someone who has one, an espec-
ially dainty and pretty one, for
per printed for and about toe Bow-
ery. There were all sorts of pict-
ures of the Bowery Bums and one
of Marilyn Monroe. He said he
didn’t know WHY mm’s pic was
included--seems perfectly logical
to ae.
-ann-
Mrs. Sam Hameed, who is just
as cute as a bug, is completely
fascinated with the Kashword puz-
zles but Mr. Sam sort of scoffs
at toe whole Idea. Except his scoff
would come from the other side
of the mouth IF Mrs. H. hit the
jack pot. We bice him too-and
have fun teasing him about his
Florida tan which he admits is
acquired on the local and neighbor-
ing golf courses.
-ann-
It has always been our habit to
jot down little notes, save clippings
and in general try to have on
hand clever and bright things
which may be incorporated in this
column. •
-Ann-
Only troiMe is that half the ti-
me the clippings can’t be found
and the jottings can't be read.

Parents of Retarded
Children to Meet
A meeting will be hed at 8 p.m.
Tuesday, July 31 in the countv
court room fr parents of retard-
ed children.
A group of parents living in
Levelland who have a retarded
child in their family are anxious
to solicit new members of the par-
ents of all retarded children in
Hockley County.
Many parents find it hard to
face the problem and permit To-
th ing to be done for their child,
members of this group say.
An estimated 20 retarded chil-
dren arc }n Hockley County and
oniy six of them have been given
training. Most of them esn be
helped to become at least partial-
ly self - sufficient. Interested per-
sons are anxious to see the de-
velopment in whatever potentiali-
ties they have.
The retarded child is one who
deviates from the average child
to such an extant as to require
special treatment or training in
order to make the most of his pos-
sibilities.
