• County Demonstration
Clubs Elect Officers at
r Annual Meeting Saturday
i*
Officers of the County Home Dem-
onstration Council for 1937 were
elected at the annual meeting last
Saturday afternoon at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms.
Miss Paralee Bryan, of the Bethany
Club was elected chairman; Mrs. J.
T. Isom, secretary of the Franklin
Club, was elected vice chairman, and
Mrs. W. L. Sims, secretary of the
L Harris Club, was elected secretary-
' treasurer, and wlijj assume their du-
ties at the January meeting, when
the chairman will appoint her com-
mittees.
The present officers and the chair-
man of committees reported their ac-
complishments for the year.
A county wide tour, visiting yards
was set for December 2. The Cham-
ber of Commerce promised to fur-
nish' transportation to the wmen for
the tour.
Next year’s program demonstrations
will be given in bed rooms, wool
scouring, candlewicking, firs.t aid,
good manners, fire prevention.
A book, “Longan’s Parliamentary
Rules Made Easy,’’ was awarded to
the Harris Club by Miss Helen Dun-
lap, county h o m e demonstration
agent, as a reward for having had the
best attendance with a report at coun'
ty council meetings throughout the
year.
jv Tile’ Harris Home Demonstration
[ Club was organized as a result of ex-
pansion work by club women and
the home demonstration agent. In
the spring of 1933, Mrs. R. A. Maxey,
of the Lavon Home Demonstration
Club, made an appointment for Miss
Helen Dunlap, home demonstration
agent, to give an American cheese
demonstration. The school room was
crowded with women and men who
came to see the cheese made.
In the fall of 1934, the Harris Club
was organized, with the following of-
ficers: Mrs. Ed Dillard, president;
Mrs. T. H. Henson, vice president;
Mrs. A. R. May, secretary.
During 1935 this club was quite ac-
tive and sent a delegate to the A. &
M. short course. Also entered ex-
hibits in. the county fair, winning two
second and three third prizes in the
home demonstration exhibit. Later
an achievement day was held when
the members and visitors saw the
pantry and the canning of the food
supply demonstrator.
During 1936 the members have
made an effort to help other women
who are not club members. They
have held two demonstrations in
communities not served by home
demonstration clubs. They have also
had 35 non club members to visit their
club meetings.
This year’s officers are: Mrs. Bert
James, president; Mrs. Burl Curring,
vice president; Mrs. W. L. Sims, sec-
retary.
A. quality, or standard cooked vege-
table, is neither under nor over
cooked, says Mrs. J. V. Greer, of the
Celina. Home Demonstration Club.
Food flavors are ruined by cooking too
long or by not cooking long enough.
Cabbage is often overcooked, which is
indicated by a red color, making it
hard to digest. Foods oftener over-
cooked Ahan undercooked, the older
vegetables, such as peas, cooked
with the younger ones will not be
tender when the younger ones are.
Collin Sheriff-
Elect Names
New Deputies
The first Collin official-elect to
name deputies for a term of office
beginning January 1 is E. B. Moore,
sheriff-elect.
Mr. Moore’s riding deputy will be
Dan Rike, former mayor of Farmers-
ville, who unsuccessfully opposed Mr.
Moore in the summer primary.
Cy Actkinson will be jailer and
W. E. Button will continue as office
deputy, a post he now holds under
Sheriff G. J. S. Walker.
Mr. Actkinson will succeed Stoney
Allen and Mr. Rike will succeed
George Eubanks.
Mr. Rike lias already rented a resi-
dence here and. will move over about
Decembeer 1.
Mr. Moore tells us he had 264 ap-
plications for the positions he had to
give out.
Many Visitors
Horn Palace
In passing we notice the Horn
Palace in the Crouch Building on
West Louisiana street is being visit-
ed by many people. This is a verit-
able museum of “Modern Antiquity.’’
There is something there that will
interest the oldest settler and the
young'est new-comer. Sheriff George
Walker has assembled a collection of
antiques and curios that is excelled
in few, if any, towns or cities in the
state. Many people coming through
to attend the Centennial have been
pleased and astonished at this won-
derful exhibition. Mr. Walker de-
serves the thanks of our citizenship
for his artistic collecting. It ought
to be visited by every school child in
the county with some one to explain
to them just what they are looking
at. Then when they grow up and
begin to use the ever present “don’t
you remember when” they will have
a better understanding of history.

Celina Ladies Tell
of California Visit
Mrs. Nig McWhirter, Santa Monica,
Cay., writes as follows of the recent
visit of Mrs. Everett Wester and Mrs.
Atiee Tillerson of Celina, to Califor-
nia :
Santa Monica, Cal., Nov. 4.—I prom-
ised not to tell all about this trip to
California, but some of these things
are just too good! to keep. I suppose
everyone knows the two people who
are taking' this trip, because I think
it has been planned for several
months.
From Dallas to El Paso, both say
that they were so excited that neither
remembered much of what happened
until their arrival in El Paso. After
changing trains Mrs. Tillerson sat
with her back toward the front of the
car because she was afraid it would
make her sick to ride the other way.
While they were still sitting there
the train next to them began moving
and Mrs. Wester said:
“Oh! Dona, you had better turn
around quick, because this train is go-
ing backwards.”
After having come over three or
four hundred miles of desert land,
Mrs. Tillerson asked the porter:
‘ When will we get to the deii’ert?”
He answered with: “Lady, we have
been in the desert practically ever
since we left El Paso.”
It was raining when they arrived
in California, but since then there
hasn’t been a cloudy day; only a
heavy fog in the early mornings and
early evenings.
The first day we W'alked to the
beach, Mrs. Tillerson was almost
afraid to walk out on the pier which
extends a fourth of a mile out in thq
ocean. On this there is a dance hall,
dining room, aquarium and all kinds
of amusement places. While we wtere
there I asked Mrs. Tillerson if she
would like to take a ■water taxi and
go for a ride on the ocean, but she
said she wouldn’t go for a thousand
dollars. However, when Navy Day
came we went to San Pedro to see
the fleet, and when we decided to take
a water taxi and go about five miles
out to- visit part of the fleet she was
in the taxi with us. She sat beside
Mrs. Wester who said she was surely
glad she had: just sewed the buttons
on her coat this morning, or Mrs. Til-
lerson would have pulled it off
We took them for a drive through
Topango Canyon on the lop of the
highest mountain overlooking San
Fernando Valley which is m’les below.
They both had, sore necks the next
day from trying to see the houses
built on the mountains.
In Compton they saw the largest
mausoleums in the world, which are
built earthquake proof, for when the
quake came a few yesrs hack, prac-
tically all buildings around were tern
down, but these were not cracked.
The filar e they enjoy M most is Ex-
position Fork. In this place there is
the only museum of its type in the
world. Situated bore is ille historic,
ait, agriculture, am. mming museum.
1 can’t describe i.fie :a Du: one
1 the many peoole that wo want es-
pecially to see this is -he superin-
tendent of Celina High School. The
Olympic c-f iiseum is also m this park.
Before I stop -writing I must tell
you just how excited Mrs. Wester has
been since she has been out here.
She and Mrs. McWhirter started walk-
ing to town, which is about six blocks,
and when they were about half way
there Mrs. Wester began laughing
and said:
“Lena, look me over and see if you
see anything wrong.’’
She did but didn’t notice anything,
so Mrs. Wester said:
“I have on a slipper of a kind.”
■ Mrs. Tillerson and Mrs. Wester
said they were not coming home un-
til they saw their names, in the Ce-
lina Record, so that why I’m writing
this.

$17,000,000 ESTATE OF
SNUFF MANUFACTURER
Philadelphia.—After years of legal
wrangling, the road has been cleared
at last for the hearings of claims
filed by those seeking to share in the
$17,000,000 fortune left by Mrs. Hen-
rietta E. Garrett, widoAV of a Phila-
delphia snuff manufacturer.
Since the death of Mrs. Garrett,
nearly six years ago, “relatives in
law” have sprung up in every corner
of the globe. The total of claim-
ants now has passed 12,000.

Farmers Advised
to Feed, Not Sell
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The Ag-
riculture Department predicted today
that farmers who feed their grain to
meat animals next year probably will
do better than those who cash in on
the grain.
This forecast is based on the as-
sumption the drouth which caused
wide grain losses and cut livestock
numbers, will be followed by large
yields of grain due to more normal
weather.
A survey of animals on farms and
supplies of feed for them was said
to show 25 per cent less grain per
animal this year than last year and
the five-year average of 1928-32.
On January 1, the survey said, the
total number of animals on farms
probably will be the same’, but there
will be fewer cattle, horses and mules
and more hogs, sheep and chickens.

Happy Tog
Tog Chandler was here Saturday
from his comfortable farm home in
the Bos d’Arc community. Tog lives
on the old home place of his father,
the late “Uncle Alf” Chandler, one of
the beloved pioneers of that section.
We believe Tog is just about as well
fixed and well satisfied with his farm
life and surroundings as any man in
this section. We know of no one who
has more friends. If he has an enemy
we have never heard of it “Come see
us Tog. We need more friends.”
