Champions Oct. 9,”
President Hoover originated
the practice of having a private
phone on his desk.
The pavilion will have an
arena 90 feet wide and 180 feet
long. There will be seats for
3,200 spectators.
Adjoining the huge $250,000
cattle barns completed in 1948,
the structure will complete
facilities for showing and view-
ing livestock that are unsur-
passed in the Southwest, Mr.
Thornton said.
In addition to the national
Hereford show, the 1951 state
fair will feature shows for
Aberdeen-Angus, Shorthorn and
Brahman beef cattle, Guernsey,
Holstein - Friesian, Jersey and
Milking Shorthorn dairy cattle,
American saddle horses, Quar-
ter horses, breeding swine and
junior livestock.
Other attractions at the fair
this year will include “Guys
and Dolls,” “Ice Cycles of
1952,” the Sky Wheels thrill
ride, the Aut Swenson Thrill-
cade, a spectacular Science
Show, a million-dollar Midway,
new shows at all the fairgrounds
museums, a' vastly expanded
Women’s Show, a full program
of Cotton Bowl football and
hundreds of exhibits.

' Construction has started
a new $125,000 Livestock Judg-
ing Pavilion that will be com-
pleted in time for the 1951
i State Fair of Texas, Oct. 6-21.
R. L. Thornton, president of
the state fair, said the new
pavilion will fill a need long felt
by fair officials, livestock ex-
hibitors and fair visitors.
| . “We finally have a suitable
rplace to show fine livestock,”
Mr. Thornton said. “It will
show cattle and horses in a set-
ting calculated to bring out
, their best points and will be
; ? cool and comfortable for the
spectators.
“It is fitting that the first
show, to be judged in this fine,
big arena will be the Pan-
American National Hereford

Do you know what the definition of a friend is ?
It is a person who knows all your faults but still
likes you, in spite of them. None of us is free
, from faults. That is only human. So we gravitate
to those who like us and who, in turn, we think
rather special. Let’s cherish our friendships and
make the most of them . . . lest auld acquaintance

The New Baby
A friend of mine who is expecting a
baby is planning to send her four-year-
old daughter to her grandmother's when
the new baby is due. The little girl will
stay a month with her grandmother. Is
this a good practice or should the little
daughter stay at home in order to feel
that she is an important member of the
family at a very important time?
In my judgment, you are correct when
you infer that the little daughter should
be kept at home so that she can feel
that she is an important member of the
family at a very important time.
It is to be hoped that the mother and
father have talked very naturally in
front of their little daughter about the
coming into the home of the new baby,
and that she has had some part in plan-
ning for its arrival. She will be inter-
ested in the clothing the mother is mak-
ing for the baby, and in the possible
name that may be given to it.
In the family discussion, let the ref-
erence always be to “our baby” so the
little girl will have a feeling of pos-
session toward the newcomer.
When the mother goes to the hos-
pital and during the first few weeks
after the baby comes home, it is ex-
ceedingly important that the little girl
be given plenty of attention and affec-
tion so that she will not feel that the
baby has usurped her place in the
family. Be patient with her if she acts
more “babyish” than usual. Praise her
when she shows delight in and is kind
to the new baby.
Remember that in spite of the best
of planning, these will be difficult days
for her as it is not easy to be content
when mother spends so much time with
the newcomer.
Moving to “the Sticks”
My husband and I want to buy a
small farm but our sixteen-year-old
daughter and fourteen-year-old son ob-
ject. They say they don’t want to move
from the city to “the sticks.” Can you
advise us?
If the farm you contemplate buying
really is in the “sticks,” and if by mov-
ing there your children would be more
or less permanently separated from their
friends, it is not at all surprising that
they should object to such a move.
They have their i friends and have
achieved a certain standing in the school
and in the community. They dread the
thought of having to go to a new school
and to make new friends. They also are
beginning to appreciate the many op-
portunities that the city affords.
It would seem to me, therefore, that
you should give serious consideration
to their objections. If you feel that they
are the result of careful thinking on
their part and not just the whim of the
moment, you may want to postpone for
the time being your purchase of the
farm. After all, two more years will
see your daughter ready to go to col-
lege, and four more should get your
son ready for the university. When they
are away from home, you and your hus-
band can go to the farm and enjoy it to
your heart’s content.
There would seem to be another pos-
sibility, however, and that is to find a
farm that is not so far from the city
but that your children could continue
to go to the same school and could main-
tain their present friendships. If the
farm is not too far out, they probably
would find that it had a real attraction
for their friends, would furnish them
with many interesting experiences, and
would add to their own popularity.
If you could get them to help you
pick out such a farm, it is likely that in
so doing they would acquire an enthusi-
asm for it that is even greater than
your own.
This Honesty Business
How can one combat the prevalent
theory accepted by so many parents and
children that “if you can get away with
it, it’s all right”? I am the mother of
two sons, ages six and ten, and I have
tried to teach them to be honest. Is it
a hopeless task?
By no means is it a hopeless task, al-
though it is not a particularly easy one.
I judge that you already are using
the two most effective methods of com-
bating the theory you describe—that is,
teaching and example. There is every
evidence that boys and girls are in-

fluenced far more by the attitudes, ideas,
and ideals of their parents than by
those of associates, club leaders, or
teachers. Continue during these early
years quietly to instill in your sons the
ideal of honesty.
Be sure, of course, that you observe
this ideal in all your own relationships,
remembering that your sons learn more
from what you do than from what you
say. They are both disconcertingly and
acutely observant, too!
Maintain a happy relationship with
them; enjoy doing things together. See
to it that your home is attractive, that
there are interesting things to do and
that they have desirable playmates near
their own age.
’ Do not be too disturbed if your sons
fail occasionally to see as clearly as do
you what is honest and dishonest.
Neither should you expect perfection
in them. They may feel that you are
carrying this “honesty business” to an
extreme. As they get older, they may
even accuse you of being old fashioned.
But if you are a good sport about it
all, if you are patient and understand-
ing, if you refuse to preach or to nag,
and if you continue to have enjoyable
family experiences together, you may
be certain that they never will be able
to get away from the ideals ybu have
I instilled into them.
Fannin County
Among Top 25
Dairy Counties
Fannin county is expected to
keep its place amoivg the 25 top
dairy counties in Texas when
the agriculture census is reveal-
ed late this summer, George
LATIMER & SON
Service Station
M. Clarke, Austin, executive
vice-president of the Dairy
Products Institute, reported
this week to dairy leaders here.
Clarke said the Department
of Commerce at Washington had
advised him the census will
show that Fannin County has
3,768 farms of all types. This
indicates, he said the county
may remain among the 25 lead-
ing dairy counties. No figures
on dairy farms in Texas will be
available until late this sum-
mer or early fall.
The last agriculture census
of Texas shows Fannin County
had 145 dairy farms and 9,999
milk cows. It ranked 17th in
the number of dairy farms and
16th in the number of cows.
'The county’s dairy industry
this month is observing the 15th
annual June Dairy Month dur-
ing which attention is being
pin-pointed on dairy products
as the road to better health.
The June Dairy Month cam-
paign is being coordinated by
the Dairy Products Institute of
Texas.
W. E. Thomason of Houston,
state campaign chairman, said
today it is important economi-
cally'to each of the 25 top dairy
counties to promote greater use
of dairy products..
Underlying theme of the 30-
day campaign is to promote
better understanding of why
butter, cheese, ice cream, milk
and other dairy products are
essential to good health, he
said.
The 25 leading dairy coun-
ties are: Harris, Tarrant, John-
son, Bexar, Parker, McLennan,
Hopkins, -Wise, Cooke, Fay-
ette, Dallas, Grayson, Travis,
Denton, Nacogdoches, Lamar,
Wood, Washington, DeWitt,
Williamson, E r a t h, Collin,

Hike Gas Tab By
•5222,500,000
Roos declares, “the two worst
gas wasters — outsied of habi-
tual speeding — are jack rabbit
starts and quick stops. Violent
pressures on the accelerator
squart gasoline into the cylin-
ders faster than it can be used
efficiently, while sudden stops
waste momentum already built
up by expended fuel, in addi-
tion to wearing out 'brake lin-
ings.”
Mr. Roos’ figures on gasoline
wastage in Texas were based on
current gasoline prices in the
state, number of miles “got”
per gallon of gas by the aver-
age motorist and the latest
available state - wide mileage
figures, released by the Nation-
al Safety Council.

Impatience, negligence
incompentence — the three car- '
dinal sins of the gasoline was- '
trel — are costing Texas motor-
ists more than $222,500,000 an-
nually or about $87 for each | ,
vehicle owner, according to a •
recently published study by one
of America’s topflight automo-
tive engineers.
After a series of controlled
mileage tests lasting more than
a year, Delmar G. Roos, for-
mer president of the society of
Automotive Engineers, has con-
cluded that the average motor-
ist gets less than half the mo-
toring miles he should out of a
gallon of gasoline.
The primary causes of gaso-
line wastage, says Mr. Roos, are
speed, mechanical negligence,
and sloppy driving ^habits.
“Speed alone cuts mileage
also in half,” Mr. Roos said.
‘1 In rigidly controlled tests
over a measured mile, a Willys
station wagon consistently aver-
aged 31 miles per gallon at 30
miles an hour. However, at 60
miles an hour, mileage was cut
considerably.
Heading a list of mechanical
sins lumped in Mr. Roos’ study
under “negligence” are faulty
spark settings, cylinder com-
pression and tire pressures.
Each of these factors cut gaso-
line efficiency between three
and six percent — and costs the
motorist between one and two
cents extra for each mile he
drives.
Tire pressure1 is a good ex-
ample of the high price of care-
lessness,” Mr. Roos says.
“When tire pressures were 4
pounds lower than they should
be, the station wagon averaged
one mile less per gallon of gas.
At average gasoline prices this
bit of carelessness alone would |
cost the . motorist more than a
penny a mile.
Other common mechanical |
faults affecting fuel mileage j
are dirty air filters, dragging
brakes and improper wheel
alignment.
