age, your problems are simpler
than that. What you worry
about is just catching your
breath.’

The Mayfield-Mize lake
dam sight no. 24 of the North
Bosque River watershed has a
new look. Foreman Robert
Lee Johnston and men of
Terry Owens’ precinct remov-
ed the trees and brush last
week that had grown on the
lake dam and burm since it
was built in the 1960’s. They
did a nice job and we thank
them.
The trees made the lake
shore more beautiful and
much cooler for those that
fished during the warm mon-
ths, but it is claimed the tree
roots damage the dam. After
all, the purpose of building the
lake on Round Hole branch
was to prevent flooding on it
and the Bosque River. Many
other such dams on tributaries
of the North Bosque River
were built before this one was
built.
Sunday was a dreary, misty
day, but a good day to rest and

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) ■
Retired librarians who dislike
the Marian the Librarian image
may find a new life far from
the maddening bookshelves —
as a Tango Queen.
At least that’s what Eva Lee
Moore, 69, did. For almost 28
years, Mrs. Moore was head of
the circulation department at a
branch library. All that time,
there wasn't a hint of what was
coming. "I never danced a step
in all those years," Mrs. Moore
told a reporter.
She was everything a librar-
ian was supposed to be — qui-
et, literate, soft-spoken, well-
mannered and wrapped up in
her family. She was married 27
years before her husband died
in 1948.
"My husband didn’t like to
dance,” she said. “But even if competition and it was a mob
he had. there was no time. I
was too busy with church activ-
ities, library work and the chil-
dren."
For a genteel, white-haired
Southern lady who’d passed her
66th birthday, taking up the
tango was a daring step.
“I didn’t know if I should
start dancing or not," she said.
“I don’t have to answer to any-
body but God and my daughter.
But I kept asking myself, What
will people say?’ Well, a friend
finally talked me into going to
a New Year's Eve dance and,
of course, nobody said any-
thing.”

Homemade Marmalade Saves Money
By CECILY BROWNSTONE
Associated Press Food Editor
Among the foods on super-
market shelves whose prices
have climbed are pure fruit
preserves.
But there’s a way to enjoy
such preserves and save mon-
ey; Make your own.
This time around we’re offer-
ing you one of the easiest of all
fruit preserves to prepare —
Apple Ginger Marmalade. It
also happens to be a com-
bination you can’t buy. And is
it ever good! Useful, too, be-
cause it may be offered on a
condiment tray with a main
dish, used for desserts or as a
spread for hot breads or toast.
And you don’t have to process
it; just put it in the freezer.
