TRIBUTE
TO A GARBAGE MAN
Americans today ore afraid. Afroid of perspiration
«fotos. Afraid of slipping dentures. Afraid of midriff
Mge and "the heotbteak of psoriasis."
fear sells-and for decades now advertising and public
rotations firms have been inventing new social ills which
we con cure simply by buying their client's products.
Once upon a time, those of us with dandruff struggled
along as best we could. Now we spend millions each year
CR Heed and Shoulders.
A side-effect of the fear tactics in advertising has
keen the use of euphemisms. Webster defines this as
"substitution of an agreeable...expression for on that
may offend or suggest something unpleasant."
We ore all fomiliar with these. The attractive
housewife in the commercials never says, "I'm cleaning
my toilet." Heaven forbid! She's cleaning her
"bathroom bowl."
And honging there on the wall? That's not toilet
paper ifs "bathroom tissue," of course.
Men, just go into ony dress shop and you'll find
your wife is not small, medium or large. She wears
petite, a junior, a misses or a womens size.
You probably won't find any matched clothes
sither-you'll find "color coordinates."
We 've always had a few euphemisms around. People
didn't die, for instance, they "passed away," and it was
much nicer to say fertilize! than "manure." People
weren't fat, they wre "overweight" or "plump."
Today, you find euphemisms everywhere. No woman
•goes to a beauty shop anymore, they go to "hair fahsion
salons." And men don't go to barbers, they go to "hair
stylists." What's next, "tonsorial technicians?"
The Texos Department of Porks and Wildlife tells us
that deer aren't killed anymore, they ore "harvested,"
and on air pollution suit filed here recently
never mentions soot, it soys "airborne particulate
matter."
You can't buy a used Cadillac, it's always
"pre-owned."
And you can't even be happily poor. You've got to be
"finacially underprivileged" and have "low
socio-economic status."
Everything is sugar-coated these days. When you
throw this newspaper out with the trosh, don't expect
the garbage man to pick it up. Just look for a
"sanitation engineer."

the 11 a.m. Service of Worship

35.
Brother Holley extends a

From Th«
Lions
Singletary Memorial Library
THE BOSK NOOK
By Gerald Chapman-Librarian
One of the Lioness was
talking with Lion Billy Wat-
son's wife the other day and
she told her that Lion Billy
wears nothing but rainbow
ties. "What's a rainbow tie?"
asked the lady. "When he puts
on any tie there always seems
to be a pot at the end of it," she
replied.
We were privileged to have
as our guest last week the Rev.
Mouzon Flethcer, pastor of
the First United Methodist
Church of Rusk. The program
did not show up so all of the
Lions tried to show out.
Lion Glen Stanley asked
those interested in forming a
softball team to contact him so
that games could be arrnaged
with the Maximum Security
Unit at the Rusk State
Hospital. Lion Raymond Co-
oper made a motion and it was
duly seconded that Lion Paul
B. Cox be manager and player
of this team. It seems that all
ideas of a Lions softball team
ended right there.
Then Lion Bill Draper
brought up the subject of light
bulb sales and looked rather
straight at Lion Frank Howell.
Then everybody seemed to be
shooting at Lion Howell with
some unprintable remarks.
Lion Cox finally brought our
Lion President Lewie Byers
into it by stating that he
thought the Rusk Lions Club
had reached a new low with the
present officers. Lion Presi-
dent Lewie agreed and o n and
on it went. Don't know whether
we will ever get the Rev.
Fletcher to visit us again or
not..
With all these burglaries
going on one of the Lions stated
that a burglar broke into his
house last week. He was asked
"Did he get anything?" Said
the Lion "You bet! My wife
thought it was me coming
home."
We note that a Lion cannot be
the best Lion unless his wife is
also interested. We should
never ask members for money
contributions, only active help.
All Lions cannot make the
same contribution, but each
can find a job suited to him and
work at it. A good Lien is a
working Lion--he attends reg-
ularly and participates in club
activities.
And then the Objects of our
Rusk Lions Club:-To create
and foster a spirit of generous
consideration among the peo-
ples of the world through a
study of the problems of
international relationships

I am trying to reconstruct
some of the burned marriage
records, deeds and other
important documents for
LIMESTONE COUNTY,
TEXAS. Records prior to 1873
were destroyed by fire and I
would appreciate any infor-
mation concerning people who
moved to Limestone County-
married here etc.
Any information would be
appreciated.

THE NUTT FAMILY
THROUGH THE YEARS-is on
the press and should be out
next month. There is a lot of
family information in this
book. Perhaps more than
contained in similar volumes
that tell of the active,
throbbing lives of folks named
Nutt. McN'utt and MacNutt.
For reasons of their own. some
of our ancestors simply
dropped the prefix Mcor Mac,
but just as many retained
them, it appears, went on to
establish enviable records as
individuals and families.
Investigation and research
that extended over many years
find their results in this book,
which is a genealogy of the
Nutt family in America that
dates from 1653 to 1973.
William, James and Samuel
came here to build their
futures. In 1635 William and his
wife Elizabeth arrived from
England to settle in James
Cittie County. Virginia.
The author is Professor
.Emeritus of Engineering at
Arizona State Univ. Cost of the
book is $10.00 postage paid.

from the standpoint of business
and professional ethics. To
promote the theory and
practice of the principles of
good government and good
citizenship. To take an active
interest in the civic, com-
mercial, social and moral
welfare of the community. To
unite the members in the bonds
of friendship, good fellowship,
and mutual understanding. To
provide a forum for the full and
free discussion of all matters of
public interest, partisan politic
and sectarian religion alone
excepted. To encourage ef-
ficiency and promote high
ethical standards in business
and professions; provided that
no club shall hold out as one of
its objects financial benefits to
its members.
Husband: "Isn't it queer how
the biggest idiots always
marry the prettiest women?"
Wife: "Now you're trying to
flatter me." See you Thursday
noon New Southern Motor
Hotel.
"Have you a Charles Dic-
kens in your house?" asked the
polite book salesman.
"No."
"Or a Robert Louis Steven-
son?"
"No."
"Or perhaps a Pearl Buck?"
"No. we ain't. This ain't no
boarding house. If you're
looking fer them people try the
house across the street."
Better still, try the library.
New books received do not
include the above authors, but
does include a Literary Guild
selection, now fourth on the
best-seller list. "Harvest
Home" by Thomas Tryon
concerns a young commercial
artist, who with his wife and
daughter, abandon New York
City for the supposed serenity
of a remote New England
village. But it is not the
serenity expected.
For a good historical novel
that brings real figures back
from the royal tombs and
scrolls of history, read "The
Bloody Field" by Edith
Pargeter.
Twelve-year-old Hal be-
comes Prince of Wales when
his father, Henry IV usurps the
throne of Richard II. Henry
Percy, "Hotspur," becomes
his mentor and his ideal, and
Prince Hal is torn between love
for Hotspur and loyalty to his
father when the two become
estranged. The ultimate clash
comes at Shrewsbury, Jjily
1403 - Hie Bloody Field of the
title.
"Serpiro", by Peter Maas is
the story of Frank Serpiro's
four years as a New York City
policeman and of the graft,
corruption, bribery and greed
which he encountered~and
fought, his actions eventually
leading to the appointment of
the Knapp Commission.
It is with regret that Jayne
Mason has left the library. Her
eight weeks tenure permitted a
great deal of catch-up work so
badly needed.
Thanks to Mrs. W. D. Bagley
and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Butler
for memorial gifts and Mrs.
Kenneth Mann and Mrs. I. S.
Chapman for book donations.

LOVE AND DEVOTION
A lifetime of love and
devotion is pictured here.
Mr. Lloyd Brady, 97.
kisses his bride of 75 years.
"You only celebrate a 75th
anniversary once in a
lifetime/' he said as he
shared his memories of
the long and happy marriage.
Faithfulness and love are
the main ingredients in a
successful marriage
When one truly and
completely gives one's self
to another in faithfulness
and love all else that takes
place is legal formality.
A true marriage must be
preceeded by that marvelous
unreserved commitment
from the heart. 'To 'ove
and tn cherish, from this
day Ioí ward, so long as
we both shall live."
