93rd Birthday Passed By F. P. Coffey
F. P. Coffey passed his 93rd
birthday Saturday, and the day
was marked with the usual sur-
prise cake-cutting arranged by his
daughter, Mrs. H. C. (Hank) Mey-
er of 1002 Woodruff Lane, for him
and his domino friends at the city
fire department dormitory.
Mr. Coffey amazes friends by
his alertness, his activity, his con-
tinued interest in the zest for liv-
ing as his years add up. He has
made his home here with his
daughter and her family since the
death of his wife i.i Vernon in 1945.
When his grandson, Bubba Mey-
er, was in the city golf finals last
summer, Mr. Coffey was right with
the gallery, following Bubba from
hole to hole. Currently he makes
it to practically all the basketball
games to see Bubba play. He would
surely have been at Newman High
School Auditorium Thursday even-
ing to see his granddaughter,
Gayle Meyer, win the Miss SHS !
title if his body hadn't decided to |
be tired that night.
He has always been an avid
sports fan, traveling miles to see !
football and basketball games even |
before he had a grandson to j
watch.
Starting his 94th year. Mr. Coffey j
was in his usual place at First Bap-1
tist Church Sunday morning. Every j
"fitten" day finds him downtown
for dominoes and for cups of cof- i
fee with his friends. >

To Conquer Bad Habits,
One Has To Face Facts
A woman who managed to lose 50
excess pounds after being over-
weight for years explained how she
was finally able to stick to a re-
ducing diet in this way:
"One day I suddenly saw all the
rich and fattening foods I hadn't
been able to resist as that spare
tire around my waist—which I
hated—and then it was easy to
pass them up."
Tip
That is a tip for women want-
ing to overcome the habit of over-
eating, and for anyone who has
a bad habit he wants to conquer.
Think of the habit in terms of
how it affects you and your life,
and it will stiffen your resolve to
do something about it.
If putting things off until the last
possible moment is your weakness,
face the fact that procrastination
usually results in worry, hurry,
and frustration. Then when you
are tempted to let something go un-
til later, you won't be thinking of
how easy that makes the present
hut of how difficult it is going to
make the future.
Rut
If you dread change or tackling
new situations, you'll quit thinking
of how comfortable your rut is, and
see how narrow and confining it
is becoming.
if you are lazy about making new
friends, you'll see your reluctance
to put yourself out to make friends
of new acquaintances not as self-
sufficiency, but as a dangerous
practice that will, in time, leave
you alone and lonely.
If you are a worrier, you'll see
how useless worry takes the fun
out of living and how it is making
you older than your years.
Once you tie up a bad habit with
the ugly results it producers, you
begin to see the habit for what it
really is, an enemy to your welfare
and happiness. When you start to
see it in that light, then it is easy
to do something about it. (All
