Proper Curing
Of Pickles Is
Shown by Clubs
By CORA KIRKMAN
County Home Demonstration Agt.
"Curing or brining cucumbers
properly is the first essential in
having good pickles," says Mrs.
Luther Ellis of the Beulah Home
Demonstration Club.
Mrs. Ellis has cured forty-five
gallons of cucumbers this year.
She has sold ten gallons of sour
pickles and ten gallons of cu-
cumbers in brine. She made
enough from the sale of her pick-
les to pay for her kitchen im-
provement work. Mrs. Ellis was
kitchen demonstrator in her club
this year.
Besides the pickles sold Mrs.
Ellis put up enough quality pick-
les to fill her own home use and
gave her daughter enough for
home use and has several gallons
left, in brine. She put her piekleB
in the following way?. Sweet,
sour, mixed pickles, pickled rings,

LONDON. Nov. 25 (U.R) — An
all-day flurry over the wherea-
bouts of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
unreported since he left Baldonncl
air port near Dublin yesterday
morning, -was ended late today
when officials at the Sealands Roy-
al Air Force Airdrome at Chester,
near Liverpool, informed the Uni-
ted Press that ho had landed there
at 4 p. m. yesterday.
The duty officer at the airdrome
confined statements previously
made by Lindbergh's household
that he is safe and well.
The duty officer at the Sealtands
airdrome refused details of Lind-
bergh's landing, saying merely:
. "I can only confirm that he ar-
rived here yesterday afternoon. As
far as we know, he is still in Ches-
ter. We are unable to say where or
give any details.
"We are also unable to say whe-
ther he made a forced landing or
where he wa bound."
The United Press learned at
Baldonnel that Lindbergh carried
only 45 gallons of gasoline when he
left there in his light, speed plane,
so that obviously he had no inten-
tion of making a long flight with-
out refueling. •

th"« nod, In every game he played
this year he was outstanding in his
diagnosis of plays, blocking and
tackling. His passing back of the
ball was accurate with the excep-
tion of the Sunset game in which,
while in anger, he threw the ball
over McKnight, Cat quarter's,
head. This flash of temper was the
only black mark against Freeman.
His punting all year has been
phenominal with his boots averag-
ing 40 yards or more jn most
games. His high soaring spirals
were corns parble with any punter
in the district. The pulling him out
of the line on the third down sev-
eral times to find him passing or
running with the ball was good
strategy and resulted in substan-
tial gains.

Knight for quarter the reason was

Rats Problem
Of Health and
Economics, Too
AUSTIN, Nov. 20 — That rats
not only destroy property, but car-
ry disease germs, is a wel lknown
fact. Prompt and effective measur-
es by the United States Public
Health Service for killing and rat
proofing buildings have saved this
this country from serious epidem-
ics, such occurred in the Old World
in past generations. "It has been
estimated that in the United
States, Rats and mice each year
destroy crops and other property
valued at over $2,000,000,000," Dr.
John W. Brown, State Health Of-
ficer, said, "and even this large a-
mount of money seems small com-
pared to the human misery and
loss of life which these small
pests may cause." "If rats are in
your home or business house, kill
them as soon as possible. Because
rats increase so rapidly it is use-,
less to expect more than tempor-
ary relief from campaigns of rid-
dance restricted to killing only. To
be of lasting benefit to work out of
building rats out of their shelter
and away from their food supply
must go along with that of trap-
ping, poisoning, and other means
of eradication. "Rats eat every
known food, both animal and vege-
table. The rvmoval of garbage,
rubbish, trash and other simila-
material is of importance in rat
control as it affords shelter as well
as foods.

that rats cannot vomit and they die

Watch the School
Child's Eyes
A child's eyes are in a forma-
tive stage during school days,,
therefore every precaution should
be taken to avoid eyestrain. Close
application and constant study
often prove disastrous to the
delicate organs because they are
not fully developed.
Perhaps this may be the first
year at school. It is of the utmoit
importance that the eyes ■ be in
good condition, otherwise, poor I
progress in studies and perman-
ent injury to the eyes may. be
the result.
Children seldom realize that j
they cannot see well, for they.
have no means of knowing whe-1
Lher their sight is perfect or not.
As a result many children who j
are thought to he dull and stupid |
would be as bright and quick to ]
learn as any of their school-
mates if they were not handi
capped by defective sight.
It is one of the most import- j
ant duties of parents to keep a I
careful watch over the eyes of j
their children. If the child hab-,
ilually blinks, squints, frowns,
has a tendency not to look i
squaraly at an object; has diffi-'
culty in recognizing people or {
objects at a distance; complains!
of headaches; bends close to the :
paper when writing, or holds the!
hook close to the eyes when read- j
ing—it generally signifies that i
the ey«s need attention.
Promoters of education through j
out the country are unanimous'
in the opinion that the. eyes of
all school children should be ex-1
amined, and that glasses should
be warn when needed.
A most delightfully interesting
review of the popular but length-
ly novel, "Gone With the Wind,"
by Margaret Mitchell, was given
to an appreciative audience Thurs-
day evening in municipal auditor-
ium by Miss Evelyn Oppenheimer,
Dallas. Presented by Raymond L.
Dtllard, president of the Country
Club, tinder whose auspices she
was presented, Miss Oppenheimer
delighted her audience with her
35th review of the book which is
now sweeping the country.
She gave a feeling description of
Scarlett O'Hara, chief character in
the book, from her 'teen age
through eventful years of the Civil
War, Atlanta, Georgia, life, and
experiences that were thrilling.
Miss Oppenheimer was quite evi-
dently "sold" on the book herself,
for her introduction to the story
was a glowing tribute to the au-
thor, the book and its plot. No book
salesman could have sounded high-
er praise of his product than did
the entertaining critic in her ap-
proach to the story of the Georgia
book.
She described Miss Mitchell's
chief character as a woman who
was beautiful, with a veneer of
culture, but eyes of a female that
knew all the tricks from Mother
Eve to Mine. Corrine. She carried
her audience with her in rapt at-
tention as she scanned for them
the more than a thousand pages of
the book, and gave them the feel-
ing that they had known Scarlett
O'Hara-and her many loves, con-
quests and troubles. One moment
you loved the character, and then
you hated her, and finally you
realized that in Scarlett, Miss
Mitchell had created a character
in fiction that will live forever.

MART Nov. 20 — Proposals are
to be reecived about Feb. 1 for the
construction of the new post office
at Mart, according to advices re-
ceived by Congressman O. H.
Cross from the procurement divis-
ion of the treasury department.
It is expected, Cross said, that
.tentative sketches for the new

early date.

In line with the requirements
of the Social Security Act, re-
cently passed social security
blanks were being mailed out
to Mexia citizens in every type
of business Tuesday. The blanks
are to be signed, filled in and
referred to the employers who
verify them and returns them to
the postmaster where they are
forwarded to Washington.
This is in line with the require-
ment* of the new Social Security
Act.
It is required that the employe
pay one per cent and the employ-
er the same amount so as to take
care of retirement pay after the
employe bccomes 65 years of age.
The taxes are collected by the
Bureau of Internal Revenue.
It is the plan of the act after
the first 8 years employer and
employe will pay 1% cents for
each dollar wages up to $3,000
a year. This will be the tax for
three years, and then, beginning
in 1943, they will pay 2 cents for
evory dollar earned for three
years After that they will pay
one half cent more for three
years, and finally, beginning in
1949, 12 years from now, they
will pay three cents of every
wage dollar up to $3,000.
The employes part is deducted
from the pay envelope every pay
day. Government workers, domes-
tic tasks, farm workers are ex-
empt.
The cards sent out are for the
purpose of information and the
assignment of a number.
Monthly benefits for those over
65 after working constantly will
range from $10 to $85.
