With Father's Day coming
up Sunday, we just have to
print the following recipe for
keeping a husband happy.
HOW TO PRESERVE
A HUSBAND
(Paste this recipe in your
cookbook)
Select one not too young, but
once chosen, give your entire
thoughts to prepare him for
domestic use.
Some wives keep them in a
pickle, others are constantly
getting them in hot water. This
makes them sour, hard to get
along with, and sometimes bit-
ter.
Even poor varieties become
sweet, tender and good, if
garnished with patience, well
sweetened with kisses.
Keep them warm with a
steady fire of domestic
devotion, a mantle of charity
and forgiveness and serve with
peaches and cream.
Prepared this way, they will
last and taste good for many
years.
***
The recreation program at
the school began early this
week. The local kids can keep
busy each weekday with a num-
ber of different games and
supervised play at the high
school.
***
Haircuts and postage
stamps aren't the only things
for which we are going to have
to pay more. Gov. Preston
Smith has just signed into law
a new procedure for auto in-
spection in Texas, which also
increases the inspection fee
from $1.75 to $2. It appears
that they find it impossible
to approve any kind of a law
without raising the price of
whatever it is that it covers.
***
Teddy Kennedy certainly
has become an expert onwar-
fare. It's amazing what you
can learn in ROTC.
***
Tired or Lazy? The hard-
est task to face each day is
telling the difference be-
tween being tired and being
lazy.
***
Life is strange! Opportunity
only knocks, but temptation
kicks the door down!
LES HANCOCK RECEIVED the Jaycee Director of the Year
Award from Don Newton, past president of the Cedar Hill Jay-
cees, Saturday night.
ROY HICKMAN was awarded the Jaycee of the Year Award
Saturday night by past president Don Newton.
The Cedar Hill Baseball
Association continued to keep
pace with the times this week
with the purchase of a pitching
machine.
The Machine will be used
to help put the teams through
good, fast practice sessions
without being so wearing on
their coaches. In the past
the coach has pitched to the
batters for batting practice
and then turned around and
batted to his team to give them
some practice in the field.
The machine can take much
of the work out of both areas
of the workolts for the coach.
of the workouts for the coach.
The local boys were so
fascinated with the machine
that Rusty Chapman com-
mented to Johnny Barnes, pre-
sident of the baseball as-
sociation, "Mr. Barnes, if you
can get a uniform for it, we
want him on our team."
The purchase of the ma-
chine, as well as the financing
of the whole program, is
financed each year through
donations, candy sales, R. C.
Cola sales, and the sale of
Christmas ribbon and
wrapping paper.
Barnes said that the as-
sociation has needed extra
funds this year with the add-
ition of a Softball program for
girls. In this first year of
Softball for Cedar Hill there
are four teams participating
in the program.
Barnes said that the as- s-
sociation gratefully acknow-
ledged donations from the fol-
lowing businesses; the RC
Bottling Company, Bud and
Ben Mufflers of Dallas, Sims
Grocery, P&S Food Store,
White Auto Store, Joe Camp's
Automotive, EME Corpor-
ation, A-l Trailers, Dillard's
Enco Service, Grand Prairie
Employment Service, the
Cedar Hill Dairy Queen, Cedar
Hill Food Locker, and the

IT IS ENLIGHTENING TO NOTE (under the head of What-
Inflation-Does-To-You) the following information:
"Your body now is worth $3.50, instead of the 98 cents
its chemicals would have brought back in 1936." That is
an increase If 257 percent. Authority for it is Donald T.
Forman, assistant professor of biochemistry at Northwestern
University.
Very, very interesting; but it does raise a question when
the time comes to file your income tax return;
Do you enter it under capital gains, or must you subtract
it from the $600 personal exemption?
