PAYMENT FOR ASSOCIATES
The board of directors of the
J. C. Penney Company have au-
thorized a special payment of an
amount equal to two weeks’ pap
for all full-time associates who
have been employed for the full
year of 1949 and on a proportion-
ate basis for extra and part-time
associates and for those employed
less than a year.
All Penney associates through-

out the Company share in this pay-
ment except those who are mem-
bers of the management staff and
whose earnings are determined
largely by the Company’s long-
standing profit-sharing plan.
Mr. R B Green, manager of
the J. C. Penney Company store,
said that more than 50,000 Penney
associates all over the United
States will participate in this pay-
ment, including 18 of the Seymour
store. He further emphasized that
this was not a Christmas bonus in
the usual sense and was non-re-
curring.
The Company some years ago
substituted a Thrift and Profit-
I Sharing Plan for the more usual
| Christmas bonus and into this plan
is annually paid a proportionate
| share of Company earnings. The
| current extra payment, just an-
i nounced, is additional to these
j thrift and profit-sharing benefits.

ANDERSON ELECTED SCHOOL OIL PLAY NEAR C.OREE
BOARD POLICY MAKER MAKES FAIR PRODUCER
When R. B. Anderson of Vernon
was chosen chief policy maker for
Teecas public education Tuesday,
1 he added a new field of endeavor
1 and another title to a long list
I of public honors and an impres-
| sive group of achievements in
< private life.
Anderson is a 39-lear-old law-
yer and business executive who
rapidly expanded his share of
influence from his native John-
son County to include Texas, the
Southwest and then the nation.
His acceptance as chairman of
the new elective State Board of
Education ‘ because it is one of
the most significant jobs of the
last decade’’ is as typical as his
recent refusal to be a candidate
for president of the American
Petroleum Institute because he
wanted to keep on living in Texas.
Two of the other new members
who pushed him for the chair-
manship know him from personal
contact.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Patterson of
i Fort Worth and their little dau-
ghter came up for the week end
with the former’s parents, Rev. and
Mrs. J. P. Patterson.

block 2, D&WRR survey, drilled
a shallow sand from 1630-1635
feet and is rated at 40 to 50 bar-
els of oil per day equipped to
the pump.—Wichita Record News.
The above mentioned test, which
is not far northwest of Goree, is
strictly a wildcat, although there
has previously been Some drillings
in that territory, with small show-
ings. But it is 10 miles from the
closest production, on the Smith
land, over the line in Haskell
County.
The Cooksey well, which is the
first producer for Knox County,
will open up a lot of possibilities.
A large acreage has been leased
in other parts of the county, and
hopes for finding oil have been
favorable for some time.
From the standpoint of Baylor
I County, the developments just to
the west of us could not be view-
ed in a pessimistic light. In the
eastern part of Baylor there is a
nice little production now. but so
far. tests on the west side have
not been productive of good re-
sults.

S. Drane has about recovered
from an injured rib, received at
his home when he had a dizzy
spell and fell off his chair. Mr.
Drane is 87 years old, and has
had none too good health for the
past several years. Until not long
ago he was able to walk around
in the yard, but is not risking
that very much now.

MILLER-BRAZOS
SuJ Conservation District
Several cooperators of the Mil-
ler-Brazos Soil Conservation Dis-
trict have been noticing their dif-
ferent grasses. They have found
that there is just as much differ-
ence in some grasses as there is in
some livestock.
Now is a good time to make a
seasonal inventory of our grasses to
determine which ones are paying
off the best. It is just as import-
ant that we have good grasses in
our pastures as it is that we have
good merchandise in our busi-
nesses. We also need a variety of
grasses that will produce green
forage the year around. This re-
quires warm season and cool sea-
son grasses.
The cool season grasses, Canada
Wild Rye, Western wheat, and
Italian Rye grass that was plant-
ed by cooperators this fall, are
up and looking good. Cooperators
planting cool season grasses this
fall are: Emitt Golden, Carter
Taylor, J. C. Holman, George Mor-
ris, G. A. Simmons, and George
Higgins.
Other cooperators are making
preparations for planting warm
season grasses next spring by leav-
ing sudan grass on the land as a
stubble mulch to protect the young
seedlings and preserve moisture
for them. The warm season grasses
that are to be planted in the spring
are: Little bluestem, Indian grass,
side oat gramma, and King Ranch
bluestem. These are all tall and
1 mid grasses which produce a large
amount of forage when established.

'%/rOU See it quick - stepping along
-I. the highway—and you can’t
miss the parallel.
You glimpse a bold front end —sleek
tapering fenders — flaring, stream-
lined roof lines —even to "double
bubble’’ tailiights, here is the look
of "the fastest thing that flies.”
Then you try one on the road, cour-
tesy of your Buick dealer.
Adjectives flock into mind—"agile”
— "nimble” —"eager.”
You realize that here is action, swift
and easy — action born of Fireball
valve-in-head straight-eight power-
action floated on soft coil springs
that, for all their lightness, keep
your grip on the road sure-footed
and firm.
This you tell yourself, is traveling as
traveling should he.
Comfortable — in the spacious man-
ner of king-size interiors, hasy — in
the lightness of controls, which can
include even the magic of Dynaflow
Drive* if you wish. Pleasurable — in
the wide, wide outlook that’s yours,
and the inner satisfaction of having a
Buick for your very own.
And we might add another thing,
just by way of being practical.
It’s frugal too. Frugal in a first cost
that’s actually less than for some
sixes. Frugal in the surprising way
such a sizable car gives the go-by
to gas pumps.
And if you have Dynaflow, frugal
even in many upkeep costs you can
forget about — such as
clutch troubles, trans-
mission maintenance,
even many engine
servicing costs.
Why not put yourself
into one of these jet-
lined beauties right
now? It’s more easily
managed than you
might imagine — as
you’ll see by talking
to your Buick dealer.
