Telephone
furlough to home,
A Long Distance call is almost as good
as being there in person. Helps a lot
when there aren’t too many other calls
on the wires.
So whenever you can, please keep the cir-
cuits clear from 7 to 10 each night for
service men and women. Those evening
hours are their best chance to call from
camps and naval stations.

The death of Wendell L. Willkie
spread sorrow around the world.
He was a great man and few men
of this nation have wielded so
great an influence for good.
A Word of Thanks
T have closed my automobile repair business in Ce-
lina, preparatory to moving to Texarkana, and I
wish to express my very great appreciation to the
people of this community for the splendid business
they have given me throughout the months I have
been here.
I am sorry that circumstances seem to make it best
that I close my business here, but I want my custo-
mers to know that I am truly thankful to them for
their many kindnesses.

• ROBERT CASKY
Chambers of commerce and ser-
vice clubs of various sorts have
been started in Celina on many oc-
casions, only to be permitted to
wither and die from lack of in-
terest on the part of their mem-
bers. Now, a new chamber of com-
merce is being started here, at a
time when it is more badly need-
ed than ever before. It's opportu-
nities are unlimited, as are those
of Celina. Celina is already one
of the best small towns in the
state, in spite of tile fact that it
has had little help from an organ-
ization of its businessmen, and it
requires little imagination to vis-
ualize what it could be if it were
pushed by a live chamber of com-
merce, composed of members who
are willing to spend their time
and money in behalf of the com-
munity. For pete’s sake, let’s not
permit this new organization to
go the way of all its forerunners.
Celina business men will find that
it will pay them in money and
make the town a better, happier
place in which to live, if they will
get behind this new movement and
push with all their strength.

___1 chool days and study nights are here again. Help
make the task of learning easier for your children by get-
ting the full efficiency from your lighting. Grime, dust and
dirt are all saboteurs of good light... a bulb or reflector
that is dim from an accumulation of dirt and grime is
harmful to young eyes. Check ail study and floor lamp
and see that they are wiped clean and free from dust...
replace darkened bulbs with fresh ones of the proper size
... see, too, that lamps are arranged properly to elimi-
nate glare.
CLEAN BULBS AND BOWLS OFTEN1!
Dust and dirt steal light! Keep reflector ,
bowls and bulbs wiped clean with a damp
doth and you'll get as much as 25 to 30
per cent more light.
MAKE Fall USE of the LIGHT YOU HAVE!
By arranging furniture and lamps care-
fully, you can often make one lamp serve
two or more people effectively. But be sure
it isn’t too far away from cither! A differ-
ence of twelve inches can reduce the light
you get by as much as 50 per cent.
KEEP ALL LIGHT FIXTURES CLEAN!
Check all the light fixtures in your borne
... from kitchen to bedrooms ... soap and
water will do wonders in restoring die full
use of every lighting fixture in the house!
