CELINA, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1953

ON the Record
By BENNIE O’BRIEN
V.VAVWW.VVVAVWAWV
The Record’s story a week or
two ago which told of Mrs. J. G.
Rothfus’ gift to the Record editor
of a “dozen eggs in a half-dozen
shells” brought to light two more
examples of the enterprise and
originality of Celina hens.
Mrs. Pat Lloyd telephoned to
say that in her flock was a white
Leghorn hen who outdid the Roth-
fus hen with an egg that measured
8 inches in circumference the long
way and 7 inches the short way
around.
P. D. Williams brought to The
Record office three eggs he found
in his hen-nests which indicated
his hens might be faking lessons
from Salvador Dali. Two of the
eggs closely resembled a football,
with the stitching and other mark-
ings clearly outlined in relief on
the shell. The other looked much
like a squash, curved neck and all.
*
The Record is hereby declaring
war on “et al.”, “et vir” and “et
ux.” These Latin words and abbre-
viations which mean, respectively,
“and others,” “and husband,” and
“and wife,” have been lawyers’
favorites since time immemorial,
and they have crept into the court
news columns of most country
newspapers, The Record not ex-
cepted.
Since the public schools seem
determined by their ommission of
Latin from the curriculum to make
the language of Horace even dead-
er, The Record will do its part in
administering the coup de grace
by substituting plain English for
these old favorites of the legal
profession.
If you see “et al.”, “et vir” or
“et ux.” in The Record from now
on, It will be because the editorial
pencil wasn’t looking.
☆
Instead of courageously weeding
out the graft, incompetence and
sheer thievery inherited from the
New and Fair Deals, the Repub-
lican administration is taking the
course of least resistance. Instead
of a reduction in taxes, citizens of
the United States mqy, on the con-
trary, be faced soon with the pros-
pect of paying even more. Admin-
istration leaders are reported to be
toying with the idea of a national
sales tax and, if this comes, it will
not be in place of the income tax,
but superimposed upon it.
There can be no tax falling
heavier on the individual of low
income than the sales tax. If one
must spend $2,000 a year to live,
and one man earns $2,000 while
another earns $4,000, then the
$2,000-a-year man is taxed on his
entire income, while the other has
$2,000 free of the sales tax.
The plea that we must continue
with the present high tax rates for
the sake of our military security
is a false one, as can be shown by
the fact that the Air Force has
awarded contracts to the Kaiser-
Frazer corporation for airplanes
at $1,200,000 each while the Fair-
child corporation was receiving
$260,000 each for the same plane.
So long as the government has
unlimited money to spend, it will
spend it, on first one excuse, and
then another. The only way under
heaven we can stop them is to
limit the supply of money and
credit they have available. Their
money can be limited by a reduc-
tion in taxes. The credit can be
limited by placing United States
currency back on the gold stand-
ard, where it belongs.
Methodist Pastor Here
Will Ask For Transfer
Rev. C. B. Garrett, pastor of the
First Methodist Church here, has
announced that he has requested a
transfer to another church, subject
to the action of the North Texas
Methodist Conference, which will
be in session in Dallas this week-
end. Appointments of pastors will
be announced Sunday.
Mr. Garrett stated he was hope-
ful of being transferred to a col-
lege town where their son, Jimmie,
may attend college after his grad-
uation from high school next year.
The Rev. Luther Nelson, a for-
mer pastor here, will preach the
morning sermon at the Methodist
church next Sunday. Mr. Nelson is
an Army chaplan, stationed in Al-
buquerque, N. M.

Officers Here Tuesday
Mrs. C. F. Choate was installed
Worthy Matron of the Celina
chapter of Eastern Star Tuesday
evening in a candlelight ceremony
in the Masonic hall. Mrs. Joe Rob-
erts was installing officer.
The hall was beautifully decor-
ated with arrangements of spring
flowers, and flowers of appropri-
ate colors were at each star point

Vaporizers Not All They’re
Cracked Up to Be, Is Claim
AUSTIN, TEXAS.—Don’t put
too much stock in advertised
claims for the bug-killing proper-
ties of so-called “vaporizers,”
State Health Officer George W.
Cox cautioned Texans today.
He said “indiscriminate use” of
the gadets in homes or sleeping
quarters could make the fumes
more toxic to humans than to in-
sects.
Vaporizers are familiar as
small glass or metal instruments
with a conical-shaped insecticide
The first trickles of what prom-
ises to be a flood of grain had
reached Celina early this week, and
the full force of the golden deluge
was expected to be felt by next
Monday, if the current weather
holds.
For weeks now, observers of the
grain fields about Celina have
said, “We’ve got it made—-if noth-
ing happens,” and have kept
their fingers crossed. Now, it ap-
pears that, barring an improbable
spell of wet, stormy weather, the
best crop of wheat, oats and bar
ley in years is virtually “in the
bag.”
W. R. Baldridge, local grain
buyer, said Tuesday that C. F.
Choate harvested a crop of volun-
teer barley that averaged 59
bushes to the acre. Moreover, it
tested 49 to 50 pounds to the
bushel, and was completely free of
wheat and oats. Baldridge said
most of the wheat so far was going
into the government loan, and net-
ting the farmer $2.12 to $2.14
after handling and storage was
paid. This is 12 to 14 cents above
prices being offered by dealers.
All the wheat Baldridge had seen
was of particularly good grade.
The loan on oats, he said, was 86
to 87 cents. Oats can be stored on
the farm, but wheat must go into
government-approved storage to
be eligible for loan.
R. L. Willard, Jr., another Ce-
lina grain buyer, Tuesday bought
71,440 pounds of wheat of Robert
E. Julian, which had been produced
on 35 acres. This is an average of
a fraction over 34 bushels to the
acre. All was No. 1 wheat, 13%
moisture and tested 64 and 65
pounds per bushel. The grain was
cut by Raymond Huddleston and
his son, Billy Ray Huddleston,
combine operators. Price was $2.00
a bushel.
Other combine operators have
said most of the wheat they are
cutting is averaging better than
30 bushels per acre.

Abundance of Notaries,
Applications Indicate
If you have a legal paper that
requires the signature and seal of
a notary public, you shouldn’t have
to go far in Celina before you
locate a notary. Thirteen Celina-
ites and one Weston man Monday
applied for commissions as
notary public for the next two
years.
The applicants, most of them re-
newing existing commissions were:

Livestock Market
FORT WORTH.—Swine grow-
ers could enjoy a rueful smile
Monday as hogs hit the highest
peak since November 1948 at
Fort Worth. Choice butcher hogs
sold at $25.15-25.75. The joy was
tempered by the fact that several
years of low prices for hogs had
thinned down the hog population
to where while the price was good,
the numbers were few.
Most hog breeders are frantical-

Widely advertised and sold for
“killing bugs the easy way,” one
brand comes complete with 8
months supply of chemicals, and
makes claims of being “non-
toxic, odorless, guaranteed .posi-
tive extermination of flies, roaches,
mosquitoes, all insects . . . Meets
all state and federal require-
ments.”
Dr. Cox called these claims
“completely misleading,” and
pointed to a March 27 statement
released by the federal Inter-
departmental Committee on Pest
Control to back him up. The state-
ment said:
“Because of the health haz-
ards inherent in the misuse of in-
secticide vaporizers used as fumi-
gators, (the committee) recom-
mends against their use in living
quarters.”
The committee is composed of
representatives of the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare;
Departments of Agriculture and
Interior; and the army, navy, and
air force.
The health officer conceded the
gadets might have some benefi-
cial application in commercial or
industrial establishments where
human exposure will not be con-
tinuous and food contamination,
will not occur.
But he emphasized that it is
“dangerous and foolhardy to in-
stall them in homes, and advertis-
ing them for such use is indefensi-
ble.”
Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Shulze and
daughter Linda, and Mrs. J. R.
Burkeen and two daughters of
Mission, Texas, arrived Monday
evening for a visit wnth Mr. and
Mrs. L. W. Terrell. Mrs. Shulze
and Mrs. Terrell are sisters and
Mrs. Burkeen is a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Terrell. Mr. and Mrs.
Shulze will attend graduation
exercises Thursday evening at
NTSC, Denton, where their daugh-
ter, Doris, will be awarded a
bachelor’s degree in sociology.
Miss Betty Robinson of Texark-
ana, a former teacher in Celina
schools, visited Mr. and Mrs. B. L.
Biggerstaff last week-end.
time ago it was announced that the
hog population was smaller than
the numbers of cattle on the
nation’s farms. The ideal relation-
ship is generally conceded to be
10 per cent more hogs than cattle
in the country.
Sows and pigs were steady, sows
mostly $20 to $22 and feeder pigs
from $21 down.
Cattle buyers were highly selec-
tive. The fed beeves were scarce
and good and choice dry-lot fed
cattle ruled strong. Grassers were
weak to lower. Cows ruled steady
to 50 cents lower. Bulls held
steady.
Good and choice fat calves were
steady but the common, plain and
medium in-between sorts sold
weak to lower. High quality Stock-
ers were steady, but others draggy
and plain stockers sold mainly for
low grade killers. Demand for
Stocker cows was very narrow.
Good and choice fed steers and
yearlings $18-22.50. I. S. Scott
Castro County, had a load weigh-
ing 758-lbs. at $22.50. B. T. Wood-
ard, Hunt County, had a load of
cross-bred Brahmans at $21 that
averaged 810 lbs. Common, plain
and medium steers and yearlings
$10.00-16.00, some rannies.
Fat cows mostly $9.00-12.00,
just a few higher. Scaling V.
Ranch, Clay County, had 17 cows
at 1,047 lbs, at $13.75, and 20
cows at 1,108 lbs. at $12.50. Odds
reached $14. Canners and cutters
$6.00-9.00. Bulls $8.00-14, Larkin
Renick, Llano County, had two top
bulls at 1,530 lbs. at $14.
Good and choice fat calves drew
$17 to $20, with common and med-
ium butchers at $10.00-15.00. Culls
$8.00-10.00. Good and choice
stocker steer calvSs $16.00-20.00.
good and stocker steer yearlings
$15.00-19.00; heifer calves and
yearlings $2 under comparable
steers. Few stocker cows $10 00-
14.00.

A beehive of activity last week,
the Celina High School campus
this week was practically deserted,
with only a car or two parked
nearby, and practically nobody in
evidence.
The seniors, graduated at last,
had left Monday on a trip to South
Texas, that is, those of them who
had not gone immediately to work.
The summer’s activities had en-
gulfed the remainder of the stu-
dents, and teachers had gone home
to rest or to college for summer
terms.
W. H. Miller, superintendent, re-
mained in his office, where he is
tying up the loose ends, and mak-
ing preparations for the building
program which the school will em-
bark upon soon. He said it was
hoped to get started in about a
week on a vocational agriculture
building and a band hall. The lat-
ter will include a band room,
another class room, and office
space, and will be built on the
present campus. The ag building
will be across the street south of
the present building, on a 50-foot
lot recently purchased by the
school.
Jobs for most, and college for a
few, beckoned to the graduates.
Questioned as to the plans of his
crop of 1953 grads, Mr. Miller told
as best he knew what they were
planning to do, now that their
high school days are over.
Nolan Dorsey hasn’t made up
his mind—yet. Leon Mosier wants
to be an automobile mechanic.
Louis Pafford has already enlisted
in the Coast Guard and is awating
a call to duty, suitcase in hand.
Lindell Rash is working for his
father, a building contractor who
is currently engaged in building a
number of new houses in Garland.
Another graduate who told the
superintendent he hadn’t quite
decided what his plans were is Ocie
Vest. Robert Shook is bound for
college, where he will study phar-
macy. Already at work in a drug-
store in Austin, Shook plans to en-
roll in Texas University this fall.
Truett Wallis will enter San Ange-
lo College this fall, and work in
San Angelo during the summer.
Kermit Ward wants to become a
railway employee.
Bill Willard is going to business
college in Dallas, and Raymond
Wingfield plans to go to NTSC
this fall. Patsy Watson and Betty
Watson, sisters, are working in
Dallas, while Daisy Cave will re-
main with her parents on their
farm for a while.
Carol Ewton will move soon to
Dallas with- her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. Ewton, and plans to
get a job there.
Sue Gearhart, one of the honor
students, also plans to work in
Dallas. Sue was the recipient of
the annual Balfour award for ex-
cellence in scholarship, loyalty, and
achievement. She was chosen by
the faculty for this and the activ-
ities award.
Matilda Grey did not state her
plans. Peggy Harvell, another
graduate, is the recent bride of Don
Loftice. A job in Dallas will also
claim Barbara Hunn, and Wanda
Lloyd will probably go to work,
but she does not yet know what
she will do. Glenda- Gayle Melton,
who married Ken Spradlin some
months ago, is living with her
husband in Wichita Falls. Velma
June O’Brien has a job in Dallas.
Betty Peterman McDonald will
soon join her husband in Germany.
He is in the Army there.
Donald Jack Manes and Norman
Pafford are in the Armed Forces.
Patsy Cashon, who finished her
work at mid-term, is working for
The First State Bank. Loretta
George has a position in Dallas.
As for the teachers, the end of
school was the signal for them to
scatter, too. Miss Anna Graves,
third grade teacher, and Miss
Mary Graves, sixth grade, moved
back to Sherman, to join their
father for the summer. Miss Mar-
jorie Holder has moved to her
home in McKinney, and will rest
for the summer.
Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Prince will
move to Waco, and Mrs. R. J.
Shook will go to NTSC for the
first six weeks. Ed Luscombe,
newly-appointed high school prin-
cipal, will also go to NTSC this
summer. Mrs. Tommie Bothwell,
first grade teacher, and Mrs. Vol-
ney Phillips, high school English
teacher, live in Celina. Billy Ray
Huddleston, high school science and
mathematics teacher, will work on
the farm this summer. Mrs. Shir-
ley Farmer, home economics teach-
er, is on a 10-months contract, has
another month of work to do, and
then will join her family in Den-
ton.
Mr. Miller, the superintendent,
and Bruce Moreland, vocational
agriculture teacher, each are on
twelve-months contracts, and will
Tom Milligan, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Milligan of Celina, last
Friday received a bachelor of
science degree in agricultural
education from Texas A&M Col
lege.
Milligan and his wife, who have
been living in College Station
are moving to Fort Worth, where
Milligan has a position on the
staff of the Fort Worth Star-Tel-
egram.

Fiftieth Anniversary of
Home Dem Work Observed
Members of the Collin County
Council of home demonstration
clubs held their regular monthly
meeting in the basement of the
First Baptist church in McKinney
with 62 club women attending.
Theme of the program was a cele-
bration of the fiftieth anniversary
of extension and home demon-
stration club work.
Collin County’s first home dem-
onstration agent was Miss Martha
Ganzer in 1918. Home demonstra-
tion club work has continued in
Collin County since that time.
Thirty-two women were present at
the meeting who had been in home
demonstration club work from 20
to 35 years. Miss Eva Bryan of
Lebanon presented the history of
home demonstration club work.
Roses were pinned on home dem-
onstration club members who had
Arthur Sims Home After
Treatment at Gonzales
Warm Springs Foundation
GONZALES.—Arthur M. Sims,
Jr., Celina, recently a patient at
Gonzales Warm Springs Founda-
tion, has been discharged from
that Texas treatment center and
returned home. Mr. Sims is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Sims,
Sr. of Celina.
Mr. Sims was referred to the
Gonzales physical medicine spec-
ialty hospital by his physician for
a program of rehabilitation follow-
ing a siege of polio suffered Sep-
tember, 1937. He was admitted
May 4.
As part of the continuing treat-
ment program, a series of home
routines have been set up for Mr.
Sims, and he will return to the
Gonzales hospital for periodic
checks-ups and to maintain the
correct fit of his braces and other
appliances. Improved techniques
in hospital and home-adminstered
treatments have enabled the treat-
ment center to effectively reduce
the average hospitalization period
and thus accept a greater number
of patients each year.
Gonzales Warm Springs Foun-
dation is a non-profit, non-secta-
rian hospital, built and maintained
by contributions from all over the
state of Texas. First opened in
1941, there are now facilities to
house 105 patients. A building
program just getting under way
will increase that capacity by
about 30 per cent.
UNSUAL HYDRANGEA
Sunday’s Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram carried a photograph of an
unusual hydrangea plant which is
growing at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. L. D. Cozart, 3604 Hamp-
shire, Fort Worth. The plant is 4
feet tall and boasts 70 large
blooms. Mr. and Mrs. Cozart are
former Celinaites, the former a son
of Mrs. Minnie Cozart, and the
latter a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Gid Nichol of Celina.
been in club work for 10 or more
years. Fifty-two of the women
present had been in home demon-
stration club work for this period
of time and received a rose for
their activities in the improvement
of their home and rural life.
In the past 35 years home dem-
onstration club work in Collin
county has advanced from the can-
ning club to one of trying to im-
prove all phases of the home and
family living. The home demon-
stration agents in those days rode
in a horse and buggy or a Model
T Ford and fought very muddy bad
roads, in order to assist the farm
families of Collin County. It is
quite a contrast to the good roads
and fast cars which we have this
day and time.
Mrs. G. H. Allen of Celina pre-
sided over the afternoon program.
The group voted during the busi-
ness session to pay $20, $1 per
club, on the National 4-H Founda-
tion which is to be built in Wash-
ington, D. C. as a shrine to 4-H
club work.
The council also voted to give
$48 toward the expense of 4-H
club camp in Trinidad and to A&M.
Mrs. John Shipp of Lucas, and
Mrs. R. N. Furr of Rhea Mills and
Mrs. Lurline Daspit, agent, had a
round table discussion on the
District 4-H club meeting which
was held in Denton in April.
Betty Summers and Jean Car-
penter of Allen, District 4-H club
winners, presented a dairy food
demonstration on “Better Looks
Through The Milky Way.”
