VOLUME 52, NUMBER 7
ON the Record
By BENNIE O’BRIEN
CELINA, TEXAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1953
There’s a good portion of truth
in the old adage that “there’s
nothing new under the sun.’’ Take
three-dimensional movies, for in-
stance. This much-touted sensa-
tion which is helping put the grog-
gy movie business back on its
feet and keeping half the populace
dodging the arrows and spears of
hostile Indians is old stuff to
members of the generation to
which I belong.
The old-fashioned stereoscope
viewer which was standard equip-
ment in the parlors of our grand-
mothers was not only 3-D, but it
was a superior sort of 3-D as com-
pared to the current movie-screen
variety. The seemingly identical
photographs of exotic scenes which
fairly curled the hair of the small-
boy viewer were mounted side by
side on cardboard and placed on a
holder which was held up to the
eyes for the sensation of a life-
time.
No Indians shot arrows at you
from the stereoscope, but the life-
like scenes which it brought to
Grandma’s parlor on Sunday after-
noons were one of the thrills of a
small boy’s lifetime, and no 3-D
movie nowadays can possibly
create on him as lasting an im-
pression.

The administration of the gov-
ernment in Washington has lately
set out a scattering of trial bal-
loons to test the public reaction to
proposals that a general sales tax
be imposed by the federal govern-
ment.
Just for the record, let it be
known that this column’s reaction
is one of outraged protest. Taxes
in themselves are poisonous, and
they should not be administered in
a disguised form, like castor oil
in fruit juice.
The sales tax not only penalizes
the man of small means and of
small income, but it affords the
politician a relatively painless
means of extracting money from
the taxpayer. And taxes ought
not to be painless. They should be
as painful as it is possible for us
County Towns to Assist
In Financing County Fair
Celina, Melissa, Anna, Prince-
ton, Wylie and Weston have all
notified the Collin County Fair
Association, of which W. T. Dun-
gan of McKinney is president, of
their intention to assist in the fi-
nancial end of the fair this year.
These communities, by offering
this financial help, are responsible
for the increase in the premiums
which will be given away to the
winners in the various, depart-
ments of th fair. Celina was the
first town in the county to send
in a contribution, and Melissa fol-
lowed suit just a few days ago.
These commuities will also be rep-
resented at the fair with exhibits,
especially in the livestock depart-
ment.
Plans for the fair, which begins
September 30 at the fair grounds
in East McKinney, were completed
last Saturday afternoon at a
meeting of the Livestock Associa-
tion held at the chamber of com-
merce offices. Mrs. Annie Wilson
of Plano, president, conducted the
business session during which time
reports were heard from commit-
tees.
The four-day show will open on
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30
o’clock with a street parade under
the general direction of Charles
Bristol. Assistants will be Mrs. J.
R. Frisby, Route I, Celina; Walter
West, Bill George, Jimmie Jones,
and Jack Kerby, all of McKinney;
Lewis Spradley of Weston; Billy
Gee of Prosper; Jasper Fisher and
Pete Norris of Frisco, veryone is
invited to participate in the parade

Football Game
The Celina Bobcats played their
first non-conference game of the
season Thursday night with Gun-
ter, losing 24 to 6. We think our
boys did exceptionally well, this
being their first year to play six-
man football. Gunter played six-
man football last year. Our lone
scorer was Ray Pinion, who scored
in the last of the fourth quarter.
We are hoping to do better Thurs-
day when Gunter returns the
game under our own lights. Time
of game is 7:30. Be sure to be
there.

Hay Fever Not Funny,
Says State Health Officer
AUSTIN; It’s no fun to have hay
fever and sometimes it is serious
says Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State’
Health Officer. Persons who suf-
fer have a miserable time of it.
The repeated sneezing, intense
itching, watering of the eyes and
nose, and difficulty in breathing
may cause so much discomfort
that their vitality is lowered. It’s
hard for them to sleep and suffer-
ers often lose their appetite.
Hay fever makes a person more
susceptible to diseases of the si-
nuses, throat, and bronchial tubes.
Severe cases sometimes are ac-
companied by asthma. The most
common type of hay fever is
caused by sensitiveness to rag-
weed pollen. From late summer
until the first frost comes, the pol-
len is dry and light enough to be
blown by the wind. Unfortunately,
no place in Texas is free from rag-
weed.
You probably know that hay
fever, like asthma and some forms
of skin eruptions, is an allergy. It
is caused in the spring by tree pol-
lens, and in early summer by
grasses, such as timothy and red-
top, from which the name, “hay
fever,” is derived. House dust,
feathers, animal dander, some
foods, cedar pollen and cosmetics
may also cause hay fever. But as
we said: most hay fever is caused
by lagweed pollen in late summer.
In behalf of the many sufferers
from hay fever caused by ragweed
pollen, the state health depart-
ment urges everyone to destroy
this troublesome weed growing
wild around the premises, before
it blooms. You can kill it by spray-
ing it with chemicals, or by cut-
ting and letting it dry, and then
burning the weeds. Do not let the'
cut weeds lie on the ground after
they are dry, as the pollen will
scatter from them.
Not only is hay fever a miser-
able malady, but it can lead to
serious infections of the sinuses
and bronchial tubes, and because
of loss of sleep and appetite, it
lowers body resistance to disease
germs. Remember—take only
your physician’s advice and treat-
ment to relieve hay fever.

The News of Homemakers
There is little doubt but that
the success of the nation depends
on the home and the kind of rela-
tionships therein. As we all know,
the training toward making a suc-
cessful home begins in the home-
making classes, which leads us to
what our homemaking classes are
doing.
The eighth grade girls are study-
ing family relationships, while the
Homemaking I class is studying
nutrition, and how to have more
energy and better complexions and
hair.
The Honiemalring II girls are
cooking during the first semester.
Thursday they prepared their first
food laboratory, a simple break-
fast, with Mr. Luscombe as a

G1NNINGS
celina gins had (processed 1445
ba:es of eotton late Wednesday
af'ernoon, and the cotton trailers
ccfifinued to pour into town.
Toth gins were in operation
Prairie this week during a regular
meeting of the board of directors.
Miss Cashon formerly was in
charge of new accounts. Coming
from The First State Bank in Ce-
lina, Texas, she assumed duties at
the local bank in 1951.
In discussing her promotion, B.
A. Stufflebeme, president, said,
“Miss Cashon has probably made
more friends and has spread more
cheer in our bank since she joined
our staff than any member of our
organization. Her courtesy and
genial smile have made her one of
our most valued employees and
her promotion is well deserved.”
Miss Cashon is a daughter of
Mr .and Mrs. L. C. Cashon of Ce-

Celina and Alla schools are in
session only from 7:00 a. m. to

schools are closed in order that
West Collin county’s bumper
cotton crop may be harvested
without violation of the federal
child labor law which prohibits an
employer from hiring a school-age
child for work during the hours
the child’s school is in session.
Representatives of the Wage-
Hour Division, U. S. Department
of Labor, are reported to have
visited West Collin, intent on en-
forcing provisions of the law.
Rumors are that charges were
filed agaist several violators in
the Prosper-Frisco area, but none
in the vicinity of Celina or Alla. |
W. H. Miller, superintendent of
Celina schools, said Wedesday
that cooperation of both teachers
and students in the Celina school
had been excellent. Attendance has

schedule.
The home nursing program in
Collin County is rehognized in the

Fourteen of nineteen Home
Demonstration Clubs in Collin
County have tparticipated in the
program. And 250 home demon-
stration club women have received
their certificates in home nursing.
The women have learned how to
give sick ones efficient care. They
have found many items can be
made in the home that will make
nursing easier and bring greater
comfort to the patient. And they
have shared their knowledge with
others by having a prize winning
demonstration booth at the Collin
County fair the past two years.

The next crop to be planted on
a part of the vetch land was cot-
ton which yielded more than one
half of a bale per acre in 1952. “I
estimate that the vetch increased
my cotton yields at least 25
cent,” said Mr. Litchford. “Oats
and Madrid clover were planted on
another part of the vetch field in
the fall of 1952. After more than
two years the effects of the vetch
were easy to see. The oats follow-
ing the vetch were at least a foot
higher than oats after cotton and
corn,” continued Litchford.
“Corn made a faster growth and
better yield on the vetch land in
1953,” concluded Litchford. Bene-
ficial effects of winter crops such
as vetch and Austrian winter peas
last for several years. Many con-
servation farmers like Mr. Litch-
foid have realized increased yields
from crops following legumes for
from three to five years after
turning under the soil improving
crops.
Vetch and Austrian winter peas
add nitrogen to the soil at the rate
of 50 to 100 pounds per acre. Ni-
trogen is very essential to the
growth and high yields of cotton,
corn, and small grain. Vetch and
winter peas will add green ma-
terial to the soil at the rate of five
to eight tons per acre when turned
under. Organic matter aids in the
conservation and storage of water
A good growth of these legumes
will also protect the land against
winter and early spring rains.
Vetch when planted with small
grain provides excellent winter
and spring supplemental grazing
for livestock. g
The planting dates for vetch and
winter peas extends from Sept. 15
to November '
