EVERYBODY GOES 1910—Styles of 1910 came to life this week when Cele-
bration Belles met in County Court room of the Courthouse. The young miss at
right came along just as the picture was being readied. She is Eulonda Nutt and was
beautiful in her old-fashioned dress. Standing beside Eulonda is Mrs. Bob Blake,
mother of the five youngsters. Mrs. Blake holds son Dale in her arms, and the
others, left to right, are Karen, Linda, Cheryl and Bobby. Mrs. Ivy Smith Jr., stands
back right. (News Staff Photo)
CELEBRATION BELLES—As authentic as research can produce are these
three costumes, and truly attractive they are. An extra finishing touch is added by
the carry-bag Dorothy Parker, left, swings on her arm. .Betty Hopper, center, chose
the full, ruffled skirt and white blouse, with colorful tie. Mary Hale wears calico
print, matching bonnet, mutton-leg sleeves, and an elegant ruffle trims the skirt.

the high school gymnasium.
Cheerleaders are asked to re-
port to the gym at 9:30 a.m.
while all girls interested in

Isn’t it odd that the easier a
gal is to look at, the harder the
fellers stare?

AFTER PLAY
Food is the surest thing to
give a small child renewed
energy after playing. Celery
stuffed with peanut butter or
cheese spread, small bowls of
hot soup, hot. chocolate and

Unlighted steps and walks are an accident waiting to happen.
Proper outdoor lighting helps prevent dangerous slips and
falls, and at the same time adds charm and beauty to your
home. A well-lighted yard discourages prowlers, too, and it
permits you to perform chores, like moving the lawn sprinkler,
with daytime ease. Your dealer or electrical contractor will
be glad to show you how economically
you can light your yard for
safety and protection. See
him about it soon.
