employed in a single project.

FOREST FIRES DO NOT
KILL FISH BY THEIR HE/AT.
After a forest fire is over there
are often many dead fish floating
in the streams nearby. The popu-
lar belief is that heat killed them.
But the real explanation is some-
thing different. It is the alkaline
chemicals in the ashes that do the
dirty work. These ashes blow and
fall into the streams and are later
washed there by rains. This
change in the chemical nature of
the streams and lakes causes the
death of countless fish,
will be co-ordinated into a com-
plete report which the Chamber
will use in setting up its Pro-
gram of Work.
In addition to local Chamber
officials and citizens working
on the project, Ralph E, Duncan,
community services manager of
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce, and several other panel-
ists from the West Texas Cham-
ber will work with clinic leaders
in an advisory capacity. ilk
In urging everyone to a*nd
the Community Clinic, Gail Car-
ley, president of Kermit Cham-
ber of Commerce, pointed out:
“During these clinics, every
citizen of Kermit will have the
opportunity to spend a single
hour that may have a vital ef-
fect upon your future. Your sug-
gestions at this meeting may
be the beginning of a new indus-
try for Kermit or a new civic
or cultural endeavor — or any
one of countless other activities
that will improve the economic
well-being of our county and en-
hance our earning possibilities.
“The Kermit Chamber of Com-
merce Is anxious to have your
suggestions and ideas on what
projects should be undertaken for
the benefit of this community
and its people.
“The meeting will be informal
and you will have the opportunity
to express your ideas. Please
be thinking about the future and
bring your ideas to the Com-
munity Clinic on Nov. 20 and 21,”
Carley concluded.

Many of you probably remem-
ber Ruth (Mrs. Gerald) Thomas
who now lives in Seminole.
Recently there came a nice
note from her ( it got covered
up for a time.) Her picture had
been printed in The Seminole
Sentinel.
She was one of several Semin-
ole residents who had attended
the TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sen-
sibly) Reducing Avengers meet-
ing in Lubbock and Mrs. Thomas
received special recognition.
Mrs. Thomas was graduated
from TOPS to KOPS (Keep Off
Pounds Sensible.) She reached her
goal with a loss of 42 pounds and
of the five which were graduated
to KOPS, she had lost the most
weight in order to reach her
goal.
Wish her picture would re-
print. She's slim and very at-
tractive looking.

of surprise
If you’ve never cooked electrically, you’re due for a
pleasant surprise when you do. The heat from an electric
range surface element doesn’t smudge or blacken pots
and pans. That’s because electric heating elements are
flameless. They cook with pure radiant energy. So you
spend less time scouring. You’ll also notice that flameless
electric heating elements cook cooler. They send their
heat into the food by direct contact with utensil bottoms,
do not waste it into the kitchen air. See the new electric
ranges at your dealer’s soon ... for cleaner, cooler
cooking the modern flameless way.
