h
BOYCE
HOUSE
From out of the nowhere, all thru
life’s storms and trials, and to the
very threshold of the pearly gates,
the home town newspaper carries
the individual.
When Doctor Stork deposits six
pounds of pink and shriveled cussed-
ness. squalling, at the home the par-
ents, the home paper assumes its
helpful watchfulness over the new-
born babe's destiny by adding four
pounds and making him “a fine,
bouncing ten-pound boy.”
When he reaches manhood and
wanders from the old nest, and
through the influence of his Uncle
G«o’ ge, gets a job driving a bus for
the Insect Inn at Bingville, the old
home paper comes through and puts
him in “a lucrative position of trust.”
Ande when he persuades some mis-
guided female to share his miserable
fortune, the home paper describes
him as a “sterling young business
man, brave and handsome.”
Then when middle age has
thinned his hair and put his waist-
line in the lead, the home paper
brushes the dandruff off his coat, ob-
scures the tobacco juice on' his shirt
front and makes him “a substantial
citizen.”
When politics gets into his sys-
tem and he tries to get elected to
the legislature, he is au|^Wnade
by the sam^^^^^^HLicy
from the
low—walls of rock, huge boulders,
granite in all kinds of weird con-
formations.
No wonder that the unknown cow-
boy who first saw the canyon ex-
claimed, “Golly, what gulch!”
Of course, you want to know what
caused it: every visitor asks that
question. Mason King has an answer
for you. He says:
“An early-day banker in the Pan-
handle dropped a nickle in a prairie-
dog hole and he dug all this out try-
ing to recover the nickle!”
But Time, using wind and water
and cold and heat, was the builder,
naturally.
You see a story of untold ages
spread before you in the different
strata that form vari-colored streaks
in the wall of the canyon, says Guy
Stnder, paleonthologist, and he jug-
gles hundreds of thousands of years
so skillfully in his conversation that
you would scarcely be surprised to
see a dinosaur come lumbering
along.
The lighthouse; the profile of Sa-
tanta: the Capitol, (you se» the dome
and one wing for the “House,” the
other for the “Senate”) and other
formations attract thousands of
tourists yearly to Palo Duro Can-
yon.”

WOMEN LEARN TO BE
AIRCRAFT METAL WORKERS
At midnight seven days a week in
the machine shops on the A. & I. Col-
lege campus in Kingsville there
meets a group of young women who
are in real earnest about this matter
of winning the war.
For six hours, from 12 midnight to
6 a. m. these housewives and clerks
and ordinary American girls work
on drill presses and anvils and rivet-
ing machines, learning to be air-
craft metal workers. Then they drive
back to Alice, which is their home,
and some of them go about their
housework, while others report to
the offices and stores and shops
here they work during the day.
/There's nothing magical about the
Inight-to-sun-up shift. It just hap-
that that was the only time
jould get access to the instruc-
the equipment. The A. & I.
iave been on a 24-hour, 7-day
for months, and when the
men of Alice suggested
this project for the girls
I of the town, they found
only available time.

Needs Essily Met ~ ICE
You Can Still Buy a
New Ice Refrigerator!
/^HEER UP if the war caught you without good re-
V>< frigeration! They’re still making Ice Refrigera-
tors by authority of the War Production Board, which
recognizes that national health is vital to Victory.
The Victory model Refrigerator uses 20 pounds or
less of steel instead of 150 pounds or more as before.
Yet, these new refrigerators do a better job of food-
keeping than many old-style metal jobs.
Low temperatures and moist, circulating ice-cold
air keep foods fit, fresh and tasty. You can count on
plenty of ice always, because there’s no ice shortage
whatever. It’s plentiful and cheap. Go down today or
tomorrow *to see Your Dealer or Central Power and
Light Company about a new Ice Refrigerator!
