THEY'LL MAKE IT NOTEWORTHY
These three attractive 17-year-old Levelland girls, highly
popular as a singing group called “The Three Notes”,
promise to make the Farm Bureau’s big July 30 talent

lespie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Gillespie; Mary
Beth Wofford, doughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jess Wofford,

Are you an old fatty, who simply |
cant't push himself away from the
table? Got the cancer stick habit j
and can't quit? Or maybe you stut- j
ter and stammer every time you |
decide you're going to propose to j
the little lady you plan to marry or |
tell off the one you did? Drink too
much?
Maybe you still don't have that
big son of yours bed broke? Or
you can't save enough money to
run away from home?
oOo
Folks, you can solve all these
problems easy. And you'll
hardly know it.
All you've got to do is use
both your minds. That's right
friend, you’re a twin.
You've probably been so busy
pampering that sweet, negative
little personality you have
that you hadn’t noticed that
mental slave you have follow-
ing you around and taking
down everything you see, hear
smell or feel in shorthand and
filing it away in the vast fil-
ing cabinets of the mind.
oOo
All asinine, strictly asinine, you
say?
It's in basic substance the claims
made by a speaker before the
Brownfield Kiwanis Club Thursday
evening. Alton Logsdon, Odell Fra-
zier and this new's hack all attend-
ed the meeting.
You’ve known for a long time
that you’ve had two minds — a
conscious mind and a subconscious
mind.
The subconscious mind is what
drives the car for you from habit,
makes you think to take a breath,
smells the fragrance of a flower
or skunk, and keeps you from for-
getting how to walk or swim.
You do all your thinking with
your conscious mind, and the sub-
conscious is your slave. You read
something and the conscious mind
funnels it back to the subconscious
am) files it away It brings the in-
formation back up for use again
at a later date when it’s needed.
oOo
What In an education other
than the packing ot tile sub-
conscious with Information on
history, culture, and with the
language and learned proced-
ures for winding an armature
or soiling a mathematical e-
quation.
All ot this vast river ol know-
ledge for the most part, comes
in through your conscious mind.
It’s a wonderful device, the
conscious mind. Without it you
would be a perfect idiot. Yet
sometimes it stands in your
way, a barrier to you.
cOo
The reason is because about 95
per cent of the thought impulses
which your subconscious stores
up for you are negative.
“Don’t slam the door!"
“Don’t track mud through the
house!”
"Don’t smack your lips! Eat
with your mouth closed.”
“A good boy doesn't do things
like that.”
“You may think you're smart.
Well, you're not so smart."

CHICAGO (AP) — A young New

Wednesday, turned up in a Chi-
cago lake front park today and
told police she had been kidnaped
in Newark, terrorized for two days
and then dumped by two toughs.
the City of Levelland and Hockley
County jointly own the Levelland
Airport.
County commissioners and city
councilmen arrived at that conclu-
sion this week after searching
through old city checks and com-
missioners court minutes.
The city produced cancelled
checks payable to the county for
one half the amount. paid for the
airport and county officials found
a resolution in the minutes of a 1949
court meeting which stated that the
city and county shared the field on
an equal basis.
ATTORNEYS FOR BOTH gov-
ernmental bodies are now drawing
up a contract to be fixed in the
minutes of each showing that oper-
ation of the airport rests solely
with the city, says Mayor Spencer
Ellis.
That action clears the way for
the city to negotiate with C. L.
Muse, for a possible lease on the
airport. Muse, formerly of Here-
ford, has been talking terms of a
lease for more than a month with
the city council.
THE OWNERSHIP QUESTION
arose Monday in a joint meeting
of councilmen and commissioners.
With confusion clouding the issue,
officials on both sides began to dig
tack into records. City officials
jUid they thought some agreement
**n mutual ownership had been
reached when the airport was
bought, while some of the com-
missioners declared that ownership
rested solely with the county,
which had turned operational rights
over to the city.
City Secretary L. E. Mabe check-
ed auditor’s reports for the city
for several years back and in the
1945-46 report gained a lead on
some checks which the city had giv-
en the county.
He searched in the files and came
up with two documents, one dated
court meetings and came up with
several items of information on the
ownership situation.
In a special sesion on Feb. 17,
1945, the court unanimously car-
ried a motion that the county co-
operate with the city on an equal
basis in the purchase of a site and

Avenue I, county librarian —
We have a new book, ‘Dear
and Glorious Physician,’ by
Caldwll which is very good.
I think as for a fiction, “Gone
with the Wind” would be good
also the ‘Silver Chalice,’ by
Thomas B. Costain. We also
have a pretty good new one,
“Exodus.’’
Mrs. Deane Barks, 318 Dou-
ble U Drive — “I think that
the Bible, first of all should be
read for spiritual guidance and
inspiration. After that, I think
a person should read a good
world history In order to have
a good understanding of the
past and appreciate what has
been accomplished. A person
should read a good basic or
general science book In order
a good understanding of the

Of course my students would
be disappointed if I didn’t men-
tion one of Shakespeare’s plays.
‘Hamlet’, which I like best of
all his plays. Also ‘The Robe,’

Vice president

boasts as threat
MOSCOW (AP) — US. Vice
President Richard M. Nixon told
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
face to face today, in a rough and
tumble public debate, it would
“be a great blow to peace” if the
Geneva conference were allowed
to fail.
Nixon traded barbed comments
with the Soviet leader while es-
corting him through the American
exhibition in Moscow's Sokolniki
Park.
At one point, Khrushchev ac-
cused Nixon indignantly of threat-
ening him. Nixon denied this, but
said:
“I don’t believe the cause of
peace is helped by your reiterat-
ing the point you just made —
that you have more strength than
we have, because thati s a threat,
too.”
While 200 newsmen, photog-
raphers and cameramen eaves-
dropped the two men engaged in
a running foreign policy debate
while they looked over the ex-
hibits of dolls, swimsuits and au-
tomobiles.
Part of the unscheduled fire-
works was recorded while they
toured a color television studio.
Cameras ground away as they
argued.
Tourists, workmen and exhibi-
tion officials looked on in amaze-
ment.
Nixon promised Khrushchev
this portion of the debate would
be shown on an American televi-|
sion network uncensored, with*
simultaneous English translations,
of the Soviet leader’s remarks.
Khrushchev.' in answer to a
request by Nixon, agreed to allow
video tape to be shown on Soviet
television. The two men shook
hands on the deal.
As they stood on the threshold
of a model kitchen in an Ameri-
can home, Nixon and Khrushchev
started talking about the relative
merits of washing machines and
wound up in a sometimes bitter
exchange.
“Let us not beat around the
bush,” Khrushchev said. “The
