Dry clothes on schedule
and in comfort...electrically
If you've waited for decent washdays in winter, you know
how many times you've been stood up. Nothing’s more un-
predictable, more frustrating than waiting on the weather.
Especially when baskets of wet clothes are waiting, too. With
an electric dryer in your home, you set a
firm date for washday, and it comes off
right on schedule. In snow, sleet or
rain, the weather is always perfect in-
side a flamelessly clean electric dryer
...even for the daintiest fabrics
and most delicate colors. Isn’t it
1 time to get the electric clothes dryer
you've been wanting? See your
electric dryer dealer soon.

Prepare For
Planting Grass
With winter almost upon us,
It won’t be long until it is again
time to plant bermudagrass.
“So right now is the proper
time to begin preparing a seed-
bed for successful planting,”
says L. N. (Slim) Lanford of
the Soil Conservation Service.
It used to be that people
waited until time to plant grass
to start preparing a seedbed.
“This doesn’t work,” says ex-
perienced farmers and ranch-
ers in the Nocona area like
Howard Paine, Hinds Clark and
Leo Newland. They point to the
fact that where they intensive- doval, 19, was hospitalized with
ly prepared a seedbed, they serious injuries in the accident
obtained a good stand of grass, which occurred at an unmark-
On the other hand, where they ed intersection of two county
neglected to prepare a good
seedbed, they failed to get a
good stand.
Tests conducted at different
experiment stations also prove
that in every case, the more
work put into seedbed prepar-
ation, the better the stand.
In other words, good seed-
bed preparation is the “key”
to successful grass planting.
Landowners in the Nocona
area who plan to plant ber-
mudagrass next spring can get
a headstart on a good stand
of grass if they will begin
seedbed preparation now. They
can receive assistance on this
from technicians of the Soil
Conservation Service, whopro-
vide assistance to landowners
in the Upper Elm-Red Soil and
Water Conservation District.

Campbell Speaks
To Rotary Club
Woodie Campbell, president
of the Texas Angus Association,
of Bowie, spoke to the Nocona Jud Gill, uncle and aunt, Mrs.
Rotary Club Tuesday noon and
showed colored slides of a good-
will “people-to-people” tour
of European farms which he
made.
Most of the slides were made
in Russia and Czech Slovakia
and showed the farming methods
of those countries. The tour
was sponsored by the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, and cov-
ered 21,000 air miles.
Last week, Rotary Club
speaker was John Simmons of
the Soil Conservation Service,
who talked about the Farmers
Creek Project in this area.
Simmons said that a lack of
money had stopped progress on
the project for the present but
that hope is . that funds will be
provided soon.
The project includes the
building of 10 large water con-
trol structures, 22 smaller ones
and 10 miles of channel im-
provement. Total cost is to be
$1,200,000.
Land owners must sign ease-
ments to obtain the structures
and some of these have not
yet been signed, Simmons said.
Burglars Hi!
Necona Firms
After several months
peaceful operation, several No-
cona business houses have been
hit by burglars within the past
week or 10 day s.
Last Wednesday night, the
culprits broke into Sands Res-
taurant and Motley Leather
Goods, both on Highway 82 East.
At the Sands, the thieves broke

took $36.80 in money along
with some cigarettes and cig-
ars. Nothing else was taken
from the restaurant, The News
was told.
At Motley Leather Goods,
$154.38 was taken as was some
western clothing. Entry was
gained through the front door
of the place.
On Friday night of the pre-
vious week, thieves broke into

more money. They entered
through a rear door.

way and City Officers inves-
tigated the break-ins. They had
some slim leads but no arrests
have been made.
