Pie-Tty of outlets and
switches, conveniently lo-
cated. Adequate wiring is
the key to better electrical
living.
Before you build, buy or remodel a home,
check the wiring system or wiring plans
with your electrical contractor. Make
sure you have large enough wire, enough
circuits and enough outlets and switches
to take care of your electrical needs, now
and in the future. Don’t let "skimpy”
wiring prevent you from enjoying better
electrical living.

Trying to meet today’s expanding elec-
trical needs with under-sized home wir-
ing is like trying to fill a tea kettle with
an eye dropper.
Home wiring that’s too small chokes
down the flow of electricity to lights and
appliances. Lights dim when the refrig-
erator starts up or the electric iron is in
use. Heating appliances come up to tem-
perature slowly, wasting electricity and
taking more time to do their jobs. Cir-
cuits become overloaded, causing wires
to heat up dangerously or fuses to blow.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Veterans Ad-
ministrator Gen. Omar N. Bradley
warned today that the on-the-job
training program for veterans
threatens a national scandal involv-
ing millions in federal funds.
He said that reports of “irregulari-
ties” have reached his office recently
but that even without these “it is ap-
parent that something is wrong.”
“From the outset, unscrupulous
persons lost no time in taking advan-
tage of veterans training on the job.”
Bradley told members of the United
Spanish War Veterans at their 48th
national encampment here, “The dis-
honest employer and the unthinking
veteran have already infected the
program in many states.”
Something is wrong, he said, when
it takes three years to learn to be a
stock clerk in one state and three
mbnths in another and when training
establishments lower the beginning
wage of its trainees by an amount
equal to their subsistence allowance.
He said both employers and veter-
ans were resorting to “trick prac-
tices.” One garage owner in a
southern town, he explained, low-
ered the wage of a mechanic from
$35 to $23 as soon as the veteran ap-
plied for training to become a fore-
man. . The employer explained that
the subsistence allowance would
more than make up the difference.
In a large western department
store, Bradley said, both the adver-
tising and sales managers applied for
job training. One — the president’s
son drawing a salary of $700 monthly
—was training for the president’s
job. The other, drawing $600, was
training for the vice-presidency.
“These trick practices stand in
danger of besmirching a program
that can offer honest and useful
training to thousands of veterans who
need it,” the VA Administrator said.

“Growing Old”
They say that I am growing old;
I’ve heard them tell it times untold
In language plain and bold.
But I’m not growing old;
This frail shell in which I dwell
Is growing old, I know quite well,
But I am not the shell.
What if my hair is turning gray?
“Gray hairs are honorable,” they say:
What if my eyesight is growing dim?
I still can see to follow Him
Who sacrificed His life for me
Upon the Cross of Calvary.
Why should I care if Time’s old plow
Has left its furrow on my brow?
Then how can I be growing old
When safe within my Saviour’s fold?
Ere long this soul shall fly away
And leave this tenement of clay;
“This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise
To seize the everlasting prize.”
I’ll meet you on the streets of gold
And prove that I’m not growing old.
—Robert C. Medearis.

Abreast of the times: In Mineral

County Agent Welton H. Jones
said Monday that Grayson County is
faced with a serious menace to cotton
crops, from leaf worms which are
spreading over the southern part of
the county recently.
“Unless the worms are checked im-
mediately, no cotton will escape se-
rious injury or maybe total loss,”
Jones said. “The leaf worm moths
have been traced to South America
where they spend the winter. In
spring they fly northward and hit
South Texas. From there they keep
migrating northward.
Jones explained that reports of the
leaf worms and the moths have been
increasing. Farms around Leonard
in Fannin County were reported in-
fested with them a few days ago. The
county agent made a trip to the
southern part of Grayson County and
discovered them there, he said.
“The only way to stop them is to
begin the fight immediately,” he said.
“This is the first generation. If they
are stopped the battle is half won but
And all of us have known men
who make a good first impression but
they can’t maintain it — they are
superficial. When you go through
their front door, you’re in their back-
yard.
Fire will not postpone its visit to your property
simply because you have postponed protecting your-
self with insurance. While you are neglecting this
important safeguard against loss, fire may destroy
everything you own.
*
If you do not have fire insurance protection, don’t
let another night pass without obtaining it. To-
morrow may be forever too late.
I if the second generation comes with-
out the first being annihilated, cotton
crops are doomed.”
Giving the most effective way of
combating them, the agent made
these recommendations: First, and
considered the better method, is.
spraying by using two pounds of lead
arsenate in 50 gallons of water per
acre. The next best method would be
to dust with calcium arsenate, six to
eight pounds per acre. The agent
explained that any farmer using tac-
tics in combatting the boll worm will
also be hitting the leaf worm since a
lighter dose will kill the leaf worm.
Fifteen pounds of calcium arsenate is
used in dusting boll worms.
“There is no immediate prospect of
rain but if it does come the leaf
worm will spread throughout the
county like wildfire. This is more
reason to begin striking back imme-
diately,” Jones declared.
