We are willing to forego the profit on loans for un-
necessary purchases, but we must rely on you, our cus-
tomers, to put off buying or building if it is at all pos-
sible.
The President of the United States has asked the
banks to adhere to a “Voluntary Credit Restraint Pro-
gram.”
The curbing of unnecessary credit is very important
in fighting inflation; and the President considers it the
patriotic duty of banks to restrain unnecessary credit.

From where I sit, I hope this
taught Skip that you’re better off
if you admit you don't know all an-
swers. Some grownups haven’t
learned that yet—like the ones who
are always telling other people
what’s best and what’s right and
what’s wrong. I like a temperate
glass of beer, myself, but if you
prefer buttermilk I won’t argue.
I’ve seen too many “know-it-alls’*
turn out to be wrong!

Miss Gilbert, the teacher, was
telling me how Skip Lawson almost
went to sleep in her physics class.
She noticed him nodding and—
since they were discussing elec-
tricity—said in a loud voice: “Now
maybe MR. LAWSON will explain
what electricity is.” Skip started
up, looked around wildly, and
blurted out, “Gee! I used to know,
but I forgot.”
“What a loss to science!” sighs
Miss Gilbert. “No one to this day
knows what electricity really is,
and here we have a genius who
could explain it—but forgot!”

In performing the play marriage

be your awful wedded wife?”
A porter in a hotel was asked why
rich men usually gave smaller tips
than poor men.
“Well, sir,” he answered, “the rich

rich and the poor man don’t want

25 YEARS AGO
(From The Sun September 30, 1926)
Lester Haile has closed a deal for
the Atkins farm southwest of town.
The farm contains 160 acres and is
one of the best farms in this section.
The W. J. Looney furniture store
has suspended operation.
J. M. Wright has purchased a third
interest in the Bow-Wright Drug
Company from Roscoe Pace. Mr.
Pace purchased the business several
days ago from O. G. and R. A. Bow
and Mr. Wright.

etc. Everything was clear except
one item reading ESP, $24.49.
Wearily he asked, “What does ESP
mean?”
She explained, “Error some place.”
WASHINGTON.—Production offi-
cials declared Saturday shortage of
autos, refrigerators, washing ma-
chines, radio and television sets and
other items will hit the buying pub-
lic next year.
These officials said the shortages
will extend to practically all consum-
er durable goods in the first six
months of 1952 because of the defense
drain on supplies of vital materials.
Many stores throughout the coun-
try already are experiencing trouble
in finding such products as automatic
washers and dryers, farm and home
freezers and dishwashers. These dif-
ficulties will increase in coming
months.
National Production Authority of-
ficials also said the appearance of
many products will change markedly
as part of the metal conservation
program but quality and efficiency of
the item will remain the same.
The NPA has drastically reduced
the supply of steel, copper and alum-
inum for civilian industry and one
official declared that “it’s only a mat-
ter of time before demand for con-
sumer items catches up with supply.”

Stumped
The Atlanta Citizens Journal tells
of the old pilot of a sightseeing river
boat who liked to show off before his
admiring passengers:
“Yes,” he was saying one day to a
crowd aboard, “I’ve been a pilot on
this river boat so long I know where
every stump is.” Just then the boat
struck a stump which shook it from
stem to stern. “There,” he contin-
ued, “that’s one of them now.”

side near town, picked 209 pounds of

ing paid for cotton picking, she
earned over $2.00, which is a neat
sum for a child to earn in one day.
Mrs. J. L. Blanks, aged 77, died at
her home near Whitewright Sunday.

STOCKHOLM.—You can not kiss
your girl in public in Sweden, the
Stockholm magistrate court has de-
cided, subsequently fining a young
sailor for this so-called offense.
The court ruled that osculation,
such as took place, constituted “ob-
noxious behavior, repulsive to public
morals,” and must be repressed by
all means the law commands.
The incident has profoundly shak-

“Yes, I’ve noticed you, too,” she

“Well, are you doing anything spe-

“Why, no,” she replied excitedly.
“What did you have in mind?”
“I thought maybe you’d be free to
sit with our baby while my wife and
I go to a movie.”

The merchants of Whitewright had
a big business last Saturday. Many
of them report that their sales were
larger than for any day during the
last eighteen months, due to the big
bargains they are offering.
Frank Dillard Thomas and Miss
Evelyn Scheid were married at the
home of the bride’s parents in
Whitesboro last Thursday.
Miss Myrtle Harris won five blue
ribbons at the Bells district fair held
last Friday and Saturday. She took
blue ribbons on popcorn and pump-

For the Record
One over-enthusiastic fisherman
was haled into court, charged with
catching eighteen more black bass
than the law allows. “Guilty or not
guilty?” asked the judge.
“Guilty,” the young man admitted.
“Ten dollars and costs,” announced
the judge.
The defendant paid the fine, then
asked cheerfully: “And, now, Your
Honor, may I have several typewrit-
ten copies of the court record made
to take back and show my friends?”

Boy Genius
Nine-year-old Edna was just crazy
about school, while her younger
brother was considerably less enthu-
siastic. One day the little girl sug-
gested that they play school. The lad
absolutely refused to cooperate.
However, when Edna threatened to ,
tell their mother, the boy weakened a j
bit.
“Well, all right,” he agreed grudg-
ingly, “but let’s play I’m absent.”

youngster replied. “He is the ref-

Very True •
A minister walked into the office
of a newspaper in Rocky Mount, N.
C., and said: “Mister Editor, they is
43 of my congregation which sub-
scribe fo’- yo’ paper. Do that entitle
me to have a church notice in yo*
Sunday issue?”
“Sit down and write,” said the edi-
tor.
“I thank you, sir.”
And this is the notice the minister
wrote: “Mount Memorial Baptist
Church, the Rev. John Walker, pas-
tor. Preaching morning and eve-
ning. In the promulgation of the
gospel, three books are necessary.
The Bible, the hymnbook and the
pocketbook. Come tomorrow and
bring all three.”

COLLEGE STATION. — Many
homemaker has gone through frantic
moments when suddenly the home
freezer failed to operate or when the
power remained off for a long time.
Foods and nutrition specialists with
the A. & M. College Extension Serv-
ice suggest that dry ice be placed in-
side the freezer until the service man
arrives or the power is turned on
again. One or more 50-pound cakes
of ice will hold the temperature to
about 15 degrees for 48 hours. If
dry ice cannot be obtained, do not
open the freezer.
Saw or chip the dry ice into pieces
and divide them among the compart-
ments, placing the dry ice on a board
or heavy cardboard set directly on
the packages. Wrap quilts, blankets
or other coverings around the freezer
to retard a warm-up, but do not
cover the air circulation openings
around the compressor unit.
If the packages of food have to be
refrozen, the specialists advise doing
it as quickly as possible. Take the
food to a commercial cold storage or
locker plant and get it down to zero
degrees Fahrenheit. When it is re-
turned to the home freezer, see that
the packages contact the sides or
coils, with air circulation to expedite
the freezing.
