Repairing of Whitewright’s several
miles of blacktop streets during the
past ten days has caused much fa-
vorable comment on the part of the
people.
* Some of the streets were getting in
bad shape, and everybody knew that
another winter of freezing rains
would just about ruin the streets.
Whitewright has a tremendous in-
vestment in these streets, acquired
over a period of years undei' the ad-
ministration of former Mayor F. M.
Echols, much of the work dating back
to WPA days.
To have let them ruin for lack of
needed repair work would have been
indefensible.

WASHINGTON. — A word from
President Truman is making a best
seller out of a pamphet on govern-
ment figures.
In a speech dedicating the new
General Accounting Office Building
recently, Mr. Truman said citizens
would profit by reading a .summary
of the federal budget, entitled “The
Budget in Brief.”
The Government Printing Office
which retails the pamphlet for 20
cents, reported it has been at the top
of the office sales list ever since. A
spokesman estimated total sales
might reach 15,000.

Advertising and publicity people
who work in the field of promotion
are not always so definite in their
decisions or so systematic in their
operation as accountants, architects
and many business men of executive
ability.
But advertising people do make a
definite contribution to the business
life of the community in that they
are constantly churning up activity,
always engaged in urging people to
do things, and always turning up on
the side of activity, improvement and
progress.
Without advertising people there
would be a lot less going on in the
world and this would mean a corre-
sponging decrease in the amount of
records to be kept, things to be made,
and goods and ideas to be sold.

Why It’s Called “Service”
When the oil industry calls its re-
tail outlets “service stations” it real-
ly means just that. Just how much
service is given can be seen in the
report by one statistically-minded
oil company that in 1950 its dealers
wiped 129,024,700 windshields,
checked 123,863,700 tires, filled 78,-
834,300 radiators and checked 47,-
739,100 batteries—all for free.
CHICAGO.—A 10-year survey has;
disclosed that syphilis ranked first
> among the 10 leading causes of blind-
ness among the indigents in Ohio.
Findings of the survey, published,
in the Journal of the American Med-
ical Assn., were presented by Dr.
, chief of the
along the, Ohio health department’s division of
communicable diseases, and James R..
Donohue of the U. S. Public. Health
Service.
During the 10 years from 1939
through 1948, a total of 6442 persons
were reclared legally blind in Ohio-
upon application for financial aid.
Of this total, the survey
4,015 became blind from
mined causes.
Of the 2,427 persons whose causes-
of blindness were known, 507 or 20.9
percent lost their sight because of
syphilis, the study showed.
Causes of prenatal origin accounted
for 502 cases of blindness, diabetes;
ranked third with 331 cases, injury
fourth with 326 and vascular diseases
fifth with 147.
The report said many of the cases;
in which the cause of blindness was-
undetermined or attibuted to pre-
natal origin “undoubtedly were also-
blinded by syphilis.”
LONDON. — “Thou shalt commit
adultery.” That’s what the Bible
says. You can read it for yourself
if you borrow a Bible from Ralph
Ford, a British business man who is
putting on display his 200 Bibles, be-
lieved to be the finest private collec-
tion of English Bibles.
The Bible with the strange order
was produced in London in 1631. The
printer, Robert Barker, ran off five
copies before he noticed he had
omitted “not” from the Seventh Com-
mandment. He sold the books any-
way and the edition soon became
known as the “Wicked Bible.” An
indignant court fined the printer 300
pounds, equal to at least $5,000 to-
day, and decreed the fine should be
used to establish a university print-
ing shop to produce Bibles—correctly
worded Bibles.
Misprints were apparently common
in those days. The collector has a i
Bible produced a year earlier, in
1630, known as the Bishop’s Bible.
On one of its 18 inch long, 14 inch
wide pages you can read: “The right-
eous shall be punished.”
The Bible was first translated from
Latin by John Wycliffe, a Londoner, I
in 1380. And a Wycliffe Bible, writ-
ten by hand for use primarily in vil-
lage church or market, is in the col-
lection. So is a Bible from the press
of William Caxton, the first English-
man to print the Bible a century aft-
er Wycliffe finished his translation.
English kings began issuing “ap-
proved versions” of the Bible more
than 400 years ago. The collection’s
first royally approved Bible carries
on its cover in big, gold letters, the
announcement: “Set forth with the
king’s most gracious license.” The
king was Henry VIII, more famed for
his six wives.
A hundred years later, under pres-
sure from Puritans, King James I
authorized a new version of the Eng-
lish Bible. The James version is still
the approved one for the Church of
England. The first King James edi-
tion was printed in 1611. Ford found
his first edition of the James Bible
under a pile of rags and bones in a
Scottish junk shop.
The biggest of Ford’s Bibles is 27
inches long, 18 inches wide and nine
inches thick. It was printed in 1717
and can be read at a distance of two
yards. Ford also has six miniature
copies of the New Testament. The
smallest is a half an inch long. All
six fit easily into the cup of a spoon.
To show how the Bible was first
written, Ford has two scrolls, both in
Hebrew. One scroll, about 30 years
old, contains the Book of Esther. The
other, handwritten with a goose quill
on 56 stag hides joined together with
sheep’s gut into a scroll 145 feet
long, contains the Books of Genesis,
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and
Deuteronomy. It is about 400 years
old.
Some of the Bibles record family
histories. In a Geneva New Testa-
ment of 1594, a Briton inscribed an
epitaph to his wife. He wrote:
“Here lieth the body of Nell Batch-
elor, who was lately shroven
(buried),
“She was well skilled in pies, pud-
dings, and tarts and knew every use
of ttye oven.
“When she lived long enough she
made her last puff, a puff by her hus-
band much praised.
“But here she doth lie to make a
dirty pie, in hopes that her crust will
be raised.”
ODEM.—Saved by a rat.
That’s the way Arthur Bickham,
Odem farmer, describes it.
At daybreak he walked into his
farm shop. In the semi-darkness he
stepped on a huge rattlesnake. The
snake rattled furiously.
Bickham jumped out the door.
Then he calmed down enough to
wonder why the snake hadn’t bitten
him.
He says he peered cautiously in-
side. The snake had a large rat in its
mouth and had almost swallowed it.
By Dr. J. B. Warren
Although gallstones are present in
many men and women they cause no-
symptoms. It is believed that about
only one in 20 with gallstones suffers
with any symptoms.
Outstanding physicians and sur-
geons state that unless gallstones
cause severe pain no operation is
necessary. In fact the pain that is
present may be due to nervousness,
emotional strain, a chronic appendix
or constipation. By treating these
other conditions present and. using a
diet not too rich in fat and starch,
symptoms may be relieved and no
operation is necessary.

i DALLAS.—“Guys and Dolls,” the
■ fabulous musical that already has
I won all of Broadway’s major awards
I for 1950-51, is “out for” the box of-
fice record set by “South Pacific”
during the 1950 State Fair. Audito-
rium attraction for State Fair visi-
tors, already, through advance ticket
sales, is threatening to topple the na-
tional box office record set by its
predecessor during the State Fair
run.
In New York, the musical based on
Damon Runyon’s “The Idyll of Sarah
Brown,” walked away with the New
York Drama Critics Award, Antoin-
ette Perry Award, Aegis Theatre
Club Award, Outer Circle Critics
Award and Show of the Month
Award.
The national company will visit the
Texas State Fair for 24 perform-
ances, Oct. 6-21. It previously has
been seen only in San Francisco and
Los Angeles. From Dallas the com-
pany goes to Chicago. Starring in
the touring company are Allan Jones,
Jeanne Bal, Julie Oshins, Pamela
Britton and “Slapsie Maxie” Rosen-
bloom.
Tickets are still available for all
performances which will be nightly
and with matinees on Thursdays,
and Sundays. Prices, including tax
and admission to the Fair Grounds,
are $4.90, $4.30, $4, $2.80, $2.20 and
$1.30. The box office is 1203 Elm
Street, Dallas.
and slicing potatoes. By mistake a
slice fell into the fat. T
she was able to swim it out, the slice
was crisp and brown.
At that moment George Crum came
by, happened to put the brown mor- ancj one-fourth inches long,
sei in his mouth, and ate it. He said - - -
it was good and told Aunt Kate to
make some more. She did.
Travelers who stayed at Moon’s
Place at Saratoga and ate ‘ Aunt
Kate’s deep-fat fried potato slices
enjoyed them. Men went home and
told their wives about them. The
chips became popular enough to be
given a name—Saratoga Chips. They
appear under that name as a recipe
in the most famous cook book of
those days. The White House Cook
Book of 1887 read:
“Peel good-sized potatoes and slice
them as evenly as possible. Drop
them into ice water; have a kettle of
very hot lard, as for cakes; put a few
at a time into a towel and shake them
to dry the moisture out of them, and
then drop them into the boiling lard.
Stir them occasionally, and when
light brown take them out with a
skimmer, and they will be crisp and
not greasy.”

slung body is about two and one-
fourth inches long. It has two folded
pinchers in front, eight legs and a
tail two inches long.
The antennae-like tail, normally
extending upward at an angle, ap-
parently picks up sound. The many-
jointed antennae has whorls of hair at
the joints, possibly for insulation. Its
long, jointed legs are very sensitive
to touch.
The Director of Departmetal Pub-
lications, who has the speciman in a
large jar, reports that it is voracious
eater. It has been fed grasshoppers,
crickets, cockroaches and flies.
The vinegaroon is strictly a dry
area dweller and has no apparent use
for water. It seems to get the little
liquid it needs from its victims.
