A lot of folks do more than just worry about such a situation. They
keep in touch by telephone. Those words you hear, “Yes, we got
home all right,” can relieve lots of anxiety.
If you’re like most of us, you sometimes have an uneasy feeling
after out-of-town company has left, especially if they have a long
drive to make on today’s crowded highways.
The trend today is toward color . . . whether in new cars, ladies*
fashions or telephones.
The selection of modern telephone sets now available is certainly
keeping step with today’s colorful living. We have phones that blend,
into an overall room scheme; others that contrast with any back-
ground; and sets that harmonize with your present color scheme.
Can you think of anything that makes you madder than running
from one end of the house to the other to answer the telephone—only
to find that there’s no one on the line?

More and more people are finding out that Long Distance is a
real bargain, especially when calls are placed after six in the eve-
ning or all day Sunday. And when you call, don’t forget to call by
number. Your call will go through twice as fast that way.
A handy extension telephone would have saved those extra steps—
and might have meant that the call- would have been completed, too.
Extension telephones, conveniently located throughout your home,
can make it possible for you to reach for the phone instead of
running to answer it.
And with the cost so small (only 3% cents a day), you can afford,
to have an additional telephone in "the kitchen, bedroom, den, or just
about any place you spend a lot of time.

Festive One—“Whash yer looking,

Policeman—“We’re looking for a
drowned man.”
Festive One — “Whash yer want
one for?”
In the view of Herbert Hoover,
“the greatest issue in America and all
mankind is the encroachments of
government to master our lives.”
That single brief sentence says
more than a hundred windy political
speeches—or tortuously phrased par-
tisan platforms designed to offer all
things to all men.
Those who look to government for
doles, for favors, for special privi-
leges, for cradle-to-the-grave secur-
ity, will find that government will
demand the death of liberty in re-
turn. Then we will have the secur-
ity of the prison.
Whitewright’s 500th telephone,
strong indication of this community’s
development in recent years, was re-
cently installed in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. George Pitman.
In observing this telephone “mile-
stone,” Jerome McKinney, of Den-
ison, District Manager for Southwest-
ern Bell Telephone Company, re-
marked that “this 500th telephone
definitely shows that Whitewright is
a steadily growing community and
has every right to take pride in its
progress in recent years.”
Mr. and Mrs. Pitman were reared
in this section, Mr. Pitman at Leon-
ard, Mrs. Pitman at Whitewright. He
is employed at Quaker Oats Com-
pany in Sherman.
Comparing the telephone here to-
day with the number in operation
just five years ago, McKinney pointed
out that the telephone has kept pace
with the city’s progress. At the close
of 1952 there were 349 telephones in
Whitewright. Today there are 500.
Shortly after the Pitman family re-
ceived the 500th telephone, an addi-
tional one was installed. Latest tel-
ephone figures show there are 502 in
service now.
“We’re confident that Whitewright
will' continue to grow in coming years
and we at Southwestern Bell hope to
continue our pleasant association
with our friends and customers here
for many years,” McKinney said.

Her Dark
Little Elsie was away from home-
visiting grandma over the weekend,
and asked if she could leave her bed-
room door open because she was;
afraid of the dark.
“Why?” asked the grandmother,
“You aren’t afraid of the dark at
home.”
“I know,” answered Elsie, “but
that’s our dark.”
A fine discerning gentle-
man confided that he had

each instance he found
they either spotted or

WASHINGTON.—A spot audit of
the 1954-1956 drouth emergency feed
program revealed that 5,874 Texas
farmers and ranchers were involved
in violations totaling $1,413,863, it
was disclosed Tuesday.
The Agriculture Department’s in-
ternal audit division field office at
Dallas filed with the Senate agricul-
ture committee a detailed breakdown
of recent audits of operations under
the emergency feed programs of the
past three years.
The committee has been investigat-
ing alleged abuses under the relief
program, whereby drouth-hit farm-
ers received a federal subsidy
grain needed to feed basic herds.
22 Percent in Violation
According to the detailed report,
$51,643,836 worth of emergency feed
certificates was issued to Texas farm-
ers under the program through June
30, 1957.
A spot check of $6,894,096 worth
of these certificates showed that 22
percent, or $1,413,869, was issued in
violation of the law, the auditors said.
Violations uncovered by the audit,
however, represented a mere 2.7 per-
cent of the total certificates issued in
the state.
According to the audit report, the
alleged violations involved 5,874
Texas farmers and consisted of 15,-
931 individual instances of violations.
Use of Script
Most of the violations involved the
use of certificates as script to pur-
chase commodities other than elig-
ible feed. Some farmers merely ap-
plied unauthorized certificates to
back feed bills, the audit report said.
Separate audits for each of the
three years showed that of 247 Texas
feed dealers whose records were
checked, only 78 showed no irregu-
larities.

Pains Her
Dinah had been having trouble
with an ulcerated tooth for some time
before she got up enough courage to
see a dentist. The moment he
touched her tooth she screamed at
the top of her lungs.
“What are you making such a rack-
et for?” demanded the doctor. Don’t
you know that I’m a painless den-
tist?”
“Well, sah,” retorted Dinah, “meb-
be yo’ is painless, but ah aint.”
Nothing works out right. In a
town where you can park as long as
you want to, you don’t want to.
Poor Memory
Near the close of a large revival
service, a worker stopped at the seat
of a man who seemed unrepentant.
“Brother,” he asked, “don’t you
want to make peace with the Lord?”
“You know,” the man replied, “if
I ever had a minute’s trouble with the
Lord, I can’t remember it.”
Those who can’t make mistakes
never make successes, but neither do
those who practice their mistakes.
DURBAN.—Maureen Morton, 18,
seeking a cure for hiccups, took a

Maureen has been hiccupping for
six months. Monday night after
seeing Albert Burne, who claims
spiritual contact with an eminent
Egyptian of 2,500 years ago, she stop-
ped for two hours. Then the hic-
cups returned.

Janie — “Mother, we learned at
Sunday School that we came from

Mother—“Yes, darling, anything

my bed and somebody is either com-

NEW YORK. — A group of 21

for the TV appearance.

suit Saturday in 59th District Court

“Surely your parents aren’t that

“No,” was the reply, “but they

Jay Calhoun, national director of

with an emphatic “No” at 'the Texas

“This is a practice which must end
if we are to gain the respect of the
people,” Mr. Calhoun said. “Churches
must pay adequate salaries, and min-
isters must not expect favors be-
cause of their profession.”
