If you are one of our regular customers, we welcome
you back in 1960. If you have not tried our ginning
service in recent years, we invite you to ask any of
our old customers what they think of our service . . .
or better still, just give us a trial this year.
Said the kind old lady to the Inter-
nal Revenue clerk: “I do hope you’ll
give my money to some nice coun-
try.”
ATLANTA. — Negroes made only
three reported attempts to worship
with white persons in Atlanta
churches over the weekend, and all
failed.
Four Negroes were turned away
at First Christian, four at Westmin-
ster Presbyterian and two at Grace
Methodist on the third Sunday since
the start of a “kneel-in” campaign
fashioned along the lines of the sit-
ins.
No incidents were reported in At-
lanta. But at Savannah a policeman
was called when two Negro members
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People tried
to enter the First Baptist Church.
The officer asked them to depart
and they did.
Let us help you to look
your best on every occa-
sion. Our modern meth-
ods, expert care and long
experience give you the
kind of cleaning service to
please you.
Our modernization program over the last few years
has been for the purpose of giving our customers the
kind of ginning service they’re entitled to. We now
have one of the most modern gin plants in all North
Texas, a plant that will give you the highest type of
ginning service available anywhere.
Balancing Act
At the amusement center, the
woman in charge of the bowling con-
cession noticed a young lady bowl-
ing first with her right hand and then
with her left.
“Miss,” she said, “you will improve
your average if you just concentrate
on one hand.”
“Oh,” replied the young lady,
“I’m not worried about my average.
I’m worried about my weight. I want
to take some off this side and some
off that side.”
You may, if you like, have your doctor
phone the prescriptions to us and we’ll
deliver them to you while you wait at
the clinic.
When you see your Sherman doctor,
bring his prescriptions to us for careful
and accurate filling. We have all the
drugs prescribed by Sherman doctors.
Tardy Realization
The recent bridegroom came with
a suspicion-provoking black eye to
the preacher who had heard his vows,
and said, “I’d be obliged if you’d talk
to my woman ’bout her temper. It’s
fillin’ my days with tribulation.”
“I’m sorry to learn this, Ed,” con-
soled the parson, “but we must ac-
cept our mates for better or worse.”
“I reckon so,” replied the newly-
wed, “but this’n of mine is worse’n
I took her for.”
WASHINGTON.—The government
has made clear that it will not add to
U-2 Pilot Francis G. Powers’ trou-
bles by cutting off his pay while he
is held by the Russians or prosecut-
ing him when he returns home. State
Dept, press officer Lincoln White
said Powers would continue to re-
ceive his $30,000 a year salary while
serving a 10-year term in Russia for
espionage.
Punishment
Little Mary’s father had denied her
a pleasure that she had confidently
expected. That night, when she said
her prayers she concluded with this
petition:
“And please don’t give my papa
any more children. He don’t know
how to treat the ones he’s got now.”

If I want a mink coat or something
like that, he just says to go ahead and
get it. And when I dent a fender,
there’s never a squawk. What do
you think of that?”
“I think it’s phenomenal,” said the
lawyer. “But what is your specific
complaint?”
“My complaint?” echoed the lady.
“That should be obvious to the mean-
est intelligence. Why, it’s practically
impossible to pick a fight with him.”

“Why should it take a month to fix
my furnace? The whole world was

“Yeah, and look at it now!”
Have you heard the story of the
middle-aged Texan who went to the

an all my life and suddenly I just

There’s a one to' five chance your i selves properly,
youngster needs a major teeth
straightening job, since an estimated
one-fifth of the nation’s children
suffer from “malocclusion,” or im-
proper alignment of teeth.
A generation ago, parents of young
children with teeth which did not
meet properly were usually advised
to “let them alone and nature will
correct the situation.”
Today we know better. Malocclu-
sion is a condition to be corrected
by a dental specialist known as an
“orthodontist.” Nature by herself is
a very poor straightener of crooked
teeth.
Although the public is just now
becoming aware of the health signif-
icance of malocclusion, experience
has taught dentists that crooked
teeth contribute to decay, faulty
speech and malnutrition. One of the
worst results of malocclusion is the
psychological stress borne by a child
singled out for ridicule by his friends
because of “buck teeth.”
A child with facial deformities
such as those caused by misshapen
teeth may develop traits of indecision
and begin to doubt his ability to cope
with problems in his environment,
psychologists say.
What causes teeth to erupt irregu-
larly? Dentists agree that heredity
is probably one important cause. An-
other is persistent thumbsucking and
abnormal pressures against the jaw.
Living bone, contrary to popular
thought, is not always hard and un-
yielding. The entire jaw structure
can be molded by gentle, persistent
pressure.
In the case of thumbsucking, den-
tists believe that if the habit can be
broken before age 5, there is a good
chance the teeth may return to nor-
may position without harmful ef-
fects.
Another cause of malocclusion is
prolonged retention of baby teeth.
Permanent teeth which follow are
then prevented from arranging them-
A driver for a Los Angeles firm
had a collision. In filling out the re-
quired form he stated the accident
was unavoidable. Under remarks he
wrote: “The woman in front of me
signaled a left turn and made a left
turn.”
“Have you ever driven a car?” the
lady applicant for a license was
asked.
“Over 100,000 miles,” put in her
husband, “and never had a hand on
the wheel.”

Q.—I am the widow of a World
war II veteran, eligible under the
new pension law to collect pension
for myself and daughter. She is un-
married but over 18, although she is
going to college. I understand this
makes a difference in the age limit
and that I can continue receiving
pension on her behalf until she is 21,
because of her school attendance. Is
this so?
A.—Yes, but the school must, of
course, be one satisfactory to VA, for
instance a college or high school
where regular educational objectives
are offered and regular periods of
attendance maintained. While the
unmarried child is attending such an
approved school, pension payments
may be made for the child until age
21.
Q.—I can’t find my discharge pa-
per and I want to apply for a VA
How do I go about getting
another discharge?
A.—Write to the Department
Defense, Military Personnel Records
Center, 9700 Page Blvd., St. Louis,
Missouri. Tell them your branch of
service and your service number.
There is no charge for replacements.
Q.—I have a service-connected
disability. Can my family doctor
treat my disability and send his bill
to the VA?
A.—If he has prior approval from
VA, yes. Under law, that is neces-
Good Question
An elderly lady driving up the
highway zoomed past a state high-
way officer who was cruising along
at the correct highway speed limit.
He gave chase and when he had
brought her to a stop, he asked to see
her driver’s license.
“Young man,” she said sternly,
“how can I be expected to show you
my driver’s license when you people
keep taking it away from- me all the
time?”
TRENTON TO DROP
GRID PROGRAM
AS INTEREST LAGS
TRENTON.—The Trenton Tigers,
will not stalk the eight-man football,
jungle this fall.
W. L. Corley, superintendent of
schools in Trenton, announced Tren-
ton’s Board of Education had voted
to drop football from the athletic
program in 1960 due to the lack of
interest.
Trenton participated in
football in 1957, but dropped the
sport in 1958 due to lack of personnel,
and interest.
The Tigers participated in eight-
man football last season and finished
second in District 7 against Allen,
Collinsville, Gunter, Howe, Prosper'
and Southmayd.
Editorialists writing in papers
which come to our desk with regu-
larity pour out their sneers at what
they call “minority groups.” They
charge that our political conventions
were controlled by minority groups.
A political ad in the Plainview paper
during a 1958 political race contained
the admonition, “Don’t let honesty
and integrity in government be
plowed under by a 6-row political
tractor: 1. NAACP, 2. AFL, 3. CIO,
4. HMB, 5. TNP (the naturopaths),
6. MG (minority groups).
We would like to pose the question,
“What’s wrong with minority
groups?”
It might be pointed out: 1. That
Christians of the world are a minor-
ity group. 2. That Protestants are a
small minority group almost lost in
this world’s population. 3. That the
white race is a minority group in this
colored world. 4. That those who go
to bed each night with full stomachs
constitute a minority group in a hun-
gry world. 5. That those who speak
English are a minority group. 6.
That Baptists are a minority group
among the world’s Protestants.—
Tulia Herald.
On the other hand, when primary
teeth are lost too early, adjoining
teeth may tend to tip and “migrate,”
crowding into spaces where perma-
nent teeth should erupt.
There are different methods of
bringing teeth into proper align-
ment. Sometimes it may be neces-
sary to extract teeth to make room.
In some cases a plastic or wire ap-
pliance may be fitted to the teeth to
guide them into position by pres-
sure.
Whatever the method, it is calcu-
lated to help the youngster avoid the
fate of a “buck tooth.”
Intolerable Situation
woman went to a lawyer.
“Look,” she said, “I want a divorce
from my husband.”
“Something wrong?” the lawyer
inquired, sympathetically.
“I’ll say there is,” she said. “He
absolutely refuses to go out with his
men friends for poker, bowling or
golf. He turns his pay check over to
me every week. He brings me

Q.—I am over 18 and eligible to go
to school under the War Orphans
Education Act. If I do go to school,
I understand I cannot continue re-
ceiving the death compensation,
checks I now get from VA. Would
these checks stop automatically as
soon as I filed application for War
Orphans schooling and before
first school check came?
A.—No. Your election of
fits would not be considered
until after your first War Orphans’
school allowance had been paid to-
you, or an administrative allowance.-
had been paid to your school.
