Special to the Record-Chronicle
KRUM — A lot of work is in
store for members of the Krum
Young Citizens Club this week as
final plans were made at a meet-
ing Sunday to begin work on their
planned recreation hall.
serving in most of the world’s hot
spots and coming close to death
“only twice," as he puts it.
Today at 68, Caffery looks like
only a slightly mellowed version of
the adventuree-seeking youngster
who quit Louisiana plantation life
in 1911 to roam the globe.
“Why did I join the foreign serv-
ice? I guess because I had nothing
better to do. Looking back on it
now, there's nothing better I could
have done."
In these words he recalled the
decision which led him on March
2, 1911, to forsake the riding-fish-
ing-hunting existence of a planta-
tion squire for service with the
State Department. William How-
ard Taft was President then and
Philander C. Knox was secretary
of state.
Caffery’s most recent post was
as ambassador to Egypt. But his
total service reads like a listing of
U.S. missions around the globe. He
is the dean of the U.S. corps and
has held the rank of ambassador
longer than any other—20 years.
He declined to discuss his Itesat
diplomtic achievement — helping
to settle the British-Egyptian dis-
pute over the Suez Canal bases.

John Fletcher, former Highway Patrolman with the Fort Worth
District, said last week he probably had caused more misery for
children than most any other man around.
“Used to when I'd stop a car I’d see the parents grab up a kid
outta the back seat and punch their finger down its throat."
“I'd go up to the car and the kid would be all blue and choking and
coughing. The parents would always swear they were hurrying to
. the hospital with the baby just when I pulled them over."

Remember when “the least said the better"
was true about brides’ biscuits? But those days
are gone. No longer do brides blush about their
biscuits unless because of praise from satisfied
husbands. For now, with prepared biscuit flour
at their command, brides can bake just as fluffy,
melt-in-your-mouth biscuits as mother used to
make. Remember?
What a consolation to know that everything
will be exactly as your loved one would have
wished! You can rely on us explicitly.

FRESH FISH
PHILADELPHIA UR - A custo-

seafood restaurant and asked if
the hard shell crabs were fresh.
Holdsman displayed a bandaged

Fresh enough? She bought six.

A Denton County woman was telling Sunday of a janitor who worked
several years ago in the business building at North Texas State College.
One day he stood by while two teachers were passing the time of day.
One of the instructors said, “I've got to go. My shorthand class
comes up this period.”
As she started to walk away, the janitor stopped her.
Pardon me,” he said, “but I've been hearing about shorthand a
long time—seen it on the blackboards and all. If you don’t mind,
would you speak some of it for me?"
MORAL: Education just won’t rub off. Not even for a janitor.
From one of those columns that always is solving things for dis-
traught readers:
“I go to church. I’m not had to look at, like to keep a home neat and
clean. I am friendly, good cook, have had a family, love children,
know how to be a decent wife.”
"Are you wondering why I am divorced?"
Right here we might pause and explain that, yes, we were wondering
Why this woman was divorced. »
The little lady continued:
"Well, did you ever try to live with someone drunk all the time?”
This is what struck us down. Imagine a little ‘ole lady like that
drunk all the time. No wonder her husband booted her out

Question Answers
CHICAGO-t — Parents puzzled
by their youngster’s probing ques-
tions can get help from a new
company organized to deliver the
answers to junior’s scientific pro-
blems. ‘
Millard Deutsch was inspired to
start it by his 8-year-old son’s
questions about the how’s and
why’s of things like radio, ma-
chinery, health and weather.
When his son wanted to know
about radio, pop asked a big ra-
dio company for the answers. For
weather, he consulted an instru-
ment company. He arranged to
distribute the answers so other
dads could benefit.
Five initial kits will be distri-
buted by leading department
stores. The kits deal with medi-
cal training, optical science and
instruments, basic electronics, wea-
ther and geology. Each is spon-
sored by a firm which has busi-
ness connected with the subject.
They include booklets by leading
scientists.
F
night since the members were to
help construct the building. He
plans to contact a Texas Power
and Light representative earlier
this week to get poles put up
where the workers would have
lights to work by at night.
Other duties slated for mem-
bers this week call for hauling
gravel from a pit near Lewisville
.and hauling other materials to the
construction site. Cofer said that
he wanted to have the materials
on hand to show the people of
Krum that the club had not stop-
ped its work on the building.
A committee to work with the
Krum Lions Club on the project
is also due to be appointed.
Windows and screens for the
building were ordered and all sup-
plies for the construction are due
to be gotten by the end of the
week.
President Buddy Cole cited Co-
fer as a key man in the success
of the club’s construction activi-
ties. He claimed that Cofer had
kept things moving during the bad
weather and had arranged for get-
ting the supplies.

“scram." Shorty afterward he
gave another robber the heave-ho,
