Eky
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer
Once upon a time there lived
a very eccentric housewife. She
used her frying pan to fry in. She
used her carpet sweeper to clean
with. She went to the retail store
and bought new furniture to fur-
nish her home with.
If you can believe it, this house-
wife never painted her skillet ap-
ple green and used it for a silent
butler. She never disemboweled
her carpet-sweeper, hung it on
the wall and grew grape ivy in it.
She never haunted storage ware-
houses looking for an old kitchen
table, which was really, under the
paint, Chinese Chippendale.
But, this housewife died a long
time ago.
Nowadays an American house-
wife can’t look at a simple thing
like a wheelbarrow or an empty
medicine bottle without figuring
some way she can turn one or
both into home-made objects
d’art.
People used to boast about their
Hepplewhites and Sheratons. To-
day they can’t wait to swing the
conversation around to how they
turned grandmother’s washstand
into a wing-backed period peace
with hand-quilted slip-covers. If
they are really ingenious, they can
write pieces about their ad libbing
for the magazine.
Beginners usually start making
coffee tables. A coffee table is
any four-legged piece of furniture

the increased momentum of the
campaigns.
Johnson made 26 speeches and
said he believed it was the big-
gest speechmaking day in Texas
history. Peddy said he met al-
most 1,000 persons during the
day, twice as many as his usual
daily average, he estimated. Ste-
venson left Midland on a hand-
shaking swing through West Tex-
as territory and visited six county
seats.
Johnson, in a radio address at
Victoria today, said: “I am no
spendthrift. I know it takes
money to build dams, fight hoof-
and-mouth disease, build a great
air force . . . and I am not going
to try to shift the burden of do-
ing these things from the man
with a million dollar income to
the small taxpayer.”
He told reporters in his Vic-
toria hotel room last night that
he knows he is picking up votes.
Predicts Big Majority
He said he would get two out
of three votes in every county in
Southwest Texas.
Today Peddy visited Plainview
and Amarillo; Stevenson went to
Big Spring, Colorado City, Sweet-
water, Breckenridge and Fort
Worth, and Johnson pointed dis
helicopter for Edna, El Campo,
Wharton, Bay City, West Colum-
bia, Angleton and Galveston.
Pushing through the rich Per-
mian Basin oil 'area, Peddy said
he had overcome the only ob-
stacle that stood in the way of vic-
tory — becoming known to the
voters. At Odessa last night he
stated in a radio address that the
nation needs “more cornfield hon-

buudgpp"l Long a dream ... now an inspiring reality ... Lone ‘
g” Star Steel Company’s $35,000,000 plant at Daingerfield •
inaugurated for Northeast Texas a great new iron and steel
industry. This gigantic new development will contribute ,
to prosperity... to better living... to a greater Texas! .
We of the Texas Power & Light Company have a
very special pride in this new iron and steel industry of ,
Texas... because for many years, it has existed as a dream
in the mind of John W. Carpenter, president of this
Company. More than 20 years ago, Mr. Carpenter had *
nrI TP&L Company’s engineers compile a report on the possibility of
A iron and steel being produced in East Texas. Through the
l ) years, he never lost sight of the goal of producing iron from East Texas
— ore.... and never ceased working toward the achievement of that goal. *
At the outbreak of World War II, Mr. Carpenter redoubled
his efforts to establish an iron and steel industry in Texas to v
satisfy the nation’s war production needs. It was the result
of his vision and untiring efforts that Lone Star Steel Company •
was established. Mr. Carpenter was elected its first
president... is now chairman of the Board.
Everyone is familiar with Lone Star Steel’s current progress.
Regular shipments of pig iron are going to market. The East Texas
Chamber of Commerce magazine recently heralded Lone Star
Steel as "climaxing all major developments in the
industrial history of Texas” and credited John W. Carpenter with .
being the man most responsible for its establishment.
<
We salute Lone Star Steel... Texas’ greatest basic industry!
It’s never cricket, however, just
to saw off the legs of an old table
and let it go at that.
Everybody who is doing this
thing has to refinish the piece
whether it needs it or not. Ex-
perts never skin their knuckles
or get tired muscles, either. One
rule in the game is to disguise
the original purpose of the ar-
ticle as much as possible.
Currently there’s a magazine
piece about how one young couple
(young marrieds, they call them)
practically furnished an entire
apartment with an old-fashioned
dining room table they bought for
$6 (in a second-hand place, natch).
First, of course, they cut off the
legs and made a coffee table. With
the left over pieces of legs they
produced (this wasn’t too clear to
me) a VERY expensive-looking
lamp, yes, lamp. Then they took
the left-over leaves from the table
and made those into a dining
table. It might have been easier
to use the leaves for a coffee
table and eat off the dining room
table, but it wouldn’t have been
a magazine piece. They’d re-
ceived a cot for a wedding pres-
ent.
This young couple didn’t have
any suggestions on how to use old
cow bells, discarded nail kegs, or
coddled egg cups. They did, how-
ever, dye some old sheets for use
as drapes.
The other day a newspaper
asked readers for suggestions on

esty in public office.” Himself a
veteran of two wars, Peddy ac-
cused Johnson of “flashing” his
military decorations and added:
“I’ve seen a lot of swivel chair
soldiers and sailors flashing their
medals and their decorations. It’s
the little things in life that reflect
the character of a man.”
At Kermit yesterday Stevenson
spoke of “material achievements”
he had witnessed in his tour
through the booming Permian
basin area, and told an audience:
Unwholesome Ideologies
“All this material achievement
is protected by our government
and we ought to think about the
structure of that government to
see if there are any penetrations
of it. We should guard against
any penetrations by unwholesome
ideologies, which are like ter-
mites working into a wooden
building.”
Johnson again accused Peddy
and Stevenson of doing their cam-
paigning from hotel rooms. “You
do not want that kind of a do-
nothing senator.”
Roger Evans, candidate for gov-
ernor, told an audience at Cor-
pus Christi last night that Gov.
Beauford Jester “is keeping high
ad valorem taxes on the common
man while the state’s liquid gold
wealth flows untaxed out of Tex-
as and to corporate interests.” He
advocated taxes on natural gas
and processed gasoline to “pro-
vide a bonus and pension for vet-
erans, a living wage for teachers
and farm-to-market roads for
farmers.”
New Campaign Manager
A candidate for the same office,
Caso March, reported that Harry
L. Seav, former chairman of the
state Democratic executive com-
mittee, will run his campaign for
him from now on. March told re-
porters in Austin that he expects
to defeat Jester in an election run-
off and promised he will return

to Austin “to stand on the capitol l
steps and tell Beauford Jester
what I think of him when he gets
back from the national conven-
tion in Philadelphia.”
Evans tours the Rio Grande
valley today with a speech sched-
uled at Harlingen tonight. March
is visiting Conroe, Cleveland,
Kountze and Beaumont. He will
make a radio speech at Beau-
mont.
Jim Griffin, candidate for state
agri culture commissioner, de-
clared at Wichita Falls last night
that J. E. McDonald, present state
commissioner and candidate for
reelection “has sold 'out the vet-
erans of' Texas.” “McDonald,”
said Griffin, “has chosen to repre-
sent a couple of Wall Street
brokers rather than the people
of Texas who have left him in of-
fice for 18 years.”
