The Gas Range with the 'Dozen Magic Helps'
A "New Freedom” Kitchen like this, with this beautiful
postwar Magic Chef as its heart, is something you can only
plan for today. But, unlike a lot of pleasant dreams, it is one
that can easily come true—we hope soon. So, as you think
ahead to your home of tomorrow, build your kitchen dreams
around Magic Chef—the gas range witha dozen magic helps
to take the work and worry out of cooking. "Magic” is the
right word for the speed and certainty of its results and the
many thoughtful conveniences it will provide.

PET PARROT DIES AT
AGE 33 YEARS PLUS;
AND IS MOUNTED
For years, Mrs. Lara Moncrief
had as pets and companions two
parrots, which talked fluently and
were much company to her and of
interest to her near neighbors and
close friends. Ten years ago
“Polly” died and Mrs. Moncrief
had a lovely mounted bird to
grace her home and thereby did
not altogether give up her pet.
“Ted” the other parrot lived on—
until last Thursday, when his gal-
lant spirit wafted away into birds’
paradise, at the advanced age of
over 33 years.
Unable to go herself, Mrs. Mon-
crief prevailed upon her good
neighbor and friend, Mrs. Will
Condron and Mrs. Leslie Brad-
shaw to take Ted’s “remains” over
to Austin where a taxidermist at
Petmeckeys did a beautiful piece
of work and now the bereaved
mistress of Polly and Ted can en-
joy their beauty of feathers and
form the rest of her life, as she
reminiscences pleasantly on their
witty mannerisms in mimicry, in
talking to her and passers-by.

NEW SWEDEN LUTHERAN
BROTHERHOOD EXTENDS
SYMPATHY
The New Sweden Lutheran
Brotherhood wishes to express
their sincere sympathy and regrets
to Lee Roy Johnson for his tragic
accident. May he look ever to
Jesus that he might have a peace
of mind that passeth all under-
standing .
Even though the Brotherhood
is yet in its infancy and no mir-
acle of material worth has yet
been performed, but the casual
observer will notice that there is
a spiritual awakening among the
members, insofar as their love
and devotion toward each other
and all mankind is concerned
that it is truly a “blessing.” For
it is good to love each other more,
yes, they love each other like a
brother. Won’t as many of you
as can, be at least a visitor at
their next meeting? And after
you have had heart to heart talks
and rub shoulders ,so to speak,
with them, you too will say, “I
want to be a more useful, more
loving friend with them.”
