BRIDE AND GROOM
ENJOY NEW METHOD
OF HOME OPERATION
June 4 Tin- month traditionally
dedicated to Bi ides and Grooms— th-.
j month when congratulations ana
wishes for joy and happiness are
heaped upon those who begin life
I together with a home of their own.
Today's Bride and Groom begin-
| r.ing their niai lieu life can extend
! thi-ii pleasures and enjoy a home with
I modern electric appliances never
dreamed of a few score years ag >.
The home of today's Bride and Groom
can be one in which low-cost electrl.
city eliminates drudgery economical-
ly, and gives the homemaker a great
er freedom for pleasures. A home of
today operated with labor-saving and
comfort-pi uducing appliances adds to
the assurance of a happier future.
No June Bride of 1041 coul(j be
more thrilled than to have a home
with an electric kitchen. Where lab-
orious houis over a hot stove were
once a prerequisite of housework, the
homemaker with a modern electric
range can place her food in an elec-
tric oven, set the automatic timer and
leave it to go about her other duties
or her pleasures, cone back at the
time she wants to serve the meal
and take it out of the oven, done to
a turn at just the minute she wants it
ready.
In addition to this, electric cooking,
with its even 'heat, enables the cook-
ing of less expensive meats to the
tenderness of the best cuts. Electric
cooking during tin; summer months
eliminates from the kitchen the op-
pressive heat common to other types
of ranges. The electric range focuses
its heat on the cooking vessel.
So completely is heat controlled,
•that while on one side of the stove
food may be cooking, on the other
side a vase of flowers can sit, un-
wilted from the heat of cooking.
A convenient long-term purchase
plan may Ik* arranged through EH FA
approved appliance deale *s enabling
today's or yesterday's bride and
groom to purchase modern appliances
to be used with low-cost electricity
available to homemr.kers in this sec-
tion

JOHNSON RALLY—
(Continued from page I)
alone included more than 2()0 mem-
bers and that a teaming attendance
for the rally was assured.
Largest delegation from out of
town has been promised by San Mar-
cos, Lyndon Johnson's old school
town, with a caravan of at least 100
women signifying their intention of
coming here for the mass testimon-
ial service.
From Brenham comes the word
that nearly 100 will join in a cross-
country parade in honor of the man
they expect to see the next junior
senator from Texas. Invitations have
gone out to Waco and 'Sen Antonio,
and women's organizations backing
Johnson in both of these cities—
though joutside his dista-ict— have
shown their interest and assured the
Austin women of their cooperation
and attendance. Burnet, 'Elgin, Man-
or and other towns have written in
their wholehearted acceptance of the
invitation.
The rally will be held in the Cap-
itol Ballroom of the Stephen F. Aus-
tin Hotel, beginning at 2 o'clock.
First on the program after the op-
ening entertainment will be A. J.
Wirtz, campaign director who relin-
quished his federal post in Washing-
ton as assistant to the secretary of
the interior to come to Austin to
throw his influence and experience be
hind Johnson's candidacy. Wirtz, too,
is a friend of the President. He, it
is planned, will make the opening
speech.
Shortly after Wirtz will com- lo n
Miller, mayor of Austin, who w.ii
present another aspect of Johnson's
candidacy. Then in the person of Miss
Billie Murray, Waco attorney and in-
structor in the Baylor University
School of Law will come the rally
keynote.
There is one paramount issue in
this race," Miss Murray says. "Di
we approve Roosevelt's foreign policy
and want a man in the Senate tn
fight for it—or don't we? I do. And
that's why I'm for Lyndon Johnson.
AH in attendance will be given op-
portunity to respond to those ad
dresses for their towns.
Mrs. Brooks said the Austin wo-
men, after watching prospects for
their project grow, had adopted the
slogan, "The Bigger the Rally, the
Better the Tally." They were speak-
ing of the vote for Johnson, no
doubt.
Like any wisb buyer, you'll want
top allowance on your present
car—top value in the new!
A good man to see on both
counts is your Ford dealer. He's
eager to talk trade. And he has one
of the really great new car buys
of all time!
Passenger room of the '41 Ford
is greater than that of any com-
parable car. Its soft, quiet ride,
entirely new this yeaT, is a real
sensation. It is economical, too—

WALNUT CREEK
Walnut Creek, June 4—Everyone
is sure proud of the few sun shiny
days we have had. All the farmers
and public workers are really using
them. Here it is June and very little
corn around here in tassels. Cotton
is very small, some folks are just
now getting it planted, while lot*
of others that have it up" but not
chopped out. So it seems as if this
will be a late year with everyone,
but guess its always better late than
never.
