to all to visit them and see what
has been accomplished.
Among the enterprising business
concerns located on this busy street
are The Modem Furniture Com-
pany, Lawrence' Piggy-Wiggly
Store, May Brothers Lumber Bin,
McBride Cleaners, Beeman-Cart-
wright Piano Company and Sidney
Cauthen's Phillips 66 Service Sta-
tion.

modern throughout, offers a com-
plete lien of home furnishings and
is a credit to any business section.
Its bright, modern home, 1102 La-
mar Stret, is in keeping with the
new street and its interior decora-
tion and arrangement of merchan-
dise is also designed for appeal
to the conveniences in shopping
always in mind. Mr. and Mrs.
Mason Pee and son, Tommy, are
the owners of this concern and are
associated in its operation.
New Building
Mr. and Mrs. Dwight McBride
own and operate the McBride
Cleaners, 907 Lamar street, and
here again the beautiful and mod-
ern building is a credit to the new
and modern thoroughfare. The
white stucco building with the big
"M" on the front is a sign of good
cleaning and pressing. The Mc-
Bride cleaners offers ample park-
ing space for customers but go
further than that. The firm offers
a complete pickup and delivery
service.
The May brothers, owners and
operators of the May Bros. Lum-
ber Bin, 1507 Lamar Street, are
leaders in the building and improv-
ing program in the district. In ad-
dition to operating the Lumber
Bin where all kinds of building ma-
terial is available at reasonable
prices, the brothers now have un-
der construction a new and modern
.'.tructure across the street from
their concern which will be avail-
able in the near future for a new
business. S. J. May is in chargc
of the Lumber Bin.
Other Business Houses
Lawrence's Piggly-Wiggly store,
1113 Lamar Street, is a sister store
to the downtown Piggly-Wiggly and
offers a modern, convenient shop-
ping point for the busy housewife.
The store is arranged for the con-
venience of the buyer and L. B.
Johnson, the manager, and his ef-
ficient staff are always ready to
help. The store is ev ned by J. M.
Lawrence.
The Beeman-Cartwright Piano
Company is new to Lamar Street
but not to Sweetwater. It was locat-
ed in a new and modern building,
owned by Charles Nunn, at 1301
Lamar Street, shortly before the
street was closed. Mrs. G. A. Bee-
man and Mrs. C. H. (Buck) Cart-
wright are the owners and they
have greatly expanded the facili-
ties of the store since moving to
the new location. Pianos ind or-
gans are featured; plenty of park-
ing space is a convenience.
And the newest business along
this growing street is the Sidney
Cauthen Phillips 66 Service Statioh
which only recently opened for
business. The Station is located in
the 400 block of Lamar street,
north of the reconditioned section.
It is located in a new and modern
building. especially built for the
business and features gasoline,
oils, complete lubrication services
and many other needs of the mo-
torists.

many others are happy about their
wide new street. They want every
citizen of Sweetwater to use it and
be proud of it also.

Tito Breaks
With Vatican
LONDON. Dec. 17 — (III - The
official Yugoslav news agency
Tanjug said Wednesday that Mar-
shall Tito has decided to break dip-
lomatic relations with the Vatican
and that a communique announc-
ing his action is expected later
Wednesday.
The Vatican is represented in
Belgrade by Monsignor Silvio Od-
di, charge d'affaires.
The Tanjug report came after a
bitter speech by Tito at a Yugoslav
factorv chargina that the Vatican
had "insulted Yugoslavia by pro-
claiming the car criminal" Arch-
bishop Aloysius Stepinac a cardi-
nal.
Stepinac was sentenced to pris-
on by Yugoslavia as a traitor but
was released and is living in re-
stricted residence in the provinces.
In his speech, made Tuesday.
Tito said the Vatican never would
see Stepinac hack in his post as
archbishop of Zagreb.
Stepinac, serving a 16-year pris-
on sentence, was freed a year ago.
Nevertheless relations between the
Yugoslav government and tin; Vati-
can have deteriorated.
Tito and his aides frequently
have accused the Vatican of med-
dling in Yugoslav internal afalirs
and have denied Vatican charges
that Roman Catholics are being
mistreated.
Apparently the situation came to
a head when the pope nominated
Stepinac to be a cardinal.
Norma! Rainfall
Next 30 Days?
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 —UP—
The Weather Bureau said Wednes-
day its 30-day outlook for mid-De-
cember to mid-January "calls for
I temperatures to average below
seasonal normals east cf the con-
tinental divide except for near
normal in the northern tier of
I states from the Dakotas eastward
1 to New England."
"Warmer than normal conditif s
i are indicated west of the continent-
| al divide," the bureau said.
"Precipitation is expected to ex-
ceed normal over the southern
third of the nation and along the
Atlantic Seaboard. Subnormal
amounts are indicated in the Pa-
cific Northwest and in the north-
ern plains, but near normal else-
where.
"A white Christmas is likely
over most areas north of a line
from the Texas Panhandle to Vir-
ginia."
WASHINGTON — Sensitive
school marms objected to the Dis-
triet of Columbia commissioners'
plan to give service pins to long-
time employes.
The badges would denote 40, 30.
