THE MINEOLA MONITOR
JANUARY
Safe Driving
Good Resolve
For New Year
"Highway accident tolls over
the Ohristmas week-end point
to the desirability of every one
cX the millions of American
motorists putting 'I will drive
more carefully during 1937' at
the head of their list of New
Year's resolutions," says W. R.
Bam ford, Director of Service of
the Dodge Division of the Chry-
sler Corporation.
"Almost without excepton,
and notwithstanding the inten-
se anti-accident propaganda
jducted through hundreds of
j.nizations during the past
ir, word comes from the met-
ipolitan centers o!f the coun-
|ry of increased numbers of
ffic mishaps during the
Christmas week-end holiday.
'This fact should cause seri-
reflection—and then some
ictical precautionary action—
the part of every man and
Sjman car driver in the coun-
"First there should be a
ree-po£nt 'safety check-uip'
of brakes, tires and wind-
S~M wipers—i{hree comipon-
of every car that are in-
tended to afford greater saifety,
but which should be carefully
checked at frequent intervals,
particularly during the winter
months, to insure that they are
in proper condition to fulfill
ther accident-prevention func-
tions.
"But of equal importance is
the determination of every in-
dividual driver to do .his own
level best during 1937 to drive
more carefully and with greater
consideration for 'the other fel-
low' for, statistics prove con-
clusively, it is the lack of such
determination or want of com-
mon consideration for other
users of the streets and high-
ways that constitute, between
them, the most prolific contri-
buting causes of automobile ac-
cidents.
"Could there be a better sin-
gle resoluton for the heading
of the New Year's list of good
resolves?"
Joyce Speights, student in
the Baylor School of Nursing
has returned to Dallas after a
holiday visit with homefolks.
James Hartsfield has returned
to Austin where he is an honor
student in the University of
Texas.
Bud Moody has returned to
Commerce to re-enter ETSTC.
Penny Pitchers Had
A Tough Time in Old
Days, Wells Reveals
Illegal and punishable by law
"to steal anything from a
neighbor without that neigh-
bor's consent or to pitch pennies
or play marbles for 'keeps'—and
a criminal offense "for any
person, male or ifemale, brown
or white, married or single, or
any derivation cr degree there-
of to wade, paddle, swim, dive
or duck into the water of any
irrigation ditch within the city
limits."
Thus did the first mayor of
El Paso undertake to "clean up"
what, is now one of the South-
west's greatest cties, the history
and attractons of which Car-
ve th Wells will describe at 6:30
Saturday night over station
WFAA, Dallas, in the second of
the new series of "Exploring
America with Conoco and Car-
veth Wells" radio programs'
sponsored by Continental Oil
Company.
"El Paso is a metropolis of
sunshine and health," says the
internationally known explorer,
"since it can boast of 331 days
of sunshine annually and a
health-giving altitude of 4,000
feet. It is a land of January
shirt-sleeve goK. Yet within
a three-hour drive to the snow-
blanketed timberland of the
high Sacramentos at Cloudcroft,
you can use your ski, toboggans
and snowshoes."
Furthermore, Wells declares,
El paso serves as excellent
headquarters for side trips to
nearby Carlsbad Cavern, White
Sands at Almagorda, the old
mssions of Ysleta and Socorro
east of El Paso, the remarkable
salt lakes known as Crow Flats
northeast of the city, and to
Juarez, Mexico.
RUSK SOLON'S BILL
WILL SEEK SAFETY
IN DANGEROUS JOBS
Senator Joe Hill of Hender-
son, chairman of the oil inves-
tigation committee, said yester-
day he would introduce a "safe-
ty bill" seeking to guard those
engaged in hazardous occupa-
tions, in the legislature next
week.
"Our laws governing the
safety of men working around
machinery are wholly inade-
quate," Hill said. "We have no
boiler-inspection law, and there
are scores of men killed each
year due to avoidable explo-
sions."

Work Shows Gains
Throughout Year
Home demonstration work in
Wood county has been carried
on in sixteen organized women's
clubs with an enrollment of 350
members and through thirteen
Girls' 4-H Clubs with an enroll-
ment of 275 members.
Through the twelve meetings

The women carried a food
preservation demonstration in
their clubs, as a means of irn-
proving the quality of canned
products, specializing on brin-
ing cucumbers and making
kraut. As a result 11000 quarts
of cucumbers were brined and
made into pickles and 3441 qts.
of kraut were made. The value
of these products is $3266.
The 625 club women and
girls of the county have pre-
served 99034 quarts of fruits,
vegetables, pickles, kraut, and
meats as well as 17480 quarts
of jellies and preserves this
year. These are valued at $14,-
415.30.
They have dried, cured, and
stored 92,638 pounds of vege-
tables and fruits, 66,361 pounds
of cured meats, and 3138 pounds
of nuts. In addition to these
products all have had suf-
ficient fresh vegetables during
the part of the year that they
could be grown.
As a result of the clc
demonstration the worn©
girls have made at hor
garments at a value of,
Ninety-five clothes
