No numb thumbs! With warmer
weather, you'll have Ijigtr quantities
ol vegetables and fruits to peel. So,
when paring, stick a piece of adhesive
tape over tne ball of your thumb. It
will prevent knife cuts.
Even an old favorite takes on new
interest in a spicy variation. Take 1
cup of real mayonnaise and mix in J
tablespoons of finely chopped chutney
and you'll see what we mean. It's deli-
cious with meat salads.

"It's So Nice To Have A Man
Around The House" - that's a clever
tune. But if you can't sing it surely
you've had the same thought when
you couldn't get a screw in tne kitchen
cabinet. The next time turn the screw
in a cake of soap first then it will go
into the wood a lot easier.

With'so many shoes this season just
mere whisps of straps, you're probably
wondering how you'll ever give 'em the
ule sliinola. There's a trick to it, but
you don't have to be Houdini to do it.
just stuff tissue paper or cloth under
the web of straps and polish as usual.

If you're a "new" cook, or even a
not so new one, here's a general meat-
buying rule, allow at least 14 pound of
boneless cuts for each serving and Mi
pound for cuts containing some bone.
SETS NEW RECORD
The South West area leads the
nation in the buying of electric
appliances for all-electric kitchens
and home laundries, with purchases
327- greater than the record for
any previous six-months period.
This is one-third more than the.
national average of 24% buying
increase, according to figures re-
leased by James J. Nance, presi-
dent, Hotpoint, Inc., the leading
producers of electric kitchens,
whose sales results were used in
the tabulations.
The official credited the gains to
low service rates of electric utility
companies and increased aggressive
advertising and sales efforts by
dealers. He said that the South
West area is the nation's bright
spot economically.
"America has reached a new all-
time high plateau in its standard
of living, spearheaded by electrical
living," the industrialist asserted.
He recently announced the round-
ing out of his company's expansion
program which included seven new
manufacturing plants to produce
all major electric kitchen and laun-
dry appliances for the home, and
a modern new plant for cooking
equipment for schools, churches,
hospitals, and restaurants. A mod-
ern new plant to increase capacity
for refrigerators is scheduled for
completion soon. These new facili-
ties have been proven-in, are oper-
ating, and in three years have
brought the company leadership as
kitchen producers.

SENSATIONAL SABLE—The highest producing cow In the nation.
Orrland Signal Vol. Sable, will be a featured livestock attraction at
the 1950 State Fair of Texas Mid-Century Exposition, Oct. 7-22. The
cow, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Chester Elliff, Tulia, Texas, will he ex-
hibited at the Ail-American Jersey Show during the Fair. During a
one-year period, Sable produced 9,068 quarts of milk that tested 6.3
per cent butterfat.
Colonel Oscar B. Abbott, chief
of the Texas Military District,
this week urged company grade
officers of the Army Organized
Reserve Corps to volunteer fov
extended active duty and thus re-
duce the number that would have
to be ordered to duty without their
consent.
Texas has been given a quota
of 439 company grade officers of
the combat and service branches,
or approximately 46 per cent of
the total Fourth Army quota of
captains and lieutenants. Follow-
ing is a breakdown of the number
of officers needed to fill the Texas
requirements:
Infantry, 47 captains, 155 lieu-
tenants; Armored, 7 captains, 51
lieutenants; Artillery, 8 captains,
35 lieutenants; Coast Artillery,
S captains, 4 lieutenants; Corps of
Engineers; 13 captains and 27
lieutenants. In the service
branches, which include Military
Police, Adjutant General Corps,
Ordnance, Quartermaster, Signal
Corps, etc., 18 captains and 74
lieutenants will be required, it
is explained by Colonel Abbott.
Current age-in-grade and phys-
ical requirements must be met by
the officers of the arms and serv-
ices. In the Combat Arms in-
cluding Engineers, Signal Infant-
ry, Armored, Field Artillery and
Coast Artillery, the age limit for
second lieutenants is 30, for first
lieutenants, 35, and for captains,
41. In the services including
Adjuta.nt General, Chemical, Mil-
itary Police, Ordnance, Quarter-
master, Judge Advocate General,
Finance, Army Security Agency,
Intelligence, and special Services,
the age limit for second lieuten-
ants is 38, for first lieutenants,
41, and for captains, 45. Over
age officers in the Combat Arms
may be ordered to duty in Serv-
ice branches.
All officers of the Reserve are
eligible for extended active duty
whether members of the Active or
inactive sections provided they
meet the age and physical re-
quirements. This includes mem-
bers of Reserve units that have
not been alerted. Applications
received in excess of the require-
ments for one state may be util-
ized to reduce the number called
called from another state.
All officers selected will be or-
dered to the nearest Army Med-
ical Installation for physical ex-
aminations. If found physical-
ly fit and ordered to active duty,
they will be given 21 days to set-
tle private affairs, unless willing
to report sooner. It is contem-
plated for first, one-third of the
total group will report to their
assignments by September 22nd,
two-thirds by September 29, and
all by October 6.
"Texas has a large number of
Reserve Officers and should be
able to fill this quota quickly and
easily with volunteer applicants,"
Colonel Abbott stated.
Peninsula literally means "al-
most an island."

Springfield, Mass., in 1891.

ed, yield at once, and save your-

Pink Bollworm In
Texas Declared at
Alarming Increase
COLLEGE STATION—An al-
arming increase in pink bollworm
population in South Texas cotton
fields is reported by L.|F. Curl,
leader of the divisiofi of pink
bollworm control for the U.S. Det-
partment of Agriculture.
Serious losses have resulted
from the insect in many cotton
fields in Nueces and Cameron
counties. Damage up to ten and
fifteen per c ent is reported in a
number of fields, and in some,
damage estimtes run as high as
30 to 40 per cent.
Pink bollwovms were found in
first examinations of gin trash in
Bexar, Caldwell, Gonzales, Dewitt
and Guadalupe counties. Curl
says that finding pink bollworms
in these counties this early in the
season indicates a rather general
infestation of the area. Since these
counties are on the northern limit
of pink bollworm infestation in
South Texas, Curl says that there
is a strong possibility that the
worms will be found in such coun-
ties as Lavaca, Colorado, Fayette,
Bastrop, Travis, and perhaps oth-
ers further from presently known
infested areas.
Curl urges growers to take any
insect with which they are not fa-
miliar to their county agent and
ask thai he place it in a preserva-
tive and send it to the Divisioi of
Bollworm Control, P. O. box 2719
San Antonio, Texas for identifica-
tion.
Curl says that a pink bollworm
larvae, upon completion of feed-
ing, cuts an almost perfectly
round hole in the outer covering
of a green boll from which it
makes its escape for the inside of
the boll.
He warns farmers to check the
cotton sacks of arriving pickers
from the South Texas areas for
seed cotton or cotton bolls and to
burn any material found in tb;
sacks immediately.
Thousands of pickers have al-
teady been checked by road pa-
trols set up on highways leading
from South Texas, and pink boll-
worms were found in the confis-
cated seed cotton and cotton bolls.
Three living pink bollworms were
found in a single partly opened
boll taken from a mechanical cot-
ton picker by inspectors at one of
the check stations.
Curl points out that the South
Texas cotton industry is fully
aware of the serious situation and
is taking vigorous steps to reme-
dy it. County and local com-?
!inittec.; organized to promote early
stalk destruction are getting excel-
lent results.

TEXAS FREEDOM CHIEF
♦Lieut. General Preston A. Weath-
erred, Dallas, prominent attorney
of the Southwest and retired former
commander of the 36th Infantry Di-
vision, Texas National Guard, has
been appointed Texas State Chair-
man of the Crusade For Freedom by
General Lucius D. Clay, national
chairman of the movement.
General Weatherred said that he
was pleased to take the post of di-
n'ctinf* the Texas program for the
Crusade For Freedom, which will
include an intensive nation-wide, six
weeks campaign in September and
October. Plans are being made now
for a strong Texas executive com-
mittee to lead the campaign in every
section of the state.
Designed to halt communism and
to save freedom, the movement will
enroll millions of Americans on
"Freedom Scrolls," to be perma-
nently enshrined in the base of a
10-ton, 8-foot high "Freedom Bell"
to be erected in Berlin next October,
it also will support a vigorous and
continuous series of radio programs
to pierce the Iron Curtain of Com-
munistic Russia and its satellite
countries.
General Dwight D. Eisenhower
and General Clay, who w«is Ameri
can Military Governor <>f Germany
during the Berlin airlift, together
with a group of outstanding busi-
ness, professional and civic leaders
of the nation, are heading the Na-
tional Committee For A Free Eu-
rope, the organization sponsoring
the Crusade.
HOLLYWOOD — Even movie

That's why she oft'times finds
It easier to do her hair at home
with Lady Ellen Pin Curl Clips
than to go to a beauty parlor. Not
only that, but she finds that
in curl clips also do the hair of
ner two daughters, Sharon. 5, and
Kelly, 10 months, beautifully.
"I do the hair of my children and
myself in half the time with pin
curl clips," said MiSs Knox, "and
1 know that there are countless
either mothers in America who will
appreciate those extra minutes they
can save."
Here's another tip for the

type of service.
The other 2,000 new cars will
have all the modern improvements
previously built into other Pacific
Fruit Express company's postwar
cars including air-circulating fans
half-stage icing grates for econ-
omy where full icing is not need-
ed, sidewall flues, and in addition
will have larger door openings,
employing sliding doors, and will
be equipped with steel slatted in-
stead of wooden floor racks.
The new cars will be built in
the Pacific Fruit Express com-
pany's shops at Los Angeles anil
at Colton as soon as materials are
available, with first of the new
units scheduled to go into service
some time before the middle of
next year, according to K. V.
Plummer, vice president and fun-
eral manager of Pacific Fruit Ex-
press company.
Since end of World War II, the
Pacific Fruit Express company has
received 9,000 new * refrigerator
cars and has reconditioned or giv-
en general repairs to more than
12,000 others. It built 3,000 of
the new cars in 1949 and is giving
general repairs to almost 4,000
cars in 1950, Mr. Plummer said.
Oft
Enemies, Says Dr.
A puny little paarsite no more
than a quarter inch long when it's
full grown can turn a champion
weight lifter into an anemic cream
puff.
Even while it's still a baby, this
pernicious parasite can make a
wheezing weakling out of a top
field hand, and turn a stout boy's
muscles to the texture of soft
butter.
It's a hookworm.
State Health Officer Geo. W.
Cox, with understandable disdain,
puts the finger on it as the cause
of so-called toe itch, dew itch,
ground itch and summer scratch.
Says he: "All these itches are
provincial ways of saying hook-
worm."
Dr. Cox says his department has
been waging a ten-year battle
against hookworms in Texas, and
that deep inroads have been made
into its natural habitat, especially
in eastern and southern sections.
Health experts know what it is
and how it gets into the human
body, but the big job is convinc-
ing people that they ought to do
something about it.
Hookworms live a double life,
the health official says, half in
the intestines of a human being
and half in the soil around an op-
en pit privy. The female lays
eggs while attached to the intes-
tine.
Eggs pass from the b6dy, and
hatch within 24 hours. Then the
young worm lies in wait for the
first unsuspecting barefoot person,
—usually a youngster—to come
by. It pierces the foot skin and
slowly inches its way deeper and
deeper into the body until it
reaches the intestinal tract where
the cycle starts again.
"It is a disease," Dr. Cox says,
that stunts the growth of children,
causes skin discoloration, loss of
weight and anemia." Severe infes-
tations often cause a morbid crav-
ing for such things as chalk or
dirt, he adds.
But it's easy enough to control
—merely by building properly de-
signed sanitary pit privies or sep-
tic tanks. That, and wearing
shoes.
A good many children in various
rural sections have had light in-
festations all their lives, and have
never known what it means to
feel entirely well.
To Fruit Express
Pacific Fruit Express Company
will add another 2,100 refrigerat-
or cars to its present fleet of more
than 3,8,000 cars, already the
world's largest, it was announced
this week by Pacific Fruit Express
Company's joint owners, the Sou-
thern Pacific and .Union Pacific
railroads. The new acquisition
will raise to approximately $125,-
000,000 the cost of Pacific Fruit
Express Company's fleet moderni-
zation and general repair program
since World War II, for better
service to growers and shippers of
perishable foods, it was stated.
Included in the newest cars will
be 100 heavily insulated super-
giant 50-foot cars for use in mov-
ing the steadily increasing traffic
in frozen foods. The Pacific Fruit
Express company already has 414
cars especially designed for this
