Picnic Recipe Contest
Off To Good Start
"When i8 a picnic not a picnic?
is being riddled1 by Texas house-
i wives everywhere. At least it
started when Safeway Stores, in
i cooperation with Samuels & Co.,
I meat packers of Dallas, announc-
I ed their contest for "Your Favo-
rite Texas Picnic Recipe." The
answer to the riddle, of course, is
"when it's meat". The contest, be-
ing staged to find the best recipe
for preparing a picnic has drawn
a tremendous response but at the
same time, threw an interesting

sidelight on the term "picnic". As
a result, a number of contestants
have entered suggestions for a
menu for an outdoor picnic.
To quote Mr. Samuel Rosenthal,
president of the Samuels Packing
Co., "the ham, so-called, is the
hind quarter of the hog. Because
of tho meat formation, like the
hind quarter of a beef, it enjoys
the most attention and demands
the highest price. The "Picnic",
which is the forequarter, is smal-
ler than the ham but given the
same attention to sugar curing,
smoking and seasoning, can prove j
just as delectable as its more gla- I
morous sister. An excellent com- \
plement to eggs for breakfast, j
they are at their beBt at dinner
with vegetable dishes. Given the i
same care in the kitchen, a picnic |
will come to the table just as de-
licious and tender as a ham. Be-1
ing smaller than a ham, it is
easier to handle and to the small
family, that is important. And
because of its lesser demand, the
picnic enjoys an important diffe-
rence in price that means a great
deal when the family wants ham
but the budget goes against it,
especially today when meat prices
are what they are. Our primary
purpose in this contest is to ac-
quaint the housewife with the real
bargain to be had in buying pic-
nics."
In addition to a cash prize of
.$250 for the best recipe, the spon-
sors will crown the winner "Pic-
nic Recipe Queen For A Day"
when she is brought to Dallas as
their guest. Details of the contest
are available at all Safeway
Stores.

New in Siyle — New in Sfrucfare — New in Power—New in Thrift—
Potent in Price Appeal-It's the 1951 BUICK SPECIAL!
Here is good news for folks with a
shrewd eye for what their dollars
will buy.
Here is a tidy traveler that defies the upward
trend of costs—proudly wears a 1951 price
tag like that which zoomed last year's
Special into popularity so great that it put
a crimp in "the low-priced three."
Take our word for it, this is every inch and
ounce a Buick—Buick-featured, Buick-
designed, Buick-built from the ground up—
but literally the newest thing on wheels.
The sturdy and ample body is new. The
high-strength frame is new. The power is
new to the Special, which now has the
thrifty F-263 engine that first made its name
in the Super, and here delivers 120 horse-
Wbeu better automobiles are built
BUICK will build them
power with standard transmission—128
with Dynaflow Drive.*
It's a Buick with less weight and more
power—and that spells a pair of new thrills
for you. There's a performance thrill such
as you've never enjoyed in the Special —
plus a handsome gas-saving into the
bargain.
We'll make a prediction now as to what
title folks will give it, once they get it out
on the road. That title, in three words, will
be: "Thriftiest Buick Yet!"
♦Standard on Roadmastkr, optional at extra cost on other Series.
Standard equipment, accettorien and trim illustrated art *ubj*ct to changt
without notice.
Better hurry around to your Buick dealer's
and look this marvel over. We'll give you
another prediction—which is:
Once this one's discovered, the demand will
be terrific.

TEXAS' OLDEST STUDENT ORGANIZATION — THE ROSS VOLUNTEERS
Organized in 1887 as an honor company and crack drill unit, the Ross ill
Volunteer company at the A. and M. College of Texas is the oldest
student organization in the state. The first company was called the
"Scott Volunteers" in honor of the popular Col. T. M. Scott, then!
business manager of the college. In 1890, when the illustrious Lawrence m
Sullivan Ross, Confederate General and former Governor, became*
president of the college, the name was changed to honor him, and the 1
group became permanently established as the honor company of the 1
college. Through the years the Ross Volunteers have held to high
standards of character, scholarship and military precision. In addition
to their spectacular precision drills, they have served as honor guards j
for distinguished visitors to the campus and have participated in manyl
state ceremonies as an honor guard to the Governor. Ross Volunteers,'
in their white dress uniforms, are shown here grouped around thei-
statue of their patron, Sul Ross, which is a campus shrine at the i|
Texas school.
