A holiday marriage / which took

Dan Richard, only son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harris, entered school at
Southwestern university at
Georgetown last June immediately
after graduating from Albany high
school and completed his freshman
year in college last week.
When his . father arrived there
fast week to bring him home for
the mid-term vacation, he present-
ed his bride and announced the
wedding had occurred during the
holidays.
The bride is the former Joanne
Lyons, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. E. Lyons of Georgetown, promi-
nent retired business family there.
She is a senior in the Georgetown
high school and expects to receive
Sier diploma there May 26.
D. Richard has recently passed
his pre-induction physical and
plans to enlist in the Navy and will
not return to college at this time.

HEALTH FOR ALL
SO A WANT-AD IN OUR
PAPER SOLD IT FOR YOU.
EH ? WELL I'M SURE GLAD
AND YOU'RE WELCOME
CHECKING UP ON HEALTH
If we read in the paper that a
train hit an automobile and a man
was killed, we are shocked at the
tragic waste of life and wonder
why the driver did not take time to
"stop, look and listen."
It is just as tragic when people
fail to take time to check up on
their health. Each year many lives
are lost because people take
chances with health.
There are some diseases which
have no specific outward symp-
toms in their early stages, yet they
are deadly diseases and, if un-
checked, will cause death. Tuber-
culosis, the greatest disease-killer
of persons between the ages of 15
and 45, is one of these.
Unfortunately, tuberculosis does
not ring a bell or put up a "Stop!"
sign when it first attacks a person.
The first signs of danger appear

BACK
IN THE
KITCHEN
Yes, she's back at her old job of home-making—
that 24-hour-a-day job with no overtime pay.
Mom learned a lot about electric service during
the war. She found that stitching up a cruiser and
stitching up a curtain are both done more easily
a.nd quickly when electricity lends a hand.
And when home-making had to be sandwiched
in after war-plant hours, Mom learned that the
touch of a finger-tip brought her a dozen willing
servants for the cost of a candy bar.
Mom's back in the kitchen. And elcctric service
—always ready, dependable and cheap—is there
with her, making her tasks easier, her life more com-
fortable. Service like that just doesn't happen. It
takes hard work and good business management.
The men and women in Mom's electric company—
and yours, too—make it possible. 4

after the disease has made consid-
erable headway. Nevertheless,
there is a way to check up on tub-
' erculosis before it has had time to
i . .
• cause grave injury.
I The way to keep ahead of tuber-
! culosis is to have periodic chest
■ X-ray examinations.
X-ray pictures of the lungs will
reveal the presence of tuberculosis I
while it is still in its early stages,
before outward symptoms appear
and when it can be treated effec-
tively. For tuberculosis, as serious
a disease as it is, can be checked in
its early stages before the lung has
been badly damaged. The less
damage done at the time of discov-
ery and the beginning of treat-
ment, the greater are the chances
of recovery.
If we wait for the first symp-
toms of the disease — loss of
weight, a constant tired feeling and
a persistnent cough—the disease
will have progressed to the point
where the "cure" will be a long
process.
It does not take ^ong to have a
chest X-ray. The X-ray itself act-
ually takes only a few seconds. A
few minutes taken out of a day
may save months of treatment in a
hospital. Neglecting to take tirpe
to have periodic chest X-rays is as
foolish as failing to heed "Stop,
Look, Listen" sign# at a railroad
crossing.
It is just plain, common sense to
have periodic chest X-rays. This
is the only way to find tuberculosis
when it first attacks. There is an-
other advantage, too. If our lungs
are sound and healthy, the X-ray
will reveal this, too. And it is
mighty good to be certain we are
not harboring a disease.
Pneumonia will be discussed in
the next article.

Matador will wager you they are
over the top.

Gordon Nelms, general storekeeper near
Jonesboro, Arkansas, calls a neighbor over
one of the first experimental power-line
carrier telephones.
This newest of all farm telephone service,
using electric power lines instead of regular
telephone lines to talk over, is now being
given field tests by the Bell Telephone
Laboratories and the Rural Electrification
Administration.
Power-line carrier telephones will not be
ready for general use until numerous tests
are completed. When available, they'll go
a long way in speeding the extension and
improvement of rural telephone service.
During the war we installed more than
17,000 new rural telephones, and in the
next five years we plan to put in 165,000
more.
