Havajava Manufacturing Company
Plans Open House Sunday, July 12
The Texas Department of Public Safety appeals to all drivers
to mark this Fourth of July weekend as a time to '■-view their
driving habits in light of the fact that traffic acc' Is are at
an all-time high. Serious accidents are more frequeiu in holiday
periods, and it is estimated that 32 persons will be killed ill
traffic from Friday, July 3, through Sunday, July 5. This doesnl
have to happen! Tragedy can be averted by remaining constantly
on the alert for dangerous situations, by not taking chances and
by driving in accordance with laws of safety.

gram, sponsored by the W.S.C.S. of

firms To Be Closed
For Fourth Holiday
'The following business firms have

TOBY’S DRIVE INN
(Closed 3rd and 4th)
FIRST BANK AND TRUST CO.
CITY OFFICE
WHITE DEER INSURANCE A.
Highway Patrol
Extends Warning
For 4th Holiday
While the drivers of Texas are
making plans for 4th of July trips,
the Texas Department of Public
Safety is getting ready for “Opera-
tion Motorcide,” a three-day vigil
of tabulating all traffic deaths in
the state. Major Harry Hutchinson,
Regional Commander of this area
for the D. P. S., reported today
the state is approaching the mid-
point of the year amid definite in-
dications that traffic deaths will hit
an all-time high again in 1964.
“If we continue to take lives at
the present rate, 1964 will become
the most deadly year in Texas his-
tory for traffic fatalities,” he said.
“Motorcides” at this time are over
150 more than at the same time
last year, and considering the trend
of increased accidents and casual-
ties, we have every reason to ex-
pect that traffic deaths will exceed
the previous all time high in Texas
of 2,729 in 1963.
“Only 271 more deaths in
than in 1963 will make a total of
3,000 lives lost in our streets and
highways in one year, an increase
for the year of ten per cent over
1963.” Deaths in traffic, this year
have consistently been in excess of
fifteen per cent over 1963, an indi-
cation that the 3,000 mark will be
surpassed.
Hutchinson said that “Operation
Motorcide” will be placed in effect
from 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 3rd,
and continue through 11:50 p.m.
Sunday, July 5. In order to focus
attention upon the added dangers
of holiday travel when traffic is at
a peak and as an integral part of
the operation, which calls for max-
imum enforcement, addiitonal per-
sonnel from other uniformed serv-
ices of the D.P.S. will augment the
regular Highway Patrol force. These
patrolmen have been instructed to
be extra alert for and direct their
enforcement efforts toward those
violations that are most often caus-
ed factors in traffic accidents.
“Since police traffic supervision
cannot cover the entire street and
highway system in the state every
minute of the day, the big hope for
safe driving and accident preven-
tion rests with the individual mo-
torist,” Hutchinson concluded.
JOE SEITZ IS INJURED
Joe Seitz received a bad gash on
his forehead early Wednesday
morning when the brakes on a pick-
up driven by Finis Keeton failed.
Joe was in front of his shop mak-
ing repairs to the barber pole when
he was struck. The pipe in front
of the pole, hit by the truck, struck
Joe a glancing blow and knocked
him to the sidewalk. He was rushed
to the emergency room at Highland
General Hospital where he was
x-rayed to discover the extent of
his injuries. After 16 stitches were
taken in his forehead, he was re-
leased to recuperate at home.
The Havajava Manufacturing Co.,
one of the most promising new in-
dustries in Carson County, will
hold open house Sunday, July 12,
from 2:00 until 6 p.m. The new fac-
tory, located at 3rd and Paul Street
in White Deer, is managed by Mar-
vin Urbanczyk.
Already in production on a limit-
ed basis, the factory is presently
manufacturing four models of the
fresh - brewed, single - cup, coffee
making machines that are capable
of making 110 cups of coffee per
pound.

Callboard Story
Director Reveals
Irrigation Batteries
Stolen From Farms
Irrigation motor batteries were
stolen from the C. C. Kelly and Na-
than Edwards farms. The Kelly bat-
tery was taken during the night of
June 28. The Edwards battery,
along with three-fourths of a case of
oil, was taken sometime the night
1964 of June 29.
Vincent Urbanczyk discovered a
battery and generator in some
weeds on his farm on Tuesday af-
ternoon.
Deputy Shirley White reports the
battery found was the one taken
from Nathan Edwards’ farm, but
that the generator has not, as yet,
been reported as missing.
NOTICE
The Board of Equalization of the
White Deer Independent School Dis-
trict will be in session at 8:00 p.m.
July 14, 1964. Anyone wishing to
meet with this board may do so.
The meeting will be held in the
School Tax Office.
Verlin Rice killed a skunk found
at the fence of the F. H. Wakefield
yard last Saturday afternoon. The
erratic behavior of the skunk has
raised concern that the skunk may
have been rabid. It would be wise
for all local pet owners to watch
for any change in the actions of
their animals during the next few
weeks.
Callboard Theatre and its story,
beginning with a news editorial, en-
thusiastic, sensitive youth, a forfeit-
ed vacation, a dream or two and
finally an idea catching fire may
soon be viewed on a nation-wide
hook-up — CBS Television.
Channel 10’s program director,
Mr. Mike Wallace, told Mr. W. C.
Smith in a telephone conversation
recently that the story of Callboard
Theatre could have merit, as Chan-
nel 10 News received a story com-
ing out of New York City which par-
alleled some of the local happenings
connected with Callboard Theatre
activities. The New York story, it
seems, had related that its youth
were taking to the stage to beat the
heat, relax and mostly to combat
boredom and have “something to
j do.” Mr. Wallace said he would
! file the Callboard Theatre story
I with CBS and only time would tell
if there was apparent interest.
CBS is interested! Mr. Bill Lar-
son, Channel 10 representative who
filmed Callboard rehearsals last
week, called Wednesday, July 1, to
inform Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Smith
of CBS’s interest. Mr. Larson stated
that filming — complete with sound
— was next in order and that he
would probably be on hand in the
interests of CBS for the opening
night, Friday, July 3. Mr. Larson
further indicated that possibly three
trips would be necessary for the
complete television wrap-up on
film of Callboard Theatre’s story.
will be made from the St. Louis,
Mo., headquarters which is manag-
ed by Delmer Urbanczyk.
The demand for the Havajava
machines, both nation-wide and
abroad, is beginning to boom, since
the various models for the home,
business and public use (coin oper-
ated) is the most practical answer
for thousands of coffee drinkers.
“A fresh-brewed cup of coffee in 12
seconds, with no mess or fuss.”
The units are to be manufactured
exclusively in White Deer for world
distribution, with Marvin Urbanczyk
as general manager, and Arnold Ur-
banczyk in charge of production.
Sweden is the first country abroad
to receive a shipment of the mach-
ines from the White Deer plant.
With the exception of a few small
plastic parts, the entire mechanism
and cabinets are produced in the
local plant.
The number of employees will be
increased as key personnel are
trained and as soon as schedules
will permit, stated Marvin.
Carson County and the state of
Texas can take justifiable pride in
this new industry which was moved
from California to the high plains
area, where many of the nation’s
industries have set their sights for
future expansion.
The Havajava Manufacturing Co.
open house is expected to draw vis-
itors from near and far to see these
unique machines demonstrated,
which in a few years will be com-
monplace in homes and offices
across the nation and abroad.
A Havajava “Coffee Butler,”1
which is a flush wall-mounted unit,,
will be given as a door prize tn
some lucky person.
CHURCH HAS NEW MINISTER
Robert Lockwood, formerly of Le-
fors, is the new minister of the As-
I sembly of God Church in White
' Deer.
DOWN THE HATCH!
Dorothy Conrad and Sonny Free-
man decided the beautiful day we
had last Friday was perfect water-
melon-eating time. Since they could
leave their places of business, they
took a big melon out on the shady
curb and “got after it, much to the
envy of passers-by.
NEW PRESCRIPTION SERVICE
DeWayne Brown, 317 Doucette,
resident pharmacist, reports that
daily prescription service is now
available for White Deer. Those de-
siring this service may bring pre-
scriptions to his home or may call
883-6791 for further information.
Tentative plans, Mr. Brown reports,
are to move the prescription shop
to the downtown area sometime
this fall.
HELP!
Louis Neighbours says, “no more
helping, from him, in moving irri-
gation pipe.” Seems Marvin Urban-
czyk called for his help to move a
pipe with something in it. Louis
picked up the pipe and shook it —•
out came the prettiest little cat
with a white stripe down its back.
The score was evened, however,
when Louis had to ride back in
Marvin’s new pick-up.
Three More Dogs
Found Poisoned
Three more dogs were found poi-
soned this week. This is the second
time this month such cowardly acts-
have occurred.
The C. C. Kelly and Orville
Craig, Jr. families both lost pets
— another dog, owner unknown,
was found during the same period.
It would be well for all citizens to
remember that a stiff fine is in
prospect for anyone caught com-
mitting such a crime and is sub-
ject to libel suits by the dog own-
ers.
Picnic To Climax
Reading Program
The last story hour of the Sum-
mer Reading Program was held to-
day. Attendance for the summer
has been most rewarding — 70 were
present at last week’s story hour.
Thursday, July 2, at 6:00 p.m. in
the City Park a county-wide picnic
will climax this year’s program.
Each year the library reading
groups of the county present a part
of the program. This year’s cut-
tings for “Cinderella,” Callboard
Theatre’s opening production, will
be White Deer’s contribution to the
evening’s festivities.
Mrs. Kay Robertson will lead the
entire group in a singalong as fur-
ther entertainment.
All Reading Club members are
invited to attend and enjoy the fun.
