Moves Into
New Building
By DORIS HENDERSON
Now that income tax payment
time is over, Bill is feeling a
little better for he has just
found out that next year he will
have an additional deduction —
that is, for the medical bill he
Is paying for curing the ulcer he
got after paying his income tax
this year.
It isn’t that we can’t live
within our income, we do. At
least we do until April each
year, and then we find we
haven’t made enough for us the
United States Government. Per-
sonally, I think the government
Is spending too much. I know it
couldn’t be me.
I am always saving money.
“Why just last week when Bill
let me go to Dallas with him, I
saved him lots of money. He
only let me have two hours to
•go shopping, and I only got to
go to one store, but it was a nice
big one, and they were having
the most .marvelous sale on lin-
gerie. Why I bet I saved Bill at
least $40, for everything was
marked down to half price.
The time before when Bill
took me to Dallas it was on a
Sunday, and there aren’t many
places open on Sunday, but I
found this interior decorating
shop in Richardson that was
going out of business. I had all
afternoon to spend in that one
shop, and I found the most de-
lightful bargains — beautiful
ashtrays, large candles, artifi-
cial flowers, lots of goodies like
that. They were almost giving
the stuff away, for some was
less than half price. I had lots
of time, and I saved lots of
money that day.
Bill goes to Wichita Falls for
an Army Reserve meeting this
weekend, and I really can’t un-
_ derstand why he says I can’t
' go, but it is something about
his not being able to afford my
saving him any more money.
You would think he would ap-
• predate my finding all these
things on sale, and instead he
asked me, “What are you going
to do with all these dust-catch-
ers?’’
I don’t think he or the gov-
ernment appreciates my thrifti-
ncss.
I know the government does-
n’t. for they set income tax pay-
ment time right after I got my
April issue of Better Homes and
Gardens. The magazine was
full of the latest kitchen ap-
pliances, and I just knew I had
to redo my kitchen. After seeing
pictures of the latest ranges,
ovens, and refrigerators I felt
that my stove was about the
same as a wood burner, and my
refrigerator like the old-time
ice boxes.
There is one glass-ceramic
cook top that hides the heat
elements, burners and drip
trays. It has a smooth, flat
“surface that wipes clean, you
never have to scrub around
burners or worry about cover-
ing drip trays with foil. Too,
• when you buy the cook top,
they give you nine cookware
utensils of the same easy-care
ceramics. I am sure I need one
of those.
There was a picture of a re-
frigerator that has a cold water
and ice cube dispenser on the
door. Push the cradle marked
‘■ice” and cubes drop in your
glass. You can fill a whole ice
bucket. Push the other one and
you get a cold drink of water.
No messy ice trays to fill, don’t
even have to open the freezer
door to get ice, no defrosting,
ever. I know I need one of those.
But what I need most of all
is the new double ovens. Above
is the electronic oven, and be-
low is a self-cleaning conven-
tional oven. In the self-clean-
ing oven you lock the oven door,
push some button, and it cleans
itself All the messy grease and
splatters burn, and all you have
left is some fine ashes that you
wipe up. No more oven to clean,
how I would like that.
But that electronic oven, that
is something out. of this world.
First, you cook in paper, plastic,
glass or china no more roast-
ers to scrub, and second you can
• bake a big turkey in something
like 40 minutes, a roast in 20
or less, and I think a baked po-
tato takes something like 3 min-
utes, or maybe 5. I am con-
’vinced that everyone who bakes
needs one of those.
There were also new dish-
washers where you don’t even
scrape the platters, much less
rinse them thoroughly.
All of this was in the first few
pa„-e„ of the uugauue. In Ui»
main section there were pictures
of new furniture, floor covering,
fabrics and wall coverings — I
liked all of it.
But, now, all I can do is save
the magazine, and maybe next
year if I quit saving so much
money at sales, and if the gov-
ernment learns to live on less,
I can afford one of the goodies.
In the meantime, whenever I
i think of what our relatives in
I Czechoslovakia are going
through, I can happily count my
blessings and be grateful that
I have a stove in which to bake,
and a refrigerator stuffed full
of food, and be glad that all our
government asked was for some
extra money for income tax.

April Rains
Total 2.61”
April rainfall which totals 2.61
inches, has been just right to
produce a profusion of flowers.
Central Texas is seldom this co-
lorful, nor do we normally have
prolonged spring weather as we
have enjoyed this year. It seems
most of the time we have a late
freeze which ruins fruit trees in
bloom, and a few days later the
mercury climbs from cold to bli-
stering hot. This, has been the
exception.
Rainfall in April has been:
April 4 — trace; April 5—1.07;
April 9 — trace; April 10 — 03;
April 13 — 1.09; April 17 .35;
April 20 — .04; and April 21 —
.02.
Old Corner Drug moved
across the street into their new
building over the weekend. Al-
tho merchandise is still being
put on the shelves, and all new
merchandise that was ordered
has not arrived Wendel Mont-
gomery and the entire staff are
hard at work getting everything
In order.
Date for an open house has
not been set.
Mr. Montgomery said that
preparations for the move had
been going on for several
months, merchandise had been
packed in boxes so far as was
possible, and when the moving
began Saturday night, it was
relatively easy to move across
the street.
The biggest problem was mo-
ving the prescription depart-
ment, but with Raymond Kap-
i czynski, Dr. B. D. Pierce, and
Mrs. Montgomery standing by
to unpack and arrange the thou-
sands of bottles everything was
put in alphabetical order, and
by Monday morning the pre-
scription department as well as
the rest of the store was open
and ready for business,
The exterior of the building
is not complete, but the front
and part of the side is finished
in redwood. The brick side wall
will be finished with a perma-
nent type plaster that will never
need repainting.
The interior with soft green
walls and indoor-outdoor car-
peting is luxurious. The build-
ing has 3,000 square feet of floor
space downstairs and has an
additional 3,000 feet of space up-
stairs for storage

W. 0. Montgomery
Receives C-C Good
Citizen Award
W. O. Montgomery is the re-
cipient of the Chamber of
Commerce good citizen award
for the month of April.
After many months of plan-
ning and work, last weekend Mr.
Montgomery moved his Old Cor-
ner Drug across the street into
the building formerly occupied
by the State National Bank.
Redwood siding has been put on
the front on the building, the
side will be plastered, and the
interior is completely new from
the carpeted floor to the new
roof.
Westites are indeed proud of
this handsome new addition to
the business district.
After graduating from West
High School, Mr. Montgomery
received his degree in Pharma-
cy from Oklahoma State Univer-
sity in 1939, and immediately
went to work at Old Corner
Drug, buying the drug store 2
years later.
He has served on the West In-
dependent School Board since
1951, and also raises quarter-
horses, several of which have
won major races.
He married the former Miss
Georgie Morris in 1939. and they
have one daughter, Mrs. John
Irwin of Houston.
Martin Points Out Need For

Going into this year’s season,
Martin had coached James
Shaw to two straight high hur-
dle state titles and one 330 in-
termediate medal. Bell was
counted on to keep the hurdle
dynasty going but injuries in
the crucial week prevented any
possibility of that.

By ERNIE MaKuVY
Coach Henry Martin sat talk-
ing over a cup of coffee Sun-
day morning, not really the
happiest fellow in town. His
three-year string had been
broken the day before and it
was not one of those things a
coach is really anxious to talk
about.
"For the first time since I’ve
been here (four years) he was
saying, "this is the first time I
did not have a boy in the reg-
ional finals.”
Undoubtedly, the topic of con-
versation was track and the reg-
ional meet the day before. The
Trojans, under Martin as tutor,
had sent three delegates to

with with a state champion.
“But this has been a rough
track year,” he said, not looking
for an excuse. "We didn’t get to
work much with the weather
like it was and we didn’t exactly
have the right training facili-
ties.”
In search of producing a third
straight champion, Martin saw
those dreams go down the drain
early that Saturday afternoon.
Neither Loyde Bell, Richard Cer-
nosek nor Danny Mynarcik
qualified for the finals, but as
Martin quickly added, “their
performances weren’t that bad. ’
Bell, who ran a 15.6 in the
120-yard high hurdles, did not
get in a single day of practice
the week of the meeting. Mar-
tin said, and without doubt the
layoff hurt him considerably.
"You just don’t cut the time
in hurdles without practice,” he
all players were drafted earlier
this week, however, Thursday.
May 1 has been set as the open-
ing date for any team to begin
practice.
Since the ball program has
expanded and so many more
teams will be playing this year,
they are in desperate need of
more umpires. Anyone willing *o
umpire is asked to contact C.
W. Cernosek.

Move Clocks
Up One Hour
Saturday Night
Daylight Saving Time will be-
gin at 2 a. m. Sunday. It won’t
be any trouble to move the
hands of the clock ahead an
hour but it may take a little
while to get our interior docks
set to the new time.
People who are used to wak-
ing up at 7 a. m. will find it is
8 a. m„ their stomachs will tell
them breakfast is an hour early,
even if the clock says it isn’t.
It will be a little confusing
in this and other respects for a
while until the biological clocks
and the mechanical clocks are
synchronized.
At precisely 2 a.m. Sunday it
becomes 3 a. m., so you should
move your dock ahead one hour
before going to bed Saturday
night in order to be on time
when you get up Sunday morn-
ing.
In losing an hour of clocktime,
we gain an hour of daylight at
the end of the day for outdoor
work or play. By the clock, the
sun will be an hour higher in
the sky when you get off work
or out of school for the next
six months.
ST ends at 2 a. m. Oct. 26,
when all docks arc moved back
one hour.
The changeover will not affect
drinking time. Bars cannot serve
after 1 a. m.
