Meet 1940's “Iced Queens" .
Miss Gertrude Hammack and Kay
Matchett selected as “Miss Iced
Coffee’ and “Miss Iced Tea." The
smiling gentleman congratulating
the girls is none other than Ranny
Weeks, nationally popular band
leader, currently appearing at the
Rice Top Deck. Houston. The oc-
casion marks the third annual ob-
servance of the opening of the
iced coffee and tea season.
The event is to be observed na-
tionally thoughout the coming
weeks. Coffee growers of the lead-
ing coffee producing countries will
send special samples of their cof-
fees by air express to this coun-
try, where the coffees will be
blended and the resulting brew
served to government officials and
to the mayors of leading United
States coffee ports.
The event performs the func-
tion of renewing interest in iced
tea as well as calling the at-
tention of the trade and public to
a pleasing and stimulating sum-
mer beverage (iced, coffee) . . .
a beverag'. i . mentally, that is
more important to our economical
structure than the average person
realizes.

JACK BENNY IN
PALACE FILM
FAMOl'8 FILM AND RADIO
COMEDIAN BEOOMES
TOUGH HOMBRE
It’s a hard riding, straight-
shooting, two-fisted Jack Benny,
a mighty tough hombre, who ap-
pears in “Buck Benny Rides
[Again,” the newest screen vehicle
■of the famous film and radio
(comedian, which shows for the
bast time tonight at the Palace
•Theatre Wild Rill Hickok and
■Billy the kid were tenderfeet by
Comparison with the rip-snorting
fbuckaroo, the terror of the plains,
'the mad man of the west, Buck
Benny of Bar None.
It’s a new dynamic Benny, with
a scowl on his face and a glint in
his eye — a hero to everyone ex-
cept his valet, who happens to be
Rochester. Rustlers quail at his
approach — they were paid to
quail and they earned their
money. Redmen cower, and raise
their hands furtively to their
own scalps — the tribes were
scoured for braves who really
knew how to cower in a pinch.
Buck Benny rules the range —
throuh extensive bribery.
For “Buck Benny Rides Again"
tells the story of a harmless, in-
offensive radio performer, Jack
Benny played by himself, who dis-
covers that his girl friend adores
the West, and the only way to win
her is to make like Hopalong Cas-
sidy. .
Benny’s supporting cast includ-
es virtually all the members of
his radio program, with the ex-
ception of Mary Livingston, who
joins his old rival, Fred Allen, in
some off-screen heckling. Ellen
Drew, Paramount’s new star, plays
the feminine lead, with Virginia
Dale and Lillian Cornell in other
principal feminine roles. Eddie
“Rochester” Anderson, Phil Har-
ris, Andy Devine and Dennis Day-
play the radio characters they
have made famous. Carmichael,
the polar bear, has a bit part.

the economy of our neighborhood
nations to the South. This year
they are faced with the loss of
their European markets. When
they can sell their coffee, they
are prosperous customers of
Uncle Sam. When they cannot,
their economic position becomes
affected, and our exports figures
to these countries clearly reflect
the situation. Although our im-
ports from these countries were
at the highest figure in history
during 1939, this year our neigh-
bors hope that we can absorb at
least some of the crops that they
usually ship to Europe.
Iced coffee provides a potential
outlet for that increased con-
sumption. Many people who have
never tasted the nation’s favorite
beverage (coffee) in iced form
turn to other drinks in summer
weather. Throughout the country,
roasters, grocers, and restauran-
teurs will bring iced coffee to
their attention this summer, with
the hope that hot weather con-
sumption of the commodity will
stay on the same level as during
the’ winter. In the Southwest, this
campaign will be aggressively sup-
ported by the Southwest’s own
Admiration Coffee and Tea.

“God the Preserver of Man” is
the subject of the Lesson-Sermon
which will be read in all Church-
es of Christ, Scientist, on Sun-
day, June 16.
The Golden Text is: “The Lord
is my rock, and my fortress, and
my d e 1 i v ere r; my God, my
strength, in whom I will trust; my
buckler, and the horn of my sal-
vation, and my high tower
(Psalms 18:2).
Among the citations w h i c h
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the
following from the Bible: “With-
hold not thou thy tender mercies
from me, O Lord: let thy loving
kindness and thy truth continual-
ly preserve me. . . . Let all those
that seek thee rejoice and be glad
in thee: let such as love thy sal-
vation say continually, The Lord
be magnified” (Psalms 40:11,
16).

"Rangin' a pot's like bulldog gin' a steer"
?TpHE modern linerider has a language all his own,
X much the same as the West Texas cowboy uses a
"range” tongue "foreign” to most of us.
These linemen are hanging a pot on a 50-foot Black
Diamond. They are using a gut on the hot wires for pro-
tection against high voltage juice.
A "pot” is a transformer, fixed high up on a creosote
pole. It reduces voltage to 110 or 220 voits so that elec-
tric current can be safely used in your home. A "gut” is
the rubber line hose placed around the wires to prevent
shock.
Until a worker is experienced enough to perch atop the
pole without fear and without holding on with one hand,
he is known as a "dumb-some.” The man working on the
ground, sending up tools and handling paraphernalia is
called a'"Grunt.” "Coon that pole” is the signal to climb
a pole when not equipped with climbing hooks or spurs.
"Suck on it” means to take up the slack in a new wire
being strung. A "johnnie ball” is an insulator. A "nigger-
head” is a porcelain fuse cutout around which wires are
tied on cross-arms for insulation purposes. "The Bear” is
the sobriquet sometimes given "the boss.”
Although the lineman's life is fraught with danger,
he is a normal ritizen... maybe your neighbor. He is
one of hundreds of men and women working behind the
scenes to help make Electric Service efficient, dependable,
and economical here...On him we bestow a title of
honor — A Modern Linerider.
