He and his brother, Mrs. Mc-
Call’s father, were the first car
salesmen in South Dallas County
in 1908. A niece of Mr. Grounds
would teach a family to drive
when they bought a car from the
Grounds brothers.
The cars were assembled in Dal-
las after being shipped from
Chicago in crates. The two fami-
lies used the two cars that the
brothers bought in 1930 constantly
until the past year.

PFC. BOBBY L. MOX TAKES
PART IN AIRLIFT EXCERCISE
OF 101 ST AIRBORNE DIV.
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AHTNC)
—Army Pfc. Bobby L. Mox, 18,
whose wife, Mary lives at 1103
Noble Street, Carrollton, partici-
pated with other personnel from
the 101st Airborne Division in
Exercise Puerto Pine in Puerto
Rico. The 18-day exercise, which
included the largest peacetime
airlift ever attempted, ended
March 31.
During the exercise, participat-
ing troops of the Strategic Army
Corps (STRAC) were air trans-
ported from their home stations
throughout the U. S. to a staging
area in Puerto IRico and returned.
Puerto Pine is designed to deter-
mine the effectiveness of these
STRAC units in overcoming the
complex supply and operational
problems resulting from the rapid
deployment of a sizeable force by
air over great distances.
Mox, regularly assigned as a
cannoneer in Mortar Battery of
the division’s 187th Infantry at
Fort Campbell, Ky., entered the
Army in January 1959 and re-
ceived basic training at Fort Chaf-
fee, Ark.
He attended Thomas Jefferson
High School, Dallas. His parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Francis M. Mox, live
at 11210 Goodnight Lane, Dallas.

IMPULSE BUYING CAN
BE COSTLY BUYNG
Do you plan meals ahead and
have a shopping list when you go
to the grocery store, or do you
buy whatever attracts at the mo-
ment? Impulse buying can be
costly, Dallas County Home Dem-
onstration Agent, points out.
Here is why—'buying because
the food looks good is attractively
displayed, or suits your appetite
at the moment, often rules out
such considerations as price, nu-
tritive value, amount needed, fam-
ily preferences, and left-overs or
other foods that you already have
on hand.
Without plan it is hard to resist
tempting displays. But you can
guard against costly impulse buy-
ing by planning meals ahead—at
least several days to make best
use of foods on hand and to stay
within budget bounds.
Knowing the essentials of a good
diet is necessary for meal plan-
ning. The Texas A&M College bul-
letin “Good Meals Every Day”
available from your comity home
demonstration agent’s offices in
the Court House or by calling
RI7-8846 is an easy guide for
planning daily menus.
The shopping list is easy to plan
after menus are made. Time spent
in planning menus and making a
shopping list will save time and
money at the grocery store. It also
will mean better nutrition and eat-
ing satisfaction for family mem-
bers.

good nutrition, not merely “empty
calories,” suggests County Home
Demonstration Agent, Orene Mc-
Clellan.
Between-meal nibbling and
snacking often accounts for as
much as one-fourth of the daily
food intake according to extension
foods and nutrition specialists of
Texas A&M College. Sweets, pota-
to dips and carbonated beverages
are “empty calories.” They pro-
vide little or no nutrients.
Snacks after school during late
study hours, at the party or after
the show can he tasty as well as
nutritious. If you are on the heavy
side or want to maintain your
weight, eat foods low in calories
or energy value. Fresh fruits and
vegetables are excellent, carrot
sticks, celery curls, cucumber
slices, radish roses, and a variety
of fresh fruits are always on hand.
For between-meal beverages
fruit juices—plain or in combina-
tion. Milk is an execellent bever-
age containing many nutrients.
Serve it plain or combined with
fruit juices or flavorings.
Cheese like milk, is a good
source of calcium. At snack time,
arrange a tray of various kinds of
cheese slices, open up jars of
cheese spreads or make a cheese
dip. Serve with crackers or strips
of vegetables like celery or car-
rots when the gang drops by after
school.
GREASE ON WALLPAPER
To remove grease spots from
wallpaper, try holding a clean
white blotter over the spot with
warm iron for several minutes.
The heat should melt the oil or
grease so it can be absorbed by
the blotter.
