CELINA, TEXAS, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER % 1935
Joseph A. Spann Passes;
Sight and Hearing Gone
Joseph A. Spann of this city died
at the family home in the west part
of town at 11:45 p. m. Saturday.
Mr. Spann was born near Joplin,
Mo., in 1853. He came to Texas in
1875 and was married to Miss Laura
Kinning Dec. 15, 1886. Nine child-
ren were born to the union, five of
whom died in infancy. The four sur-
viving are Mrs. Tom N. O’Dell, who
resides a short distance northeast of
Celina, Miss Pearl Spann, Mrs. Ted
Yarborough and Joe Spann, all of
this city, and all were at their fath-
er’s bedside when the end came. Mr.
Spann was the grandfather of five
children, Hugh, Noel, Dorothy, Dan-
iel and Laura Sue O’Dell, all child-
ren of Mr. and Mrs. Tom N. O’Dell.
This good man, who was deprived
of both his eyesight and hearing a
few years ago, was converted and
united with the Baptist Church in
1923. He was cheerful despite his
misfortune. Whiie he seldom left his
home since becoming blind and deaf,
Tew are the citizens of Celina who
have not heard him on his front
porch late in the afternoon of the
long summer days, pouring out his
soul to his maker in religious songs.
He was one of the gentlest of men
and very affectionate to his wife
and children. The approach of the
silent boatmen had no terror for
him.
The funeral was conducted at the
Baptist Church at 2:45 Sunday after-
noon in the presence of a large
number of relatives and friends. Five
ministers had a part in conducting
the funeral, two of them, the Rev.
L. T. Grumbles and the Rev. G. B.
Airhart, his former pastors; one, the
Rev. W. J. Epting, his pastor at the
time of his death, and the Rev. O. M.
Turner^ pastor of the First Method-
ist Church. The floral decoration of
the church was a beautiful testimo-
nial to the love and esteem of those
among whom he lived.
A special vocal solo was rendered
by Mrs. Guy Bunch.
After the service at the church
the body was conveyed to Cottage
Hill Cemetery and lowered into its
last earthly resting (place. When the
crave was filled over the body the
>ibu3jd was covered with beautiful
loweH wrought into artistic and ex-
<ressK^ designs by loving hands.
The Helms funeral home had
harge of interment.
A sister of deceased, Mrs. C. C.
IcDonough, who will soon be 97, has
een an invalid for years at the home
x her deceased brother and for the
past several years has been confined
to her bed.
Mont Brewer, A. V. Rogers, J.
Thos. Robinson, Tom Perkins, Dr.
W. H. Stallcup and G. C. Sheets
served as pall-bearers.
Flower-bearers were W. H. Nichol,
Carl Patrick, L. T. Grumbles, Ray
Grumbles, Paul O’Brien, Allie Wel-
'on Lewis and Keister Snodgrass.
Out of town friends and relatives
^resent at the funeral were Mr. and

and Mrs. Virgil Stracener, of Dallas;

Valuation of Utilities
Without Cost to Celina
The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mayor S. M. Francis and
is self-explanatory:
November 1, 1935.—Hon. S. M.
Francis, Celina, Texas. Dear Sir: The
Railroad Commission of Texas, hav-
ing completed the valuation of over
twelve thousand miles of gas pipe
line, and having fixed the fair rate
to be charged for domestic gas at
the city limits, on practically all gas
pipe lines, is now proceeding to fix
the fair rate to be charged for gas
at the burner tip in all towns in
which it has this original authority,
being those towns having a popula-
tion of two thousand or less.
I am pleased to advise that your
city is one in which the commission
will do this work, using our own
valuation engineers and auditors,
and without expense to your people.
It will take some time to complete
this work in those places served by
the Lone Star Gas Company, which
is the system that we now have un-
der investigation, and it is hoped
that your people will understand that
under the decisions of the courts it
is necessary for a detailed investi-
gation to be made when rates are
fixed and this necessarily takes some
time—invariably more time than the
person looking for relief thinks it
should, and for this reason the Com-
mission craves the assistance and the
indulgence of you and your Council
in assuring your people that this
work will oe completed at the ear-
liest possible moment.
It gives the Railroad Commission
great pleasure to announce this to
you, and to me, as Chairman, it is
a source of great satisfaction, be-
cause I have always been deeply in-
terested in rendering any assistance
possible toward fixing fair utility
rates to the end that any excessive
charges might be reduced to such a
rate as will be fair to the utility and
at the same time reduce the burden
to the consumer.
Assuring you of my willingness to
be of service at any time, I am
Very sincerely,
ERNEST O. THOMPSON,
Chairman Railroad Commission of
Texas.
Ex-Service Men Grateful
For Courtesy by Nelsons
No Armistice Day program was ar-
ranged for Celina and the only thing
to mark the day as different from
any other was the flying of Old
Glory and a friendly demonstration
for the boys who fought for their
country by the Nelson Cafe, where
beans, buns and coffee were served
to all ex-service men, serving to
bring memories of the time when the
men served in training camps here
or in the actual fighting overseas.
Around the beans, coffee and buns
the men rehearsed some of their ar-
my experiences and, despite the
nightmare the war was, laughed and
joked as if seventeen years before
they had not faced death by shot and
shell almost every minute of the day.
This friendly gestui’e by Nelson’s
cafe is thoroughly appreciated by
these men who staked their lives for
their country and they insist that the
Record thank the management sin-
cerely for them.
12 CENTS COTTON GUARANTEE
Farmers who expect to get the
difference in what they sold their
cotton for and 12 cents should see
the party who bought their cotton
immediately, and have cotton form
No. CAP 1 filled out. Forms must be
filled out on all cotton already sold
by Nov. 16th, or very soon thereaf-
ter. Forms for cotton sold after Nov.
16, must be filled out within 7 days
after the cotton is sold, and the or-
iginal copy turned into the County
Agent’s office.
The cotton buyer fills these forms
out in triplicate. The buyer keeps
one copy, the producer keeps one
copy, and the original copy is sent to
the County Agent’s office.
It is very important that the pro-
ducer’s name be placed on the cot-
ton sale certificate, (CAP 1) just as
it appears on the Bankhead applica-
tion.
It is also very important that the
Bankhead application number be
placed in the upper right hand cor-
ner. Where you have more than one
Bankhead application number, it is
very'necessary that the number cov-
ering the particular farm from which
you are selling cotton be placed on
form CAP 1.

Demonstrators Elect
Officers, Committees
At the annual meeting of the coun-
ty home demonstration council Sat-
urday afternoon, Mrs. Bart Bryant
and Miss Eva Bryan were reelected
chairman and secretary respectively
for the coming year. Mrs. Grady
Cothes of the Bethany club was elec-
ted vice-chairman.
Committee reports showing the
year’s accomplishments were given
by the following chairmen:
Finance—Mrs. C. L. Weeks, Bloom-
dale club.
Recreation—Miss Pauline Bryan,
Bethany club.
Council reporter—Mrs. J. T. Isom,
Franklin club.
The plan for the 1936 year books
was presented and approved. The
books will soon be printed and
placed in the hands of each club
woman.
A demonstration in the making of
moccasins as a Christmas suggestion
was given by Miss Eva Bryan, who
received her training in the short
course last summer. She showed a
completed pair made of sheep skin
and made a pair of felt. At the De-
cember council meeting, Miss Bryan
will show the scouring of wool to
help those who wish to learn the lat-
est methods of cleaning home-grown
wool in preparation for making com-
f<frts.
The use of the jelmeter, a new in-
strument used in the making of jel-
ly, was shown by Miss Dunlap.
Home Demonstrators’
Varied Experiences
Venturing with the planting of
garden seeds is fun, thinks Beatrice
Pittman, a member of the Bloomdale
4-H club. Sometimes you loose your
seeds, she says, and again you are
pleasantly surprised. Beatrice now
has 125 feet of Chinese cabbage just
ready to head as a result of her de-
sire to experiment with the time of
planting seeds. Last spring, she
grew it as a spring vegetable and
found that it was a cool weather
plant. With this in mind, she decided
to try growing it as a fall vegetable,
and planted it early in September.
It now stands 12 to 15 inches high
and is heading.
Chinese cabbage is a new vegeta-
ble to Beatrice’s family, but their
experience with it in the spring
showed them that it should be pre-
pared for the table about the same
as cabbage. They especially enjoy it
raw, when used as a salad.
By mulching her cuttings with
some straw last summer, Mrs. Buell
Shields, yard demonstrator of the
Cottage Hill Home Demonstration
Club, states that she kept them alive
so that some have grown to a height
of 18 inches. Before she put the
straw around the plants, about 3
inches deep, she said they had begun
to wither. After the mulch was ap-
plied, however they began growing,
and she now has evergreen plants to
place in her screen. This fall, Mrs.
Shields is packing straw under the
ground near her plants as a means
of helping to conserve moisture for
next summer. She believes that the
decaying straw will act as a sponge
in holding moisture for the roots.

School News
Sophomore Class Party.
The sophomore class was enter-
tained Friday night, November 8, at
the home of Mary Nell Durham.
Games were played, stunts pulled,
and jokes and riddles told. Refresh-
ments of punch, cookies and sand-
wiches were served to the following
students: Dora lone King, Juanita
Kindle, Daurice Melton, Wayne
Marks, Horace Rucker, Harrison
Gunter, Faye Stagner, Wilbur Cupp,
Mary Jo Stone, Maurine Melton,
Gustine Kirby, Bryan Tucker, Laura
Beth Howell, Mary Nell Durham and

Announcement was made by J. W.
Chapman, superintendent, of the hol-
idays to be granted this year. Thurs-
day, November 28, and Friday, No-
vember 29, will be granted fori the

holiday will begin Friday, December
20, at four o’clock, and school will
be resumed on Monday, January 6.
Gone are the days when children
studied only “readin’, writin’ an’
and Tithmetie” in “the little red
school house.” The modern child, fac-
ing a more complex world, is taught
adjustment to his environment as
well as mastery of the fundamentals.
The service of the firemen to the
community and methods of prevent-
ing fires have been the subjects of
study in the second grade recently,
under the direction of Miss Wilma
Stone. This study started at the sug-
gestion of the pupils from their in-
terest in the annual fire prevention
posters. Periods of art work have
been devoted to the making of a min-
ature fire station and fire trucks.
Stories about fires have been told
by the children. An account of the
work bein gdone has been written
by the children. Future plans include
a first-aid demonstration for the
children by the members of the Ce-
lina fire department and a play by
the children.
Probably the high point in this
study was the explanation of the
parts of the fire truck to the child-
ren by G. C. Tate and Pete McKnight
who brought the hook and ladder
truck to the school. They told the
children how to protect themselves
in case they were caught in a burn-
ing building and how to help others
in such an emergency.

Elbert R. Hill’s Body
Buried Here Saturday
Elbert R. Hill, 58 years old, died
at his home in Dallas last Thursday
of heart trouble, from which he had
suffered for some months.
The body was brought to Celina
by the Helms Funeral Home and the
funeral was conducted at the First
Baptist Church at 2 p. m. Saturday
by the Rev. LeRoy M. Anderson,
pastor of the First Christian Church,
assisted by the Rev. W. J. Epting,
the Rev. L. T. Grumbles and the Rev.
O. M. Turner.
Following the church service the
body was conveyed to Celina Ceme-
tery and consigned to the earth in
the presence of a large number of
relatives and friends.
Mr. Hill, a former citizen of Ce-
lina, is survived by his wife and
three children, Alfred, Clarence and
Dorothy, all residing in Dallas and
all at the parental home with the
exception of Alfred.
Mrs. Hill, before marriage was
Miss Lulu Dutton, daughter of a
well-known McKinney couple. Her
father died some years ago. She is
a sister of Mrs. Jim Milligan, who
lives west of Celina.
Besides the wife arid children Mr.
Hill leaves two brothers, Will and
Walter Hill, of Oklahoma, and two
sisters whose names the Record
failed to learn.
Mrs. Carl Grace Writes
From Knoxville, Tenn.
Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 10, 1935.—
Editor Celina Record: Since it is inir
possible to be in Celina just now, I
thought I’d visit by letter for a
while.
When we left Celina nearly two
and a half years ago quite a number
of 'people asked us to inquire for Cal
Stewart and let them know what had
become of him. So we have just this
week, through Carl’s visiting an un-
cle at Newport, Tenn., learned that
Mr. Stewart died at the home of his
brother, Sam Stewart, near New-
port, in the latter part of 1933 of
flu and pneumonia. Mr. Stewart will
be remembered by almost everyone
in Celina. He was employed at the
Cunningham gin for a number of
years.
Mr. Andrews, do not fail to send
US a reminder before our subscrip-
tion is out for the Record, for if the
paper fails to be in Monday’s mail
we are a blue family until it makes
its appearance. Sometimes wc tear
the pages in two so we can each read
it. Sounds funny, I know, but try
being away from home two or three
years and you’ll learn to appreciate
the home paper more.
I wish it were possible for you
people to visit the Smokies and the
Norris Dam. Visitors from every
state and almost every country have
seen the Norris Dam, which is near-
ing completion. The building of this
dam has brought back prosperity to
a certain extent to Knoxville and the
surrounding territory.
I must stop now, but if you do not
mind printing it, I’d like to write
again and tell about the Palm Beach
suit plant where I am employed
along with twelve hundred others.
Best regards to you and the readers.
Mrs. Carl Grace.
Fat Hog Is Stolen
From Frank Bennett
A fat 400-pound hog was stolen
from the premises of Frank Bennett
half a mile south of town Tuesday
night.
The thieves backed a truck into the
barn lot and used a wagon bed that
was on the premises for a chute, put-
ting one end in the back end of the
truck and the other on the ground at
an exit in the inclosure where the
hog was kept.
Mr. Bennett was in town today
buying locks. ^
Mrs. B. F. Gearhart, who lives
about 500 yards from the Bennett
home heard the truck and arose and
looked out to see if thieves were af-
ter her chickens. The street lights
in Celina, which are turned off at
midnight, were still burning when
Mrs. Gearhart heard the truck.
Later, after the lights had been
turned off, W. J. Gearhart, another
neighbor arose to see about his
sheep and found one of Mr. Ben-
nett’s mules on his premises. Mr.
Bennett thought the mule was stol-
en until informed of its whereabouts.
Beautification Pian
Is Inaugurated
Under the direction of Mrs. Geo.
Jenkins, chairman of the local Cen-
tennial Beautification Committee, the
committee met Wednesday morning
to complete plans for beauification
work to be done here.
Lee Hedgecoxe, McKinney nursery-
man, met with the committee and
mapped the landscape of the grounds
behind the business houses on the
west side of the square. These plans
provide for the tranforming of this
plot into a place of beauty.
There is to be a driveway of grav-
el just behind the buildings, which
is to be bordered by a hedge with
beds of various kinds of flowers, just
west of the hedge. A portion of the
plot will be converted into a lawn,
with rose bushes bordering the south
end.
Those attending the meeting were
Mesdames J. W. Chapman, Lee Owns-
by, Lee Newsom, Harry Uthoff, Tom
Glendenning, San\ Patrick, Mayor
Francis and Mr. Hedgecoxe.M

Mrs. Glendenning told of the pur-
pose of the program, giving to each
and everyone an opportunity to help
in the great work carried out thru^
out the world. Mrs. Clifford Mc-
Knight’s junior chorus sang a group
of songs beautifully. The MacDowell
State News Briefs
quartet, consisting of Mrs. Jenkins,
Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Patrick and Mrs.
Willock, sang “Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot.” Miss Alta Newsom accom-
panied both groups. Mrs. Glenden-
ning introduced the local chairman,
Mrs. Jones, who introduced the guest
speaker, Mr. W. S. Smith of McKiri'-
ney, county chairman of the Red
Cross.
Mr. Smith has been active in the
work for eighteen yeai’s and is sin-
cere and earnest in his enthusiasm.
He told in some detail of the work
—128 disasters in the United States
alone were helped.by the. Red Cross
last year. In one ■ \yeek fourteen
states had thirty-eight disasters,
victims of which received the ever-
ready* help of the Red Cross.

Mrs. Eldon Bilderback
Injured in Collision
Mrs. Eldon Bilderback sustained a
severe cut on the forehead about
6:30 Tuesday night at the Bill Owns-
by corner north of Celina. Mrs. Bil-
derback was brought to Celina and
four stitches taken to close the
wound. She lost a great deal of
blood and was in a weakened condi-
tion when she reached town.
Mr. Bilderback, who lives north-
east of town, said he and his wife
had started to the home of his wife’s
mother and their lights went out. He
had decided to stop and try to fix
them and, if he failed, return home.
But before he got to where he in-
tended to stop a car occupied by
Glenn Philips and Dudley Wilson
came in from a side road without
lights and the crash followed.
Both cars were pretty badly dam-
aged, but none of the others involv-
ed was injured with the exception
of a few slight scratches.
J. W. Eller’s Death
At Clovis Announced
Mrs. C. F. Wilson received a tele-
gram Wednesday stating that her
uncle, J. W. Eller, had just died at
his home at Clovis, N. M., and that
burial would be at Clovis at 2:30
this afternoon.
Mr. Eller was past 70 years old.
He formerly lived in the Cottage
Hill community and was later en-
gaged in the grocery business here.
He is survived by his wife, three
daughters and two sons.
Joe Roundtree, 60, Lake Worth
camp operator, had vowed he would
never hand over money to a hijacker.
Last week-end two men entered his
place and demanded his money.
Roundtree made a dive for his pistol
and was slugged. He got away and
dashed into the house next door for
his shotgun. When he returned the
men were gone, taking only Round-
tree’s pistol.
Tony M. Palumbo, assistant dis-
trict attorney in Dallas, and Fred
T. Bradberry, Dallas deputy sheriff,
were indicted by the grandjury for
accepting bribes. Both resigned.
The next state meeting of the Bap-
tist Churches will be held at Mineral
Wells.
The old-age pension bill was pass-
ed by the legislature Friday and that
body is working frantically to pro-
vide some kind of tax to raise the
funds for payment of the pension.
The vote was not sufficient to put
the law into effect at once and it
will be ninety days until it is oper-
ative.

A mob took two negro youths, Er-
nest Collins, 15, and Bennie Mitchell,
16, from officers near Columbus
Tuesday night and hanged them to
a tree. C. D. Marmion, 33, Episcopal
rector, climbed atop an automobile
and pleaded with the mob to let the
law take its course, but desisted
when someone cried, “Get another
rope.” The youths admitted attack-
ing and afterward drowning Miss
Geraldine Kollman, valedictorian of
Columbus High School. The action of
the mob is denounced by high offi-
cials, but County Attorney Moore
said he considered the action of those
who hanged the negroes an expres-
sion of the will of the people.
about becoming “room members.” A
junior Red Cross idea was started.
It was a truly worthwhile hour for
all who attended.
Red Cross posters are to be placed
in the business district of the town,
the Celina Record office showing a
Red Cross window.'
Anyone desiring to cooperate in
this work either by becoming a mem-
ber or donating will prease see Mrs.
Tuck Jones or Mrs. J. W. Chapman

fice and leave name and money. Any
donation will be gladly received. One
dollar entitles one to a membership
card, but every donation will receive
a Red Cross button. Lets have every
home in Celina represented in this
Red Cross roll-call. Next week names
of members and donors will appear
in the columns of the Record. : •.
Ministers of the various churches
will give the drive publicity ■ from
their pulpits Sunday, explaining the
giving of membership cards and but-
tons. ‘ *
Two girls dressed as Red Cross
nurses will be present at each church
next Sunday to receive memberhi’p
fees and donations.
Three men, J. D. and Sam Starnes
of McKinney and Exie Reed of Dal-
las, were arrested at the Starnes
home in McKinney Sunday midnight,
charged with robbery with firearms.
The charge specifies that the men
took a truck and its cargo of cigar-
ets from an Oklahoma man near Ar-
gyle and took the driver to a point
near Lake Dallas and left him
bound. The truck was found aban-
doned near Frisco on Nov. 6, the day
following the robbery. Another man
wanted in connection with the rob-
bery is being sought.
