Local Dairy
Judges Win
Fifth Place
A dairy judging team composed
of four Celina high school FFA
boys, Bobby Bell, James Groves,
Dwayne Morin and Sammy Powell’
entered a judging contest at the’
Houston Fat Stock Show last Sat
urday and emerged with fifth
place honors in a field of 70 other
teams.
The boys left Celina Friday
morning and went to Houston via.
Texas A. & M. College at College
Station, where they did some prac-
tice judging before going on to
Houston for the Saturday contest.
The Celina team scored 920 points
out of a possible 1050, the Prince-
ton team winning first place with
942 points.
The Celina boys also made good
individual scores, Bobby Bell mak-
ing a score of 20 and registering
sixteenth high individual out of
more than 200 boys. A score of
23 would have won him a regis-
tered Jersey heifer. Dwayne Morin
was twentieth in the entire field.
Accompanying the team was J.
R. Mcllroy, CHS vocational agri-
culture teacher, under whose di-
rection the boys made such an ex-
cellent record.

WESTON NEWS
By Mary M. Button
Miss Helen Ruth* Smith and her

lished an account of the wedding j Smith’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dee
of Lt. and Mrs. Stone in Califoi- i Snxith. .
nia. They will visit relatives here! Mrs* Laura Drew, who formerly
'heriff Levi Brawley said today
that a McKinney physician had
found no evidence of foul play in
the death of a Negro woman whose
body was discovered Tuesday
morning in a ditch on highway
289, north of Celina. He said that
he had received no verdict on an
inquest conducted by Coroner Abe
Gearhart. Gearhart was out of
town Thursday.
The body, discovered about 7:00
a. m. in the ditch at the south side
of the highway about 100 yards
west of the railway crossing near
Alla school, was identified by a
McKinney undertaker as that of
Laura Casey, 35 or 40 years old,
McKinney. Brawley said the Mc-
Kinney doctor found no marks of
violence on the body.
The dead woman was barefooted
when found, and there was some
evidence that she had struggled in
the muddy ditch for some distance
before she fell. What was believed
to have been her tracks were found
in the ditch as far south as the
North Texas gin, on the edge of
Celina.
Allan Willard, Lewis Robinson
and Paul O’Brien discovered the
body when they passed on their
way to work on electric lines of
the Grayson-Collin Electric Co-op-
erative.
Euclid was wrong. A straight
line is not necessarily the short-
est distance between two points.
Mrs. U. S. Johnson of the Lone
Star community can testify to
that.
Mrs. Johnson, in Celina Wed-
nesday, told The Record she was
forced by the impassable road
between Weston and Celina to
come to Celina by way of Wes-
ton, Anna, Van Alstyne and Gun-
ter.
Weston is about eight miles
northeast of Celina, Lone Star
two or three miles north of Wes-
ton. The long way around that
Mrs. Johnson was obliged to
travel is some 25 or 30 miles out
of the way.
“We hope something will be
done about that road before
long,” said Mrs. Johnson.
To which many other people
will reply, “Amen!”

Southwest Farm Markets
Swift recovery from earlier
losses featured most southwest
farm markets during the past
week, the U. S. Department'of Ag-
riculture’s Production and Mar-
keting Administration reports.
Despite sharp breaks early last
week, later gains brought corn and
reilo prices 7 to 12 cents higher
Monday than a week earlier, and
wheat and oats 3 to 5 cents up.
No. 2 yellow corn closed around
$1.55 to $1.56 at Texas common
points, white corn $1.65 to $1.68,
milo $2.57 to $2.62, and No. 1
wheat $2.39 to $2.44.
Southwest livestock markets
generally moved rapidly from
heavy receipts and sharply lower
prices, early last week to lighter
offerings and rising values late
last week and early this week
Wholesale dressed meat followed
the same pattern.
Most cattle classes failed to re-
cover all the early losses, and
closed Monday 50 cents to $1.50
below a week earlier. However,
canner and cutter cows showed
net gains at some markets. These
grades rahged frdm $12.50’to $16
at Houston; $12 tcr $14.50 at San
Antonio, $11 to $16 at Fort Worth,
$13 to $14.50 at Oklahoma City,
and $14 to $15.50 at Denver.
Most butcher hogs closed Mon-
day about the same as a week be-
fore, but sows lost $1 or more. Top
butchers reached $18.25 at San An-
tonio, $19.50 at Fort Worth, $20
at Oklahoma City, and $21.25 at
Denver. Sows ranged from $14 to
$16.
Sheep closed the week little
changed. Good wooled lambs sold
Monday up to $21.50 at San An-
tonio, $22 at Fort Worth, $21 at
Oklahoma City, and $23.50 at Den-
ver.
Wool contracting in Texas in-
creased this week at higher prices.
Twelve-months wools averaged
around 76 cents a pound, and 8
months wools 60 cents, grease bas-
is. Mohair buying also picked up,
with adult at 41 cents a pound and
kid 75.
Milled rice markets weakened
some, although long-grained rough
rices held firm. Many feed prices
dropped to lower levels during the
week. Hay sold steady to strong,
bolstered by emergency demand in
aras of winter storms. Peanut
prices remained unchanged to firm
despite slow demand.
Return of sunshine to the low-
er Rio Grande valley revealed se
vere damage to beets, lettuce and
citrus fruits, and lesser damage to
carrots and cabbage. Orange and
grapefruit shipments may end
about March 1. Canning plants are
using as much of the fruit as pos-
sible. As shipments of cabbage in-
creased, prices worked lower, but
spinach and broccoli worked low
er. Steady markets remained for
Louisiana sweet potatoes and Col
orado potatoes and onions.
Eggs and poultry still showed a
weak undertone, but prices changed
little.
Cotton overcame early losses for
net gains of around $2.50 a bale.
Spot middling 15/16-inch closed
Monday at 32.25 cents a pound at
Dallas and 32.50 at Houston and

Tenant Chosen
Celina Gets
Fire Credit
Fire record charges and credits
announced by the State Insurance
Department this week give Celina
a 5 per cent credit effective March
1. Last year’s rating put Celina in
the neutral class. Year before last
Celinaites paid a 5 per cent charge
on their fire insurance policy pre-
miums.
Celina’s key rate remains at 31
cents—one of the lowest in the
state for towns of comparable
size. Prosper’s key rate is 95 cents,
Gunter’s is 95 cents, and Frisco’s,
59 cents.
Prosper will enjoy a 25 per cent
credit (the maximum credit allow-
able) this year, Gunter will suffer
15 per cent charge, and Frisco
will remain in the neutral bracket.
Wharton Takes Over
Frigidaires From Kissner
It was announced this week that
the Wharton Appliance Store, Mc-
Kinney, had taken over the fran-
chise for Frigidaire appliances in
•Celina, and had appointed Norris
Radio and Electric sub-dealer here
for these appliances. A compre-
hensive stock of the Frigidaire
line is now on display at the Nor-
ris store here.
J. R. Wharton, owner of the
Wharton store in McKinney, said
in Celina Tuesday that he and Mr.
Norris would maintain a good
stock of Frigidaires and Frigidaire
appliances here, and that prompt
and efficient service on the appli-
ances would be given.
L. Kissner, owner of the Feder-
ated Stores in Celina and McKin-
ney, who had owned the Frigfdaire
franchise here for the last 12
years, said he was giving up the
line only because he felt he could
not devote as much time to- it as
would be necessary, since he has
acquired another store at McKin-
ney. He states his views more ful-
ly in an advertisement in this is-
sue of The Record. A large ad of
the Wharton store will also be
found in this issue.
Announcement has been made
by the Collin County Soil Conser-
vation District Board of Supervi-
sors that Charles Tarvin, a 29-
year-old tenant farmer living three
miles east of McKinney, has been
selected from several applicants to
operate the model conservation
farm owned by the district. Ac-
cording to A. L. Gambrell, chair-
man of the Board, the selection
was very difficult because of the
high quality of all the applicants.
After the big field day planned
for next September the tenant will
take over the farm and operate it
on a long-term rental agreement.
Contrary to popular belief it will
not be experimental but will be
operated much as any other black-
land farm should be operated. A
complete program of soil and wat-
er conservation will, of course, be
carried out. Field days will be held
periodically on the farm to observe
the progress made as the farm is
changed from a liability as it is at
present into a productive farm.
Charles Tarvin was selected as
the operator from a list of several
applicants. He has planned most
of his life to be a farmer. It start-
ed back in his days at McKinney
High School when he was taking
vocational agriculture under J. T.
Rollins. After two years of voca-
tional agriculture and graduation
from high school in 1939, Charles
started out renting land from his
father. He continued to farm un-
til he was inducted into the U. S.
Army July 1, 1942. In the Army
Charles served with the 394th
Bombardment Group, spending 19
months in the United States and
19 months overseas in England,
France, Belgium and Germany. He
was discharged in 1945 and came
back to Collin County immediately
on separation.
Since discharge from the Army
Charles has been farming 150
acres of land belonging to his
father and milking 10 to 12 head
of dairy cattle most of the time.
At present in addition to farming
he is enrolled in the Collin Coun-
ty vocational school in the class

The Tarvin family consists of
Charles, his 25-year-old wife Mar-
garet, and two daughters Charlsie,
six years old, and Tonya Kay, six
months.
The rental contract on the farm
is being worked out on a one-third
and one-fourth basis for crops and
a half-and-half basis for livestock.
The contract will also be ' on a
model basis, as the supervisors
feel that one of the big needs is
better tenant and landlord rela-
tionship and longer rental agree
ments that would encourage ten-
ants to be more interested in car-
rying out conservation practices on
rented land.

STARVATION BREAKFAST.
Pauline
R. L. Pettit of Gunter has re-
cently been employed by Kindle’s
grocery and he and Mrs. Pettit ex-
pect to move to Celina by March 1.
Charles Manes of Beaumont
spent last week-end here with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Manes.
Mr. and Mrs. Ores Thomason
and son, Eddie, have this week
moved into their new home on the
A. J. Malone farm northwest of
Celina. The Thomason family lost
their home and possessions by
fire early in December and had
been making their home with Mr.
and Mrs. Guy Bunch during co
struction of the new house.
Mr. and Mrs. George Pace Jr.
and daughter of Athens, Texas,
spent Wednesday here with Mr.
and Mrs. J. D. Manes and family.
The behavior findings at the
University of Minnesota concern-
ing the effects of semi-starvation
diets, confirm the countryman’s
opinions about the breakfast situa-
tion. The doctors in charge of the
experiments have released their
findings on the psychological ef-
fects of lack of food. It all comes
down to the fact that lack of fod-
der induces personality changes
that resemble psychoneurosis and
premature old age.
We will grant without argumerlt
that certain political and economic
happenings are enough to give
anyone a neurosis; there are go-
ings-on that might well make a
man feel old before his time. How-
ever, the increasing tendency to
skip breakfast as an honest meal
has profound implications. The
doctors discovered that lack of
food made people irritable, social-
ly withdrawn, artificially polite
and that social interaction became
stilted. Humor and high morale
just sort of dried up. On a starva-
tion diet, men who had a good cul-
tural background actually licked
the dishes.
It all points up to the fact that
since 70 per cent of the world’s
work, mental and physical, is done
before lunch, we need a renaissance
of old-fashioned breakfasts. Give
a man a big baked Northern Spy
apple with plenty of cream, a dish
of oatmeal mixed with raisins, two
fried eggs and a piece of ham or a
few slices of bacon, and a wedge of
apple pie, and the shenanigans of
the contemporary era fall into
half-acceptable perspective.
