ON the Record
By BENNIE O’BRIEN

The red ant extermination meth-
od we printed last week was
said by a local druggist to be
probably a good one. It has only
one serious defect—Paris green, an
old-fashioned arsenical prepara-
tion, is no longer commonly avail-
able. Neither is London purple,
which was once thought to be
about the only thing that would
kill mites in the chicken house.
The world do move—even poisons
get out of style and have their
places taken by new ones.

Mysterious tufts of cotton have
appeared fastened to screen doors
in Celina recently, and inquiry has
brought out the information that
the cotton is thjre to keep flies
away. The theory is that the flies
mistake the cotton for spider webs
and make themselves scarce for
fear of their ancient enemy—the
spider. Some folks say it works.
While we are on the subject of
flies, it might do to say they ap-
pear to be more numerous this
year than at any time in many
seasons. A concerted cleanup and
weed-cutting in Celina is indicat-
ed. Town-wide DDT sprayings
have been the fashion in some
places, but if a community is kept
clean and free of weeds and grass,
there’s no need for this. Flies are
never numerous in a clean com-
munity. Let’s maintain Celina’s
reputation as one of the cleanest
and neatest small towns in Texas.
*
Drivers of trucks which bring
bakery products to Celina in the
early morning report two large
tornadoes passing over town about
4:30 a. m. last Thursday. Incident-
ally, what has happened to the
old-timer who no sooner had
built his house than he started
digging a storm cellar? There
once was a time when anybody
who could raise $100 had a good
storm cellar handy to his back
door. Inside the cellar was, of
course, a coal oil lamp and an axe.
The latter was to be used in chop-
ping your way out if the house
blew over on the cellar door while
you were inside.
If somebody would undertake
nowadays to sell storm cellars on
the installment plan—like tele-
vision sets— he might develop a
nice, profitable business. The diffi-
culty would lie in repossessing
the thing when the buyer failed to
meet his installments.
☆
Two quotations, one from Lenin,
the “father” of Russian Commun-
ism, the other from Senator Byrd
of Virginia, assume a deep signi-
ficance when they are set in juxta-
position.
The Lenin quote:
“We shall force the United
States to spend itself into de-
struction.”
What Senator Byrd said:
“It takes the government exact-
ly one second to spend all the Fed-
eral taxes paid by a man with a
wife and two children, earning
$12,000 a year.”
You may draw your own con-
clusions.
Mrs. Eldon Earthman and two
daughters, Peggy Sue and Martha
Ann of Dallas, and Mr. and Mrs.
W. O. Silk of Frisco are spending
the week with their father, A. T.
Finley, while Mr. and Mrs. P. D.
Williams, who live in the Finley
home, are taking their vacation.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams plan to
visit Mr. and Mrs. Tom J. Finley
and little daughter of Clovis, N.
M., and then go to the mountains.
Mr. and Mrs. M. U. Duncan of
Aubrey, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Perry
and two daughters of Gainesville,
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Kirkland of
McKinney, and Mr. and Mrs. Mart
Winn and two children of Fort
Worth were at the home of Sib
Stone and Mrs. Joe Short and Mrs.
Tom Winn Sunday afternoon.
Miss Nancilu Silk arrived Sat-
urday at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Silk of Frisco,
former Celinaites, from North Tex-
as State College, Denton, where
she was enrolled as a student dur-
ing the recently completed term.
She has accepted a job in Dallas
for the summer, and plans to con-
tinue her college work next fall.
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mallone,
Mrs. S. G. McKnight, and Mrs. T.
M. Hughes Jr., and daughter Terry
of Celina were guests Monday and
Tuesday of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tur-
ner at College Station. Mrs. Mc-
Knight, who is employed by the
First National Bank in Pilot Point,
has been taking her vacation.
Mr. and Mrs. Baxter Edwards
of Fort Worth, Mrs. Irvin Thur-
man and Mrs. Mildred Spradley of
Plano visited Mr. and Mrs. Jeff
Lee and Murphy Lee Sunday and
attended the funeral of Mrs. Frank
Perkins at Cottage Hill.
Homecoming
Crowd Totals
More Than 250
About 250 {graduates, ex-stu-
dents, and ex-teachers of Celina
High School, and their families
and friends enjoyed a day of visit-
ing with old friends and acquaint-
ances in a homecoming at the Ce-
lina school building Sunday.
The exes began to arrive at
about 10:00 a. m., and by noon the
gymnasium was filled with people
rushing about from one old friend
to another, their faces wearing
broad smiles as they greeted old
schoolmates and teachers they
hadn’t seen in 25 years or more. On
all sides people were hugging, kiss-
ing, backslapping and shaking
hands.
Here and there one of the cele-
brants would edge up to another
with a quizzical look in his eye and
say, “I know you, darn you, but I
can’t call your name.” One man
walked up to his first cousin
whom he hadn’t seen in years, and
whom he didn’t know from Adam,
stuck out his hand and said,
“Greenwood is my name.” It was
Gene Greenwood of Austin, intro-
ducing himself to his cousin,
Lionel Greenwood, Huntsville, Ala-
bama. The latter probably enjoys
the distinction of having traveled
the longest distance to attend the
affair, having driven Saturday and
Saturdady night from Alabama.
Following a covered dish lunch-
eon in the gym at noon, a short
program was held at 2:00 p. m., at
which time the welcome address
was given by the Rev. Vernie
S. Pipes, a former student of CHS,
who recently returned here as pas-
tor of the Baptist Church after be-
ing away for years. Response to
Mr. Pipes’ address was given by
Dr. T. F. Richardson, a former
superintendent of Celina schools
who is now a member of the fac-
ulty of Texas Christian Universi-
ty in Fort Worth. A song, “Hills
of Home,” by Mrs. Guy Bunch,
accompanied by Miss Alta New-
som, and a piano duet by Miss
Newsom and Mrs. Winona Corne-
lius, was also included in the pro-
gram, as was a short memorial
service during which a prayer was
led by Miss Georgia Newsom of
Fort Worth, a member of the 1908
graduating class. Bennie O’Brien,
editor of The Record, acted as
master of ceremonies.
At a business session, the group
voted to form a permanent asso-
ciation of ex-students and gradu-
ates, which would arrange for a
homecoming at Celina each year,
on the second Sunday in June. Mrs.
H. C. Uthoff, Celina, was elected
president of the association, and
Mrs. Jim Glendenning, Celina, was
named vice-president. The presi-
dent and vice-president will ap-
point a secretary, and committees
to help arrange for next year’s
homecoming, and an even larger
group is expected to be on hand in
June, 1953.
Calls Dance In New Mexico
Harper Smith Jr., local laundry-
man who spends most of his
spare time calling square dances,
and who has acquired a reputation
as one of the area’s foremost call-
ers, flew to Santa Fe, N. M., Sat-
urday, ^nd that evening called a
dance at Broken Arrow Ranch at
Pojoaque, N. M., 20 miles from
Santa Fe. The guest ranch is an
elaborate affair recently opened
by a Pojoaque dentist, who has
selected 12 of the nation’s fore-
most callers to call dances at his
ranch during the summer season.
Four of the callers are Texas men,
including Smith, and his brother,
Raymond Smith, Dallas, a former
Celinaite.
Real Estate Transfers
Ken Massey et ux., to W. W.
Kindle, lot in Celina, $650.00.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill R. Perkins
and Mrs. N. T. Johnson, all of Dal-
las, visited Mr. and Mrs. Clell
Perkins recently. Mrs. Johnson
spent ten days in the Perkins’
home, and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Per-
kins spent last Sunday there.
Bob J. Ward, son of Mr. and
Mrs. S. E. Ward of Celina, writes
his parents that he is to be given
a 30-day leave from the Navy in
July. He is aboard a submarine,
the USS Croaker. He has been in
the Navy about two years.
Mrs. A. S. Klinglesmith of Ce-
lina spent la^t week in Denton
with Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Collins.
The Collins announced the arrival
of a son, Don Warren, born May
28. Mrs. Collins is a daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Klinglesmith.
Guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. H.
Groves over the week-end were
Mrs. Mark Russell and son, Eddie
of McKinney, Gene McWhirter of
Houston, and A-3c James Groves
of Sheppard Air Force Base, in
Wichita Falls.
Freak Accident Strips
Celina Man of Clothing
Walter Greenwood, Celina, es-
caped with his life Tuesday about
2:30 when his clothing became en-
tangled in a power take-off while
working with a combine, but when
he was finally freed there remain-
ed on him only one shoe and a
sock on each foot. All the remain-
der of*his clothing was wrapped
around the power take-off shaft.
The accident occured on the
farm of L. W. Terrell, north of Ce-
lina. Mr. Greenwood was helping
Mr. Terrell combine his grain
crop and was standing on the plat-
form behind a tractor which was
being used to run the combine
when his clothing became entangled
in the shaft, which runs at a
speed of 535 r. p. m.. Only a mo-
ment or two was required for the
machine to strip him of his cloth-
ing and toss him aside. He suffer-
ed several fractured ribs, a badly
bruised shoulder, abrasions and
bruises over his body. His face
remained comparatively unhurt,
though there was a cut on the
back of his head.
Eldon Bilderback, who delivers
gasoline for Douglas & Son, was
at the farm to make a delivery,
and helped Mr. Terrell get some
clothing on the injured man and
get him off to the McKinney hos-
pital, where he remains.

Accidents Rife j
In Community
This Week
Murphy Lee, Celina farmer, suf-
fered a badly mangled right hand
Tuesday afternoon when the hand
was caught between a pulley and
a v-belt on a combine while he was
working in his grain field west of
Cottage Hill.
He was brought to a local phy-
sician whose treatment of the in-
jured hand required about three
hours. No bones were broken, but
all of the ligaments were badly
torn and the member was severely
lacerated. Though the wound was
painful and will incapacitate Mr.
Lee for some time, it is believed
the hand did not suffer permanent
damage.
Like many other farmers, Mr.
Lee was very busy getting out his
grain crop when the accident oc-
cured, and his injury will greatly
inconvenience him.
Another accident last week
claimed as its victim Mrs. H. B.
Rigsby, Celina, Rt. 1, whose right
hand was badly hurt when it was
caught in a wringer while she was
doing the family wash at the
Smith Laundry here.
Although no bones were broken,
the hand was literally burst open
in the palm, and the nerves badly
crushed before it could be extri-
cated from the wringer. The acci-
dent occured Wednesday, and Mrs.
Rigsby was treated by a Celina
physician.
A. D. Harvell, 13, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. D. Harvell, west of Ce-
lina, was treated by a local phy-
sician Thursday of last week for a
severe cut on one of his feet. The
wound, which required seven
stitches to close, was sustained
when the lad, playing on a bed
with some other boys, kicked out
a window glass.
Still another young victim was
David Merritt, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Homer Merritt. David and
his brother, Mike, were hoeing in
the garden Saturday when David
stooped to pull a carrot. Mike’s
hoe by accident struck David in
the left elbow, inflicting a two-inch
gash.
Ladies’ Aid Entertained
Mrs. D. L. Stiles entertained
members of the Ladies Aid So-
ciety of the First Christian
Church in her home Monday even-
ing with Mrs. Edwin Stiles as co-
hostess. The devotional was given
by Mrs. D. L. Stiles and Mrs. R. E.
L. Miller offered a prayer. The
second in a series of studies on the
book, “So Sure of Life”, was given
by Mrs. Bennie O’Brien. After a
period of diversion, refreshments
of ice cream and cookies were
served to seven members and Mrs.
Ben Lankford and Mrs. C. M.
Moore.
Insect Population High,
Warns County Agent
Cotton insect population through-
out the cotton producing area is
extremely high, thrips and flea-
hoppers are plentiful and as high
as 135 boll weevil per acre have
been found already in Central
Texas. Farmers in Collin county
are urged by County Agent A. S.
Milikien, to get an application of
insecticide on their cotton during
the week of June 16-21. These
should both be the heavy applica-
tions as recommended in the Cot-
ton Insect Control Guide for boll
weevil. Milikien says that he has
inspected dozens of cotton fields
over the county and that all of
them are being damaged by thrips,
where they have not been con-
trolled.
Two early applications of in-
secticides made between now and
the 21st of June may mean the
difference between a good cotton
crap and a poor one.
Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Lovett of
Fort Worth were Sunday guests of
Mrs. E. P. Mize, and Mr. and Mrs.
Jimmie Mize.
