CELINA, TEXAS, THURSDAY, MAY <1952
•iiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiii i mi mm iitf itiitm<
ON the Record
By BENNIE O’BRIEN
■1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1IIIIII1III1II1IIIIIIIIIIII
Celina croquet players are
down-in-the-mouth bunch this
week. Their favorite croquet
court was on the lots bought by
Perry & Rucker just west of the
Ritz theatre, and on which they
are going to build a new store
building. A bulldozer has already
cleared the spot where the croquet
court lay.
This spot has been a croquet
or tennis court for more years
than the writer can remember.
When he was in high school in
Celina, he played tennis on the
court that was there at that time.
And just west of the tennis
court on the same lot was the ga-
rage of “Uncle Joe” Sticht. Uncle
Joe loved boys, and the boys loved
him. There was always a gang of
them hanging around the garage,
and he never got tired of them.
Uncle Joe was a mechanic of the
old school. He knew internal com
bustion engines inside and out and
could fix ’em when nobody else
could. If he didn’t have the part he
needed for the job at hand, he
made it. He could make anything-
out of metal or wood—it made no
difference to him. He liked to
work with his hands, and he liked
to sit and deal out his honest,
homespun philosophy, too.
Uncle Joe some years ago re-
tired to a farm up near Sherman,
and the writer, who was one of the
boys who pestered him, imagines
that he’s haying a good time now-
adays fishing on Texoma.
☆
Celina will be the loser next
week when Mr. and Mrs. F. B.
Cornelius move to Moran, Shackel-
ford county, where Mr. Cornelius
has been appointed executive offi-
cer of the Moran National Bank.
Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius have
made many friends here since they
came to Celina in 1945. As vice-
president of The First State Bank
here, “Corny” has endeared him-
self to Celina people by his gentle
manner and his genuine friendli-
ness and unfailing good nature.
We are all sorry to see them go.
☆
Celinaites should look forward
with pleasant anticipation to Lynn
Landrum’s speech at an open meet-
ing of the Boosters’ club here on
June 13.
Landrum, who is known far and
wide as an outspoken columnist
- dri The Dallas News, writes wifn
No Fireworks
At Convention
Tuesday’s county convention at
McKinney was marked by more
harmony than any convention in
the county’s history, according to
reports of Celina delegates. Its
business was concluded in short-
ly more than an hour Tuesday
morning.
The convention adopted with un-
animity and with no dissention
resolutions endorsing the nomina-
tion of Sam Rayburn for presi-
dent, the instructing of the county
delegation to the San Antonio
state convention to vote for an un-
instructed delegation to the na-
tional convention, and the instruct-
ing of the delegation to the state
convention to vote as a unit.
Proposals in resolutions c
mittee to submit a loyalty pledge
died a-borning when anti-adminis-
tration forces, outnumbering New
Deal Democrats, threatened to
beat the measure on the floor.
Chairman Phil Wolford an-
nounced that each precinct was al-
lotted one vote at the county meet-
ing for each 25 votes cast in thd"
last governor’s race, bringing to
8 the total number of votes. Pre-
cinct 1, Northwest McKinney, is
the largest box in the county with
six votes; Box 27, Wylie, and 44,
North McKinney, have four votes
each; Boxes 5, Allen; 12, South
Farmersville; 23, West Plano, and
4G, South Celina, have three each;
Boxes 3, Southeast McKinney; 4,
Northeast McKinney; 9, Princeton;
11, North Farmersville; 16, Me-
lissa; 17, Anna; 20, Weston; 22,
North Celina; 29, Prosper; 30,
Frisco; 37, Blue Ridge; 45, South
McKinney, and 47, East Plano,
had two each. The other precincts
qualified for one vote each.
Demo Precinct Conventions
Send Uninstructed Groups
Celina Democrats sent delegates
to the county convention at Mc-
Kinney Tuesday which were un-
instructed save to vote as a unit.
In the north box precinct conven-
tion here Saturday seven partici-
pated. They were W. O. Rolater,
Hugh B. Peterman, Howard Lo-
gan, and R. G. Martin. Mr. Rola-
ter, Mr. Peterman, Mr. Logan and
Mr. Martin were delegates to the
Tuesday county convention.
Participants in the South Celina
Democratic precinct convention
Saturday were Sam Bateman, J.
V. Greer, Mrs. Clifford King, C.
B. Johnson, Mrs. Lee Newsom,
Mrs. Alex Glendenning and Mrs.
Madonna Pace. This convention
sent three delegates to McKinney,
Mr. Bateman, Mr. Johnson and Mr.
Greer. This delegation, as was the
one from the north box, was unin-
structed, except it was stipulated
they should vote as a unit.
Celina Republicans held no con-
vention Saturday, it was learned.
an incisive clarity and a disarming
persuasiveness that is wonderful
to see.
Back in the thirties, Landrum
wrote editorials for the old Dallas
Journal and, one day while the
late Robert A. Jones and I
were in conversation, the subject
of Landrum’s editorials came up.
Mr. Jones, a Roosevelt adherent,
declared explosively that if I could
show him even one of Landrum’s
editorials favorable to the admin
istration, he’d eat the editorial
page—better than that, he’d eat a
whole copy of the Journal.
Remembering a recent Landrum
editorial which approved of some-
thing or other Roosevelt had done,
I wrote the columnist and asked
him to send a copy of the Journal
containing the editorial—that
had a man up here who was going
to eat it.
Landrum replied that he had a
better suggestion. He’d have a
chemist friend convert the paper
into glucose and use it to sweeten
a cake which would be the center-
piece at a little dinner in the Dal-
las News lunchroom—if Bob and I
would come down and help eat it.
After considerable persuasion on
my part, Bob agreed to go. At the
dinner were Landrum, Ted Dealey,
Jack Patton, Dallas News cartoon-
ist and others. Patton had drawn
a cartoon of Landrum and Jones
eating their words, and had made
a brass plaque of the drawing,
which was presented to Jones. A
half-page of story and pictures
of the affair appeared in the Jour-
nal, and the thing went over the
AP wire.
It. developed that Jones and
Landrum had gone to school to-
gether while boys in Whitewright,
and had lost touch with each other.
They reestablished their friendship
and the two families became fast
friends. The two men kept in
touch with each other frequently
until Bob’s death a year ago.
Still hanging on the wall above
Bob’s old roll-top desk at Jones
Pharmacy is the brass plaque made
from Patton’s drawing. Still in his
scrapbook are dozens of clippings
concerning the cake-eating affair
from newspapers all over the na-
tion.
And until a year or two before
Bob passed to his reward, a chunk
of the cake reposed in a box in his
desk drawer — fifteen years old,
hard as a rock, almost unrecogni-
zable. Bob finally sent it to Lan-
drum with a note asking him to
guess what it was.
Landrum needed but one guess.
Mrs. Joe Merritt and Mrs. Ike
Bennett have been employed by
the First State Bank here, and
will go to work May 12.
A guest this week of Mr. and
Mrs. George Meachum is 'Mrs.
Meachum’s cousin, Mrs. A. J.
Moore, of Oklahoma City. Mrs.
Meachum and Mrs. Moore visited
relatives in Dodd City Tuesday.

’eports on Club Activities
The Home Demonstration club
women in Collin County on check-
ing their many activities and
growth in Home Demonstration
club work discovered in National
Home Demonstration Week they
had made much progress through
the year and the years gone by in
the largest organization of rural
women in the world. Collin County
enrollment is over 400 strong
with 20 Home Demonstration
clubs. In Texas as a whole there
are 41,282 club women.
Mrs. Vi. H. Aiierf heads'
County Home Demonstration pro-
gram as president. Since the early
part of the year there have been
4 new clubs organized and 3
others requesting organization.
Mrs. L. A. Billings is Texas Home
Demonstration Association chair-
man for the Home Demonstration
club activities. Mrs. Billings re-
ports all the activities from the
state level to the local organiza-
tions as well as making reports of
the county activities of the state
committees. Mrs. Billngs serves as
parliamentarian of Home Demon-
stration club of Collin County.
During 1952 the Home Demon-
stration club women have made
fine leatherette purses, costs rang-
ing from $2 to $3. They are being
made of all sizes, shapes, and
colors, and have a professional
look.
The sewing machine project is
one that the club women are quite
pleased with. A treadle machine
can be electrified for a savings of
approximately $20.90 to the Home
Demonstration club women of the
county. This phase of home mak-
ing not only saves money but
saves the farm woman many
tiresome hours of treadling and
gives more time fo,r leisure and
making a happy home with their
family.
The Home Demonstration club
women have also stressed better
costuming and look your best
throughtout the year. The theory
of a well dressed woman in a hap-
py woman works
Family life has been one of
great importance with the Home
Demonstration club women of Col-
lin County. The club women have
strived to make their homes filled
with love and understanding as
well as comfort and convenience.
It has been learned that where we
love is home, home that our feet
may leave, but not our hearts.
Besides the major demonstra-
tions that the Collin County Home
Demonstration club women carry,
food preparation, gardening, food
preservation; both canning and
home freezing, have been of great
importance throughout the year,
The Home Demonstration club
women believe that living at home
is the only safe way to live, to in
crease the family income and hap-
piness at home.
Another important thing the
women have studied is getting a-
long with people. They are study-
ing to be better citizens from both
community, county, and state level.
Home Demonstration club women
are carring out good citizenship
through conducting worthwhile
projects for the betterment of
their local communities through
cemetery inprovement, church im-
provement, feeding and caring for
the sick, making visits to cheer the
sick, and giving Christmas gifts.
Many of the Home Demonstration
clubs of the county have given
gifts to the City and Veterans’
Hospital, served as Gray Ladies,
read for the veterans and shop for
them weekly.

club, together with the Rhythm
Band, will give a musical program

ents Teachers Association.
Four members of the club will

Garrett and Mrs. Joe Narris.
Look to Sanitation

With the ap,proa
City Is Well
In the Black
According to a financial state-
ment released this week, the .City
of Celina during its last fiscal
year ending April 30, spent $2
357.03 less than it received font
all sources. This, plus $5,f 8.28
balance at the beginning of tHfc fis-
cal year, leaves a balance in the
city treasury of $8,255.31.
Total receipts from all sources
reached $28,960.61. Largest single
source was from water sales,
which totaled $14,247.95. Ad val-
orem taxes for 1951 came next
with a total of $5,872.23. Other pi
major sources of income were sew-
er fees, which brought in $1,705,40,
and franchise taxes on utility
companies, with $1,148.38.
Largest item on the disburse-
ment side of the ledger was sala-
ries and wages, $10,231.10 going
for this purpose. Next largest was
an item of $3,940.00 for interest
on bonded debt and retirement of
1939 refunding bonds. For water
works supplies $2,328.74 was spent,
$1,391.28 for power and fuel, and
$1,057.48 for sewer tile and ex-
tention of 1,765 feet of sewtr
mains. Street lights cost the city
$900.22.
Celina is in an enviable condition
as far as its bonded debt in con-
cerned, compared to most cities.
The city owes a balance of only
$7,500.00 on a 1939 refunding bond
issue. These are the only bonds
outstanding. A payment of $3,-
500.00 is due on February 15, 1953,
and one of $4,000.00 on February
15, 1954. At that time, if no futh-
er bonds are issued in the mean-
time the city will be completely
out from under bonded debt.

OH Strike Thus Far
Affects Celina Little
According to local wholesale
agents for oil companies, the na-
tion-wide oil workers’ strike has af-
fected deliveries of oil products in
Celina imperceptibly. Fred Marks,
Sinclair agent, has on several oc-
casions in the last week found de
liveries slow, but regular ship-
ments are coming through.
S. G. McKnight, Magnolia agent,
said he had so far had no trouble
in getting deliveries.
A U. S. Government order on
Tuesday prohibits delivery or pur-
chase of automotive gasoline, ker-
osene, distillates (including diesel
fuel), and residual fuel oils to any
lerson if he has at least ten days’
equirements of these products on
hand.
No abnormal demand for gaso-
line or fuel oils has developed in
Celina, either from tractor users
or motorists.
portant, aceordin;
W. Cox, State Hi
At this season of tbe year your
State Health Department puts
special emphasis on a cleanup de
signed primarily for the two-fold
purpose of elimination of flies and
rats. These two health hazards can
be controlled only through sanita-
ry practices. Places where they
feed and breed and rest must be
destroyed.
The common house fly has dem-
onstrated that it can spread more
than 20 human diseases. Some of
the more serious are typhoid fe-
ver, diarrhea and dysentery. They
have also been implicated in the
spread of polio. Rats and mice have
been accused in the spreading of
20 to 30 diseases.
“It is plain to see,” says Dr.
Cox, “that your health and that of
your family and community de-
pends in a good measure upon
your maintenance of clean, fly and
rat-free premises.”
Spraying to kill flies and poison-
ing of rats are valuable supple-
ments to the sanitation program,
but will not do the elimination job
by themselves.
Sanitation is largely a personal
matter. It is a way of life ex-
pressed in clean, healthful sur-
roundings.

Rookie Hurler
Is Making
Good Showing
David Lair, 17-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Lair of the Al-
la community, who is pitching
this spring for the Chickasha,
Okla., Chiefs in the Sooner State
League, is getting attention in
Oklahoma sports pages as possible
big league material.
Lair, whose phenomenal hurling
gained him much attention about
Celina last year and year before,
has won his second straight game
this season. The first one was
April 25, when he allowed the Mc-
Alester Rockets three hits, and
was credited with a 2-1 win. Again
last Friday night, he gave up only
three hits and the Chiefs beat the
Shawnee team 4-0.
Lair left Celina on March 13
for spring training of three weeks
and has since been hurling for the
Chickasha team. The lad in his
first game stopped a ninth-inning
thrust with a strikeout.
Following Lair’s first victory
a sports columnist in a Chickasha
iaper had this to say concerning
im:
“That boy, David Lair, 17,
Celina, Texas, who first per-
formed for the Chiefs Friday
and was credited with a 2-1
win, made a fine impression
on the fans. He is a promising
lad andjooks .like..■» .£qjjjire bisr
league hurler.
“But David will \ave to
watch his step. He is It hand-
some young fellow, precisely
the type that designing bob-
by-soxers try to snare.”
Grocers Will
Build New
Store in Celina
Perry & Rucker, Celina, grocers,
last week-end purchased of W. W
Kindle a business lot 100 by 145
feet on the northeast corner of
Pecan and Third streets, and plan
to erect a building there immed-
iately in which to house their gro-
cery and market business.
The new building, which will
measure 40 by 100 feet, will be
constructed of Texcrete blocks,
will face south along the 40-foot
dimension, and on the west will
be provided a parking space for
the store’s customers approxi
mately 60 by 145 feet, which is to
be surfaced for all-weather park
ing.
Perry and Rucker’s business is
quartered in a 24 by 70-foot build-
ing on the west side of the square,
where they have been since enter-
ing business here on September 29,
1945.
Mr. Rucker said Monday that
work on the new building will be-
gin as soon as possible, probably
early next week. A bulldozer was
at work Monday, clearing the site
for the building. Pete Kinney will
pour the foundation and erect the
walls. The old Sticht garage
building which sat on the corner of
the lot was retained by Mr. Kindle,
and will be moved to the site of
Mr. Kinlde’s projected building
supplies store on the corner of
Second and Beech streets.

More Money in Pasture and Hay
The Miller Brothers, who farm
near New Albany, Mississippi, started
their grass program two years ago.
Before that, the land was over-crop-
ped and run down.
The first step was a soil analysis
made with their County Agent. Then
they worked out a fertilizing and
seeding program based on the needs
of their land.
Has the program been a success?
Just ask the farmers who attended
their field day last spring!
They saw 95 acres green and heavy
laden with improved permanent pas-
tures and hay fields. They heard the
Miller Brothers say:
“We can make more money per
acre out of pasture and hay than we
can make out of grain crops.”
The1 Miller grasslands now consist
of lespedeza for hay, fescue and La-
dino for pasture, Dallis grass and
common lespedeza for hay and pas-
ture.
They fertilize and manure every
year and their cows are fed on a
planned program of supplementing
the grass with the proper balanced
rations and have steadily increased
production and profit over feed
costs.
Warrent Officer and Mrs. Mill-
