Mr. & Mrs. Conn
Buy Downtown
Restaurant Here
It was announced this week
that Mr. and Mrs. Fred Conn of
Shreveport, La., have purchased
Clifton’s Downtown Restaurant
from Mr. and Mrs. Bob Conley.
* The new owners previously liv-
ed in Vicksburg, Miss., where
they owned and operated a res-
taurant for 20 years.
The Conns said that when they
decided to buy a restaurant in
a smaller town that they looked
at a number of businesses in a
number of towns, but immediate-
ly liked Clifton.
"When we first drove into
town”, Mrs. Conn said, "people
waved at us and we were im-
mediately impressed by the
friendliness of people here. That
is something we are not used to.
In the cities nowadays everyone
is a stranger. We can t wait to
get to know people here and
become a part of this town".
The Conns have one married
daughter, Mrs. Bachett Hopkijis
of Monroe, La.
They are members of the Bap-
tist church.
The Conns say they plan to
utilize their 20 years experience
in the restaurant business to pro-
vide a larger variety of good
food that has previously been
offered at Downtown Kestaurat.
"We have learned,” they said,
"that to be successful a restaur-
ant must offer good food and pro-
vide it eonsistantiy. You can't
have a good steak one day and
a tough one the next, or you
will lose customers."
"Of course being from a diffe-
rent part of the country”, Mrs.
Conn said, "we are certainly en-
joying the cleanliness and the
beautiful scenery here, but most
of all we are impressed by the
people here. We hope to meet
everyone soon, and we invite
everyone to stop by and visit us.”

Agent s Report
(By Miss Delmelia Dunn)
FOOD POISONING
Who’s mouth hasn’t watered
at the unmistakable aroma of
juicy burgers being cooked over
glowing coals out in the open?
But do you know if that ham-
I burger is safe to eat?
With warm weather and the
exodus outdoors, the potential
danger of food poisoning ac-
companies every outdoor meal,
says LSDA’s Consumer and
Marketing Service.
Germs capable of causing se-
vere gastrointestinal upsets
thrive in perishable foods which
have not been properly or ade-
quately refrigerated. Common
sense and careful handling can
prevent a disaster.
Cold foods should be kept
cold — below 40 degrees F. —
and hot foods should be kept
hot — above 140 degrees F.
Bacteria and micro-organisms
which produce harmful toxins
grow most rapidly in food that
; is just wram, not hot or cold.
This moderate temperature is
ideal for the rapid reproduction
ot Salmonellae, Perfnngens,
Staphylococcus, and Botulinum
bacteria. Most of the disease-
carrying organisms can be eli-
minated by keeping foods at j
recommended temperatures.
There are inexpensive ways!
to keep foods cold — properly {
packed in an ice chest or in ;
dry ice packs. Empty milk car-1
tons, cotfee cans or other con- j
tamers with tight-fitting lids
can be filled with water and
trozen for use in the ice chest;
a plastic bag filled with ice ;
cubes placed in a sturdy con- j
tainer will cool foods and the
cubes can be used at campsite.
Cubes, loose or in plastic bags,
and ice in cartons should be
distributed evenly throughout
the cooler.
STORING WOOLENS
Before you store the family’s
wool clothing, tak some precau-
tions to protect them tronr dam-
! age from moths and other in-
sects.
Good woolens represent a
considerable investment, so
they sould deserve the best of
’ care during storage.
Dry-clean wool clothing be-
fore storing to remove soil that
j might attract moths.
Store in an airtight chest,
trunk, or closet, not to be open-
jed during summer.
Clean closet or container and
treat with a contact moth spray.
| Remove clothes from closet be-
fore spraying so walls can be
j treated thoroughly.
Use moth flakes, crystals or
i balls for additional protection.
Follow directions on container
I for use.
Or, use a moth spray on cloth-
| mg-
Treat fabrics made of wool
! blended with another fiber as
| if they were all-wool. Unless
| they are absolutely clean, these
| blended fabrics are an appetiz-
ing dish to moths and carpet
beetles.

BRIDGE—
(Continued From Front Page)
is obtained. First a new, modern
Ross concrete plant was set up
at the site ion the Hill Co. side)
by Waco Ready Mix Company.
It is producing the 3,000 yards ot
concrete needed. (This is equiv-
alent to about 525 truck loads ot
concrete).
Transit mix trucks, which can
ride over the new slab after six
days, back up to four Prime-
Mover concrete buggies. The slab
is finished with a Borges finisher.
Since the weather has been so
hot, 600 pounds of crushed ice is
mixed with each truck load of
concrete, in order to keep the
correct temperature in the batch
until it is poured on the bridge.

As we all know, summer with
its wilting heat is here. Don’t
be lulled into a drowsy mood;
we must find some means to re
newr our enthusiam to continue
the routine that will reward us
in late summer and fall blooms.
Remember the season is only
half over, so we can’t relax too
much.
We must maintain plant
growth, eliminate the
weeds, kill the bugs, and con-
trol the diseases which have a
way of cropping out during the
summer showers or from the
watering program.
It is not necessary to culti-
vate your garden if yau have
mulch. This saves a lot of work
and worry. Dragging that water
hose around will have to be
done less often. Two or three
inches of mulch will do much
toward an even supply of mois-
ture, controlling of weed growth
and the keep of the soil cool. A
mulch wil prevent your soil
from crusting or packing. In
the fall this mulch will be fork-
ed into the beds for soil build-
ing.
The choice for mulchery is
wide including grass clippings,
ground corn cobs, cotton burrs,
leaimold, sawdust, well-rotted
manure or compost, or other
that you may have or can try.
Before mulching, weed tho-
roughly, and then apply ferti-
lizer. Cultivate thoroughly; then
cover evenly and deep enough
to discourage weed growth.
Grass clippings will heat and
should be applied thinly in lay-
ers or stirred often. It’s im-
portant to water regularly dur-
ing these summer days. This
may be done either during the
day or at night, provided the
correct method is used. SprinK-
lers should be used only in
daylight. Foliage-will then be
dry before nighufsji- } tirouncl
watering is best urithp evening,
provided a gentle flow is used.
Apply at least an inch of water
in any given area.
Double pot your patio plants.
Surround the small pot with
peat moss so the sand plants
won’t dry out so quickly. Grow-
ing conditioners will keep them
blooming.
Feed your lawn sparingly, but
regularly. Set mower blades as
high as possible.
Feed perennial phlox a plant
food and water mixture. Dust
with sulphur for mildew and
red spider. Cut old flower heads
as they fade, and new flowering
side branches will develop.
Pinch chrysanthemums back
to keep from growing tall and
straggly. Remember not to
pinch the shoots after the mid-
dle of July.
Summer pruning which con-
sists of shortening the shoats
of espalier fruits and shrubs
and trees, and also of Wister-
ian to encourage the flowering,
. should receive special atten
| tion.
I Some annuals such as sweet
alyssum, phlox drummond, tend
to grow straggly and benefit,
and bloom better later if they
are lightly sheared back after
the first tlush of bloom is over.
Crepe myrtle will remain in
bloom longer if faded blooms
are picked off promptly. Give
your roses a short rest at this
1 season. Do not water or ferti-
lize, but keep them sprayed or
dusted to control disease and
pests. Toward the end of August
sow seeds of biennials such as
foxglows, Canterbcrry Bells. &
Hollyhocks. Cut Hollyhocks
back after blooming, and they
will come back with another
crop of blooms.
Don’t blame all of your lawn
problems on insects. Chinch
bugs may be part of the prob-
lem, but be sure you recognize
diseases that, could be causing
damage. Poor watering practices
may appear as insects or di-
seases. You may be over-water-
ing parts of your lawn and un-
derwatering certain strips.
Where yellow or brown pat
ches of grass are noticed, take
a large coftee can or a gallon
can with both ends removed
and press one end of the can
two or three inches into the
soil at the edge ot the discolor-
ed grass. Fill the can With water
and keep it full for about live
minutes. If chinch bugs are pre-
sent, they will float to the top.
Repeat in several places, it
! they are present, you should use
sprays containing aspon, Tri-
thion, or Ethion. Irrigate your
lawn betore spraying to aid in
the solution penetrating thru
the grass. Be sure to follow the
directions on the label of the
type of spray which you use.
Keep all children and pets out
of the sprayed area until it has
thoroughly dried.

MECHANICAL FINISHER — This mech-
anical concrete finisher is set to the
grade of the bridge. As the entire rig
moves down the bridge, the finisher
auger moves back and fourth across the
bridge, smoothing out the concrete as it
is dumped into place. The operator is
shown spraying the concrete to keep it
wet so that it will cure properly.
