Looking-glass Treat Evelyn and Vivien to a Modern Alice-in-
Wonderland Surprise.
rN * THAT ALL-IMPORTANT
L matter of looking most charm-
ing, neither Evelyn nor Vivien knew
jvhat amazing things fluorescent
lighting could accomplish in the
boudoir. Indeed, each had marveled
at the new kind of lighting recently
Introduced by science. They had
peen it glorifying merchandise in
Stores. They knew that light from
the long slender tubes is doing big
things to speed up production in
'defense industries.
But it was only the other day that
Evelyn and Vivien experienced their
biggest fluorescent surprise. This
occured as the girls were being con-
ducted on a tour of the Nela Park
laboratories, “lighting headquarters
of the world”, at Cleveland. There
in “the home of tomorrow” at G.E.
.Institute, they saw how beautifully
(fluorescent lighting can serve in the
average home.
■ The above picture shows Evelyn
standing before a full-length mirror
the magic wands in the plastic,
luminaire just above the mirror.
Additional fluorescent lamps con-
cealed beneath a cornice over the
windows are used to create a lovely
decorative effect.
The lamp tubes selected are of
the fluorescent white tone variety.
Which is why Vivien is agreeing
with Evelyn that the amount and
kind of lighting here is the nearest
thing to natural daylight they ever
saw in a* bedroom. And how divine
for detecting that windblown wisp
of hair and rearranging it just so.
Science, it seems, has charmed
these two young women no end. A
little unusual for this pair of famous
all-girl girls whose vocation is that
of charming others. Each, you
know, is a featured soloist on the
Sunday night Hour of Charm radib
program. And just as the talented
Evelyn with her magic violin and
lovely Vivien with her enchanting
soprano voice have entered millions
of homes, so too may fluorescent

Social Security Has
Various Settlements
The old-age and survivors’ in-
insurance system provides for
monthly payments to an insured
worker and certain members of
his family when lie retires after
reaching the age of 65, and to cer-
tain members of his family in
case of his death, according to a
statement by . Dewey Reed, man-
ager of the Amarillo office of the
Social Security Board.
“The length of time a man has
worked in jobs covered by this
system and the wages he has re-
ceived must be sufficient to meet
certain minimum requirements.
To use the language of the lawT—
he must have sufficient 'quarters
of coverage.’ A quarter of cover-
age is a calendar quarter (three-
month period beginning January,
April, July, or October) in which
the worker wTas paid wages of $50
or more in covered employment,”
Mr. Reed said.
It was further explained that a
worker who is 65 years or older
can claim old-age retirement bene-
fits if he is “fuly insured.” In
general, he is fully insured if he
has enough quarters of coverage to
equal half the calendar quarters
between Dee. 31, 1936, and. the
quarter in which he attains age
65. But he must in any case have
at least six quarters of coverage.
“For anyone who reached 65
before July 1, 1940,” Mr. Reed
continued,' “six quarters of cov-
erage are enough to bq fully in-
sured. But for trose becoming 65
later, the required number of quar-
ters of coverage increases. Those
who reached; 65 between July 1
and Dec. 31, 1940, need seven
quarters of coverage. Workers
attaining age of 65 during the
first six month of 1941 need eight
quarters of coverage, and those
reaching 65 during the last six
months of 1941 will need nine
quarters of coverage required to
be fully insured increases at this
rate until the Avorker has 40 quar-
ters of coverage. Then he is fully
insured for life,”
OIL INDUSTRY
PLANNED AHEAD
focused on the tense situation in
Europe, Texas is bending every ef-
fort to aid in national defense.
Daily this state becomes of great-
er importance to the Avhole na-
tional defense program.
Bombers, of the type most need-
ed by England, are being built at
Dallas and Fort Worth. Ammu-
nition will soon be turned out in
large volume by the plant now un-
der construction at Texarkana;
other articles of vital importance
are being turned out daily by Tex-
as industries. Large numbers of
ships will soon be constructed in
the neAV yards at Orange and
Houston. American soldiers are
being trained in modern Avarfare
at Browuwood, Abilene, Mineral
Wells, , Pala'cios, S.an Antonio, El
Paso, and other cities.
American air corps pilots are
being taught flying, bombing, and
aerial Avarfare at Randolph Field,
the huge naval air base at Corpus
Christi, Victoria, Cuero, Brady,
Corsicana, and 'Stamford. Soon
“The funds of Masonic bodies,
county organizations, Lions clubs,
and the Kiwanis clubs have al-
ready been invested in Defense
Bonds, and many advisers are
recommending these bonds for in-
vestments by trust funds and es-
tates.”
Flooded — But Insured
Wilmer T. Swink, state AAA committeeman from Young County, has
good reason to feel bad about this flooded wheat crop — but he also has •
good reason to feel good, because all the wheat on his farm was covered
by Federal all-risk crop insurance.
the consumer goods market- — and
that, in turn, helps build up the
stocks of materials needed for mili-
tary preparedness.
Today the government is urg-
ing the people to purchase spe-
cial defense bonds and' stamps
neAvly issued by the treasury. The
hanks of America, knowing full
Avell the gravity of our economic
problems, are cooperating fully
in this endeavor, Avithout a nickel
of profit to themselves. When Ave
loan to the government, we are
directly aiding defense, we are
investing in the safest form of
security, and Ave are helping fight
inflation.
Every family should make de-
fense bond purchases "an integral
part of its budget for as long as
the emergency endures. Buy as
many bonds as you can. And
don’t dispose of them unless it
is absolutely unavoidable.
Gladys—Was the bracelet Char-
lie gave you set Avith precious
stones ?
Dorothy—Yes, precious feAV.
A newspaper intervieAver re-
cently asked an executive of a
leading oil company this highly
significant question: “If an ene-
my air bombing force Avere able to
reach Southern California and at-
tack the thousands of oil Avells
located there, is it likely that the
«apply of petroleum for our army
and na\7y Avould ibe seriously less-
ened ? ’ ’
The executive’s ansA\Ter Avas an
emphatic “|N’o J There are 20,-
000 oil Avells in California alone,
spread over a tremendous terri-
tory. If an enemy could destroy
half of these wells—Avhich is ob-
viously a ridiculous assumption —
the remaining 10,000. Avells could
double their production.
That isn’t all. For example, oil
in storage tanks offer good targets
for enemy (bombers. Therefore,
the qil industry, with commend:-
able foresight, has long made it a
policy to build these tanks suffi-
eritly far apart so that if one Avere
hit its neighbor Avould not be ig-
nited. On top of that, the oil in-
dustry makes full use of the saf-
est storage of all—the under-
ground pools, provided by nature,
Avhere oil is found.
The oil industry, to sum up, is
one' of the many private indus-
tries Avhich planned ahead for
just such an emergency as Ave are
facing iioav. Private enterprise
made this country great. And pri-
vate enterprise is today making
this country secure.

THE TOLL FIRE TAKES
“Our productive forces must
be protected against the destruc-
tive forces of fire from Avhatever
source it springs,” said E. Kent
Hubbard, president of the Manu-
facturers’ Association of Connec-
ticut. “But yesterday, machines,
vast plants and factories, and raw
materials could be replaced with
machines, plants and factories, and
raAV materials destroyed by fire
may never be replaced.
“And so too, Aye must recog-
nize the fact the seldom does fire
take its toll of material things
Avithout taking a proportionate toll
of human life, or Avithout disrupt-
demoralizing the

Grayson county, and several other
points in our state. Mechanics
to service American planes Avill be
trained in large numbers at Wich-
ita Falls within the very near fu-
ture.
Citizens of Texas are thinking in
teims of Defense Bonds and Sav-
ings Stamps. They are anxious to
help. They knoAV that the Cana-
dian people Avere asked recently to
to subscribe $600,000,000 to put ov-
er Canada’s Victory loan and that

The following is a statement by
Frank Scofield, state administrat-
or :
“Lately it has come to my at-
tention that a number of. frater-
nal organizations, unincorporated
associations such as lodges, church-
es, or societies, have desired to
purchase bonds but have been re-
fused inasmuch as they are organ-
izations of this character.
“I Avould like to take this op-
portunity to correct this misun-
derstanding because
At any time, under any cir-
cumstances, fire is the enemy of
the national Avelfare. And in such
times as these, Avhen all the pro-
ductive resources of this country
are being strained to build a mili-
tary machine unprecedented in our
history, the danger and menace of
fire groAV a thousandfold.
In embattled London, the fire
fighters — and this includes the
civilian population, no less than
the organized fire brigades—have
wrought miracles in controlling
fire. Here in this country, in
small toAvns as Avell as the great
cities, Ave have the opportunity
lick fire to a standstill, to the
end that the defense program may
go foi’Avard without delay. The
man and Avoman who, fight fire
today, fight for the country’s se-
curity and safety.
Bonds and Savings Stamps may1
he purchased by any private cor-
poration nr association, whether
incorporated or unincorporated,
any partnership, trust funds, re-
tirement or pension funds, any
