Mary Dean Oliver
Honoree at Shower
Mrs. George Fuller and Miss Edith
Fuller were hostesses at a miscel-
laneous shower Saturday afternoon.
The affair honored Miss Mary Dean
Oliver of Dallas, bride-elect of Ma-
jor Pat Densman of Pensacola, Fla.
Sharing hostess duties were Mrs.
J. R. Kelsey and Mrs. Russell Kel-
sey of Leonard. The house party
consisted of Mrs. Jack Oliver, Mrs.
Malcolm Oliver, Mrs. R. H. Clinger,
Mrs. Dean Oliver, mother of the
bride-elect, all from Dallas, and the
honoree.
Mrs. Marvin Gibbs of Longview,
assisted by Mrs. W. E. Rollins, pre-
sided at the punch bowl. Miss Al-
lene Baughn was at the guest re-
gister.
The reception rooms were decor-
ated with pink and white flowers.
In the dining room white flowers
were used on the tea table which
was covered with a lovely linen
cloth. Tall white tapers tied with
satin ribbon completed the table ar-
rangement.
During the tea hour many useful
recipes were written by the guests
for the honoree. In the late after-
noon Misses Sara and Mary Ann Kel-
sey of Leonard, and Miss Martha Jo
Kelsey, cousins of Miss Oliver, pre-
sented her with many lovely and
useful gifts.
Besides those in the house party,

was declared, the young cauple set
sail for the states. Here seven days
after arrival their daughter, Lor-
raine, was born. Those seven days
gave her Uncle Sam for a relative.
“The little miss who was half
French grew up to be one of Sacra-
mento’s dancing and radio stars.
Then she became a bride of this war.
Her marriage took place at Mather
chapel the day before the Pearl
Harbor episode. She and her cap-
tain-husband live in Texas now with
their daughter who is still too tiny
to salute Old Glory.”

The oil was pressed from the waste
material of pecan shelling plants,
which in the past has been given
away or used for chicken feed. From
fifty-two tons of waste from pecans,
the cotton oil mill produced 4,000
gallons of pecan oil.
This new product ' will probably
move to market through the same
channels as vegetable oils for use
in making salad oils, explosives,
dyes and high-grade soap. It is
claimed it is the equal of olive oil
for salads and table use.
There is also a market for the pe-
can cake, which is about 75 per cent
pecan shells, to be used in the pro-
duction of raw charcoal. Raw char-
coal is then made into activated
charcoal used in the manufacture of
gas masks.
Researchers say that if all waste
materials from all of the Texas pe-
can shelling plants were used, 40,.
000 to 60,000 gallons of high grade
pecan nut oil could be salvaged
from a normal nut crop in Texas
alone.

Regarding precautions against in-
fantile paralysis, Major River of the
U. S. Army said that the disease can
probably be transmitted only thru
the nose and throat or by way of
‘he gastro-intestmal tract.
Eating in clean and sanitary res-
taurants, killing flies, staying out of
swimming pools and large crowds
were the precautions he offered.
The editor of the local paper was
unable to secure advertising from
one of the business men of the town,
who asserted stoutly that he him-
self never read ads, and didn’t be-
lieve anyone else did.
“Will you advertise if I can con-
vince you that folks read the ads?”
“If you can show me,” was the
sarcastic answer. “But you can’t.”
In the next issue of the paper, the
editor ran a line in small type in an
obscure corner. It read:
“What is Murphy going to do
about it?”
The business man, Murphy, has-
tened to seek out the editor next
day. He admitted that he was be-
' ing pestered out of his wits by the
curious. He agreed to stand by the
editor’s explanation in the forth-
coming issues, and this was:
“Murphy is going to advertise, of
course.”
Having once advertised, Murphy
is still advertising. — Forbes Maga-
zine.

How Can You Do It?
Was what one of my customers asked me
about delivering so much Gasoline, Kerosene
and Lub. Oil. I didn’t do it alone. Every one
of my customers did it by co-operating with
me. The rush is over for a while and I
want to
