Baptist Church Votes
$24,000 For Use
In Expansion Program
The Mesquite Baptist C'hurch
voted overwhelmingly in their busi-
ness meeting last Wednesday even-
ing to launch a $24,000 expansion
program. It was agreed that the
money should be borrowed to finish
and equip the new educational build-
ing and to completely air condition
the new building and the auditorium.
In addition, certain other improve-
ment can be made to make the audi-
torium more attractive.
The breakdown cf the cost of the
work is as follows: Winter and sum-
mer air-conditioning $13,678.00; re-
decoration of auditorium $2,000;
complete construction and equipment
for new building $S,322.00.
Work is going forward on these
projects and the Lone Star Gas Com-
pany is beginning the installation of
the air-conditioning at this writing.
The members feel that the oppor-
tunities of our community make it
imperative to get ready to meet the
possibilities.

Double Check
your selection of a cooking appliance
I
s there a range that will make your
kitchen cool in summer? Be wary of
"claims.” You know it takes heat to cook.
There is no cooler-to-cook-with range
than a new gas range—why would 96
of 100 women who have gas service
cook with gas, if there were?
Moreover, new gas ranges cost less
than any other automatic range. There is
On display and sale everywhere
no expensive installation cost. No special,
costly utensils are necessary. Meal-for-
meal, a gas range cooks for less than one-
fourth the cost of any other automatic
range.
Check and double check. See for
yourself why 96 out of 100 women cook
with gas; why a new gas range is your
best range buy!
