\ "Uncle Buddie" Mayer
Fifteen years; of unswerving devotion and
vruselfish interest in the rendering of aid
to the afflicted children of the state came
to an end in Dallas on Sunday when funeral
services were held in that city for "Uncle
Buddie" Mayer who died suddenly on Friday
at his hotel apartment.
Before going to Dallas "Uncle Buddie" en-
trenched himself in the hearts and memory
of countless numbers in this vicinity
through (his long association with the firm
of I G. Bromberg. During the years that
lie made Mineola his home he served as one
Of the city's outstanding business? men, but
was not until he reached Dallas—not un-
til he had associated himself more closely
fifli the aims of the Scottish Rite Hospital—
dot until he had come to know every patient
Wbo had entered that institution since its
'founding—not until he had found the place
where he could give a humane and tender
service, that he found his true vocation in
life.
-"Uncle Buddie", as his beloved crippled
and blind friends throughout the state knew
him, made ilie giving of service his creed
and he lived up to that creed with a fervor
and intend.y i'ound only in the hearts of
those whess reward is gained through help-
ing otilors along life's weary road.
With his passing, the Scottish Rite Hospital
and the afflicted children of the state, lose
more than a friend—through his loss they
suffer the passing of a champion who was
ever willing and always ready to come to the
aid of those who suffer.
Whatever is the quality within a man's
heart that inspires him) to a life of such
work, as "Uncle Buddie" contributed here
among the maimed children of Texas can
never be described. Suffice it to say that
once there it never leaves but remains
through the lifetime of the man in whose
breast beats the heart that refus.es to ig-
nore suffering in others.
Call it "The Priceless Ingredient", if you
will, whatever it is coul only be described
hy such a term. Those who knew Mr. Mayer
know well that whatever the quality ox in
what measuire a man must have it in order
to show it, "Uncle Buddie" had it in abun-
dance and showered the fruits or his ;poses-
■sion upon all with whom he came in con-
tact.
One of the reasons why there are not
metre "best dressed men" is probably the
fact that some tailors are more optimistic
than others.
Compact of European nations to keep
frqnris "off the Spanish fuss establishes the
first instance of history of organized efforts
to keep a war's amateur standing.
It is estimated that $150,000,000 are in-
vested in the Texas citrus industry. Moire
than 8,000,000 trees are growing on 12,000
acres devoted to citrus. Approximately 20,000
caloads of fruit are being marketed this year.

MAN
THE TOWN is atremble with the threat of
approaching spring! Merchants all over the
city are busy going through their files,
peering into catalogs and trying their best
to appear nonchalant and uninterested as
they view the sprightly spring offerings
of the ingratiating traveling man who is
now appearing with 'the Spring line'. All of
which leaves us slightly cold for the real-
ization burs>t upon us today that Easter is
not far off. Confronted with this fact we
realized, with dismay, that a spring suit,
we needed, will be a job that will require
some diligent application of grey matter—
not to say a little green matter. Where
they are both to come from is not for us
to say. All we're doing is hoping.

CROSSING THE STREET on Monday night
the Lankford chariot slithered up to the
stop sign on Johnston street the while the
driver, Mr. Lankford in person, took in the
traffic situation at a glance then plummeted
the machine out into the maze of Broad
Street 6 o'clock hustle and bustle. Mrs.
Lankford exhibited perfect faith in her
spouse's ability as she yat composed by his
side. In the rear seat, the heir apparent
to the Lankford domains gazed languidly at
the car roof. With a burst of speed the
three were away for home.

CHRIS MILLER, dominant, vibrant, dis-
penser of foodstuffs was overheard recently
putting "Sweetie" Allen wise to a new-
fangled way to make money. It sounded
good, so good in fact that "Sweetie" is
seriously considering employing his talents
in giving it a try. If he does try It he will
take the proposition to another town for
its inauguration undetr his guidance.

"SWAMP" Chaney, whom everyone knows,
almost upset the big fine steak that was
on the table before him when, on Sunday,
we walked into a Dallas restaurant and
found him there—all smiles and nice words*
—enjoying the company of his lady 'fair.
We were surprised also—so It was mutual.

HENRY BOGAN tells us that the East Texas
Serenaders, after years away from the
microphone and recording disc, have re-
turned to the wax plate as a means of
recording their artistry for posterity. Last
week the group journeyed to Dallas there
to tune up their instruments and Whang
them with gusto so that the Decca record
people might offer to the public samples of
the East Texas Serenaders conception of
real, down-to-earth home-folk music. Good
luck, boys!

B. L. CHAPPELL fortifies himself against the

slowly and with evident relish. Caught him

THROUGH the office window: Grady Puck-
ett whirls by with his hands shoved deep
into hip pockets of his trousers and his
coat flapping madly behind him . . . Robert
Hooks, bright new fedora and all, stomps
across from the Select to lend his presence
to the LeRoy Theatre for a few brief,
precious moments ... By the way, that's* a
nifty ensemble Robert . . . the lights in the
Fulcher thi-one room reveal the local Ford
magnate busy at his desk . . . evidently
busy checking over the orders for used
cars received since his recent advertising
blast in The Monitor (Mental Note: Must
check on this) . . . Two lads engage in
conversation before the window wondering
whether Scout Meeting or the picture show
would offer the better entertainment . . .
The thrill of scouting sends the movie
down for the count and the two "men of
the woods" are off to wrestle with weighty
problems of nature and how to best her
. . . Cars line the curb . . . people are
beginning to come to town for the night . . .
it's long after 7 o'clock ... no supper yet
. . . feel sorta hungry . . . but care little
about eating . . . perhaps it is the blues . . .
it might be, but we'll take a chance 'that a
good dinner will relieve the pressure .
And where is that fellow Ed Burden? Said
that he would be right back so that we could
both go—oh, here he is and we're gone I

WHY IS GULPS NEW NO-NOX ETHYL
the gasoline sensation of the year?
Because there's been a crying need
for a fuel that cannot knock! Motorists
have hailed the new No-Nox Ethyl as the
answer . . ; a fuel boosted to such a new
high that it is absolutely knockproof-—even
in the high-compression 1937 cars!
Motorists have discovered that it gives
more power, smoothness, economy in any
car. And—equally important—it starts in-
stantly—cuts down battery wear, excess
choking, crankcase dilution!
Try Gulf's new No-Nox Ethyl at the
Sign of the Orange Disc. Costs no more
than other premium fuels. A tankful of
No-Nox and a crankcaseful of Gulfpride
Oil can't be topped!
