GI Insurance Checks
Arrive In Wylie
The GI insurance dividend
checks are arriving in Wylie
daily, according lo an announce-
ment by officials of the First
State Bank. These checks are
payments in the form of divid-
ends to til's who were holders
of the service life insurance.
First checks were mailed out on
January 16, and it is estimated
it will take six months to com-
plete the task.
Bank officials have estimated
checks had been received by
local veterans up to February 1.
Amounts had ranged from $6(1.0G
to $264.00.
Public Response Good
To PoD Tax Offer
Approximately 40 applications
for poll taxes were mailed to the
Collin County Tax Collector as
a result of the announcement in
last week's News. Arrangements
had been made with the tax col-
lector whereby local citizens who
had neglected to pay their poll
tax, might fill out an application
at the bank and mail in the last
three days. Their receipts would
then be mailed to them.
The Wylie Lions Club sponsor-
ed the idea and officials uf that
organization were well pleased
at the response on the part of
the public. This group hopes to
make arrangements for next
year whereby representatives of
the tax collector's office will bo
able to spend a few days here in
the collection of taxes.

The pastor of the local Meth-
odist Church, Rev. Elden H.
Cole, has made known the plans
of this church to co-operate with
the McKinney District of the
Methodist Church in a district-
wide Visitation Evangelism pro-
gram which will be followed by
one week of Pulpit Evangelism.
Rev. Cole and Rev. Frank
Blackburn, pastor of the First
Methodist Church in Piano, re-
presented the McKinney District
in a Visitation Evangelism School
conducted by Dr. Dawson C.
Bryan in Arlington, Texas the
last week of October. Out of the
inspiration received there and
the able leadership of the Dis-
trict Superintendent, Rev. Cicero
B. Fielder, the above plans have
been formed and adpoted by the
2!i pastors of this district. There
many -friends and | wil1 bc 43 churches uniting in
this great effort to win people
to Christ and the Church.
Rev. Cole and Rev. Blackburn,
who are now known as Directors
of Evangelism of the Methodist
Church, will train the pastors,
who will in turn train their lay-
men to visit in the homes and
win people to the Christian life.
Each year the Perkins School
of Theology, S.M.U., observes
loly Week by asking each of
(he students to participate in pre-
Easter services instead of attend-
ing classes. In co-operation with
Ihe school of theology, this dis-
trict evangelistic program has
been planned. The visitation will
begin March 27 and continue
through the 30. The preaching
phase will begin April 2 and run
through Easter Sunday, April !).

LEVI BRAWLEY
to the Citizens of collin
county, texas:
1 wish to take this opportunity
of announcing my candidacy for
Fifth Sunday Service
Held Al Vickery
Christian Church
A good representation from the
Sachse-Wylie Pastoral Unity at-
tended the Fifth Sunday Servic-
es at the Vickery Christian Chur-
ch Sunday evening .Representa-
tives from the Christian Church-
es at Allen, Carrollton, Lucas,
Richardson, Sachse, Vickery and
Wylie were there and hear Dean
D. Ray Lindley from the Brite
College of the Bible deliver the
address which was preceded by
a lively sing-song led by Mr.
Kuykenriall from Richardson and
followed by a Social in the Churc
Annex. The next Fifth Sunday
gathering of this group will bc
held at the Lucas Christian Chur-
ch the fifth Sunday in April.
the coming primary election July
22, 1950, in which I am seeking
my second term as Sheriff of
this fine county.
I very keenly feel my responsi-
bility as Sheriff of your county
and in announcing my candidacy
for this second term. I want you
to know that if you see fit to re-
elect me to a second term of off-
ice. there will be no letdown of
law enforcement and 1 will be a
thorough and efficient peace of-
ficer and Sheriff until midnight,
December 31, 1!)52, the last hour
of my second term.
1 think you as voters are en-
titled to know something of the
work done while 1 have been your
Sheriff for my first term. I am
therefore presenting the following
as an indication of work done by
me or under my direction as
Sheriff during the first time which
is now half over:
915 arrests on Grand,jury indict-
ments.
618 arrests on Justice War-
rants misdemeanor.
72 arrests on felony cases filed
in Justice Court.
335 arrests on County Warrants
misdemeanor.
201 Citations and other matters
handled out of District Court.
102 Probate matters in County
Court.
4G eases lunacy and other mat-
ters in County Civil Court.
96 Out County Citations and
other matters.
55 Orders of sale and executions
and other matters from out of
County Court.
This averages 93 arrests per
month in 1949.
1623 different matters, warrants
Citations, executions, ordti'a of
sale, lunacy and probate matters
have been handled through this
office in the past twelve months.
Every man who has gone through
the jail has been fingerprinted
and their records arc in our files.
I want to thank the State High-
way Patrolmen, the McKinney
Police Department and all the
other peace-officers throughout
Collin County for their line coop-
eration. Hud it not been for
their one-hundred per cent coop-
eration during my first term, my
record would not have been that
the department averaged 93 ar-
rests per month during the first
year of my office.
I particularly want to thank
the voters of Collin County, Tex-
as, for having elected me for my
first term to serve as your Sheriff
for in so doing you gave the op-
portunity to meet and better know
our fine citizens anil to realize
how earnestly they are in favor
of law enforcement. My wife and
I shall always feci grateful also
to the voters of Collin County be-
cause my election as Sheriff gave
our only child, our son, a chance
to enter college which he would
have been unable to do it I had
not been elected to this office.
1 promise that if elected to my
second term I will continue to
give you my best services in all
capacities and to give you vigor-
ous law enforcement in Colin
County, Texas. Until I am able
to personally solicit the vote cf
each of you I beg your considera-
tion.
Respectfully yours,
Levi Brawiey,
Sheriff, Collin County Texas.

According lo people who spend
time figuring out odds on nearly
everything under the sun: The
odds are even that you will
loose one key during this year;
I that you are carrying three keys
with you now; a cook of a hint "
hold will burn something every
| ten meals; you will fall twice in
the house during the year and
1 the odds are 40 to I against
either of the falls being injurious;
j If you arc average you will re-
| arrange you furniture just once
a year; The chances are about
1 to 1 that you are not completely
J happy with your home which, if
it is an average home, you paint
every 2 -12 years. It you fall
into the last two categorys, let
us help you change it 'till you
are happy and we have the paint
j ready for the use if your 2 1-2
years is up.
If you are 35, on the average,
you have 17,000.000 minutes left
to live. GAMBLE ON SAFETY
and you wager those remain-
ing minutes,
Ever try a drop of mineral
oil to stop that run in stockings?
Surprise! If you are a city
[ dwelling housewife you will be
I delighted to know that you spend
10 percent more time on your
' home-making duties than a t'ar-
j mors' wife.
We've got all kinds of tools,
! electrical gadgets; saws, sliap-
ers; cement mixer; haulers; san-
: dcrs; drills; etc. Got to sell 'em.
[ Can't eat 'em all.
Even if you wash and wax
j your new car every Sunday the
I odds arc Great that it won't
last It) years and over.
Pocnly of paint to paint with,
I (what else?), let's t^e some to
it. (Don't, care what you do with
it ju:;t so you buy it.)
Remember: Adding to. And
Mult.plying by. Arc O. K.—But
watch out for that subtracting
from, and dividing by.
