1 read somewhere: "One needs
an interpreter to follow directions
of many of the articles we buy.''
Everything has page after page
of: 'how to assemble said article.'
Now, don’t get me wrongs I am for
every helpful item—it’s just that
I. get a mite confused sometimes
in reading the instructions. I know
the manufacturer gets the how to
put it together’ wrong sometimes
‘cause I nearly always have a few
pieces left over—take for instance
the vacuum cleaner we bought, we
got it all put together—’cept for a
few screws and things, looked nice
too, but it never would pick up
dirt, it only ate holes in the rubber
cable inside!
instructions only-complicate
things sometimes — anyone i
open a bottle of medicine — un-
screw the top, and squeeze the
bottle—rthis I did and the stopper
hit the ceiling, I lost half of my
medicine andi half of my disposi-
tion, but it cured my ailment.
We have on our mantel an old
stricking 8-day cloek. It is part ol
us we have had it so long. The ieit
key turns righf, the right key
turns left—set the hour and min-
ute hands, swing pendulum to the
right, and it begins to tick. At 7
minutes after the hour it strikes
the hour, 5 minutes after the half
hour is strikes the half hour. Now
if this sounds a little odd to you—
it is! But after 50 years one gets
used to it.
The hardest things are the gad-
gets that read “Do not Destroy”
"IMPORTANT,” “KEEP,” "After
6 months check said article.”
That’s what most of our cabinet
drawers are full of. We are scarecj
to throw any away-r-did one time,
and we never could tell if the fan
was oiled ori time or not, and we
wouldn’t have known the water
heater was ten years old 'cept it
started leaking.
The last thing-a-majig we bought
was,.a sun visor. The filling sta-
tion man (and I must tell him)
doesn’t really know that it’s a bit
difficult to put on, “It’s easy,” he
says—“just follow, the directions”:
have windshield cold or in the
Shade, sun visor must be dripping
wet—slap on wet windshield cut
square ends if it over laps. Press
completely dry. I followed these
to a T, looked nice too, I left the
car, and returned in 30 minutes,
the visor whs neatly curled lying
on the car floor. So I must tell the
filling station man!

Terracing.
Prepared by the United States
Department of Agriculture, Soil
Conservation Service
Cooperators of the Fannin Soil
ConservaUon District are beginn-
ing their summer terracing pro-
gram according to Truman Atkins,
Soil Conservationists, for the Fin-
nin District.
During dry weather is the most
economical time to terrace, The
ground works much better and
faster with heavy equipment when
it is dry. '
Fanners who have already be-
gun to terrace are Guy Robinson in
the Leonard area, Mnr Rodgers,
Rodgers area, Norman Moore on
Mrs. Bryant’s farm, Ector area,
and Chet Beazley, Ely area.
Fanners who have grassed
waterways or pastures for terrace
outlets and plan to terrace ( this
summer should contact their loc-
al soil conservation personnel for
assistance in staking out their
terrace system,” states Atkins.
If you plan to terrace in the
near future and don’t have grass-
ed waterways, you should begin
now to prepare a seed bed for
fail sodding. Some waterways may
need to be shaped. Now is a good
time to do this job.
~ Cost-share assistance will be
provided through your local Agri-
cultural Stabilization Conservat-
ion ,, Committee.
For additional information, con-
tact your local Soil Conservation
Service technicians at the Bonham
office.

Allens Point Rural
Community Club Met
Thurs., August 3rd
The Allens Point Rural Commu-
nity Club met at the Community
Center August 3 with the chair-
man, Mr. Lloyd Skinner, in charge.
Minutes were read and the treasu-
rer gave his report.
Mr. Skinner turned the meeting
over to the program chairman,
Mrs. A. L. Collard, who introduced
the spacer for the evening, Mr. C.
O. Spence, 5-county area agro-
nomist. He was assisted by the
county agent, Mr. Cranfill. Mr.
Spence had slides to show the dif-
ference in crops where phosphorus
and nitrogen had been used. He
said that phosphourus was very
necessary in crops to promote
growth in the live stock that it
was fed to as it prevents stunted
live stock. He also said that the
land in East Texas was most all
low in phosphours.
Everyone enjoyed the talk and
the slides shown by Mr. Cranfil
and we learned something that will
be very helpful to us in the future.

"GRASS ROOTS CAPITALISM"
y **• •, •
The newspapers i'ec^ntly ran a story that I thought was
pretty sljghificartt. It gave real insight into our American econo-
mic system. The story reported that, for the first time, an
Americajvbusiness had 2,000,000 owners. This Important “first”
was achieved by the Bell System, of which my company is a
part, -ii" *■ ,

' \
Hugh and Irene Poison of Wichita, Kansas, ar© the two
millionth shareowner. Pictured with them above are their ‘two
youngsters — Kay Louise, 9, and Stephen Hugh, 7.
The Poisons own and run their own pharmacy. And, even
though they keep plenty busy with the drug store and duties
at home, they take part in church, PTA and community activi-
ties. i
\ |Mr. 'and Mrs. Poison own ten shares of stock. They bought,
It as pari of an investment plan to send their children to col-
lege. Like the Poisons, a great many investors -4- 335,000, in
fact — have fewer than 10 shares. Of the two million share-
owners, nearly 850,000 are women and 300,000 are telephone
employees. \
This is real qvidence of “grassroots capitalism," and I think
Mr. and Mrs. Poison typify many of today’s “grassroots” in-
vestors, who come from all walks of life, from all sections ol
the country.
As I said before, here is a truly significant story. Here is
the nation’s largest business, the Bell System, ‘how owned by
2,000,000 people. Here Is a dramatic testimonial to the Ameri-
can economic system. Here is democracy at work — with all
Uie world to see.
