•y EMALINE HARRIS
With many of our citieep* leaving each day of the week
on vacations* we would like to remind them there is an old
rule fur vacationers and th»t is — “take half as much clothing
as you. think you will need aiul twice as much money.'*
guile a few Urahain citizens are spending their vacations
at their pretty homes on the lake and this reminds us someone
staled I he other day it’s a “must' that one nave two horn
one in the city, and a lake home where they can enjoy boat-
ing, swimming, fishing, and water sports.
It has been estimated that ten or tweve thousand people
will be riving on Possum Kingdom Lake in less than tour or
live years Many cars pass through lirahain each day enroute
to the lake where many Texans spend their vacation on free
camping sites if they are not lucky enough to own a lake home
or rent cabins that are in great demand this summer.

July Fourth is over, but'traffic accidents still pile up on
our highways with many killed over each weekend. The Safe-
ty Department at Austin warns motorists to drive slow and
"live longer ”, but surely some don t .want to live from the way
they drive, but they should think of the lives of their chil-
dren and friends traveling with them.
According to the late beloved Will Rogers, he had a cure
lor the traffic problem when he suggested that highways be
opened only to cars in.it arc paid for Well, you kMN lhi>
might be somethingWorth trying right now. since nothing else
seems very effective in reducing our highway accidents.
As everyone must know by now. outdoor cookery which
sweeps the country like an epidemic- from now until snow
'flies is largely a mans job. For where is there a man who
doesn t love to do outdoor cooking.. It's fun and too, he gets
compliments on his genius' as a chef and always trying new
sauces — usually “invented" from his wife's cookbook — and
new combinations of foods. So let the man about your house
do the outdoor cooking and have fun and compliments. Cook-
ing out and picnics have always begijJCpn for us. . . . However
and wherever picnic got their name there has never been much
doubt about their popuanty.
Looking back on childhood piemrs. we fondly remember the
excitement of getting ready for a big. bountiful all-day church
or’ family opting. v .
Early in. lh*^ morning,* mother began packing the picnic
basket. The fried chicken, tuna -salad, sliced ham. cakes and
pies along with homemade bread, jelly, vegetables and this
and that including tea and coffee. The .old fashioned coffee
pot perked merrily, ind too. there were fresh fruit and "ripe
tomatoes tucked into, the large lunch or dinner basket wilfr-
white table cloths and real linen napkins Picnic packing
seemed^ to take hours, but at last, mercifully, we were on our
i way And never do we remember a “picnic that didn't live, up
to the anticipation. ,
OBSERVED . . Mrs. Robert T Walker, bejter known to
her wide circle of friends as "Blanche.'' is recuperating at her
home from an insect or spider bite that sent her flying to her
doctor for antibiotics. ... Several new Insects or bugs have
made Iheir appearance this summer, one a hard top gray bug
as ugly as sni. that has long legs like a spider and a slender
bill and how' they do hurt, because we know, as one bit us
the other morning while watering a hanging basket of-petumas
on the back terrace.
Mrs Walker and faAuly were driving- around Graham's
Hew lake when she was .bitten or stung by this insect. . .
I-eta and Charles Christopher, disappointed......over the stormy
weather Sunday afternoon as they had planned tb fly to Big D
