How would you feel if you and your family returned home
from a weekend visit out of the city to find nothing but bare
walls and floors’ This is what happened last Saturday night to
a couple in Oklahoma City. The loss was estimated over $75,000
And in Tulsa a moving van backed up to a home and loaded
all contents into the truck while a couple was spending the
weekend away from home Neighbors thought the occupants
were either moving out of the city or to another part of the
city So, wouldn't it be a wise idea if you saw a strange Moving
Van backed up to your neighbor's door, to report it to the po-
lice. providing you knew they were not moving out of the city
or to another part of town?

civic and social events, is be-
coming well-known all across
the country for her renditions
of musicals and reviews. She
will appear Friday evening,
February 25 at 8 p.m. at the
Graham Country Club doing,
"Wildcat."
She calls Dallas “home" and
has just the right amount of,
whatever it is, to “wow” a
Texas audience.
The musical reviews she has
been presenting for the past
three years are a delightful
compromise of an earlier de-
sire for a career in the thea-
tre.
Marriage, and later two sons,
age 19 and 12, postponed her
present career, although she
has sung professionally for
years.
Mary has studied both the
arts of drama and music and
in private life is better known
as, Mrs. Glen F. Allen.
She is accompanied by Mrs.1

in Long Beach. California, to take care of his cat, we thoug*t,

Blue Boy, who is at least ten years old has a history; as M«

know, cats have been objects of affection for centuries.
Cleopatra and the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats as
goddesses, Martin Luther. Victor Hugo. and Cardinal Wolsey
were devoted cat fans . And so was Ernest Hemingway and
Winston Churchill whose fireside companion was a big black
cat call “Nelson.”
The independent nature of the cat has endeared it to
such men as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Abra-
ham Lincoln. Cats are prized all over the world and the word
“cat” is phonetically similar in many languages: in French, it's
chat; in Spanish, gato; in German, Katze; and in Arable, Kit
