Pay Centers Added
By Phone Company
Arrangements have been com
pleted for Southwestern State
Telephone Co. customers to pay
their telephone bills at four new
pay centers in Bryan-College Sta
tion, G. M. Brennan, division man
ager, announced Monday.
The four centers are Gibson's
Products Company, 1420 Highway
6 South; Lone Star Grocery &
Washateria, 19th and San Jacinto;

At least two major changes af
fecting the financial status of
American families have taking
place during the past decade: dou
ble paychecks and more family
savings.
This was observed by Mrs. Wan
da Meyer, Extension home manage
ment specialist at A&M.
Approximately 40 percent of the
families with wage earners in 1950
were receiving two or more pay-
checks, compared with more than
50 per cent of wage earner fami
lies now receiving two or more
paychecks.
The working wife is primarily
J responsible, Mrs. Meyer said. One
out of three married women are
now employed.
Average family income during
the past 10 years has risen from
$3,300 to just under $6,000. The
average is for the nation as a
whole. In many instances, two or
more paychecks have served to
boost family income into the
$10,000 or higher bracket.
U-Tote-Em No. 1, 105 Walton
Drive, and Madeley Pharmacy, 334
Jersey.
The centers are in addition to
the two existing centers, Orr’s
Supermarket No. 2, 3516 Texas
Avenue, and Weingarten’s In
corporated at 1010 South College
Avenue.
Brennan reminded telephone cus
tomers that the centers would col
lect full payment only and that
partial payments or adjustments
must still be handled through the
business office. Telephone sub
scribers are also asked to bring
their telephone bills with them
when making payment at any of
the six Bryan-College Station pay
centers.
“This new collection service was
designed as an additional con-
vience for our Bryan-College Sta
tion telephone subscribers,” Bren
nan explained.
“The business office will still be
available to handle service re
quests or questions about telephone
bills.”

Mrs. Edith DeBusk, national president, The
Christmas Trees Can Be Preserved!
Would you like to keep your
Christmas tree after Christmas?
You can, said Bill Smith, for
ester of the A&M Agricultural
Extension Service, provided you
select a live tree that will grow
in Texas.
“Live trees, with the roots
wrapped in a ball of soil, are
sold to be planted outdoors after
Christmas,” Smith said.
Trees that may be expected to
live in most areas of the state
include arborvitae, Arizona cy
press, eastern redcedar, and
shortleaf pine. Other trees, such
as Douglas fir or Scotch pine
should not be expected to live.
These species require cool and
moist growing conditions unlike
those found in Texas, he said.
To help the live Christmas tree
survive after planting, follow
these rules:
1. Do not move the tree in
doors before it is to be decorated.
2. While the tree is in the
house, be sure its roots do not
