THE TOM MIX MUSEUM, Dewey, Oklahoma, is a hall of fame to the celebrated
cowboy-actor of the silent film era, whose white hat became the trademark of
"good guys." Mix began his film career just outside Dewey and starred in more than
300 films throughout his lifetime. He also served a term as Dewey town marshal.
The museum--open daily--houses personal belongings, cowboy trappings, and
movie memorabilia that tell Mix's exciting life story. The fabulous $15,000 saddle
worn by "Tony, the Wonder Horse" is on display.
Across the street from the museum is the grand Dewey Hotel, built in the
1890's and now open for guided tours after an extensive refurbishing.
Follow the white hat signposts to these Dewey attractions, just north of
Bartlesviile. (Oklahoma Tourism Photo)
On the 0aper jacket of today's light bulbs are three ratings:
t. WATTS: This tells you how much electricity goes into the bulb.
2. LUMENS: This tells you the amount of light output.
3. HOURS: This tells you how long the bulb will normally last.
The best buy depends on what you use the bulb for. If you're
buying it for reading or studying, you want brightness so buy
luminance. If you want extra-life and more brightness, pick an
extra-life bulb with a high luminance rating, If you're buying it for
a closet or attic, buy more hours.
Like everything electric, light bulbg have come a long way to
help im0rove the quality of living.
and that,s how you
for you! money!

Inheritance Tax
Saves Money
Oklahoma's newly-signed in-
heritance tax reform law has
been called a "great, potential
money-saver for widows and
heirs of Oklahoma farmers."
Lewis Mann, president of the
Oklahoma Farm Bureau, refer-
red to Senate Bill 103 which was
signed into law by Governor
David Aall May 17. The mea-
sure eliminates all separate es-
tate tax exemptions, and in-
creases the basic exemption to
$60,000 on estates passing to
lineal heirs.
"There are many cases on
record where the wife of a far-
mer or rancher has been for-
ced to sell part of her farm
merely to pay the inheritance
tax due on the deceased per-
son's estate," Mann explained.
"Although this new law is
not a panacea for inheritance
tax problems, it will go a long
way toward saving heirs' money
and keeping family farms in-
tact. It certainly doe,
inate the need for
ance or estate
