I Longest Time? | Deputy Grand Matron
Visits Kermit Chapter
Monday, December 2,1974
An attractive and colorful
swag is shown here. In red,
green and white felt, the pretty
is easily made.
Wording on the top bell
reads:
Dec. 1 to Christmas is the
longest time of the year.
Seems like Old Santa will
never appear.
How Many days ‘till
Christmas?It’s so mighty hard
to count.
So, this little candy ribbon
will tell you the exact amount.
Untie a candy every night
when the Sandman casts his
spell,
And Christmas will be here
by the time you reach the bell.
Merry Christmas to All!
Small candy canes wrapped
in cellophane are tied to the
felt, one candy for each day
from “now, ‘til Christmas.”
White yarn thread, tied in
slip knots, was used for the
swag pictured.

Morris Speaks
At Club Meet
Robert L. (Bob) Morris, area
manager of Baker Oil Tool
Inc., was guest speaker for
Kermit Business and
Professional Women’s Club
Tuedsay night during the
November social meeting in
Mesquite Room of Kermit
State Bank.
In introducing the speaker,
Mrs. D. H. Godwin, civic
participation chairman, stated
that she could not think of
anyone better suited to speak
about civic participation than
Bob Morris.
For example, even with the
very busy schedule of his job,
he finds time to take an active
part in the local Rotary club,
area scouting, school board and
many other activities.
“Area Oil Industry” was the
topic of the program.
Beginning his slide presentation
with the earliest known
equipment used in our area,
the Moorhead Derrick, Morris
continued with various phases
of area oil industry. Showing
its growth into modern day
equipment and activities.
Through his very effective
naration an understanding of
the industry was effected.
Prior to the program, Mr.
and Mrs. Morris joined club
members for buffet salad
supper in the Blue Room of
the bank.
Hostesses for the evening
were Mrs. Jack Carter and Mrs.
James Green.
Butterflies
Though butterflies love to trav-
el, they are lazy compared to
bees. They do not store food for
the winter but travel to warmer
regions, hibernate in hollow trees
and dark crannies of houses, or
just die.

Louise Allen f
On a cold day last week our
car window with an automatic
control refused to close. Of
course it had to be Saturday,
so we froze, and listened to
outside noises, for three days
until we could get it repaired. I
stood in the entrance of a
women’s dress shop recently
and thought what a blessing
airconditioning is. Winter or
summer, it allows us to shut
ourselves in and noises out.
The heavy glass entrance door
wasn’t more than twenty feet
from a heavily travelled street.
Yet the sound was only a
background hum, not the
deafening roar it would have
been with the door open. :
What is one man's, s^und, is
another’s noise. To the hard of
hearing, high notes are piercing
and hurt the eardrums. Yet the
television set, to be audible for
them, must be turned up to an
almost unbearable level for
the average ear. High-decibel
count on modern tapes and
records is music to the young,
but maddening for their elders
whose ears are attuned to
softer sounds.
Within the average home,
sound has been classified in
three types: 1) direct airborne
transmission, such as
conversation, radio or
phonograph that become
unwanted noise when they
penetrate to other rooms; 2)
structure-borne sound, such as
a slammed door or heavy
footsteps; 3) reflected sound or
secondary transmissions when
ordinary noises are distorted
by reverberation within a
room. Carpeted floors, thick
doors, acoustical ceilings,
draperies and blinds all help
control noise in the modern
home.
Sound that becomes
irritating wears on the nerves.
Quietness is restful, especially
for those who have to work
where sound is a part of the
game.

SLENDER-ADE...
FOR WEIGHT LOSS AND
"Fat" is an ugly word — a word no one likes to hear, but being
fat is much worse. Not only does fat look ugly but it is a medically
known fact that fat can cause blood pressure and heart problems.
According to national statistics, two-thirds of the people in the U. S.
are overweight.
A firm in Fort Worth, Texas has developed a new food just for
you. It is not only nutritious, but, unlike most diets, it TASTES
GOOD. Slender Ade, Inc. believes it has the answer for almost
anyone desiring to lose weight. Combining proteins, vitamins and
minerals, this program provides 40 of the essential nutrients for
good health plus a safe, effective aid in weight loss. This has been
accomplished while taking into consideration the spiraling prices of
food. Slender Ade costs about 35 cents per meal.jBy comparison a
"good hamburger" cannot be purchased for this pdee, establishing a
good economic base which is nutritionally sound.
The weight loss program is basically simple; it consists of a
balanced intake of nutrition, high in protein, low in carbohydrates
and hydrogenated fats. Because protein keeps your blood sugar on
an even keel all day, you do not crave the "quick energy," high
calorie foods. But more important, protein steps up your
metabolism, causing the body to burn more calories than were
consumed; hence, a gradual weight loss. On the Slender Ade
program there is no mid-morning or afternoon letdown, no "hunger
pains or weakness" as often happens with other diets. It is a
delicious, nutritious way to lose weight and feel great.
Slender Ade is simply eaten in conjunction with, or instead of,
your present meals. It is not only easy to take, but very easy to
make; just mix two tablespoons with milk or juice in a blender,
shaker or jar. It is instantized and enzyme bonded, thus making a
delicious shake with no lumpy residue. Taken along with the
vitamin-mineral packet. Slender Ade is the fast, pleasant way to let
the real you take shape.

THE BROWNSTONE HOUSE
by Rae Foley
The Brownstone House, old
and run down, was a strange
Christmas present for a man as
rich as Marshall Phelps to give
his daughter Hope, and a
fatally unlucky one. But it had
no aura of violence when Susan
Lockwood reluctantly
accepted Hope’s offer of the
rent-free apartment on the
second floor. Someone is heard
moving about in the empty
fourth floor, and soon
afterwards a strangled body is
found in the hallway. The
killer strikes again, and susan
receives a grim warning that
she is marked as the third
victim. Here is an intense and
closely plotted story of love
and murder and of the
terrifying secrets hidden in a
house of horrows.
WEED, Adventures of a Dope
Smuggler by Jerry Kamstra
This highly readable book is
about marijuana and marijuana
smuggling but it is also about
Mexico itself. What started out
as a simple photographic
expedition turned into a major
smuggling operation involving a
ton of marijuana and the
hair-raising means — ocean and
air — used to bring the weed
into the States. This absorbing
story reads like an adventure
novel — but it is all true.
MRS. TIM FLIES HOME by D.
E. Stevenson
In this final volume, Mrs.
Tim has problems with a
malicious gossip and a singular
unpleasant landlady. But two
young romances enliven the
village and the book closes on a
note of infectious happiness.
ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND
BEAUTIFUL by James Herriot
This is the sequel to All
Creatures Great and Small and
James, the miracle worker, has
done it again. All Things Bright
and Beautiful is precisely the
warm and joyful sequel that
readers all over America have
been asking for. James
continues the rich and
rewarding day-to-day life of a
small-town veterinarian, and
we journey with him across the
dales meeting a whole new cast
of unforgettable characters —
humans, dogs, horses, lambs,
parakeets — all of the drawn
with the same infinite
fascination, affection and
insight that have made Herriot
one of the most beloved
authors of our time.
PREY OF THE EAGLE by
Phyllis G. Leonard
When Marianna Latimer first
arrived at the vast 16th
Century mansion called El
Nido del Aguila - The Nest of
the Eagle — she had the curious
sensation of having come
home. Not until later does she
grasp the full import of the
bloody tragedy that has stained
the rosy stones of El Nido back
in the time of Cortez.
Marianna, a proper Bostonian
librarian, has inherited the
mansion upon the death of the
last member of her family in
1881. Why is someone trying
to kill her or drive her mad?
Someone obviously is — she is
locked in a room with deadly
scorpions, and there follows a
series of murder attempts, with
drugs, poison, incense. There is
no one to turn to, no one to
trust — even the man with
whom she has fallen in love
might well be a murderer and
not until the feasting and
dancing in the great hall where
r
j
i
she is spirited away by her
terrible and mysterious
enemies, does she discover
what it means to be the “Prey
of the Eagle.”
CANDLES IN THE WOOD by
Alexandra Manners
In this, her new novel,
Alexandra Manners again
reveals herself as the
spellbinding storyteller whose
previous work, The Stone
Maiden, catapulted her into the
front ranks as a mistress of the
classic gothic genre. Candles in
the Wood is, in every way, a
worthy successor.
