Porter Fire Dept. Ladies
Auxiliary Has Cook Book
The Ladies Auxiliary of
the Porter Volunteer Fire
Department held its month-
ly meeting in the home of
Mrs. L.R. Mayer Feb. 11.
A new cookbook "Your
Favorite Recipes” com-
piled by the auxiliary is due
to arrive from the printers
by March 11. The books will
go on sale for $2 a copy and
are guaranteed "husband
tested,” a member of the
auxiliary said. She also
suggested that the books
be bought as gifts as well
as to keep.
Books will be sold at
Johnetts Variety Store,
Mrs. J.C. Henry’s and by
all members of the aux-
iliary.
A campaign for new mem-
bers is being launched by
the group. Mrs. Earl Mas-
sey was welcomed as a new
member at the last meet-
ing. An auxiliary member
explained that it is not
necessary for a ladies
husband be a member of
the volunteer fire depart-
ment in order for her to
become a member. Anyone
interested in joining the
group is asked to contact
Mrs. C.L Fleming at 354-
2457 or any member of the
auxiliary.
A surprise baby shower
was given in honor of Mrs.
Robert Baron at the close
of the meeting.

candidate for sweetheart
at a Methodist Youth Fel-
lowship sub-district
banquet and dance Satur-
day night, placed third
among seven candidates
from churches in Houston
and north Harris County.
Nine members and guests
of the Humble MYF attend-
ed the banquet at Oakwood
Mehtodist Church in Hous-
ton.
first vice president; Mrs.
W.L. Trigg, second vice
president; Mrs. Mary Hin-
son, secretary; and Mrs.
L.L. Miller, treasurer.
Committee chairmen
were asked by the president
to remain the same as the
previous year.
Mrs. Tuttle requested
members bring floral ar-
rangements for the church
altar on Friday, Feb. 14,
for the World Day of Pray-
er service.
The Program was "Con-
servation of Wild Flow-
ers.” Mrs. Tuttle began
the program by giving a
humorous reading "Flower
Picking, Self-Taught.”
Mrs. Fannie Hester told the
group that some 5,000
species of wild flowers
grow in Texas. She added,
though, that with the ex-
pansion of civilization with
its bulldozers and other
earth moving equipment in-
to what was once known as
the country, we are likely
to lose many of our wild
flowers.
She suggested to mem-
bers that they plant wild
flowers in with their seed-
ed beds of flowers. Maps
dividing the United States
into nine sections in which
wild flowers of different
states are found to flourish
best were presented to the
members.
Hostesses for the meet-
ing were Mrs. J.L. Snell-
ings, Mrs. Kelcy Isenberg
and Miss Anna Beth Butler.
The next meeting of the
club will be held in the home
of Mrs. Hayne Sheffield
March 12.
Library Notes
No parent doubts the value
of good books in helping
hi§ qhildren prepare their
education. The books chil-
dren find in the library can
help them in school and
broaden their intellectual
horizon, giving them super
preparation for higher ed-
ucation. All the children’s
books in your Humble
branch library have been
selected by a well quali-
fied librarian that know
children’s books.
If your child is a slow
reader bring him to the
library. We will hlep him
select something he is in-
terested in and help him to
become a better reader.
Easy , easy junior books:

Look at Night by Jeanne
George
Washington
Said:
Citizens by birth, or choice, of a common country,
that country has the right to concentrate your
affections. The name of American, which belongs
to you in your national capacity, must always
exalt the just pride of patriotism, more than any
appellation derived from local discrimination . . .
You have, in a common cause, fought and triumph-
ed together; the independence and liberty you
possess, are the work of joint counsels, and joint
efforts, of common dangers, sufferings and suc-
cesses.
