Mrs. R. J. Sailor Guest
Speaker At Theta
Delta Chapter Meet
Many complain about the cost,
but few realize the benefits al-
ready derived from the space
program, said Mrs. R.J., Sailor,
Jr. , guest speaker at a meeting
of Theta Delta chapter of Delta
Kappa Gamma, Saturday, in
the Fellowship Hall of the United
Methodist Church in White Deer.
After tracing the progress of
the space program from the
launching of Sputnik in October,
1957, Mrs. Sailor said that more
than 2, 500 "spin-offs" have re-
sulted in better standards of
living in many areas.
In communication, space pro-
gram experiments have resulted
in international television not
only for news coverage but for
such things as business transac-
tions, airline scheduling, and
even a recent transatlantic med-
ical convention.
An orbiting satellite has
brought about earlier and more
accurate weather forecasting.
An observation satellite is
bringing new knowledge of earth
resources, useful in agriculture,
forestry, oceanography, and
other life sciences.
Experiments in hydroplaning
have resulted in the construc-
tion of safer highways.
Manufacturing has benefited
from new materials developed
through the space program, such
as malleable yet stronger metals,
fire resistant clothing for chil-
dren, firemen's suits, better
insulation, and even such com-
mon household items as teflon-
covered utensils and micro-
wave ovens.
Perhaps the greatest develop-
ments have been in the medi-
cal field, where new processes
ranging from plastic foam for
sickbeds, motorized wheelchairs
that can be operated by eye
movement by otherwise com-
pletely paralyzed persons, mov-
ies of the heart used in diag-
nosis, and a spectogram for
use in speech therapy, to a sub-
stance that can be sprayed on
a cardiac patient enabling con-
stant monitoring in the hospital.
These are but a few of the
more than 2, 500 "spin-offs"
already in use, with many more
in prospect.
Mrs. Sailor was introduced by
Mrs. John L. B. Johnson, and
after the speech, Mrs. W. H.
Evans led the group in singing
"A Prayer, " with Mrs. J. R.
Hogge accompanist.
In the business meeting, the
following officers for the next
biennium were elected: Presi-
dent, Miss Marjorie Ewing;
First Vice-President, Mrs. Jack
C. Williams; Second Vice-Pres-
ident, Mrs. Charles Burk; Re-
cording Secretary, Mrs. Lem
Greene; and Corresponding
Secretary, Mrs. L. R. Copeland.
The group then adjourned to
the chapel where Mrs. Ed Leh-
nick.was initiated as an active
member, in an impressive cere-
mony directed by Mrs. Freeman
Melton, Jr. , chairman of the
Ceremonials Committee, with
MLss Mary Ewing and Mrs. W.
K. Mackey in charge of the
music.
Hostesses were the White Deer-
Skellytown members; Mmes.
Lem Greene, Clifton Kelly,
Marguerite Hudgins, B. H. Mc-
Gee, Mary K. Diggs, and W.
H. Evans.
Twenty-five members were

MRS. HUDGINS ATTENDS
BUSINESS EDUCATORS
STATE CONVENTION
"Up, Up and Away with TBEA"
was the theme for the State
Convention of Business Educa- .
tors in Fort Worth, March 15-16.
Mrs. Marguerite Hudgins re-
ports that the luncheon at the
Marina Hotel, Regional Airport,
Friday noon was the most edu-
cational factor. A panel of five
executives was made up of the
Assistant Director of Personnel
and Equal Opportunity Officer
of Tarrant County Jr. College
District, Texas Employment
Commissioner of Ft. Worth,
Ft. Worth Law Firm represen-
tative, Personnel Manager of
a Ft. Worth paper manufactur-
ing firm and a Dallas Broad-
casting Executive.
Answers to some of the ques-
tions were: All used IBM Elec-
tric machines; if you have strike-
overs on a business letter, keep
it; spelling is a basic lack of
training; typing speed require-
ments 50-55 wpm, shorthand
dictation speed 80 wpm; Dic-
tating machines were not used
by any of the panel members
(they felt it to be a waste of
time); 2 years of college is pre-
ferred over 2 years of experi-
ence. Other factors were tele-
phone ettiquette, the secretary
is an extension of the boss's
personality, in every way be
a lady, pleasing personality,
ask questions if you don't under-
stand.
