economist believes farmers
should start paying more atten-

eat what farmers produce. Eat-

the economist. Therefore, it’s
important for producers to know

products

'The stresses of an immense
population to the city; the empp-
cipation of women and the
emergency to the labor market
and the constant tf^at of in-
teraatiotohi instability — these
are a few of the new influences
impinging on • the American
home ? ’ •.- , %’
What then is our obligation to
the coming generation to pre
pare them to meet the chal-
lenges of a changing world?:
Mrs. B. F. Seay of Andrews,
president of Texas- Federation,
of Women’s Clubs, pointed out
to members of Ballinger Wo-
man’s Chib and . their guests
on Wednesday, the need of a
home with emotional and spirit-
ual stability for all the family
members. ,
Youth is our promise of a
shining tomorrow-the world goes
forward on their feet. Where
these feet will lead the world, is
determined by which road they'
walk, now, with us as adults,
she said.
Mrs Seay told of our Federa-
tion today, as it has since it
was organized, sponsoring edu-
cational scholarship, establish-
ing libraries, working with men-
tally retarded, encouraging mu-
sic and art in our communities.
All the educational skills
taught in our schools are as
nothing if we allow facts, in
vontivetiess, and possession of
knowledge to become unprin-
cipled. We must give our youth
guide lines to. follow.
Mrs. Seay stated that the cul-
tural resources survey of 550
towns and cities in Texas made
possible the permanent estab-
lishment and finding of the Tex-
as Fine Arts Commission.
The reason for-belonging to a
Federated Club are varied she
said First, it is a means of coo
tinuing education; second, it of-
fers a forum where a woman
can be heard; third; a club
offers opportunity to be an ef-
fective citizen — and can be-
come more aware of civic and
social responsibility; and the
club develops leadership.
Women hold 54% of voting
franchise and women can con-
trol many things facing us to
day — by voting.
Mrs. Seay concluded her talk
moot sincere gratitude to all
who were so kind and thought-
ful -to us during our mother’s
illness and at her death. For
all the visits, cards and pray-
ers, we are most grateful; also
to the women who prepared
food and saw to our comfort.
. Our special thanks to Dr.
Chandler and all the nurses at
Twilite Acres Nursing Home
and to Rev. Ferris Akins and
Rev. Bill Swindler for their vis-
its to her, and for their ministry
to all of us. It has made our
grief easier to bear.
God bless everyone of
you i bur prayer?

HERE’S WHAT SOME OF OUR GRADUATES SAY:
SENATOR WILLIAM PROXMIRE — i must say that this was one of the most useful
educational experiences I’ve ever had It certainly compares favorably with the ex
penences I've had at Yale and Harvard ”
SENATOR HERMAN E TALMADGE. Georgia — 'It is my opinion that it these tech-
niques were instituted in the public and private schools of our country, it would lie
the greatest single step we could take in educational progress ”
DR NOLAN ESTES/Superintendent. Riverview Gardens School District in St Ixiuis —
“This is one of the most exciting developments in the improvement of reading 'kills.
Many students would benefit from a course sueh as this.’’

Since grain and forage crops
are subject to insect attack
throughout the growing season,
farmers and ranchers in Run

Crops." says C. T Parker Jr.,
Runnels County agent.
