In the afternoon Mrs. W. B.
Kuykendall of Fort Worth was
the outstanding speaker. She
talked about “Weathered
Wood--The Threshold erf Ad-
venture”. She said that drift-
wood was a type of weather-
ed wood, but all “weathered
wood” was not driftwood. The
water causes the driftwood to
be light, but regular weather-
ed wood is heavy. She worked
fast and made 18 lovely flower
arrangements using weather-
ed wood and dr iftwood to dem-
onstrate her talk.

TELEPHONE SYSTEM

LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS
In an emergency, there’s nothing like a telephone to give
you immediate and prompt assistance. That’s why it’s a
good idea to keep emergency numbers handy—like the
police, fire station, ambulance service, doctor and hospital.
Of course, the telephone is always ready to serve. It’s
convenient and saves time, trouble and trips.
But, in an emergency, the telephone can be a real life-
saver. And to us, a low-cost security system has a nice
ring to it.
