In its meeting last Friday <
home of Mrs. Emory Christian
Friday Literary Club enjoyed a po-
litical-historical program on vice-
presidents who became presidents.
Mrs. C. I. Witt acted as chairman and
gave the first discussion on John
Tyler and Millard Fillmore. Mrs.
Homer Sears discussed Andrew
Johnson and Chester A. Arthur. Mrs.
Clarence McMillinn gave the history
of the careers of Theodore Roosevelt
and Calvin Coolidge. Mrs. Olivia
Whedbee closed the program with
the biography of Harry S. Truman.
Each number was interestingly pre-
sented and members felt benefitted
by the enlargement of their historical
knowledge. The club as a whole
sang the national anthem.
In the business session, Mrs. C. J.
Meador and Mrs. Olivia Whedbee,
president and 1st vice-president of
the club, were elected as delegates to
the district meeting of 2nd District of
T. F. W. C. in Dallas next month.
Contributions were given to the Pen-
ny Art Fund and the Penny Music
Fund of the Federation.
Refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served by the hostess.
The March 1st meeting will be in
the home of Mrs. Meador.
Cousin Minnie says she will go half
way toward patching up a quarrel
she has had with another woman.
She feels it is terribly good of her to
go half way, even if she was entire-
ly to blame for the quarrel. How-
ever, she goes half way in such a de-
fiant manner that the other woman
thinks she is trying to start more
trouble. Minnie stands erect, with
her jaws set firmly, when she is go-
ing half way, and it is plain she is
demanding that the other woman
reach the halfway mark first. Minnie
will not step up to the line until the
enemy is already there.. Yes, she will
go half way toward patching up a
quarrel, but under no circumstances
will she go an inch further to bring
about peace. It is only in starting a
quarrel that Minnie will go all the
way.
Chaney H. Corse, Grayson Coun-
ty Boy Scout executive, was guest
speaker at the Rotary Club luncheon
Friday. He was presented by Russell
Summers, program chairman. The
Rotary Club sponsors the Boy Scout
troop in Whitewright, which at the
present does not have a scoutmaster.
Mr. Corse spoke on the importance
of having a good scoutmaster, and
said there should be no trouble in
finding one in Whitewright to take
charge of the troop. He recommend-
ed one or two assistants for the
scoutmaster, so the work could be
divided.
The club had a 100 percent attend-
ance meeting, which is getting to be
common.
Sgt. Boyd Newman, who recently
returned from India, made a short
talk.
A committee was appointed by B.
W. Newman, president of the club,
to arrange for a rat killing in White-
wright. The committee is composed
of Marshall Hasty, Griffin Dollarhide
Jr. and Gomer May. The committee
got busy at once and Guy Wilkinson
of the Grayson County Health Unit
was in Whitewright Wednesday di-
recting the placing of 1080—the new
rat poison—in business houses. This
morning business men found a num-
ber of dead rats when they opened
their places of business. This new
poison was developed during the war,
and is said to be a “knock out” to
rats. The poison is being gathered
up this morning so animals may not
come in contact with it.
straws, reblocking and restyling were
demonstrated. Several hats were re-
styled to be worn at next club meet-
ing, February 26.
Lunch was served. The following
were visitors: Mrs. Myrtle Fulton,
Whitewright; Mrs. Charles Davis and
Mrs. E. H. Gant, Tom Bean; Mrs.
Jack Hune and Mrs. Eva Glider, Pi-
lot Grove; Mrs. T. C. Cowart, Dallas;
Mrs. Horace Miller, Whitewright.
The Bethel Home Demonstration
Club met Tuesday for a hat “clinic,”
conducted by Mrs. John R. Watson
of Savoy. Cleaning both felt and
the First Baptist Church, performed
the double ring ceremony before the
improvised altar. White candles
burned in floor candelabra and large
white baskets of pink gladioli flanked
the altar.
The bride, given in marriage by
her brother, wore a gown of white
silk covered with raised flowers of
satin. The material was sent from
China by the groom while he was
there on duty with the Army Air
Forces. The gown was designed
with a sweetheart neckline, long
sleeves terminating in points over the
hands, and a tightly fitting basque
------ —v „ —... Her finger-
tip-length veil of illusion, which was
edged in medallions of imported lace,
was attached to a head piece of
matching lace, and her only jewelry
was an iron-diamond brooch, gift of
the groom. She carried a puff bou-
quet of white carnations and sweet-
peas, showered with white satin rib-
bons and stephanotis.
MisS Leta Medearis attended the
bride as maid of honor. She wore an
all-over printed, blue silk gown,
made on the same design as that of
the bride’s. Her flowers were pink
carnations.
Juanita Chapman was bridesmaid.
She wore a white silk gown f ’
ioned with an off-the-shoulder neck- ter, Bonham.
line, short sleeves and a full skirt.
Her flowers were also pink carna-
tions.
Roy E. Martin attended his brother
as best man. Wayne Martin, brother
of the groom, was groomsman.
At the reception following the cere-
mony the table, laid with a lace
cloth, was centered with an arrange-
ment of pink and white gladioli and.
ferm with tall white tapers. The
buffet was centered with pink glad-
ioli and fern. Presiding at the bride’s
book was Miss Clyde Russell. After
the tiered wedding cake was cut by
the bride and groom it was served by
Miss Jewell Medearis and Mrs. Rob-
ert L. Jones, assisted by Miss Doro-
thy Wallace at the crystal punch
bowl.
After a wedding trip, the couple
will be at home in Dallas, where the
groom will be stationed at Hensley
Army Air Base.
For traveling the bride wore an
ocean blue silk dress with brown ac-
cessories and a gardenia corsage.
