Retirement never really came for
Mildred Fuhrmann.
In December, 1981, when she
retired from her work as a legal
secretary, Mrs. Fuhrmann took on
another type of work. That of being a
volunteer.
“I always wanted to do volunteer
work, but wasn't able to with work-
ing full-time," she explained. “When
I retired, I saw so many things that
needed to be done and I just couldn't
see myself sitting around."
She is actively involved with the
Clothes Closet, a part of Operation
Good Shepherd. The closet, located
at Wesley United Methodist Church,
houses clothes that individuals have
donated and which the volunteers
then sort and hang.
Mrs. Fuhrmann attended the first
organizational meeting for Opera-
tion Good Shepherd and started help-
ing with the Food Pantry at First
Baptist Church. Today, however,
most of her time is spent with the
Clothes Closet.
She is also co-chairman with Betty
Owen of the blood drive.
"We get out all the advertising and
try to get the committees working to
call people who have given blood
before," she said. "We call about 100
or more people.”
She began working with the blood
drive when she signed up for that
particular committee through the
Women's Division of the Chamber of
Commerce, another organization she
is involved in.
In addition. Mrs Fuhrmann is the
president of Friends of the Library
We purchase items for the library
and pay for all of their films." she ex-
plained
The upcoming book sale is part of
the fund-raising activities the group
sponsors to raise money for the
library
“I enjoy just watching everyone
come in and browse at the book
sale," she said "Some people stay
for hours.”
She and her husband. Ronald, par-
ticipate in the Merry Mixers Square
Dance Club. too.
“I'm not too good." she laughed,
but we really enjoy it."
Another dimension to Mrs
Fuhrmann's volunteer work is
church activities She works with
United Methodist Women and has
been actively involved in Camp Far-
thest Out for the last 17 years
We met the first weekend in
August near Happy. " she said "It's
really good to be able to get away
and have a closer walk with the
Lord.”
She is also a member of CFO's
council ring
Mr and Mrs Fuhrmann are
members of First United Methodist
Church and "try to take part in
everything that goes on at the
church " They are active in the
Homebuilders' Sunday School Class
and participate on the board
Before retiring. Mrs Fuhrmann
was a legal secretary for 23‘* years
with Witherspoon-Aikin and
Ungley.
“I really enjoyed the work and I
just love shorthand." she exclaimed
“I would really like to give shorthand
lessons I'm very proud to be a legal
secretary"
She said that one of the most im-
portant things she learned was that
clients' business is confidential
"You never divulge anything out-
side the office." she elaborated

A major item of interest from the
census data was the increase in
smaller farms, in both Texas and the
nation, says Steglin. Farms of one to
I nine acres increased 43.3 percent in
I Texas and 24.1 percent nationally,
while those of 10 to 49 acres juniped

ing as their main occupation rose 6.5
percent while the U.S. figure was
down 2.7 percent.
Texas farmers had an average age -
ot 52 4 years as compared to the U.S
average of 50.5 years, with a sharp
increase in farmers 65 years old and •
older. Stegelin points out. •,' .
Farms averaged 707 acres in '
Texas in 1982 compared to 439 for the - •
