20th Century Club Has "Texas Day"
Program At Regular Meet Wednesday

The 20th Century Club met a
he Woman's Forum on March 21
'or a regular meeting, with Mrs
ft. K. Lee, president, presiding.
The theme for the day "Twtaf
Day," was presented by Mrs. Ber
J. Dean Sr. and Mrs. L. D. Haw-
kins, who gave biographies of two
of the outstanding legislative and
judicial figures of the state.
"The Djnamo Of Capitol Hill
Mr. Speaker" was given by Mrs
Dean. The life of Sam Rayburn
has n« parallel. He has served in
Congress under seven presidents,
and for 43 years, and has been a
strong influence in the Washing-
ton scene. .
"He has been elected by his con-
stituents to Congress £2 times in
a row, anM three times has been
rhosen by his fellow Democrats for
tne Speakership, a post he has held
more years than any individual in
history," Mrs. Dean said.
"As a lawmaker, he is widely re-
garded as the most powerful man
in Washington these days except
for the President himself. He has
never been given to oratory; he
has never kissed a baby for cam-
paign purposes, and has never
worn a ten-gallon hat, even though
he is an ardent Texan," Mrs. Dean
presented a wealth of information
about Mr. Speaker pointing out
his record of service, some inci-
dents in his personal life, and much
about the man in Washington.
"Judge Sarah T. Hughes of Dal-
las was elected one of the vice-
presidents of the International
Federation of Business and Pro -
fessionat Women in .Stockholm,
Sweden. She has been active in
the courts of the land for many
years and is recognized by other
lawyers and judges as a fine law-
yer. Her present civic offices are:
member of board of directors.
Council of Social Agencies; Dallas
Day Nursery Association, Light-
house for the Blind: I'NESCO;
Trustee Goucher College," Mrs.
Hawkins summarized.

For the month of March, the
following suggestions are offered.
■ If digging was not completed in
: the fall, get busy as soon as the
around is workable. Top dress or
fertilize and re-seed bun? patches
on the lawn. Almost all vegetables
ran be planted by late March.
! Plant Dahlia tubers. Plant zennias,
marigold and tender annuals after
March 15.
When mesquite and oak trees
| put out leaf buds, it is time to set
out seedlings of cosmos, marigold
dahlia, portulaca, alyssum and

all bulbs including calendula, can-
na, tube-roses and other summer
bulbs.
