With Party December 22
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Hassell
and sons Morris, Jr. and
Charles entertained Saturday
night, Dec. 22 with open house
at their home on 1300 E.
Copeland Street.
The entrance to the home
was lined with hurricane
lights. The door was adorned
with a lovely hogarth
arrangement of holly, birds
nests, poinsettias and red
birds.
The Hassell family greeted
guests in the entrance hall. A
table in the hall held an
arrangement of holly, poin-
settias and white reindeer.
The refreshment table was
covered with pink net and pink
felt over pink satin. The
centerpiece was a lovely
arrangement of red poin-
settias, pink carnations and
fern.
The den of the Hassell home
featured lovely arrangements
of pink and red poinsettias.
The green Christmas tree was
decorated in red Christmas
balls, red roses, red bows, red
birds and gold tinsel and gold
icicles.
Refreshments of salmon
mold, miniature meat balls,
cheese balls, ham puffs, cheese
logs, chicken salad in minia-
ture pastry shells, cheese
twists, cherry muffins, fruit
cookies and assorted nuts were
served to the 200 guests who
attended.
Mrs. J. W Summers and
Mrs. Klma Musick alternated

Mrs. W.M. Viningand Mrs I S.
Chapman presided at the silver

M. Boone, Mrs Raymond

bert, Mrs. Jack Fitts and Mrs.
Robert von Doenhoff.
Out of town guests attending

Brunt of Tyler; Mr. and Mrs.
Summers Norman, Mr. and

Black and Wayne Guinn of
Houston and Ray Steed of
Houma, Louisiana
be dismissed from office
before the end of their term* by
petition and special election of
the citizens in their areas.
Thirteen state constitutions
contain recall provisions.
Temple said this provision
was particularly needed with
the new four year terms for
state wide elected officials.
The Diboll representative
said, "It is intolerable that in
Texas an elected public official
can violate the public trust,
either by incompetence, in-
action, or corruption, in the
most blatant fashion, and
continue to hold his office for
several years with the public
being unable to act."
Temple said such a mech-
anism would also go far to
temper the arrogance assumed
by some elected officials after
taking office.
The Initiative and Referen-
dum allow citizens to pass or
repeal laws without action of
the Legislature. Some 20
states have Initiative provi-
sions in their constitutions.
They provide that a citizen or
group of citizens may draft a
law and, after obtaining
signatures of usually 10 per
cent of the voters in the state,
have the measure placed on
the ballot for a majority of the
citizens to enact or turn down.
The Referendum is a similar
petition and election device
that allows the citizens to
repeal a law already enacted
by the legislature.
Temple stated that his
reason for supporting these
items was that any ne>f
Constitution would likely in-
crease th? powers of the
legislative and executive
branches of the state govern-
ment.
"The increased authority
given to those branches of
government must be offset by
reserving to the citizens of the
state the power of Initiative,
Referendum, and Recall,"
Temple said.
