entertained their husbands with
a chicken-spaghetti supper at the
home of Mrs. T. M. Jones, with
the occasion taking place of the
club’s regular meeting. Mrs. R.

The supper was served buffet

tainer that carried out the Val-

Spring flowers throughout the
house lent an air of much gaity,
which was enjoyed by all in

Meets On Monday
Evening At School
The OH Union Parent-Teacher
Association met Monday evening
at the school building with twen-
ty-three members and a number
of visitors present. Included in
the visitors was Marvin Amer-
son, County Superintendent.
After the correction of min-
utes, Mrs. O. C. Miller read a let-
ter from H. H. J. Fling, former
Titus County teacher, whom she
had asked to be the principal
speaker at the homecoming on
July 4.
The group voted to pay dues
and join the Tri-County P-TA
Council, and the monthly letter
from Mrs. Swenson was read and
discussed.
Mrs. Lonnie Williams had
charge of the program, and the
following readings were given:
“Our First President"—(Mary
Ellen Rhea.
"Abraham Lincoln"—Kenneth
Butler.
Poem, “The Touch of the Mas-
ter’s Hand”—Mrs. Miller.
Earl Kirk gove a very inter-
esting discussion n "Teamwork
for Better Citizenship.” He stated
that children reflect the kind of
homelife they have, in later years
as well as now. He stressed that
homelife is more important than
school in making a good citizen,
but schools and home both have
their place in the life of every
boy and girl.
Plans were made for a Valen-
tine party for the children to be
held at the school February 4.
The group also voted to secure
Marvin Amerson as master of
ceremonies at the homecoming.
The program ended with Mr.
Amerson leading the group in a
round table discussion on "Com-
plaints and Compliments.”
The next meeing will be on
February 6.
Miss Bettye Colley, bride-elect
of Carleton Skipper of Fort
Worth, was honoree at a pretty
shower given from 3 until 5 p.m.,
Saturday, at the home of Mrs.
Clyde Southerland, with Mrs.
Earl Crane as co-hostess. Flow-
ers used in the living room were
red carnations and azaleas.
The lovely refreshment table
was covered with an exquisite
handmade cloth and centered
with a crystal bowl of pipk car-
nations and pink mums, flanked
with white tapers in crystal hold-
ers. A large punch set filled
with green punch, trays of cookies
and dainty napkins embossed with
“Bettye and Carelton" in silver
completed the table setting.
Mrs. Southerland greeted the
guests at the door, and the hon-
that the national pastime has re-
turned once more. Along with
that kind of thinking, we are be-
ginning to wonder about Mt,
Pleasant's plans for the coming
year. We know that the Quarter-
back Club has tried to get the
operation of the local club, but so
far, everything has been stymied.
We don’t know by whom, or
what, or when; iwe don’t care to
know either. All that we feel
about the situation is that some
of the baseball fans should quit
talking and thinking and do some
doing.
First thing we all know it will
be time to start and we won’t I
have any players lined up. Since I
we have been back in town we
have heard talk to the effect that
maybe the Dallas Eagles were
going to put in a farm club here
in Mt. Pleasant. The story goes
so far as to hint that a ’delega-
tion of folks are going in. to see
Dick Burnett about doing just
that. We’d like to save those
boys the effort and expense of
the trip if we can, because we
know that Burnett doesn’t just
put up the money for an organiz-
ed ball team on the strength of

When you see something, you
have got to believe it. We saw
the Tigers play Talco last nignt
and we can honestly say that
the improvement is terrific. Last
night was the first time iwe had
seen the boys in action for about
three weeks, and we are really
hot for the Tigers now. The last
time the Talco Trojans encounter-
ed the Tigers, the boys just loaf-
ed through to a one-sided win.
It was a different story last night.
The Trojans 'were greatly im-
proved, and they really made a
game out of the first half. We
don’t have any idea about what
went on at half time in the dress-
ing room, but it must have been
the “key.” The boys all played
a much better game during the
second half, and there was no
doubt as to the outcome after
the first three minutes of tne
third period. We have known all
