BASTROP ADVERTISER JANUARY 19, 1950
PROCLAMATION
The Texas Federation of Music
Clubs has declared January 29-
February 4 as David Guion Week
in Texas, and has requested that
all music clubs in the state spon-
sor some observance of it.
The Bastrop Harmony Club has
set aside Thursday, February 2,
l£fO, to celo j.ate their fift e' l
anniversary with a program of
David Guion Music.
David Guion has contributed
more valuable music literature
to the world than any other
Texas composer. A true Texan, he
has been the first to take the
fiddle tunes and make concert ar-
rangements of them. He glorified
the negro spiritual and has done
many cowboy arrangements. He
also composed thr«.e numbers of
the Texas Ballet, which have be-
come outstanding classics.
THEREFORE, I, as mayor of
Bastrop, do hereby proclaim the
week of January 29-Februcry 4
as David Guion Week in Bastrop,
in recognition of the work he has
done.
J. GORDON BRYSOX,
Mayor of Bastrop.

You'll fill the doctor's "prescription" perfectly with odequote,
vented, automatic natural gas heating. You'll like gas heating for
other reasons, too—for its cleanliness, its dependability, its low
cost. Heating the home is only one of the many jobs natural gas
does for you—efficiently and economically!
Natural Gas Service Is a Planned Service
Gas company technicians are continually exploring for new gas
fields, drilling new wells, building new processing plants and com*
pressor stations, and laying hundreds of miles of new pipe lines.
This is all part of the service—-costing the gas industry millions of
dollars each year—that assures Gulf South residents a continued
supply of the world's finest fuel, for only a few cents a day.
