Mrs. Pefer Fox Reviews Book For
Presbyterian Women of the Church
Mrs. Peter Fox reviewed the
foreign mission study book,
"Where'er The Sun," for the First
Presbyterian Women of The
Church on Monday afternoon.
The book is by Samuel Hugh Mof-
fett. Mrs. Fox sketched the life
of the author, who is the son of
Samuel A. Moffett. The father was
a missionary to Northern Korea
when there was not a single Christ-
ian inhabitant there.
Back To Korea
The author was missionary to
China from 1947 to 1951 and is now
planning to go to Korea to continue
the work started by his father.
In reviewing the book, Mrs. Fox
told of the work of Christian mis-
sionaries, "following the sun" as
the author states—first in Korea,
then China. India, the Philippines,
the Solomon Islands, Africa, Eu-
rope, and South America.
"Let us not forget there is a
great need for the spread of the
Gospel among our own North Am-
erican Indians and mountaineers,"
Mrs. Fox pointed out.
Song Title
Preceding the review, the group
sang Isaac Watts' hymn, "Jesus
Shall Reign Where'er The Sun,"
the song which gave the book its
title. When this song was written
in 1718, Mrs. D. A. Sharpe pointed
out, there were only two Protestant
missionaries in the world.
Mrs. Sharpe led the devotional,
using a portion of Psalms 72. Mrs.
Sam Leland Glass presided for bus-
iness. Mrs. Royal Headrick said
the opening prayer.
Mrs. Cornelius
Club Hostess
Mrs. Buck Cornelius, 1404 East
12th, was hostess Thursday to the
Tumblewood Home Demonstration
Club. Mrs. Ellis McJunkins presid-
ed.
Mrs. J. P. Windham reported on
council for the council delegated,
Mrs. Gwen Morgan, who was ab-
sent. "New Trends" were given
during roll call. Mrs. Bill Harvey
made a financial report, and told
of plans for serving meals at the
Fat Stock Show.
Miss Hawthorn
"Planning The Wardrobe" was
the program topic given by Miss
Sue Hawthorn, county HD agent.
She advised the women to make
over things which they no longer
wear, to study fashions, to list what
clothing is needed, and to coordi-
nate the wardrobe around one basic
color before buying.
Mrs. Cornelius gave a five-min-
ute demonstration making tailor's
tacks.
Fruit cake, whipped cream, cof-
fee and mints were served to Mrs.
Hildreth. Miss Leila Webb, Mrs. G.
T. Webb, and Miss Sue Hawthorn,

To The Citizens Of Sweetwater,
Nolan And Fisher Counties
We hope to know all of you, and feel sure
we will be extended the respect and friendliness
accorded us in our former homes, where we sin-
cerely tried to be an asset to the community in
which we lived. We come to Sweetwater in
search of an honest and respectable livelihood,
wishing to create a business of our own, and are
bringing our own capital into the City for a de-
velopment that is designed on a stable basis, to
satisfy a desperate need for this area.
In establishing and creating NOLAN MEM-
ORIAL PARK, it can be easily verified that ours
was the first perpetual care Cemetery to be char-
tered by the Secretary of the State of Texas and.
obviously, it appeared to us that the creation of
such a development here would be appreciated.
Ours was the first property to be dedicated for
the exclusive use of human interrment. as re-
quired by law.
As Many of you know, the laws of the State
of Texas controls the perpetual care cemeteries
and, among other requirements, compels the cor-
poration to set up a trust fund into which a per-
cent of all money received by the corporation is
V. A. DEMPSEY
held in trust to assure the care "Forever" of the
park. No money will be spared to make this one
of the nicest and most beautiful parks in West
Texas.
V. A. Dempsey has been in the Cemetery
business since 1947 and has developed a num-
ber of properties which are in active operation
today. J. V. Henton, until recent months has
been a building contractor, owning his own busi-
ness since his release from duty with the Air
Force as bomber pilot in World War II. He de-
veloped Sunlawn Addition in the west part of
Winters, and has numerous friends there, as well
as his home town of Brownwood. which has been
the headquarters of his operations since he went
into the contracting business.
Mr. Dempsey and family are affiliated with
the Baptist Church, and Mr. Henton's family are
members of the First Christian Church.
We extend this greeting to the citizens of
Sweetwater, knowing the sincere desire for
friendship will not be misplaced in the commu-
nity, where we have chosen to make our homes.
