forma Big Tree from the time it
was a seedling far back in the ages
of the past and became a tree 100
years old when Abraham died.
Thirty generaions had passed
when Christ was laid in the tomb,"
she said, "and that tree still lived.
Another 1800 years and the New
World of America was at hand.
That tree, having flourished
through the times of Abraham.
Moses, David, Caesar. Mohammed,
Napoleon, Hitler while 123 genera-
tions lived and died, is still full ol
life, a hundred feet higher than
the highest structure made by
human hands."
Mrs. Lewis said that she refer-
red to the "Father of the Forest"
tree, now estimated to be 4,000
years old—1,000 years younger
than the Cathedral Tree some dis-
tance away. She told of olive trees
in Syria which were covered by a
deed issued 525 years ago.
Texas Trees
The closing portion of her talk
was dedicated to famous Texas
trees—the San Saba "Jumbo"
which is said to be the largest
pecan tree in the world; the
Treaty Oak in Austin, more than
500 years old with a branch spread
of 127 feet: the tree which marks
Santa Anna's surrender near Hous-
ton.
Mrs. J. W. Tipton presided for
business. She is vice-president.

The Westside Baptist Women's

first hall or the program was
liven by Mrs. Ocie Hunt, who had
he subject, "Principles of Mental
Health."
Mrs. Hunt
Mrs. Hunt said, "When we think
of mental health, we immediately
think of a deranged person, but we
might speak of the mental health
of a community or even a state."
She commented on Texas' insti-
tutions for "mental health" and
gave ways in which they are being
and can be improved to meet
the growing needs. She said that
of 1,300 research projects supported
by the National Institute of Health,
only 21 are in Texas because of
the shortage of trained workers.
Research in Texas is being car-
ried on largely through fellow-
ships, Mrs. Hunt said, and much
research is being done in the
fields of crime delinquency. The
searchers are looking into cultural
background, group relations, relig-
ion, social institutions, vocational
guidance, learning processes, phy-
sical health.
The results of this research, she
said, may be applied in such a way
way as to bring about a new proc-
ess or technique of treatment. "We
already have -ufficient knowledge,"
she said, "to embark on a pro-
gram aimed at reducing the sev-
erity of mental disturbances.
She emphasized, before closing,
the handicaps resulting from "the
serious shortage of trained per-
sonnel," saying that attractive sal-
aries, good working conditions, and
public recognition should be applied
to eliminate this shortage.

Berry In Hawaii
Friends here have learned that
a new granddaughter of Mrs. O.
H. Berry arrived this past week
while she was in Hawaii visiting
her son, Lt. (jg) John Berry, and
his wife.
The infant was born Monday. The
father, Lt. Berry, is stationed in a
suburb of Honolulu with the Navy
as an engineer. He and his wife
have another little daughter whom
Mrs. Berry had not seen until she
went to Honolulu in mid-Deeem-
ber to visit her son and his family.
Friends here had expected Mrs.
Berry home some time this past
week. She is evidently staying 011
in Honolulu for an additional visit
because of the new baby.
