Masonic Home Fort
Worth among best in
nation is claim
The Masonic Home and School
of Texas, located on the outskirts
of Fort Worth and noted for pro-
ducing some of the nation's first
citizens, has just^celebratcd its
sixtieth birthday.
In its sixty years of service, the
home and school has fed, clothed,
sheltered and educated more than
2,000 children or grandchildren of
Texas Masons. Evidence of the
school's high calibre are the col-
lege professors and presidents,
lawyers and judges, school super-
intendents, doctors, engineers and
other high professional men and
women who are numbered among
Masonic Home alumni.
Through the year, the Masonic
Home has been able to fulfill its
mission so successfully because it
has lacked neither human nor
physical resources.
There are 12 major buildings on
the 212-acre campus. One of them
houses the Masonic home indepen-
dent school district, created by an
uct of the Texas legislature, which
includes a 12-grndo accredited
school system and a kindergarten.
Classes are small enough to af-
ford each student individual at-
tention, and working conditions
have kept teacher turn-over at a
minimum. Harvey S. Williams
has been school superintendent for
14 years.
Both faculty and students are
provided with the best in equip-
ment and facilities. The latest i

MASONIC HOME in Fort Worth has just celebrated its sixtieth
anniversary. More than 150 children and grandchildren of Texas
Masons make their home at the famous institution, which has one
of the State's finest independent school systems. Pictured here
are members of the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades seated at their
new study centers which adjust to the individual child's needs.
gram of class-room modernization
was the purchase of study centers
for the third, fourth, fifth anil
sixth grades. The study center,
made by American Seating Com-
pany of Texas, is a compact, mov-
able, self-contained desk and cha:r
unit that can be adjusted to dif-
ferent angles needed for various
study and work positions, and for

better vision and posture. The
chair and seat can be moved for-
ward and backward and up and
down for maximum student com-
fort.
Over the past 14 years, 07 per
cent of the school's graduates
have continued their education in
colleges and universitie s The na-
tional average of high school grad-
uates who attend college is only
40 per cent. Such a record can
only be a tribute to the school's
quality of elementary and second-
ary education.
Life at the Masonic Home and
School is not all classroom studies
and homework. The boys and girls,
ranging in age from 3 to 17, have
a well-rounded home life and com-
fortable modern dormitories. A
balanced program of recreation,
vocational guidance and training,
and religious activities is provided
residents of the school and home.
Masonic Home and School is
open to the children and grand-
children of Texas Masons, who
through circumstances beyond
their control do not have homes of
their own. The institution is sup-
ported by annual contributions
from the more than 250,000 Tex-
as Masons, and typifies tho activi-
ties of the world's largest and old-
est fraternal organization.
Women like to look into a mir-
ror, except when pulling away
from a parking place.

In choosing a Christmas tree,
many look for trees that will not
shed needles quickly Indoors. High-
ly recommended are balsam and
Douglas firs, which usually will
hold their needles as long as two
or three weeks In a warm house.
Balsam is fragrant beyond all
other Christmas trees, ha« long
lower branches and thick spire-like
top. Its needles do not stab the
hand. Like the needles of aU firs,
they are usually flattened, not
squarish.
For longer life, place the tree
outdoors in a bucket of water for
84 hours before putting it up, or
place in a waterproof container of
wet sand and keep the sand moist.

Result of year's
crusade on loan
sharks in Texas
Attorney General Will Wilson's
crusade against loan sharks in
Texas marked its first anniversary
last week with the setting of trial
dates for 25 cases involving San
Antonio loan companies charged
with violating the state's anti-us-
ury laws.
This group of cases includes
suits against the Term Finance
Company and Credit Discount
Company. The Credit Discount
Company is owned by llexar
County District Attorney Charles
J. Lieck, Jr.
The attorney general's loan com-
pany investigation began in Febr-
uary 1958, and was climaxed De-
cember 10 when a mass operating
opened against loan companies in
every major city in Texas. Wilson
directed the drive from headquart-
ers in a San Antonio hotel.
Before the day was over 272
permanent injunctions had been
asked against 350 companies.
The current total stands at 365
suits filed for permanent injunc-
tion against 405 loan companies.
Forty permanent injunctions have
against 42 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1959

This wa.s Wilson's third
move in his crusade for law
forcement.
He shut down Galveston gambl-
ing in July, 1957, and cut opera-
tions of 400 quai k doctors that
winter,
Wilson estimate that the small
loan demand in the state is ap-
proximately four hundied million
dollars a year, with sixty million
of it sharked by loan companies. I
"These companies have been J
charging more than 100 per cent!
interest annually and some as
much as 300 per cent," Wilson
said. "Our Inve ligations of hun-
dreds of those companies have
convinced u : that a >.reat propor-
tion of the borrowers are actually
eligible for bank credit. They
would be far better off doing bus-
iness with a bank.''
Grateful and informative let-
ters continue to pour into the at-
torney general's office.
"The cooperation of the public,
particularly the loan hark vic-
tims, have been invaluable to us,"
Wilson said.

Limit on earnings of
$1200 a year doesn't
apply to 72-year-olds
The $1200-a-year limitation on
earnings of a social security bene-
ficiary does not apply when he
reaches his 72nd birthday, ac-
cording to Charles J. Campbell,
manager of the Sherman district
office of the Social Security Ad-
ministration.
A beneficiary will not get one
or more of his monthly payments
if his total earnings cxceed $1200
in a year. This would be true if
he earning over $100 or rendered
substantial services in a business
in months of the year prior to the
month in which he reaches age 72.
Starting with the month of at-
taining age 72, the worker re-
ceives his full benefit check re-
gardles of the amount of earn-
ing- or self-employment income.
However, C ampbell cautioned ben-
eficiarie.- that all earnings in the
years in which age 72 is reached
will count in the $1200 earnings
limit.
Beneficiaries who are near 72
Mid working are invited to con-
sult the local office for full in-
formation on how the work pro-
visions apply in their own circum-
stances.
You sometimes hear of "bull-
beaded luck." There is no such
thinpf. It is bull-headed industry,
bull-headed perseverance, bull-
headed economy.
You may have noticed that the
man who says mean things with-
out calling any names, usually
makes his meaning so clear he
does not have to.
