who pays for

EXPANSION?
Investors are the people who pay
for telephone expansion. The money
we use to build new telephone fa-
* cilities comes from the people who
invest their money in telephone company stock* and
bonds. The dollars we receive for telephone service are
used to pay wages, taxes and other operating expense*.
So, you see, it takes two kinds of money to operate suc-
cessfully—large amounts of capital to grow and Improve
facilities, and income from telephone service to cover
expenses and to pay investors (or the u*e of their money.

GRANDMA BUILDS A HOUSE
Mrs. J. R. Johnson. 58, and
grandmother, of Hamlea. N. C., Is
building herself a house. It's so
nearly completed that she is mov-
ing into it.
Mrs. Johnson started about two
years a''o, with clothing but a plan
in her head and a willingness to
work. She even bought a concrete
block machine to make her own
blocks. Mrs. Johnson said her hous-
ing project got under way when
she grew tired of paying rent She
did all the work herself except
putting in the roof.
Mrs. Johnson estimates the house
has cost her $750 and two years of
hard work. "But It was worth it."
O.E.S. Meeting
Meeting Monday
Claude Chapter O. E. S. met for
the regular stated meeting, Mon-
day evening, Feb. 7, with Jlmmye
Jo Cobb, Worthy Matron and K.
Wilbur Cobb, Worthy Patron, pre-
siding in the East.
Chapter was opened in ritualistic
form and the Pledge of Allegiance
to the Flag was given.
For its welfare project, the Chap-
ter voted to sponsor one of the
small rural schools in Texas. We
understand there are many such
schools in the State, which are not
eligible for State aid and lack
necessities and conveniences enjoy-
ed by the larger schools. We are
happy to have a part in such a
worthy project. Pictures of the
school building, teacher and pupils
will be sent to the chapter at a
later date.
At the Jan. 3rd meeting, we had
the happy pleasure of conferring
the degrees of the Order on Mrs.
Delma Reck. After the initiatory
work, Sister Delma made a nice
talk and we feel she can be count-
ed on as making a most loyal
member.
The Hall has taken on a new
look. It has been cleaned and com-
pletely redecorated by Mr. Frank
Sewell.
We are sorry to have two of our
faithful members leave. Bro. J. T.
Thomas and wife, Dorothy, have
moved to Canyon, where they en-
rolled in West Texas State College.
They plan to prepare themselves
for the teaching profession. We
wish for them much success in
their new undertaking.
At the conclusion of business
the retiring march was given and
the jewels placed on the altar.
Two of our members, Mrs. Louise
Smalley and Mrs. Zibbie Conner
were having birthdays on this
date. They were escorted into the
dining room and were greatly sur-
prised to find the lace covered
serving table centered with a large
white heart shaped cake decorated
in red. "Happy Birthday" was sung
by all. With one strong puff the
two members blew out all the can-
dles at once. They were not forced
to tell their ages, but Sister Zibbie
Conner is a Charter Member and
is very punctual in attending the
meetings. In fact she has not miss-
ed a meeting in almost two years.
Delicious individual cherry pies
topped with whipped cream were
served to the group by Sisters Ora
Tyler Lilye Robison. Rentie Os-
born ' and Bro. T. R. Osborn. A
very pleasant social hour followed.
