After approximately a month of vacationing here In her old
hometown, Mrs. Murry (Ophelia) Moppins will be back in El Paso
by the time you read this.. . Flying via Continental she took to the
airways sometime Thursday, to end a very delightful stay here
with relatives and friends, who made every day a holiday for
her. . She was the pa npered house puest of Mrs. Murtle Ellis
and her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams,
during her local stay, during which time her son, Willie Scott,
came down from his home in Petersburg, Va., to join his Mom
and family... A raft of dinner parties of various kinds compli-
mented her stay, along with sightseeing tours, and numerous pop
calls. Charming hosts and hostesses doing lovely things for
her included Mrs. Minnie L. Williams, Mrs. Jackie Faulk, Mr.
and Mrs. J.U. Trotter, Mr. and Mrs. Don Datson, Mrs. Fredonla
Adams, Mrs. Dorothy Smith, Mrs. Maggie Woodfolk and Mrs. S.J.
Davis. And, of course, we're mindful that the list probably
swelled to others whose names we didn't get, prior to takeoff time
She's just THAT popular tn these parts
—Jo's Jottings —
