ed chairman of the committee
for forests and recreation under
the Texas Federation of Wo-
mens' Clubs Conservation De-
partment, at the Annual Seventh
District Board Meeting held in
Lubbock last Thursday.
Attending the board meeting
were Mrs. C. P. Alexander, pres-
ident, of the Seminole Study Club
and Mrs. Janie McAlpin, The
morning session which was con-
ducted in the recreation hall of
the Citizens National Bank was
given oyer to introducing .offi-
cers and board members.
A luncheon and the afternoon
meeting was held in the banquet
oom of Hotel Lubbock. Dr. Rob-
ert Gordon, assistant dean of
student life at the University of
Texas, who is also consultant to
thd*Hogg Foundation for Mental
Hygiene, supervised by Univer-
sity of Texas, was principal
speaker. Mental hygiene is one
of the projects for Texas Wo-
mens' Clubs this year and TFWC
is helping finance and sponsor
the Hogg Foundation.
Another of the outstanding
protects undertaken by Federat-
ed Women's clubs on a national
scale,' is the restoration of In-
dependence Hall. Mrs. Alexan-
der reported that the estimated
cost of work on the liall will be
$250,000 and the Texas Federa-
tion has pledged some $7,000, of
which the Seventh District is ob-
ligated for Sl.,000, One hundred
nlnty five clubs are included in
this district.
Menial Health Explained
The mental hygiene program
was first begun last year by
TFWC and Is being carried over
for further study this year.
In his talk, Dr. Gordon answer-
ed the question "What Is mental
health?" He explained it as the
vwell-balanced handling of every
day problems, and the acceptance
of demands of day to day living.
Gordon pointed out that mental
illness is only one aspect of the
subject .... that education and
religion and other such things
as a person actually experiences
go to make for good or bad men-
tal hygiene. Board members
were asked to take part in a play
that begun with the "high pres-
sure" area of the teens and il-
lustrated how those problems
can be solved through proper
guidance. The speaker pointed
out that such things as happi-
ness, freedom from fear, peace
of mind and congenial associa-
tion with people, all go to make
"ilor a well balanced mind.

Hi, I guess the most Important
thing in everybody's mind this
week has been that wonderful
football game last Friday night.
For those ole stay at homes who
don't know (they must live in
the back woods if they don't
know by now tho) we won over
Fort Stockton 24 to 7. Even
without our two Charley's (Har-
grove and Benson). Who says we
don't have a teaip! Coach Zoller
has been popping his buttons
ever since. Of course everybody
was too excited to settle down
after the game, so after the band
social there was a snake dance
down town and a bon fire at the
park.
The band was a dlsappolned
bunch this week because we
didn't get to go to Lubboek Fair

WONDERFUL
Texture Contrast In A
WONDERFUL
ROTHMOOR
Monday, but there'll be other
trips—we hope.
We all had our beauty struck
for the annual last week, It
ought to be worth the price of
the annual to see the pictures of
some of the boys. A bunch of
them were on a tear that day
and were trying to see which
one could make the ugliest face.
It. was a big disappointment to
all of us that the B team lost
their game to Andrews last
Thursday night. They sure play-
ed a good game, tho, and did
real good considering what they
were up against. Tho score was
7 to 31, with Harry Walker mak-
ing our only touchdown. But I'll
bet you they berit the stuffln'
out of Denver City tonight—If
we all go out and back them up.
The Youth Center's first Sat-
urday night session turned out
sweli with a full house. Lin Bea
Vers was quite an attraction with
his rendition of tho Charleston.
Charlotte Hargis came up with
a little newer dance and showed
everybody how to Bop. Of course
there was square dancing, and
the more energetic and agile ones
spent the biggest part of the
evening doing tho Bunny Hop.
The game room was as busy as
a bee hive with first one tourna-
ment and then another. Dates
seen there were Mack Beavers
and Nettle Yandell, Johnny
Spears and Sammle Plttman,
Crandell Young and Joyce Bishop,
Lin Beavers and Donnle Jean
Stanley, Heron Nelson and Bar-
bara Rldens, James Jackson and
Sue Burrows, Jon Wilson and
Mary Lynn Morris, Don Hassell
and Mary Nelson, David Shelton
and Shirley Collum, and John
Dozier and me. There was, of
course, a lot of stags both fem-
inine and masculine. There is at
least one masculine one, who If
the girls have their way, won'i
be alone next Saturday night
I Have any Idea who I mean Bill
Rains?
Gotta go now, hope to see just
everybody In Lamesa at the game
(I I tomorrow night,

Return From Trip

and New Mexico.
Visit In Snyder
Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Beavers
