Play Rehearsals Gelling Serious;
Methodist 'Kid Party' Honors Seniors
By P. I). C. AND FRIENDS (?)
Six weeks tests again Monday,
to begin on a dreary note. Boy,
we're glad that's over.
Rehearsals for the play are get-
ting pretty serious now. Better
buy your ticket to "Ever Since
Eve" soon or you'll be standing
Friday night. (April 20).
The Methodist Church had its
annual "Kid Party" for the Sen-
Pledger Home
Demonstration Club
Shows Exhibit
The Pledger Home Demonstra-
tion Club had an educational ex-
hibit on display at the Service j
Center for the April meeting of |
Council on Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. D. N. Hackworth, Mrs.
Floyd Parish, and Mrs. John Han-
son had set up this very interest-
ing exhibit, showing the several
steps in using the tracing wheel
in marking patterns. The judges
commended the club for tho display j
and gave it the high grade of 95. j
Home Demonstration work seems j
to be going forward with well-]
attended meetings, with worth-
while programs, as indicated byj
the reports given in council from |
the six clubs represented by 131
members, four visitors, two agents, |
and the THDA chairman.
Mrs. I. E. Ramsey and Mrs. E.
I. Chiles of Palacios provided the
recreation, giving each one a jig-
saw puzzle, when assembled
formed the shape of Texas. Mrs.
Frank Hurta easily won in getting
the puzzle together and was award-
ed clever novelty salt and pepper
shakers.
Chairman of the Education-Ex-
pansion, Mrs. John Horn, told
the council o'f the visit she and
some of her committee had enjoy-
ed with the Commissioners' Court
when they gave a report on some
of the major accomplishments of
Mrs. Duncan and the clubs.
April 17, the date of the Dis-
trict THDA meeting at the WCJC
cfvmnasium, is approaching County
THDA Chairman, Mrs. W. B.
Lowe, reported that 14 reserva-
tions for lunch had been made, but
more club members are urged to
attend this important meeting
since it will be so near us. The
council was highly pleased to learn
that its chairman, Mrs. Martin Nel-
| sen, will be honored by being
j chosen to give the response to the
| welcome at this meeting.
Mrs. Lowe also clarified a num-
j ber of points on Council procedure.
Miss LaJuan Fite gave these
j illuminating figures on the recent
I Matagorda County Fair and Live-
j stock Exposition: In the exhibit
| building were 400 exhibits—238
; foods, 114 clothing, and 48 open;
111 blue ribbons were given. 121
each of red and white, and 24
Best-of-Class ribbons.
Acoording. to M'ss Fite, the
Girls' 4-H Clubs are having for
their demonstration this month:
"Being Kind to Your Clothes."
Mrs. Dawn Duncan requested
that the clubs check the recom-
mendations list each month to be
certain that these are not being
neglected.
She announced a clothing work-
shop to be held in her home on
April 12 at two o'clock. Anyone
wishing to do so may attend this
workshop.
The Council was happy to have
as visitors at this meeting Mrs.
Chiles of Palacios, Mrs. Frank
Stallard of Prairie Center, Mrs.
John Hanson, and Mrs. B. F. Cur-
ry of McCrosky Club.
WEDNESDAY CLUB
The Wednesday Club held a de-
lightful meeting at the home of
Mrs. Dolly Scott on April 4. The
px-esident, Mrs. Helen Duffy, called
the meeting to order. After a busi-
ness session and committee re-
ports, an interesting program was
given by Mrs. Gladys Faubion and
Mrs. Mabel Haynes.
The subject was "Famous
Hymns" and during the history j
and discussion o'f the loved hymns, J
several of them were played on j
records, and several were sung by
Mrs. Scott which was enjoyed very
much.
The next meeting will be at the
home of Mrs. \V. C. Gray.—Re-
ported by Mrs. Clark.
Mrs. C. A. Lucas and Virginia
and Mrs. Paul Johnson of Houston
were here Monday for the funeral
services of Ethel McCluhan.
iors Tuesday night. Such darling
children! They ate a sack lunch of
potato chips, sandwiches, cookies,
and candy, with cold drinks, then
lined up for the bubble gum con—
test. Gladys Bowers and Bobby
Walton won.
Lonnie blew a huge bubble and
got gum all over his face. So did
Bobby. Little Phillip Shearer man-
aged to turn over a strawberry-
soda pop before everybody went
outside to play Flying Dutchman
and Red Rover.
Jerry was really kept busy in'
the last game. Guess why? Oh, we-
almost forgot. Tezebella Higgen-
botham (Virginia Barton) told the
story "The Little Red Hen." It
was hilarious.
How are the excavations com-
ing, Landra?
We lost the district track meet
in Victoria Saturday to Industrial
by only 1% points! Anyway, the
boys brought back some pretty
ribbons. It was sure cold up there
Saturday morning. Jack fell in
one of the preliminary runs' and
scratched his legs up on the cin-
ders. No major mishaps, however.
Saw Mr. and Mrs. Tanner danc-
ing Friday night at the Sophomore
Dance. Miss Sanford, Miss Smith
and Miss McGlothlin, soph, spon-
sors, were there too. The decora-
tions (purple and white in the
good 'ole Sophomore traditions)
were pretty and the cookies deli-
cious (of course they didn't last
long).
The Rythmettes will sing in-
Bay City tomorrow night for the
Lions' Club.

day evening?

ment.
