MRS. ROBERT R. FARMER JR. OF WEST
COLUMBIA IS GUEST SPEAKER AT
COUNTY FEDERATION MEETING HERE
Mrs. Robert R. Farmer, Jr., of
West Columbia, State Chairman of
Indian Affairs, was guest speaker
at the first quarterly meeting if
the 40th year of the Matagorda
County Federation of Women's
Clubs held Saturday, January 14,
at the First Methodist Church.
The Alapha, Athena, Wayside
and Wednesday Clubs were hos-
tess clubs for this meeting. Mrs.
Richard C. Gusman of Bay City,
president, presided.
Mrs. Farmer gave an outline of
the conditions that prevail on the
American Reservations, which has
remained unchanged for most of
them since they were given their
land grants. She said, "It is timely
to do for the Indians, the general
public should know about their
needs. It is time that they be edu-
cated, and enjoy living like other
Americans—for they are Ameri-
ca."
Mrs. Farmer has gained nation-
al rocognition by the adoption of
her Texas Indian brochure; which
is being sent out by the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
The luncheon was served in the
dining room of the Weimer Hall
of the Mefthodist Church. The
Indian motif was used in table
decorations and programs. IncTian
figurines and canoes centered the
tables. The programs had a black
cover center with a picture of a
Red man wearing a head dress of
white features.
A choral group directed by Mrs.
D. E. Leighton provided a musical
program. Mrs. Blanch O'Connor
gave the poem "What Make Life"
and sang "My Task" as part of a
Memorial Service held for the de-
ceased members of the Federation
of 1954-1955.
Mrs. David Krumholz, program
chairman, announced that the April
program would be the official cele-
bration of the 40th Anniversary of
the County Federation and will be
held in Blessing; an invitation was
extended by the Blessing Library
Association. This April meeting
will be a Seated Tea, in the after-
noon of April 14th, at the home of
Mrs. A. B. Pierce, where the first
meeting was held on February 18,
1916.
Very interesting and enjoyable
club and committee reports were
given. All being typical of how the
women of this county have co-op-
erated by coming together quar-
terly for the last 40 years to ex-
change ideals, gaining broader
knowledge, enjoying a fellowship
that makes this the Democratic
country that America is today.
Mrs. Hans Larsen and Mrs. Le-
roy Barak, of West Columbia, Tex-
as, accompanied the guest speaker,
Mrs. Farmer.

Boys Lose, Then Dance, Then Win;
Did Anyone Mention The Word'Test'
By PAT AND THE TWINS
There was quite a crowd" at the
F.F.A. Barn Dance Friday night.
The saddles hanging from the bas-
ketball goals added a nice little
western touch. So did Coach Koym
in his Stetson and boots. Who was
in that other Paul Jones? The
little one, we mean. Ask Billie?
Most of the boys at the dance
had been to Industrial for the
basketball tournament. They play-
ed the Cobra's B team and lost, we
hate to say. They went back to
Industrial Saturday and made up,
a little, anyway, by beating York-
town and winning consolation. Paul
Taylor was on the All-Tournament
team. Did everybody know Indus-
trial kept 3 trophies?
We had six-weeks tests again
Monday. Now we know why its
called Blue Monday. Ted and John-
ny are already weeping into their
algebra books, we hear. So are a
lot of other students. Tuesday and
Wednesday the Freshmen took
aptitude tests. Don't they ever let
up?
Lannie has decided it's tor
dangerous to sleep in class—how
'bout that?
Back to our most unfavorite
subject-—Wharton County Junior
Woman's Union Of
Collegeport Meets
With Mrs. Corporon
The regular monthly meeting of
the Women's Union of Collegeport
was held January 12, 1956 in the
home of Mrs. P. V. Corporon. Mrs.
Duane Corporon served as co-
hostess for the meeting.
Present at this meeting were
Mesdam'es Duane Corporon, P. V
Corporon, R. L. Corporon, Gus-
tave Franzen, Gust Franzen, Fred
Law, Dean Merck, John Merck,
John Merck, Jr., E. A. Mixon, Mae
Perciville, L. A. Rein, Pat Rich-
man, Jr., Gerald Wells, C. J. Wil-
liams also Carolyn Corporon and
Deborah Merck.
Mrs. Fred Law led the Bible
study in Ephesians from "The Way
and the Wayfarer" by James E.
Sphivey. The Epistle of Paul tv
the Ephesians, the greatest of
Paul's epistles, was written to
establish the readers in their chris-
tian faith; to guard them against
the perils of slipping back into
their former practices and also,
against the dangers of forgetting
as Jews and Gentiles their tmity in
the Body of Christ.
The devotion entitled "Valley of
Decision" was given by Mrs. Pat
Richman, Jr. Mrs. Gustave Fran-
zen introduced the program "Christ
Is the Way, the Whole Way."
In 1956 we were answering the
question "Which Way?" In 1956
we shall be answering the ques-
tion "How far shall we go?" The
answer is "All the way—for Christ
is the way of wholeness."
Mrs. E. A. Mixon told of "The
Whole Way"; Mrs. Gerald Wells,
"The Whole Church" and Mrs. L.
A. Rein, "The Whole Person". We
remember that the wholeness of
man will not be completed in the
here and now, for his kingdom is
not entirely of this world. But, He
is at work within us both now and
forever.
After a short business meeting
was held, the meeting adjourned
and the hostess served delicious
tuna fish sandwiches, pimento
cheese sandwiches, date bars, salt-
ed nuts, assorted mints, divinity
and coffee.
The February meeting will be
held in the home of Mrs. R. L.
Wells.—Reporter.
Three out of 10 people in the
U. S. wear glasses.
College is getting ready for finals
next week.
We really had a full schedule last
week, with two high school bas-
ketball games and the tournament
and the dance, but nothing very
exciting has happened lately. Be
sure and tell us if you have any
news or helpful suggestions for
our column.
Say, did you know Tuesday was
Coach Hoist's birthday? We'd
have said "Happy Birthday!**
sooner but we just found out!
Well, Wallis and Barbara are
still going steady. Guess they're
immune to this "breaking - up
fever" going around.
Answer to last week's questionr
Approximately nine—we'll check
to be sure.
We're wondering now about
those report cards. . . Tuesday's
the day.
Why does Coach Koym dance
with his hat on ? Sallie wonders.
A cheerful note: Dicky Ware
made 100 (yep) on his history
test!! *
