Josle Cloud has published a
book at verse.
The hundreds of Mrs. Cloud's
ormer pupils In Albany, and in
Huntington and Lufkln where
i lie taught before coming to A1
>any, will not be surprised. Any-
body who has the slightest ac-
quaintance with Mrs. Cloud Is
bound to know that poetry Is of
enormous Importance to her and
that writing verse Is not a hob
by but a passion with her.
The more than one hundred
and twenty poems, including
thirteen cinquains, which her
daughter, Mrs. Maxlne Dudley,
has gathered Into a collection
titled "A Cup at Courage," are
on'y a small part of Mrs. Cloud's
poetic output through the years.
It seems that she has, from
childhood, felt a natural Incli-
nation to express herself in
rhythm and rhyme. Watching
children on the school piay-
Bound or washing dishes at the
tchen sink, Mrs. Cloud's
thoughts, light-hearted or sol-
emn, are likely, her daughter
says, to congeal Into verse form.
Thougii some of the verses In
"A Cup of Coursge" are un-
doubtedly the product of delib-
eration, studied composition and
nice reworking, most are clearly
impulsive and spontaneous. Mrs
Dudley says that In addition to
the poems which her mother has
carefully copied and ssved,
"A Cup of Courage" contains
dozens which Mrs. Dudley sal
vaged from scribblings In Mrs
Cloud's class books and the odd
straps of paper which happened
to be near at hand when Insplrs
tlon came to her. Some were
even found hastily pencilled on
grocery sacks.
Mrs. Cloud graduated from
the Huntington High School snd
then received both her bachelor

Hollowell from Dallas.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. (Bill)
Green, Jr., were recently in-
vited to the White House for a
dinner honoring the President
of Italy. Mrs. Green told about
their visit in Washington before
the Albany Chamber of Com-
merce last friday, and a copy
of her very interesting report
was requested to be published
in the News:
By Mrs. W. H. Greew, Jr.
Just before Bill and 1 left for
the state dinner at the White
House, we received a telegram
from Uncle Julian Latham and
Bob Nail-It said:
"My sister went to Weatherford,
Stayed gone about three
weeks;
We can't get a word she
speaks.4
Well, please believe me, 1 am
not trying to put on the style.
It's lota easier to talk about Al-
bany, Texas, In Washington, D.
C., than to talk about Washing-
ton in Albmy! There is only one
reason I am doing this and thai
is Bill and 1 feel the people at
the White House would like you
to know how much they appre-
ciate and love the Fandangle.
fandangle is a magic word-
doors swing open—people smile
and say, "What can I do far
you?" and they mean It! Ho*
did we get so Important? Two
things, first: the show at the
L.B.J. Do you remember that
we received a standing ovation
from the President's honored
guests, The Latin Ambassadors?
That was truly a fabulous week-
end for them. They flev to San
Antonio with the President on
Air force One. The people of
San Antonio did their best, bat
the fandangle was the smadt
hit of the week-end. The U. 8.
Information Agency made S
movie called El Week EikL It
starts with views of the Embas-
sies; the mala part Is the fan-
dangle. It ends with El Week-
End with the Week crossed out
—Just El End. Congressman Joe
Pickle told us that the President
Is extremely proud of this movie
and shows it more than anything
that has been filmed during his
administration.
The second reason is the Llx
Carpenter Rehearsal You know
Liz Carpenter Is Mrs. Johnson'a
press secretary and we gave a
show between shows for her Do
you remember how tired we
were? But we climbed into our
costumes and waited. Liz realis-
ed our special effort all for her.
She tells everyone who will 11*.
ten that the fandangle Is the
greatest show she has ever seen
and she means It!
So please picture Madge. Eliza-
beth and Bill going to Washing-
ton last Thursday with the bless-
ings of the fandangle and all
its magic meaning.
As you know, Madge was our
reason for going. She entered
