Jaycees Set Donkey Basketball Game;
Proceeds To Set Up Trust Fund
A donkey basketball game
sponsored by the Bellaire Jay-
cees will provide the where-
with-all for the beginning of a
Bellaire Policeman’s and Fire-
man’s Trust Fund.
The game is scheduled for
7:30 p.m. June 15 at the Pin
Oak Stables with teams made up
of Houston and Bellaire police-
men and firemen pitted against
each other.
The Bellaire High Band will
play and another special feature
will be shenanigans on the
trampoline by Bobby Gundlach
and Bill Grote.
Advance sale of tickets is
now underway and they may be
purchased by calling R. J.
Broussard at MO 7-8108 or Tom
Hooper at MO 7-2003. Advance
sale prices are 25 cents for chil-
dren up to high school age, 50
cents for high school age chil-
dren and 75 cents for adults.
Price of tickets on the night of
the game will be about 15 cents
higher.
Mr. Broussard said" the trust
fund is being set up to provide
emergency financial relief for
Bellaire policemen' and firemen.
‘-We hope that other Bellaire
clubs will set aside the proceeds
of at least one money- raising
project a year to help the fund
grow,” he said.
Most youngsters think there
are only three seasons in the
year . . . baesball, football and
basketball.
When a congregation sleeps
it’s the parson who needs wak-
ing up.

NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP
IN RED CROSS SWIM PROGRAM
An opportunity for house-
wives to get “in the swim” and
keep cool this summer was an-
nounced today by the Houston-
ITarris County Red Cross
Chapter.
Red Cross is trying to recruit
at least 500 housewives and va-
cationing students (16-years-old
and over) to be volunteer Water
Safety Aides and help teach
swimming at 19 city pools.
Housewife recruits need not
be expert swimmers. They will,
after a 3-hour training session
at any one of 14 pools, assist
fully - qualified instructors to
teach swimming skills to boys
and girls.
In the past, Red Cross points
out, some mothers of children
too young for the class have
gotten together to take turns in
the water and with the poolside
baby-sitting chore-
Three-hour training sessions
are set up 9 a.m. to 12 noon on
the following days: June 7 at
the Grady and MacGregor pools;
June 8 at Studewood, Levy, and
Oak Forest pools; June 9 at
Reveille and Settegast pools;
July 5 at the Dunlavy and Yel-
lowstone pools; July 6 at Mem-
orial, Mason, and Denver Har-
bor pools; July 7 at Dazavala
pool and Dodson Lake.
More than 20,000 certificates
in water safety may be issued
locally this year, according to
Red Cross — if enough volun-
teers can be found. Far more
important than statistics on cer-
tificates issued, says the Chap-
ter, would be the statistics on
lives saved by swimming in-
struction.
For information or to enroll
as a Water Safety Aide, call
Red Cross at CApitol 7-1151.

WSLLLOW MEADOWS CIVIC CLUB
John G. Quade of 4319 Osby
has been elected president of
the Willow Meadows Civic Club
to succeed out-going president
W. T. Corley of 4331 Lemac.
He and his officer panel were
elected at the season’s final
meeting held at Red School, 4520
Tonawanda, May 1-6.
Quade has been a resident of
Willow Meadows for three years
and has served as a director of
the club during the past year.

John, Jr., 2.
Also elected at the meeting
were: first vice-president, Will-

bocker; second vice-president,
Joe Barbour, 4827 Waynesboro;
secretary, Mrs. W. T. Corley,

The door prize of a Waring
Blender for which members on-
ly were eligible was won by R.

The results of a survey for
back door garbage pick-up
showed that ninety per cent of
the residents of the area are
in favor of the back-door serv-
ice, and the club will contract
for this service.
Also announced at the meeting
was the fact that the utility com-
pany formerly serving the addi-

Honey Is Good
Energy Food
GWENDOLYNE CLYATT
Specialist Consumer Marketing-
Information Extension Service
A&M College For Houston Area
Honey is an energy food, fine
to have on hand for afternoon
snacks for the children, to be
used on bread or as a sweetner
for their beverages and fruit.
It has the quality of keeping
baked products delightfully
fresh. But remember, when
baking with honey, a hot oven
will change the flavor of this
sweetening and cause too rapid
browning of the product. Be
sure to use a moderate oven,
and see that the baking pans
are greased a little more than
usual when preparing honey
cakes, cookies, and puddings.
The question is frequently
asked as to the storage of honey.
It is best to store it in a warm,
dry place, with the cover tightly
sealed. If it is kept for some
time, or exposed to low temper-
ature, it has the tendency to
solidify. This can be remedied
by placing the container in a
pan of warm water until the
•ystals melt—then the honey
will return to its liquid form.
Measuring Honey
A reminder we always like to
mention about measuring honey
is to grease the measuring cup
and spoon lightly beforehand,-
and this will cause the honey to
pour more freely and avoid
waste that we so often experi-
ence if we fail to take this pre-
caution.
This week you can choose
from a wide variety of lresh
vegetables, in addition to the
wide variety of canned and froz-
en vegetables, Asparagus prices
are lower and quality is good.
Iceberg lettuce, carrots, cabbage,
celery, mustard and turnip
greens are all economical
choices.
Fruit Choices
Grapefruit, both the red and
white varieties, have excellent
eating quality. Bananas, avo-
cados, and pineapples are good
choices. We will be seeing more
strawberries on the market now
as harvests in Louisiana growing
areas gets underway.
