One of tne most lavish en-
tertainments for a high school
graduate took place recently
when Mrs. Joseph Ralston and
Mrs. Dean Denton entertained
with a tea in honor of Carolyn
Ralston.
About 130 guests, friends of
the Lamar High School grad-
uate, greeted her at the Ralston
home, 4326 Creekbend in Wil-
low Bend. A pink and silver
theme was used in flowers over
the home, and the tea table
was exquisite with a pink car-
nation and white stock arrange-
ment.
In the houseparty were Gret-
chen Werner,, Mary Lee Wilson,
Rita Webster and Sara Neil
Greer. Carolyn’s grandmother,
Mrs. J. M. Webb of Houston
was present for the party.
Cardlyn, daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. Joseph Ralston, plans to
attend the University of Hous-
ton. While in Lamar she was
member of Tawasi Club and
was chosen princess of the
Irari Court this spring.

AMAZING . . . The Jaycees,
feverishly conducting the Teen
Age Road-e-o at Bellaire High,
found that only a handful of
contestants were eligible. Re-
quirement that felled the boys
and girls: only those that had
NO moving traffic violation in
the past six months were elig
ible. •
EYE CATCHING . . . Trudy
Ralston and her platinum woo-
woo hair-do. Doctor Joe calls
her his “Little Snow White.”
An intensive education cam-
paign to acquaint the public
with the nature of cerebral palsy
and the needs of its victims is
in progress by the Cerebral Palsy
Treatment Center, 1415 Calif-
ornia, as a part of “Cerebral
Palsy Month” program set by
the national headquarters. The
local Center is a United Fund
agency, but must augment its
budget with public contributions
to finance a continuous research
and educational campaign, James
Parker, director, said.
The Center is appealing for
volunteer workers that can give
time daily or weekly, as well as
for funds to carry on the work.
Workers are needed to drive
cars, take children to treat-
ment clinicSj to work in offices,
and to assist in clinic work.
Persons interested in helping are
asked to call JAckson 4-2773, or
to visit the Center for personal
interview.

PERSEVERING . . . Bellair-
ite Emory Carl, preening and
rightfully so over daughter
Cathy, now in Washington D.C.
spelling down the other busy
bees, maintains that each time
a Houston Press reporter inter-
viewed dauhter, mother or self,
viewed daughter, mother or self,
his address with special em-
phasis on BELLAIRE. And each
time the daily deleted ye old
hometown. Come on, Ann Val-
entine, Queen Bee of the Spell-
ing Bee, give us a break.
EXCITING ... How would
you like to take the summer
off and pan for gold or dig
for gold or do whatever the
1956 sourdoughs do in the hills
of Nevada looking for the el-
usive mineral? That’s what the
Trenton Wanns have scheduled
for the summer. They’ll be pack-
ing into the gold mining coun-
try to work the mine that years
ago belonged to Trent’s Dad
Good diggings, folks.
Tiffany Club Pilgrimage
The Tiffany 'Garden Club met
Thursday with Mrs. W. E.
Round, 1301 Robindell, for a
coffee and business meeting and
then took a pilgrimage to Hand’s
Orchid Farm. Co-hostesses were
Mrs. Charles Moran and Mrs.
John T. Cooney.
REVEALING . . Said one
teenager wheeling down Bellaire
Boulevard on his bicycle to an-
other teenager:
“Know what a girdle sales-
man does?”
“Lives off he fat of the land"
Yak-yak-yak
Today from 2 to 5 p.m. the
Bells of Ireland Garden Club
is holding a flower show at
the home of Mrs. H. A. May
4707 Tamarisk, inviting only
their friends and neighbors.
Entries will be judged by ihe
standard system by Mrs. Sidney
Hempel.
Flower Show committees are
Mrs. May, staging; Mrs. J T
Beil, publicity; Mrs. M H Mc-
Rae, schedule; Mrs. James Bur-
rough, awards, and Mrs. George
Thiy-man, refreshments

so you will be able to see them
into adulthood.
GRATIFYING . . . Lynn
Yarter, one of a dozen Texan
subscription salesmen brings
back this pleasing message:
Several times I’ve had women
say: “Well, I thought I could
do without the Texan, but I
can’t!”
LOVE A-BLOOMING ... It
does not happen only in story
books.
The engagement of Barbara
DeMoss and Joe Sims is especial-
ly entwined with hearts and
flowers since Joe’s father was
best man in Barby’s parents’
wedding back in 1928 and both
families have been the best of
friends for years.
The two offsprings have
known each other from the
hair pulling, toy snatching age,
but not until two years ago—
what with years, glands and
such, b-o-i-n-g! They were
made for each other.
Says Mrs. DeMoss: “We did
NOT arrange this, but we arc
ail very happy over the wed-
ding.”

has been to always treat others as we would wish
to be treated ourselves. We have always made a
special effort to offer services at a low cost . . .
and in a manner to give the greatest measure ot
comfort and help to those in sorrow.
For your convenience. Earthman has three funeral
homes and will soon open a fourth one in Bellaire.
When you remember to call Earthman—that is all
you need to remember.

INTRIGUING ... A new-
comer in Bellaire (and we
can’t even reveal her initials)
for twenty years has been turn-
ing out children’s stories and
adventure stories unknown to
her husband or children. She
writes under a pseudonym and
has marketed many a story in
Chicago and New York. Not too
long ago all her manuscripts
went up in flames in a Dallas
fire, so now she is truly start-
ing from scratch.
“I’ve often wondered where
my children thought the extra
pairs of shoes or dresses came
from,” she mused “But don’t
spoil my fun and print my
name.”
She does her free lancing
while her youngest child is '

Mrs. Ruth Hemphill of Brae

from fright after driving from

Why don’t mothers keep

It will be too late when one
of them is killed by a car,” she
pleads.
However this situation is not
only in that particular sub-

you will find a hair raising
