Mrs. Smith Talks
To WDDC Group |
Saturday, July 11 j
“Lead, Follow or Get Out of the
Way” is how Mrs. W. C. Smith, Jr.,
sums up her philosophy of life,
which boils down to some very good
advice.
Mrs. W. C. Smith, Jr., was the
guest speaker when the White Deer
Development Commission met Sat-
urday morning, July 11, for the
monthly breakfast meeting.
Members absent missed a golden
opportunity to hear the analytical
outlook for the future of our town
as proposed by the speaker. Mrs.
Smith pointed out that she was not
to be considered a “foreigner,” as
she had deep tap roots in this area,
having been raised in a small com-
munity near Alanreed. She outlined
very effectively how the future of
White Deer was a great deal depen-
dent upon whatever per cent of the
youth population could be lured
back to their hometown after re-
ceiving a college education. She
proposed ideas and dreams which
might well bring them back to
raise their families in White Deer.
She paralleled the possibility of re-
lated industries being created here,
if only a small per cent of the tour-
ists could be drawn off of Highway
60. The wholesome summer drama
activity offered by Callboard Thea-
tre could be this beginning.
Joe Miller, general chairman,
presided over the business meeting.
Ways and Means are still being
sought to motivate interest among
the membership. A. E. Rhoads an-
nounced that attractive street
markers were to be installed in the
east part of town on behalf of the
Lions Club. WDDC will have its
next meeting on Saturday, Aug. 15.
The ladies of the Presbyterian
Church prepared a delicious meal
which consisted of juice, scrambled
eggs, bacon, home-made biscuits,
jelly and plenty of good hot coffee.
Local Ministers
To Help Pampa
In New Program
The Rev. John Robertson, pastor
of First Presbyterian Church, serv-
ed as the first of three ministers of
White Deer in the newly inaugurat-
ed Voluntary Chaplaincy program
in the hospitals of Pampa July 5
through July 12.
Rev. Ralph Aday, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, and Rev.
Oland Butler, minister of the First
Methodist Church, will serve in the
Program at later dates.
The Voluntary Chaplaincy is a
Program sponsored by the Religion
nnd Medicine committee of the
Pampa Ministerial Alliance, which
has Rev. William E. West as its
chairman.
The purpose of the chaplaincy is
to provide a pastoral ministry to
Patients in the Highland General
and Worley Hospitals.
It was proposed and planned by
? committee of physicians and min-
isters working in cooperation with
the administrations of the two hos-
pitals. Each chaplain serves one
Week of duty in turn. He tries to
visit each newly admitted patient,
with particular attention given to
Patients who are from out of town.
P°cal pastors are notified by tele-
GAILBOARD RECEIVES AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE FROM PRESIDENT
White Deer and Skellytown.
President Johnson wrote these
words on the picture, “For The
Callboard Theatre with best wish-
graphed picture of the President
bearing his best wishes in ac-
knowledgement of a letter written
by the Smith explaining the sum-
mer theatre activity presently
being enjoyed by the youth of
Through the kind interest of Mr.
Richard H .Nelson, assistant to
the President of the United
States, The Callboard Theatre
has received the above auto-
phone that the patient is in the hos-
pital. The chaplain attempts only
to supplement and aid the patient’s
own pastor in providing a minis-
try to that patient. Out of town
pastors are notified by letter, but
in case of emergency or serious ill-
ness, the chaplain contacts him by
telephone.
Twenty-three ministers of church-
es in communities served by the
hospitals have volunteered for this
new form of ministry. Response on
the part of paitents, staff and ad-
ministration has been gratifying
during the first two weeks of the
program.
A Public Auction Sale was held
July 16 by the Internal Revenue
Service of the property at 205 Will-
iston. The high bid for this proper-
ty was $250, bid by Ike Richardson.

young ladies of the White Deer-

night meeting held in the Hospital-
ity Room of the First Bank & Trust
Company. Linda Russell, president,
presided at the business meeting
which included plans for socials to
be held in the future.
SOUNDS OF PROGRESS
Sounds of progress are being
heard again in the city as the Bro-
die Construction Co. continues its
work of moving the utility lines in
many areas of town. This work
must be completed before the high-
way improvement, widening of
State Highway 60 through White
Deer, can be begun. The facilities
of the city sewer line are being ex-
tended this week in the area of the
city water well.
A1 Morris, son of Mr. and Mrs.

mented that he had tried to cut the
tree down with his head.

open house and the many beauti-
ful flowers that were sent for the
opening.
