Dancing Is Project
of Horizon Club
The To-Be-Li Horizon Club of
1959-60 held its first meeting on
October 12 at the home of Jean
(Mrs. Coe) Ellis, our sponsor.
First, we elected officers for
the coming year. These are:
president, Linda Sue Crowley;
vice-president, LeAnne Kirkland;
secretary, Neva Rhodes; and
treasurer, Alice Brothers. Next,
we discussed various suggestions
for projects we plan to do. We
also decided to have meetings
every other Monday.
Our second meeting for this
year, was held October 26. The
meeting was called to order and
the secretary made a list of the
present and prospective members.
Almost every person remembered
to bring her dollar dues. We dis-
cussed one of our projects, which
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 0,
is taking dancing lessons, and
decided to invite the boys who
are interested to our next meet-
ing Nov. 9.
Our Home Economics teacher.
Miss Jordan, gave a very interest-
ing talk about good posture and a
few items of etiquette. We’re
sure everyone enjoyed it. We
then adjourned the meeting and
had refreshments.

Weeds rob your livestock of good
grazing and in addition use four
to eleven times more water for
growth than grasses. To have more
grass for next year’s grazing, G. O.
Hoffman, extension range special-
ist, advises spraying with one
pound of 2,4-D per acre. One appli-
cation will usually give good weed
control throughout the growing
season. This method of pasture
weed control is economical cost-
ing $2 per acre.

Incentive award* is. Nest ye. r John Deere of Moline, Illinois, teles over the
role of national sponsor of e i-ards in this popular activity. The announcement
was made by the National Committee on Boys end Girls Club Work.

win a $400 college scholarship,
an all-expense trip to the Na-
tional 4-H Club Congress In Chi-
cago, or a distinctive gold-filled
medal of honor.
At the close of the club year,

ation program submit their 4-H

ners are named by the Coopera-
tive Extension Service which

During a recent meeting at

own fun and entertain them-
selves as this program encour-
ages them to do, they are Improv-
ing their club, while they also
develop their own abilities.”

Baptists Turn Down
Board Hospital Bid
Disapproval of the Texas Bap-
tist Executive Board’s recommen-
dation that the federally-financed
hospital in Texarkana be leased
was voted down at the denomin-
ation’s 74th annual convention in
Corpus Christi Wednesday.
The resolution, expressing “kind
but firm opposition” to the
board’s action, was offered by
The Rev. C. E. Colton, pastor of
Dallas’ Royal Haven Baptist
Church.
Earlier the trustees of the Wad-
ley Hospital of Texarkana had
withdrawn the long standing of-
fer to lease the hospital to the
convention in an effort to avert
disunity in the denominations
over the church-state issue. The
withdrawal was announced Tues-
day. ^
, The resolution passed by the
. convention stated in part:
“We hereby announce to the
world that the Baptist Gen-
eral Convention of Texas looks
with disfavor upon any move by!
our executive board or any com !
mittee to accept as a gift or on
a lease basis any institution fi-
nanced in whole or in part by a
gift or a grant from the govern-
ment.”
An attempt by Dr. Forrest C.
Feezor of Dallas, executive sec-
retary of the BGCT to offer a
substitute motion which woud side-
step reprimand ing the executive
board was defeated by a voice
vote.
The Rev. Mr. Colton said that
hundreds of messengers had come
to the convention for the express
purpose of voting against the ac-
ceptance of the hospital at Tex-
rakana.
“The nation-wide publicity given
to the announced intentions of the
board has led thousands upon
thousands across America to be-
lieve that Texas Baptists were
yielding their time-honored posi-
tion on the separation of the church
and state,” he continued.
“The Wadley Hospital Board
withdrew its offer night before
last and the executive board is
not now in a position to recoin-1
mend acceptance or reiection of
the offer, but in its meeting yes-
terday it failed by only a few votes
to muster the two-thirds majority j
necessary to rescind its former ac-
tion.
“Therefore, it is evidence that
the majority of the board and the
messengers are agreed that it
would have been a mistake to
lease the hospital.
Around Town
G. M. Strawn is at home after
receiving treatment in the Olney
hospital for a badly bruised foot
and two broken toes. He re-
ceived the injury when a drill-
ing pipe rolled on his foot while

PHEASANTS FEATHERS
USED BY MUSICIANS
The usual destiny of most
Montana pheasants is the frying
pan, but their tail feathers this
season are going on to musical
glory.
Of all the devices of men, there
is nothing like a pheasant tail
feather to clean an oboe, says
James Eversole, band director at
Montana State University.
Eversole reports the school is
doing a whopping nonprofit busi-
ness of complying with feather
requests from oboists, particular-
ly in the East.
The tail feathers are gathered
by Lions Club gunners.
Mr. and Mrs. Bussy Deskin en-
joyed a visit Thursday to Sun-
day from their son-in-law and
daughter, Mrs. Wayne Sisk, and
family of Fort Worth.
