Applicants For Nurse
Training At W.CJ.C.
Are Being Interviewed
WHARTON — “Nursing is not
only a satisfying career, but also
a splendid preparation for mar-
riage,” a prominent doctor wrote
recently in a nationally syndicated
newspaper column. This profession,
he said, costs less in its train-
ing program, and it offers valuable
help in preparation for home life,
baby care, and child rearing.
Nursing — both vocational and
professional — is appealing more
and more to young women of the
Gulf Coast area, and the Wharton
County Junior College has a very
effective 12-month training pro-
gram for vocational nursing to
serve these women.
Scholarships are available not
Drily for girls in the Vocational
Nursing program, but also for
those who want to continue their
training after completing this
course.
Mrs. Clive Runnells’ scholar-
ships are available to one graduate
from each high school in Wharton
and Matagorda counties. She also
is offering scholarships for pro-
fessional training to graduates of
the Vocational Nursing course who
want to become Registered Nurses.
Mrs. Floris Hastings, director of
the WCJC Vocational Nursing de-
partment, is now interviewing pros-
pective students for the course
which will start next September.
She is in Wharton at Caney Val-
ley Memorial hospital every Tues-
day morning from 9 to 12; at Gulf
Coast Medical Center every Wed-
nesday morning from 0 to 12; and
at Nightingale Hospital in El Cam-
po every Friday morning from 9
to 12. She is not available for inter-
views after 12 o’clock because of
her teaching duties.
Recent high school graduates
and older women who want to know
more about the vocational nursing
course are invited to see Mrs.
Hastings on the days she holds in-
erviews.

The Presbyterian Church of La
Canada, California, was the scene
of the double ring ceremony which
united in marriage Miss Nancy Sue
Sisson and James McKinley Phy-
pers. The Rev. Michael J. Colton
solemnized the nuptial vows Sat-
urday afternoon, June 17, at 3 p.m.
Soloist was Dorothy Bogard of
Montrose, Calif.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Hensel Sisson of
La Canada and granddaughter of
Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Sisson and R. L.
Price of Palacios. The bridegroom
is the son of Mr. and (Mrs. Dean
W. Phypers of Glendale, Calif.'
Given in marriage by her father,
the bride wore a gown of silk or-
ganza and chantilly lace. The bas-
que bodice of chantilly lace was
fashioned with a sabrina neckline
and three quarter length sleeves.
The bustle back skirt was caught
up with two bows. Her veil of silk
illusion was held in place by a
crown of pearls and she carried a
cascade bouquet of orchids and
■ stephanotis.
Miss Ann Phypers of Glendale
served as maid of honor. The
bridesmaids were Miss Bronwin
Davis of Seattle, Miss Marilyn
Blackwell and Miss Emily Shochat
of Glendale. They were gowned
alike in full skirted dresses of lime
green silk organza with matching
shoes. Their headresses were small
circular hats of lavender petals |
with green veiling and they car-
ried colonial bouquet of tufted
white carnations, stephanotis and
violets.
Best man was Jack Beahrs of
Palo Alta. Thomas Bimberg of
Beverly Hills, Elliott Bloom of Los
Angeles and Gordon Verplank of
Santa Monica served as ushers.
The bride’s mother chose a full
skirted dress of evelet embroidered
batiste in shell pink with matching
accessories and a flowered hat of
several shades of pink. She wore a
corsage of cymbidium orchids. The
mother of the bridegroom was at-
tired in an embroidered silk or-
ganza sheath in shades of lavender
to blue. Completing her outfit were
matching accessories and a lavender
orchid corsage.
The couple received the guests
at the reception in the church’s Fel-
lowship Hall immediately follow-
ing the ceremony.
For a trip to Yosemite, the bride
chose a pale gold colored silk
shantung suit with matching hat.
After returning from their wedding j
trip on June 26 the newlyweds will
make their home at Stanford Uni-
versity, Stanford, Calif., eventually
making their home in Pomona,
Calif.
The bride graduated from Glen-
dale High School and will complete
her degree requirements at Stan-
ford University in December. She
is a member of the Stanford chorus
and chorale and was selected as
sponsor of the freshmen girls in
Roble Hall.
The bridegroom graduated from |
Glendale High School, is a senior
at Pomona College where he will
complete degree requirements next
June. He is a member of Zeta Chi
Sigma fraternity and manager of
the F. M. radio station in Pomona.
Out of town guests attending
were Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Sisson
and Miss Elizabeth Sisson of Pa-
lacios; Miss Ada Ve Williams of
Houston; Mr. and Mrs. Joel Car-
penter of Chagrin Falls, Ohio and
Mrs. Gerald Clarke of Gates Mills,
Ohio.
Mrs. W. E .Rioux and sons, Billy
and Tommy of El Campo were Sun.
day guests of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Rioux.
Mrs. Noel Curtis and two child-
ren spent the week end in Victoria
with her sister, Mrs. Foss and
family.
Beginning September 1, 1961,
Texans will begin paying a higher
fee for certified birth and death
certificates according to Senate
Bill 69 passed by the Legislature.
The law raises the fee for a cer-
tified copy from $1.00 to $1.50, to
cover the increased cost for issu-
ing such certificates.
The new law does not affect
birth certificate copies requested I
before September 1.
The Records and Statistics Sec-
tion of the State Health Depart-!
meat—the State ageney responsi-
ble for Texas’ birth and death rec-
ord keeping—also made its annual
rummer plea for parents of child-
ren entering school for the first
time to make application for certi-
fied birth copies as soon as pos-
- hie to avoid the last minute rudh.
There is an added incentive this
year, explained State Health au-
thorities, because of the expected [
extra rush of requests seeking to
beat the September fee increase.
Texas schools usually require
proof-of-age for children entering
school for the first time. A certi-
fied copy of a birth certificate Is
the best and most accurate proof,
accepted by all Texas schools.
Certified copies may be obtained
from county clerks and local reg-
istrars.
If not procured locally, a copy
may be obtained for $1.00 from
the Records and Statistics Section
of the Texas State Department of
Health in Austin until September 1,
1961—$1.50 after that date. The fee
must accompany the certificate re-
quest.
Needed for a quick and positive
search of records are the mime of
the child, both parents’ names,
place of birth and date of birth.
This information should be in-
cluded with the request.
Past experience proves the earl-
ier requests get quicker response.
Another hint for parents with
children beginning school, is to pro-
vide each child with a thorough
physical check-up from a physician.
Also, it is wise to check school
regulations concerning vaccina-
tions.
President Kennedy seems de-
termined to give out some relief
whether it is needed, wanted or
not. Seems to me like waking a
patient to give him a sleeping pill.
