She told of the history and cul-
ture of the Comanche Indian.
She said at a given signal by
one of their scouts, in five min-
utes, the Comanches could break
camp, brush it over and hide so
that it would be impossible for
a white man to tell that there
had been an Indian camp on the
site.
Mrs. Conwoop stated that the
Comanches were a nomadic tribe
only living in one locale as long
as the land would support them.
They ate the produce of the land,
berries and wild fruits in season,
as well as roots of some plants.
Mrs. Conwoop was dressed in
authentic Comanche Indian dress
—f.om her head to her toes. Her
necklace was made from corn
and from vertabrae from chick-
en necks that had had all the
meat boiled from it, the bones
bleached then painted orange.
Decorations in the sanctuary
and fellowship hall were in keep-
ing with the Indian theme.
The refreshment table was
laid with a deep red cloth featur-
1 ing an Indian runner down the
center with gourds and grasses
i being used for the centerpiece.
; Silver appointments were used
and tea and coffee were poured
by Mrs. H. D. Bryant, club presi-
dent.

I Cong. Purcell's
Newsletter
Dear Friends,
I have received a number of
letters recently from friends who
are concerned that our nation’s
leaders arc taking God out of
government. I share their con-
cern that this must not happen.
| I believe very strongly that our
government must not encourage
a trend away from the basic
Christian traditions that are so
much a part of our American
heritage. At the same time, we
must preserve the traditional and
constitutional separation of
church and state, and freedom of
religion for all people.
It is interesting to find that,
contrary to what many believe,
many of our acts of recognition
of God have become established
within the last ten years. It was
only in 1954 that we added the
words “under God” to the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag.
In 1955, a room was set aside
near the Rotunda of the Capi-
tol which has no other purpose
than to provide a place where
individual Senators and Repre-
sentatives may withdraw to seek
God’s strength and guidance. The
Prayer Room is furnished in
such a way that no religious
faith may be offended, so that
each Congressman may freely
seek God’s will in his own way.
It was in 1955 that the Con-
gress passed a law making man-
datory the previous practice of
the Treasury Department of us-
ing the motto “In God We Trust”
on all coins. Prior laws had only
required it on certain coins. If
you will look at your “folding
money” you will find this motto
only on the $1 bills. Starting this
month, the $2 and $5 bills issued
will also have this motto. All
others will have it by January,
1965.
It was in 1956 that our govern-
ment officially adopted “In God
We Trust" as the official U. S.
motto. In 1962, the Congress voted
that the motto should be placed
above the Speaker’s chair in the
House of Representatives in large
bronze letters.
“Prayer Breakfasts” have ap-
parently become a permanent
part of our effort to remind and
assure those in government that
they can find strength in God
through prayer. I have enjoyed
my opportunities to participate in
these. Week before last I spoke
1 before the “Governor’s Prayer
Breakfast” at Helena, Montana,
i Recently President Johnson par-
ticipated in the “President’s Pray-
j er Breakfast” which featured Dr.
Billy Graham.
There are so many other ways
in which our government has
recognized our dependence upon
God. .These include providing
chaplains to serve our armed
forces; opening the Congress
every day with prayer; and pro-
viding clergymen for the Federal
penal institutions. We adopted
a national anthem which recog-
nizes our dependence on God; we
do not tax churches; our officials
are sworn into office asking “so
help me God”;and our President
issues proclamations and partici-
pates in Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas.
Even our Supreme Court rec-
ognizes this dependence on God.
Each session now opens with
“God save the United States and
this honorable Court.” In a re-
! cent decision involving prayer in
j public schools, the Court pointed
| out that, “The place of religion
| in our society is an exalted one,;
achieved through a long tradi-
tion of reliance on the home, the
the church, and the inviolable
citadel of the individual heart
and mind.”
In another of the famous de- j
I cisions involving school prayers,
they said, “It was doubtless large-
ly due to men who believed this
( More things are wrought by
prayer than this world dreams
of’) that there grew up a senti-
ment that caused them to leave
the cross currents of officially
established state religions and
religious persecution in Europe
and come to this country filled
with the hope that they could
find a place in which they could
pray when they pleased to the
God of their fashion in the lan-
guage they chose. There is, of
course, nothing in the decision
reached that is inconsistent with
the fact that school children and
others are officially encouraged
to express love for country by
reciting historical documents such
as the Declaration of Independ-
ence which contains references to
the Deity, or by singing officially
espoused anthems which include
the composer’s profession of
faith in a Supreme Being, or
with the fact that there are many
manifestations in our public life !
of belief in God.”
President Johnson recently -
said in a speech. “In these last j
Rate Increase
On Parcel Post
Postmaster E. T. Bledsoe re-
minded residents of Archer City,
that an effective date of April
1, has been set for new domestic
parcel post rate increases.
The parcel post increase—ap-
proved recently by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and aver-
aging about 13.1%—is expected
to yield about 75.4 million an-
nually.
Catalog rates will be increased
approximately 13% and will pro-
duce added revenue of about
$2.4 million if 1962 volume is
maintained.
The higher rates do not affect
air parcel post or international
parcel post.
Postmaster Bledsoe said he has
been advised by Posmaster Gen-
eral John A. Gronouski that the
decision of the ICC will assist
the Post Office Department in
carrying out its objective of re-
ducing the drain on the Federal
Treasury by $100 million.
The last parcel post increase
was on February 1, 1960, the
postmaster pointed out.
To illustrate the effect on the
new rates here, Bledsoe noted
that a six-pound parcel—which
is the average weight—for local
area delivery will cost 37c instead
of 32c.

Tech Honor Roll
(The Archer County News Thursday, March 26, 1964
KAREN BARTON
70 days, prayer has helped me
to bear the burdens of the first
office which are too great to be
borne by anyone alone.” His first
words as President were, “I will
do my best, and that’s all I can
do. I ask your help, and God’s.”
I join our President in recog-
nizing that our offices can be
filled best when we have the
help of God’s strength and wis-
dom.
