Is Victory HD
Club's Hostess
By Mrs. A. J. Robinson
The Victory H. D. Club met
in the home of Mrs. A, L. Odom
Thursday with seven members
and two visitors, Mrs. Vernem-
ma F. Barron, County Home
Demonstration Agent, and Mrs.
C. J. St Romaine.
Mrs. Vernon Smith was leader
and Mrs. Barron gave an inter-
esting discussion on "Screening
for Home Grounds.” She stressed
that native shrubs and trees are
most suited to screening areas
“because they are hearty in this
climate and fit into the general
landscape. A screen should be
placed to give an informal ap-
pearance and not a straight for-
mal one.
“Think of the whole grounds
when planting screening plants.
Windbreaks lor this area are
very practical.”
Mrs. Barron showed Interest-
ing slides to illustrate important
points of her talk.
Alter a round table discussion
of types of screening plants by
the club members, refreshments
were served to Mines D. S. Mc-
Gee, Vernon Smith, Waymon Ja-

It is best to use a pastry cloth
on your dough board.”

"Now is a wonderful time to
lie a parent,” said Mrs. J. J. Black
of Midland, district president, in
a talk to the Nolan County P-TA
Council meeting at Divide School
on Oct. 12.
“We are now living in a 36-
hour “world. When our nation
was conceived, there were many
languages and races but we have
succeeeded in making a nation.
Why then can we not have one
world working together.
"Some of the problems of this
one-world are diplomatic but our
student exchange will help over-
come this problem. There are
26,000 American students in oth-
er countries while we have 16,-
000 students of other nations
here with us. Our schools are be-
ginning to met the language prob-
lem and it is hoped that before
too long American students will
not be considered educated un
less they can speak fluently two
or three languages.
“Transportation is doing much
to solve the problems of geog-
raphy. As we came to know
our neighbors we will wain to
know more of their geography.
“The problem of religion must
be solved by remembering that
we are like mountain climbers
trying to go the same way, to-
ward the top, though we take
many paths up the different sides
of the mountain.
“We must he big enough, if we
are to lead. There is no superior
race but there are superior per-
sons in all races as well as ‘dumb
clucks’ in all races.”
Japanese Organize
Mrs. Black said that in Japan
there are 31,000 local units of
T-PA although they have been
organized only since 1945; in he
