“At your service” is the motto not only
of your friendly gas serviceman, but of
our entire staff of employees, some of
whom are your friends and neighbors.
Each member of the gas company team
has only one goal... to maintain the high
standards of gas service to which our cus-
tomers have become accustomed during
the past 35 years ... a service that is
dependable at all times, in any weather,
and a service that is also economical. We
know you’ll agree . . . natural gas is still
the biggest bargain by far in our Valley
homes, businesses and industries.

Christian Science
The divine answer to hu-
manity’s most perplexing
problems will be stressed
in a Lesson-Sermon on
"Love," to be heard this
Sunday at all Christian
Science churches.
Highlighting the Bible
readings will be this pas-
sage from 1 John (4:7): "Be-
loved, let us love one an-
other: for love is of God;
and every one that loveth
is born of God, and knoweth
God."
From "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures"
of Mary Baker Eddy this
citation will be read (p.340):
"One infinite God, good, un-
ifies men and nations; con-
situtes the brotherhood of
i man; ends wars; fulfills the
Scripture, ‘Love thy neigh-
bor as theyself;’ annihilates
j pagan and Christian idola-
I try,—whatever is wrong in
; social, civil, criminal, poli-
' tical, and religious codes;
equalizes the sexes; annuls
the curse on man, and leaves
nothing that can sin, suffer,
be punished or destroyed."

'Auntie Mame'
Dick Graf, Former Resident
ast To Include
V orks On Scrapbook
A former Mercedes res-
ident, Jack Graf, will appear
In the Metropolitant Music
Theatre’s production of wuaLD YYl
"Auntie Mame" in Harlin- | members
gen and McAllen.
"Auntie Mame," Patrick
Dennis’ story of that lovable,
laughable character of stage
and movie fame is in final
stages of rehearsal. The Me-
tropolitan Music Theater
will present Lawrence and
Lee’s hilarious comedy in
two acts on the stage at the
Harlingen Municipal Audi-
torium on Friday, February
1 and in the McAllen Civic
Auditorium on Saturday
Feb. 2.
Rosalind Russell, who
starred in the Broadway play
and the motion picture ver-
sion, called Auntie Mame
a "Review without Music."
It is a rollicking, rib-tick-
ling comedy in high motion.
The play appeared on Broad-
way for several years and
the movie was nominated
for an academy award. It
is rated as one of the top
comedies of the century.
The Metropolitan Music
Theatre, in its second year
of musicals and plays, has
previously brought to Val-
ley audiences "Guys and
Dolls", "Bad Seed,*’ "The
Boy Friend," and "Dial M
for Murder".
The play is being produc-
ed in its original script.
Twenty-five scenes with
twenty-four entire set
changes run the gaumetfrom
Marne’s whimsical rede-
coration of her Beekman
Place apartment (oriental,
neo-cubist, traditional and
modern) to a completely
authentic Southern Planta-
tion setting. A curved stair-
case has been constructed
for the apartment scenes
and props include a 12 foot
bronzed Buddha, a very life-
like winged lion statue and
modern sculpture pieces.
In one scene the viewer
will be transported to the
pyramids of Egypt and in the
next, to the snow swept gla-
ciers of the Alps.
Lavish costumes have
been especially designed and
made for this production.
Auntie Marne’s costumes of
satins, brocades, lace and
velvet were made to resem-
ble, as closely as possible,
the elaborate wardrobe worn
