Hie conference, held in Dallas,
Aug. 13-14, was arranged and planned
by the Vocational Home Economics
Division of the Texas Education
Agency.

Sunday was a beautiful day.
Judy Grantham celebrated her bir-
thday Sunday. All the family met in
their home and had dinner with them.
They made ice cream and cake.
There were 16 members there. John
got acquainted with those he hadn’t
met.
Beryl and Willie D. Jones and
Rissie Fine visited with Clement and
Sis Jones in Comanche one day last
week. Clement is doing very well
under conditions.
I was surprised to receive a letter
from Jessie Ree Conolly Friday. We
went to school together at Union
Grove. That has been been a long
time ago. She was then Jessie Ree
Bland. She said she kept up with us in
the Dublin Progress.
John and Eulafae Carlisle spent the
weekend with me.
Golden Knights
to jump
at TSU
The U.S. Army’s ace parachutists,
the Golden Knights, will highlight Ar-
my Awareness Week in Stephenville
with a jump at the Tarleton State
University football field starting at 2
p.m. Monday and the public is invited
to watch.
In addition to the Golden Knights
show, the 2nd Armored Division Band
from Fort Hood will present a free
public concert at 7 p.m. in the
Stephenville High School auditorium.
Hie Golden Knights were organized
over 25 years ago and have perform-
ed over 4,000 free-fall demonstration.
At one time they held as many as 96 of
a possible 128 international
parachuting records.
The average Golden Knight is 26
years old, has made over 1,200 jumps
and has also been trained in one of the
Army’s occupational skills.
Normally the Golden Knights show
begins almost three miles above the
earth’s surface. Red smoke canisters
attached to boots enable spectators to
spot tiny specks dropping from above
at speeds up to 200 miles per hour.
The flick of a hand and a shift of the
body is enough for a change of direc-
tion, as the free-falling figures form
wedges, hold hands and pass a baton.
At 2,000 feet, the team members
spread their parachutes and made a
controlled descent with touchdown
exactly on target.
The Golden Knights’ Stephenville
appearance Aug. 26 is sponsored by
the Tarleton ROTC and the
Brown wood Army recruiting station,
which is currently publicizing the
New Army College Fund. Under it, a
four-year enlistee can take more than
$25,000 with him to spend at a college
of his choice, after specializing in one
of the Army’s critical skills.

Role of Computers in Home
Economics Education; Training for
Business and Community Leader-
ship; Preparing Students for the Role
of Wage Earner in a Free Enterprise;
and Increasing Teaching Effec-
tiveness in Consumer and Homemak-
ing Education.
All sessions provided an opportuni-
ty for home economics educators to
integrate new knowledge and instruc-
tional techniques into the classroom.
VHETAT president, Dorothy
Vacek, Corsicana, said, “The Profes-
sional Improvement Conference was

mat of this year’s meeting was
My well stays pretty busy I water

Lollie Copell had her children from
Comanche have dinner with her

Beryl Jones had her brother and
family, Robert, spend the weekend

Hope our weather cools off some
one of these days and we have a good
rain.

little goes on.

monly offered to the general public. For this reason, proper preparation is essen-
tial to obtaining one’s maximum score.”
