Personal Mention
Mrs. Loreda Elliott
Methodist Church
Has New Pastor
We are sorry we did not
have this last week, but as
the new minster was on his
honeymoon he was nonlocat-
able.
Rev. Jim Jones was born
and reared in Clarita, Okla-
homa where he attended the
grade and high school. After
graduating from high school
ihe joined the United States
navy where he spent two
years (1955 and 1956). In
1960 he graduated from
Southeastern State College of
Durant, Oklahoma with a BA
degree in speech. Attended
Perkins School of Theology
at SMU, Dallas and entered
the ministry of the Methodist
Church. This is his sixth
year serving as the pastor
of a Methodist Church, four
in Oklahoma and one in Texas
before coming here.
As hinted above he was
married to the former Ann
Shumaker of Dallas on Mon-
day June 20th. He has a two
year old stepson, John.. They
will be living in the parsonage
next door to the Methodist
Church.
Our impression of them is
that they are a talented, love-
ly couple, and should do a
good work here.

The Living Church
in
i
Rural America
In Christ’s name the church
must be concerned with all
people: rich and poor, the
colored and the white, the
educated and the illiterate,
the urban and the rural.
In the United States today
more Americans than the to-
tal population of Germany or
France live in rural areas
(towns and country areas of
less than 10,000 population),
and in these areas are found
over half of America’s poor.
Through legislation, the
government has been trying
to end the physical isolation
and deprivation or such areas.
The Methodist Church, thro-
ugh the Department of Town
and Country of the Board of
Missions, has been equally
active in planning for the
spiritual and educational de-
velopment of the people.
If our nation is to be a
“Great Society,*’ then all re-
gions of the nation will need
to experience full physical
resource and human develop-
ment.. But man still does
“not live by bread alone,”
even though he needs bread!
The special ability of the
Christian church is to restore
personal dignity and faith and
to motivate leadership in
Christian service.

SOir&WATER
CONSERVATION
The local personnel of the
Soil Conservation Service
have assisted 96 cooperators
with the Collin and Upper
Elm-Red Soil and Water Con-
servation District to develop
new or revised basic conserv-
ation plans since July 1, 1965.
These plans were developed
on some 15,000 acres of land,
according to Raymond McBay
of the Van Alstyne Work
Unit office.
78 percent of the operating
units in this area have signed
cooperative agreements with
the district and developed
complete conservation plans.
This represents 80 percent of
total land area or approxi-
mately 114,000 acres.
Conservation practices ap-
plied this fiscal year, July 1,
1965 to July 1, 1966, are 2200
acres pasture planting, 35
acres grassed water ways,
14430 feet or 28 miles cf
terraces with 76685 feet or
15 miles beng parallel, 27
farm ponds for livestock
water, and recurring practices
such as crop residue use,
contour farming, conservation
cropping systems and pasture
management that is being
practiced by most landowners
55 floodwater retarding
structures have been installed
to date. Ten of these had
contracts completed this fis-
cal year. Four additional
structures are now under
contract involving farms of
Clyde Massey, H. J. Coleman,
R. O. Earwood, B. R. Cara-
way, Wallace Caraway, Mrs.
Nora Akridge and Albertine
Woosley.
“Much progress has been
made on conservation in this
area of the District,” accord-
ng to Mr. McBay, “however,
much remains to be done.

HOUSING LOAN
APPROVED
Washington, D.C. — Con-
gressman Ray Roberts today
announced that the Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban
Developement had approved
a Federal Loan in the amount
of $139,548 for construction
of ten low rent public housing
homes for the elderly. And
the average cost of each home

NEW TELEPHONE
Northlake, 111. — Develop-
ment of a minature wall tel-
ephone that occupies just 4Y2
by 8Y* inches of wall space
and can accommodate either
pushbuttons or a conventional
rotary dial has been announ-
ced by General Telephone &
Electronic Corporation, parent
company of General Telephone
of the Southwest and South-
western States Telephone
Company with headquarters
in San Angelo, Texas.
The new telephone was de-
veloped and is being produced
by Automatic Electric Com-
pany, a GT&E manufacturing
subsidiary. It requires sub-
stantially less space than the
8 x 10 inches necessary for
mounting a standard wall
telephones.
The miniture unit also
features a unique “off-the-
hook” holder for the handset
when a user temporarily
leaves the telephone. The
handset is placed horizontally
across the holder without
touching the hook switch
that disconnects a call. To
“hang up” the user puts the
handset into the holder cradle
verdically as with existing
wall telephones.
Darwin H. Deaver, presi-
dent of Automatic Electric,
said the new telephone is
available with either the ro-
tary dial or a Touch Calling
unit with ten pushbuttons.
Touch Calling speeds tht dial-
ng process and also enables
the telephone to be used in
data transmission applications
he noted.
“The miniature telephone
design maintains the establi-
shed styling of our Starlite
(R) pushbutton telephone
while broadening the areas of
potential application,” Mr.
Deaver said.
The new unit is being pro-
duced in a variety of colors,
including beige, white, ivory,
turquoise, blue, pink, yellow
and black. For instalation
in hotels or motels, it can be
equipped with a message-
waiting lamp which notifies
guests that a message is being
held for them.
