RECEIVES HONORS
At the recent V. F. W. District
meeting held in Corpus Christi,
two awards were made to the
Aransas Pass Auxiliary for the
outstanding work accomplished
during 1942 under the leadership
of Mrs. J. C. Mathis, who was
president at the time of the work.
The first award, 3 4x6 foot silk
taffeta American flags were given
for hospital work, which consist-
ed of gifts of money, tobacco,
candy and many other necessi-
ties and luxuries to hospitalized
veterans.
Mrs. Sid Snyder, who was local
hospital chairman during the
period, received a personal gift
of a pair of emblematic cuff
links, from the district hospital
chairman, for having attained
the greatest amount of hospital
work of any chairman in the dis-
trict.
During the year many personal
calls were made, letters written
and personal deeds for the sick
veterans families were carried out
by President Mathis and Chair-
man Snyder.
The second award, two silk col-
or bearer flags, was given the lo-
cal auxiliary for rehabilitation
work of securing employment,
giving food, clothing and paying
rent and fuel for needy families
of Aransas Pass, as well as for
needy veterans families.
The presentations were made to
Mrs. Mathis by Post District Pre-
sident Icie Shoop, who highly
complimented Mrs. Mathis for
having achieved this noteworthy
work and for bringing these hon-
ors to her auxiliary.
