Methodist Church
THOMAS E. HARDY, Pastor
LESLIE N. SIMMS, Gen. Supt
Pleasant Mound Methodist Sunday
; School with an attendance of 313
set an all-time high record last Sun-
day—Mother’s Day. This was indeed
a beautiful tribute to Mother. Why
not make every day and particularly
every Sunday Mothers Day? This
splendid showing is the result of co-
operation and work on the part of
the entire membership, and is a dis-
tinct compliment to Rev. Thomas E.
Hardy, the pastor, for his untirng
efforts in the upbuilding of Pleas-
ant Mound Methodist Church and
-Sunday School, which already have
the richly deserved reputation of be-
ing the outstanding church and
Sunday School in the Greenville
District, and no doubt, in the entire
North Texas Conference. Now, that
we have passed the 3 00 attendance
mark we will start for the 400 at-
tendance mark, this should be reach-
ed the latter part of October or
early November.
A splendid program was rendered
at the Pleasant Mound Methodist
Sunday School last Sunday in honor
of Mother. Splendid talks were made
by B. F. Farrar and Miss Jerry Um-
phress, together with special musical
selections including Mother and My
Mother’s Bible, by the young people
of the church. At the conclusion of
Sunday School beautiful potted
plants were presented to Mrs. T. B.
Blair and Mrs. Minnie B. Umhpress,
two of the oldest members, and to
Mrs. Jack Chumley as the youngest
mother. This is a custom of many
years standing. Lovely butonares,
the gift of Mrs. Jessie Lee Umphress,
were pinned on every mother pres-
ent. All in all the program was one
of the best offered at Pleasant
Mound Methodist Sunday School in
a long time.

School during April and May so far

lovely Bible as a birthday gift. Re-
ims averaged” 276 members ' present j fre?hments were serv'ed to Lilla Mae

Dallas County Women
Accept New Quota
Assignments of such magnitude
as to keep Red Cross war relief pro-
duction going at top speed to the
end of the year were received from
national headquarters by the Dallas
County chapter Saturday. Mrs.
John Sparfer, production chairman
formally accepted the new under-
taking of 17,875 garments as the
minimum to be made by December
31, 1941, and agreed to produce as
many more as the volunteers can
turn out.
The vast new quota, which is
more than double any single assign-
ment previously, makes the fifth
quota given the sewing department
and the eighth for knitting since
war relief production began 18
months ago.
The great increase at this time is
necessitated not only by growing
need abroad but also to take advan-
tage of free government materials
offered for this purpose. This may
be the last opportunity to obtain
the free materials appropirated by
Congress for foreign war relief,
which must be ordered by June 30,
Mrs. Sparger explained.
Assistance of every Dallas County
woman willing to knit at home or
give time in the workrooms will be
needed to complete the quota on
the specified date, the chairman de-
clared.
The new assignment calls for 6184
knit garments adn 11,6 95 sewed
items. These include 550 m e n ’ s
sweaters, 1,100 women’s sweaters,
2,7050 children’s sweathers, 1,580
children’s knit suits, 200 men’s and
women’s mittens, 1,500 convalescent
robes, 1,350 hospital pajamas, 800
toddler sets, each set comprising 20
items for a child of 18 months to
two yearss of age; 1,250 women’s
dresses, i,950 girl’s woolen dresses,
1,500 boy’s shirts, 1,125 boy’s short
pants.
I have learned silence from the
talkative, toleration from the intole-
rant, and kindness from the unkind;
yet strange, I am ungrateful to
those teachers—Kahlil G'ibran.
Four Texas borrowsr from the
Rural Electrification Administration
made advanced payments aggregat-
ing $17,000 on their loans during
January, 1941. Since the REA
charges its borrowers simple inter-
est on the unpaid balance of their
loans, this encourages them to
make payments in advance.
