“Basic Reading" by Harley

ing and the enjoyment of reading

Course when self-improve-
ment is not desired, the Library
still has the Informational Ap-
plications for obtaining Federal
Basic Grants by those who have
completed their High School
work and desire more educa-
tional opportunities than their
budget allows These Grants
are available for all who are
qualified. (One person applied
for such a Grant and was sur-
prised to learn the ajiplication
was ajiproved and the funds
granted in short order ) These
funds are available if you want
to continue your education at
the college of your choice, in
quire at the Smithville Public
Library.
Watching television quiz
shows is an interesting past -
time also slightly educational,
if collecting answers is all you
want, but those who miss sim-
ple questions of what should be
general knowledge empha-
sizes the need for more “know
how" among those who would
make their mark in the world
When there are so many peo-
ple looking for good jobs it
is a shame not to present
yourself in the best possible
light The concensus of opin-
ions, expressed on interview
type shows, is that our young
jieople do not understand that
their employment depends on
their being worth their start-
ing salary to their employer.
And that their employment
should also afford a profit to the
employer. He is always in
the business of making a pro-
fit-not providing salaried
employment

The Society finances public

Legion, Auxiliary
Birthdays To Be Celebrated
Members of the American
Legion and Auxiliary in reg-
ular meeting session Thursday,
February 6, 1979, voted to send
two of Smithville's Junior girls
from the Independent School
District to Blue Bonnet Girls
State meeting at Seguin in June,
1975.
Mrs Dorothy Renick, Blue
Bonnet Girls State chairman for
the Auxiliary will contact the
Smithville High School for the
assistance and participation of
selecting the Junior girl
showing the most marked
quality of Leadership, the prime
requisite for selection
The Auxiliary also agreed to
assist the Robert L Steffens
Post with birthday participation
in celebrating their fifty-fifth
anniversary. The members
opted for the traditional
covered dish dinner. This date
will also mark the 50th birth-
day of the Auxiliary.
The American Legion was or-
ganized March 17, 1919at Paris,
France and the members
met for their first convention
in November of that same year
in Minneapolis where they were
greeted by a furious snowstorm.
In 1975 it is hoped the weather
on their birthday will be more
pleasant, getting the Legion-
naires and their friends out
while also protecting the beau-
tiful jiear, plum and jieach
blossoms that have already ap-
peared.
Mrs. Jewell Renick also ap-
pointed a committe to assemble
and write the history of the
Auxiliary for a Bicentennial
contribution. Mrs. Hazel Love-
lace, a Charter member of the
Unit, Mrs. Hattie Wotijika, and
Mrs. Thelma Davison comprise
the committee. Pertinent facts
concerning the early days of
the Unit Activities will be ap-
preciated when dates are as-
certained and names of jiersons
involved are reported.
