tion the fact that the vast, amount
of money coming into Lampasas each |
week is due solely to the original plan i
of the Federal government to care
for the needy until such time as they 1
could care for themselves. Now that
the winter months are over, the big
part of the job is done. Those who are
physically able to work will be able
to find many jobs. The pay will prob-
ably not be as much as they have
been receiving for work under the:
CWA program, but it will be that
much toward a living, and this office)
is going to give serious considera- j
tion to reports that jobs have been |
refused, when such persons apply to
this office for aid.
Another thing, please do not cen- j
sure any one outside this organiza- j
tion for activities with reference to
any of the acts of this office. They;

The week of March 19 to 24 has
been designated as “Dental Health
Week” and throughout the state pro-
grams have been arranged to inform
the people of the great necessity of
giving pi’oper care to the teeth. In
many places the schools are having
the teeth of children examined dur-
ing this week and recommendations
are made by the examining dentists
as to the proper procedure to have
the children’s teeth in the proper con-
dition. The Lampasas school had
such a program a few months ago and
are not Repeating it at this time.
The care of the teeth is very im-
portant and is something that we do
not give the proper attention and
many times we neglect the teeth un-
til there is serious trouble in the form
of toothache. We then become very
much interested in our teeth but very
often the neglect forces us to have
teeth drawn that could have been
saved if they had not been neglected.
Dental authorities advise that you
have your teeth examined twice a
year by your dentist.

TEXAS DAUGHTERS
OPEN CONVENTION
AUSTIN, March 16.—Daughters of
tire Republic of Texas opened their
forty-third annual convention here
Thursday with discussions of plans
for observance of Texas centennial
in 1936. More than 100 delegates
were registered.
Appointment of a centennial com-
mittee comprising one member from
each chapter was recommended. Dele-
gates from the Houston chapter pro-
posed erection of a proper marker at
the San Jacinto Battleground, and
asked cooperation from the state as-
sociation in financing it. Collection
of early day relics for an exhibition
in 1936 also was suggested.
The social event of the first day
was a tea at the governor’s mansion.
Mrs. George Nalle, daughter of Gov-
ernor Miriam A. Ferguson, was host-
ess.
A. & M. COLLEGE WILL DIS-
TRIBUTE PECAN TREES
Courtesy Charleston Ga*et(o
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, March
16.—About a score of young pecan
trees, from the legacy of Governor
James Stephens Hogg to the people
of Texas, are now ready for plant-
ing and requests for them for high
school grounds and court house lawns
of Texas are in order, Dean E. J.
Kyle of the school of agriculture,
Texas A. & M. Cllege, has announ-
ced. Requests for the young trees
should be sent to F. R. Brison, of the
department of horticulture, Dean
Kyle said.
The origin of this unusual legacy
from one of Texas’ most beloved gov-
ernors came about through his desire
to see Texas a land of trees. A few
days before his death, Governor Flogg
said: “I want no monument of stone
or marble, but plant at my head a
pecan tree and at my feet an old
fashioned walnut—and when these
trees shall bear, let the pecans and
walnuts be given out among the plain
people of Texas so that they may
plant them and make Texas a land of
trees.”
Shortly after Governor Hogg’s
death, a few prominent horticultur-
ists, with the permission of his fam-
ily, planted a walnut and a pecan
tree near his grave. Dean Kyle ar-
ranged through the cooperation of
the family to plant nuts from these
trees at A. & M. College and care
for the young trees therefrom until
ready for distribution.
“It is our hope,” said Dean Kyle,
“that these trees can be planted on
high school grounds and court house
lawns and given good care and when
they turn begin to produce have the
nuts gathered and given to the peo-
ple of that particular section for
planting.”
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Brown and Mr.
and Mrs. Buck Fariss spent the week
end in Fort Worth, where they at-
tended the Fat Stock Show.
Mrs. Will Florence is visiting in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Koon
at Brenham.
HELEN KELLER NOW
TEACHING WOMAN WHO
BUILT HER WORL
URRAY, Rooshire, Scotland, Marc
19.—Secluded in a lonely highlan
farmhouse, Helen Keller is teachin
the woman who taught her to read
talk and play.
It was Anne Sullivan Macy wh
took Miss Keller in hand when sh
was a child, and blind, dead and mute
Mrs. Macy has been Miss Keller’
companion constantly since then, an
tow she, herself, is practically blind.
Miss Keller is patiently teaching he
to read Braille.
Their farm cottage is near the vil
lage of Muir-of-ord, in the shadows
of Rosshire’s towering peaks. The
snow lies four feet deep in the lane
leading up to the house. Sleet, hail
and rain pelts the rooftop. Miss Kel-
ler and Mrs. Macy are living on one
, of the most remote and inaccessible
spots in the British Isles. Their only
neighbors in an area of 100 square
miles are six families of deer hunters.
“Yes,” Miss Keller wrote in answer
to a question, “it is true. My teacher
is now practically blind. I read to
her every day, and I make notes for
. her in Braille.
“She knew Braille when she was at
I school, and when she taught me.
Then Braille was written with many
letters. She would punch them out
for me on Braille tablets. But since
then the system has undergone a
great change. About half the letters
are different. But it has not been
difficult for me to teach Mrs. Macy
jthe new letters.
