Last Rites Said
Saturday P. M.
For Mrs. Stanley
Mrs. Opal Stanley, 57-year-old
Breckenridge resident, died at
12:10 p. m. Friday in Stephens Me-
morial Hospital. She had been ill
for 10 days.
She was born Aug. 22. 1900 in
Dublin. She came to Stephens
County with her family at an early
age and had lived here since that
time.
Her husband is a local plumber.
•J. A. Stanley.
Funeral were held at 3 p. m.
Saturday in the Sattervvhite Fu-
neral Chapel with the Rev. E. W.
Copeland. pastor of the Pentecost-
al Church, officiating Burial was

Survivors include four sons,
John S. of Kilgore, Cecil Earl

! land, and Henry M. of Brecken-
' ridge; one daughter, Mrs. J. C.

imagined, but added that the stan-
dard of living will depend upon li-
censed skills and power. Where the
power will come was somewhat of
a question but the speaker said he
believes it will come from the sun's
radiation.
As to the needs for engineers,
Mr. Sindt said that forty years ago
there was one engineer for each
230 factory workers while today
there is one for each fifty, and calls
are being made for more. Convair,
alone, has 2.500 engineers.
Among the problems to be solved
will be that of housing and urban
blight. The engineer leaders to be
selected will need three qualifica-
tions. These were classified as
leadership, skill and spiritual. The
first is learned at the mother's
knee; the second in college, and
"the third found in" that quality
called faith. "Faith in God and fai-
th in fellow man. To meet the call
engineers must ever be aware ot
their responsibility to society.
In the growing need for engi-
neers, fhe state found itself facing
a problem, especially with refer-
ence to the attempt to solve the
water question. The slate salary
for an engineer is only $10,000 a
year and it is difficult to find en-
gineer qualified for the job to ac-
cept at that salary. It should be
$15,000 to SI 7,000 per year the
speaker said.
Governor Daniel, realizing the
situation called upon the engineers
of Texas ana a committee of three
secured the services of McDonald
Weinert of Seguin to be chief
planning engineer.
Engineers have done more to
raise the standard of living than
all other skills combined, Mr. Sindt
declared They have had their fing-
ers in food, water, and even the
air that is breathed—and he urged
those present "to be ready to minis-
ter to the people."
The meeting was presided over
by James Dowdy, Abilene, pres-
ident. and John Conely, Abilene,
acted in his position as secretary.
A. II. Miller, president of the
Breckenridge Chamber of Commer-
ce welcomed those present. The
meeting was held here on invitation
from Johnny Brannan.
ftittertainment was furnished by
the Three Jays of Breckenridge,
Judy Wright, Judith and Johnice
Brannan who sang three numbers,
loudly applauded.
Little Theater
Group Meets To
Organize Here
Twenty-five persons present at
the organization meeting of a Lit-
tle Theatre for Breckenridge select-
ed Guy Ewing, Jr. as temporary
chairman. This meeting was held
Monday evening in the Junior Ball-
room of the Burch Hotel. It was
definitely decided at this meeting
that if other cities and towns of
this area can support such an or-
ganization Breckenridge could.
Robert E. Housel, stated that the
Chamber of Commerce is definite-
ly interested in such an organiza-
tion, but its primary concern was
if the group was interested in put-
ting on a production in connection
with the forth coming Fourth of
July celebration.
Mr. Ewing appointed the follow-
ing persons to select a 12-member
board of directors; Betty Hanna.
Luther M. Walker, Bob Anderson,
Clariette Bendorf, and Margaret
McCathren. This committee was
instructed % to present their nomi-
nees at tlie next meeting of the
group which will be Monday, May
19. At that meeting officers will be
elected.
Mr. Ewing also appointed a com-
mittee to select several produc-
tions that could be presented at
the Fourth of July Celebration.
They are as follows: Anna Ruth
