while Dyer is superintendent at Wheeler. Masterson resides

Sheffy is the editor of the Review. The Panhandle-Plains His-
torical Society has carried on an intelligent and praiseworthy
program for the preservation of its local history since 1923.
To enlarge its program and services a Board of Directors of

SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT. .......... Mr. A. W. McMillan
SECRETARY-TREASURER ........ Mrs. Davis Wood Hoffman
The Association extends best wishes to the new group and
looks forward to a long and profitable association between the
two organizations. Many other counties in Texas should organize
local historical societies. The Junior Historian work in San

1944. Any information regarding the above use of the term
"Texas" will be of value.
