MINISTERS BACK DANIEL
GALVESTON, (UP) — The
Galveston Ministerial Associa-
tion today praised Attorney Gen-
eral Price Daniel for "his firm
stand" in helping to close down
gambling here.
A letter sent to Daniel by the
Association and signed by the
Rev. A. L. Pfennig, president of
the organization, said:
"We are convinced that gamb-
ling in any form, by any person,
under any auspices, is a flag-
rant violation of the laws of the
state, a source of moral evil .
and must be condemned."
TWIN" HAMKS KILLED
HOUSTON. June 21 (UP) —
Nancy and Margaret Dancey, 10-
month-old Negro twins, were
burned to death yesterday when
their parents' home was destroy-
ed by fire.
A neighbor, who was keeping
the children while their parents
were at work, said she had gone
to a nearby store. When she re-
turned to the house it was too
late to rescue the twins. Two old-
er child) en of the couple escaped
injury.
To ease the task of preparing
fresh fruit salad, try this trick
for oranges. Cover them with
boiling water and allow them
to stand for five minutes. When
you remove the rind, the white
will come off with it, leaving
you unmarred orange sections.
