Mrs Enter, who is writing a
thesis on Recreation For the
Elderly for her Masters Degree
at N T S.U., visited the Smith-
ville Hospitality House as a part
of her research for that thesis
"Of all the centers for the
elderly in Texas, which I have
visited," she told the gathering,
"none matches this one fo.r
enthusiasm and activity." She_
went on to explain that she had
visited eight such centers be-
fore coming to Hospitality
Huuse, and was appalled at the
complete lack of activity In
some of the largest and best
equipped of these She ex-
pressed delight with the
enthusiasm shown by the
Hospitality House members and
approval of the many activities
connected with the center
As an aid to her research,
Mrs Enter circulated question-
naires here, as she had done in
other similar centers for the
elderly
Mrs Enter received her B S

College of The School of the
Ozarks in Point Lookout, Mis-

Gas cooling is dependable.
Central gas air conditioning
systems use the famous blue flame
to produce cooling There is no
compressor to burn out. no pistons that
( in wear from fn< hori and increase repair bills..
Because of its uttei simplicity of design, a gas
system maintains its original cooling capacity
year after year
cooling is durable.
The quality construction of a central gas
air conditioning system means that you have
fewer maintenance worries Look inside a gas
system and you'll find m< m .tainless steel parts
than in any other type system And there are
only three moving parts
in the entire system, further
reducing the need for extra
maintenance,
Call your Servel gas air
conditioning dealer for a free survey.
Before you buy any central air
conditioning system, get a free survey of
your home from a Servel gas air conditioning
dealer Call your local qas company for
