PLANS!
That's why Mommy and Daddy have opened a savings
account for me. I'll be ready for school in a few years and
later on, I'm planning to go to college. Sure, it takes money
but by the time I'm big enough for college, that savings
account will be pretty big, too. The folks'll be adding regu-
larly to it, according to this savings plan. They got it all
figured out with the help of some people down at

Deena Kamp wins runner-up title
BETA CLUB REPORTS VERY ENJOYABLE AND WORTHWHILE TIME AT CONVENTION
by Deanna West
The Kerens Beta Club
ventured to San Anto-
nio on the 22 nd of
January for the 23rd
annual Beta Club Con-
vention.
Deena Kamp was run-
ning for the vice pr-
esidential nomination
and all the Kerens
Eetas put together a
hard effort to make
her the winner.
The Beta Club also
had a talent show en-
try. They remade the
skit "My Daughter Is
Sick". The cast was
comprised of Deena
Kamp (mother), Linda
Neumayer (daughter),
Stacey Baker (Doct-
or), David Worley
(mortician), Julie
Worley (stage mana-
ger) and Laura Brown
(director). They rea-
lly set the audience
on fire as they gave
their best performan-
ce to date. They re-
ceived the runner-up
trophy for their ef-
forts.
Linda Neumayer also
submitted a scrapbook
entry. Though it was
an excellent scrapbo-
ok, she did not pl-
ace.
Denna Kamp was runn-
er-up in the vice pr-
esidential bid.
It was a very enjoy-
able time for all of
the young people and
their sponsors and
chaperones: Mrs. Fr-
eida Kamp, James Van-
noy and family, Geo-
rge Jett and Mrs.
Mary Lou Reed.
Thank you for visiting me while I was
in the hospital, for your calls and
cards since I’ve been home and for your
prayers always. Thanks, also, to those
I missed seeing because I was dismissed
sooner than anticipated.
Thanks to the doctors and nurses who
were so kind and helpful. I also wish
to thank Dr, Royce Measures and Bro.
David Hale for their friendly handsh-
akes and smiles.
I thank you and appreciate your pray-
ers so much.

Right now across Texas there are people who, for whatever reason, are having
a hard time heating their homes. But now there’s a program where you can help.
What we’re talking about is the Energy Aid Program. It’s sponsored by your
electric company and this is how it works. You’ll get a pledge card in this
month’s electric service bill. Make your pledge and send it in with your bill.
Your tax-deductible contribution will be collected by the electric company and
sent to us and other charitable agencies in the area.
When we get the money, well give it to those who need it most. To pay for
natural gas, propane, electricity or even a cord of wood if that’s the only means
of heating. The funds may even be used to make emergency minor repairs
to heating and cooling systems.
So you see how much your contribution could do. Pledge today. Someone
needs your help. And you could probably use the warm feeling it will give you.
