Potty Greek H. D. Club Women
Diaouae the Attractive Kitchen
“Attractive views from the kit-
chen window,” was the subject
discussed by the Pony Creek H. D.
Club members Tuesday, May 2, at
2 o’clock in the home of Mrs, T.
H. Aycock. Mrs. V. M. Kimbro,
the president, presided.
In discussing the inside views
Mrs. T .H. Aycock offered many
.helpful suggestions. The first, one
'should have plain attractive cur-
tains at the windows, preferably
sash curtains. To have a clean
locking kitchen one should by all
means have plenty of cabinet room
m which to store all pans and
other utensils out of sight. The
most important is the floor. It
should be covered with linoleum
or some washable substance. She
also urged the members to look in
the current magazines for pictures
and helpful hints on attractive
kitchens .
A round table discussion of the
outside views, , revealed some in-
teresting facts. One woman sug-
gested a window box at the win-
dow over the , sink. Others sug-
gested a well kept lawn covered
with grass, all outbuildings screen-
ed by proper screen plantings.
Many or the plantings could be
made of native shrubs at prac-
tically no cost.
Still another i way to add to the
outside view would be to entice
one’s feathered friends to visit
one’s backyard by putting up bird
houses and making a bird bath.
This can be made by the use of a
shallow pan, placed about three
feet from the ground. A tree
trunk sawed off to the right height
with one end hollowed out would
make a good place for the pan to
rest in. 1
Mrs. Roy Aycock, the recreation
leader, led the recreation period.
The club voted to make a bed-
spread to sell. Each member is to
embroider a block for the spread.
The following members were
present: Mrs. V. M. Kimbro, Mrs.
P. E. Arnett, Mts. J. C. Wash-
burn, Mrs. W .W. Kimbro, Mrs.
Roy Aycock, Miss Neva Davis,
Mrs. Jesse Hurley, Mrs. Marvin
Aycock and the hostess, Mrs. T.
H. Aycock. Two visitors. Miss
Elizabeth Washburn and Miss
Bobbie Kimbro also were present.

of the Alexander H. D. Club May
5 at the home economics building
in Alexander. The president, Mrs.

rubbish carried away it will not
only be a more pleasing view but
will be more sanitary and will
keep down flies and mosquitoes,
continued Mrs. Taylor.

Rep, Bose Reader
Has Rattlesnake
Bill Commendi
Representative Bose Reader re-
ceived two letters recently which
highly commended him upon his
attention to duty and to legislation
he has proposed.
One of the letters is from Judge
Wm. Pannill, now of Houston bu
formerly of Erath county.
“I am very much pleased thal
my old county is represented Iff
such an outstanding citizen.”
Judge Pannill said. “It is difficult
these days to get men of the rigkit
caliber to run for the Legislature,
and I am sure you will make a rejo-
in the Legislature of which .all
the people interested in Entath
county will be porud.”
The other letter is from Be
Gansow of Yorktown,
Representative Reader’s
posing a bounty On rattl
and buzzards and crows
gized. Gansow told Reader that
was circulating a petition in Mis
section, asking that a bounty tye
paid on rattlesnakes during 198®
and 1940. This petition has bee*
signed by a large number of promt-
inent taxpayers and will be pre-
sented to the commissioners court
of De Witt county. The court will
be asked to pay a bounty of from
10 to 20 cents on each reptile kill-
ed in the county.
Gansow said he has statistics to
show that in 1987 seven people
were bitten in the Yorktown com-
munity by rattlers, of which one
was fatal, and declared that the
loss in cows, calves and other
livestock from rattlesnake bite
cannot be estimated but mounts
into large figures.
He said, however, Representa-
tive Reader’s law would be made
state-wide, and offered any assist-
ance he could in getting the pro-
posed legislation enacted for the
protection of children and adults
in the sections where the rattle-
snake, especially, is • menace to
the safety of both people and
livestock.
