vanced cards.
Mrs. Jeffries stressed as the first
problem, “Keeping Faith With God,
Country, and Ourselves.” The sec-
ond problem she pointed out is
produce food economically, by sav-
ing seed rather than wasting them
through inexperience, by planting
something which will produce over
a long period of time, and by plant-
ing something which will not at-
tract insects. The third problem is
the care of our health which re-
quires the proper foods for our
bodies.

cordion selections, and the conclud-
ing part of the afternoon was the

Three Rotarians
Talk at Luncheon
Three phases of the present world
conflict were presented in excellent
talks at the Rotary Club luncheon
Wednesday. Present as an associ-
ate member was Rev. J. W. Shar-
butt.
W. C. Harrell sought co-opera-
tion from club members with of-
ficers to improve the youth prob-
lem in our town as a phase of com-
munity service toward which Ro-
tarians could contribute. By ex-
change of programs and ideas in-
ter-city relations between clubs
could be promoted and bettered
was the belief expressed by Morriss
Hannis who presented that part of
a Rotarian’s duty.
His first talk since joining the
club was made by Pete Huey who
discussed international relations. In
his well presented remarks he
brought out the thought that in our
country’s war with three nations
each individual has his part to do.
The real responsil ility, he declared,
will come however after the parleys
at the peace table. Mistakes must
be avoided there and afterward
to prevent a reoccurence of another
holocaust. Club members now have
the opportunity to plan and think
ahead now for times of peace as
well as to share the responsibility
in fighting the war to a victorious
end.
Brief explanation of his work
was given by Karl A. Kreth, from
the St. Louis, Mo., headquarters of
the American Red Cross, who is
here conducting an instructors’
course this week.
Visiting Rotarians were J. P.
McKinley, Joe Gosnell and Ernest
Hightower of Graham while V. A.
Noblitt of Wichita Falls attended
as guest of Raymond Lunn. Mr.
Kreth was the guest of Huey.

“For the greater part of my life,
I have been a constant sufferer
with constipation.” says Mrs. R B
Gilbert of 2108 Hudson, Fort
MRS. R. B. GILBERT
Worth, Texas. “I never knew what
it was to be free of a tired, sluggish,
worn-out feeling. I was compelled
to take strong laxatives which left
me weak. I had severe dizzy spells
that many times I was forced to
go to bed and stay until I recov-
ered. My nerves became shattered.
“Since I have taken Hoyt’s Com-
pound the constipation with which
I suffered so long is fast disappear-
ing gnd I no longer have those
dizzy spells. My nerves have im-
proved and I feei like a different
person. 1 am a firm believer in
Hoyt’s Comp-ound for it has done
for me ^ rha* no other medicine
ev'v did. i am most thankful for
it;”

Lucky indeed is the lady who can organize her work at home so that
she has free hours—precious hours—to devote to the nation’s war
effort . . . Red Cross, civilian defense and the multitude of other
activities so injpcrtant to America’s victory.
It isn t easy to find these extra hours in the crowded, busy days of
homemaking. Dependable ISatural Gas Service is helping our brave
ladies in their work for our country. It has lightened the burden
of home duties, providing precious extra freedom so important in
these days of emergency.
Natural Gas lias provided also valuable fuel for industry, creating
greater payrolls for Gulf South citizens. Now Natural Gas takes on
new responsibilities, serving in WAR as efficiently as it does in
peace. All of us in fLe.Gulf South appreciate fully the need for
unified action in this great crisis to assure VICTORY!
