Eastham Speaks to 200 Persons at Chamber of Commerce Banquet
HSU Students Give
Musical Program;
Area Citizens Attend
Aptly mixing sound observations
on “Patriotism” and humor, Rev.
Fred C. Eastham, pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Wichita Falls,
spoke to about 200 persons at the
Chamber of Commerce annual ban-
quet here Thursday evening.
Rev. Eastham, in his rapid-fire
manner, declared, “Patriotism is not
synonymous with blowing a tin
horn or sputtering oratory,” as he
continued that patriotism is some-
thing idealistic and something
spiritual.
“Patriotism,” said the Wichita
Falls pastor, “means love for one’s
country at its best.” He decried the
fact that we become patriotic when
we begin to hate each other. Two
basic observations made in this
outstanding, sensible talk were that
man usually crumbles within before
he crashes without and that pa-
triotism must be based on a bene-
volent faith in God.
The crowd, which filled the build-
ing donated by Mrs. Morrison of
Graham for the occasion, stood to
sing “America” to open the meet-
ing. Rev. M. F. Allen, pastor of the
.Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
^offered the invocation. W. W. Price,
re-elected Chamber of Commerce
president, presided for the occa-
sion.
Towns recognized for sending
(delegates included Munday, Sey-
mour, Throckmorton, Graham, New-
castle, Megargel, Archer City, Fort
Worth, Jacksboro, Gainesville, Ver-
non, Haskell and Wichita Falls.
Before presenting the speaker,
Leo M. Kuehn, Jr., Chamber of
Commerce manager, expressed his
appreciation to his outgoing direc-
tors for their services and also
recognized the new directors and
holdover members.
Decorations for the banquet were
arranged by a committee including
Mesdames Joe Benson, J. P. Lov-
ett and. C. G. Nixon. General ar-
rangements committee members
were B. B. Bridges, Olin Calvin,
H. D. Man, Bernard Lunn and Em-
mett Hallman. The dinner was ser-
ved by the Assembly of God Church
women.
Outstanding musical entertain-
ment was presented for the second
consecutive year by Hardin-Sim-
mons University students who
were accompanied by Harry Hays.
Miss Wanda Mae Clements pian-
ist, also served as announcer for
the numbers. A violin trio com-
posed of Misses Alma Jane Page,
Betty McIntosh and Sarettta Mor-
row played “Only Forever,” “There
I Go” and “Cornstalk Fiddler.”
Miss Lucille Powers, marimba
soloist, interpreted “Pagan Love
Song” and “La Paloma.”
Gainesville sent a delegation of
five to the banquet as a gesture in
recognition of their “hometown
boy” since Mr. Kuehn moved from
Gainesville to Olney. In this group
were Postmaster Cecil Tinsley,
Morton H. Smith, editor of the
Gainesville Daily Register; Roland
Wilson, Cliff McMahon, Gainesville
Chamber of Commerce manager,
and Leo M. Kuehn, Sr.
