Anniversary
By Anna Kettler
ing week was 48 hours, with
no retirement plan or Social
Security, no vacation, no
hospitalization, and a small
salary.
In her earlyyearsof serv-
ice Mrs. Wood handled all the
billing, collections, and book-
keeping. The billing for
water and sewer charges was
done in pen and ink on cards
printed on a small hand
operated card-o-graph. The
tax rolls were also made out
by hand and post cards sent
out as tax notices.
Garbage collections were
added in 1937, and as other
types of licenses and per-
mits were required, block
books were made for the tax
department. Numerous other
records and maps giving data
on the city have been added
to the department’s store of
information.
An average of about 400
Mrs. Earl Bennett sched-
ules several partie- fcr the
Christmas season, letting
one decorating job do for all.
Events which she has host-
ed so far include a Sunday
school party and a shower.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Whit-
field visited recently withhis
mother. Mrs. L. A. Whit-
field. at the Golden Age Home
in Lockhart.
W. C. ;Blackie) Page and
son, Richard, got three wild
pigs daring a recent hunt
near Liberty and plan to hunt
for deer during the upcom-
ing holidays.

Mrs. Hubert (Emmaline) •
Wood observed the anniver-
sary of 25 years of service
as bookkeeper tn the City
Hal) Saturday.
She srarted working for the
City of Alvin Dec. 15, 1937,
when the office force con-
sisted of two, herself and
the tax-assessor. Thework-
rui a vv.4 vt awui twv .
utility bills per month were
handled by Mrs. Wood 25
years ago; 2.100 are sent
each month now. With the
installation of billing and
bookkeeping machines, the
work is handled more ef-
ficently and a great deal
more of it can be handled.
Mrs. Wood said.
The office force nownum-
bers six, City Administrator
Henry Brenek. City Secre-
tary and Tax Assessor C.
P. Strickland. Miss Lena
Meyers and Mrs. Sadie Dean,
administrative clerks, Mrs.
Wood, and her assistant,
Miss Donna Adams.
Eight mayors have served
the city of Alvin during Mrs.
Wood’s tenure; E. C. Klm-
mons, G. H. Cook, Leslie
Merchant. W. E. Davis, E.
A. Richards. L. A. Pugh,
E. H. Baker, and EddteHUl-
yer Jr., the present mayor.
City secretarieshavebeen
R. J. Hood and C. P. Strick-
land.
The bookkeeping depart-
ment moved upstairs in the
City Hall about two years
ago. due to crowded con-
ditions downstairs.
"I have enjoyed serving
under the administration and
working with other em-
ployees, and am looking for- Wood concluded.
County Holiday
Schedule Told
Christmas vacation for
Brazoria County employees
will stretch from Dec. 24
through Dec. 26, according
to a decision by Commis-
sioners Court, this week.
This will mean the court-
house will be closed from 5
p. m., Friday, Dec. 21, un-
til 8 a.m., Thursday. Dec.
27.
The New Year’s holidays
allowed by the court include
both Dec. 31 and Jan. 1,
which will allow county
workers another long week-
end. and will close rhe court-
house from 5 p. m.. Fri-
day. Dec. 28. until 8 a. m..
Wednesday. Jan. 2.
County officials beginning
new terms or ending old ones
on Jan. 1 are not expect-
ed to be so fortunate, how-
ever.
The oaths of office for new
officials are tentatively
scheduled for Jan. 1, since
a full slate of Commision-
ers Court on Jan. 2 will
make it virtually impossible
to administer the oaths of
office that day.
P-TA Hears
Music Program
Over 300 primary-ele-
mentary members of the
Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion met Wednesday to hear
the Christmas musical pro-
gram presented by the sec-
ond and third grades. Mrs.
Cynthia Lyons. Miss Joy Dell
Mikeska, and Mrs. C. O.
Whittlett directed the pro-
gram.
F’resident Mrs. Edwin
Svoboda opened the meeting
with the P-TA prayer. It
was reported that the Hallo-
ween Carnival netted over
$1,900. which will be added
to the $1,000 allotted the P-
TA by the Alvin One Fund,
and used for school welfare.
More than $300 is used from
this fund to provide lunches
for children on welfare rolls
each month.
There will not be a meet-
ing in January, and the Feb-
ruary meeting will be at
night, it was announced.
