(Continued from Page 1)
for the benefit of students,
faculty, alumni, other church
groups and civic organizations.
Concerning the contribution,
Beck said, "When the telephone
company first planned to dispose
of the property, we were un-
aware of Howard Payne's need
for such a facility. We are ex-
tremely pleased that the need
was called to our attention, thus
giving the company an oppor-
tunity to assist the college with
their program by donating the
lodge."
The lodge was built in the late
1940's by General Telephone's
predecessor company, South'
western States, and presented
by the company to dispose of
the property and later the com-
piany's board of directors pass-
ed a resolution giving the pro-
perty to Howard Payne College
for "educational and rec-
reational purposes."
Beck, A1 Chappell, division,
manager for General Telephone
in Brownwood, and John E.
Bobbins, area manager, toured

eon.
