An article, appeared-in the Fort
Worth Star-TelegrSknv Sunday,,
• Feb. G, concerning : Mrs. Robert
R. Herring of Breckenridge, who
is the wife of< the Tarleton Ex-
•Student president..
Mrs. Herring, who with her hus^
band has-been on the campus. often
since the >var>'flew to. Sydney, Aus-
tralia,, Dec. 15,.. for her :first visi$
home sinco- her marriage.:.
She will return to the United
States March 15, and both she and
her husband are expected to be
here for the Ex-Students Home-
coming Day celebration in jVlAy,
Mr. Herring, who is now serving
hj£ second 2-year term as mayor
of Breckenridge, manages the M,
M. Daniel1 Oil and Ranching oper-
ations and was: unable to accom-
pany his wife to Australia due to
business and civic duties.
Both- oF the Herrings are fami-
liar to many • Tarleton students
as they have- been frequent guest
speakers and visitors to Dean Da-
vis' current affairs class.
M,rs. Herring' was interviewed
by Susan Barrie and said: "Texas
people.' are. a lot like Australians.
They're unassuming and hospit-
able. They're also fond pi freedom
and outdoor life and have & friend-
ly, informal, social'life.

said. "As our plane flew,over Sy-
dney Harbor :on the way in, I knew
it was. tibout the- most beautiful
sight in the world.,J'
The highlight of Mrs. Herring's
visit was a family, reunion. at her
mother's-1 house on' Christmas Day.
"It's very exciting to have roses
at Christmas time. Ily. husband
ordered. these by cable," she said.
"I had forgotton , there were so
many flowe'i'sari the world. The se-
vere climate makes flowers almost
unprocurable in .an/inland town
like Breckenridge Those flown
there from the coast are very ex-
pensive. . One of the. first., things
that impressed me when I arrived
back in Australia was the abun-
dance of roses,/. gardenias,- and
other flowers on sale and thqir
low cost. Fruit, too, is much cheap-
er here .than in Texas/'
"That goes for most food/' she
a^ded. "There's, no- doubt that fthe
cost of living*; is much lower in'Ausr
tralia.- For instance, Texas steaks
are fine, but, they cost as much' as
four dollars :each in the, .average
restaurant; Here they cost lesg
than a quarter of that!"
Mrs. Herring likes the American
food and cooking,. although she
found the Texas preference for
fired.dishes, was a: sudden ch,ange
from'the lighter grilled or baked
meals that most Australians eat.
Texas weather was hard for her
to get used to, but she found that
central heating and log jfires made
the .cold weather easier to take;
also swimirriing^ and sailing in the
summer are relief from the" heat.
"We. haye a -large man-made
lake . (Possum Kingdom)- near
Breckenridge/ but it's. fine to be
able to plunge into, some real <mrf
and there's nothing1 quite like sail??
ing, on Sydney Harbor/' Mrs. Her-
ring concluded.
