ment Prospective donors are ask-

An organizational meeting was
held Monday evening at the home
of Mrs. Dick Dickerson for the
purpose of setting up a Night
Circle of the WMT'.
In a business session beginning
at 7:15, the group of nine voted
to meet the second and fourth
Monday nights of each month. Of-
ficers elected to serve are as fol-
lows: Chairman-Mrs. Dick Dicker-
son; co - chairman, M r s. T. G.
Vaughn; mission study chairman,
Mrs. Joe Sales; Bible study chair-
man, Mrs. Beatrice Watson; secre-
tary-treasurer, Mrs. Mayo Starkey;
prayer chairman, Mrs. W. C. Day;
community missions chairman, Mrs.
Tom Sartain; program chairman,
Mrs. W. L Durrett; enlistment

At Monday's meeting, Mrs. Wat-
son presented a Bible study en-
titled "Pray Ye."
Refreshments of sweet potato
pie with whipped cream and cof-
fee carried out the Halloween
colors, and were served during
the social hour.
The Circle will meet again Nov-
ember 14th.
His parents moved to Rusk from
Georgia in 1H92 and were Mr. and
Mrs V. M. Sutton. Dr. Sutton was
a student at Rusk College and
taught for a time at Gent, near
Maydelie.)
Uik* of the new exhibitors at the
River Art show this year was Dr
H. S. Sutton Sr., a pioneer physic-
ian and surgeon
At 74 years, Sutton is now re-
tired and living in San Antonio,
and, as for his paintings he says
with a chuckle:
"I call them pcapickers' art.";
For the most part. Sutton's pic-
tures are of ranch scenes, land-
scapes and flowers
What prompted the doctor to
take up painting? He explains, "It
was purely by chance. I was clear-
ing out an old trunk three years
ago and found some tubes of paint
that had been stored away for 30
years.
"There was a banana tree in the
yard, and, just for fun, I painted
a picture of it. And I've been
painting a little ever since."
Sutton traced his medical career,
for us. He was born in Georgia
and came to Texas in 1892. He ob-
tained his M. D. at the University
of Texas Medical school at Galves-
ton in 1911.
And, after a year at the Scott'
and White clinic at Temple, he
went to the Bell county commun-
ity of Hartlett, where he practiced
through the horse and buggy era.
The latter years of his practice
were in New Mexico, where for
some time he was the physician
for the Mescalero Indian reservat-
ion.
Sutton says, "I got to know the;
Indians well and made many fri-
ends among them."
One of the longest sick calls
Sutton ever made, he recalls, was
90 miles up into the mountains.
He went on horseback.
He says, "The patient was suf-
fering from gallstones. She was
brought to town in a wagon and
underwent surgery and recover-
ed."
It came to our attention that
Sutton is left-handed. He says:
"That's right. I was a left-
handed surgeon. And they must be
pretty rare.
"I never met but one other in
the long years of my practice."
