Saturday afternoon, Jan. 15, the
B. W. W. Sunday School Class met
at the home of Mrs. D. R. Couch for
a class meeting. The house was call-
ed to order by the president, Georgia
MePherson. All unfinished business
was disdussed and the entire class
voted for the money collected from
a play given sometime ago, to be
taken from the bank and be placed
in the new church building fund. An-
other play was decided on being giv-
en as soon as possible and the money
be used for the same purpose. The
meeting was closed and silence was
broken by a knock at the door and
who could it be, other than Mr. Frank
Irvin? He looked rather embarrassed
when he walked into the group of
girls. After the excitement was over
tea and sandwiches were served to:
L.ela Mae Irvin, Hattie and. Viola
Bryson, Opal Chennault, Georgia Me-
Pherson, Emelyn Link, (a visitor)
Louise Orr, Mildred West, Frank Ir-
vin, Mildred Herring, Stella Rice and
Otha Mae Hart. Everyone had a nice
time since it was the first meeting
of 1927.

of the strongest contingents in the
state law making body. They stand
together for the good of West Texas
and work as a unit on legislation af-

visit with relatives and friends.
H. H. Shadle made a business trip

The West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce is maintaining an informa-
tional and legislative bureau in Aus-
tin during the session of the legis-
ltaure with Manager Homer D. Wade
in charge. This bureau is located at

the service of all West Texans. Those

matters or desiring' service of the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce in
legislative matters are invited to
write the bureau concerning their
needs.
Manager Wade is issuing each
week a legislative letter concerning
activities in the state legislature. He
will keep West Texans informed of
the matters of legislation concerning
West Texas, and will undertake to
give a weekly digest of the proceed-
ings in Austin. This letter will go to
all chamber of commerce secretaries
in West Texas, will go to all officers
and directors and unit directors of the
West Texas Chamber of Commerce,
and will be sent to all members of
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce who will write to the general
offices at Stamford, Texas, that they
would like to receive same. There
will, of course, be no charge for the
service.
