ROSCOE, Sept. 27 (Spl.) —
Mrs. Charles Lloyd, the former
Donna Shuler of Roscoe, was
given a bridal shower at the
home of Mrs. Hugo Zetzman re-
cently.
Hostesses for the occasion
were Miss Emily Lee, Miss Joan
Lee, Miss Maretha Freeman,
Miss Darlene Davidson, Miss
Dorothy Altom, Miss Ophelia Jo
Blankenship, Miss Betty Mc-
Bride, and Mrs. Zetzman.
In- the receiving line were
were Mrs. Zetzman, Mrs. Lloyd,
Mrs. Ernest Shuler of Sweetwa-
ter, and Miss Freeman. Joan Lee
directed guests to the gift dis-
play, and Betty McBride and
Darlene Davidson showed the
gifts. Dorothy Altom presided
at the register, which was placed
at a small table centered with
two lovely rosebuds. The home
of the Zetzmans was decorated
with bouquets of gladioli, dah-
lias, and zinnias, with a color
scheme of yellow and white
which was further carried out by
the favors of white maline bags
of rice tied with yellow ribbor,
and yellow napkins bearing the
inscription "Donna and Charles."
Frosted orange punch was
poured by Emily Lee and Ma-
retha Freeman, and white cake
squares and nuts were also
served. Soft music played
throughout the calling hours,
and of unusual interest was the
recorded voice of Mrs. Zetzman's
niece, Billy Jo Smith of Colo-
rado City, as she sang nostalgic-
favorites including "Blue Skies,"
"All of Me," and "Always." Bil-
ly Jo is well known in this local-
ity, as she was Texas' F.F.A.
Sweetheart for 1947-48, and was
a cheer leader for the Sweetwa-
ter Mustangs last year.
Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd are mak-
ing their home at Avenger Field,
in Sweetwater, wherg Mr. Lloyd
is machinist.

United Nations Discussed
By Mrs. A. Nemir At Club
ROSCOE, Sept. 27 (Spl.)—An
interesting program was enjoy-
ed by the Wednesday Study Club
at the home of Mrs. A. Nemir.
Eighteen members were present
to hear Mrs. Edd Dodds give a
well-rounded resume of "Eco-
nomic Adjustment to Date," and
deal also with the pending crisis
in Europe.
Mrs. Nemir spoke on "My Vis-
it to United Nations Assembly,"
with such clarity that each club
member felt as though she had
made a personal inspection of
the historic place. The Nemirs
were personally concerned in the
United Nations Assembly, due
to the fact that Mr. Nemir's ne-
phew by marriage, Dr. Charles
Malik, is the Minister of the Le-
banon Legation, and a member
of the Security Council, the gov-
erning organ of the U. N., which
is made up of five permanent
representative countries — Unit-
ed States, France, Britain, Rus-
sia and China—and six other
countries v\ r ich are elected to
membership for a two year term.
There are five official lan-
guages, Mrs. Nemir stated, with
two of these working languages
—English and French — and
everything is translated into
one of the two.
The building which houses the
United Nations was used to
manufacture submarine peri-
scopes during the war, Mrs. Ne-
mir related, and her first im-
pression of the whole was the
magnificently colorful sight of

My KITH MILLETT
NEA Staff Writer
The worst thing about the
compact little homes that are be-
ing built all over the country to-
day are that they put Mama and
the kids in constant conflict.
They're so neat and trim and
bright looking before Mama,
Papa and the kids move in. And
Mama gets the idea she can keep
her little house looking as fresh
and charming as the uncluttered
rooms in magazine advertise-
ments.
Mama's pride in ner home and
her desire to keep it "nice" is
understandable.
But it's a downright impossi-
bility to keep a small house in
shining order if it houses even
a couple of children—unless the
kids are constantly nagged at
and shoved out-of-doors.
So Mama has to try to resign
herself to the clutter and confu-
sion, which isn't easy on her
disposition and is certainly frus-
trating to her need for a little
peace and order.
Or she keeps after the kids
constantly, nagging and threat-
ening them to keep them from
giving her house tlie kind of
lived-in-look" the decorating
magazines don't refer to when
they use the phrase so glibly.
So it's a constant conflict be-
tween Mother and children in
today's small houses — whether
the kids win out and make a
cluttered mess of the place or
whether Mama wins out and
keeps her little house just so.
The little house is a real threat
to family living.

encourage Incentive FOR improvement
DOCTORS ARE BETTER DOC-
TORS, Hospitals are better hos-
pitals, because of Medical Meetings.
The practice of medicine is being
constantly improved through this
interchange of the findings of re-
search and experience.
Lives are being savfcd by these
constant meetings, conferences,
clinics and consultations. Discus-
sions from such meetings are
published in ufcdical Journals, for
further study, and for the infor-
mation of those unable to attend.
This urge for improvement—
that's the ingenuity and progress
of Medicine in America*
Opportunity and incentive to get
to the top, through honest study
and hard work ... that's America!
Attending Medical Meetings if
hard work, sandwiched between
other duties of a busy Doctor, but
conscientious, progressive physi-
cians consider it a duty to patients
to attend local, state and special
clinical meetings.
For the sake of keeping the level
of American health the best on
earth, let's see that politicians do
not kill the incentive for constant
improvement.
