Celebrates
6fhBMtday
A Deer Hunl
UVALDEj Tex., Nov. 22—UP
John Nance (Cactus Jack) Gar-,
ner, publicity shy for service
president of the United States,
celebrated his 86th birthday Mon-
day deer hunting with his son and
•n old friend.
The white-haired eider citizen
doesn't like a lot of fuss on his
birthday, so the past several years
he has spent the entire day hunt-
Jo* at an undisclosed place, like
he did Monday.
With him was his son, Tully, and
Ross Brunifield, an old friend of
Garner's.
Garner has been retired from
politics since 1940. He served 46
years in public office, including
speaker of the House and vice
president, and says he wants to
live to the age of 92 so "I can say
I spent half my life as a private
citizen."
This is Garner's 73rd hunting
season. He said he shot his first
deer hi Red River county of North
Texas when he was 13 years old.
Garner has lived quietly at Uval-
de since he retired from politics
after finishing his second term as
vice president. He split with the
late President Franklin D. Roose-
velt over the third term issue.
Since that time he has surround-
ed himself with turkeys, guineas
and pecan trees.
He disdains publicity and avoids
it whenever possible. Last Friday
he said he got the "chore" of hav-
ing his picture made with his
three granddaughters "off my
chest." He got all dressed up for
the affair in his only suit, a gray
pin-stripe.
After the pictures were made.
Garner told friends he was "look-
ing forward to spending my birth-
day somewhere out in the brush."
And that's exactly what he did
Monday.
Longest-Married
Couple Celebrate
74th Anniversary
BROWNWOOD, Tex., Nov. 22—
UP—Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Shore,
known to have been married long-
er than any other couple in the na-
tion, celebrated their 74th wedding
anniversary quietly Monday with a
few relatives and close friends.
The couple Sunday received best
wishes from President Eisenhower
and Gov. Allan Shivers of Texas.
A cake was to be served to the
small gathering, but otherwise the
celebration was rather quiet since
Mrs. Shore is recovering from a
broken shoulder suffered Sept. 1
in a fall.
Shore said Monday he likes Tex-
as so well that "I've decided to
make a permanent residence
here." He has lived in the state
since 1876 when he arrived by
wagon train from Atlanta, Ga.
He went to Brown county, Tex.,
in 1877 where he first met Lucy
Jane at a camp meeting. He said
it was "love at first sight."
Shore, 97, and Lucy Jane, 93,
were married Nov. 22. 1880, in the
Brown county ranch home of the
bride's parents.
They are the parents of seven
children, all of whom were raised
on the old family ranch in Brown
county. The couple lived there un-
til oil was discovered on their land
in 1926. They moved to Coleman
that year and to Brownwood in
1949.
Lucy Jane was born May 18,
1861, at Lampasas, Tex. Shore was
born Jan. 24, 1857. at Salem, N.C.
According to friends, both have
a remarkable sense of humor and
a great respect for each other.
Four of their six children, Hu-
bert, Jess J., and Frank Y. Shore
and Mrs. Jane Brown, live in
Brownwood. The other sons are
Walter G. Shore of New Boston,
Tex., and Carl E. Shore of Jal,
N.M. Auto accident injuries in
1948 were fatal to another son,
Neal Shore.

IK SURE & VOTE DECEMBER 11
(Paid Pol. Adv.)
BY OSWALD JACOBY
Written for NEA Service
When the Mixed Pair Champion-
ship is played in Atlanta during
the first week of December (as
part of the national championship
tournament), most of the men will
give their partners last-minute in-
structions.
"Try to let me play the hand
if posible," they will say, and
the ladies will usually politely
agree. In this way the men in-
dicate that they think they are the
strong half of the partnership, and
the women indicate that they are
born diplomats.
No such instructions are issued
when the female half of the part-
nership is an acknowledged expert.
Equal partnership is the rule in
the case of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Hodge, of Abilene, Tex., winners
of last year's championship. The
reason for their confidence in each
other may be seen in the play of
the hand shown today.
Mrs. Hodge opened the queen of
diamonds from the West hand. De-
clarer won in dummy with the king
of diamonds, took the king of
spades and then led the ace and
queen of spades to see what the
defenders would discard. They
both discarded hearts, which didn't
help declarer a bit.
South next led a club from the
dummy, playing the queen from
his hand to force out the ace. Mrs.
Hodge returned the jack of dia-
monds, knocking out dummy's
ace. Declarer cashed the king of
clubs and ruffed a club. Then he
led another trump to the dummy,
giving the opponents one more
chance to discard. Again Mrs.
Hodge discarded a heart, and this
time Mr. Hodge discarded a club.
Finally, declarer led dummy's
low diamond. East stepped up
with the nine of diamonds, and
West was able to play the eight
of diamonds, allowing East to
hold the trick. The whole point
of declarer's extra rounds of
trumps was to try to induce the
defenders to discard diamonds, so
that West would have to win the
third round of the suit. The plot
failed, however, for both Mr. and

For Bi-Partisan
Congress Is Seen
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—UP—It
has been nearly three weeks now
since Democratic majorities were
elected to the 84th Congress and
the area of likely bi-partisan pol-
icy approach to major issues has
shrunk with each passing day.
Most domestic questions appear
to be definitely outside the limits
of bi-partisanship. However much
President Eisenhower might like
to team up with Democrats on
some issues — tariff and trade for
example — conservative Republi-
cans would balk at that.
The limits of bi-partisan ap-
proach to urgent questions began
last week to show firm political
boundaires when Speaker Joseph
W. Martin Jr. spoke his mind here.
Martin, a veteran conservative
from Massachusetts, is slated to
be Republican minority leader in
the next Congress when he surren-
ders ths speakership to Rep. Sam
Rayburn (D-Tex.i. Martin was
short and sweet. He said bi-parti-
sanship would be limited to foreign
policy and national defense. He
said to extend it would destroy the
two-party system.
Woman Mates Gift
Of Gab Pay Off
most women, Mrs. Harris O.
Johnson likes to talk. But with her
the gift of gab is a business.
Mrs. Johnson is president of the
International Toastmistresses club,
a group of women dedicated to im-
proving their speech.
About 12,000 women from 600
chartered clubs in the United
States, Canada, Scotland, Japan,
Hawaii, Alaska, and Newfound-
land meet at least twice a month
to eat and talk.
Practically every profession is
represented — doctors, attorneys,
teachers, and businesswomen.
There also are homemakers, in-
cluding Mrs. Johnson who has a
married daughter and college son.
"We don't try to create profes-
sional speakers," Mrs. Johnson
says. "We're interested in improv-
ing our speech even in conversa-
tion."
Speakers Are Impromptu
At the meetings, Mrs. Johnson
explains, prepared programs are
I 6
Sweetwater Reporter, Texas, Tuesday, November 23, 1984
presented. The speakers are mem-
bers. And, In the "table topics"
session, a topic is named and non-
prepared speakers give impromptu
talks.
The organization, which is not
related to Toastmasters Interna-
tional, originated in California
and was incorporated there in
1938. Its central office is in Hunt-
ington Park, Calif.
Mrs. Johnson's interest in the
art of gab goes back to her col-
lege days when she majored in
speech. She has been active in the
club more than seven years.
Not finding a club in Indianapo-
lis, she organized the Crossroads
Toastmistress Club. Soon after,
she founded two other clubs here,
the Indianapolis Club and the
Meridian Club.
This was just a start. As north-
east regional supervisor she organ-
ized 91 new clubs, breaking all rec-
ords.
Five years ago she joined the
board of directors, and then be-
came international treasurer, in-
ternational extension chairman,
and first vice-president in sueces-
Mrs. Johnson credits her hus-
band with boosting her interest In
toastmistressing. Johnson joined
the Toastmasters Club when the «
family moved to Indianapolis from w
Milwaukee 10 years ago. After Us-
tening to her husband talk for
three years, Mrs. Johnson decided
to end the one-sided conversations.
"We're each other's best critics.
Mrs. Johnson said.

Pvt. Billy Hobbs
Completes Leadership
Course At Ft. Sill
Billy Hobbs, son of Mrs. Nola
May Hobbs, of 500 East Texas
Street, Sweetwater, Texas, has
completed the Fort Sill Lead-
ership Course, at Fort Sill, Okla.
The four week leadership course
is designed to train enlisted men
with potential leadership qualities
and abilities to become non-com-
missioned officers.
Prior to entering the service in
April of this year. Private Hobbs
worked as a plumber in Sweetwat-
er, Texas.
Pvt. Hobbs is now assigned to
the 548th Field Artillery Battalion
at Fort Sill, Oklahoma as a survey
crew member with Headquarters
Battery.
Private Hobbs received basic
training at Fort Bliss, Texas, and
advanced training in survey at
Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
Mrs. Hodge held their diamonds
to allow East to win the third
trick in that suit.
Having won a trick with the nine
of diamonds. East led a heart.
This enabled West to win two heart
tricks, defeating the contract. If
West had won the third round of
diamonds, she would have been
obligated to lead hearts up to de-
clarer's king, and South would
have made his game contract.
All-Out GOP Battle
Is Urged For Texas
AUSTIN. Nov. 23 — UP—Repub-
lican National Committeeman J.11.
(Jack> Porter of Houston Monday
called for an "all-out" GOP battle
to carry Texas in 1956, including
a fight for the governorship.
Porter, speaking at a meeting
of the Republican state executive
committee, urged that Republican
primaries be held in 1956 and that
a committee be named immedi-
ately to choose a candidate for the
I governorship.
"The Republicans must go all
out to carry Texas, Florida, Vir-
ginia and Tennessee in 1956," Por-
ter said. Those four southern
states voted Republican in 1952.
"We must quit letting the Dem-
ocrats quarterback the political
situation." the Republican com-
mitteeman said.
He also called for Texas Repub-
! licans to "go all out" to beat U.S.
Rep. Albert Thomas of Houston in
1956.
Porter's proposal was to be dis-
cussed by the state executive com-
mittee at an afternoon session, fol-
lowing a noon luncheon.
