THE CITIZENS, JOURNAL, ATLANTA, CASS COUNTY, TEXAS
t
Smyrna H. D. C.
Holds Meeting
The Smyrna Home Demonstra-
tion Club met Friday, May 2, at
1:80 p. in., in the home of Mrs. Ru-
fus Stout. Five members were pre
sent.
Miss Titus exhibited six candle-
wick spreads and a woven coverlet.
The candlewicking was done mostly
oil fertilizer and feed sacks; the
seams sewed up plain and over cast.
The modern spread hangs within 4
or 5 inches of the floor, and to
cover the pillows or not, as desired.
A loose woven material is much
easier to candle wick and too, with
a close woven material there is dan
ger of cutting the material with
the needle.
Designs that Miss Titus showed
were four inches square, wedding
ring, diamonds, blocks, squares and
rings. The prettiest ones she had
was, a small white diamond with
a light green ring in the center, on
white ground, and a brown in a
square design on white.
She demonstrated with several
different kinds of candle wick
needles and also showed how to
make candle wick mats.
Practice work was done on a
spread made from coarse feed sack
and nearly one-half of the bed size
was completed at the club.
The bed room demonstrator, Mrs.
Rufus Stout has samples of mater-
ial and yarn for candlewick
spreads.
Reports from the council on the
conference showed that in the 16
counties that make up the diistrict
there are 43,434 AAA gardens, and
27,739 mattresses made and 66,-
576 more to make this year.
The prices of retail and whole-
sale tin cans were so near the same
that the council repealed the tin
can bill, Notwithstanding the fact
that the U. S. tin supply from the
Oalkans has been cut off, and more
than likely has caused the advance
in price of wholesale cans.
It was reported that the State
Home Demonstration Association
meets in Port Arthur Sept. 3-4-5.
These are public meetings and
the public is welcome.

Sam Hill Honored
On 75th Birthday
In honor of S. M. Hill's 73rd
birthday, which was April 25, his
children gathered at our dear, old
home once more on a happy occa-
sion to celebrate our dear daddy's
73rd birthday Tuesday, April 29.
Our sweet angel mother's chair
was vacant. Oh, how we miss her
and love her sweet memory. And to
meet at our home just to spend a
day together with our daddy is dear
to us.
We all chatted and walked a-
round the yard and garden to fill
every moment with views of our
dear home. Also to listen to the ra-
dio until time to spread lunch. Also
enjoyed his talk of a dinner in his
honor at Pleasant Hope church on
the 4th Sunday in April.
After words, we spread lunch,
and oh, what a lunch. Two birthday
cakes with the 73 made with can-
dles. One was lighted before the
blessings were asked and the other
afterwards and then we sang "Hap
py birthday, dear daddy."
The lunch was really enjoyed by
all and lots of food left. He won't
have to cook any more for several
days. He received many nice birth-
day cards and presents. It was
rainy and we had to spread our
lunch in the hall but will say each
had a good place to sit at the long
table. We were warm and dry and
had a jolly good time and each left
hoping we'd have the privilege of
celebrating many, many more birth
days with him, our dear daddy.
Those present were S. M. Hill,
Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Hill and chil
dren, Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Hill and
children, Mrs. Sallie Rogers and
baby, Miss Geneva Rogers, Mr. and
Mrs. Gervis Fowler, Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Wicks and children, Bud Smith
HAPPENINGS IN METHODISM
Last Thursday I made bold to say
that a thriving, growing, achieving
religious life depended on such
small things that it was ridiculous
for a church not to have that kind
of a sweeping current at the heart
of its doings. Yes, failure here,
merits ridicule. No other word
would fit. If we have the talent,
the means, and the time, and fail
to apply these so as to have a
moving and growing religious ex-
perience, what else could you say.
Ridiculous is the only word that
really expresses the attitude in
which we should hold ourselves.

Mrs. Lou Chadwick
Buried Friday
Mrs. Mary Lou Chadwick, 62,
died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. John R. Taylor in Tyler, Tex-
as, last Thursday. Funeral and
burial was held in Linden last Fri-
day. Services were conducted by
Rev. E. S. Brawner.
She is survived liy her daughter
Mrs. John R. Taylor, Tyler, and two
brothers, Joe Tate, Linden and
Stroud Tate, Lufkin, Texas.
Last week we mentioned pride. A
pride which is built on joy and glad
ness. A pride that is built on con-
structive efforts. A pride that is
built on personal achievement. A
pride that knows the presence of
God and is proud of what that pre-
sence means and does within the
life and character of the one who
is active in knowing. It takes a
lot of religion to have that kind of
pride.
Today we want to consider our
family tradition. Families have
characteristics which are as person
al as the characteristics of indivi-
duals. Some time ago I had a fran
tic letter from a mother in a dis-
tant city. Her daughter was in-
terested in a young man from my
town. It looked to her as if it had
reached the stage of seriousness.
She though it was time for her to
know something about the young
man and his family. She asked
pointed questions about the father
and mother; what they did and the
scale of their interests and securi-
ties. She wanted to know some-
thing about the kind of soil in which
the soul of her daughter's love had
grown. She was anxious about the
family traditions and activities and
interests. What were his people'
like?
gin to wear brands. Simply to say
that a family is honest, isn't say-
ing much for them. We have ways
of protecting ourselves against dis-
honesty. When a person proves that
he can not be trusted there are cer
tain conveniences that he must
forego. Charge accounts, install-
ment buying, etc., although I be-
lieve we would all be better off if
we only bought as we could pay.
To say that a family is made up of
good business practices, isn't say-
ing very much for them either.
Thin slices and hard bargains are
considered good business when the
profit motive runs wild and out
runs all other interests in the field,
as Whirl Away did at the Ken-
tucky Derby last Saturday. To say
that a family makes good neighbors
isn't saying too much. They could
treat the family on the next lot
well, and not know or care about a
poor destitute family who lives
across the tracks. To say that a
family is commercial is to mean
that they do nothing which can not
be translated directly or indirectly
into personal gain.
A family may earn the brand of
being haughty, or arrogant, or well
satisfied. On the other hand they
may be called hard headed, stub-
born, obstinate. Or a family may
earn the brand of being impulsive,
sensational, unconventional, head-
line seekers. There are a legion
of brands which we may affix to
our family beliefs and practices.
Families sooner or later will be-

esty and more. Neighborliness and
more. Which fights against the
purely commercial views, and is
therefore an enemy to the pagan.
It is a quality of life which cuts
the foundation from under, stub-
borness, arrogance and impulsive-
ness. The home must offer a quali-
ty of guidance. A quality of sta-
bility. A quality of reverence. A
quality of sacredness. A quality
of faith which equips one for select
ing the best and becoming a part
of the best that life has to offer.
Happy is that home, and happy will
be those children and parents whose
homelife fulfills that type of quali-
ty, within their religious traditions.
Your church is the fountain out
of which that quality of life is to
flow. We strive to elevate it,
nourish it, and help it to grow and
find happy self realization within
the souls of parents and children.
If yours has been this kind of
faith and experience, church loyal-
ty comes as a matter that is ines-
capable. If your faith has been of
some other type that, will assert it-
self too.
Sunday is Mother's Day. The
church will not try to say for you,
the things you said, or should have
said at home. We are faced with
too many hard facts to spend an
hour crying. You won't. On the
other hand, it is my hope to awaken
us to some modern perils with
which we are faced. Attend church
as a family Sunday. Honor the re-
ligious tradition of your home. Try
to see something to life besides
commerce, business, insurance, buy
ing and selling, or what have you.
By the way they keep the Sabbath,
shall ye know them. What's in your
family tradition? That is so im-
portant to a growing religious ex-
perience.
