MALDEN CUB
December 31st was a wonderful
evening for the Club members and
their guest, which consisted of a-
round 100 friends having a good
time at the Community Home
There was a basket lunch that
was enough for all, and the way it
was devoured it must of been really
enjoyed. Then alter the eats were
put away in the usual manned,
Kieth Vierson and his boys really
went to town with their music. And
there were young, old, little and big
folks on the floor at the same time
enjoying themselves.
The Maiden C'.ub members are
proud that they could furnish this
entertainment for our young folks.'
especially, since things beyond their
control have handicaped them from
enjoying other entertainment that
they are used to.
We hope to have other clean en-
tertainments a.1, this one in the
future.
We believe the entire Club can
say, we enjoyed this last evening
of 1942 and here's hoping the year
of 1943 will bring us complete vic-
tory, and we can enjoy all of our
boys and girls at our next New
Years Eve entertainment, t

No mailer what your job, if you are

Victory for America. During hours of
relaxation you build up energy and
alertness for tomorrow'! Job, or you
can let eyestrain rob you of that vital
rest so essential to every modern
worker.
When EYESTRAIN robs you of energy
it reduces your ability to do more in
less time, and especially reduces accu-
racy in your work. Eyestrain can re-
lard otherwise bright school children.
Eyestrain can be your greatest enemy.
It is doubly important in these times for everyone to conserve

OES TEA
One of the most elaborate affairs
of the Christmas season festivities
in Claude was the tea given De-
cember 27, from 5:00 to 7:00 o'clock|
when the members of the Eastern
Star and their husbands were en-
tertained in the lovely home of Mr,
and Mrs. Dee B Wilson.
The reception rooms were beau-
tifully decorated in the Christmas
colors of red and green which add-
ed so much to the beauty of the
occasion. The dining table where
refreshments were served, was cov-
ered with a lovely drawn work
table cloth. A centerpiece of ever-
green graced the table on each side
of which were lighted white can-
dles in crystal holders.
During the first hour Estelle Ste-
wart presided at the tea table, and
Lilye Robison served the guests the
second hour.
Dainty refreshments consisting of
hot punch, cookies, candied slices of
pineapple and mints were served
throughout the evening.
Outside the weather was bitter
cold and inside the warm, cherry
atmosphere made everyone reluc-
tant to leave when the hour of de-
parture came.
We were so sorry the inclement
weathel prevented so many of the
members from being present on
this delightful occasion.
Those attending the tea were: Mr
and Mrs. Andrew Smalley and Doris,
Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Robison. Mr

1943 WILL BRING CHANGES
College Station. Dec 8—DViring
1943 homemakers can expect to buy
many foods in bulk which they
formerly bought in more conven-
ient cans Sauerkraut is one food,
for example, which likely will be
sold only In bulk during the year
Just ahead, says LouLse Bryant,
specialist In home management lor
the A & M College Extension
Service.
P)anning meals by the week ar.d
taking war-time adjustments Into
consideration will Increase the
homemaker's efficiency the spec-
ialist believes. She predicts that
before the end of 1943 housewives
may make their soup at home or
buy It at her neighborhood grocery
store and take it home In a Jar
or bucket. Manufacture of canned
soups has been curtailed because
of uneconomical use of tin cans
Miss Bryant says eliminating the
frills In packaged foods and other
household articles may be expected
too. Soap will have fewer wrap-
pings. and there will not be as
many types and sixes of containers
on the grocer's shelves.
Looking at adjustments in the
clothing field. Miss Bryant says
consumers need not expect many
major changes in 1943. but l?44
may offer many problems. In the
year ahead homemakers will find
fewer cottons on the market, less
rayon and wool goods, and more
"blends" of wool and synthetic
fabrics Articles such as galoshes
must be "duration goods", that is,
they must last for the duration.
"There are some new mixtures,
fibers and articles on the market,"
Miss Bryant says, "but they are
still In the experimental stages, so
don't believe all the claims made
for new articles and materials on
the market. #
