Class In Gardening
Will Be Organized
For Boys Of Seetion
Boys of the section will have
opportunity to enroll in a free class
in gardening, according to Ferd
Rieger of 6516 Brompton Road
who plans to organize a group with
instruction starting the latter part
of September. Lessons will cover
the handling of seed for various-
flowers and vegetables, preparing
the soil, planting, cultivation, plant-
ing and pruning shrubbery and
trees and other phases of garden-
ing.
Mr. Rieger, an attorney for the
Texas Company, has followed gar-
dening as a hobby for a number of
years. The interest which several
neighborhood boys have displayed
in learning about plants gave him
the idea for forming the class. The
group will be limited to 30 mem-
bers, and boys between 10 and 15
years will be eligible. The class
will meet for an hour's instruction
once a week for some six to ten
weeks. No charge will be made,
but the boys will furnish any mate-
rials they may need, such as boxes,
soil and seed.
Boys who arc interested may call
Mr. Rieger at Madison 2-3416 be-
tween 5:30 and 7 p.m.

'DARK WATERS'
Attributing much of his s
an early interest in Horatio
Alger books and the fact that he
learned the Morse code at the ten-
der age of 10, King Robinson only
vaguely remembers the days of his
hildhood in Fort Smith, Arkansas,
vhere he was born March 20, 1911.
Beneficial results of his delving
n Alger masterpieces arc doubtful,
but his ability to use a telegraph
transmitter obtained for him his
first job as assistant station master
in the railroad terminal at the me-
tropolis of League City when he
was only 15. Almost 16 years ago
King joined the staff of Radio Sta-
tion KTRH in the engineering de-
partment and is now director of
public relations for that organiza-
tion.
Former Marine
The amiable Mr. Robinson has
lived in Houston for 23 year
cept for a brief interlude when he
joined the Marines in 1940. He was
a corporal in public relations and
eceived a medical discharge
1941.
King and his charming wife,
arie, live at 6337 Vanderbilt. The
excitement 'round the house is
caused by Junior, the pup, which,
cording to King, is quite a dog.
As president of the Houston
Junior Chamber of Commerce, and
earlier as a director of that organi-
zation, King has taken an active
part in practically every War Loan,
Red Cross and War Chest drive
staged in this city since the war
began. He has consistently worked
chewi,ccosw*tics
tinted fo ISeauty
Each of these famous preparations has
been formulated by Hudnut chemists to
do its special job and at the same tune to
blend chemically with the others. Use a
single DuBarry Beauty Preparation and
the result is good. Use a group in a deiinite
beauty routine such as our DuBarry Ad-
visor will plan for you . and the result
of each is even better. They are indeed the
Beauty Preparations of Success.

Canteen.
Many Activities
King modestly admits that he is
a direct descendant of Jefferson
Davis, but not so hesitantly lets
you know of his captaincy in the
Texas State Guard, 48th Battalion.
He belongs to the Elks, the Hous-
ton Ad Club, and is an Optimist by
membership as well as disposition.
He is a member of the military af-
fairs and the publicity committees
I of the Houston Chamber of Com-
merce and serves in the public rela-
tions division of the CED.
Like many other big business
tycoons these days, King is very
absorbed in post-war planning. He
is "champing at the bit" waiting
for the bigwigs of KTRH to com-
plete final details so that he can
elease the big story on the studio's
lew streamlined quarters and facil-
ities to be installed very soon in the
Rice Hotel. Another big develop-
ment he'll announce soon will be
the proposed construction of the
new FM (frequency modulation)
transmitter on the Gulf building.
While King's pastimes and hob-
bies are almost too numerous to
mention, what he likes best is hunt-
ing and fishing.

I could not let her stand—

With that strap held in her hand.
