Guest Day for
Albany Study Club
Guest Day for the Albany
Study Club was held in the home
of Mrs. Harry Key with Mrs.
Bill Hill and Mrs Henry Jame-
son as co-hostesses and assisted
by the decoration and entertain-
ment committees. The club pres-
ident, Mrs. Loren Williams, wel-
comed guests and called for an-
nouncements. Mrs. Bill Tilbnan
introduced the speaker.
The club was fortunate to have
as guest speaker a personality
well known in the Big Country
through her front page column
"Action Line" in the Abilene
Reporter News. Mrs Dean Ruck-
er, better known to her readers
as "EHie," writes this question
and answer column daily in the
evening paper. She is "experienc-
ed in speaking as well as writ-
ing. as she formerly worked with
the Dorothy Carnegie Courses
for Women In lier very charm-
ing and personable manner, she
told of how she and an associate
presented the idea to the editor
and asked him to let (hem initi-
ate the column. She stated that
she. soon found that there was
110 "one" book that held all the
answers to questions that could
and would be asked by readers,
and that even though the job
presented many problems!' it was
(he most fascinating job she had
ever attempted She prefaced her
remarks by saying that the
thought she would like to project
was from a quotation she once
read "Learri to look for and
detect the gleam of light which
flashes across your mind from
within. Don't rely on the firma-
ment or wisdom of bards and
sages Don't dismiss without
notice that drought just because
it is your own." -w
Lovely floral arrangements
were at many vantage points in
the home and guests were serv-
ed from a beautifully appointed
tea table Centerpiece was a to-
piary tree made of lemons
and dark red chrysanthemums.

AT LUAU—Pictured above from
dy Rodgers and Mrs. Ed Oompton,
The annual Alpha Zeta Epsi-
lon rush party was held at the
Youth Center Saturday1 night,
Oct, 4, and was enjoyed by
some forty-two guests, members
and husbands.
The total success of the event
was attributed in a large part
to the festive decorations which
were done in a Polynesian motif.
Entry to the luau was made
through a winding path of flick-
ering candles which passed by a
tiered waterfall upon whose poal
base floated orchids and lily
pads. The gufsts were present-
ed with the traditional leis at
the door.
The main room of the center
was divided into two sections
and separated by a fish net cur-
tain which afforded the illus.on
of privacy, yet did not restrict
the vision from either the party
area or dance floor. The party
area was a series of low tables
surrounding a pool of water in
which floated flowers and can-
dles, and cushions repla<ed
chairs for seating accommoda-
ions. On the tables were bas-
kets which held flowers and can-
dles The walls were covered
with fish seines decorated with
sea shells, starfish, leis and col-
orful flowers. Around the party
area a path of ivy was lined wilh
candles and flowers. *
Along the south wall were ta-
bles from which was served a
colorful array of South Sea
specialties, such as shrimp and
fish gumbo, fresh fruit and melon
balls served in a hollow water-
melon, vegetable salad, hot bread
and pineapple upside-down cake.
The tables were centered with
a large tray of tropical fruit and
lighted with tiers of orange can-
dles The snack table held a
variety of relishes, punch, chips
and dips, sliced roast beef and
cocoanut cookies.
Dinner entertainment was pro-
vided by Nancy Law, Vicky Wil-
liams and Patti Jones, who sang
several delightful songs and also
gave a short lesson on the art
of the hula dance.
The dance area was a maze of
crepe streamers interspaced
witli clusters of small balloons.
Music was supplied by a band
from Abilene called Griffin.
The total effect was one of col-
or, excitement and the fun of the
islands, and was enjoyed by
Messrs. and Mmes. Melvin An-
derson, Danny Beard, Ed Comp-
ton, Jim Cotter, Bob Echols,'
Johnny Finch, Don Green, L. D.
La timer, John Limmer, Monte
Mitcliell, Bill Morrell, Ronnie
Nail, Joe Bob Pate, Steve Riley,
Buddy Rodgers. Byron S-'ank
and Rodney Williams, and Mrs.
Vickie Mullins, Mart Halbert,
Jane Watson, Dale Garrett and

November 3rd.
The Most Important
Election of Our Time!
We muat keep a Senator in Washington who is responsible to the people
of Texas. A Democrat who is free to support Administration policies when he
thinks they're right but who ean oppose them when he thinks they're wrong.
Texaa needs two Republican Senators like we need more inflation, higher
unemployment, higher interest rates, tighter money, a higher cost of living.
George Bush may be able to do more for the Republican Party. But
Lloyd Bentsen, as a Democrat, can do more for the people of Texas.
Lloyd Bentsen will be free to oppose Republican policies of tight money and
high interest ratea which have put l ,600,000 people out of work in the last
22 months without stopping inflation. Free to work for rural development
through tax incentives for industries which locate in small towns. Free to work
for welfare laws that will guarantee opportunities and protection for thoae
who really need it rather than a minimum annual income without sufficient
work incentives. Free to support legislation that controls criminals
rather than guns.
Your vote for Lloyd Bentsen Tuesday, November 3rd will help insure
Texas' independence from Republican control.
Texas needs Democrat
Lloyd Bentsen
^ A courageous Texan with fresh ideas.
