The school colors of red and
white were carried out in table
decoration at the reception.
The church was pleasingly nice
with its recent redecorating and
lovely new furniture, and also
new floor covering.
Was nice meeting Ollie
Duffield, Jr. of Fort Worth,
when we were in that city last
week. He is pastor of the Rosen
Heights Church of Christ in
Fort Worth.
He was introduced as Mr.
Duffield, and later in the con-
versation one of his members
addressed him as Ollie, and then
it registered with us that he
must be Ollie Jr., the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ollie Duffield,
Sr. of Mineral Wells, and sure
enough he was, and on learn-
ing this we had quite a little
conversation. Everyone knows
Ollie, Sr. has been with the
Mineral Wells Index longer than
anyone.
Unless you are in a hurry-
and who is not these days. You
are almost always able to play
a guessing game when you dial
your telephone here in Palo
Pinto. The guessing game is:
When you dial the correct num-
ber, it's a guess whomever
might answer. Seems like old
times as sometimes you will
get two people on your line
when you dial and again it is
"party line" time in Palo Pinto.
However, several comical
things about conversations
on these "party lines" have
been reported.

An old man in Australia holds his Bible with shaking
hands. Painstakingly his pointing finger follows along a
well-loved passage. In a village in Guatemala an Indian lad
reads joyfully from a New Testament written in elementary
Spanish. In a rural area of Japan a lively youth group dis-
cusses the Scriptures using Bibles printed in their mother
tongue.
People like these, and thousands more in every corner
of the earth, read Bibles today because of the work of the
American Bible Society. Founded on May 8, 1816, the So-
ciety's sole object is the widespread circulation of the Scrip-
tures. Now, faced with a worldwide population explosion
and mounting literacy, the Society sees an exciting challenge
in rededicating itself to its goal: that no matter what his
language, whether rich or poor, or where he lives — no man,
woman, or literate child should be without the Scriptures.
In our space age of confusion and change, the Bible re-
mains constant. Read and study the Bible faithfully, and
attend your church regularly. Hear there the word of God
— His greatest gift, so freely given.
THE3 CHURCH FOR ALL • ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual
values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civili-
zation can survive. There are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regularly and support the Church.
They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake.
(3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support.
Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.

By DORA ROGERS
Another beautiful month of May
is almost gone into history.
How sad for we folks who have
not accomplished deeds worthy
of making history but how pleas-
ant and happy to have seen and
understood the beauty of na-
ture, to have planted, pruned,
enjoyed nature's bountv of food
and beauty, of the birth of tiny
seeds that God made to last
forever, to have the ability to
enjoy and appreciate the season
of each passing year. So if we
wish to be remembered for
worthy deeds by ourfellowman,
we had better become conscious
of fleeing time.
Out of state guests inMrs.
Webb Pierce's home this week-
end were Mrs. Art Bentz of
Loving, New Mexico; Mrs. Jim
Barrett of Hobbs, New Mexico;
her sister-in-law Mrs. Bertha
Wilson of Fort Worth and Hu-
bert Hitt of Odessa.
Mrs. Bobbie Simpson and her
■sister, Mrs. Nannie Buck, had
as guests Friday and Satur-
day, her daughters, Mrs. Tom-
my Warren and Mrs. Pet Ab-
bott of Houston.
Mrs, J, W„ Blue appreciated
an unexpected visit by her
grandson, Darwin Fulford and
his wife of Virginia, who were
on their way to Woodbridge,
Calif, for government training.
He has just returned home from
an assignment on an island, re-
habilitating natives, and will now
take four more years of train-
ing in the same line of work.
Mr. and Mrs. Granby Philips
of Poolville spent Sunday with
their sister, Mrs. Bill Merri-
man and Bill.
Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Henley
has been spending his furlough
in the city with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. T.M. Henley, and
other relatives. They left Sun-
day for Manhattan, Kansas.
Before our next news we will
be in the month of June, the
time for family reunions and
picnics as the old settlers have
moved their date back to June.
We must not forget the date,
June 11 and the Gordon Home-
coming will be June 12. It is
too bad we have them so close
together. Really the old settlers
should make the change.
Mrs. Gazena Fletcher is at
home again after two weeks in
Ft. Worth and Dallas visiting
her daugher, Mrs. Neita Sue
Hurst and family her mother and
sister in Dallas.
Mrs. Bettie Finch made the
plane trip back from Wash-
ington, D.C. We are happy to
have her back home again.
My sakes! Some of us "stay at
home widows" should start a
fish bait business of some kind
to help all the fishermen, but
come to think of it, maybe that
isn't such a good idea.
Looks like they are getting the
good ones all out.

The next job for my house is to
gather the poke salad greens
for the deepfreeze. We find
it the most perfect greens, vet
and so easy to take care of.
Chicken snakes seem to think
I am the best to feed them as
they are on hand just as I get a
bunch a good size to swallow.
This week one had the audacity
to come to the carport and try
to rob my birds nest. Well, he
failed. The son was on hand with
a bullet. The snake was almost
five feet long.

Choir.
Mrs. Loyd Strain and the jun-
ior girls will be knocking at
the door of the shut - ins who

and some who did not return. It
is for those that we remember
in Flanders Field.

children, Pat and Joe Segars of

Regal Asparagus
bv Gavnor Maddox
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
Fresh asparagus is always one of the most
welcome signs of spring. Served hot with
butter, buttered crumbs or a Hollandaise
sauce, it is a regal vegetable. Served cold
with a vinaigrette sauce, it is a de luxe but
simple to prepare salad. Combined with meat, fish or eggs,
it adds flavor and color to delicious cooked dishes.
For an unusual hors d'oeuvres snack, and something dif-
ferent to serve with soup or salad, try this recipe.
FRESH ASPARAGUS-HAM ROLLS
(Serves 8)
8 spears fresh asparagus, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon
cooked
' 4 teaspoon salt
1 pkg. (8 oz.) refrigerator
crescent rolls
2 tablespoons melted
butter or margarine
Cut 8 spears of cooked asparagus into 4-inch pieces.
Sprinkle with V4-teaspoon salt. On lightly floured surface,
unroll crescents. With rolling pin, roll each triangle out
flat. Brush with melted butter or margarine mixed with the
lemon juice. Sprinkle each triangle with 2 tablespoons grated
cheese." Roll each piece of asparagus in a square of ham;
place at wide end of triangle. Turn in ends of dough over
ham, and roll from wide to small end. Place on ungreased
baking sheet. Brush tops of rolls with butter-lemon mixture:
sprinkle with caraway seed. Bake in preheated moderate
oven (375 degrees) 15 to 17 minutes or until golden. Serve
hot as a soup or salad accompaniment along with the rest
of the hot, cooked spears seasoned with French dressing.
