COLT PITCHER TO SPEAK
—Can’t think of anything that
would create more interest in a
Father-Son Banquet than a ma-
jor league baseball pitcher as
guest speaker. Russ Kemmerer,
a player on our local big league
ball club, the Colts, of course,
will speak at the Sharpstown
Baptist Church Monday, Nov-
ember 5 at 6:45 p.m. The occa-
sion is the Brotherhood Father-
Son Banquet. Members had bet-
ter make reservations by Friday,
October 26, lest they miss the
big event.
LITTLE LEAGUE ELECTIONS
IIELI)—This reporter found out
this week about an error in the
Little League story in the col-
umn dated October 3. Seems I
had a man, Virgil Gibson, tak-
ing over as president of the Lit-
tle League Auxiliary, a club
made up entirely of members of
the fairer sex. Actually, Mr.
Gipson was last year’s Little
League president, while Mrs.
Dorothy O’Brien was president
of the Little League Auxiliary.
The purpose of the meeting I
reported on was to elect new
officers of both clubs, which
the^ did.
Newly elected officers of the
Little League include George
Reese, 5 Mockingbird, president; i
Joe Porto, 6438 Leader, vice-
president; Bob Bowen, 6 7 0 6
Sharpview, secretary; and Dale
Webb, 9415 Camargo, treasurer, j
Elmer Peper, 6333 Neff, was I
chairman of the nominating i
committee. Serving with him
were Joe Gammage, 8819 Valley I
View; L. H. Wright, 6306 Neff; |
and Virgil Gipson, 6325 Neff. I
Remaining officers will be ap- j
pointed by the president.
Little League Auxiliary offic-
ers for the coming year are Mrs.
■Billie Kobs, 7103 Neff, 1st vice-
president; Mrs. Betty Doncgan.
8703 Reamer, 2nd vice-presi-
dent; Mrs. Leona Holloway, 6305
Neff, secretary; Mrs. Olive Scott,
corresponding secretary and Mrs.
Gerald Price, treasurer. Mrs.
Evelyn Peper, nominating com-
mittee chairman, said that the
club had not, as yet, been able
to recruit a president. She is
requesting that any woman in-
terested in serving in the club
as an officer call her. Working
with Mrs. Peper on the commit-
tee was Mrs. Lamar Ramsey.
GOBLINS TO HAUNT LATE
—Room mothers at Sutton Ele-
mentary are calling mothers of
children at Sutton to enlist their
help in making preparations for
the upcoming Halloween Carni-
val. Because of serious conflicts,
the original carnival date had to
be exchanged for a later one,
November 3. The annual Hallo-
ween Carnival is the P.T.A.’s
one money making project of
the year. It will be held from 3
to 9 p.m.
MOVED TO SECTION THREE
—Braes River Drive boasts new
residents at number 8611. Mr.
and Mrs. Marvel D. Price—he’s
with Humble Oil & Refining
Company—have just purchased
a new home in our addition.
HISTORY MADE AT BON-
HAM— A milestone in the his-
tory of Bonham Elementary
school was reached this week
with the organization of a P.T.-
A. and the election of this or-
ganization’s first officers. Dr.
Clyde Slay, Jr., 9207 Bonhom-

BROWNIES GRADUATE TO
