At the third session, January

sion,” will be shown. This film
shows the problems facing 23
million Chinese living on the rim

Malaya, Singapore, Thailand and
Burma, and tells how the church
is ministering there through
medical and social work, educa-
tion and evangelism.
Fourth Session
At the fourth and final ses
sion of the mission study on
January 27, Dr. John B. Holt,
associate professor of Missions,
Southern Methodist University,
Dallas, Texas, will be the speak-
er. Dr. Holt is the author of
various published writings in
the Philippines and United
States and for ten years was
pastor of Knox Memorial Metho-
dist Church in Manila, Philip-
pines, as a missionary to the
Methodist Church. Dr. Holt holds
a B.S. degree from McMurry
College, a B.S. degree from Per-
kins School of Tehology (SMU),
and a D.D. degree from McMurry
College.
A children’s mission study will

I new business openings a week.
| And inevitably, the population
I flooded to the West and South
r along the three main arteries—
Bellaire iBlvd.. Old Richmond Rd,
and S. Post Oak. Businesses fol-
| lowed.
Houston followed, too, and
annexed practically all terri-
tory in sight. The Bellaire Di-
rectory, which used to go to
about 3000 homes, now goes
to the some 17-18,000 occupied
homes in Houston 35, 36 and
Bellaire 101.
I suppose 1963 will see a con_
I tinuation of this great urban ex-
pansion into the suburbs. And
eventually, Harris County will
be but one metropolitan center.
Already the Southwest area is
flowing across the county line
into Ft. Bend county. Soon, too,
it will be engulfed into what will
be the Greater Houston Area.
Such is life these days. But I
wonder what has become of the
rice farmers and stock raisers.
When we opened The TEXAN
there were two feed and farm
implement dealers in Bellaire.
Wonder where they finally re-
settled?
WARMING THE BENCH with a broken leg
isn t such a dismal prospect if you can sport
a cast autographed by three of the Houston
Onlers. That's the position in which young
Joe Ballantyne finds himself. An avid foot-
ball player and enthusiastic fan of the Oilers,
Joe had to sit out his own neighborhood
game as well as miss a recent Oiler game
because of his leg. Oiler safety man Jim
Norton heard about the youngster and took
team mates Bob Schmidt and Ed Hussman
out to cheer him up. They scored a success
when all autographed his leg cast. Norton,
far right, signs up while Schmidt (far left)
and Hussman look on. Joe, the ll-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Ballantyne, 4910
Holt, is a student at Lovett Elementary
School. Father, Tim Ballantyne, is local sales
manager for the Metallic Building Company
and a former University of Arizona basket-
ball star who played on the University’s nat-
ional championship team in the late '40s.

Cuban Refugees ...
(Continued From Page 1)
I Mr. Llinas came to this coun-
try in 1961 alone and secured
employment in New York, said
H. C. Dill, 3815 Arnold, who
with A1 Zimmerman, 4808 Maple,
is coordinating the refugee pro-
ject for St. George’s.
Mr. Uinas then brought his
j family here, Mr. Dill said, and
' they later moved to Miami.
Before coming to the United
States, he had worked in Havana
as a shipping and receiving clerk
for a large pharmace\itical house
and as an electrician and radio
repairman. Efforts are now un-
derway to secure employment for
him, Mr. Dill said.
The family is now settled in
i apartment at 3833 Bluebon-
net and attended church services
at St. George's on Sunday and
on Christmas Eve.
St. Patricks
Members of St. Patrick's Epis-
copal Church had an apartment
ready for Manuel Ovies, his wife,
Concepcion, and their two child-
ren, Manuel Jr., 17, and Carlos,
11. They are now residing at
1425 Bran a rtl.
Their arrival here at Christ-
mas time was a particularly joy-
ous one because they have rela-
tives here. Mrs. Ovies’ parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Vasquez,
live at 5216 Plumb, and she also
has a sister here, Mrs. Richard
Kelly.
Mr. Ovies, who formerly own-
ed a hardware store in Havana,
has already secured employment
with the Fletcher-Emerson Com-
pany. Their older son, is work-
ing full time during the holidays
at the Tidelands and after school
starts again wall work part time.
The family attended services
wife of a former general under j rare birds but had never actually
seen this species alive.

the ornithological thrill of a
lifetime when he—with others—
spotted not one but two Eskimo
Curlews. Probably the rarest
bird in the world that has been
seen alive in recent years, the
Eskimo Curlew has been regard-
ed as extinct since the 1930s.
Prior to this at the end of the
last century, the bird was
slaughtered in large numbers
at St. Patricks over the weekend arK* s0^ commercially,
and parishioners are enjoying j Eskimo Curlew

English.
Co-chairmen of the project for
the church are Mr. and Mrs.
Whit Mason, 5439 Dumfries, and
Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Chase, 5618
Burlinghall.
The family sponsored by St.
Mark’s is settled in an apart-
ment at 3833 Bluebonnet. They
are, Mrs. Felina Quesada Gon-
zalez, a seventeen-year-old son,
Juan, a daughter, Mrs. Emma
Quesada Gonzalez and her 43fc-
year-old son, Hugo.
The family fled Cuba after
hiding out for 25 days in a base-
ment waiting to get transporta-
tion out of the country. They
first went to Mexico City and
then to Miami.
The elder Mrs. Gonzalez is the
er, Trevor Feltner. Then last
spring Dr. Marrack and others
saw two birds of the species at
different locations on the same
day. Dr. Marrack’s father, here
from England on a visit, was
along on the count and also ob-
served the ornithological won-
der. “We suspect he’s the only
person in England who has ever
seen one,” Dr. Marrack said.
The event generated no little
excitement among birders here
and elsewhere.
Dr. Elisha Atkins, of the De-
partment of Medicine at Yale,
heard that two of the birds had
been spotted here, called the air-
port and caught the next plane
to Houston for the sole purpose
of observing them. Dr. Adkins
has made an extensive study of
