Allens Chapel Club
“The cotton stamp program was
fully explained at the Texas Home
Demonstration Association, Dis-
trict 4, held at Cleburne April 22,”
said Mrs. Avery Young, delegate
from the Allens Chapel H. D. Club,
in giving her report to the club
members Thursday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. Omer Witcher.
The 640,000 cotton farmers of
Texas will have $16,000,00p worth
of cotton stamps released to them
this year if all participate in the
supplementary cotton program and
voluntarily reduce their 1941 cot-
ton acreage.
Mrs. Young said an interesting
exhibit was 25 dollar tables and
50 dollar tables of cotton goods,
garments and articles available
through the cotton stamp plan.
Among the reports from the dif-
ferent county chairmen were the
following: Family relationships,
expansion work, food and feed de-
fense program, frame gardens,
mattress making, and land use
planning. Everyone appreciated
the good report the representative,
Mrs. Young, brought back to them.
Mrs. Elmer Neely, club president,
announced that the Fannin County
Home Demonstration women are
invited to. send representative
groups to the REA Farm Equip-
ment Show for Fannin and Lamar
counties May 15 and 16, and assist
in the meals to be served, the H.
D. Council to receive a share of
the proceeds. This, club is to co-
operate.
Everyone joined in the games of
“Horse Sense” questions and an-
swers. The hostesses, Mrs. Omer
Witcher and Mrs. Calvin Neely,
served delicious refreshments to
the guests.—Reporter.

Success Story
Anybody who ever ex-
claimed, or felt like exclaim-
ing', “I never had a chance,”
should have a look (with the
mind’s eye) at Mrs. Feinberg.
This lady runs a fish market
in New York, has three of
her five sons on her staff,
and does an annual business
of $400,000 a year.
In rating chances of nor-
mal persons to succeed, surely
none could be put much lower
than a little immigrant girl
of eleven, speaking only Rus-
sian, and having all her
worldly goods tied up in a
handkerchief. The time was
1885. But this girl was eager
to work, and determined to
get along.
In a few years she had ac-
quired a husband and a fish
cart. B’y diligence the cart
was worked up to a standing
store. Then one, day oppor-
tunity knocked on the door,
and Fannie threw it wide
open. An order came toYup-~
ply the fish for a large hotel
banquet. Fannie took charge
of it personally, and instead
of merely delivering the num-
ber of pounds ordered, she
decided to have the fish
cleaned and cut into indi-
vidual portions ready to be
cooked and served.
That extra service not only
made a permanent friend of
the hotel but attracted oth-
ers, and the little store, al-
ways seeking to give better
service, grew into a market
handling nearly 8,000,000
pounds of fish a year — The
Pathfinder.
