We have been informed that plans
Garden Club of Bonham, and held! for the opening of'the Site I recre
22 in the home of Mrs. Ed Sherer.
As a rule the exterior of the house
and surrounding grounds reflect the classes, and the reader can see there
character of its inmates said Miss
Dozier. She made the following sug-
gestions. In roofing your house get
the best shingles, edge grain. They
last so much longer than the cheaper
shingles. Use. the galvanized nails.
They are more expensive but they
will last as long as the shingle and
owing to their rough surface stay
in place better. In shingling over
old roofs use longer nails. This will
give double protection. The house
should be .guttered, carrying the
water away; this protects the foun-
dation. Flues and chimneys should
be thoroughly gone over at least
once a year. The color you paint
your house should harmonize with
the surrounding country. Good
galvanized screen wire need not be
painted.
The meeting was opened with the
song America the Beautiful. Mrs.
E. M. Sherer gave a report of the
council meeting.
The entertaining committee pre-
sented a very enjoyable program.
Lovely frozen punch and cookies
were served to eleven cottage Bend
members, fourteen English mem-
bers, Miss Dozier and three visitors.

Cottage Bend
Good grooming of the exterior of
the house, was the main topic dis-
cussed by Miss Dozier at the joint
meeting of the English and Cottage [fine exhibit. It would take volumes| the recreational facilities at the
Bend clubs which met Friday, April i to go into details regarding the var-l lake north of Honey Grove at Site
ious exhibits, and their beauty. Be-1 II were discussed in Washington
low are the winners in the several last month: A representative of: the
Regional Office from Dallas will
return shortly from Washington
where he was called several days
ago, and it is hoped that the pro-
posal submitted in February from,
the local office will be approved
and consequently definite plans will
have been formulated for ho opera-
tion of these areas.
At Site I all structures are com-
plete with the exception of the
Lodge building. Work on it is go-
ing on rapidly and the interior , of
knotty pine will soon be finished,
and the oak floors will be placed
next week. The wiring for this
building as well as for all of the
cabins has been completed, and it
is ready for the fixtures. The
furnishings of tables, chairs, and
setees of cedar and pine will soon be
completed. Within the next thirty
days, practically all work at this
site will be completed.
Preparations are being made for
the dedication ceremony at which
time Honrable Sam Rayburn, who
has done much for this project, will
be present and deliver the princi-
pal address. It is thought that the
sites will be opened to the general
public sometime between the first
and fifteenth of June, at which time
no doubt, fishing will be permitted
at both sites although restrictions
as to the number and weight of fish
will be rigidly enforced. Charges
for fishing will be reasonable in. or-
der that all classes of people may
enjoy this phase of recreation
which has been placed here by the
Government. '* " 1
A proposal whereby , the recrea-
tional facilities concentrated on
some 20.0 acres at Site I will be
leased on a concession basis has
been made to Washington, and no
doubt in the future this area1 will be
handled in such a manner. How
ever, in case the details have not all
been worked out by June 3 whereby
this may be done* the local manage-
ment is making plans to open the
sites under the direct supervision of
the present personnel.
DREW LARGE CROWD
LEONARD GYMNASIUM I
DEDICATED FRIDAY
_ The Fannin (County Singing Asso-
ciation held a meeting here Satur-
DEATHS
John W.. A. Barker
Friday at the city hall, was a very! ational area north of Bonham and d&y and Sunday, parts of each day
being taken up with the; program.
This association has grown to be one
of the biggest in the state,. It always
was a large affair,, from the very
.start, hut now it bids fair to spread
out until no building can hold it.
The fact of the business is there was
an overflow at the Auditorium
here on Sunday, so great was the
multitude attending. . ■ ’ .
It would be impossible to attempt,
even, to enumerate the people here—•
they were here, from everywhere, and
this list of. towns and sections repre-
sented will give the reader an Idea of
the vastness of the undertaking.
There were people at the gathering
from Wolfe, City, Greenville,. Sher-
man, Denison, Dallas, Ardmore, Ok-
la., Fort Towson, Okla., Madill, Okla.,
Paris, Commerce., Cooper, Enloe, and
others, ■
It was a feast of song from start
to finish, and people who like to sing
certainly had a chance Sunday to join
in the choruses. Also , there were
solos, duets, trios and quartets.
The next meeting will be held in
Bonham, the first Sunday in Novem-
ber, as this i,is a twice- a-year con-
clave.
ASia^tS'd^^ded^eH^j John w- A* pafker,;;who-lived at

der of the Fannin County Mercantile
Co., son of Mr. and Mrs. Crider.
Charlie Robinson, of Boswell,
Okla., has been in Bonham, where
he used to be in the horse and mule
business. He says he is still in that
line of endeavor in Oklahoma.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones and
Mrs. Bud Smith went over to Dallas
Monday morning to bring Harry
Sangster home. He has been in a
hospital there for treatment.
Jim Ned Inglish and his wife were
here Saturday night and 'Sunday to
visit Jim’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.
R. Inglish, and other relatives. The
visitors live in Tyler.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Mayfield of Val-

ing pitchers and candlesticks, Mrs.
J. G. Varner had a collection of
vocks that she had gathered from
various points. Sarah Frances and
Ethel Davis Adams had a list of tir.y
dolls, and there might have been
others.
The Garden Club is pardonably
proud of its achievement, and extends
SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS P ARTY I
“All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy,” that’s what some say—
anyhow it doesn’t seem to work out.
Even in a Sunday school class the
little folks want their work and play
mixed, and parties are one thing
they enjoy very much.
So Friday afternoon, Mrs. Felix
Burnett entertained her Sunday
school class in her home. Games
were played into, which all entered
heartily and enjoyed,.
When time for refreshments drew
near Bill Burke Lindsey said he liked
to go to parties where they had lots
of good things to eat. When he saw
the heaped up plates with Ice cream,
angel food cake and candies, he ex-
claimed, “May be I can pat all that
it looks mighty good!”
Those present were: Bebe Jean
Dorough, Gertrude Ballenger, Mary
Lee Kuykendall, Walter Ray John-
son, Elmer Moore, Billy Burke Lind-
sey, Elden Gray Clayton, Lila Nell
Hudson, Ella Mae Clayton, and 0.
H. Blacksheaf.
Assisting Mrs. Burnett as hostesses
were, Mrs. Tv J. Clotfelter, Miss
Martha Roberts and Miss Dorothy
Marie Lovelace.
YOUNG LADY HELPED BY THE
ROTARY CLUB WAS IN TOWN
The man, or set of men, or wo-
men, who help humanity, physically
or otherwise, have reason to believe
that reward is due them from a
higher authority than. any on this
mundane sphere—the fact of the
business is the act is its own re
ward for such endeavor.
Not so long ago the Rotary Club
here, wishing to serve, sent a crip
pled girl to Dallas for treatment,
tjie club defraying the expense. The
young lady is Miss Ruby Jean Kin-
caid. She lives at Ravenna. Ruby,
can now get about with crutches,
and hopes to be able to lay the'
crutches aside at no distant date,
thanks to the men who compose the
Rotary Club, and who have been in-
strumental in her being . .treated.
The young lady was in town Sat-
urday, and the happy smile she had
on her pretty face was enough re-
ward for anyone who had anything
to do with helping her in her physi-
cal afflictions.
E. C. Frost of this city, who is
manager of the federal depot where
foodstuff is parceled out to the needy
is in receipt of a letter from the head
office in San Antonio, in which he
was advised that his handling ship-
ments of perishables was very satis-
factory. Mr. Frost knows his busi-
ness very well, a fact that the gov-
ernment has fo-und out, and is quick
to acknowledge.
Frank Wright and Choice Moore
were in Sulphur Springs Saturday
night , to hear Gerald Mann fire his
initial gun in his ; campaign for at-
torney' general. They report a big
crowd. Many other Bonham people
heard the address, over radio.
The James D. Vaughn quartet of
Dallas will give a concert at the high
school auditorium Tuesday night for
the benefit of the Bonham High
School’ Band. The public is cordially
‘invited to attend, and help the Iband.
Miss Margaret White arrived in the
city Monday morning at an early
hour from 'Cleveland, Ohio, to visit
her father, who is confined to his
room, account of illness.
