ADULT CLASS IN HOME f
FURNISHINGS TO BE HELD
An informal adult class in home
furnishings is being planned for
the last week in June by the
Homemaking Department of Ban-
dera High School. The class will
be open to all interested home-
makers in the community. The
date and time for the classes will
be June 25, 26, 27, and 28 from
7:30 to 9:30 p.m. They will be
held in the Homemaking Depart-
ment.
Among the things planned are
discussions, question-and-answer
periods, and displays of pictures
and illustrative materials on such
topics as color, furniture styles,
fabrics and textures, and home
accessories. Any other topics
that the homemakers might be
interested in will also be covered.
The classes will be informal, ac-
cording to Mrs. Lonette Wilton,
who also stated, “These classes
will be an excellent way for the
homemakers of the community to
get new ideas in housing, home
furnishing, and interior decora-
tion—subjects which are of inter-
est to almost all women. We urge
as many of you homemakers to
attend as possible.”
Several homemaking and FHA
girls will be present to assist Mrs.
Wilton with materials and refresh-
ments. Also the girls will be
available to supervise and enter-
tain any children that the women
who attend the classes wish to
bring. 52-2t

FROM THE OFFICE OF
GOVERNOR PRICE DANIEL
Governor Price Daniel announc-
ed Tuesday that Texas had closed
1961 traffic safety year with the
highest rating it had ever receiv-
ed for such a program and tied for
third place among the eight “big-
traffic” States with which it is
grouped by the National Safety
Council.
The Governor said Texas scored
an 84 out of a possible 100 points
for its overall efforts to solve
its traffic safety problems dur-
ing 1961. It had been announced
earlier that Texas’ 2,314 traffic
deaths last year was the second
lowest traffic toll since 1949,
and that the mileage rate—the
number of deaths for every 100
million vehicle miles traveled—
was 4.8, lowest in Texas history.
The Texas record was 6 per cent
below the national death rate
of 5.1 .
In the “big-state” traffic stand-
ings for 1961, the National Safety
Council report showed, Texas tied
with Illinois and Ohio with 84
points each for third place. Cali-
fornia was first with 86, Michigan
was second with 85. Other “big-
traffic” states include Indiana,
New York, and Pennsylvania.
Robert Thalmann will leave
Friday to resume his studies at
the University of Michigan at
Ann Arbor, Michigan, after spend-
ing his vacation here with his
mother, Mrs. Ira Garrison and
Rev. Garrison. While here he
had as his guest, Mike Mills, a
former classmate at the University
of Texas. Mills is now stationed
at Fort Sam Houston.

Today principal and Interest on these loans aro
being repaid... In many Instances well ahead
of schedule while the rural community en}oys the
countless blessings electricity has brought.
Modem electric systems, efficiently managed#
offer top flight service to remote areas of the

THE STORY OF SQUANTO
The story of the Indian Squanto
who came to the aid of the Pil-
grims at Plymouth at the time
of their direst needs in the early
spring of 1621 parallels in some
of its important details the Biblical
story of Joseph, who was sold by
his brother to a trading caravan
on its way to Egypt. But the
story of Squanto is seldom told
in its entirety. To get the setting
for this remarkable drama one
must go back several years be-
fore the time the Mayflower round-
ed Cape Cod with its resolute but
proverty stricken cargo of human
freight.
It should be recalled that the
Plymouth Company of England
had a royal charter to a grant of
the North Atlantic coast of Amer-
ica equal in extent to that held by
the London Company farther south.
In 1614, the Plymouth Company
employed Capt. John Smith, of
Jamestown and Pocahontas fame,
to command and exploring expedi-
tion of two ships to map the
shoreline of their grant and re-
port on the posibilities of settle-
ment. Captain Thomas Hunt had
command of one of these ships.
The voyage was made successfully
and John Smith prepared an un-
usually good map of the New
England coast, considering the
time and means at his disposal.
Captain Hunt was greatly dis-
appointed in not finding gold or
other valuable commodities for
trade. Without informing Smith
of his intentions, Hunt induced
some twenty Indians on board his
ship and while they were below
decks, fastened down the hatches
and sailed to Spain to sell the
Indians as slaves. Squanto, then
but a young lad, was among these
unfortunate prisoners.
By some change of luck Squan-
to came into the possession of an
English merchant who took the
boy to England, taught him the
English language and gave him
freedom. It is said by some of
the early writers that Squanto
was sent on some of the fishing ex-
peditions to the Newfoundland
banks. Now comes the peculiar
events which placed Squanto back
in New England among his own
people. To quote an early his-
torian: “In the year 1619, Capt.
Dormer was sent to New England,
and with him Squanto, the In-
dian, as an interpreter, to en-
deavor to make peace with the
natives, and settle a colony in
Massachusetts Bay, but to no
purpose: the Indians would not
be reconciled, and, in a skirmish
with them received further wounds
whereupon he proceeded to Vir-
ginia, leaving Squanto on horse
in New England.” We learn from
other sources that Capt. Dormer
died of his wounds soon after in
Virginia. All the expedition had
accomplished was the landing of
a young Indian in America. That
incident, insignificant as it must
have seemed at the time, saved
the Plymouth colony from certain
doom some eighteen months later.
Squanto belonged to the tribe of
which Massasoit was chief. The
Massasoits were badly beset at
that time by the powerful Narra-
gansetts. By explaining to Mas-
sasoitt how numerous and power-
ful the English were Squanto in-
duced that crafty chief to make
friends with the Pilgrims for the
assistance they might render him
in his conflict with their mortal
enemies to the south. This ex-
plains why Samoset came to Ply-
mouth in the Spring of 1621 say-
ing in broken English, “Welcome.”
Squanto and Massasoit himself
arrived a day later. The Pilgrims
then had lost half their number
by death. Of the fifty remaining
so many were weakened by disease
that they could have offered but
feeble resistance if the attitude
of the Indiana had been hostile.
So fearful were the Pilgrims of
attack they would not let the In-
dians enter their houses where
they might learn to what desper-
ate straits they had been reduced,
but hel dtheir interview beyond
the little creek which crosses the
sandy plain on which the settle-
ment was located. As every
schoolboy knows, an agreement of
friendship was made between the
tribe of Massasoit and the Pil-
grims.
Squanto remained with the
whites that summer, taught them
how to catch fish, plant and
fertilize their corn fields and
served as their interpreter on
trading expeditions for corn and
beans. Squanto was taken sick
on one of these trips up the coast
in 1622 and died, much to the
sorrow of his white friends.
The devout Bradford, to whom
we are indebted for much of our
information about the early days
of the Plymouth colony, saw in ail
these events the work of a divine
power and referred to Squanto as
a “Special instrument amt of God
for their good beyond their expec-
tation.’’
During July 1962 certain busi-
nesses must register and pay for
occupational tax stamps for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1963,

ternal Revenue Service in San An-
tonio. This provision of federal

maintain for use or deal in or with:
Coin-operated amusement devices,
use Form 11-B; Bowling alleys,

11-B; Adulterated and process or
renovated butter, use Form 11;
