COLLEGE STATION. April 17
—Keeping families healthy and
happy so they can do their share
of work which must be done by-
civilians is one way to help win
the war.
Dosca Hale, extension service
specialist in parent education and
child development, says keeping
up family spirits is a part of the
war-time pledge thousands of
Victory Demonstrators in Texas
are signing. “Plan for good times
for the family.” she advises.
“Don’t make life stern and drab,
but try to find ways of having
fun without spending much money
or using up precious automobif
tires.”
Even though transportation
must be drastically reduced, f i
milies should not give up all com
munity gatherings. Meetings of
organizations of farm men, wo-

first place in a style show held
Thursday, April 9, in the home-
making department. She wore a
royal blue afternoon dress. Her
accessories were natural hat anil
gloves, and black bag and shoes.
She will be awarded a trip to the
annual State Home Economics
Rally to be held April 17 and 18.
The style show was composed
of girls from the second and third
year homemaking classes. The
contestants modeled dresses they
had made.
Two Seniors Become Brides
Dan Cupid scored two hits re-
cently when two of this year’s
seniors became brides. Lois Bragg
and Johnnie Liedtke were mar-
ried in Hollis, Okla., Feb. 21. She
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
E. C. Bragg.
The other senior, Thelma Pres-
ton, became the bride of Delmon
Stewart about two weeks ago.
They were also married in Hollis,
Okla.

Here are some other tips:
Keep the radio and phonograph
in repair. Don’t buy new models
unless it is absolutely necessary.
Encourage children to mend
their toys and sports equipment.
Do not sacrifice the education
of children, for the post-war
world will need trained people,
able to adapt to new conditions.
Provide newspapers and peri-
odicals for the family and save
time for reading and news broad-
