When the Delta Alpha
Chapter of Delta Kappa
Gamma met Monday,
March 21, in the Hospital-
ity Room of First Coleman
Natjonal Bank, members
were greeted by a series of
computer screens. Pro-
gram chairman Coyita
Bowker presented Roland
Nicholas, computer in-
structor from Santa Anna
and two of his student as-
sistants, Randy Casey and
Steve Hughes.
Mr. Nicholas chose the
subject, ‘The Use-pf Com-
puters in Education" for
his presentation. He stated
. that we are in the informa-
tion revolution since man’s
knowledge is doubling
every five years." “Even
though computers help
control and manipulate",
he said, “they have limita-
tions and can do only what
they have been program-
med to do.” Two kinds are
in use: the dedicated and
thegeneral purpose.
Hardware, the physical
divisions, and software,
the program sets, are still
very expensive, yet the
use in homes, schools and
industries is on the rise. In
fact, the legislature is con-
sidering making it manda-
tory for schools to make
computer training avail-
able for students. Several
members tried their skills
on using the various key-
boards.
During the business
meeting, President Mar-
garet Crews presided. The
group sang ‘The Eyes of
Texas" as Gail Loyd played
the piano and Joan Jones
led the song.
Neil Starnes chose a
meditation on thoughtful-
ness to present. Dorothy
Harris called roll and read
the minutes.

King, to meet with Edwina
Justice to decide on some
appropriate books to add
to the library in memory of
Ada Croom.

Enough Oil?
Check the oil level with
every fill-up. Pull the dip-
stick out, wipe it clean,
put it all the way back in,
then pull it out again. The
oil level should be be-
tween the "add” and
“full” marks. An en-
gine with low oil will heat
up, cause wear and use
more fuel.

We make the only real lawn fertilizer there is.
Turf Builder * fertilizer is engineered This spring get the Scotts difference-
just for lawns. Other so-called lawn fertil- arid get it for less, with this refund offer,
izers are crude mixes of farm fertilizers.
They force-feed grass so it grows very tall,
very fast. Your lawn doesn't need that, -
and neither do yott—unless you love to
mow. But Scotts* (and only Scotts) bonds
a unique, controlled-release nitrogen
with other lawn nutrients, to feed your
fawn safely and steadily, as it needs it.
You can’t get all that from "bargain"
brands. You can only get it in a bag that
says Scotts. Because we don't make fertil-
izer for anyone else.
No wonder Stotts guarantees your sat-
isfaction absolutely. Our products are
that much better. And we care that
much about your success with your lawn.
