Chemistry in the
World of Computers
It may come as a surprise
to most consumers, but chem-
ical engineers are playing an
important role in the develop-
ment and manuacture of the
semiconductors used to make
computers and computer
chips. Many of the high tech
breakthroughs in the semi-
conductor industry were the
work of chemical engineers
who made advances essen-
tial in the manufacture of
computer parts.

AUSTIN—To recognize
the importance of mean-
ingful employment for
Senior Texans, Governor
Mark White designated
March 11 through March
17, as “Older Worker
Week in Texas."
Representatives of the
Senior Community Service
Employment Program and
the Texas Department on
Aging arc encouraging
both public and private
employers to join in hon-
oring Older Employees
during that week. “Older
Worker Week” is an an-
nual event designed to
spotlight the valuable qual-
ities of the mature worker.
Senior Community Service
Employment Programs em-
ploy ^over 3,000 senior
Texans, 55 years of age or
older, who are "loaned" to
nonprofit organizations to
provide needed services
throughout their commu-
nities.
“We are extremely proud
of Governor White’s rec-
ognition of ihe state’s Old-
er Workers," said Mike
N^oeller, president of Tex-
as Farmers Union, which
sponsors the two largest
Older Worker programs in
Texas. "Hiring the experi-
enced is good business—
chronological age should
be the least important
measure of a person’s true
value when being consid-
ered for employment^’
"Anyone who has spent
time with the older citizens
of this state must be struck
by one fact above all,"
Moeller said. ’’‘These peo-
ple believe in work, they
were raised on work and
they will do a days work
for a days pay It is fitting
that the Older Workers of
Texas be recognized for
their contributions to our
society."

ans Employment Program,
American Association of
Retired Persons, National

tion, National Council on

in concert with tradition
begun 25 years ago by the
American Legion, encour-
ages all employers to hire
the Older Worker, not
only during the week of
March 11th, but every
week of the year.

ing March 11th as the
beginning of “Older Work-
er Week” Thursday, Feb-
ruary 23. A kick-off lun-
cheon for "Older Worker

PLAINVIEW, TEXAS
Former Coleman resi-
dent Tim McClellan was
featured during the Christ
mas season in a story and
pictures in the Peninsula
Times-Tribune in Califor-
nia. Now a resident of
Atherton, California, Tim
owns his own business,
Timothy's Designs of
Atherton, specializing in
custom work with plants
and flowers and interior
design consultation.
The feature story high
lighted the Christmas de
corations in Tim's home, a
35year old French Nor
mandy style which he has
been renovating. Tim’s
mother Mrs. Merle McClel
lan of Coleman, has been in
California on an extended
visit and was present when
over 250 ladies including
club women and the Penin
sula Volunteers, came for
tea and a tour of the home
decorated for Christmas.
Merle baked dozens of
cookies for the occasion.
Moving from Salt Lake
City eight years ago,
McClellan joined the staff
of Ah Sam floruit in San
Mateo where he was in
charge of design. During
this period, he did floral
design for the Gordon
Gettys of San Francisco
when their home was
photographed for the
Christmas issue of Town

and Country magazine in
1979, and the Christian de
Guigne home in Hillsbor-
ough -pictured in the same
magazine the following
year.
Tim’s degree from Texas
Christian University was
in interior design but he
says he has always been in
the “flower business".
Christmas is his favorite
season and after he moved
to his present home three
years ago, he was surpris-
ed to hear carolers at the
front door. He asked if
they were caroling for
charity and they replied,
"We are your neighbors
and all we want is to see
the inside of your decorat
ed house."
Guests have learned to
expect "something differ
ent" every year and they
are never disappointed. He
is not partial to the tradi-
tional red, but uses lots of
white poinsettias in his
home. He believes in choos-
ing a decorating theme
with coordinated colors
and following it throughout
the house.
This year's tree was in
the solarium of the home.
It was coordinated top to
bottom with gold wreaths,
cupids and trumpets, apri
cot balls, silk pine cones
and frosted Clique like
glass drops. Other McClel
lan touches throughout the
home included silk gar
lands imported from West
Germany, fresh green
wreaths and a large grape
vine wreath over the living
room mantel.
A six sided terrarium on
the glass dining table held
crystal Christmas trees
and reindeer surrounded
by delicate white stars of
Bethlehem and freesias. A
birch tree in the foyer held
hundreds of tiny white
lights. Floral designers
have to do their own home
decorating early before the
very busy days of the
Christmas season, and. re
luctantly. Tim has given up
the fresh greenery which
dies before the Midays.
The front door was deco-
rated with a large grape
vine wreath and outlined in
greenery. Small trees on
each side of the door were
trimmed with ribbon bows.
Pictures accompanying
the article included the
dining room, front door
and a picture of Tim with
the large tree in the foyer.
Another large photograph
showed a wall arrange-
ment in the living room
garlanded for the holidays,
and a large fresh flower ar
rangement on the coffee
table.
