This is The
Church of Christ
The New Testament or man’s
opinion? The latter is followed
enthusiastically by the “I think"
group. You may take your
choice. The former is pleasing to
the Lord. The following of the
New Testament brings life; the
following of man’s opinions
brings death, Matt. 15:9, 2
Thes. 1:7, 10. That which is of
man can never complete suc-
cessfully with that which is of
God.
Moses did not advocate
division of the Israelites into
various bodies with different
names. Paul did not advocate
various religious bodies with
conflicting doctrines. Let’s no-
tice 1 Cor. 1:11,13; I. Cor. 3:3,7.
We cannot afford to be divided.
Division is of and from man,
unity is from and of God.
Watermelons and squash and
apples and turnips do not come
from a peach tree. Every seed
bears after its own king. Christ
is the true vine, His products
arc Christians only— nothing
more nor less. There is no
qualifying term needed, just be
a Christian. Acts 11:26. No
qualifying term is in order as
regards the church. It is simply
the Lord’s church of the church
of Christ, Rom. 16:16. Man
must be sure that he wears
biblical names, lives in the
biblical way.
Truly there is one wny, one
Lord, one faith, one baptism,
one God and Father of all Eph.
4. Let's make the right choice in
our selection out of the two
enumerated in the beginning of
this article. Kindly notice Acts
17:11. Study with us. May we
serve? (adv)

49th T-Patchers
Reunion Set
For several years Labor Day
week-end has meant “36th
Division reunion to a host of
T-Patchers. This year will be the
49th annual reunion. Only once
in the last 50 years have the
T-Patchers failed to get together
and that was during WWII. Last
year at the Astro Hotel in
Houston, T-Patchers came from
21 states. This years reunion in
Dallas at the Hilton Inn is
expected to top that. According
to Archie McDugal, president,
"We try to get the T-Patcher to
make one...just one...reunion.
After that he is a convert and
will come back every chance he
can, and he will bring someone
with him. Our out of state
T-Patchers are more loyal than
our home-grown. Almost every-
one of the out of state men have
been made an honorary Texian”
by our governors through the
years and they are very proud of
that.”
Early-bird activities will start
Thursday August 29. Friday
evening hospitality is a time for
renewing old friendships. Miss
Texas (Shirley Cothran) daugh-
ter of a T-Patcher will drop by
before leaving for the Miss
America contest in Atlanta.
Saturday Brig. Gen William O.
Green cmdr Texas State Guard
will be guest speaker. The
Ladies Auxiliary activities, and
the dinner and ball will also be
Saturday. Sunday morning after
a coffee hour, Memorial Ser-
vices will be held.
The “Fighting 36th Division
was born out of a great tradition
and heritage handed down from
the Alamo. It was all Texans
when it went into training at
Camp Bowie some nine months
before Pearl Harbor. Five yars,
five countries, five campaigns
after it was moblized in WW II it
returned to its ranks only 600
Texans of the original division.
They fell by the hundreds on the
beaches at Salerno, in the
assaults on San Pietro, in the
bloody and ill-advised crossing
at the Papido River, at Cassino
and Anzio,...on the beaches and
along the faster but still bloody
line of march through France,
Germany and Austria.

A Parent/Child Development
Center will open at McLennan
Community College Tuesday,
Sept. 3 and will be open
school days until Dec. 19.
The Center grew from the
Child Care/Development Pro-
gram that has operated at MCC
since 1970 as a part of the
Technical Education Division.
When a residence adjacent to
the MCC campus was put up for
sale, college officials had found
a facility that was easily
accessible to child care students
and large enough for a center.
It has a large back yard, too,
with many trees.
MCC bought the home and
renovated it to meet city, state
and federal child care facilities
licensing requirements through
the use of college and Waco
Model Cities Planned Variation
Program funds.
Interior walls in the house
were removed to create three
large areas for the children. A
small room has been furnished
and set aside for staff use, and
the large kitchen was refurn-
ished to handle preparation of
the two snacks and noon meal
that will be served the children.
Outdoors is a wonderland of
toys that are designed for
creative play experience.
Dr. Ann Hansen Garrett,
director of MCC’s Child Care/
Development Program and the
Center, emphasizes that child-
ren learn through play and that
play is children's work.
She expects child deve-
lopment associates Randa Fuller
and Florine Green, who will be
directly supervising the curri-
culum at the kindergarten-child
care facility, to devise learning
experiences through observing
what the children want to do,
then building upon these.
Miss Fuller and Mrs. Green
will guide the learning experi-
ences of the children at the
Center through the materials
used and activities they sche-
dule indoors and outdoors.
They will work toward physical/
motor, emotional, social, moral,
and intellectual development of
students.
They are currently reviewing
the books, games, records, and
toys that are at the Center and
planning the curriculum for the
children. Both are graduates of
MCC with associate in applied
science degrees in child care/
development.
Miss Fuller completed seven
years of work in medical
laboratories before changing
career fields through study at
MCC. Mrs. Green directed the
First Baptist Church Nursery for
ten years, operated her own
child care center for seven
years, and served the past 10
months as assistant director of
the Marlin Day Care Center
there.
The Center will be the
laboratory site for special
projects, seminars, and basic
MCC child care/development
courses. MCC students will be
assigned during class hours to
observe or work directly with
children at the Center to study
normal behavior patterns of
youngsters.
The child care students also
study for positions in institu-
tions, hospitals, home service,
youth organizations (like Camp
Fire Girls), and also for work
with persons with special needs,
such as the deaf or handicapped
individual.
MCC's program is aimed at
meeting McLennan County and
Central Texas needs for trained
child care workers. Applica-
tions for admission into the
Center are available at the
Center at 1728 Powell Drive
weekdays from 8 a.m. until 5
p.m. Enrollment is on the
semester basis, as at MCC for
children from two years to
kindergarten age. Center hours
will be from 7:15 a.m. until 5
p.m.
