presented and deliver them to
engineers of the Madaras cor-
poration for their study and
Consideration. (The chamber
win have no part in selection
of the site for the plant, the
location being determined by
the engineers, entirely on a
basis of which locality is best
suited to the commercial op-
eration of the plant, Harrison
stated. Factors such as avail-
ability of iron ore deposits,
fuel supply, transportation fa-
cilities, labor supply, power,
and markets for the finished
products will be the determin-
ing factors, according to the
engineers.
“Every East Texas town or
city that is interested was in-
vited to present its advantages
in writing, and all were given
equal opportunity to advance
their claims for location of the
plant," said Harrison.
Briefs were filed with the
East Texas Chamber by Tex-
arkana, Daingerfield, Atlanta,
Timpson, Hughes Springs, Pal-
estine, Jacksonville, Houston,
Jefferson, Upshur County (Gil-
mer), Beaumont, and a joint
brief by Longview, Kilgore
and Henderson.
It is expected that a deci-
sion by the engineers and of-
ficers of the Madaras Corpora-
tion of Texas on location of
the plant will be made and an-
nounced within the next few
weeks, as soon ss they have
had sufficient time to study
the factors presented by each
community seeking the plant.
Meanwhile, plans for design-
ing and building the machin-
ery for the first plant, which
will hiouue both an Iron ore
reduction plant and an electric
furnace for making steel from
the refined iron ore, are being
pushed by the company’s en-
gineers.

Bridal Show or For
Mrs. Janes H. Btubes
Outstanding Social Evaat
I An outstanding social event
of the fall season amongst
Timpson ladies, was the bridal
shower honoring Mrs. Janies
Hubert Busbee, nee Miss Cle-
tiee Brown, on the late after-
noon of October 29, 1940.
This beautiful shower was
tendered Mrs. Busbee by her
former roommate, Miss John-
nie Lou Weatherly as hostess,
and Mesdamea George Hutch-
erson and Sam Smith, co-
hostesses, using the home eco-
nomies cottage as a residence.
The cottage proved an ideal
setting for such an occasion.
The large clothing laboratory
did duty aa the drawing-room.
Four tables were arranged as
one in the center of the room,
which served as a most con-
venient place far displaying
the gifts at the proper time.
The table bore as its decora-
tion, a single crystal bowl of
huge white and yellow Jap-
anese chrysanthemums. Vases
of white and yellow moms
further enhanced the beauty
of the room. Lovely ferns pro-
vided the green background
for canying out the color
scheme of green, white and
yellow.
The hostesses were assisted
in their duties by a number of
young high school girls, wear-
ing beautiful evening gowns,
whose charm, ease of manner,
and graciousneas were the de-
light of all their elders. The
guests were received by Misses
Maurine Hilliard, Ruth San-
ford and Dorothy Jean Hoop-
er, who guided them to the
Bride’s Book, presided over
by Misses Mary Evelyn Fu-
treli and Madge Boucher. Af-
ter registering, the guests were
shown to seats in the drawing
room by Misses Doris Crump
and Doris Prince, Helen Davi-
son and Helen Sanford, who
acted as ushers throughout the
function.
The short program was
opened by Miss Madge Bouch-
er at the piano playing Lohen-
grin’s Wedding March—"Here
Comes the Bride”—and the
bride came in, gowned in
white net over white satin,
and wearing pearls as her
only ornament She was es-
corted by Misses Doris Prince
and Helen Sanford, who seat-
ed her on a dais in the front of
the room. This improvised
throne was banked high with
ferns as a background, and
flanked on either side by tall
vases of chrysanthemums. Miss
Bubbles Cooke favored the
bride with a vocal solo, "Ah,
Sweet Mystery of Life,"
Madge Boucher accompanying
at the piano. Following the
solo, a solemnly beautiful
"Toast to the Bride” was en-
acted by Misses Kate Har-
buck, Doris Prince. Ruth San-
ford, Dorothy Jean Hooper
and Maurine Hilliard, each of
the latter four girls setting a
colored candle on a white
plaque; Kate, • meanwhile, re-
citing au appropriate wish for
the bride’s future welfare and
happiness, as each candle was
set and immediately lighted by
the bride. Soft musk was
played by Miss Mary Beth
Malone at the piano during
this effective tittle ceremony.
A very appealing "Prayer for
a Bride,” by Helen Welshimer,
was given by Mrs. J. R. Nich-
ols, after whkh the bride was
requested to follow the gleam
of a white candle carried by
Kate Harbuck. This led her
into the bedroom of the cot-
tage where she was told to
view her gifts as a collection,
thus catching her first glimpse
of all the packages and tied
mystery aa it lay in one heap.
Returning to her seat of
honor, the gifts immediately
began appearing in relays of
gayly decorated baskets, and

one by one, put nto the
bride’s possession. These she
opened and all admired to-
gether. They ranged through
almost the whole gamut of
necessities, conveniences and
luxuries for every room in the
home. The final gift — the
Bride’s Book,” the beautiful
handiwork and gift of Mrs.
Bert Leaf, was now brought to
the bride. This contained the
names of the sixty-nine guests
present
After the disposition of the
gifts, the bride made a short
speech of thanks, which was
followed by the suggestion of
Mrs. Smith that the bride be
escorted to the reception room
and the guests follow, where
they would be served refresh-
ments. Here the guests were
thrilled with the view of the
lovely table spread with
snowy linen and laid with
crystal and silver. The center-
piece consisted of a crystal
bowl of tiny white and goid
chrysanthemums resting on a
mirror console set with two
tall white tapers at each end.
Miss Kate Harbuck, assisted by
Ruth Sanford, preaided over
the dining table and coffee
services. The guests were
served rolled sandwiches in
yellow and green; nuts, white,
yellow and green mints, and
coffee.
Out-of-town guests were:

LOVE AND FOOTBALL
■ A newspaper clipping which
b over ten years old bobbed
up the other day. It’s about
an interview with Fielding H.
Yost, grand old man of foot-
ball. In talking of the quali-
ties that make a great team
Yost said: “And the greatest
of these b love.”
When asked If he could
build a winning teem on this
Biblical principle, Yost replied
that a great team cannot be
built without the so-called
heart qualities: “Love of
pals,” he said, “love of the
game, love of the school the
hoys play for. Hate b a nega-
tive force while love b positive.,
and makes for strength for the
brat fighting type of man, es-
pecially when it comes to
fighting for the things in
whkh he b interested. With it
go courage, truth and faith,
all positive forces.”
Doesn’t it seem to you that
what Yost said about love and
football also applies to busi-
ness? It b only when a man
loves hb work that he can
reach peak efficiency. To win
success and happiness, this b
the secret: Fall in love with
your job, with your organiza-
tion, and with those who play
with you on your business
team.—The Silver lining.
MY TOWN
The following b from the
Nacogdoches Sentinel:
“My town has on n campaign
to raise mosey to allow its
chamber of commerce to do a
lot of things that would bene-
fit our town. My city b where
my home b just the same as
your city, wherever it is locat-
ed, n your city.
• • •
My city b where I make my
living, where my vote b cast,
where our children are educ-
ated, where my neighbors
dwell and where I live. It has
a right to my civic loyalty. It
supports me and I must sup-
port it My city wants my
friendship — not partnerner-
ship—but cooperation; sym-
pathy—not criticism; intelli-
gent support—not Indiffer-
ence. My city supplies me with
law and order, trade, friends,
educates our children, gives us
culture, recreation and the
righto of a free-born Ameri-
can. I should believe In my city
and work for it When I find
a better city I am going to
move there, but until I do I
am going to be loyal to the
one I live in.”
