Community Progrew Week
The Chamber of Commerce is coming
up next week with a new and potentially
beneficial project ‘to* a
This fa Community Progress Week,
which is scheduled to occupy the full Feb.
8-14 Interval.
The purpose of Community Progress
Week is to extend the Services of the
Chamber of Commerce to every resident
of Hopkins county and "to learn what the
people feel is most needed for the overall
advancement of the community.
, The weekY program will take the form
• of a series of at least 20 meetings. Some
will be held in the chamber office here,
but others will be conducted in other
places in Sulphur Springs and in various
towns and rural communities in the coun-
ty.
The object will be to reach every area
l and every interest group in the county.
At each meeting a forum discussion
will be held to develop ideas for specific
improvements that the particular group at
hand feels are needed. Just for a bart-
er, these, might cover such things as bet-
ter roads, paved streets, community cen-
ters, and new industry.
At the close of the discussion cards
will be passed out and each person will
be asked to list the projects which he be-
lieves most need Chamber of Commerce
attention in order of priority.
The cards then will be collected and
the entire assortment will be tabulated
later by the East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce. which will prepare specific reports
on the outcome.
Net result of all this should be a fair-
ly complete study of what the people of
Hopkins county want and the degree and
type of support for any particular pro-
posal.
Similar idea collecting sessions have
been held here in the past, but this is the
first approach to the subject on a county-
wide scale.
Community Progress Week offers a
"valuable opportunity to bring the people
of Hopkins county closer to their Cham-
ber of Commerce and to map a chamber
program that will meet the needs of the
community most adequately. It is an op-
portunity which should be utilized and de-
veloped to the fullest possible extent.

A.P. STAFF WRITER
Washington. — Everyone agrees the wife of
the new British am|>assador, Sir Roger Makins,
will be onto of the Capital's moet popular * and
successful hostesses.
The tall, slender, beautiful young American,
born Lady Makins made a hit firat off when she
invited Capital newiwomen to tea at the embassy.
Standing before’ a .huge fireplace in the drawing
room, she answered their questions, pertinent and
- Some impertinent, with charm and good natured
..frankness. This was her first press conference,
she confided. “And I’m having a delightful time.
Can I offer someone a cigarette, or are you too
awfully busy with those awful pens and pencils?’’
This, however, will not be Lady Makins’ first
experience as a Capital hostess. As the former
Miss Alice Davis, she often assumed that role fot
her father, the late Dwight Davis, who was Secre-
tary of war in the Cooiidge administration and
who later served as governor general of the Phil-
ippines. She eras a diplomatic hostess too when
her husband was third secretary at the embassy
in 1981 when he returned as economic minister
in 1945.
Barn In St. Louis, she was educated in Wash-
ington and Paris and made her debut in the Cap-
itol, as did her younger sister, Cynthia, now the.
wife of William McChesney Martin, chairman 6f
the Federal Reserve Board. “It’s been great fun
living in two countries,” she said. “You ought
to try it sometime.”
Two of the Makins' six children were intro-
duced after tea was served in the ballroom.. They
were Patricia? 7, and Dwight, nearly 2. Twin
-daughters Molie hnd Cynthia, 17 1-2, are in a sec-

and she’s had little .time for needlepoint, painting
or even tennis, whkh she plays fairly well. In
England. lady Makins was active with the Girl
Guides and was president of the group in Hamp-
shire, where she also helped with Britain's food
production on the family’s 500-acre farm.

OUT OUR WAY
By J. R. Williams
New York—Pretty Pat Easton,
& pert singer who has trilled her
fetching tunes in front of some
of the best bands ofi Broadway
stages, was very startled about
two weeks after her wedding when
her husband came home carrying
the statue of a beautiful nude
girl under his arm. Her husband,
Joe Derise, would ' spend hours
walking aroud this statue and
studying its lovely feminine con-
tours.
The much-puzzled Mrs, Derise
was further confused when Jae
again c*me home, this time ac-
companied by two stevedores
carrying a huge slab of marble.
“Then I discovered the key to the
mystery,” Miss Easton said. “Joe
was now a determined sculptor,”
Miss Easton and her husband
and three other male singers are
a quintette known as “Four Jocks
and a Jill.” Touring night clubs
arid hotels across country, one of
their most pressing problems is
to get hotel reservations and to
find places for rehearsals. On their
current tour, they have the Bdd-
etl problem — especially to Miss
Easton—in that the four boys
cart along several pieces of sculp-
ture on which they arc working-at
odd moments.
“It is not unusual,” she said,
"for crowds to gather around in
spot* »c have, previously played
and their curiosity is not primarily
about tyhat new songs we have
added to our act. They w*ht to
see how far the hoys have pro-
gressed on a certain piece of
sculpture since the last time we
had played in their city.”
Joe Derise is one of the best
known musicians, arrangers and
songwriter* around fin Pan Alley.
He arranges for the “Four Jacks
and a Jill” one of the most re-
freshing nets now playing night-
clubs.
Since they have become fairly
txpert with their sculpture in
about two yearns Devise ia contem-
plating traveling from one sing-
ing engagement to another in
buses. The “Four Jacks and a Jill”
and their act could occupy one
bus, he reasons and their portable
sculpture studio could occupy the
second bus.
Aa for Miss Easton she isn’t
interested at all in sculpture. "If
we ever stay in one place long
enough,” .she said wistfully, "I’ve
always wanted to build a model
railroad.”

Here's How Nixon Wos Picked
As President's Running Mate
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—<NtA)—The rtory of how Sen. Richard M. Nixon
” of California wat picked to be Republican vice-preiidential
candidate can now be told in full and for the first time.
Vice President Nixon himself aaid he didn't know how he came
to be chosen as President Eisenhower’* running mate, when asked
about it on a "Meet the Press” television interview last fall. Nixon
said he hadn’t ***«» any trouble to find out. It was an honest
answer. But for his Information now, this is how it happened.
After General Eisenhower’s nomination at Chicago, early in the
afternoon of July 11, a meeting of representatives of all the Repub-
lican presidential candidates was called on the 11th floor of the
Conrad Hilton hotel. The purpose was to pick a vice-presidential
candidate.
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, national chairman of
thi Ei*enhower-for-President drive, called the meeting. He asked
Wesley Roberts of Kansas, who had been working with Herbert
Brownell on the Eisenhower delegate round-up, to get the group
together. There were Taft, Warren and Stassen men there, and all
the Republican governors who could be reached. But mostly they
were the Eisenhower convention floor leaders.
]VO minutes of the meeting were kept and no attendance records.
There were 20 to 30 in all. Among them: Governors Thornton
of Colorado, Fine of Pennsylvania, Adams of New Hampshire, Dewey
of New York, Lodge of Connecticut, McKay of Oregon, Beardsley
of Iowa.
Senators Lodge of Massachusetts, Carlson of Kansas, Duff of Penn-
sylvania, Smith of New Jersey. Herbert Brownell of New York.
Arthur Su mmeffield of Michigan, Sinclair Weeks of Massachusetts,
Russell Sprague of New York, Jack Porter of Texas, Gene Pulliam
of Indippa, Paul Hoffman of California. Rep. Christian A. Herter,
now-governor of Massachusetts, and a few other congressmen.
Memories of the meeting have grown dim with the passing of
time, and there is some reluctance to talk about it. But from
various sources the atory has been pieced together.
Senator Lodge presided. The rule was that anyone who suggested
a vice-presidential candidate would then leave the room. This was.
to permit those remaining to hold frank and free discussion.
Senator Carlson, at the request of Sen. Robert A. Taft, suggested
the name of Sen. Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois. Then Carlson left
the room,
CEVERAL other candidates were suggested, but nobody seems to
u remember who they were now. As mentioned above, no record
was kppt. But having exhausted all other possibilities, the meeting
then turned to the man whose name had been kicked around in con-
vention gossip as the likeliest candidate—Sen. Dick Nixon of
California.
None of those present, as contacted by this reporter, can recall or
will admit who first suggested Nixon's name. Gov. Lodge, Gov.
Herter and several others who had served in the House of Repre-
sentatives with Nixon, did speak on his behalf. -
The consensus was that he had everything. He was a new face.
He was young and he would appeal to the youth vote. He was a
World War II vet. He was from the west. He was an experienced
campaigner He had broken the Alger Hiss case. He would give
the party more freedom in handling McCarthy.
The meeting lasted about an hour. Senator Lodge and Herbert
Brownell then walked across the street to General Eisenhower’s
suite in the Blackstone hotel and informed him the meeting had
decided unanimously that Sen. Dick Nixon should be his, running
mate. Ike approved, and that was that.

New York, Feh. 4—Scientists
of the United Nations World
Health Organization report find-
ing a vaccine which can eliminate
influenza. According to officials at
United - Nations headquarters, the
scientists hope that by 1984, the
scourge of influenza may he as
rare as bubonic plague. The new
serum is not available in quantity
at present.
It was developed by scientists
working in 65 laboratories scat-
tered through 44 countries, under
the supervision of the World
Health organization. The organi-
zation has ita headquarters in Ge-
neva, Switzerland*.
According to the United Na-
tions, it is the first time an anti-
flu .vaccine has been developed
which can prevent the disease in
advance. The discovery is regard-
ed as one of the most constructive
^accomplishments of the United
Nations organization, and a mile-
stone in medicine.
