For College Social Club
The College Women’s Social Club, of College Station,
met Friday afternoon, January 28, at 3 o’clock in the chapel

A.A.U.W. Meets
To Discuss
Gilmer-Aiken Bill
The Gilmer-Aiken Report will
be the subject for discussion
when the Bryan-College Station
branch of the American Asso
ciation of University Women
convenes Monday evening, Feb.
14, at 7:30 p.m. in the small
assembly room of the YMCA
on the Campus.
The Education Committee,
under the chairmanship of Mrs.
Carl Landiss, will direct the
program. Due to the timely na
ture of the program and dis
cussion, the meeting will be
thrown open to all citizens of
Bryan and College Station.
Anyone desiring to attend will
be welcome.
Featured speakers for the
meeting will be people who
have worked with the Gilmer-
Aiken Committee, either as ad
visers to the state Gilmer-Aiken
Committee or as members of
the local Brazos County Com
mittee.
The meeting is expected to
be highly educational as all

man.
Mrs. Roberts expressed appre
ciation to the chairmen of the va
rious committees and the hostesses
who arranged the meeting. She
then presented Mrs. Henderson
Shuffler who reviewed the book,
“Intruder in the Dust” by William
Faulkner, a citizen of Mississippi
and one of the South’s best nov
elists.
Mrs. Shuffler described the
novel as a significant one, an
honest book, and a good one, a
searching story of the dominant
and the dominated. Although the
locale was Mississippi, it might
be a story of any people any
where in their struggle to be
recognized. In terms of modern
art, the book is an impression
istic picture of the most explo
sive social problem in the United
States, that of the black and the
white. It is a serious book with
no trace of Southern romanti
cism or scent of magnolia and a
very timely one. It disapproves
of legislation like the Civil
Rights Bill in the belief and
hope that the South should and
will solve its own problems.
At the close of the program,
Mrs. Roberts invited the members
and guests to tea served at two
tables covered with white linen
cut-work cloths. Silver coffee

Cupid’s Sweet Hearts
For Valentine Gifts
By CECILY BROWNSTONE
Associated Press Food Editot
If your boys and girls have never made edible valentines
they’ll get a big thrill out of concocting heart-shaped candy
or cookies. Then they can package the sweets attractively and
give them away, or they can be used for a Valentine party. If
the youngsters want to give their whole class a treat they
might take a box to school.
The following recipe for candy
is particularly suitable for young
hands because it takes no cooking
and can be made in three flavors.
Here’s how it’s done:
Fondant Valentines
Ingredients: 6 cups sifted con
fectioners’ sugar, 6 tablespoons
melted vitaminized margarine, 6
tablespoons evaporated milk, %
teaspoon salt, % teaspoon lemon
extract, 2 tablespoons lemon rind,
red food coloring, % teaspoon al
mond flavoring, % cup shredded
coconut, 2 squares (2 ounces) un
sweetened chocolate (melted), %
teaspoon peppermint flavoring.
Method: Add sugar gradually to
melted margarine, stin-ing until
all the sugar is moistened. Add
evaporated milk and salt and mix
thoroughly. Divide the foundant
into thirds. For Lemon Patties
