Many of the most civilized countries of the world have death rates of around 10 per thousand per year, but are expected to have slowly rising death rates in the years to come as death takes an increasing toll in the aging popula tions. home diocese and the world-wide missionary movement. The Rev. Lew Levinson from Jacksonville pointed out two rea sons for the small town church. First, since the population trend is from rural to urban, the small town church can be a source of active laymen for the city churches. Secondly, the church should make its services available to all inter ested persons. The key to church work in a small town is a long tenure for the clergyman, said Rev. Arthur Lockhart of La Grange. Lockhart succeeded the late Rev. Arthur Edmonds, who was a member of the faculty here before entering the ministry. Headlining the program was the Rt. Rev. Wilson Hunter, Bishop of the Missionary District of Wyo ming. The former rector of St. Mark’s church in San Antonio told of a remote old mining town in his district which now has only 30 inhabitants, all members of the same family. This family is served on Sun days by a clergyman as often as the weather will permit, but serv ices are held regularly by the mem hers of the family despite the weather. The supper was sponsored by College Station’s St. Thomas chap el. More than 200 central Texas church members attended. Specialist Lists Rural Problems Grass-killing drouth isn’t the only problem faced by homestead improvement specialists in Texas, according to Miss Sadie Hatfield, specialist with the Agriculture Ex tension service. Loss of manpower and women- pdwer in the rural areas is the big gest problem, said Miss Hatfield. She has written several bulletins for the Extension service and nu merous leaflets on landscaping. Miss Hatfield studied landscapes in Japan and various sections of the United States. Recently returned from north east Texas where she lectured to several garden clubs, Miss Hatfield instructs home demonstration agents in homestead improvement. The manpower shortage is caus ed by men leaving the farms to work in town, said Miss Hatfield. Women are occupying themselves with household and community ac tivities and forgetting their home grounds, she added. Good appearance in the home grounds depends upon good groom ing. Poor upkeep will spoil the appearance of anything, she said. Miss Hatfield lashed out against terraces and all other complicated yard or landscape designs. “We should choose a landscape design as we choose our clothing,” stated Miss Hatfield, “one that pro vides us with comfort, convenience and improved appearance.” The solution to the labor problem as seen by Miss Hatfield is to plan all landscaping and gardening properly and thoughtfully. She estimated the average farm home grounds could be kept in fair con dition with a minimum of four hours labor a week. She gave five steps toward sav ing labor. • Organize your yard for every day use, keeping aregs for work and recreation as small as is con venient and using the rest for pub lic area or leaving it in pasture or field. • Save work on shrubs by judg ing each one before planting. • Choose grass that is adapted to your soil and climate, preferably a native grass. • Cut down on the number of chores you have by use of walks, planting flowers where they can be watered with little effort, and proper planning of gates and shrub barriers. • Using double purpose plants, for example, fruit trees for shade and screening, berry vines, grapes and small fruits for borders.
