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.
