Founded On Friendship
Knowledge, understanding and
friendship are the cornerstones on
which Pan American Round Tables
rest, declared Mrs. Albert R. Da
vis, state director of the organi
zations, at the monthly meeting of
the Bryan-College Station Round
Table.
Introduced by Miss Sara Wise
man, Mrs. Davis told the members
and numerous Latin-American
guests present of the many Latin-
American cities she visited last
year.
She vividly described the mod
ern architecture of Caracas, Vene
zuela; the magnificent view of Su
gar Loaf Mountain in Rio de Jan
eiro, Brazil; the sparkling clean
liness of Buenos Aires, Argentina;
the miracle of a luxuriant vege
tation wrested from the desert by
irrigation in Lima, Peru; the con
trasting beauty of old and new
in San Salvador; and everywhere
she went, the friendliness and hos
pitality of the people.
Miss Sadie Hatfield, director
of the local Table, presided at the
business meeting and greeted the
members and their guests.
Dr. Silvio Navarro, program
chairman, presented the new year
books, prepared by Mrs. Frank
Gould, vice director.
A highlight of the program
was a group of South American
songs sung by Jose Luis Buentello
from Mexico and Olie Barreler
from Panama, who accompanied
themselves on the guitar and ma-
racas.
At the social hour following
the program, coffee was served
by Mi's. Navarro from a table gay
with green pine boughs and red
youpon berries. Serving cookies
were other members of the com
mittee—the Mesdames Frank
Gould, John Ashton, Jose Pinero
and J. S. Doane and the Misses
Minnie Bell and Harriet Brigham.
The annual Christmas fiesta
was announced for Dec. 6 at the
St. Thomas Episcopal Parish
House in College Station.
Christmas Joy Worth Work
It Requires, Doctor Says
Put cheddar cheese, sweet pickles
and pimentoes through the meat
chopper; mix with mayonnaise and
use for a delicious broiled open
sandwich.

AP Newsfeatures
Christmas is a lot of work, especially for the
mother of a family, but it’s an effort that pays
high rewards in joy of living.
Not long ago I was picking up a quick lunch
at a drugstore counter and an acquaintance of
mine came along and had a cup of coffee with me.
I made a few remarks about how difficult it was
to practice medicine 12 hours a day and find time
to decorate the house for Christmas, help the
children with their gifts, to say nothing of getting
and preparing my own gifts.
My acquaintance, who has two school-age
children, said in a very smug tone of voice:
“In our house we have solved the problem of
Christmas.”
“Do tell me,” I asked.
“We just do nothing,” she said.
“Not even for the children?”
“Our children already have everything we can
afford to get them. They don’t need presents and
we can’t afford to buy them any.”
There was little more to say but my heart went
out to those two little girls who are growing up
without the joy and excitement of Christmas,
without the knowledge of what Christmas is all
about.
Perhaps if they lived on a desert island where
no one celebrated Christmas they might not know
what they are missing; but living here, where all
their friends were preparing for Christmas and
living in happy anticipation of the big event, I
knew they were cheated and I felt they probably
were aware of it.
Christmas is not just a time of going out and
spending a lot of money you can ill afford for
presents. It is a time of letting your family and
your friends know that you love them. It’s a time
when we pull aside the formal cloaks we hide in
most of the year. Because it’s Christmas we feel
free to express feelings that might embarrass us
at other times to show.
The mechanics of Christmas are work and no
getting around it, but the spirit behind it is one of
the loveliest things in our civilization and many of
us need this mass demonstration to help us throw
off our inhibitions.
Help your children to appreciate the joy of
giving as well as receiving. The preparation be
fore Christmas can mean as much to the children
as the big day itself.
Take time and plan with each child what his
gifts are to be. Even quite young children under
stand that at Christmas time you do things for other
people. A 3-year-old will be anxious to make a
surprise for Daddy and on Christmas morning Alex
is just as excited at watching Daddy unwrap the
finger-painting he made for him as he is to find
the big dump truck Daddy got for him.
As the children get older they make more elab
orate gifts and may want to give more people pres
ents. Help them with their execution, but don’t
take over the job and do it yourself and by all
means don’t go out and buy something for “Harry
to give Dad.” I have a piece of wood—plain—
undecorated but sanded soft as satin. George, age
7 then, gave it to me at Christmas.
“It’s to cut the lemons on, Aunt Dot, when you
make us lemonade,” he said. There have been a
good many hundred lemons cut on that board.
Last Christmas our youngsters—older now with
allowances and with money they eai’n, all got to
gether and bought Dad a much-needed suitcase.
It was expensive and there wasn’t much left over
for other presents. So there was a can of leather
polish for me.
“We are giving you pride in your husband,” the
kids said. Laughter, joy, warmth, went with that
long-thought-out and planned gift.

Hold On! What
Was That Again?
In spite of what The Battalion
says, you don’t bake chess pie
30 hours.
Thursday’s “Family Favorites,”
contributed by Jeannie Crist, con
tained this overwhelming state
ment, for which The Batt hangs
its head.
The chess pie recipe, as sub
mitted by Mrs. Crist, should have
read:
Ingredients: 1 cup sugar, 3
well-beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon vin
egar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup
melted oleo.
Method: Add sugar slowly to
beaten eggs. Add remaining in
gredients, pour into unbaked pas
try shell. Place in 450-degree
oven for 10 minutes, then reduce
heat to 325 degrees and continue
baking for an additional 30 min
utes.
Whew! Hope it’s right this
time. One more “whopper” like
that and we could get a complex.
Good posture is a cook’s best
friend; it helps to prevent fatigue!
So don’t stoop, slump or bend ov
er those kitchen tasks.

In this modern push-button age,
even our reading is becoming
streamlined, Mrs. J. C. Culpepper
told the Campus Study Club at
its regular meeting last Tuesday
afternoon.
Speaking on the “Short Short
Story,” Mrs. Culpepper traced the
evolution of fiction from the novel
to the novelette, from the novel
ette to the short story, and from
the short story to the short short
story, the contemporary of fiction
types.
Mrs. Culpepper pointed out
that like other stories, the short
short story has a beginning, middle
and end, but it moves much more
rapidly than lengthier fiction.
She concluded her program by
reading two short short stories—
That Certain Flavor” by Lee
Garrow and “McGarry Joins the
Easter Parade” by Matt Taylor.
She was introduced by Mrs. B. F.
K. Mullins.
Preceding the program, the
president, Mrs. Bardin H. Nelson,
conducted the business meeting, in-
iated by the reading of the Collect
by Mrs. Leo Ogg.
Reports were given by the fol
lowing committee chairmen: Mrs.
W. S. Allen, federation committee;
Mrs. W. E. Street, hospital, wel
fare and mental health; Mrs. John
Ashton, international relations,
and Mi’s. C. W. Crawford, program.
The club voted to send a rep
resentative to the Brazos County
Council of Social Agencies, and the
members were also urged to sup
port the sale of Christmas Seals
by the Tuberculosis Assn.
Following the program, ‘coffee
and cookies were served by the
hostesses, Mrs. Price Hobgood, and
Mrs. Leo Ogg. The refreshment
table was draped with a brown
cloth and centered with a dried
arrangement in a brass container.
The speaker’s table was high
lighted by an arrangement of
Joseph’s Coat and yaupon in a
copper pitcher.
Dead Sea Scrolls
To Be Discussed
When you are flouring chops be
fore browning them, pour the sea
soned flour into a sturdy brown
paper bag that’s a good size. Now
put the chops in the bag and twist
its top to close tightly. Shake the
chops and flour together well in the
bag. Easy and quick!
Rabbi Bernard Lavine
Rabbi Bernard Lavine, assoc
iate rabbi of Temple Beth Israel,
the oldest Jewish Reformed Tem
ple in Texas, will speak on the
Dead Sea Scrolls before the meet
ing of the B’nai B’rith Hillel Foun
dation Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 7:15
p.m.
His talk will include discussion
of the contents of the scrolls, their
authorship, dates of composition,
and significance of their contents.
All those interested in the sub
ject are cordially invited to attend
the lecture, which will be given
in the upstairs room of the YMCA.
