TKe Battalion - !} - College Station (Brazos County/, Texas PAGE 6 Tuesday, December 11, 1956 Christmas Caroling Feature Of Pan-American Fiesta Christmas caroling - was a high light of the evening Thursday at the Fiesta sponsored by the Bryan- College Station Pan-American Round Table and the Pan-Ameri can Clubs of A&M and Stephen F. Austin High School. The recreation hall of St. Tho mas Episcopal Chapel was gaily adorned with seasonal decorations for the occasion. Welcoming guests were Miss Sadie Hatfield, president of the Round Table, and Jesus Vegas, president of the A&M Pan-Ameri can Club. The very enjoyable program included a vocal solo, “O Holy Night,” by Miss Harriet Brigham, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. Charles Moore, and a dance to the tune of “Watching the Girls Go By,” by Miss Carolyn McDon ald. Charles Moore led the group in singing carols and rounds both in English and in Spanish, after, which dancing was enjoyed. Hot spiced tea and cookies were served by Mrs. John Ash ton from a table pretty with Christmas candles and holly. Members of the refreshments committee were Dr. Meta Brown, chairman, Mrs. John C. Calhoun, Mrs. A. D. Adamson, Mrs. W. P. Worley, Mrs. Dona Carnes and Miss Sara Wiseman. Decorations were in charge of Mrs. Mary Ellen Vincent and the Misses Dee Morgan and Beatrice Luther, while party plans and games were arranged by Miss Lu cille Moore, Miss Harriet Brigham and Tony Benke. The Round Table will next meet on Feb. 7, when Latin-Am- erican consuls will be honored. Like to improvise in the kitchen ?

Handy Girls Can Design Pretty Gifts AP Newsfeatures What to give for Christmas so that you get the mostest for the leastest and still something that will be cherished ? The first rule is to give a thoughtful gift •. . . one you’ve made or one you know the recip ient will enjoy. Just don’t give a gift because you think you should. There are inexpensive gifts you may dress up to look very original. Add a tatted edge to pretty linen handkerchiefs. Embroider or applique her initials or name on them. Perk up an ordinary pair of slippers with some doo dads—fur, sea shells, embroidery, fake gems. Plain shirred garters may be improved with pearls, rhinestones; lace or fur. A red or white Christmas candle may be dressed up by adding rhinestones, pearls, ribbons, to its base. Handy with the needle ? If so make her a flannel nightgown with a matching nightcap and tassel— an eyeglass case of felt appliqued with initials or funny motif. Make it of felt or petit pointe it if you have the time. Fold crushed pineapple (drain ed) into soft vanilla ice cream; place in freezing compartment of refrigerator until ice cream is firm and serve for a company dessert. An ecumenical study confer ence on the “World Mission of the Church” will be conducted Friday through Sunday at the YMCA. Featured as chief leader of the conference will be the Rev.

Dr. Romig is widely known for his work in the field of missions. Born in Tsining, China, the son of Presbyterian missionaries, he spent the early years of his life in that country.

After serving two Iowa chur ches as pastor, he sailed in 1938 for China, where both he and his wife assumed missionary positions under the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions. In 1946-47, Dr. Romig was vis iting professor of missions at Mc Cormick Seminary, after which he returned to China for further evangelistic and church work. With the advance of Commu nist forces, he and his family left China in 1949. He spent the next two years on a special assignment Dr. Theodore Romig for the International Missionary Council, and in 1951 became pro fessor of missions at McCormick Seminary.
