life which results from mass cut
ting or digging of plants, from
pulling the roots of flowers, and
■from the careless discarding of
lighted cigarettes.

Decorating Authorities
Seek Simplicity, Unity
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newfeatures Writer
More decorating help is avail
able to the homemaker than ever
before in manufacturers’ pamph
lets, stores’ decorating services,
and information available through
newspapers and magazines.
But often the homemaker fails
for lack of time, energy or aware
ness to avail herself of these ser
vices. Sometimes she fails to in
terpret the information so that
it may be applied to her special
problem or purpose.
What are some mistakes in home
planning ?
Few Pieces Required
A frequent one is the idea (par
ticularly of the young homemaker)
that a great deal of furniture is
required to make a cozy home.
This results in confusion. It takes
an expert decorator to deal with
a huge quantity of furnitui’e even
when pieces are important and a
room is large.
Certainly then the average neo
phyte decorator will have diffi
culty combining and integrating
mass into space. A small living
room for instance, may not even
be receptive to a sofa. But does
one need a sofa if it sticks out
like a sore thumb? No. But try
to tell that to a young couple
bound by tradition. Even the ro
mantic love seat fails to intrigue
them into giving up the outsize
sofa in favor of a smaller piece.
Color is another problem. Wife
likes blue. Husband likes green.
To please him she “buys him
something green.” The overstuff
ed chair with matching ottoman is
usually the place singled out for
the man of the family. It may
not match anything else but the
couple sees it only as an individ
ual piece, not part of a unit.
Many young couples “shoot the
works” on the furniture and then
have nothing left for “softeners.”
These, I maintain, are as essential
as the whipped cream on the right
cake. Pillows for the sofa for in
stance, to offer a cozier invita
tion, pictures on the wall to stamp
personality on the room, final fil
lip to a decorating project.
Some young people worry only
that there will be enough seats in
the living room as if everyday was
for entertaining, so they crowd the
room with chairs, whereas all this
could be solved on those special
occasions by utilizing hassocks,
fireplace stools and large pillows,
that will even make the room look

man Gordon Hudson figures he’s
one of the few law enforcement
officers to chase a car on foot and
catch it. Hudson spotted a drunken
driver coming through town and
promptly took after him on foot.
He claims the car was easy to catch
—all he had to do was run about
75 yards in a straight line while
the car casually weaved from one
side of the road to the other.

Honorees Introduced
Following the dinner, Dr. Na
varro introduced the guests of
honor.
Trabanino expressed pleasure
in the visit and thanks for the
occasion, after which Hueso was
introduced as the main speaker of
the evening.
He displayed a map of his
country, Nicaragua, and spoke in
formally of its geography and his
tory. He stressed Nicaragua’s po
tential for the production of rub
ber, cotton, coffee and oil.
Hueso, who studied agricultural
economics at A&M from 1941 to
1945, saluted his old friends, Prof,
and Mrs. J. J. Woolket, and paid
tribute to the late Dr. John Ash
ton, who represented A&M in Nic
aragua in 1940-41.
The reception-dinner was ar
ranged by Dr. and Mrs. Navarro,
program and social chairmen for
the Round Table, and Miss Sadie
Hatfield, director.
Miss Sara Wiseman decorated
the speaker’s table with a large
arrangement of white iris and the
other tables with bowls of pansies
and white and green sprays.
Flags of the Pan American group
were also displayed.
