NEW YORK—It was a senti
mental gesture.
Slim, dark-haired Norma Pugh
came to bid a last goodby to her
friend, Mary Hawthorne. Mary
was one of four American Airlines
stewardesses involved in a traffic
accident Monday in California.
Their taxicab and another hit head-
on near the San Francisco Airport.
One of the four girls was killed.
Her body was identified as that
of Miss Hawthorne, 26, a tall
blonde from New York, and
shipped back east in a sealed
coffin. Her funeral was scheduled
for Thursday.
Consolidated
Parents Club
Treats Board
The A&M Consolidated Mothers
and Dads Club will have as their
special guests the Consolidated
School Board when it meets Tues
day. The meeting is scheduled for
7:30 p.m. in the High School Audi
torium, A. F? “Tex” Isbell an
nounces.
The purpose of this meeting is
to acquaint the parents with mem
bers of the School Board and ques
tion them on long-range programs
for the schools. “We believe that
many more people would take an
active interest in the schools and
school problems,” Isbell said, “if
they understood the workings of
the School Board better and were
acquainted with its members.”
. The program will consist of an
introduction of the Board and brief
remarks by spokesmen for it. Then
a general questioning and answer
period will be held.
“I knew it would have been my
daughter’s wish to keep the coffin
sealed,” explained Mary’s mother,
Elsie Schnell.
To Pay Respects
Wednesday night, Miss Pugh,
herself an American Airlines stew
ardess, went to a Bronx funeral
home to pay her last respects to
Mary Hawthorne. With her was
another friend of Mary’s, Robert
Evans, an American Airlines flight
engineer.
Miss Pugh brought with her a
little gold ring with a pearl in
it. Some forgotten boy friend in
Miss Hawthorne’s past had given
it to her and she treasured it
highly. She had not been wearing
it in California because the nail
on her ring finger was chipped
and she did not wish to call at
tention to the minor disfigurement.
Miss Pugh explained: “Girls do
silly things. I’m very fond of this
ring on my finger and I would
have appreciated it if some one
had done the same thing for me
under similar circumstances.
“Bob Evans asked the man at
the funeral home to open the
coffin because he wanted to put
the ring on Mary’s finger. It was
a sentimental gesture.
Mistake Found
“The man opened the coffin for
him. No one in the family had
asked to have the coffin opened.
“But when the lid was pushed
back, Evans said, ‘Oh my God!
That’s not Mary!’”
Miss Pugh agreed with him.
Both recognized the girls in the
coffin as Joan Frost, 26, and red-
haired, from Philadelphia, one of
the stewardesses involved in the
accident with Miss Hawthorne.
The four stewardesses in the
California accident all were in
uniform at the time. Miss Haw
thorne had been identified by
papers and personal belongings on
the scene.
The girl believed to be Joan
Frost was badly injured and had
been ip a coma since the accident.
Her face was bruised and swollen
and swathed mummy-like in band
ages.
At Peninsula Hospital in Bur
lingame an official said: “The
identification of Joan Frost was
never questioned until last night
when the coroner’s office called.
Thomas Frost, Joan Frost’s father,
has been here to see the patient,
but of course, with "the bandages,
it’s impossible to see her face.”
Thursday, American Airlines
confirmed the identity of the girl
in the coffin through the finger
print file it keeps on its stew
ardesses. And Shortly thereafter,
Mary Hawthorne came out of her
coma in the California hospital and
was able to identify herself.
Architectural
Research
Findings Aired
Architectural research findings
of the college suggesting design
of houses and placement on lots
to gain best advantage of breeze
and shading in summer and sun in
winter are described in a reprint
of an article titled, “A Case for
South Living” which appeared in a
recent issue of Landscape Archi
tecture.
Copies are available from the
Texas Engineering Experiment
Station.
The article suggest breaking
tradition in land subdivision by
creating the most desirable, com
fortable, livable and attractive
space for the money and leaving
street layout as a conforming later
step in development.

WORSHIP TOGETHER THIS WEEK
Somewhere in your town a man you may have never seen waits
hopefully for you.
He is a minister. A priest. A rabbi. A man used to speaking out.. ?

congregation and his community.
But where you’re concerned, he can only wait and hope you will come.
He holds something in trust for you—the powerful, crucial first
^introduction to Faith. And he is anxious to pass it on.
The strength and confidence of Faith can mean many things]
to many men . . . and to the families who count on them,
So together with your family start to find that Faith

Yes, faces are different the world over. But
hearts have a common hunger. For Hope . . *
Life . . . Truth.
Therefore, expressing the fervor of the citi
zens and churches of this brave, free land, the
American Bible Society has sought for 144 years
to translate and distribute the Scriptures for
every nation and tribe.
Many local congregations, directly or through
their denominations, are supporting this vital
work. In addition, the suggested readings which
appear regularly in these advertisements are pro
vided by the American Bible Society, and reach
you as another contribution of American citizens
and churches to this important cause.
You see, worldwide Bible reading is the
simple, practical expression of one of our fun
damental convictions: The Bible IS the Book for
Everyone.
Tonight—at the dinner table of in a quiet mo
ment—millions of American homes will put that
conviction into earnest, reverent, daily practice!
Will yours?

THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend services
regularly and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his
children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily*
