MAKE HIM WANT TO DO 1T

Want hint how to collect dues for your club?
To collect money for organization that has social
foundation usually requires tact than like campaign
for philanthropic organization
So when the following letter rs members of
the association of the secretaries of the chambers
of commerce in Texas, the result poor. One
fortunate letter.
Eve are trying to induce new Chamber of Commerce
managers to join our association but we are handicapped
by the fact that number of older managers
responded with their dues yet.
''You intend paying dues Why not do it and
give the membership committee little assistance? Send
your check at once to o-- Texas"
Sidney Krng Harrington Texas, president of the Texas
Chamber of Commerce Managers reconstructed the letter
and suggested that the following would be much better
1.-The president of our organization has placed honor
and responsibility by asking to this
chairman OF the membership committee for the Texas
Chamber of Commerce.

and suggestions What would you do to build membership
and maintain interest of professional coworkers in

'You recognized leader your profession and
surely your suggestions will aid to bring

The response to such letter. says Mr.. Kring, would
probably bring reply that would read something like this
'You have fattered me in your letter asking for my
help with the membership activity of the Texas Chamber
y interested in what TCCM and its associations have
meant to and am anxious to bring such inspirations
my fellow secretaries in the profession therefore shall
be glad to do what to help you.
First, find attached hereto my check for my annual
Dues just neglected sending them sooner
Next, would suggest that as many OF our present
members make personal visit to the norl-nenbers in
their immediate area second BEST letter telling them
what TCCM has done for and what should mean to
them ought to help: 49, 49,
my section of Texas I shall make special effort to
contact them
That letter better than the originally sent
because refrans from cricsng the person receiving it,

VICTORY BICYCLES

Leon Henderson, U. S. director of what goods
and can't have during l942 took time off from his busy job
the other day to go for bicycle ride After pedaling
while he proclaimed the type Victory Model he
riding be suitable bicycle whereupon IL bicycle
facturers agreed make that model exclusively dur
ing the coming year.
It is expected in 1942 there will be wide demand
for bicycles among adults who need transportation get
defense jobs and whose automobile tires ready for
retirement.
Consequently, the bicycle manufacturers have been
busy working up plans for model which would use
little of materials possible The Victory Model
is the bicycle which is 81 pounds lighter in
weight than the average, which consumes copper,
nickel plated work. which has smaller than average
tires made of 900 reclaimed rubber and which requires
many pounds less steel than usual.
Although the manufacturers will be permitted to make
1000 Victory bicycles they will be strictly for adults
1t is believed that bicycles in the hands of children
used largely for recreaona purposes be kept in good
running order through repairs-and if they can't the chill
dren will have sit the sdeines while daddy rides to
work.
There are approximately 10 100000 bicycles in
operation in the United States but 85 of them
used by children The bicycle will be built for adults
only and may be allotted just to those of who prove
a genuine need for them.
The of u.s. who will be unable buy tires for
and who will not be able to buy bicycles will have to
go back to horses, if worst to worst-we may
even have to walk

Seven missions were established in Ari-

on the North American continent
The development of the Spanish mission
chain was not a spontaneous affair, rather
was it a we'll developed plan with political
and economic phases as we'll as spiritual.
The church was given opportunity for ad-
vancement but the Mission also served as
a mighty instrument for the spreading of
Spanish civilization and authority, and the
good padres began the clearing of agricul-
tural lands, brought in cattle and horses
for the Indians, and prepared the way for
those of us who came after. 1t is we'll to re-
member that behind the Padre there was
the support of Spain's military might, and
that after the priest and the soldier came

with its high altar and side chapels is rich
ly embelliShed with carvings and painted
ornament. Little timber is used in the con-
struction, but the wood carvings and paint
ngs covering almost every inch of the walls
and ceiling are particularly interesting
Kino founded San Xavier in 100 and
at least three times it was damaged and
desecrated by hostile Indians. In 1768 the
Franciscan fathers took over the Missions
in Sonora and Arizona, reopening the
church at San Xavier but it was again de-
storyed by the Apaches. The Franciscans
employed the Gaona brothers as architects,
and in 1773 began building the present
structure on the site of the original Jesuit
church. San Xavier is noted as differing
from other Franciscan restorations because
its general plan is cruciform rather than
rectangular The church was finished and
consecrated in 1877 and the furnishings
and ornaments originally brought to San
Xavier by Father Kino were returned from
Magdalena and installed in the new build
ing.
Today San Xavier del Bac is noted as
the finest Spanish Mission in North Ameri-
ca, the worshiping place of thousands OF
faithful Indians who have been coming to
this holy place during more than two
centuries. The majestic beauty of the
churh, the devotion of it's commune ants,
the unSelfish labor of those who follow in
his footsteps, the perpetuation of his ideals
surely all of this is fitting monument to
the conservation, the sacrifice, the vision of
Eusebio Francisco Kino, missionary at
heart.

Scully Tells 700
St. Michael's Parish Hall Civilian Defense Meeting
Success; Cecilia Brenneis Gets Vote OF Thanks

Correspondent-Mrs. r. W Henion, Telephone 3-5l61

Waterville, Feb. 19-St. Michael's
parish hail was filled to capacity
last night for a civilian defense
meeting, at which Mayor Vincent
A. Scully and James j. Curtin, chief
air warden, were speakers.
More than 700 crowded the hall
many having to stand, because all
seats were taken long before the
meeting began. Rev. Robert H.
Falls introduced the mayor, who re-
marked no civilian defense meeting
yet held, has been more largely at
tended.
Mr.. Scully emphasized it was the
duty of everyone to take care Of his
or her home, family and property.
He went on to say, I'VE are in
jeopardy, it is natural to initiate
the ostrich and stick your heads in
the sand so that we do not have to
witness the things we do not want
to see, but the realities are right in
front of us. Our boys are going
away, dedicating their lives to the
task of maintaining and preserving
the freedom we have kept through
out our life time. There Is no rhyme
nor reason in war, but we have it
and have to make the best of it
and see to it that we exert every
ounce of energy to the end that the
war be over as quickly as possible.
In civilian defense it is necessary
that each and every one of us rea-
lie that we can all do something.
This war Is fire war. Incendiary
bombs can be handled only by peo-
pie who know how. Air raid war;
den schools have been run, where
instruction has been given"
The mayor ended his remarks by
saying all can be part of the air
raid warden personnel in his Sec
tor, and each one should be inter-
ested in becoming trained.
Father Falls then introduced Mr..
Curtin, who announced that George
Grady, scheduled to be a speaker at
the meeting, was unable to attend
because of illness, but added Mr..
Curtin, eff Mr.. Grady could see this
gathering, he would quickly re-
cover.
Mr.. Curtin described the various
services in civilian defense, other
than that of the air warden. They
include, medical, rescue, auxiliary
fire, auxiliary police, demolition and
decentralization squads. The war;
den is the eyes and ears of the vari-
Gus sectors. He reports the neces-

An airplane could easily come

they can be put out in about two

There are four zones in Water

Each zone is divided in sectors,

Americas Card Authority

In my article yesterday about Gin
Rumlny, explained that airy player
may 60 down, that is, expose his
hand and end the play, if his odd
cards total 10 or less.
In totalilg the odd cards. face
cards are counted at 10 each, the
ace counts as /, all other cards
count their pip value.
When a player goes down with
an incomplete hand, his opponent
plays any odd cards he can on the
exposed sets, then totals the re-
naming odd cards. If the player
who went down still has the lower
total, he wins the difference Of the
totals.
But if the opponent of the down
player shows an equal or lower total
of odd cards, he wins the difference
of the totals plus a bonus of 10
points.
If player lays down a complete
hand, with no odd cards, this Is gin
and the opponent may not play any
of his odd cards on the sets. The
winner is credited with the full total
'of the adverse odd cards, plus
bonus of 20 points.
1t is usual to play for game OF
100 points. A running total is kept
of the scores of each player. The
game ends after the hand in which
one player Cor both playerS) reaches
la total of 100 or more points. Then
the difference of the totals is
credited to the winner plus bonus
|of 100 points for game. The
rules also provide that In set
ting up game each player is
credited with Is points for each
down he has scored. That does not
mean that the bonus goes to the
player who first laid his hand down
but to the player who scored the
points after down. AS we have
seen, the opponent of the player
who goes down sometimes beats him
There is some difference of prac-
tice as to this bonus for downs. In
sine circles it is omitted, and in
others different amounts are given
In my opir ion a bonus of at least
10 points is necessary, In order to
make it worthwhile to 60 down. The
very object of this form of Rummy
is to make the downs more frequent
and the whole game faster than
straight Rummy.
If there is no bonus for going
down, many players will try to gin
every hard and of course without q
bonus 'sand-bagging" must be re-
sorted to as it is often the only
safe course. "Sand-bagging" is fail
ure to 60 down when alternating
for the opponent to go down mad
then trap him with a lower hand.
When the stock is pretty we'll ex-
hausted, you must try either to go
gin" or if you do go down it must
be with very low count-otherwise
your opponent might trap you and
not only gain the down but the
bonus Of 10 points.
