Recording Secretary of the Wo-
mems Democratic Club, and to
work with her favorites, the Girl
Scouts.
To be invited to dinner is an
occasion. especially if it's cook S
night out and Harry broils his
famed steaks over charcoal, or
Myrth makes beans and tortillas.
There Is more than a faint Mexi-
can accent to her cooking, which
she does with as much spirit as
she dances La Varsoviana." In

If friends are a reflection of ones

the Wimberleys are indeed full of
wonderful facts.

It's not always a life on the
ocean waves for the men who go
down to the sea in ships, or have
anything to do with their con-
struction. This was proven on
Friday, when Rear Admiral David
H. Clark, chief of the Bureau Of
Ships, and Mrs. Clark headed the
list of the more than 200 members
and their guests who danced In
the Continental Room at the
Wardman Park Hotel.
The semiannual affair has quite
an attraction for all the compo-
nent parts of the bureau and every
one gets together to push the busi-
ness on. This dance was dubbed
Hoo Doc Hop" and as Friday
was the 18th, a very appropriate
title. Dancing began at 10, with
Jack Morton's orchestra. All the
ladies were given gardenias as
favors. and each table was sup
piled with cigarettes.
At Admiral and Mrs. Clark's
table were Rear Admiral and Mrs.
William F. Dowd, Capt. and Mrs.
William Magruder, Capt. and Mrs.
William L. Pryor, and Capt.
Charles j. Gator. Assisting with
the arrangements were Comdr.
Frank Bahyr. Mr.. Theodore Roth

Harry, a beginner in the news
paper business at 26, went to work
for Eugene Pullian, owner Of seven
papers; it wasn't long before he
was general manager of the whole
string, which stretched from In
dianapolis to Phoenix. His asso-
citation with the well-known Pull
liam was the foundation of last
ing friendship, but by Harry's 37th
birthday, he was ready to try his
hand at the newspaper game him
self. How we'll fitted for this
career he was has been shown by
his f1ourishing daily, The Altis
Times Democrat, which he has
built into an outstanding news
paper. Myrth contributes no little
to it's interest with column on
her humorous encounters and ad-
ventures, entitled, MY Daze in
Washington"
Quiet, witty and kindly. Harry
nevertheless will draw sword for
any just cause, and has a bulldog
tenacity once he gets his teeth
into anything. Politically, he
most enjoyed being with Demo-
cratic Chairman Robert Hanne-
gan in 1914 when he was waging
battle to elect Harry Truman as
Vice-President. But of the most
tremendous interest to Harry,
and of the deepest personal salts
faction, has been being President
of the Oklahoma Society for
Crippled Children. He spent ten
years at this reWarding work,
when they were pioneering with
the first effective corrective meth
DDS, which now are used widely in
many states. He is now a director
of that institution, and is also on
the Board Of Regents of the Uni
versity of Oklahoma, of which he
is a graduate.

enlightening talk was given by

kinds of trees to plant and the soil
to plant them in, also kinds of
fertilizer to use. He told of how
to transplant trees and shrubs.
After a very instructive talk he
demonstrated the planting Of q

and furnished each one present
increased knowledge of the proper
soil and proper planting of trees.
Mrs. Bill McKie won a camellia
