Lions Are Told
Of Organization
By Gov. Garrett
Members of the Breckenridge
Lions Club Friday noon had tor
their program an address by Dis-
trict Governor II. R. il'opi Gar-
rett. Eastland, who told of tlie gron-
th ami work of the clubs of Lion-
, ism.
| Introduced by I). T Bowles. Gov.
' Garrett stated that Lions, organiz-
ed in Texas forty years ago, now
have the membership strength of
any other two civic clubs combined
in a total of 13.U00 clubs. These
clubs are in the 90 countries.
In the district alone, five new
clubs have recently been organiz-
ed and one more is ready to be
formally organized.
But what makes it worth while
is the service being rendered and
the objectives the speaker stated
He quoted Sec. Dulles as stating
in San Francisco that the Lions
are in a better position to keep
the world on an even keel than
any other organization.
In speaking of activities he men-
tioned the enormous shipment of
old eye glasses for children in
Chile, and how they were ground
and delivered.
Closer to home he mention-
ed the introduction of white canes
at Amarillo for the blind, and fol-
lowed this with praise for great
work being done in the camp at
Kerrville.
Only '13 such camps exist, all
sponsored by Lions Clubs. There

De Gaulle To
Confer Monday
On Situation
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
France is moving swiftly towatd
what may be a head-on collision!
between the forces of Rightist Geu-'
eral Charles De Gaulle and the new
government of Premier Pfiimlin.
Open defiance comes from a Gaul-
ist veterans group which called for
a demonstration Saturday night at
the Are De Triomphe in the heart
of Paris. Pfiimlin has some 35,010
police and security troops at the
ready in the capital.
Meanwhile, one of De Gaulle's
right hand men. Jacques Soustelle,
has turned up in Algeria. Soustelle
has been in Paris in recent days
and his arrival in the North Afri-
can territory is almost certain to
increase the pressure on the Pfiim-
lin regime. The rebellious mili-
tary and civilian leadership in Al-
geria is expected to view Soustelle
may give him a commanding ro!e.
Premier Pfiimlin has sent an
emissary to De Gaulle's home vil-
lage in the east of France. The
Representative talked with De
Gaulle's military aide but did not
see the General himself. The pte-
sumption in Paris is that Pilimiin
wants to know just where De Gauile
stands, now that the General has
summoned a news conference for
Monday. De Gaulle is expected to
give newsmen details of last Thuis-
day's offer to take full power.
Pllimlin's measures to tighten
his grip on the situation include
the deployment of special agents
throughout France. They have in-
Mr. Kimler has been pastor of
the Breckenridge church since Au
gust. 1956. Since September of the
same year he has taught the Bi-
ble in the Breckenridge extension
of Ranger Junior College. He was
formerly pastor of Mexican mis-
sions in Ranger and Cisco, Tex.,
and interim pastor of a Mexican
Baptist church in Fort Worth. Tex.
He was born in Tampico. Tam-
aulipas. Mexico, where his father
worked for an American Oil Com-
pany. Later his father transfer-
red to Caripito. Venezuela, with
another oil company. Mrs. Kimler
recalls that the only Sunday school
the family had in Caripito was one
cd ot plotting to put De Gaulle in
the saddle, these in addition to
some 35.000 police and special se-
curity troops are patrolling Paris.
Two Air Force Generals have
reportedly been locked up. And a

Mrs. Smith will be presented as
such by Rotary delegates at their
international convention in Dallas
on June 4.
In making their selection the Ro-
tary Club committee first asked
nominations from the teachers of
the local school system. With this
before them further consideration
was based on the qualities of teach-
ing ability; relations with students
and relations with other teachers;
and community relations.
This last was a great selection
factor. Rainey Ellett, Rotary pres-
ident. stated, for Mrs. Smith in
her years of teaching business edu-
cation has sent so many into state
competition, and produced so many
winners.
This year her students in short-
hand placed first and fifth in state
the student* being Karen Wright
and Mary Lou Tlarks in the order
mentioned.
