Mrs. Effie Neathery
Entertains Eternas
Club on Thursday
Members of the Eternas Club
were guests Thursday evening of
Mrs, Effie Neathery at an, infor-
mal tea honoring' the retiring pres-
ident, Ernestine Teaff; the incom-
ing president, Syble Miller; and
Latha Hillyard, the retiring sec-
retary-treasurer.
Each girl brought her "Grass-
burr" to be signed by all the mem-
bers, After signatures were ex-
changed, Miss Clara Savage pour-
ed tea.
There will be many club and
campus activities that we won't be
able to cover since this is our fare-
well J-Tac, but we know that you
will hear about them via ye old
grapevine anyway; so we aren't
too worried.
The Tejas Club is having its
picnic-supper on Friday, the J-Tac
will be having a picnic on Monday,
May 11, and many of the other
clubs and organizations will be
entertaining.
Our Parents' Day program was
very impressive. The Governor's
speech was stirring; his three driv-
ing forces, romance, religion, and
politics, made interesting topics of
discussion.
We are proud of the O.W.L.S.
and of Bette Logan as she made
the presentation of the Victory
Emblem; here's hoping that the
number of gold stars, each of
which stands for a former Tarle-
Cadet who has lost his life in ser-
vice, to be added to the white back-
ground, will be as few as possible.
Well, I guess this must be the
last of Notes and Nonsense for
awhile anyway, I just want you to
know that I've enjoyed being your
society editor. It's been fun as
well as being- a grand opportunity
to learn something- about what the
"press" really is.'

A PRAYER
Our Father, we thank Thee
for the warm and strengthen-
ing sunshine; for the music and
color of the springtime.
We thank Thee that we love
and are loved.
We thank Thee for work—
others' work for us and the op-
portunities given to us to work.
We are grateful that in love
and with thanksgiving we may
turn to Thee and that in Thy
presence we may become calm,
find strength, and feel Thy in-
finite greatness.
Amen.

yet exceedingly fine; it has a beau-
tiful luster and is more elastic
than rayon. It was first used in
hosiery, but it is used in woven
goods as well. Nylon hosiery worn
continuously and laundered each
night has been found to last from
six to eight weeks before showing
any signs of wear. One objection
to nylon hosiery has been that it
is cold for winter wear.
• Nylon is being withdrawn from
full-fashioned hosiery at the height
of its success. The yarn now is used
in a wide range of numbers, ex-
tending from all-Nylons, which
have come to be a limited group, to
Nylons with cotton or rayon tops
and/or cotton or rayon feet, which
are a major market item. Hosiery
manufacturers report that Nylon
now is established and standard-
ized in full-fashioned, and that
basic changes in its manufactu
beyond the normal ever-continui
improvement, are looked for, eith
now or when Nylon returns to t
hosiery field after the war. j

Nylon, which was discovered af-
ter, a . 12-year chemical research
program, is the brand name coined
by the E, I. DuPont Company for
a synthetic silk. The first Nylon
plant was built at Seaford, Dela-
ware, and was placed in operation
late in 1939; its capacity in Decem-
ber, 1941, was 8,000,000 pounds
yearly, A second Nylon plant was
erected by Du Pont at Martins-
ville, Virginia, in 1941,
The physical and chemical prop-
erties of Nylon differ radicaly
from those of other man-made
fibers. It has a protein-like chemi-
cal structure, and it is derived
from coal, air; and water. The ny-
lon fiber is very tough and strong
