Library Study Club meets
The Library Study Club met March
9, with Ethel Pledger, president pre-
siding.
The inspiration was given by Boots
Burfoot. This was a special inspira-
tion as it was dedicated to the
memory of the late Mildred Fulton a
long time member. Her text was "Pre-
cious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His saints. • Psalm 116-12"
A quote from Boots was, "A Saint is
any ordinary person who serves our
extra ordinary God, so that means
that you and I and Millie are able, in
all humility to claim sainthood."
Nineteen members were present
to hear the program given by Mildred
StoAe, a master story teller. She con-
tinued the course of study "The Book
Case" which is selected Readings
from Bachelor Girls First Book Case.
Her choice to review was
"Grayfrairs Bobby" a true story writ-
ten in 1912 by Eleanor Atkinson.
Bobby is a little dog who followed
his master everywhere, and when
he died he followed him to his grave
where he slept each night. A little
girl found him and kept him until
he died of old age. Bobby was buried
«t the foot of his master's grave.
Mildred made the story more enjoy-
able by telling it as though Bobby
were speaking.

U.S Senate candidate
visits in Jacksonville
Kay Bailey Hutchison addressed
a crowd of supporters Friday noon
in the Summers Norman Civic Cen-
ter at Jacksonville.
The U.S. Senate candidate cited
her credentials for the post explain-
ing that she grew up in a small town
and understood the needs of the
people. "I will be an independent
voice with the capability to make a
difference and I will carry to the
office my experience as a small busi-
ness owner," she said.
She said that she has 145 coun-
ties organized for her now.
The candidate said she has no
special interest groups supporting
her, just the grassroots folks of
Texas.
In urging her audience to help
with the campaign she stated, "I
want to make government better for
your sons, open doors foryour daugh-
ters. I will represent Texas...I want
to be as good for our children as it
was for me."
Mrs. Hutchison promised to sup-
port President Clinton's budget re-
duction plans. She proposed a 10
percent cut across the board, saving
an estimated $30 billion per year.
She said she would support a rule to
prevent the tacking on of amend-
ments, "special projects," to bills that
are not germane to the issue and
reminded the audience, "We are the
last super power in the world. We
can't cut the military too much. Our
world is not at peace. It is not safe.
Gradual cuts are to be preferred to
the drastic measures proposed by
the president."
Mrs. Hutchison seeks the oflice
now held by Bob Kreuger, an ap-
pointment of Gov. Ann Richards
when Sen. Lloyd Bentsen resigned.
The candidate is serving as state
treasurer, a position to which she
points with pride, as leading in the
reduction of state government'scosts.
She cut her office budget eight per-
cent and requested another five per-
cent cut per year for the next two
years.
The candidate held a press confer-
ence following the luncheon meet-
ing.
