daughter, Bettie Sue, and Mari-
ellen Pepper motored to Ama-
rillo Tuesday and witnessed the
mammoth parade in celebration
of Mother-in-Law Day on Wed-
nesday.
Among the notables present
among the iou,000 who witness-
ed the 29-block parade was Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, First Mo-
ther-in-law of the Land, who
spoke in the evening on "A Day
at the White House" to an over-
flowing audience at the city au-
ditorium.
Mrs. Curry stated that if she
and her party had not been
visiting relatives they would
have been unable to secure ac-
comodations for the night. All
churches and hotel lobbies were
filled with cots, and cafes and
hotels were unable to feed the
thousands of representatives
from five states that crowded
into the city on Wednesday.
Mrs. Roosevelt was presented
with five thousand matched red
roses arranged in a huge mound
on a large truck, weighing a
full ton. The First Lady pre-
sented the roses to the Kiwanis
club, and they in turn were
sold for twenty-five cents
apiece, netting 81,250 which
was given to the Children's Tu-
berculosis Preventatorium be-
ing erected in Amarillo. Pro-
ceeds from Mrs. Roosevelt's
lecture at each Texas city have
been returned to civic clubs in
the respective places, Mrs. Cur-
ry stated.
The 500 mothers-in-law were
seated on a huge ship made on
five trucks wired together and
decorated in red. white and blue
Eafch woman held a United
States flag and a large flag wav-
ed in front of the ship, making
a beautiful effect, Mrs. Curry
said.
The pageant represented a
history of the West and vehicles
ranged from oxen carts to air-
planes.
