RECK GIVEN HONORS Woman Is Appointed as Member of Texas Game Commission AMARILLO, Tex. Dec. 11.—The first woman game commissioner in Texas, Mrs. Hal C. Peck, is proud of her job and feels “at home” with her duties. “It is evident that my appoint- ment shocked the natives a bit,” Mrs. Peck said, “but after think- ing it over they have pledged their support and are doing every- thing they can to help me. There is no reason why a woman should not do the job as well as a man."l Mrs. Peck, a native of the Pan- ‘handle, was oppointed to the com- mission by Texas’ woman gover- nor, Mrs. Mariam A. Ferguson. Her territory includes all of West Texas, extending from the Pan- handle to El Paso, an area larg- er than that looked after by any other three members of the com- ‘mission. “Why shouldn’t T be game com- missioner?” Mrs. Peck asked. “I'm acquainted with every rancher, and I know the location of every lake, stream and watering hole in the Panhandle. No one is more interested in the preseravtion of wild life. and all my efforts will go toward restoring it to this area, once a hunting ground for the plains Indians. ‘Mrs. Peck was both a “son and a daughter” to her father, the late O. P. Jones. pioneer rancher and banker. She attended Kidd Key college, Sherman, Tex., and South- western University, Georgetown, Tex., and was voted the most or- iginal girl and the "best sport”| while doing post-graduate work at | Colonial school, Washington, D. C. At home, during the summer, | she rode in the rounding up and driving of cattle, hunted and fish- ed with her father, She was elected president of one of the cify's leading clubs the same day she received the appoint- ment to the game commission. l rhythmical- it was announced {3} ¥ Daily Cross-word Puzale AGROSS .
