May 8, Your Mother
Deserves a Buffet
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o' mine, 0 mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o' mine, 0 mother o' mine.
When Rudyard Kipling wrote those words
- in a poem appropriately entitled "Mother 0'
Mine" - he may well have been moved by the
spirit of that famous day that is nigh unto us:
Mother's Day. Equally moved,The Houston Club
is responding with a Mother's Day Buffet.
Bring Mom and Memories to the Texas
Room May 8, 11 AM to 2:30, for hors d'oeuvre,
salads and entrees as good - we hope - as
hers. Reservations are urged; call 225-1661.
Do not forget ... May 8. But who could? As
Ann Taylor put it so well more than a century
ago:
Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story, tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My Mother.
-from "My Mother"
The Other Texas .. .
Hill Country Buffet, May 14
If the recent festivities of the Houston Live-
stock Show Rodeo and all the accompanying
paraphernalia - cowboy charisma - made you
think of flatlands, badlands, cactus and dust, it's
time for a change. For another side of Texas,
come to the Hill Country ... Buffet.
The menu May 14 will offer the best of sev-
eral worlds. From the south will come spicy
chilies; from the coast, jumbo shrimp; from the
hills themselves, hominy, chicken and venison.
It's easy to see that it's something you won't
want to miss. So, wend one's way to the Planta-
tion Room from 6 to 9:30 PM in accordance with
the reservations you made at 225-1661.

Ah! Spring in Paris ...
Buffet-Style, May 21
Last month The Club's kitchens took you to
Old New Orleans for a taste of a cuisine that has
a distinctif French background. This month, we
take you to France itself with a Parisian Buffet
May 21.
This buffet will be indeed distinctif. It is de-
signed to transport you into several of the most
magnifique restaurants of Paris - a night your
mouth will never forget. Le Caneton Roti Marco
Polo . . . Les Casserolettes de Filets de Sole
Laserre ... the imagination reels!
Turn to Nancy Joy's column for further de-
lights (and translations) and then make reserva-
tions at 225-1661 for this 6 to 9:30 PM feast in
the Plantation Room.
Houston Club Salutes
Graduates With Brunch May 29
That, big day is here at last. The trials and
tribulations of the scholar (and, of course, of the
scholar's parents) have been worth it all. And to
celebrate the occasion, come to The Club's
Graduation Brunch May 29.
The day will have more rewards than the di-
ploma and graduation gifts: How do barbecued
spareribs, fried chicken and broiled red snapper
with pecans sound?
Or a selection of pancakes? Or omelets any
style? It's enough to send a body back to school!
Whether the graduate is now concerned
with college or career, bring the whole family to
this special brunch in the Plantation Room be-
tween 10:30 AM and 2.
Reservations are requested; call 225-1661.

NEIMAN-MARCUS LADIES' LUNCHEON
Gathered for the Ladies' Luncheon, these ladies were gracious
enough to pause and pose for the photographer. They are, from
left, hostess Mrs. Arthur Schwartzman, Mrs. Ruth Garment and
Mrs. Mildred Gubin, both of New York, and Mrs. James Lawrie.
These style show patrons gathered to take a look at the new fash-
ions, to converse with friends and to have an excellent lunch. They
did all three, according to, from left, hostess Mrs. L. B. Lefevre, Mrs.
David Henington and Mrs. Robert Young.
If smiles are a way to judge the success of
anything, this Ladies' Luncheon has been
received agreeably by these ladies: from
left, Mrs. Robert L. Topper, Mrs. Ginger
McAlpin and Mrs. Richard Anderson.
Monica McCrory, left, of Dallas and Vicki
Filer were fit subjects for the roving pho-
tographer at The Club's style show by
Neiman-Marcus.
Smiling as they should at a spring-summer fashion luncheon, these
three viewers at the Neiman-Marcus Ladies' Luncheon beam their
approval of the afternoon. They are, from left, hostess Mrs. Doyle N.
Rogers, Mrs. Randall Mobley and Mrs. Russell Smith.
These visitors from out-of-town were lucky to be in Houston in time
to join their hostess at the Neiman-Marcus style show. Mrs. Mark
Grossman, left, is from Coral Gables, Fla., and Mrs. Norman Myers,
center, was the Florida Orange Bowl Queen in 1966. Their hostess
is Mrs. Donald L. Marsh.
Remember the old Cadillac-LaSalle Company of
Houston, Texas? That was our "earliest ancestor."
The year was 1939 and the location of Cadillac-LaSalle Company of
Houston, Texas was the corner of Travis and Pease when the late D. B.
McDaniel became sole owner. He had been part owner of the dealership
since 1932.
Long time Houstonians have experienced that feeling of special pride in
ownership associated with buying America's finest automobile from the
area's leading dealer for almost half a century ... when patronizing the
Sales and Service Departments of Cadillac-LaSalle Company of Hous-
ton, then D.B. McDaniel Cadillac, Bland-Willis Cadillac and now
Bland-Curran Cadillac. The "extras" of customer satisfaction have been
there throughout ... and over the years our customers have built us to the
position of being the Nation's second largest Cadillac dealership. And, by
the way, the largest Cadillac dealership operating from a single location.
Bland-Curran sells new and pre-owned Cadillacs, services them and
leases. We're in business to serve you.

The road to success
is easier when you know
where yotire going.
In fiscal 1976, HNG stockholders
enjoyed a 29% return on average
equity, and over the last five years our
average annual compound per share
earnings growth has been 33%. Part
of the reason for this success has been
that we've followed the road we
know best - natural resources.
We acquired Liquid Carbonic Cor-
poration because we saw new growth
opportunities for carbon dioxide and
other industrial gases.
We added Zeigler Coal Company
with its more than one billion tons of
coal reserves in the Midwest because
we knew that coal was a fuel of
the future.
And we have aggressively pursued
new resources loser to home. Like oil
and natural gas reserves in West Texas
through our HNG Oil Company. Arid
low-sulphur coal in Colorado.
In a company like ours, acquiring
resources at the right time leads to
success. It's a management decision.
And HNG management has been
right so often that the
growth just keeps
coming.

about HNG.
