(UPl)—Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson today accepted an honorary doctor of laws degree at Texas Woman’s University. Wearing a cap and gown, the First Lady provoked a chuckle from the undergraduates when she quipped that it was “very nice” to receive a diploma “without taking the exams.” In a prepared address delivered at the convocation, the President’s wife paid eloquent tribute to the talents of women and their present “unlimited” opportunities and horizons. Without mentioning him by name, she also threw in a plug for her husband for recognizing the “abilities and intelligence” of women by naming them to top government jobs. It was Mrs. Johnson’s first honorary degree. She will receive a doctor of letters, along with the President, from her alma mater, University of Texas, on May 31. She has a B.A. degree and a degree in journalism from the university. “We have long passed the time in the United States when men alone could be summoned to great duties," she said. “In almost every sphere, the influence of women is constantly growing, and with the downfall of ancient prejudices, it will be hard to set a limit to the achievements and opportunities that await our women graduates.” She urged them to be responsible and shrink “from no burden that is essential to the advancement of our national welfare... ” Mrs. Johnson flew to Denton with Texas Gov. and Mrs. John B. Connally today, leaving the President back at the LBJ Ranch with his official duties. Trade in a good town — Decatur.

ATTENDANCE (Continued from Page One) there Is a direct and definite relationship between dgarete smoking and lung cancer, according to all the available research and scientific data. During the last 30 years while deaths from all other causes dropped 18%, deaths from lung cancer rose 953%. This was a rise far in excess of the population rise for the period. According to the society’s leaflet entitled “Shall I Smoke?” there were 2500 deaths from lung cancer in America in 1930; 11,000 in 1945; and 41,000 in 1963. “The American public health association estimates that if present trends continue about one million youngsters now in school will die of lung cancer before 70 years of age. Studies and research definitely show that regardless of whether you live in the country or city the more you smoke the greater the possibility of lung cancer. This seems to disprove theories being advanced that lung cancer may be due to air pollution rather than cigarette smoking. “All persons and groups, but especially parents and school teachers, need to become acquainted with the Cancer society’s films and literature concerning lung cancer due to smoking,” she concluded. No Word Received From Mover Roths No word had been received by noon Monday by relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Maver Roth, well-known Adams county people who are in missionary wofk in Alaska.
