Miss M. Gladys PittengerCity of Fort WorthTexasDear Miss Pittenger:I wish I could be present when the Zonta Club honors you. Ifanyone in the city of Fort Worth deserves honor, I can thinkof no one who deserves it more than you. Your concern for theunfortunate people of our city has been a blessing to my lifeand has definitely made me more understanding toward the prob-lems of all human being s.You are the finest social worker I have ever heard of. If Imay use a Scripture to tell you exactly how I feel, I wouldlike to quote Philippians 1:3, "I thank my God upon every re -membrance of you."

Sincerely yours,

W. Fred ^ n kChairman, Welfare Board

Longhorn Chapter

N ATIDNAL ASSOCIATIONOF SOCIAL WORKERSApril 1, 1959

Mrs. Anne Twiss2329 Wyatt CourtFort Worth, TexasDear Mrs. Twiss:

When members of the local chapter of the National Associationof Spcial Workers learned that their colleague, Gladys Pittenger, had beenselected by the Zonta Club for its coveted award this year, they were exult-ingly glad. No other choice could have meant so much to the Longhorn Chaptermembers because no one else in the social work field in Fort Worth has contributed so much, so consistently, toward carrying out the purposes and goalsfor which our organization stands.

Miss Pittenger is a charter member of this organization. WhenFort Worth and Dallas developed a combined membership chapter, Miss Pittengerwas among the first presidents. Through the years which have followed shehas contributed leadership in establishing our own chapter and has served thechapter in every official capacity. She has chaired and served on innumerablecommittees. No assignment has been too large or too small for Kiss Pittengerto carry out with alacrity and dispatch.

Now all of these provable facts are impressive and importantbut they are not the attributes which endear Gladys Pittenger to all who areassociated with her in organizational and personal relationships. There issomething about her which picks one up when he feels let down, which encouragesone when he is discouraged, and which rejoices with one when he feels gladdened.These qualities, along with her inimitable sense of humor, always so properlytimed and appropriately manifested, bring out the best in us, so of course webelieve members of the Zonta Club have displayed erudite perception and discriminating consideration in selecting our beloved friend and colleague for thissignal award.These words of felicitation are not from me alone. Each member ofour chapter is figuratively looking over my shoulder and wanting to join the ZontaClub in giving warm and joyous praise to Gladys Pittenger.

Sincerely,

E d g ar M . Wal l eyP r e s i d e n t

Dearest Gladys:I join your many acquaintances and friends inexpressing my great pride at your selection for the "Womanof the Year", jointly with one other, year 1959* by ZontaAm enclosing the clippings, which I would like to keep sothat I can show them and say I knew you when ''you were in mykindergarten school", but as usual these clippings get packedaway, as I have done to your birth certificate which I ranacross the other day, and was most puzzled for a while why Ishould have your birth certificate, certified properly, andstarted to phone you and tell you you had left it with me bymistake, until I remembered the happy occasion of that Saturdaynight when we had a flood rain after drought of several monthsall because you kids made so much racket the heavens burstopen.Truly we are happy at this recognition which is mostdeserved and long due a fine sincere business and professionalwoman as you. The B&PW Club could do something like this forits worthy women, but they are in fact sincerely engaged tohelp get worthy civil rights for women, a slow process, especiallybecause of the women who have not woke up yet to their needs.Any way, I shall be seeing you April 1st, in theCrystal Ballroom, I think it was quite clever of them to make

it after pay-day, when we have just received our ticket priceand before we have spent it for other things, such as payingbills . I shall wear my new orange blossom hat and new blue-green print dress I wore to my grand-niece's wedding Saturdaynight, every one said I looked beautiful, and then you can beproud of me, as I am of you. I told people that the orangeblossom hat was as close as I am going to get to "orangeblossoms".

Love, and deep affectionfor your friendship.

TRIBUTETOMISS M. GLADYS PITTENGERAPRIL 1, 1959

Tonight we are honoring Gladys Pittenger, social worker,humanitarian, devoted friend. I would like to spend the timeallotted telling you what I think and know about Gladys Pittenger,but so many testimonials have been received from people whoknow her equally well we must recognize as many as possible.We perhaps would not be gathered here tonight if in 1911 shehad been a "little older" for she would have turned out to bethe "States best stenographer." Let me read from the firstletter of recommendation Gladys ever received.

Quote: It gives me great pleasure to say that duringthe period you were my stenographer in Fort Worth prior to thetime I moved to Austin, your services were entirely satisfactory.I found you to be very good in orthography, neat in arrangementand correct in transcribing. In fact, as I have frequently saidto you, for a girl of your age, I consider you far above theaverage stenographer, and if you continue to devote your timeand talents to the work I am sure you will make a great success.If you had been a little older in years I would have insistedon bringing you with me to Austin.

Signed - Your true friendW. P. Lane - ComptrollerState of Texas

We might add that Gladys sought security by buying a lifemembership at Brantley - Draughan Business College so at anytime she wishes she may further her stenographic ambitions.

- 2 -

Gladys is a native Texan by virtue of her family migratingfrom Ohio several years before she made her appearance. As achild she was strong willed and a torn boy. Her favorite sportwas horseback riding and was finally able to prevail on herparents to buy her a white pony. This pony not only provided

recreation, but provided the mode of transportation to school --the latter much to Gladys' disgust since she rebelled at goingto school. One day as she was preparing to go to school thepony dropped dead and Gladys was sure he died because heresented having to take her to school and promptly decidedshe too had enough education.

It is interesting to note that in the beginning herparents fought to see she finished high school - then laterGladys fought for a higher education to the extent she oneday asked her father - "How much will my share of your estatebe? I need it now so I can go to college", and go to collegeshe did. When told by the School of Civics (later to be

Miss Ruth TuckerPresident of Zonta Club and MembersFort Worth, Texas

Dear Hiss Tucker:The evening of April 1st was a wonderful occasionfor us, one of beauty, enjoyment, and -racious hospi-tality. First, we want to express our heartfelt ap-preciation and gratitude to the Public Affairs Commit-tee for having chosen us to receive the Zonta ClubService Award for the Year 1959. Our one hope is thatwe will always prove worthy of this great honor andfulfill to the highest degree the ideals that ZontaClub has concerning executive women in business andprofessions.The success of the lovely dinner was due to thewell coordinated planning and carrying through of alldetails by the various committees and each club mem-ber. The program of music, talks and surprises, inaddition to the beauty of the decorations, the designand wording on the placques, the beautiful leatherbound scrap books with our names inscribed in gold, theenlarged pictures, the orchids which gave us an indi-vidual "lift", all contributed to make it a festiveand outstanding affair.Because of your kind and generous tribute, you

have lifted our spirits high and made us proud. Withgrateful hearts full of love, friendship and deep ap-preciation, we humbly and fervently say, "Thank you,Zonta Club, for presenting us the Service Award for theyear 19f>9." We salute you and wish you well.Sincerely yours,

Fine Publ ic Serv iceIn the four veteran employes retiringfrom the city's service as the year closes,Fort Worth's citizens have had a notablebargain. The city has paid to them, in aggregate, 132 years' salary. It has received,in return, service of such high order thatit can not be termed other than exceptional. The four employes, two of them antedating in service even the beginning of thecity manager form of government, havestuck with the city through thick and thin,bad times and less difficult timeseven

through times when city pay checks wereworth considerably less than the figureprinted on them.But none of them has ever let the sizeof the pay check, or the uncertainty of itsworth, lessen attention or devotion to thejob. Each has continued, through sometimes trying and discouraging circumstances, to do the best job possible.It is common to disparage public servants as time servers and payroll leeches.But no one could say that of RhinehartRouer, city attorney since 1921; W. S.

Mahlie, who has guarded the purity of FortWorth water for the same period; MissGladys Pittenger, city welfare supervisorfor 33 years, or Mrs. Margaret Dorsey,her chief assistant since 1936. All havegiven the city value received, and inheaped-up measure.It is employes of such competence, experience and diligence that are basic tothe efficient functioning of city government. Fort Worth is fortunate to have hadthem; it is unfortunate in that it now mustlose them.
