HERE’S A MAN WHO IS
FAIR TO THE PRESS!
Harry Hines, Texas Highway Com-
missioner, in an address at Lubbock
last week, endorsed the work of edi-
torial people in their attempt to be
“fair.”
He saluted the freedom of the press
“A newspaper cannot be blamed,” he
said, “for not wanting its news col-
umns to be used for promotional ad-
vertising, or their paper as a house
organ for any party, group or or-
ganization, for that is not what the
name ‘newspaper’ implies. 1 like to
think of our newspapers as communi-
ty builders. A newspaper dyspepitc
whose surcasm, a n d pessimism
throws a wet towel on everything and
everybody in a community, always
finding fault but never suggesting a
constructive remedy, is a community
liability. On the other hand, a news-
paper that radiates an up-and-up
spirit, can do much to attract indus-
tries and individuals to their town or
city.”
In closing he read the following
poem, very pertinent to the subject,
entitled “Which?”
“I saw them tearing a building down
A gang of men in a busy town,
With a ho-heave ho and a lusty yell
They swung a beam and side wall fell
I asked the foreman. ‘Are these men
skilled
As the men you’d hire if you had to
build?’
He laughed and said, ‘No indeed,
Just common labor is all I need.
I can easily wreck in a day or two
What builders have taken a year todo’
-SOCIETY NEWS:--
Mrs. Oscar Thompson, Society Reporter—Phone 130
I asked myself as I went my way,
Which of these roles have I tried to
Play,
Am I a builder who works with care
Measuring life by the rule and square
am I a wrecker who walks the
town
Content with the labor of tearing
down?”

lines, installing new insulators, eliminat-
ing hazards to safety and doing every-
thing necessary, day or night, to assure
you the finest possible electric service.

nity, the resources of this entire organiza-
tion are available instantly to repair, re-
store and renew your service immediately.

The Western Union Telegraph
Company a few years ago announced
over the radio that, for one evening
it would send telegrams to Lowell
Thomas free. Instantly the wires all
over America began to hum and
‘Tommy” was deluged with an aval-
anche of more than a quarter of a
million messages in less than 60 min-
utes. •
Lowell Thomas is one of the most
extraordinary men I have ever known
He has written so many books he
can hardly remember the names of
them himself, and he has spoken to
four million people, face to face, in
more than four thousand audiences
in every English-speaking country on
the globe.
Week after week, month after
month, I saw people in London stand
in line for hours—stand in lines that
were literally blocks long—to buy
tickets to hear Lawell Thomas tell
the fascinating story of Allenby’s
campaign in Palestine and Lawrences
exploits in Arabia.
He has been a gold miner, a cow
puncher, a newspaper reporter, an
editor, and a college professor! And
| he has spent years roaming around
| Europe, Asia, Africa, Alaska, Aus-
tralia and the islands of the Seven
! Seas. He toured India with the Prince
| of Wales and was one of the first
! Americans ever to be given permic
J sion to enter the wild country of
; Afghanistan.
He formerly taught Public Speak-
j ing at Princeton University and he is
[ now probably the best known speaker
j living. He not only broadcasts the
! day’s news to millions of listeners
j in America, hut his voice encircles
the globe.
| He has an apartment at the swanky
Waldorf-Astoria in New York City
train for his home leaves the Grand
Central Station five minutes later
Dash as fast as he can through the
city’s truffic, he can’t quite make it.
So the New York Central Railroad
has issued an order that the 7:0*>
train must not pull out until Lowell
Thomas is aboard. A round trip of
150 miles a day is the price he pays
to spend the night and the next fore-
noon at ‘Clover Brook Farm.”
He is paid $500 a night for speak
ing in public, yet he doesn’t talk
much in private. He prefers to listen
to other people talk.
I have often seen him, on a winter
evening, stretch out on the floor in
front of the fireplace with his dogs
and lie there for hours, staring into
the flames without saying a word.
If you ever visit his farm, don’t
look for him in the cow barn. You
are more likely to find h;m diving
in the rwimming pool, monkeying
around his mink and fitch and fox
pens, fooling with “Nudist,” his black
bear, or riding a horse.
He is one of the busiest men I have
ever known and yet he never seem*
to be in a hurry. He is always calm
and relaxed. For example, I remem-
ber one winter day when I was at hi*
farm and we had to catch an early
train to New York City. We figured
we had just seven minutes in which
to eat breakfast and the rest of us
were in a nervous hurry, but “Tom-
my” calmly strolled into the dining
room and wanted to build a fire in
the fireplace so he could look at t
while he was eating.
Lowell Thomas is perhaps the only
man in the world who learned to fly
an airplane before he learned to
drive an automobile.
j but he would infinitely rather spend
| his time on his 300 acre farm up in
Hills in Duche-ss coun-
north of New York
[the Berkshire
ty, 70 mi'es
City.
Getting back to the farm every
night is almost a passion with him.
He finishes his broadcast in Radio
City at 7 o’clock sharp. The last
