Motions of words have been wrtften
about the tragedy which struck the na-
tion, about the greatness of the man who
has led this nation as president for the
t ^Jast three vean. Many much wiser than I
- paid tribute to a min who. while he ear
ried the burdens of this country and
much of the rest of toe world on Ids
shoulders, still had time to be a good hus-
band and a good father fo his two chil-
’dren. '
'-With Some however, fhere, have been
expressions of hate, of getting even. One
man, it appears, felt this so greatly that
he took the Uw into his own hands and
shot down the prime suspect In the prcsi-

This is unfortunate and distressing 'to
those who take pride in the United States
and t.Ke orderly processes of law upon

APPROVAL of the MD0.000 bond issue
by Stamford school patrons is commend-
able. This shows that Stamford still de-
sires to move forward. TQwns in purely
agricultural areas face a dim future. All
across the country they have been shrink-

ahead and to change with changing times
can expect (0 continue to exist as pros-
perous communities.

Just a few days mpre than one-hun-
dred. years ago another president, later
assassinated, uttered words at the dedi-
cation of a cemetery at Gettysburg that
might well be considered at thl? time._____
President* Lincoln was speaking of the
men who gave their lives for their coun-
try. There is no question but President
John Kennedy did.the same. He was the
Victim’ of extremist thinking. And there
is far too much” of that going on In this
country today.
Whether it be too far to the left or too
far to the right, those who get caught up
in this kind of thinking are enemies of
our nation. The killing of the president
was -the ‘extreme expresston of this
enmity. ^
These hate mongers within our midst
are our greatest enemy today. We must
find some means to convince them they
are wrong.

FOR MANY YEARS Mrs. Mary Jo Lev-
erett, wife of the superintendent .of
schools at Old Glory, helped Truett Hen

wall County. Truett, the county agent,
did not have a home demonstration
agent in his county so Mrs. Leverett
helped with the girls 4-H work.
Haskell County recognized Mrl Levor-

demonstration agent. Now she is busy
with her girls and with the women, set-
ting up organizations and work programs.

have been 'ginning' around over the coun-

has been very receptive and cooperative
which really helDs the cause along. There
were nine,girl’s clubs organized as of
last Friday (Nov. 151 and there should be
two or three more going by the time you

"So far, we have girl groups at Sager-

are eager and raring to go. Our only dif-

often wondered why I can’t ar-
range such a system myself.
Here’s the way It works: ac-
tlieie, but you don't understand.
F very body runs for office on a
platform of economy, and no
economy-minded Congressman
Is going to vote to increase the
national debt.-even though they
do every session. This may
sound like Congress’ trying to
vote that some movie actress'
age shall forever remain 36,
it’s a pre ty wealthy country,
although ir th'nk maybe wte
could cut dowQ,, somewhere, ex-
cept the cut ought to be in some
other part "Of the country, not
around here. Any right- hlnking
person knows. tne place to ctjt
the naUonal debt is In' Nor^t
Daxota, not In Texas.
At any rate. I wouldn’t mind

some way to raise it tempora-
rily every few months for tt|e
