In issuing the proclamation de-
signating the special week, Gov-
ernor Shivers recognzed the many
contributions the mdre than 41,-
000 members of 2,023 Texas home
demonstration clubs have made
to the advancement of rural liv-
ing. He pointed out that the
state of Texas has not only bene-
fited froty; the individual work
of its home demonstration club
members, but has gained national
recognition through their achieve-
ments.
Governor * Shivers said that
home demonstration clubs have
reflected credit on their sponsors,
the United States Department of
Agriculture, the Texas Agricul-
tural Extension Service of the A.
& M. College System and the
Commissioner’s Courts by build-
ing a greater Texas as they build
better homes.
In J912 the first home demon-
stration agent in Texas was ap-
pointed to work with girls’ toma-
to clubs and in 1915 demonstra-
tion work began with women.
The county personnel has grad-
ually increased until there are
255 home demonstration agents
and assistants.
The Texas Home Demonstra-
tion Association began as a very
loosely organized group of rural
women in 1926. Twenty-six years
later it has grown into a formal
organization with many accom-
plishments to its credit. The pres-
ent officers of the association are:
Mrs. R. M. Almanrode, president,
Munday, Knox County; Mrs. B.
M. Harris, vice president, Plain-
view, Hale County; Mrs. John
Golightly, secretary, Hico, Hamil-
ton County; Mrs. Vaughn D. Bail-
ey, treasurer, Aqua Dulce, Nueces,
County; Mrs. G. W. Ferguson/
editor, Temple, Bell County.
School Budget—
(Continued from page 1)
In explaining the new budget,
shortly after the meeting was op-
ened hy J. W. Luker, board pres-
ident. .Marcom explained that the
present tax rate of $1.35 per $100
valuation .would not be raised, but
that a 1JL per cent increase in
valuations would be necessary to
meet 1952-53 school year re-
quirements.
Of the oil company tax officials
present, Paul Hagan, representing
Stanolind, was the only one who
took a part in the discussion. He
said, in effect, that the 10 per
cent valuation increase deemed
necessary by the board would
mean an 18 per cent increase over
last year for Stanolind because of
depletion.
Hagan praised the board far its
efficient operation of the local
school system and said he knew
of no other schools of similar size
operated as efficiently on the per
capita student expenditure of
$240.
He sounded a note of warning,
however, in stating flatly that
school districts should operate* as
economically Jas possible, at the
same time keeping an eye to the
future in regard to tax structure.
In outlining the budget, Marcom
said allowance is made for 130
teachers, which is seven mare than
compose the faculty this year. He
also mentioned that funds are not
available on the anticipated in-
come for pre-payment of bonds.
In addition to raises in teach-
1 -salaries, the budget allows
dor $25 a month raise in janitors’
pay.
The new budget shows estimated
receipts of $723,162 and estimated'
expenditures of $721,838. The
foundation budget (for state aid)
is $395,276
The school district’s board of
equalization will hold public hear-
ings May 19-20 on the valuation
increases. The board is composed
•of D. P. Bates, Bill Carter and
Howard Vaughan.
Also attending Thursday night’s
meeting wa* Mabum L. Harris of
the Thos. Y. Pickett & Co., valu-
ation engineers for the Levelland
school district.

Childish Game of 'Follow the Leader' Grows
Up and Becomes Mechanized; Autos Use
ORANGE, April 19 (AP)—The
childish game of “Follow the
Leader” has grown up and be-
come mechanized.
There was a time when it was
played only by small fry squeez-
ing through unlaid sewer pipes,
teetering precariously atop fences
and shinnying manfully up tall
trees.
Nowadays the game is played
mostly by youths in their late
teens and early twenties—in au-
tomobiles.
They gang up at some favorite
hangout, organize, and drive slow-
ly—or rapidly if they are sure no
offi6ers are about—through crow-
ded streets, bumper to bumper,
sometimes with dozens of-cars in
the procession.
The fad started—as; many
others have — on the West coast.
Officers here say the game some-
times .gets pretty rough out here
and have heard reports that sev-
eral "players” have been killed in
California.
About 100 Orange youths have
begun playing the game*and, odd-
ly enough, blame its adoption here
on a newspaper crusade which
closed down gambling at night
clubs in adjoining Calcasieu par-
ish, La. ___ i- , '
Local “playewT who have talkfd
to reporter* say the group of
young people involved, mostly un-
married, once found satisfactory
recreation abtbe nearby Louisiana
night clubs.
Now that the clubs have lost
their gambling, they add, they are
no longer able to afford the better
class of dance bands and other
entertainment which the gaming
room formerly financed.
The first game here was played
March 21 and 14 automobiles
loaded with young people parti-
cipated. That time they drove in
and out of parking lots, through
filling stations, across a school
campus and all over the city until
officers broke up the procession.
On March 26, this time with
30 cars, they played it again. But
with a warning from Corporation
Court Judge A. H. Prince that he
would “be hard on” anybody
caught violating the law while
participating s^ill fresh, they were
careful to obey all the traffic
rules.
While nearly 9 dozen! officers
tore their hair and ranted at the
young drivers; the 30 automobiles
Aggie'Exes'—
(Continued from page 1) •
are now in the running, it is al-
together possible that the SWC
officials will just forget the Whole
thing rather than stir up a major
issue.
The main speaker for the ev-
ening was Dean W. L. Stangel,
of the Tech agricultural division
who traced the growth of Texas
A. & M. from his time to present
facilities and enrollment.
The Aggie muster was originat-
ed 50 years ago as a two-fold
commemoration of the Battle of
San Jacinto and a tribute to Tex-
as A. & M. ,,
Ranson, retiring president, is
succeeded by Ross Meador of
Idalou who was elected at the
close of the meeting. Albert
Brann of Lubbock is the new
vice-president, and Welton Jones,
Lubbock, was named secretary-
treasurer.

paraded about the town for an
hour and a half without a single
ticket being issued.
The following day telephones in
the office of The Orange Leader
were kept busy by youths who
took part. All complained about
the lack of what they considered
suitable recreational facilities for
their age group and all voiced
complaints about the way the of-
ficers had conducted themselves
while the game was being played.
One 20-year-old boy brought in
a signed statement. {Here are
quotes from it:
“What is there to do for recre-
ation in this town—nothing, noth-
ing at all but theatres and a drive-
in. As for the park (the city’s
municipal playground) it is OK if
you have nothing to do but sit
and count your toes or play tennis.
“My legs aren’t pretty enough
for shorts, so I don’t play tennis.
As for my toes, I have eleven so
that leaves nothing but movies.
“So. you go see a movie then
go riding and What happens. You
get stopped by two constables
while making 20 mph in a 60 mph
zone.”
On the same day the Leader
received a signed letter from#;
of the city’s more popular t
age working girls. It read,
part:
“Just the other day I read*
your paper about a group of
youths playing ‘follow the leader’
in cars. I ask you now: Woujfa
they be doing that sort of thingSf
they had a decent place to ggr-
a place to take a nice girl
to dance without having a bi
of children hanging around
viously an allusion to a city -o£er-'
ated youth center frequented
mostly by the younger teenager*)
or a group of drunks over in' a
corner (apparently a reference to
the night clubs) xxx
“It’s a terrible thing for a totvn
of this size, with all its industries
and businesses to have no place
for the younger men and women
to go for fun.”
The Orange Leader, commenting
that “it appears that our anti-
gambling crusade has brought
forth an unexpected problem,”
announced that it is launching an-
other campaign—for a youth cen-
ter with attendance limited to
the “older teenagers and those
who ought to be.”
TIXANS IN WASHINGTON
Congress Takes Time to Consider
Bills Concerning dnly Individuals
By TEX EASLEY
AP Special Washington Service
WASHINGTON, April 29, (AP)
—While Congress devotes most of
its attention to weighty world and
national problems, it also takes
time to consider hundreds of per-
sonal bills that concern only in-
dividuals and their private lives.
Three Texans are named in a
score or more of such measures
involving servicemen. Approved
by both House and Senate and
sent to President Truman for hte
signature, they involve the adop-’
tion of orphaned children in Ja-
pan and Germany and waving of
immigration laws to permit their
entry into the United States.
Master Sgt. Albert Sidney Bris-
ed under one of the bills to bring
ifcto the U. S., without regard to
immigration quotas, little Hans
Werner Brisco, bom July 8, 1950
in Munich.
Sgt. Juan M. Valdez of Edin-
burg and his Japanese wife are
involved in another of the meas-
ures. It authorizes them to bring
into the U. S. the three-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Valdez, wfao was
officially adopted by the Texan
after the marriage of the couple
last year. As the wife of an Am-
erican serviceman, Mrs. Valdez al-
ready was authorized to enter this
country.
Sgt. Edward W. Gentry and his
wife, Fern,, both of San Antonio,
are authorized to bring in as their
adopted son, two-year-old Kazumi
Yamashite.
The House Agriculture Commit-
tee probe of Movie Actor Robert
Moatgomery regarding his ad-
verse radio news comments on
the foot-and-mouth disease con-
trol program was largely a verbal
battle between the Hollywood
celebrity and Waco'* affable and
very informal congressman Bob
(The Farmer's Friand) Poage
Time ana again when Poage
would aak Montgomery a question
the latter would respond with a
question. Unlike many congress-
men who wopld sharply remind
the witness he was present to
answer questions and not to ask
them, Poage would oblige with an
inferrtiatiVe reply.
Montgomery, somewhat reluc-
tantly, agreed to let Poage speak
later on hi* radio broadcast pro-
gram to tell about the foet-and-
month disease control program in
Mexico. He said he would much
rather hgvo Secrotary of Agricul-
ture Brannon appear.
Throughout his testimony,
Montgomery referred to Midland’s
ngressmafti Ken Regan as a
rce of his critical observation
ich precipitated the hearing.
tfan, speaking out after
ntgomery finished,, supported
actor-commentator and de-
clared that recurring outbreaks
of the disease in Mexico were
probably planved by individuals
\#nting to perpetuate their jobs.
Hi exonerated top, responsible of-
ficials of blame.
The hearing developed one of
those exceedingly rare situations
in which members of the Texas
congressional delegation differed
openly. Most of the times they
iron out their differences private-
ly, but Poage and Regan clashed
sharply for a moment as the rest
of the committee and the specta-
tors listened.
“Weill regardless of how the
disease got started,” Poage said,
“We had to get in there and stamp
it out. »
“If your neighbor's house was
on fire, you would’nt stop to wor-
ry about whether it started by
accident or arson when you went
to put it out.”

*
California may have the Rose
Parade, the Rose Bowl and all the
fanfare. But Texas is the leading
rose-producing state in the na-
tion.
Texas producers are shipping up
to 20,000,000 'rose plants a year—
or two-thirds of all rosee used in
outdoor planting in America.
The rese is a field drop, and
growers set out ten acres of roses
like other farmers plant corn, or
cotton. In fact, some rose growers
also plant other; crops, and one
of the leading East Texas growers
takes pride in his .$ bale-per-acre
cotton yield.
During the blooming season one
can see some 15,000,000 rose plants
flowering 2,000,000,000-odd roses
and die and drop off the bush,
—which go to waste as they fade
for it is the plant, not the bloom,
that is marketed.
Shipments average 200 to 300
cars annually jo big cities in the
East and Middlewect. Up to 14,-
000,000 plants move in refrigera-
ted cars; the regaining go by par-
cel post and truck.
Texas producers take as much
pride in the development of fine
rose stock as our cattle breeders
take in their Hereford Whitefaces.
Growers are known to have paid
as much as $10,000 for a single
parent plant.
They grow many varieties de-
veloped by cross-pollination by
breeders in other parts of the
country and Europe. But they al-
so develop their own varieties
from “sports” which occur when
a plant suddenly develops char-
acteristics unlike those of ifs par-
ent. One sport may never develop
into anything worthwhile. Another
may become a valuable new pat-
ented variety from which a grower
con collect thousands of dollars
annually in royalties.
Until recent years, -Texas grow-
ers shipped their plants to dis-
tributors out of the state, but they
are now beginning to do some of
their own distributing, going in for
fancy root packing for department
Stores. The plant is displayed in
colorful moisture-proof packages,
and the roots are packed in sphag-
num moss—which conserves mois-
ture up to six weeks and allows
the plant to continue growing and
even to bloom on the sales coun-
ter.
Growers now store large quan-
tities of bushes for late shipment
to retail trade. Cold storage facil-
ities can handle 2,000,000 bushels.
In marketing rose plants, much
depends on the pull of the name.
A few of the most popular variet-
ies grown in Texas are Radiance,
Peace, Talisman, Briarcliff. Gay
Lady, Big Daddy, Festival, Sum-
mer Snow, Texas Centennial and
General MacArthur—an old vari-
ety named for ^Dc^iglas’ father.
By John C. White, Commluloner
(Para) One of the best-sellers is
an old variety which has no place
among the newer and finer plants.
The secret of its popularity is in
the name: “American Beauty.”
