Thursday, September 17,
that's why we say...
Dependable
Natural Gas Service
Doesn't
Just Happen!
■■ *
mm
Cutting a Gas pipe line at the trouble point is dan*
gerous work—hard work—hot work! Y'et it’s only a
part of the big job of rendering dependable Natural Gas
service.
Yes, Natural Gas service is more than any one job,
no matter liow important. It is more than “bringing in”
a Gas well, and building a pipe line. The Gas must be
put through many expensive processes before it is
delivered safely, at proper pressures, to your home and
place of business.
Because Natural Gas is vital for war production in
the Gulf South, DEPENDABLE service is more impor-
tant today than ever. Natural Gas shall continue to
serve for Victory—AND WE WILL WIN!
Buy V. S. War Bonds and Stamps—Help Win the War!

necessary.
Henry Lane, Bay City water well driller, sent his truck and drilling
niuchinc to help, as did many others.
The citizens of Matagorda extend their gratitude to these people
nnd their companies for coming to their aid in a great time of need.
Our readers and The Herald are proud of their good work.
Many Others Deserve Praise For
Good Work In Storm Sector
Last week we congratulated the Halliburton Oil Well Cementing
Company for its good work in the storm-stricken Matagorda area.
By this, we did not mean to slight others, who also unselfishly contrib-
uted their time, money, and effort to help. It was merely our intention
to single Halliburton out as an outstanding example.
But now it has been called to our attention that P. H. Larsen of
■the Shell Oil Company of Houston was the first to relieve the water
.shortage, sending water tank trucks to Matagorda. He was immediately
followed by H. C. Becker of the Seismograph Service Company of Tulsa,
who sent his water trucks to the job and kept them there as long as
Today Is Constitution Day;
What Is The Constitution?
Today, September 17, is Constitution Hay, dedicated to the Consti-
tution of the United Stutes.
What is the Constitution 7 It is the basic of fundamental law of the
republic. It is a precise, formal, written document of the EXTRA-
ORDINARY, or SUPREME, type of constitution.
The founders of the Union established it as the highest govern-
mental authority; there is no national power superior to it. Its founda-
tions are so broadly laid as to provide for the expansion of national
life and to make it an instrument which should endure for all time.
To emphasize its stability, the framers made unusual and difficult
nnd the means by which it could be altered. No amendment becomes
valid unless ratified by three-fourths of the states,
The Constitution binds the states of the American Union in a '
governmental unity in everything that affects the welfare of all, but
recognizes the right of the people of each state to independence
of action in what pertains solely to themselves.
Therefore, the people of each state arc allowed to formulate their
local state constitution, but to avoid a conflict with the rights of other
states or with the power reserved to the federal authority the national
Constitution is declared to be the supreme law of the land, “anything
in the Constitution or laws of any state to the stute notwithstanding.”
This provision lessens the danger of a clash between federal and
state governments; for the decision in euse of a conflict of laws is made
a judicial, rather than a political, question.
The federal judiciary has jurisdiction over all cases arising under
the federal Constitution, laws nnd treaties; and, therefore, it has the
finnl decision on all questions of constitutional interpretation.
If a law of Congress is passed which violates any provisions of
the national Constitution the Supreme Court of the United States may
declare it unconstitutional and void, provided the law is involved in a
case before he court.
The first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights, were adopted in
1791, guaranteeing the liberties of the individual, as well as tile .
right of the states, against federal oppression.
As one newspaper recently pointed out: “American democracy
has an occasional spasm, generally in isolated spots, but it can’t go
far wrong so long as it doesn’t toss into the ash-heap the good old
Bill of Rights."

“. . . war is a matter of grim bookkeeping. Ami militarily we and

MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD
By Mrs. \V. N. Wilson
Of West Columbia
We gave the most precious treas-
ure,
That can be given in this world
today,
When we gave our own precious
hoy.
To he sent so far away.
More precious than rubies or
diamonds,
Far more pneious than silver or
gold,
In fact the price of this treasure,
Could never in this world he to!,!.
For God, Himself, gave us this
Pift,
When he sent us a dear little bnv,
When we give up this gift He
gave us,
We give up our happiness and joy.
The rich man can’t give as much
as the poor,
If he only gives his silver and
gold,
For the poor man who gives his
precious boy,
Is the one who gives treasures
untold.
The folks who give gold and
silver,
Arc doing a great part we are
told,
But the ones who give their prec-
ious boys.
Give treasures more precious
than gold.
Then there are the folks who give
free work,
They too are doing a great part,
But the ones who give their
precious boys,
Are the ones who are giving
their heart.
In its great war production ef-
fort, the steel industry of America
this year will consume about three
times as much scrap iron and steel
as it needed in 1938. HURRY IN
THE SCRAP.
