New booklet brings
up to date benefit
of WAC to enrolees
Two new booklets depicting
life in the Women’s Army Corps
have been received by the Dallas
Recruiting Main Station, and are
now available for distribution to
young women between 18 and 34
in order that they may find out
visually as well as factually what
the army offers today’s young
women. The pamphlets contain
photographs of the WAC Center
and interesting shots of the lady
soldiers on the job and off duty.
"We want every young woman
in Texas to be aware of the many
benefits received from a tour in
service", said Major Eleanore T.
Geiser, WAC Procurement Of-
ficer for this area,” and feel that
every girl owes it to herself to
make herself qualified to live in

Copies of “Preview” and “The
Job That Has Everything” may be

State wins $1- million
plus in dean up of
Veterans land deals
AUSTIN—The State of Texas
has won judgments amounting to
$1,770,000 which represents over
one-half of the amount involved
in cases in the Veteran’s Land
clean-up and recovery program,
it was announced this week by
Attorney General John Ben Shep-
perd.
The latest judgments won by
the State were against J. > J’aul
Little, Crystal City for $69,054.-
94 and against Carol Burns, Car-
rizo Springs, for $112,700.00.
Shepperd pointed out that the
State had tried 22 out of 35 cases
filed, winning all of them. He
also pointed out that with the
value of the land in the recovery
suits plus the interest due, the
State will realize a profit even
un the questioned transactions.
County conventions
asked to back three
Shepperd measures
AUSTIN — Attorney General
John Ben Shepperd today releas-
ed the contents of three Inter-
position Resolutions with the re-
quest that they be acted oil fav-
orably at the Democratic County
Conventions Saturday, August 4.
A fourth resolution dealt with
segregation and intermarriage.
Included in the three Inter-
position Resolutions are (1) Pro-
posing an amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States
and appealing to other States to
join in a request to Congress to
call a Convention for the purpose
of proposing an amendment to
restore the power of the Stales
to conserve and regulate the ex-
ploration, production and distrib-
ution of their petroleum products,
water, sulphur and all other min-
erals and natural resources.
(2) A recommendation that
the next session of the Texas Leg-
islature pass a resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the Consti-
tution of the United States, re-
turning to the respective States
the power to make and enforce
laws to prohibit and punish acts
of sedition and subversion. .
Shepperd pointed out that the
Supreme Court had taken away
powers of various States to eon-
seive and control their Natural
Resources and to prohibit and
punish sedition and subversion.
The country today, said Shepperd,
is without effective control over
Communism or any other form of
subversive activity.
Shepperd further proposed
that county conventions call on
the next session of the Texas
'Legislature to join other states in
proposing an amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
limiting the maximum rate of
federal taxes on income, estate
and gifts to 25G except in time
of war. (Texas would be the 31st
State to propose such a change.
Thirty-two are required to force
an amendment to be submitted
for a vote by the States).
The fourth resolution calls up-
on the State Democratic Conven-
tion or State Democratic Exec-
utive Committee to recommend
specific legislation needed to pro-
hibit forced integration in the
public schools of Texas where
the parents of children of either
race object, and for specific leg-
islation to perfect State laws
against intermarriage between
white persons and negroes. Shep-
perd states that the decisive vote
in Saturday’s election on the Re-
ferendum covering these ques-
tions made the Convention and
Legislature obligated to propose
such legislation.

The frequently quoted saying,
"Go West., young man,” usually
attributed to Horace Greeley, ac-
tually was originated by an edi-
tor of a Terre Haute (Ind.)
newspaper.
Abraham Lincoln took time out
from his Presidential duties in
1862 to answer an editorial pub-
lished by Horace Greeley urging
that Lincoln immediately free
the slaves.

mayor said, that the state high-

pave the three blocks on Austin
avenue through the main part of
the city.
Mayor Glidden also announced
that the state highway department
had said they were in no way in-
terested in the $50,000 held in
escrow by the city and this
amount may be returned to the
city street improvement fund. A
meeting to discuss the angles to

Mayor Glidden had announced re-

Mayor Glidden read a report
he had made showing the amount
of funds voted by the city for
improvements of several kinds
from the year 1950 until 1956,
and the addition of taxable prop-
erty to the city in that time. He
commended the people of Denison
for their cooperation with city of-

mended a tax reduction of 1 cent
or, the $100 valuation.

Consider Titian
A painter can purchase u piece
of canvas and some paint for
60 cents. He can pour out his
soul in a “Redeemer” and the
canvas and paint that was added
can make 1he product of one
man’s soul aflame sell for $100,-
000.00. What made it valuable?
Certainly not the raw material.
That was only a mere pittance of
60 cents. Summed up it was 60
cents for raw material and $99,-
999.40 soul.
Painting und writing are alike
one does not place on canvas
and in articles or writings the
mere tricks of words. Donald
Cargill, the great preacher made
answer why he did not prolong
his prayers or messages from the
pulpit in these words: “Ever since
I first learned to bow my knees
to the Lord 1 dare not speak with
my gifts or. talents only, for what
does not affect my heart I can
hardly hope to have it affect the
hearts of others.”
The Elusive Spirit
There is the key to writing a
message as this writer sees it.
The environment, the hour, the
passion for a thing, the atmos-
phere around you as you toil to
unburden your soul—these, and
possibly other angles, must rest
on the heart of the man who
would write to affect life of
others. Men can’t turn out soul
messages like a factory turns out
on its production line such things
as autos or clothes pins.
Also men can’t start out to win
a prize in a writing contest and
hope to make any product pro-
nounced something worthy of a
plaque, certificate or ribbon. The
soul of man can not be turned
into a machine to win prizes or
fatten the coffers of greed.
Our contests among editors are
fine, but my brethren do not
