It’ll snow and blow, one of these days—■
and the underprivileped without warn cloth-
ing will have a hard lime. Which is a build
up to sucpestinp: Any apparel around the
place you’d like to take to the Community
Trust Clothes Room?
“The happiest miser on earth/’ says Doc
Robinson, “is the one who saves his friends.’’
. . . Right!
How do you know that hitch-hiker won’t
murder you for your car and a few dollars?
Said a member of Rich Hqmil’s C of C
trade development committee: “Rich is cer-
tainly on the beam working for a big Christ-
mas here in Knnis.” His enthusiasm and
that of his committee should kindle a good
fire of Christmas spirit in our town—and,
no doubt, will!
CATNIPS—1“She doesn’t park a car, she
abandons it’’ . . . “He b so lazy he can’t
keep his self-winding watch running” ....
“.She’s the kind of girl who likes the simple
things in life—men” . . . “So the salesgirl
said to her, 'Will you take this with you or
shall I send it direct to the exchange depart-
ment?’” . . . “She knows he’s kind-hearted
because ,he said he put his shirt on a horse
that was scratched” . . . “He always knows
all the answers—five minutes after you
change the subject” . . . “Her idea of a
sparkling conversationalist is a man who dis-
cusses diamonds.”—(Hudson).
Supporting the Church
What about church support? How many
really and truly put tho right coin on the
line for backing of this outstandingly—im-
portant institution? All too few, of course.
Another question: Wonder how many
give $50,000 in a lifetime?
During his lifetime practically any man
can contribute tip to $50,000 to his church—
in terms of money and service. That strik-
ing thought comes from Robert W. Larson,
prominent newspaper editor, and Lutheran
lay leader.
“If men were to give more time and
money to their churches,” he went on, “the
influence of the Christian philosophy would
rise in a dramatic and significant manner in
our own community and throughout the
world ....
“Some church-goers who shove a five-
dullar bill over the liquor store counter for a
fifth of whisky just can’t seem to shake
another five-spot, from their fingers into
their church treasuries.”
If ever a sorry world was in need of a
Christian resurgence, this is the time. And
that demands both money and manpower.
That’s for sure!
Pearson Tells of Bohan Resignation
THE WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
By UiCLA 1 LARSON
E Washington.—While the U.S.A. is wor-
rying about Joe McCarthy and While Wash-
ington is more deluged with pro-McCarthy
church lobbyists than at any time in years,
an all-important backstage debate is going
on regarding l„atin America
which could advance the cause
6f Communism greatly.
In brief, Ambassador
Merwin L. Bohan has resigned
ns U.S. ambassador to the
Rio de Janeiro economic con-
ference because ti. -t confer-
ence will be run by Wall
Street, not for the good of
Pan American cooperation.
The Rio de Janeiro economic conference,
scheduled to open next week, was the bait
held out by John Foster Dull** ut the Cara-
cas conference when he got our Latin friends
to support the U.S.A. regarding Guatamala.
Great things would be accomplished at
Rio, Dulles told the Latinos as an alibi for
little happenings at Caracas. Especially he
field out the promise of big U.S. loans and
economic aid.
But now Ambassador Bohan has resign-
ed for the specific reason that no real eco-
nomic aid or loans will be forthcoming.
What has happened, briefly, is this. For
kome time, Secretary of the Treasury Hum-
phrey has argued that the United States
should not advance money to Latin Ameri-
cans but that they should borrow from the
International Bank. This was one of the is-
sues between Humphrey and Dr. Milton
Eisenhower, Ike’s brother, when the latter
visited Latin America. And at that time
Milton won. He kept the export-import bank
alive as a means of loaning money to Latin
America.
However, Brother Milton has gone hack
to Penn State College ,while Secretary Hum-
phrey remains on the job in Washington. In
fact, he remains about the most powerful
cabinet member in Ike’s official family.
Furthermore, Humphrey will be the top U.S.
delegate to the Rio economic conference.
Dulles, who was planning to go, is now worn
out and will not go.
—Hard hoi led Humphrey—
So Humphrey has put across the policy
that loans will not be made by the Ex-Im
Bank unless Wall Street, operating through
;the International Bank, turns them down.
State Department advisers don:t en-
tirely like the Humphrey policy. But they
•are very discreet in their *pposition. After
Tall, Humphrey is the most powerful member
_of the cabinet.
What they point out is that loaning
money to Latin America is not a financial
matter but a political one. In brief, we should
not be loaning m.>> < \ to a semi-Communist
country even if it’s sou <d financially. On the
other hand, we may want to loan money to
a friendly country which needs help to throw
off Communism.
The State Department, not Wall Street
bankers, is qualified to make this decision,
the diplomats argue. And they are vigorously
against turning this vital instrument of na-
tional policy over to the bankers, either Wall
Street or any other group of bankera.
Meanwhile, Secretary Humphrey has
proposed an “International Finance Corpora-
tion” which would undertake borderline loans
to Latin America. However, Latin American
finance ministers regard this as a nebulous
promise for the future. They are definitely
skeptical. At the same time, latinos at the
Rio conference are certain to remember how
Prime Minister Mohammed Ali of Pakistan
went home with a gift of $105,000,000, while
Iran is getting aI>out $240,000,000, and Egypt
will get close to $100,000,000.
So the Latinos remark—rather—bitter-
v—that perhaps they need to wave the red
flag a little. If they adopA just a little Com-
munism, argue some of the Latin diplomats,
then they can collect all the money they want
from the U.S.A. But as long as they are
friends they can collect only via the tough
terms of Wall Street.
This is a story which doesn’t make the
headlines of the McCarthy censure motion.
But it can cause us much more damage by
Communist encroachment than McCarthy’s
“Communists” ever thought of doing.
—Washington Pipeline—
While the Senate hubbub continues over
Senator McCarthy, who has done little more
than shout about the Communist conspiracy,
the government’s subversive activities con-
trol board quietly begins hearings today that
should lead to the permanent crippling of a
key Red front, the Civil Rights Congress.
. . . The Civil Rights Congress for years has
blown the propaganda horn for the Commu-
nist party. It is operated as the Red rescue
squad but has never identified itself with
the party .... Theophile Kammholz, Ike’s
appointee to the key post of general counsel
of the National Labor Relations Board, is an
old buddy of Sinclair Weeks, the Commerce
Secretary, who always has his big business
finger in the President’s labor decisions.
Weeks picked Kammholz as the Commerce
Department delegate to last year’s inter-
national labor organization meeting. The fact
that Weeks picked him for the NLRB isn’t
going to help Secretary Mitchell’s resentment
that Weeks meddles too much in I^abor De-
partment affairs .... Albert Beeson, the
Eisenhower appointee to the National Labor
Relations Board last year, whose evasive-
ness before the Senate labor committee led
to a full-scale floor fight over his nomina-
tion, has written Eisenhower stating that
he does not want to be reappointed. He cites
his wife’s health as the reason. (Actually,
his appointment would be turned down bjf a
Democratic Senate.) . . . Roger Kyes, the
former Secretary of Defense now back at
General Motors, has employees at GM’s home
appliance division in Dayton complaining
that he’s conducting a reign of terror . . . .
The public has raised such a ruckus over the
colored stripes on the 'new tax forms that
the color scheme will be abandoned next
year. Tax Chief T. Coleman Andrews has
been defending the system, because he has
already printed up so many tax returns that
he is stuck with them. However, the color
gives away the approximate amount of taxes
your neighbor pays, and the plan will be
junked.
A MINT) DISEASED
More Americans were patients in men
tal hospitals last year than ever^before, an-
nounces the National Association* for Mental
Health. The daily figure was 750,000. The
number of persons treated during the year
wras 2,500,000. Also 5,000,000 people who
went to general hospitals for other ailments
had some mental or emotional disturbance.
These are horrifying figures. The most
dismaying feature is that these patients
have so little done for them. Most mental
hospitals are overcrowded and understaffed,
unable to give more than minimum attention
to each patient. Nor has much interest been
aroused in bettering these conditions.—Cor-
sicana Sun.

The Bidding;

Everyone was in the bidding to-
day. When Miss Brash bid two
clubs Mr. Champion went in for the
kill, Mr. Muzzy had an escape that
couldn’t be hurt, badly and when
Mr. Dale bid two hearts, Mr. Cham-
pion wa« glad to give him a raise.
Mr Dale carried on to game,.
Miss Brash cashed the ace, then
tile king of sixties. This told Mr.
Dale that site had 1st a r ted with just
two cards in the’ suit. Of course
the same story was there for Mr.
Muzzy to read—If he was paying
any attention
Hoping to give her partner the
lead at the third, trick. Miss Brash
shifted to the jack of diamonds.
Tills was covered all around and
won by Mr. Dale. To thwart Miss
Brash’s pla.n of getting in a ruff
he quickly led three rounds ot
trumps, then played his last dia-
mond Mr. Muzzy winning with the
ten.
— HOWL FROM MUZZY —
A spade was returned and M r.
Dale, won with the queen. He led a
club and paused t.j think for a
moment after Miss Brash followed
suit with the 4-spot,
Bitting there with the lone king,
Mr. Muzzy put on an expression
of the greatest innocence. But sud-
denly Mr. Dale reached over to
dummy and played the ace.
A howl went up from Mr, Muzzy
“Did you have two clubs?" he asked
Mr. Dale suspiciously. Mr. Dale an-
swered In the affirmative.
"Then how could you possibly
have decided not to take the fi-
nesse?" Mr. Muzzy demanded. "My
partner bid clubs without the ace,
queen, 10 and 9. To play me for
the ikng, you must have peeked."
“I didn't peek,” replied Mr. Dale,
smiling. "The play of the ace was
an absolutely sure thing—and with-
out aeldng your hand "
“Just tell me how you know that,"
said Mr. Muzzy pugnaciously.
"Because the 6-of-diamonds In
dummy was good," answered Mr.
Dale quietly.
As a rule men are more lntersted
In getting their bite than in giving
their bit.

COUNTY AGENT
. . . SAYS:
By WALTER E. KRUSE
County Agricultural Agent
The meeting date for the Young
Farmers Fellowship Club has been
changed due to the holidays to 7:30
p.m. Monday night, November 22.
Wives and families of members are
especially invited since it is the
meeting where we are hoping to
plan the, Christmas party in Decem-
ber. The meeting will be in the
Farm Bureau Building in Waxa-ha-
chie, and the program for the
meeting will be supplied by speakers
on Social Security for farmers and
on income taxes for farmers. Both
these subjects should be of great
interest to farmers at the present
time since the law has been changed
effective January 1, 1954.
AGRICULTURAL OUTLOOK
The following Is a summary of the
1V55 Agricultural Outlook as John
G. McHaney, assistant Extension
economist, sees it.
Exports play a vital part in the
demand for agricultural products.
Markets in foreign countires pro-
vide outlets for food and fiber that
we cannot consume at home. Ex-
ports are extremely Important to
those Texas farmers who produce
wheat and cotton. In the 1953-54
marketing year, exports represented
nearly a fifth of the total wheat
production and approximately a
fourth of the cotton production.
The foreign market for farm pro-
ducts is expected to improve in 1955
and exports may total 10 per cent
or more above the $2.9 billion in and
exports may total 10 per cent or
more above the $2.9 billion in 1953-
54 marketing year. By no means is
it predestined that our exports will
continue on the up-grade. Wha-t
does hapen to our exports will de-
pend to what extent agriculture,
private trade, and government are
able to stand behind and push.
F’oreign cotton supplies in the
1954-55 marketing year are expect-
ed to be a little smaller than a year
earlier. U. S. supplies are large and
our exports in the coming yepr may
total larger than in 1953-54 yer.
We cannot count healthier for-
eign markets to provide a total cure
for our surplus problem—hut to the
extent that our foreign markets hold
steady or ke^p on improving, It will
give that much more strength to our
total marketing position.
DAIRY
The agricultural marketing service
for the North Texas milk marketing
area announced that the November
milk price for Class 1 milk of 4 per
cent butte,rflat F.O.B. the plants
will be $5.91 per 10 pounds for the,
month of November Tills is a small
Increase over Class 1 price in Oc-
tober whe nit was $5.79. Most dairy
farmers feel that the costs for pro-
duction of a pound of milk and the
price for milk are out of line.
SHEEP
Now is the, time to check the con-
dition of your flock if you are plan-
ning to lamb this winter. If you al-
ready have your lambs on the
ground you already know whether
your ewes were in proper condition.
If you have lack sheep exper-
ience, It might be will to get some-
one to help you catch and check a
few ewes in your flock for condi-
tion. The people who lack exper-
ience are sometimes mislead due to
the wool a* to her condition. Unless
ewes are in extremely poor condition
about one-half pound of grain per
day will be sufficient for about 6
to 8 weeks before her lamb Is ex-
pected. An excellent grain ration
would be about one-half milo and
one-half oats. If you are not feed-
ing any legume hay It would be.well
to feed about one-fourth to one-
third pound of protein supplement
