It seems to be generally understood that the greatest
measure of unemployment is in what are known as the “build-
ing trades.” Building. except on public projects, is almost at
a standstill. In the big cities there was an orgy of overbuild-
ing up to mo, but in the nation as a whole we are told by
competent authorities there is still a great deal of building
and repair work to be done.
In normal times the United States used to spend about
four thousand million dollars a year on building, constructing
every year enough buildings to house a population as large
as the city of Los Angeles, with dwellings, public buildings,
stores, factories, hospitals, schools, libraries and the rest to
meet the needs of a million population.
With the cessation of that annual building program, car-
penters, masons, plasterers, painters, electricians, plumbers,
paper-hangers and all of the trades which collaborate to con-
struct a new building began to feel the pinch of unemploy-
ment. The furniture and furnishing industries felt it next,
and so on down the line. And the sources from which money
ordinarily comes for building purposes found themselves with
“frozen” loans and no money to lend even to those who
wanted to build or repair.
We think there are probably enough office buildings,
stores and semipublic buildings of that sort; probably enough
factories, also, liut all of those need modernizing and repair-
ing. and while there are dwellings enough, of a sort, to house
everybody in America, many of them ought to be abandoned
and replaced with new ones, and practically all of them ought
to be repaired, many to the point of virtual reconstruction.
For those reasons we await with a good deal of interest
further details of the Government’s plan to encourage long-
term instalment loans for repairing and modernizing dwell-
ings. We understand this does not contemplate direct loans
from public funds, but rather some sort of a guarantee to
lenders against loss when all the conditions of the loan meet
the approval of Government experts. We do not know how far
it is proposed to go to extend the same security and encour-
agement to lend for new dwelling construction, but the Gov-
ernment would do well to try to simplify the present system
of building loans and cut down the cost to the home-builder of
the money he has to borrow- for that purpose. One of the
great reasons why building has slowed up is that mortgage
loans under the present system are hard to collect, and there-
fore the borrower is required to pay altogether too high a
profit to somebody when he tries to finance a home. — Auto-

REGIMENTATION . . its meaning
I notice a hot discussion going on
all around over the meaning of the:
word "regimentation." To me, as *
to most people, it means compelling
people, more or less against their
will, to murch In line und submit
to discipline. But it makes some
folks In Washington mad to sug-
gest that there is any regimenta-
tion In any of the New Deal plans. |
I heard Rex Tugwell the other
night give n new definition of the
word. He calls It regimentation
when men on a Job are required to
punch a time-clock and perform the
routine of their tasks. To me that;
is regimentation only when they1
are forced to it, as In a chain-gang j

In reason, Is the best credit risk
which n financial institution can
find and the organization which ex-
tends him credit in accordance
with his ability to pay is lending on
the best collateral on earth. Such
in brief is the philosophy of hank-
ing which has made the First Nlch-1
ols National bank of Kenedy one of,
the oustandiug financial institu-
tions of Texas. It was voiced by H.
\V. McGoldrick, vice-president and
cashier, who is recognized as one
of the soundest bankers of the
state.
While most hanks in recent de-,
pression years were tightening
their loan requirements. In some
cases almost shutting off credit fa-
cilities lo agriculture, the First
Nichols National hank maintained
a policy of conducting business as
near normal as possible in keeping
with the experience of the hank of-
ficers. It never let up on legitimate
loans and carried on in a normal
way. The directors and officers fig-
ured that the security the farmer
could give was as good as a govern-
ment bond because it meant “Three
meals a day” to him. Business flow-
ed to the hank and its sphere of in-
fluence widened rapidly. It acquir-
ed the assets of the Citizens State
hank of Bunge and extended Its
business field Into northern Goliad
edy banks. He at present is mayor
of Kenedy.

Bridgc Party Announces
Aproaching Marriage
Miss Jewel Slllllts acted us host
ess to a delightful bridge party giv-
en in her Robstown home in the
Evergreen addition on Saturday af-
ternoon. May 5. at which time the
aproaching marriage of Miss
Gladys Hunt and Mr. Calvin Hlbler
was announced.
Miss Shults used an attractive
color scheme of yellow and black
In all details of her party. Nastur-
tiums in black bowls and vases
were placed at vantage points In
the reception rooms while a large
bouquet was used for the center-
piece of the lure covered dining
table. All bridge accessories were
ill keeping with the colo^fuhcme
and the prizes were wrapped In yel-
low cellophane paper and tied with
black ribbons.
Following a series of interesting
games of bridge Miss Lucille Wrey
of Sun Diego received a vanity ease
for high score while second high, a
deck of cards, went to the honoree.
The hostess presented the honoree
with a lovely piece of lingerie.
Refreshments were served at six
o’clock, buffet style, from the din-
ing table in attractive black and
yellow dishes. A card on each plate
gave the wedding date for June 1st
at the Presbyterian church in
Kingsville. The menu consisted of
chicken salad, open faced cream-
cheese sandwiches, stuffed celery,
stuffed dates, ripe olives, cheese
sticks, strawberry shortcake and
coffee. Miss Karine Shults presided
over the silver coffee service.
The personnel of the affair in-
express themselves, even though
the main rules are laid down by the
majority. Suppress the minorities
and you have the opposite of Lib-
eralism, which is tyranny. And I
am not sure which is the more tyr-
annical, Communism or its op-
posite, Fascism.
I am only sure that neither I nor
most of the people of America want
either.

AN UNKNOWN AUTHOR
When we say that Isaiah’s own hook ends with the magnifi-
cent poem, which concludes chapter 35. somebody raises an J ‘•otinty in addition to northeastern
objection. “The book of Isaiah has 06 chapters,” he says.:
“and how tan it end at 35?” The answer is that beginning
with chapter -10, this book has another author. We do not
know his name, nor why he took such great pains to conceal it.
Following the exile 100 years or more after the work and
writing of Isaiah himself, there were some useful but rather
commonplace prophets, Ilaggai and Zechariah, whose mes-
sages helped on the work of rebuilding the temple, but who
cannot be called great men. But one truly great voice did
sjieak out, the voice of this splendid Unknown, the author of
the last chapters of the book which is all labeled with Isaiah’s
name.
He described himself as “the voice of a herald” crying,
“Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.” He
called men to grade the roads, cutting down the hills and fill-
ing the valleys and preparing to go back to Zion. He does
not name Isaiah nor refer to any king or event contemporary
with him. On the contrary, these chapters were clearly writ-
ten 150 years later in the time of Cyrus.
