Here is something to offset
the often-told story that our
petroleum reserves are being
used up: A California scien-
tist has discovered a germ
only l-5000ths of an inch long
that can wrangle drops of oil
out of earth long considered
to be dry. The big name of
the little bug is Desulfovibrio

Coke Stevenson, the only
man ever to serve Texas as
governor for as long as five
years and five months, step-
ped out of office on Tuesday
with the love and respect of
most of its more than six mil-
lion people. He was a “com-
mon sense, grass roots” gover-
nor who probably could have
been re-elected to a third
term. Texans can “point with
pride” to his record in deal-
ing with the many war time
problems and not bankrupt-
ing the state treasury—in fact
it was about 25 million in the
red when he entered the of-
fice and that much in the
black as he retires.

The newsprint paper short-
age is being felt in newspaper
plants all over Texas and the
nation. Typical of editorial j
action is a story printed last
week bv The Stephenville Em-
pire-Tribune expressing re-
•grets to readers that numer-
ous society items, visiting
briefs and letters from com-
munity correspondents were
not published because of lack
of space. This newspaper,
faced with the same problem,
will continue to print all news
of local importance it can
find space for; but some of it
may be abbreviated and de-
layed. We must operate with-
in the limits of a limited sup-
ply of newsprint.

Chamber of Commerce. It
sponsors a policy that disap-
proves advertising in other |
than second class matter. This
means disapproval of adver-

sue or stated circulation, and
on display cards, napkins, etc.
Most business men do not like
to pay for the printing of or-
ganizational publications with
advertising that does not
reach the general public. Ad-
vertising is news and belongs
in a newspaper or a regular
news publication that pub-
lishes current news happen-
ings. Business men have some
protection from transitory
and competitive peddlers.
Regular news publications de-
serve the same consideration.
It is hard for some politicians
to understand why they are sin-

Some politicians are too dumb to

In the interim, although
has had more than her share of
illness, Alyene Porter lias not just
been marking time. She has been
doing some short stories, and in
connection with an educational
film company she has been writ-
ing scripts for school and church
films, which she believes to be
the greatest medium of education.
Shelias also been doing a series
of biological films. This is in line
with her first love, dramatics, for
at one time she did script writ-
ing for the Texas School of the
Air, similar work with the Evans-
ton Children’s Theatre in con-
nection with Northwestern Uni-
versity, and Little Theatre work
in Dallas and Wellesley. “I think
all of this helped a great deal,”
said Miss Porter, “for I believe
that the dramatic background was
as good a preparation as I could
have had for writing.”
Ever since high school days
when she won several writing
contests, Alyene Porter definite-
ly has had the gift for which so
many strive and so few find.
“The reason I am making the
next book a humorour one,” she
declares “is because of all the

The Republicans are on the
spot. They have promised to do
something about labor laws, tax
reduction and portal-to-portal
laws. An anxious public asks,
will they do it or will they look
at the vote barometer and bury
their good intentions under an
avalanche of legislative wrangl-

SAVE YOURSELVES
Peter proclaimed to the multi-
tude assembled on the day of
Pentecost, “Save yourselves from
this crooked generation,” Acts 2:
40. This is truly an indication
that man can and must save him-
self if he wishes to be saved. If,
and whenever man appropriates
to himself the blessings contained
in the gospel, God will save him
and not until that time.
The obedience to the Lord’s
commandments preceding salva-
tion is taught by the following
scriptures:
“God so loved the world, that
He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth on Him
should not perish, but have eter-
nal life,” John 3:16. “He that be-
lieveth on the Son hath eternal
life; but he that obeyeth not the
Son shall not see life, but the
wrath of God abideth on him.”
John 3:36.
Surely, there is no one who
does not wish to have eternal
life. We may have life eternal
by submitting to the Lord’s com-
mandments. And by so doing we
actually save ourselves.
“And this is life eternal, that
they should know thee, the only
true God, and Him with whom
thou didst send, even Jesus
Christ.” John 17:3. Do we know
God? “And hereby we know that
we know Him, if we keep
commandments. He that saith T
know Him, and keepeth not His
commandments, is a liar, and the
truth is not in him,” 1 John 2:3, 4.
“Jesus answered and said unto
him. If a man love me, he will
keep my word, and my Father
will love him, and we will come
to him, and make our abode with
him,” John 14:23. “Not everyone
that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doeth the will
of my Father who is in heaven,"
Matt. 7:21. “—he became unto all
them that obey Him the author
of eternal salvation,” Heb. 5:9.
“Ye are my friends if ye do
things which I command yd
John 15:14.
God provided the gospel thru
Christ His Son: the gospel is
God’s power to save and we must
render obedience to that gospel
or be forever lost. “And to you
that are afflicted rest with us, at
the revelation of the Lord Jesus
from heaven with the angels of
His power in flanaing fire, ren-
dering vengeance to them that
know not God, and to them that
obey not the gospel, “2 Thess. 1:7,
8. Thus, we may save ourselves
by obedience to the gospel of
Christ.
