Grover Sellers
Endorses Jester
Campaigning in East Texas
where Grover Sellers, third man
in the first primary in the guber-
natorial race, polled a command-
ing vote, Beauford Jester this
week was confident of the sup-
port of Sellers’ home folks.
Sellers himself endorsed Jester
in a statewide radio address, and
Elmer Lincoln of Texarkana,
Sellers’ campaign manager in the
First Congressional District in the
first primary, assured Jester he
would" receive a minimum of 8U
per cent of the Sellers votes m
those eleven counties.
In his first week of second
primary campaigning the leading
candidate emphasized his stand
on higher salaries for school tea-
chers, industrialization and laboi
peace and old age pensions.
He pledged his efforts as gov-
ernor to raise the average ot
school teachers’ salaries to at
least $2000 per year from the
$1785 per year which is now toe
average for Texas’ 46,000 school
teachers.
He said the money was m
sight, our schools are only as
good as'their teachers, and the
state should therefore pay them
what they are worth.
Jester said that he pledged
himself to see that old age pen-
sioners get the maximum amount
due them under the constitutional
limit set for public welfare, and
that a new fedei’al law would
make it possible to raise the
maximum pension payment to
$45. , , . .
He promised to ask for legis-
lation which wouljj permit school
districts receiving state equali-
zation aid also to take advan-
tage of the increased school ap-
portionment of $6, which would
mean that the 16,000 teachers m
those schools could receive salary
increases.
Texas Is Giving
Support To Cotton
Industry Campaign
Texas is giving all-out support
to the cotton industry’s campaign
for a two million dollar fighting
fund to meet the challenges of
cotton’s competition* George G.
chance, Bryan, leading cotton
producer and chairman of the
Texas Unit of the National Cot-
ton Council, said today.
A total of 861 Texas cotton
ginners already have agreed to
support the Council program of
sales promotion and research,
compared with 608 for the same
time last year, Mr. Chance an-
nounced. He said that early in
August, 38 of the state’s 104
compresses and warehouses hud
signed Council finance agree-
ments.
The state also stands high in
all other phases of the Council
finance campaign, Mr. Chance
stated. Out of 115 cottonseed
crushers in the state, 34 already
are backing the program, and 36
of the 145 Texas cotton mer-
chants are covered by Council
agreement^. On the basis of ini-
tial mail contacts, 11.9 per cent
of the state’s 240,640 active cot-
ton spindles have agreed to back
cotton’s fight. .
“In supporting the National
Cotton Council, the cotton in-
terests of Texas are taking a
realistic view of the cotton situ

ation,” Mr. Chance asserted. “The
challenges from artificial fibers,
paper and foreign growths to
cotton’s markets daily are becom
g more serious.
“Through the Council, the far-
mers, ginners, warehousemen,
merchants, spinners and oil mill
operators of Texas and the other
cotton states are waging an ag-
gressive campaign to maintain
cotton’s present markets and to
build new ones.
“Our fiber is the greatest and
most versatile in the world,” he
continued, “and, given equality
in research and sales effort, it
can overcome any and all com-
petitors. To gain this equality,
however, cotton must have the
full support of every member of
the industry. Texas is proud of
what it already has accomplished
in the cotton program, and we
will not relax our efforts until
every cotton man has pledged
100 per cent cooperation.”
LOOK-LISTEN-LIVE
Everyone hates to miss a train.
But there is one time everyone
should miss it—at a grade cross-
ing! In a survey of 4000 drivers,
it was found that 81 per cent of
them looked neither way before
crossing the railroad tracks; 17
per cent looked in one direction;
and two per cent looked both
ways. The Texas Safety Associa-
tion says, “Miss that train—Look!]
—Listen!—and Live!”

A Chance
