“SO YOU DON’T LIKE TEX-
AS.” by Virginia Spencer in “Hol-
land’s—a Texas Magazine”:
This is your first trip to Texas,
you have been here a few weeks
and you are more than ready
to go home. Texans are all right,
but you just cannot get along
with them. The facts are, they
get into your hair, and you are
annoyed because you let them.
You have been taught that
if a thing needs to be done, then
do it right now. Texans are a
little different. They reason that
if you wait until tomorrow or
next year, maybe you will not
have to do it. It usually works
out that way, especially if there
is somebody like you around
all fired up to do it right now.
Which is all right with Texas.
A native Texan would rather
sit down and talk it over than
get the job done. He likes to
talk, and after he has told you
his family history, he sits back
expectantly, eager to hear you
tell yours. If you fail to recipro-
cate, you are not friendly and,
therefore, queer. After patient
prodding if he still gets no re-
sults, he diagnoses your case.
You are just a damnyankee,
which means that you hail from
somewhere north of Red River.
Lots of “furriners” from up
nawth are real folks once you
get to know them; but they are
all a little “standoffish” at first.
To you, the “furriner” from up
nawth ‘ (which may mean that
you are from Kentucky or Cali-
fornia) Texans seem nosey. It
isn’t that you have anything
to hidfe, but you wonder why
anyone should be interested in
things which are strictly, none
of their business.
There is only one way you
can ruffle the easy going Texan.
Ruffle him? You will make him
fighting mad if you persist in
it. That one thing is to try to
change him, to teach him .to
become like you. He does not
want to be like you. He confi-
dently expects to live to put
flowers on the graves of people
like you, and he usually does.
He reasons that if you don’t
like this country, you can go
back where you came from. And
sure enough you do.
Or maybe you don’t. Possible
YOUR
DOCTOR
KNOWS
Your family doctor knows, when he writes you a prescrip-
tion for a certain disease or ailment, the kind of medicine he
wants you to have . . . his information is from long training and
practice, and he knows the results he will get from those pre-
scriptions.
Likewise from years of training and practice behind a pre-
scription case, we know how that prescription should be filled.
It will be filled to the letter and from pure, fresh drugs all the
time. Bring us your prescriptions and be safe.

circumstances detain you a
while longer, an unwilling guest,
in friendly Texas. What hap-
pens? Do you continue trying
to change Mr. and Mrs. Texas in-
to a perfect composite of Messrs,
and Mesdames Massachusetts,
Maine, Michigan, and Montana?
No, you realize you might as
well try to change the miles of
grassy plains into a range of
snow-capped peaks.
So, you admit, a bit grimly
perhaps, that Texans are Texans
and that is that. And since you
cannot change them, you must
make the necessary adjustments
to get along peaceably with
them. But how? The answer
is simple. Be yourself and allow
them to be themselves. Do your
job as it should be done when
it should be done, and let their
jobs go undone unless that in-
terferes with your own work. In
that instance, you may prod the
native gently, and if he does
not respond, then do your job
and his too. He will smile toler-
antly and think you are a sap.
With your drive, your success
in Texas is assured. At the
height of that success, you take
a trip back home. You rush out
to see old friend, to give them
the glad hand. The first fellow
you meet seems a bit cold, not
half as glad to see you as you
are to see him. It could not be
that he is jealous of your suc-
cess. No, impossible. He must be
worried about something. Per-
haps you were not sufficiently
interested in him, and his busi-
ness. Should you look him up
again, and ask some friendly
questions?
You meet some other friends,
and they are all alike, lacking
i n warmth and friendliness.
None of them have done as well
as you, doubtless due to the
stiff competition in that country.
But they should not resent your
success. No, 'jealousy was not
the answer. But what?
Disappointed in your vaca-
tion, you return to Texas, and
feel a glow at the prospect of
getting back into the old har-
ness. Your Texas friends and
acquaintances welcome you
back, give you the glad hand;
they say they missed you, ask
interesting questions, hope you
had a nice trip. You are grate-
ful for their interest, flattered
by their warm welcome.
Alone, you ponder. What was
the matter with the old friends
back home? Don’t you know?
They are the way you used to
be. You are a Texan now!
comes the sound of music—and
you look through a fringe of trees
and see, in a park bandstand,
an Army band.
Hot Springs has facilities for
31,000 visitors, declares Miss Alta
Smith, of the Chamber of Com-
merce, who for years has ably
publicized the city'js many at-
tractions. But the races were
in progress and -finding accom-
modations for the wife, her
mother and myself was a prob-
lem—which Miss Smith solved
by appealing to a former Tex-
an, Vance Bryan, who used to
run a big trucking business out
of Kilgore and now is owner of
the Jack Tar Court Hotel, favo-
rite stopping place for famous
athletes, big business men and
movie stars—the most luxurious
quarters I’ve ever seen.
To sum up the swirl of im-
pressions of the three days: Hot
Springs seems a gigantic fair,
colorful fiesta, a perpetual holi-
day where everyone is having
a great time.

Everybody has heard of “In-
dian summer,” that idyllic per-
iod when the heat of summer is
past hnd the air is soft and mild
and the trees are red and yel-
low. But have you ever heard
of “blackberry winter”? So many
people in Texas hadn’t that your
columnist checked up with Aunt
Agnes while back in Tennessee
and she said there was such
a season; it’s a cool snap that
comes about th“e time that black-
berries ripen.
Have you ever been to Hot
Springs, Arkansas?
It’s not so far from us Tex-
ans—325 miles from Fort Worth
—less than from Wichita Falls to
San Antonio for instance, and
Texas folks think nothing of a
drive like that.
Your columnist visited Hot
Springs recently—and it was a
most enjoyable experience. All
activities seem to center on the
main street because the city
is in two sections which are
connected only by that one
thoroughfare, so closely do the
mountains press at the midway
point.
And such a main street! On
one side is bathhouse row,
palaces of stone in a setting of
trees and velvety lawns, and
in the distance the vast struc-
ture which is the Arlington
Hotel; on the other side of the
street, shops with displays of
laces, jewelry and curios. People
from every state in the Union
saunter in a leisurely manner
along the sidewalk. Incidentally,
Texas ranks second for out-of-
state visitors, Illinois being first.
There are sight-seeing buses
drawn up at the curb, and there
is a shooting gallery on that
main street—the targets are a-
gainst the side of a mountain.
One spot was blasted out of
solid rock to make room for a
filling station and nearby is a
bus stop which is only a few
paces from a ledge of rock under
which one can take refuge fropi
rain.
Over yonder is an ancient
two-seated carriage, the kind
the governor used to ride in
when there was a parade when
you were a boy; and the old
driver is wearing a high top
hat. Honeymooners go for a
drive in the quaint vehicle, and
of course have their picture
taken. From somewhere there
