Honeycutt for the official observ-

half foot rise was noted in 24

hi
Fell Teat Yea, we know that we
have this one Item in two or three
places on the front page and more
than likely you will find remind-
ers Inside the paper. It Is very im-
portant that you buy your poll
tax go that you can vote in the
comlhg elections. The last election
held Id Gladewater saw many peo-
ple complaining that they wanted
to vote but had forgotten to pay
their poll tax. Civic organizations
are also working to instill In the
minds of citizens that they must
have two tax receipts, city and
county, In order to vote In city
elections. You are again reminded
that county and city tax offices
will remain open until 9 p.m. to-
morrow.

tery Aslociatlon ,wlll meet Tues-
day at" 2 p.m. at the home of Mrs.

Basketball Game: Sure are
hcerihf ‘plenty about the basket-
ball game to be held at the high
school gymnasium Tuesday night.
The Rotary Club has challenged
the Lion* to a cage tilt and will
give proceeds to the March of
Dime*. Can’t find out for sure
Just how admission will be deter-
mined but you can bet this will be
a hard-fought battle for the win-
ning side. . . . From the Rotary
Club Side of the fence we henr
that they have a surprise in store
for the Lions—something Just as
deadly on thr court as an atomic
blast would be in the center of
town. Sorry, Lions, couldn’t find
out any more about this part of
the game. From the Lions: Hoard
that Jackie Reeves, tall twister. Is
really begging members to at least
come Out and make an appear-
ance and also by way of the grape-
vine comes the word that Lions
have added several “monsters"
to their membership list... "moil-
steft In the form of seven-foot
;*ifts."
Regardless of who comes out on
top of tl\e scoreboard this is cer-
tainty a wonderful gesture on the
pact of the Lions and Rotary Club
members. After all, many of them
have pot played basketball for—
quite some tlmo.

A 50-man strong Lions Club re-
ceive its charter last night to be-
come »he first civic organization
in the White Oak community. A
capacity filled cafeteria at the
White Oak school saw Bill Bing-
ham, newly elected president of
the new club, take the oath of
office, and receive the charter,
along with other officers.
The dub was organized in No-
vember of 1953 by the Gladewater
Lions Club and Thursday night
guests from Longview, Greggton,
Gladewater and district officers
were present to formally initiate
the White Oak Lions into the In-
ternational organization.
Toastmaster of the occasion was
Leon Waggoner of the Gladewater
Lions Club, who was introduced
by Lion Dale Brooking, also of
Gladewater. Following the singing
of songs, led by H. D. Victory and
accompanied by Mrs. Wilson God-
frey, and the invocation by the
Rev. O. M. Griffith of the White
Oak Baptist Church, Lions and
their guests enjoyed a dinner prior
to the program.
In giving the welcoming ad-
dress, the Rev. Griffith, stated that
the event was one which the White
Oak men had long looked forward
to and extended an invitation to
all present to visit with the citi-
zens of that community at any
time.
Entertainment for the affair was
furnished by Lion Ken Bennett
and two of hjs choral students
from the Gladewater High School,
Barbara Smith and Billy Ray Ver-

Rotarians Hear Review
Of Education In Texas
GLADEWATER LION PRESIDENT J. O. Brown presented Presi-
dent Bingham of the White Oale Lions with a gong and gavel
from the Glade organization at the charter banquet Thursday
night.
Your Poll Tax
A century of progress in educa-
tion in Texas was reviewed by
Henry L. Foster, former superin-
tendent of the Longview Schools,
guest speaker for the Rotary Club
at their Thursday luncheon meet-
ing in the community building.
president, Charles McChcsaey,
presided and presented the pro-
gram chairman, Dana Williams,
who introduced the speaker. In his
remarks Williams designated Fos-
ter as a school teacher de luxe,
a home town boy who made good,
stating that he had as much to do
with education in this part of the
country as any man he knew. Fos-
ter as a school teacher deluxe,
tended public school there and was
graduated from Longview High
School.
Foster prefaced his remarks
with a brief history of the Long-
view Schools, where he entered as
a student 53 years ago, telling of
the 8-room frame building and
eight teacher*. In 1910 a modem
school was built, one of the finest
in America, but since then addi-
tions have been made until now
there are 15 buildings and 240
teachers. Longview was made an
Independent District in 1907; prior
to that time there was six months
school without students paying,
then three months when the stud-
ents paid tuition.
Thus far according to a report from the county tax
office only 1.300 county poll tax have been sold. From the
city tax office cornea the report that a total of 1,350 poll
tax have been purchased there.
Citizens, please remember that in order to be eligible
to vote in the city elections this year you must have both
these tax receipts.
For your convenience the county tax office will be
open until 6 p. m. this afternoon and will not close until
9 p.m. Saturday. The Longview office will remain open
until 12 midnight Saturday.
The city tax office will also remain open’late on
Saturday night and will close around 9 o'clock.
Don't forget to be sure that you have tax receipts
from both county and city offices so that you will be able
to vote this year. ' •
Millions of people In Communist lands are voiceless
and faceless. They go through the motions of electing
their leaders, but any deviation from the hand-picked
ticker is punishable in many ways up to and including
slavery and death.
As long as we safeguard our voting privilege by exer-
cising it. we need never fear that It will be taken away
from us. Our basic freedoms depend on the regular exer-
cise of the ballot.
Failure of a large segment of citizens to cast ballots
in elections is a grave danger. If the majority of a town's
citlsenshlp does not vote, then the majority does not rule.
If you do hot voice your opinion, whether right or wrong,
at the polls during election time, then you are not doing
your part in your community.
In our community there will he elections, both city
and county, that will affect Voters more directly than
state and national elections. Mayor, city commissioners,
school trustees and other elections will confront citizens.
So. pay your poll tax and use it.

Plan Be Turned
Over To The UN
BERUN, Jan. 29. (UR>—The
western foreign ministers, moving
to sidetrack a Soviet demand for
a world disarmament conference,
formally proposed Friday that it
be turned over to the United Na-
tions.
They introduced a resolution at
the opening of Friday's session of
the Big Four foreign ministers
meeting asking that the Soviet
proposal be referred to the UN dis-
armament commission for further
study.
French Foreign Minister Georges
Bidault introduced the Allied reso-
lution in behalf of all three west-

Soviet Foreign Minister Vya-

SEEK PERMISSION
WASHINGTON, Jan 29. (UJD—
The Federal Power Commission
was asked Thursday by the F1
Paso Natural Gas Co. for permis-
sion to build a 32'^-mile pipeline
in Texas. The utility said It wanted
to connect the Barnhart Hydro-
carbon Corp’a gasoline plant in
Reagan County with El Paso’s

“Without history no man would
know about his parents, or his
country," Foster told the group.
"No man is fit to be intrusted with
the control of the present who is
ignorant of the past Without his-
Tracing the background of edu-
cation in Texas, Foster said that
about 1836 the age and atm os
phere was right for new trends in
Texas. The state was being filled
by Anglo-Americans; the German
philosopher, Kant, had begun to
wield an international influence in
favor of “The Dignity of the Hu-
man Personality,” and the equali-
zation doctrine of the American
Constitution was budding out.
PestallozJ, the impassioned Swiss
school teacher convinced the world
that universal elementary educa-
tion was the only means for the
betterment of mankind, and Steph-
en F. Austin, Mirabeau Lamar,
Sam Houston and George Child-
ress and others taught: The phys-
ical resources of Texas are tied up
with the mental resources, and
the spiritual stand nearby.
The Texas Declaration of Inde-
pendence of March 1836 contained
this ringing proclamation: “It
(Mexico) has failed to establish
any public system of education.
People must be educated and en-
lightened to expect the continu-
ance of civil liberty or the capa-
city for self-government.”
Foster told of the early philoso-
phy of education when education
was considered a family affair and
education by the state was only for
paupers. After the home there
were private schools, church
schools, and Masonic lodge schools.
These conflicting opinions had to
be harmonized, and the Constitu-
tion of the Republic of Texas,
adopted March 2, 1836. declared:
“It shall be the duty of Congress
to provide by law a general sys-
tem of education,” and in 1854 the
school law provided for the first
State public schools system of Tex-
as. In 1854 the initial endowment
was $200,000 and the first state per
capita was 62 cents. In 1954, 100
years later, endowments were
$249,016,781, and the per capita
68.00. There were 65.463 scholas-
tics in 1854 and in 1954 there are
1,633.911 scholastics.
“We have gone from readin’.
ritin’ and ’rithmetie to relations,
living and making a living,” Fos-
ter stated, going on to say that in
school as in all other pursuits, new
models are brought out every year,
making the old ones seem obsolete.
He reminded his listeners that the
slogan this year is “Democracy in
Action." He also pointed out that
records show the public schools to
be free from Communism on a
national basis.
In conclusion Foster commend-
ed the people of Texas for the in-
terest and efforts which have
made possible the great progress
of the Texas system of public
schools during the test 100 years.
Guest were Foster. W. E. Didter,
Shreveport, La., O. A. McCright,

B. S. Masters. Kilgore; Travis Bur-
ton, Tyler, and Bog Parsons, Gil-
mer.

Wicker told the audience that
there could be nothing in the com-
munity more important than the
formation of a Lions Club. He
compared the chartering of the
club to the laying of a corner-
stone of a large building, the cere-
monies when opening a new high-
way, the launching of a submarine,
saying that the Lions organizations
are of much more importance to a
single community than any of
these.
"Everybody is somebody in the
Lions Club," Wicker emphasized.
“This spells success for a Lions
Club: the fact Jhat everybody is
somebody,” he stated. Wicker told
his listeners that the Lions Club
is the largest service organization
in the nation.
“Li on ism is on the march be-
cause service is the byword of the
organization. Lion ism is symbolic
of things which mean help to
others,” he told the group.
"We are seeking young men—
not young men in age but in spirit
—men who have drive and vision
for helping others, those who have
the spirit of conquest and will al-
ways seek to help somebody else,"
stated the district governor.
"You 50 men who have banded
together because you want to help
somebody else will be « great <

Announcements were made by
Lion C. G. Simmons and the bene-
diction was given by Lion W. A.

Lions International.
The cafeteria was decorated in
Lion Colors of purple, which is the
color signifying nobility and gold
which signifies purity. Tables were
laid with white cloths and small
pot plants were used at vantage
points along the tables. A group
of women from the First Baptist
Church served the dinner of steak
creamed potatoes, combination sal-
ad, string beans, hot rolls, coffee
and pie.
It seems there is some danger
