Thus the people are thrown in-

Billions at dollars are bring spent on nuclear arms by both
sides — with a full knowledge that it would be a suicide tor Mb of
them to start a nuclear war.
The nucieai bomb then would fly not only from one kick will)
a destruction that cannot be even imagined. Hiroshima was only a
smal> sampit of it.
Yet Red Russia still refuses to agree to mutual inspection of a
mutual disarmament; as though the Free World sou Id trust the
Reds then.
Even Colonel Penkovskiy in his Paper declares: “Khrushchev
and his regime are demagogues and liars who are advertising their
love of peace as a pretense.”
Since World War II we alone spent over 800 billion dollars on
armaments. How much good for the people could have been done
with such money? Yet both sides keep on arming — for their sui-
cide?
Tariff, Not Slavery
As Richard Hofstadter wrote of John C. Calhoun, “It was ta-
riff, not slavery, that first made the South militant.” Slavery has
been gone for a century. But tariff is here still oppressing the South.
Only where is any militancy about it? More than a half of
farm people have lieen piled up in big cities mainly because of ta-
riff and such fam policies.
Tin ghost towns are rising, there are the idle farms here and
the idle people there Yet what is being done about it either in
Washington or here? Still is anything worse facing us?

Hot Cigarettes
Texas lias had some trouble with cigarettes brough' from near-
by states where the tax if lower, but it) New York, according to E-
ditoria! Research Reports, cigarette smuggling has become aprofit-
uble racket.
The New York “buttleggers” are in business because a pack-
aged cigarettes costs more than twice as much in New York City
a* it docs in North Carolina, where cigarettes are made.
It Ls estimated that one package out of every five are sold in
‘he metropolis is out-of-state contraband. And the tax loss to New
York City and New York Stale is estimated at 551 million for this
y< ar.
Cigarettes sell for 19 rents a pack in North Carolina, which
ones not levy a state tax. The state tax in New York is 10 cents a
pack — only a cent less than in the Texas tax—and the New York
C t.v tax is 1 rents a pack. This, we arc* told, is a situation made lo
order for the small time huttlegger. who can make a not profit of
up to $3,000 from a panel truck ful! of North Carolina’s non-taxed
cigarettes.
Smugglers, of course, ran the risk of arrest, but the penalty t
is not very severe The maximum penalty for conviction on first of-
fense — the first time caught—is a $50 fine, 30 days in jail or both, j
and for a second offender $500 tine or six months in jail.
In short, dealing in Itol cigarettes can be a fairly cool proposi-1
lion.

REMINISCING
WW. WILLIS HINDS
I’m wondering if anyone, any-
where, along the 3AAP ever
heard of a railroad telegrapher
who quit copying train orders lor
our conductors and started
preaching the Gospel. Well, there
if such a person, and he very
graciously gave the invocation, at
a late roundup Now we want to
find that man so hr can give the
invocation, at our coming round-
up. We have plenty of pastors
right around home, that would
be glad to do this for us, but if
we can we want a SAAP Veteran
to do this for us. It would seem
more appropriate. Of course in
an extreme emergency we could
use one of our former Rev. Henry
Smith's that I recorded at one of
our late roundups.
Mr. Witte and myself are try-
ing awfully hard to get enough old
SAAP and Yoakum pictures to-
gether that we may get out a
picture folder of the SAAP of
Yoakum, as we knew them many
years ago. Do wish we could
locate an old picture of the pump
house on the bank of Brushy
Creek alongside the SAAP track.
Mr. Raymond Witte and his
charming wife walked in while
writing this. We have about deci-
ded we will go ahead with what
wo have, but of course if anyone
lias something they’d like lo have

Senate Campaign Eaten Final
Two-Week; Sen. Krueger Buy
El Campo — Senator Culp Krue-
ger entered the final two weeks
of his campaign for re-election
as Senator of the 18th district
upon a high note of optimism and
confidence as he filled a heavy
schedule of appearances, as many
as six and eight o day.
Reports from campaign head-
quarters all over the 14 county a-
rea, convinced the Senator that
his forceful record as a senate
leader and his plans to construc-
tively serve the vast empire now
composing the 18th district is re-
sulting in a wholesale support of
thinking men and women in all
walks of life.

HELPING HAND
Has a bus driver hacked at you
lately? Has a trolley conductor
been rude? Complain lo the com-
l>anv or write to your newspaper
—but don’t sue. Had manners that
merely ruffle your feelings are
tv >t enough grounds for a lawsuit.
But when bad manners also
menace your safety, then the law
is concerned indeed. Suppose you
need a helping hand getting onto
nr out of a public conveyance..
You are ontith-d to have that
helping hand, not just as a matter
of courtesy hut also as a matter
of law.
Consider this case:
A young mother, carrying a
suitcase, a bundle, and a baby,
started to descend the steps of a
train. Although two railroad em-
ployee saw her struggling, they
made no move to help. She fell,
suffered injuries, and — laler-ool-
leoted damages from the railroad.
“Where personal assistance Ls
seen to be needed.” said the court
“duty demands it should be ren-
dered.”
Not rally the condition of the
passenger but also the condition
ef the stojtping place may create
a duty of assistance. Thus, a taxi-
-ab passenger won a court cast
partly because the driver let her
off—unaided—at a place where
the pavement was broken up.
Futhcrmoiv, help that is given Will Bernard.
must be given with care. When
a trolley passenger missed a de-
parting car, the conductor reach-
ed down and seized his arm- For
100 feet he dragged the reluctant
man along, trying in vain to pull
him aboard. When the conductor
finally let go, the man hit the
ground with a thud. A court held
the company liable.
On the other hand, you cannot
expect help if your need is not
evident. A woman with an arth-
ritic knee, who stumbled while
entering a bus, failed to win dam-
ages from the company. The court
noted that her handicap was not
obvious to the bus driver — and
that she neglected to ask him for
aid.
In short, while the traveling
public is entitled to a decent re-
gard tor its safety, there are lim-
its. One woman, complaining that
a trolley conductor didn’t help her
alight, based her claim on the
undeniable fact that she was fat.
But the court turned her down
with this comment:
“The mere fact that a woman
weighs over 200 pounds cannot
make it the duty of the conductor
to drop all other duties and help
her get off.”

for instance - After May 30, if you
wish to use one of the picnic tab-
les, go in swimming, use the bath-
room, at ANY of the U. S. Corps
of Eng. recreation areas on ANY
of the lakes built by them, you
gotta have a permit costing from
a low 50 cents daily permit for
an individual, to a seven buck
year annual permit for a car full.
And this, remember, in addition
to the license you are required
to have for your boat, the federal
tax you pay on fuel for same, and
a jillion and one hidden sales tax-
es the bureaucrats have dreamed
up to separate us from bur hard-
earned long green. Friend, it’s
enough to make a man want to go
fishing - in a lake the “feds”
don't have any say so over!
Don’t blame the Corps of En-
gineers! From what I see of
their construction, and the man-
ner in which the lakes under their
jurisdiction have been handled -
these people are doing a good job.
The Dept, of Interior setirfts to be
responsible for the “user fee” be-
ing brought into operation.
“So, what can we do about it?”
you ask. Fourth District Congress-
man, Ray Roberts of McKinney,
Texas and Congressman Ed Ed-
mondson of Oklahoma are still
raising more h-1 about it then the
‘gator did when the slough went
dry, by sponsoring new anti-fee
legislation and taking other ac-
tion. If you wish to help them and
for them to help you - write to^
these men and let them know you
support their efforts.
If you don’t write - it is possi-
ble you could be standing in front
of the door marked “MEN” at
a recreation area sometime with- •
out a permit in your hand. If as
a result, you must sadly turn a-
way - remember - you allowed
them to do it to you first!! •
