GRAHAM DAILY REPORTER. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 15. iMt
Jlgtorcycles Are
Being Replaced
\ By Kilocycles
Kilocycles have practically replac-
ed motorcycles in the pursuit of
southwestern criminals.
The 600-watt unit, operating on
a special state police band of 1650
kilocycles, is the finished product of
efforts started four years ago when
the Texas Bangers, Highway Patrol
and other (rime detection bureaus
were merged into the Department
of Public Safety, Director Homer
Garrison, Jr., said.
^X*P*We of blasting through the
fw wares to every police car in
the Southwestern states the new
radio station—identified as KTXA—
is expected to be insrtumenta! in
cutting off the escape of fugitives,
particularly bank robbers, killers
aim Jail breakers. Two hundred
(*wrlnty-flve state and hundreds. of
lctal police cars in Texas are equip-
pld with receivers tuned to KTXA.
In recent tests the station played
an important part in the capture of
three escaped convicts and a bank
bandit. Garrison said.
Highway Patrolman R. G. Wilkins,
state police radio technincian, and
Patrolman A. L Stubblefield will
conduct the broadcasts from Camp
Mabry where the 150-foot vertical
antenna and power station are lo-
cated adjacent to State Police Head-
quarters. Broadcasts of importance
generally to police of five states
will be conducted daily at 8:45 and
10:46 p. m. New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Louisiana state police
are included in the network.
Garrison said KTXA will contin-
uously monitor police broadcasts
from Oklahoma City, Little Rock,
Ark., Dallas, Houston, McKinney,
Gainesville. Longview, Tyler, Den-
ton, Lufkin, Waco, San Antonio,
San Angelo, H Paso, Wichita Palls
and Marshall.
THE HICK TOWN
The so-called hick town has ever
been a source of Inspiration to our
professional humorists. A hick town,
they say, is a place where a back-
fire is never mistaken for a pistol
shot, where bedtime is orthodox;
where woodpeckers eat up the de-
pot, where “central” can tell you
whether it was a boy or a girl;
where the neighbors will supply you
with a conscience if you lack one;
where there is no parking problem;
where a curfew disturbs the resi-
dents’ rest; where fine-cut tobacco
is no handicap socially, and so on.
With no intention of becoming
terribly heavy over the matter, we
want to add that a hick town is a
place where 27 out of 31 presidents
were bom and where seven out of
nine of the immortals in our hall
of fame originated. A hick town
that didn’t have a name produced
Lincoln. Hick towns gave us most
of our great literary figures of the
past and practically all of those now
living. Hick towns produce our
Kdisona. SME
If we may, then we would like to
suggest that a hick town is a place
where s boy has an excellent founda-
tion for future greatness.—Let’s
stay.—Plano Star-Courier.
The “Art” Of
Killing Men
An exchange remarks: “It is won-
derful what progress men have made
in the art of killing each other.”
No, that is one thing in which prog-
ress has not been made. In one bat-
tle fought between the ten revolt-
ing tribes of the Israelites and the
two tribes remaining loyal to the
king of Judah, half a million men
in ^ust ONE of the opposing armies
were killed in a single day. No,
we haven’t made any advance in
tW.art of killing men. More than
a thousand years ago an Flastern
conqueror built a pyramid of the
skulls of men his army killed in one
battle. The pity is not that we
have made no progress in killing,
but that we have made but little
progress in our efforts to prevent
I killing.—Ashley Evans in McKinney

About Loafing,
Not Business
Many a morning I indulge in loaf-
ing. After industriously assimilat- ,
lng the previous day’s happenings j
throughout the world, I often ait
idly on a lawn chair, and enjoy im- •
mensely doing nothing but looking
at the surrounding flowers, fields
and woods. Sometimes I have the
feeling that 1 am playing hooky, do-
ing a little cheating, that I am tak-
ing time off and letting the world
go by, instead of hurrying into the
thick of things. Then, again, the
feeling frequently is that this is
really living, that a pause for calm,
tranquility, reflection, is good for
one’’* mind, body, soul,
“The world is too much with us;
late and soon, getting and spending,
we lay waste our powers,” said
Wadsworth. This is especially true
in these feverish, frightful days. I
dread arriving at the obituary page
in the morning newspapers, so pain-
fully often do I learn of the untime-
ly passing of friends who were ex-
clusively engrossed in the storm and
stress of affairs. I find myself
asking as I ait reveling in the beau-
ties of nature—and in loafing—
whether at least some of these dy-
namically busy business men whose
hearts give out or who are suddenly
carried off by pneumonia or other
aickneaa, might not have lasted
longer and derived more from life
if they had learned to let up occa-
sionally, learned to play hooky for
a brief spell several days s week,
and cultivated capacity to enjoy oc-
casional vacations.
Maybe my philosophy is wrong
when I tell my sons that they should
devote themselves primarily to “get-
ting on” in the first half of their
life, but that, later, they should, if
possible, take s rational amount off
from earning a living to just live.
