On July 4th, 1776, an example
was given concerning what is
needed in the world everywhere.
Just as those colonies here united,
so the people of the whole world
need to geet together in freedom
and independence
m if m ir m it m
There is no other way to estab-
lish the world peace than in the
world freedom. Especially the
backward nations need peace a-
bove all. But this will never come
under communist dictatorship.

Some of our readers are just
forgetting that no matter what
excuses are made, it's never good
to pile up all the people in big
cities — especially today when
machenization is replacing people
more and more.
m * m * m * m
Right along farmers wen* vic-
tims of tariff — selling at mark-
et prices but buying at tariff
prices. When triff was helping
industry and labor, why wasn't
something done about farmers?
m * * * * * m
Right along farmers have been
entitled to this tariff reimburse-
ment, paid in direct payments
f..*i principal crops, to keep the
fawn market free. The direct pay-
meiVs should be limited per farm,
so ntost of this money would go
to most of the farmers.
m * m it m + m
Already 70 yeans ago did Bryan
warn, “destroy our farms and
gress will grow on the streets of
your cities.” How many ghost
towns are there already? And how
many more will follow, unless
times change?
k * R * R * R
Would there be wars in this
world if rulers and governments
were denied the right to use peo-
ple for killing each other to settle
this or that trouble? Is there any
greater need in this world today?

And as the first step in that
direction, should not women
have a voice also in the nation-
al and world affairs? And are
not women entitled to this
voice?

llow many billions could be
saved from armaments and wars?
And how many millions of lives
would escape the destruction? But
there will be wars as long as
there are dictators. That ’6 how
they rule.
»★*★**»■
Like the people in Vietnam, so
also the Arabs need help to im-
prove themselves and their life.
Yet they got only the most bar-
barous war with all its destruc-
tion of lives and property.
m it m i, m it m
How many billions of dollars
have been wasted? And how much
good could have been done with
all those billions and lives now
gone.
» * R * R ♦ R
Yet there is nothing in Vietnam,
no more than in the Middle East,
that could not be settled in a
human, peaceful way. If only the
communists would leave the peo-
ple alone to live their own life.
Should not more be done about
it than has been done?

Only It's Better To Talk
This much is certain about those Johnson-Kosykin talks. It's
better to talk than to fight a war. Otherwise this will not change
anything in the communist nor our stand.
In his talk with the press Sunday night after all those talks,
Kosygin again blamed Israel for starting the war. Yet it was Nas-
ser with the Soviets behind him who threatened Israel with de-
struction, .......
Only we, too, should pull out of Vietnam. Not a word about the
Soviets pulling out of the satellite countries behind the Iron Curtain.
Whatever the agreement between Johnson and Kosygin, it could
change nothing between the two worlds.
Sinking More And More
The welfare state may sound good but it could come only
from taxes. Sweden is an outstanding example. Now their taxes a-
mount to 40 pei cent of their gross national income.
So a married Swede earning $5,000 a year pays 30 per cent of
that in income and social security taxes; a single man 37 per cent.
On incomes of $20,000 the taxes are 50 per cent for married couples,
53 per cent for single persons.
A general sales tax started in 1960 with 4.2 percent. Now it's
11 [xt cent. I idirect taxes represent two thirds of what one pays
for a gallon of gasoline. Even 80 per cent of the price of a pack-
age of cigarettes, up to 90 per cent on the price ot a bottle of
liquor. ......................
A recent study shows that a Swedish family with $3,000 income
pays 38 per cent of the taxes — Isn't it also how we are sinking
more and more? Pioneers aid most of us in our early years had
to depend only on ourselves There is nothing to regret. The more
the people get from government, the more they have to pay..

.Doggone if I didn’t think I was
submitting a "Whoozit”, that
would stump tile whole crowd,
but here comes a nice little let-
ter from our old buddie, Mr. Ar-
thur Bernard (Bumie or Bunch)
Keepers, of 10127 Tolnian, Hous-
ton, 7703-1, telling us more about
the late Mr. Henry Criswell, (the
man in question), than I knew
myself.
Here's his letter: ‘‘I just got
my Herald-Times. The first pic-
ture I saw was whoozit, Old Man
Henry Criswell, our old City Mar-
shall of Yoakum. I know you
will remember him. He was a
large man and drove a horse and
buggy. He wore a large sandy
bustache. He was nice to us kids,
hut when the curfew rang, we
had to be off the down-town
streets by 8:30 p. m. The fire-
bell sounded at 8:30 p. m., and
us kids would head for home.
When Mr. J. M. Young beat him
for City Marshall, in a way we
haled it, but Mr. Young was
strict with us boys. Mr. Criswell,
knew our dads and if we did any-
thing wrong, he would go to our
dads. 1 don't know what became
of Mr. Criswell.
Bertha, my grandson, and my-
self enjoyed the Roundup. 1 was
glad I met Mrs. Sheets, Si Bur-
leigh's daughter. She was small
when I left Yoakum. 1 ''called"
Mr. Burleigh in 1905-06, then when
I went braking for the SA&AP
I made trips with him. Well,
John, (always called me Johnt, I
got to get ready to go to Eastern
Star with the Missus. John, I
don’t write mUeh since 1 retired.
Don’t know if you can read it.
Write more next time. (Signed)
Burney, better known as Bunch.”
Many thanks Biyich, for the
nice letter. But, Bunch did you
notice what a "Faux Pas”, I
pulled in describing Mr. Criswell
as being the bravest man that ev-
er walked the plank sidewalks of
Yoakum You see. Bunch, Jetty
Clare of 1911 Elmen St.. Hous-
ton — 77019, sent me an old Yoa-
kum paper. The Yoakum Weekly
Times — Special Edition — Dated
January 1896, which contained
quite a lot of pictures of the
Yoakum old timers. This picture
was oiv* of them. And as you
know in those days, there were
lots of brave men. Just take Jim
Whittington, for example. Sure
would have hated to try and pull
a fast draw on him — wouldn’t
you ?
Another blunder I made when
f stated, "Tlx* streets of Yoakum
was no place for a lady, on Sun-
day." 1 should have said, “the
business streets'1, as all othei
parts of Yoakum was a Very
peaceful little village. The First
Baptist Church, was organized in
188!) which couldn't have been
done, according to that little er-
ror of mine — “To err is hu-
man. To forgive, divine.” — Pope.
Dktn l see my old time girl
friend, Grade Jones, as our last
Koundup. Heard later, her car,
all tile same as mine, was in the
back-simp for major repairs.
Think I have a slipped eccentric
— don't know what Grade's got.
My good friend Ben Tucker, of
Victoria, knowing of our plight,
came to our rescue by taking |
u.; over to the City Park. Had 1
known then about Grade, I'd
have toM Be:i aliout it. and I
knew he'd have rushed to her
rescue.
Speaking of our last Roundup,
as great as it was, I had the
misfortune of leaving the grounds
without one of my favorite* re-
cording ta|x*s. It was my favorite
on account it had on it, a record-
ing of a piano solo, by my sister
Lottie playing, "In The Swv*t
By and By" — in variations, and
as you know, since* recording this
tape for me she had a stroke,
from which sh“ has about fuPy
recovered blit may never to abl-‘
to play die piano again.
Should anyone become in posse-
sion of this tape. I would appre-
ciate it being turned in to the
Herald-Times olfi e. 1 probab'y
won't he there in person, but
will lx in spirit
Everybody loved Si Burleigh,

Texan To Help Build Rural
Electric Co-Op In Vietnam
Washington, D. C. — A Mar-

South Vietnam to "help pioneer
the rural electrification program
in that struggling country."
George W. Ross, Jr., 59. ve-
teran manager of the Panola Har-
rison Rural Electric* Cooperative,
volunteered for six months' duty
to work with a team of rural
electric experts supervising the

"Double Exposure*’ Wools-
Fusliloirs Camliil Favorites
NEW YORK (CFN)—With current emphasis on psyche-
delic sights and optical illusions, wool turns its talents
toward Yashions with "Double Exposure" — two ways of
being well-dressed for any singular occasion.
Fabrics lead the way with
§y^l|g|r
*p ' n
^ * *
softened focus on smooth, sup-
ple, lightweight gabardines,
twill weaves, shetlands, novel-
ty checked and striped double-
knits, and sheer, lattice-woven
pure "Naked Wools” in a
color-rush of eye-dazzling
prints on serpentine crinkled
crepe or chiffon light ehallis.
Silhouettes reflect a candid
elegance ideal for any time of
the day whether traveling to
foreign festivals or socializing
close to shore.
Just as noted actor-photog-
rapher, Roddy McDowall
catches the essence of human
character in his photographs
of well known personalities ...
so the flashbulb-essence of
fashion can be caught in a
camera’s eye when attention is
paid to deft handling of fabric
and silhouette, each with its
own meticulous detailing and
artful seam treatments ... all
captured in a simple design.
Wool’s natural affinity for
color, drape and incompar-
able quality make it the rank-
ing favorite of fashion design-
ers around the world. The
feather-weight, filmy charac-
teristics of the newest “Naked
Wools” — in both knit goods
and woven fabrics — arc cre-
ating fresh avenues to “instant-
style” for clothes-weary trav-
elers.
The pack able, stackable flex-
ibility of wrinkle-shedding
pure wool doubleknits offer
endless fashion versatility and
*'Tron-clad" security to fast-
changing business trips or va-
cation climates.
Another form of security for
consumers the world around is
the "wool mark” quality em-
blem awarded by the Wool
Bureau fo products made of
"the world’s best . . . pure
virgin wool.”
The “wool mark” Is a
graphic trefoil design consist-
ing of black lines openly
swirled in constant movement
to symbolize both the timeless-
ness of pure virgin wool and
tts modernity in the space age.
'The insignia appears on hang-
tags and labelsof merchandise
that has met strict requirement
standards of quality control
and is a consumer's assurance
that the fabric has been tested
and approved asthefinestpure
virgin wool obtainable.
Just as there are always two
ways of seeing a thing — the
best and second best —"Doub-
le Exposure” wools remain the
very best to be seen in for
catching needle-sharp fashion
at its candid finest.
Vietnam*.
A veteran of the rural electri-
fication program, Ros.s recalls the
Jays 25 years ago when he was
assistant manage) of the Pedor-
nalen Rural Electric Cooperative
which serves President Johnson's
ranch.
Ross deficrilx'd incidence* when
*: it wan quite a thrill lo set* peo-
plet getting electricity for the
the first time.”
He looks on his work in South
Vietnam in the same way —
“providing the people with one of
the necessities of modern-day
life.’'
Ross also views the effort to
establish consumer-owned and
controlled rural electric*, systems
in South Vietnam as a way of
checking the advance of commu-
nism in that country.
He asserted that the organiza-
tion of three electric cooperatives
in South Vietnam often gives the
consumer-members of these sys-
tems their first opportunity to
participate in a democratic in-
stitution since the members them-
selves, by their owtl votes, con
trol the |x>lieios and elect the of-
ficers of the cooperative.
Ross was recruited for the
South Vietnamese assignment bj
the National Rural Electric So-
oporative Association as part of
NERCA's program to “export"
the rural electric pattern to un-
derdeveloped count l ies.
The program i.s carried on un-
der a non profit contract with the
State Department's Agency for In-
ternational Development
Thus far the NRECA-AII) pro-
gram has recruited rural electric
experts to help establish and im- j
prove electric eooix'ratives in 50
Latin American and Southeast As-
ian countries. These projects will
ultimately benefit 1.25 million peo-
ple.
