of the meet serious problems fac-
ing Texas today. The State Hos-
pital Board is now preparing the
budget for the next biennum. It
wiU approximate about $25 million
dollars for each of the two years.
Funds for the operation a*d main-
tenance of these institutions is
provided out of appropi iations
made by the legislature.
IF ALL the cities sod towns
of the cootry. end every
other subdivision of the govern-
ment. would quit calling oa
Washington for financial aid <m
their numerous building projocts
—and the government la tern
would stop its program of waste
and extravagance — then we
could make s good start toward
paying out national debt. U
looks liko everybody wonts tkis
sort of a policy started—except
ia their own home communities.
CPHE nest four weeks will be im-
portant for the candidates.
The primary election will be held
Saturday, July 26th. Whatever is
done in the way of vote getting
will have to be taken care of soon.
We would like to sugest to voters'
that they refrain from any form
of sldnder or unjust criticism in
their efforts for their favorite
candidate. There’s nothing wrong
with being for some certain candi-
date. That’s the only way it can
“agin” some man or woman. This
newspaper, far example, will lend
its support to Governor Allan
Shivers for re-election because we
believe him to be the best man for
the place. However, in that posi-
tion we certainly have no just
cause or good reason to unduly
castigate the opposing candidate.
Everybody should stand for some-
thing and try to find the right way
in their thinking. Support your
candidate with all the eagerness
and enthusiasm you can generate.
At the same time keep in mind
that most of the oposing men and
women are people of good standing
and usually of character. More-
over, it might be well to remem-
ber that we all can’t see eye to
eye on any proposition. There have
been differences of opinion for a
long time—and always will be.

Philosophical Essay, from
“Frontier Postmasters" book. It
seems to me It is wisdom that is
old as time itself to not associate
wKh evil companions. There is no
happiness like that which comes
with the approving voice of
clean conscience. When we have
said or done something that has
helped another person, by so doing
W have made ourselves better.
And I have an idee many of those
you end I know on the last great
.dap ■» . . the recorder of *11 good
deeds will say, “Well done good
and faithful servant, enter thou in-
to the joy of thy Lord."
