YOAKUM MERCHANT
RETURNS FROM NEW
YORK BUYING TRIP
W. T. Browning of the
Browning Clothing Co. return-
ed Sunday night from the
spring buying convention of the
Affiliated Clothiers held in
New York City.
Mr. Browning reports that
there is considerable confusion
and uncertainty in the woolen
clothing industry due to the
sharp advance in the prices of
wool and to the large purchases
by the government of yardage
for uniforms for the Army and
Navy. He stated that last week
the government let contracts
for seventeen million yards of
uniforms goods. These orders
will keep many mills busy work
ing three eight-hour shifts for
the next six months. This, he
says, will have considerable to
do with delivery to piece goods
for spring clothing to be put
to civilian uses. Mr. Browning
also stated that it is always
sound policy to place advance
orders for a reasonable amount
lace over pink satin. A wed- of merchandise for any season,
ding cake, topped with a min- but that in order to insure early
iature bride and groom, center-
ed the board.

against price advances, this sea
son advance buying in certain
lines is almost imperative.
The round trip to the conven-
tion was made by plane. Mr.
Browning left here last Sun-
day morning and returned this
Sunday night. This was his first
long trip by air and he found

C. He landed at La Guardia Air
Port in New York in time for
him to attend the convention
dinner that night. Flying time
going was 10 hours and 50
minutes. The trip from Nash-
ville to Washington carried him
over the Smokey and Blue
Ridge Mountains and revealed
many interesting and beautiful
views. He says the planes gen-
erally fly around 6 to 10
feet above sea level. When
asked about the cost of the
trip by plane, Mr. Browning
stated that when everything is
considered the cost is not very
much higher than by any other
mode of transportation.
Returning home, he came by
a different route, leaving New

a distance of 747 miles in 4

SHINER HIGH SCHOOL
NEWS
I’M GLAD I’M AN
AMERICAN
During my years in school,
a visitor once came to deliver
a speech. In his talk, he asked
the students what they thought
was the most valuable thing in
the world. The answer was
‘‘Life.” I agreed with him, but
recently, I’ve begun to ques-
tion this. I’d limit this a little
and say, “Life in America is
the most important thing.” By
that, I don’t mean that other
lives are worthless, but the peo
pie often don’t have the power
to make their lives valuable.
Life in many European coun-
tries at present doesn’t seen
very promising. There your
life depends upon the mercy of
someone else. You have no
choice in the matter. Your life
becomes a routine, regardless
of how cruel it may be, you
are allowed very few privileges
if any. You live according to
the dictates of a ruler, right or
wrong, just or unjust.
To me, life is something di-
vine, given to me as a gift from
God, and should not be ruled
by anyone else. The most pre-
cious and valuable possession
any American has, whether he
admits it or not, is his Ameri-
can citizenship. He is at liberty
to do as he pleases, so long as
his actions do not interfere with
the rights of someone else. No
one can take this privilege
away from him unless he abus-
es it.
That alone is very precious
to have. However, God has
been gracious and has given
Americans more. In return we
should be thankful and take
care of our possessions. He has
given America unlimited nat-
ural resources. He has made
America a vast stretch of land,
so large that people are not
crowded as in other countries.
We Americans have lost our
sense of proportion and do not
realize this, because our life
is filled with luxury and ease.
The founders of this country
knew what it meant to have
the ruler’s soldiers walk in and
confiscate their home, mill, or
goods. They understood that
unless property was protected
as was life, life would soon be-
come the property of force.
Then they established govern-
ment by law, and not govern-
ment by force.
To America have come the
peoples of all nations, bringing
with them the best of their
countries. In my opinion, this is
one reason why America is so
great, it has combined the best
of all countries to make one
great nation. Today Americans
live, not as individuals of their
original nationalities, but

Flying time for the return trip
was 1 hour and 55 minutes
longer than going due to a
slightly longer route, but main
ly to flying against a south
wind. He says that stops were
only for 5 to 10 minutes and
that printed schedules were
followed. All meals were served
aloft. Fortunately, good wea-
ther was maintained through-
out the trip.

The Mexican Supper on Oct.
24 proved to be a great suc-
cess. A high was reached in

taken. '
The menu consisted of tam-
ales, chili con carne, cole slaw,
pickles, beans, bread, coffee or

in Beethoven Hall which was
decorated very appropriately.
The waitresses served very
satisfactorily. The supper was
