Short February
Packed With
Plentiful Foods
College Station, Jan. 30. —
Though short in days, Febru-
ary will be packed with a full
measure of plentiful foods, as
designated by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture for local
markets.
It’s a pleasant assortment of
nine highly menuable items,
says the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service.
Logically enough, red tart
cherries head the list. They’re
a “must” for Washington’s
birthday and Valentine’s- Day
cherry pies. They’re convenient
to use and always economical.
Supplies are heavy.
Sweetpotatoes are a special-
feature plentiful in this area.
Colorful sweetpotato dishes,
from main fare to dessert, make
this an ideal food for grey Feb-
ruary days. Growers in some
production areas, including East
Texas, find themselves with al-
most twice as many sweetpota-
toes on hand as normal. Con-
sumers will do well to take ad-
vantage of the abundance.
Other February plentiful
foods include eggs, winter pears,
carrots, potatoes, canned corn,
peanuts and peanut products,
and dry peas and beans of sev-
eral varieties.
USDA’s Agricultural Market-
ing Service selected these nine
foods for the February list be-
cause supplies of each are ex-
pected to exceed normal trade
needs. Consumers will find it
profitable to buy and serve
these items often because abun-
dance usually means better
quality and lower prices.

Polled Hereford
Sale February 12
In San Antonio
The South Texas Polled
Hereford Association holds their
annual sale in conjunction with
the San Antonio Livestock Ex-
position on February 12th at
1:00 p.m. Wilton Steubing, sales
manager, said that 60 bulls and
females, stall and pen lots
would be offered at auction
with Col. Walter Britten as
auctioneer.
“The Polled Hereford auction
has grown steadily and today
the sale is one of the highlights
of the San Antonio show,” said
Steubing. “Our sales committee
has been guaranteed top bulls,
females and pen lots, all regis-
tered, that have been entered in
the show. These Polled Here-
fords will help ranchers and
stockmen in the coming years
with a preferred breed of cat-
tle.”
The sale will be held at Joe
Freeman Coliseum and sales
catalogs are available from the
Association at Route 10, Box
178, San Antonio, Texas.

The Peach Creek Philosopher Refuses
To Discuss Weather, Switches To
Television Situation In Africa
The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner apparently is try-
ing to get his mind off the
weather, his letter this week in-
dicates.
Dear editar:
With one Canadian blast of
cold air after another coming
down on us during recent
weeks, you’d think we’d been
sending foreign aid up there
and had suddenly stopped, but
I’ve heard so much about the
weather lately I don’t intend to
discuss it.
What I have in mind this
week is the television situation
in Africa.
According to an article I read
in a newspaper last night which
I had planned
to wrap a water
pipe with but
never did get
around to and
it’s too late
now, television
is now showing
up in darkest
Africa and the
people like it, especially West-
erns. But the trouble is there
aren’t many sets in the country.
As the article explained, “the
reason is simple—with an aver-
age income of less than $100 a
year, it is difficult for an Afri-
can to purchase a TV set, even
with time payments.”
I don’t understand this. I’ve
never seen a budget yet so
small a television set couldn’t
be squeezed out of it, although
I’ll admit a hundred dollars a
year is a mighty small budget.
The trouble with the Africans
is that they don’t understand
high finance. Take the United
States. We understand it.
Washington expects an income
of around 90 billion dollars this
year, but it intends to spend a
hundred billion.
If Washington can spend 10
billion dollars it doesn’t have,
why can’t an African spend $10
he doesn’t have and buy a tele-
vision set? Although, I’ll admit
it might be hard to buy a TV
set for $10 a year.
To tell you the truth, I don’t
see how Washington can spend
ten billion it doesn’t have, but
on the other hand I don’t see
how an African can live on $100
a year. It just must not cost
much to operate a car in that
country.
Yours faithfully,

vented the barometer in 1643.

Temple Lumber Co.
To Hold Annual
Managers' Meet
Houston, Texas. — Temple
Lumber Company has chosen
Corpus Christi as the site for its
annual managers’ meeting, it
was announced today by of-
ficials in Houston.
Corpus Christi was chosen
because of its attractive vaca-
tion atmosphere and the friend-
liness of the city, it was stated.
Temple Lumber Company has
a yard in Corpus Christi. Scotch
Investment Company, develop-
er of Emerald Cove in Corpus
Christi Bay, is an affiliate of
Temple Lumber Company.
Latane’ Temple, president of
Temple Lumber Company, is
chairman of the board of Scotch
Investment Company.
Temple Lumber Company is
Comprised of thirty-five retail
lumber yards spread over most
of Texas and in addition has a
wholesale department and two
jobbing divisions.
It is a custom of the forty-
nine - year - old Houston-based
company to select each year an
attractive site in which to bring
the managers of each yard and
division and their five district
managers together with head-
quarters staff personnel to
hammer out programs for better
serving the building market
during the year ahead.
District Manager Tom Keeler
and local manager James Parr,
both of Corpus Christi, will act
as hosts for the session.
Featured on the 1963 program
to be held at Sandy Shores
Motor Hotel on February 15 and
16 will be Claude Huckleberry,
president of Texas Gypsum
Company of Irving, Texas, near
Dallas, and Shelton Boyce,
president of Scotch Investment
Company. Texas Gypsum Com-
pany is also an affiliate of Tem-
ple Lumber Company and
manufacturers dry wall sheath-
ing products.
Huckleberry will speak on
products of Texas Gypsum’s
new plant in Irving and sales
policies relating to lumber
dealers.
Boyce will speak to the more
than fifty Temple managerial
personnel on present projections
for Emerald Cove and the pos-
sible effect it might have on the
Coastal Bend area where four
of Temple’s thirty-five yards
are located. Emerald Cove is
Scotch’s designation for the
land in Corpus Christi Bay
which Scotch acquired from C.
G. Glasscock last September.
Attending from Temple’s
yard at Avenue C at 7th Street
in Shiner, will be Frank Streng.

COMMENTS FROM
9th TEXAS DISTRICT
January 24, 1963
Dear Neighbors:
Starting earlier in the winter
and before the new Congress
convened the Cotton Subcom-
mittee has been holding hear-
ings in Washington. Their find-
ings should shortly be crystal-
ized and the results made
known to the Congress and the
public. I haven’t seen even a
rough draft of the proposals but
I have heard them widely dis-
cussed. I have a hunch that the
new Bill will contain some ex-
tremely desirable changes. It is
a foregone conclusion that the
farmer will be taken care of.
The ultimate processor will also
be protected in such a manner
that he can compete with for-
eign production and with syn-
thetics. I believe the way will
be opened for a return to the
orderly marketing procedure
which has been lacking in re-
cent years and which has dem-
oralized the cotton business to
a dangerous degree.

The fifteen Democratic mem-
bers of the Ways and Means
Committee serve as what is
known as the “Committee on
■Committees” for our Party. As
soon as we are elected by our
caucus, we undertake the cri-
tically important job of assign-
ing new members to the com-
mittees on which they can best
serve. We also re-assign old
members to new committees in
accordance with their desires
and available vacancies.
I sat through every minute
of the deliberations which have
just ended. At no time did the
Administration undertake to in-
fluence the decisions of the
Committee or its members. The
results which were announced
last Thursday reflect the con-
scientuous efforts of as repre-
sentative a group as you can
find in the Congress.
Of particular interest to a
great many people is the House
Committee on Un-American
Activities. I recommended that
the Honorable Joe Pool, new
Congressman-at-Large, be as-
signed to this Committee and
I am glad to report that our
members agreed with me.

Watching the squabbles of the
Communist Party conclave in
East Berlin and noting how
they are bickering I feel like
saying “sick ’em” and encourag-
ing them to eat each other up.
While we watch hopefully for
signs of further split among the
Communist Nations we must
recognize that we too have dif-
ferences of opinion among our
Free Nations and we should not
let the apparent friction lull us
into any complacency whatso-
ever. The foe we face is the bit-
terest and most dangerous of
any in the history of the world.
I was impressed that the
President in his State of the
Union Message, while his out-
look for the future is hopeful
and optimistic, still, he takes a
very realistic view of the dan-
gers which will confront us for
a long time to come.
It is encouraging to note that
Khrushchev told the Chinese
this week that the United States
has .the greatest buildup of nu-
clear weapons in the world and
that we could, if necessary, wipe
out the Communist Nations.
This was a definite warning to
the Chinese not to try to con-
quer us by force of arms and it
indicates decisively that the
tremendous cost of building this
armament is worthwhile.
January 30, 1963
The President’s tax proposals
are now before the Congress.
Next week , the Ways and
Means Committee, on which I
represent you, will start hear-
ings which will undoubtedly
last for many weeks.
First, we listen to the testi-
mony of the Administration
spokesmen — The Secretaries
of Treasury, Commerce, and
Labor. Then will come a long
list of witnesses from various
organizations and then business-
men and others who may wish
to testify.
The President’s message on
the subject included not only
a cut in all phases of income
tax but also some so-called tax
reforms. It will take a long
time to analyze the intent and
the reaction, particularly to
these reforms. At the moment
they are getting the .greatest
amount of opposition. There is
a new formula for oil depletion
which doesn’t suit the Industry
at all. There are what appear
to be restrictions on charitable
contributions and other items
which are normally tax de-
ductible. You can see why we
face a long and stormy series
of hearings. However, I trust
that the witnesses will be able
to show me how we can cut
taxes and thereby increase busi-
ness in the country sufficiently
to offset the loss in revenue.
I am open minded and as the
hearings unfold I look forward
to letters from you.

Last week, I notified all can-
didates for the service acade-
mies of the outcome of the com-
petitive examination. A total of
thirty qualified for further ex-
aminations for the Air Force,
Naval, and Merchant Marine
Academies. I had no vacancies
for the Military Academy this
year. It is interesting that thes\-
thirty nominees come from ten
of our fifteen 9th District coun-
ties. Five counties had no ap-
plicants. Some came from public
schools and some from paro-
chial. It speaks very well for
the educational system of the
State of Texas to note the wide
distribution of successful can-
didates.
These young men will hear
next from the service acade-
mies of their choice. I urge on
them that no matter if they do
not hold a principal or a high
alternate position, they take the
examination anyway. It is very
seldom that I have had a young
man pass the entrance exam-
inations, both mental and phy-
sical, and then be unable to find
a vacancy for him sooner or
later. Those who do not qualify
can try again another year pro-
vided they are still within the
age limit of 21 years.

Starting February 7th, we
salute the Boy Scouts of Am-
erica on their 53rd Anniver-
sary. During the war I sat with
several hard-bitten boards of
Marine Corps officers and in-
terviewed applicants for com-
missions from the enlisted men
of the Corps. Invariably we ask-
ed each one whether he had
been a Boy Scout and, if so,
whether he held any of the high
ranks and had assumed leader-
ship responsibilities. If so, we
were favorably impressed. I do
not recall a single case where
an Eagle Scout failed to make
the grade and to become a cap-
able officer. Lots who did not
attain that high rank were good
but the Eagle Scouts were par-
ticularly so.
I have a hunch that if there
were more Boy Scouts there
would be fewer juvenile delin-
quents for the older folks to
grumble about.
So, hats off to the Boy Scouts
and my special affectionate
greetings to the Cub Scouts,
one of whom will come to my
office next week to pin the
Scout Emblem on my lapel and
to invite me to participate in
the ceremonies incident to their
53rd Anniversary.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson
