The publisher of the Record does not blame anyone
for disliking him; in fact he sometimes thinks they are
truly justifiable in their opinions and dislikes. But it
is amusing for a citizen to- dislike the editor so much
that he discontinues his subscription and then bothers
a neighbor who takes the paper by borrowing it each
publication day. This just goes to prove that there is
no way of estimating how many people read a news-
paper, as there are always hundreds of people who
borrow their neighbor’s papers, even though the one
borrowing is more able, financially to pay for it than
the lender. The editor of the Record is always proud
to hear of people wanting .to read the paper even
though they may have to bother a neighbor to do so,
and there is always hope that some who may dislike
the editor will in the future change and like him a lit-
tle and forgive any mistakes charged against him. And
we insist on our regular paying subscribers to con-
tinue to be kind to those who for any reason want to
borrow their paper.

The Sun extends congratulations to members of the
High School and Grammar School graduating classes
of 1940. You have reached another milestone in life’s
journey, and your successful negotiation of life’s path-
way thus far is evidence of your ability to carry on in
the years to come. Some of you will go ahead in que^t
of higher learning, while others will go to work. What-
ever you do, if you will apply yourself in youi’ new
environment as diligently as you have in your school
work, you will have a full life. The Sun is particularly
interested in you, because it has chronicled your ac-
tivities in “The Reflector” and the “Glow Worm” for
so many weeks, and we want you to know that you
have our best wishes for youi' welfare in the years to
come.
for soil conservation work against his will.
The time has come when it is necessary to save our
soil if we are going to continue to produce crops from
it. Much of the top soil has already washed down the
creeks and rivers, and more of it is going with every
big rain. Some of the land in the Whitewright area
that produced good crops in the past has become so
eroded that it is practically worthless, demonstrating
what may happen to all our land if erosion is not
< checked. Soil building practices must be substituted
for the kind of farming that permits an inch or two of
top soil to wash away annually.
A few years ago Nature came to the rescue of the
washing soil in the form of Johnson grass. This grass
gained so much headway on the poorer land that much
of it was being abandoned for farming purposes,
thereby saving it for future generations. But the trac-
tor has made it possible to kill out the grass to a large
extent, and intensive cultivation is under way again,
and the top soil goes merrily down the creek with each
rain. It is tirhe to do something about it, and estab-
lishment of soil conservation districts is the first step.
While many folks are complaining that farmers are
being subsidized by the government -through parity
payments, not many of the critics think about how
farmers have been subsidizing consumers for 10 years.
Senator Lee of Oklahoma says every mouthful of
bread the consumers of this country eat was raised by
a farmer who lost money on it. During the 10 years
since 1930, farmers have failed by 20 billion dollars to
obtain parity of income with other classes. In other
words, the farmers of America have subsidized the
consumers of the nation to the tune of two billion dol-
lars a year for the last 10 years. The 212 million dol-
lars for parity payments next year is only a part pay-
ment on the farmers’ compulsory contribution to the
consumers of the nation. It is part of the money they
should have received when they sold their products.

all ports subject to blockade, he is without a single

A man’s job is his best friend. It
clothes and feeds his wife and chil-
dren, pays the rent, and supplies the
wherewithal to develop and become
cultivated. The least a man can do in
return is to love his job. A man’s job
is grateful. It is like a little garden
that thrives on love. It will one, day
flower into fruit worth while for him
and his to enjoy. If you ask any suc-
cessful man the reason for his mak-
ing good, he will tell you that first
and foremost it is because he likes his

News dispatches quote high Nazi officials as saying
that Chancellor Hitler has planned and directed the
German attack on every front since the Polish cam-
paign last fall. Abandoning traditional methods
against which the Allies had prepared a traditional
system of defense, Hitler has crossed up the defenders
by doing the opposite of what, they expected, and his
methods have been astoundingly successful thus far.
No longei’ is a defending sector warned in advance
by a.big-gun barrage that an attack is impending; the
newer barrage is by parachute troops dropped behind
enemy lines to disrupt communication lines, burn oil
supplies and destroy ammunition dumps. Then fol-
lows a charge of huge tanks to crash holes in defense
lines that are being harassed from abovh' by bombing
planes.
So well trained are the Nazi pilots, according to
correspondents at the front, that they make pilots of
English and French planes appear as amateurs. The
lightning war of the Nazis has moved with such speed
that Allied armies have been disorganized, and unless
they can be reformed and make effective counter at-
tacks soon, the invaders appear to have a good chance
of winning the war in short order.
In that event, Hitler will be supreme dictator of
Europe, with every European nation under his con-
trol, including Russia. Informed sources say that Rus-
sia capitulated to the Nazis during the Finland cam-
paign, when Stalin made a second treaty with Hitler
that virtually gives Hitler dictatorial powers over
Russia, and that German industrialists have taken over
and are reorganizing Russia’s industries.
Under such a set-up, Hitler would be
powerful ruler the world has ever known, and he
could exert a powerful influence over world trade and
, world peace. Nobody knows whether he. would stop
his campaign of aggression. It is certain that he would
not be friendly toward the United States of America,
because he knows that all our sympathies have been
with the victims of his inhuman conquests. Therefore,
the least this country can afford to do is build a mili-
tary machine capable of protecting us should the oc-
casion ever require it.

BERLIN.—Nazis claimed Sunday
night that a powerful flame-thrower,
which may be Adolf Hitler’s boasted
secret weapon, has been perfected to
melt the strongest links of the French
Maginot Line when the time comes to
smash them.
The flame-thrower was said to be
capable of generating heat of 2,000
degrees centigrade, which, when di-
rected against, apertures and gun
muzzles of enemy forts, renders the
guns useless and sizzles troops inside
the pillboxes.
The advanced types of flame-
throwers, it was claimed, already
have been tried out successfully
against the Belgian fort of Eben
Emael on the east bank of the Albert
Canal, just north of Liege and in
long experimental operations behind
the western front.
The Maginot Line can be cracked
despite French claims that its key
forts are impregnable, Nazi leaders

KANSAS CITY. — How does it
seem to suddenly to gain sight after
having been born blind?
“It like to drove me crazy!” ex-
claimed 21-year-old George Camp-
bell of Oklahoma City. “It really was
a thrill.”
The first thing he saw was a pret-
ty nurse.
“She seemed impossible and she
had great big brown eyes. How they
sparkled!”
And then he saw himself—
“The first time I looked in a mirror
I didn’t know whether to cry or run.
It was the first time I had known
what the world thought of me.”
Campbell was blind until he was
18. Then a cataract operation en-
abled him to see. In three years his
eyes have become so strong he can
read six and a half hours daily with-
out strain.
Two hundred delegates to
Heart of America Optometric
gress gave Campbell an ovation after
he described his experiences Monday
night.

“Horn honking,” according to Todd
Stoops, secretary-manager of the
club, “is becoming a greater nuisance
every day.”
“It has been said that the shortest
known lapse of time is the time it
takes the smart aleck behind you to
blow his horn after the traffic light
changes from red to green.”
Stoops was particularly concerned,
however, with the “horn . honker”
who tries to force a motorist across a
preferential street when there is no
chance to cross because of traffic
and the driver who turns right and
harasses pedestrians legally crossing
the street with the green light by
blowing his horn.
“Other horn honking pests seem to
think a traffic jam can be cleared by
loud blasts of the horn and still oth-
ers' think it will start a stalled en-
gine in the car ahead of them,”
Stoops said. “And while we are on
the subject of pests the motorist who
honks his born instead of ringing the
doorbell should not be overlooked.
“There are more than a million
new drivers every year and it is up
to the experienced motorists to ren-
dei' them every courtesy possible.
Horn honking will confuse them and
cause accidents. There is one case on
record where a woman motorist was
killed by a freight train near Michi-
-gan City, Ind., because she became
confused by honking horns behind
her.”

Liquor Law Cases
Are Heard in Court
WASHINGTON.—President Roose-
velt vetoed a $109,985,450 rivers and
harbors bill Tuesday because, he told
Congress, the War Department
should devote its energies to military
preparedness rather than non-mili-
tary activities.
The measure would have author-
ized 151 projects for the improve-
ment of rivers, harbors and othei’
navigation facilities, and would have
required the Army engineers to make
surveys of 140 other projects.
After asserting that available au-
thorizations for all these purposes
now totaled $132,973,750, which he
described as a sufficient backlog, the
President said in a message to the
House:
“With respect to the few items in
the bill that are of national defense
value, I would be glad to approve
separate legislation covering these
projects.”
After hearing the President’s mes-
sage read, Chairman Joseh J. Mans-
, field (Dem.) of Texas, of the House
rivers and harbors committee, said
the subject was dead for this session.
He termed the measure a
scientific navigation bill, but
there was no chance of passing
over the President’s veto.
The vetoed bill included the fol-
lowing projects:
Louisiana-Texas intracoastal wat-
erway $5,200,000, Houston ship chan-
nel $3,696,300, Sabine-Neches water-
way $10,000, Chocolate Bayou, Bas-
trop Bayou and Oyster Creek water-
ways $108,000; Lavaca and Navidad
Rivers $85,000, channel from the
Louisiana and Texas intracoastal
