vived the musical feature of his Sab-
bath radio broadcast, absent for sev-
eral weeks.
The dulcet tones of Home Sweet
Home; When You and I Were School
Day Sweethearts, I Love you Truly
and a bit of sacred music took the
spotlight as the chief executive em-
ployed the muses to supplement
homilies advocating the need of reli-
gion in solving the problems of state.
He said he referred to religion in the
broad meaning, "not in any narrow
sense or with relation to any particu-
lar creed or sect.”
His nearest approach to politics
was an admonition that “the small
organized minority should not feast
at the expense of the unorganized
masses.’’
Referring to the duties necessary
to secure the rights of American
life, the Governor paid tribute to
Bill Brunt, Cherokee County sheriff
who was killed in line of duty.
“May his supreme sacrifice cause
all of us to burn with a more deter-
mined effort to finish what he had
started," the Governor said. “It is
high time that lawlessness be en-
tirely abolished when it is running
so rampant in Texas that our splen-
did officers of the law are killed on
the public highways in the perform-
ance of their duties."
On occasion he had to cope with
opposition rn his own state delega-
tion. „ .
In a session-ending speech to the
House Saturday, Raybum discussed
the "arduous and onerous position I
have occupied.”
“I nave had my disappointments,"
he said, “but I have had no heart-
aches. Men on that side of the aisle
(rfnd he turned toward the Repub-
licans) I expected to vote against
the position I took when
matters were involved.
“My heart has not ached, but I
have been disappointed many times
when some members on my aide of
the aisle did not see things exactly
as I saw them."
One of his biggest jobs was to get
Democrats to attend the House ses-
si<pis. Frequently, on secondary mat-
ters, Republicans thwarted the more
numerous Democrats simply because
the latter were away.
“That,” said Raybum, “was be-
cause the Republicans had no errands
to run for their constituents—min- ‘i
nority parties never have to do that
—while our fellows sometimes had
important appointments with Cab-
inet officers in the middle of the af-
ternoon when we needed them most."
The Democratic leader disclosed
he had had a hunch that the adminis-
tration would be defeated on the
neutrality and housing issues, but
that on the lending bill he hadn’t
beer. so sure.
Referring to the chamber’s refusal
to consider the latter, he exclaimed:
“Dam it, I wanted the House to
vote on that.”
last Saturday afternoon by
2:00 o’clock the banner and all pen-
nants had been awarded and the F. Early
F. A. members who had been with
us for three days were ready to re-' .
turn to the respective homes. In the (
various contests held during the en-
campment, Lometa took first place, 1
and the banner for all-round cham-
pions with a total of 168Mi points
and Lampasas was second with 158
points. Rochelle was third with 6414
points, Killeen fourth with 46 points,
Priddy fifth with 40 points, San
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Bullock. Saba sixth with 28 points, Goldth-
waite seventh with 20 points, Ham-
ilton eight with 5 points, and Tem-
ple, Hamilton, and San Saba enter-
tered only a few of the contests and
only a total of three men each.
Lometa took first place in track
and field, tennis, basketball, and
softball. Lampasas took first place
in swimming and diving, water-polo,
rowboating, and in boxing. Goldth-
waite took first place in washer and
horseshoe pitching and Rochelle took
first place in volleyball.
There were a total of 92 visitors
for the encampment but several
were here only for a day or a night.
Each and all report a wonderful time
and a busy encampment.
We wish to extend our thanks to
the Chamber of Commerce and the
City Council for the use of Hancock
Park, the pool, the gym, and other
privileges. We extend our thanks to
Rice and Rothman for the use of
boats.
Dad Smith of the Hostess House
was rather doubtful of the conduct
of the boys before they came but all
boys who were entertained in the
Hostess House and pool wish to ex-
press their appreciation to Dad and
Mother Smith for their wonderful
attitude as hosts to the visiting chap-
ter members. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
as well as Mr. and Mrs. Logan, all
of whom knew the boys from first
to last, are complimentary toward
the boys and their advisers. All ex-
press It about like this: “A sweeter
grpup of boys or young men would
be hard to find." The boys say that
if all people were as genial in their
attitude toward visitors as these four
are then the world would be a great
pblCP in which to live. '
The visiting advisers and' chapter
members expressed their apprecia-
tion of the local chapter president,
Pat Goodwin. Clementine Abney, the
sweetheart of the local chapter, and
Mrs. C. A. Wilkins, chapter mother,
are to be complimented for their sup-
port. Clemintinc ,has proved her
worth as n chapter sweetheart many
