new arrangement, stock, fixtures
and chapel of the building re-
cently built into a Funeral Home.
Orchids were given to the first
100 ladies registering as guests.
Within 30 mnutes the 100 orchids
had been given away.
With the growth of De Leon
and the surrounding territory,
new businesses will be establish-
ed from time to time. Sharp &

Nabors have made heavy invest-
ments in the building and equip-
ment and are prepared for a high
class service.
C. H. Sharp is well known in
the undertaking business, havng
a long and successful experience
in this area. He is a well known
authority in mortuary work.
Delton Nabers is a De Leon
boy who has chosen this line of
work and has prepared himself
in all modern technicalities and
efficiency. Both these men have
many friends in this section who
wish them every success. More
, than 500 attended the open
1 house. That many weer register-
ed. It is possible that as many
as 100 failed to register because
of the rush.

representatives are basically ignorant of matters affecting their
welfare and very survival, the stage is all set for the appear-
ance of the tyrant. The proposed budget is just one more grim
example of how a nation can destroy itself from within.
Toll Roads May Become Common
Modern traffic brings up a lot of problems. Fast freight
trucks do not like to be slowed down by traffic and the con-
tinuously passing through small towns. Passenger cars seem
to want to move fast and many drivers are bothered because
of traffc and slow downs. This has given thought to toll roads.
Such roads were common in the last century. The rapid build-
ing of highways seemed to put down further construction of
such roads.
There is talk of a super highway from Dallas to Houston.
This would be built by private capital and fees charged for
travel on the road would repay the cost of of construction and
a profit. The theory* would be to charge, say one cent a mile
for small cars and up to five or six cents per mile for trucks.
If only a part of the traffic between these large cities were
to be diverted to such toll roads, investments in sue hroada
would be profitable. Feeder lines on the general plan of rail-
roads would in time be built.
Conventions Will Be May 3 and 6
Much interest has been shown in the presidential election
thi syear. No one knows wha twill be done abou tit. The
process starts May* 3 when precinct conventions will elect del-
egates to the county convention which will mee May 6. The
county convention will elect delegates to the State Convention
where the sum total of what has been done in precinct and
county convntions will be taken into consideration and the
policy and opinion of the Party will be declared. This might
turn ou| pro-Truman or anti-Truman as the delegates decide.
However, it is now time to plan to attend the precinct and
county conventions where you can be heard. These conven-
tions are the business ends of the party machinery and super-
cedes “street talk.” We should see if we can take an active
part in the conventions.
The Mocking-Bird
Former Governor Pat M. Neff pays this tribute to the
State’s official bird.
“What the nightingale is to Europe, the mocking-bird is
to Texas. He is the soulful songster of our homes, the delight-
ful serenader of our highways, the enchanting musician of our
prairies, the wonderful warbler of our woods, the tireless triller
of the day, the matchless minstrel of the night, the prima
donna of all sweset singers.
“King of songsters, queen of grace, master of music, silver-
tongued, golden-throated, myriad-voiced mocking-bird, sing
forever your cheering, spirited songs and gladden the hearts of
Texas everywhere.’’ , ... •

Tyranny Through Ignorance
One of the best signs of the times is the angry attention
that is being given to the President’s proposed budget. Indi-
viduals and newspapers the county round have been denounc-
ing it as an economic monstrosity which is practically beyond
understanding. i
As an example, the Washington Post, which has usually >
followed a pro-Administration editorial policy, demanded a bal-
anced budget without new taxes or further borrowings, and
said, “The President’s budget estimates! are almost always
wrong . . . The President, through his subordinates, is also in-
fluenced to exaggerate beyond normal error.” The Post then
advocated deferring such new proposals as Federal aid to
state educational systems, and cuts in costs all along the line.
Life strongly criticized Congress for having lost its powers
over our national purse-strings, and said, “Congress had well
better pass some self-reforming acts and give itself these pow-
ers. Otherwise the Federal budget will remain the incompre-
hensible sign of America’s creeping retreat from political self-
control to tyranny through ignorance.”
That phase, “tyranny through ignorance,” should stick in
the mind of every American who has the slightest interest in
honest, efficient government, and in the preservation of eco-
nomic and political freedom. When the people and their elected
