Ramsey found considerable in-
terest in his program for economy
in government, blacktop roads to
every farm home, soil and water
conservation and rural telephones
at reasonable rates.
Ramsey, a 46-year-old country
lawyer from San Augustine in East
Texas, has been conducting soil and
water conservation experiments on
his own farm near' San Augustine.
Several classes of students study-
ing conservation have visited the
farm to observe the results of the
experiments.
Ramsey is campaigning for the of-
fice of lieutenant governor, the pre-
siding officer of the state Senate,
on the basis of his experience. Ram-
gey served in both the House and
Senate before he became Secretary
of State, a position he resigned in
February in anticipation of making
the race for lieutenant governor.
He was elected to the House in
131, the same year he received his
license to practice law. He served
two terms and was then elected* to
the Senate in 1941. in 1947 he was
elected president pro tern (assistant
presiding officer) by his fellow sen-
ator*, in recognition of his leader-
ship.
Ramsey retired from the Senate
in 1947 and in 1949 he was ap-
pointed Secretary of State by the
late Governor Beauford Jester.
Ramsey continued to serve ns Sec-
retary of State under Governor Al-
lan Shivers, designing in February.

from Archie. Yates, 1318 North 15th
St, Abilene, Shivers set forth in
o»-two-three fashion his views on
old-age assistance. He wrote Yates
as follow*:
“Your first question is, ‘Do you

Transfer blanks are available and
applictions for trnsfer may be
made at the county superintendent’s
office and also at the school super-
intendent’s offices. All of the ap-
plications will be given due consid-
eration.
The State will not allow any bus
duplications this school year. This
point needs to be clarified. We
speak of duplication of routes when
two or more buses provide services
to the same children when one
would be sufficient.
We think in term* of duplication
of routes when buses from two or
more district* go down the same
road picking up children in the
same district and in the same grades
and carry them to different schools.
In other words, you have duplica-
tion of routes when a bus can be
eliminated and not interfere unduly
with the transportation of children
to school.
AUSTIN, July 3.—Texas’ new
school laws, in force one year, have
j had the desired effect of providing
better education and of bringing
more children into the classroom.
Average enrollment skyrocketed
I more than 100,000, L. P. Sturgeon,
state associate commissioner of e&.
1 ucation, said here today.
1 • “A renewed interest among edu-
Icators in getting children into the
I schools, plus more attractive pro-
! grnms offered the pupils have had
the desired effect,” Sturgeon said.
“The spotlight of publicity
thrown upon the schools while new
education laws were being studied
by the public and enacted by the
last legislature has caused Texans
to take more interest in their
schools than ever before.
“An illustration of this in the
fact that in some districts members
of civic clubs have designated them-
selves as attendance officers. They
have been extremely helpful to the
school administrators in urging at-
tendance so that Texas children can
have a better education.”
Every district in the state has
waged intensive campaigns to get
children in school and keep them
there, Sturgeon said.
Schools have expanded or insti-
tuted classes in shop work to in-
terest older children.
Classes for handicapped children
have increased 50 per cent. They,
like many other special school serv-
ices, were made possible by alloca-
tion of state funds under Gilmer-
Aiken school laws.
Visual aid facilities have been
augmented, Sturgeon said, increas-
ing the interest of children in school
work.

western Shellers Association is
made up of peanut men from Texas,
Oklahoma and New Mexico.
Registration in the three day con-
vention totaled over 200. Other

plan in Stephenville, vice president,
and John Haskina, Durant, Okla.,
secretary-treasurer.
New board members are:

puny, Dallas; Charles S. Matthews,

Pierce Brooks. Dallas business
business man, has opened his cam-
pain for 1 ieutenant Governor with
a declaration that he is opposed
to any new taxes until tlie State’s I
financial affairs are put on n sound
and sensible business basis and
waste and extravagance arc elimi- j
nated from the operations of the
State government.
Brooks declared in liis opening
campaign address that the State is
facing the worst financial crisis in
its history.
The Dallas businessman candidate
pointed out that the cost of the
state government has increased more
than 500 percent since 1935, while
the cost of the Federal government,
aside from the cost of World War
II, did not increase that much.
“1 believe,” Brooks said, "that
through the elimination of waste
and extravagance, by spending tlie
tax dollar more wisely and by get-
ting a full dollar's value for every
dollar spent, the $500,000,000 the
State is spendin this year can buy
all needed supplies and equipment,
pay adequate salaries to all essen-
tial employees, take care of the
old folks, and provide all essential
services without any new taxes."

territory, many of the people in
that nrea like to do their trading
in De Leon. So it is important that
this matter be attended to at once.
J. I). Tate brought out the idea that
the fiscal year of the highway de-
partment began on July 1 and no
time should be lost in getting ail
the deeds with any easements nec-
essary to the department as soon as
Henry Freeman has the
to sign
Freddie
Harmon will also assist in getting
the papers signed.
It wns said that a number of
citizens along the proposed route
recognized the importance of a
paved road and were willing and
anxious to cooperate with the com-
mittee.
One man said as he signed the
deeds, this road will take a bit of
my land—but I figure the good
road will more than offset any loss
that might be mine if I still have
to stay in the mud. So that is the
story. The people want the road.
De Leon can get the road by hard
work and all planning along the
same line.

Preston Smith Visits
De Leon Friday Last
Preston Smith of Lubbock, West
Texas’ only candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor in the crowded field
of 12 office-seekers, visited in De
Leon Friday in behalf of his can-
didacy.
“I have developed what I believe
to be a sound program, one which
embraces the industrial and rural
interests of Texas—agriculture, for-
estry, livestock and coton, as well
as relief congested city areas
through betterment of rural living
conditions,” Mr. Smith said. 'Brief-
ly my program includes the follow-
ing points: Soil Conservation; Soil
Analysis Service, combined with ad-
ditional Seed Testing Laboratories;
a Ijvestock Feeding Program to en-
able fanners and ranchers to mix
their own home-grown feeds—fat-
ten their own cattle and save out-
of-state shipping charges; State In-
sect Control which will produce
more cotton per acre; Forestry Re-
construction and Rebuilding; Rural
Recreational and Cultural Program,
plus Improved Rural Living Condi-
tions.”
"1 am deeply interested in the
problems and welfare of our aged
citizens,” Mr. Smith stated. “These
old folks know already that Pres-
ton Smith is their friend.”
Mr. Smith was a recent visitor
in De Leon and paid personal calls
irl the homes of our people.
Smith is liked by all who know
