and Houston Harte, San Angelo,

When Johnson’s name was
up, Giesecke and those who
voted against Reed voted
Johnson.
Estes, who nominated Johnson,
said he did so with no reflection
upon Reed but for the purpose of

A canvass of members before
the nominations showed that
Johnson was the choice. Chrest-

Johnson is the son of the late
Confederate '/neral Adam R.

thought to a comparison of what
hight have been if they had each
done differently . . . for instance,
if they had married other people,

So, my good friend, if you want
a career, I'd suggest that you
think of some way in which you
can work out a Joint career, mak-
ing that career an imaginary third
party, and then enter into a part-

band whereby you may both pro-
mote the career and thus prevent
the old green monster of Jealousy

"We have emerged," ho said,

“Tho outlook for 1954 is bright
for a continuation of the progress
already made.’’
Effect of the national adminis-
tration program on the industry
was reflected in Blaffer’s report.
It showed that the Humble Com-
pany had increased its staff of em-
ployes from 9207 to 10,352 because
of new regulations.
“It might not be amise here to
say.” Blaffer told the stockhold-
ers, "that our company has coop-

covery Program and with plans
