“Yep.”
“You take your solemn oath that

Washington. — An administration
official Sunday proposed that the
government blueprint an expanded
public works program for use, if
needed, to give business a lift and
boost employment.
' “The wise use of public works,”
he said, “could help us steer a safe
course between’ inflation and defla-
tion.”
In making that suggestion, J. W.
Follin, assistant Federal Works Ad-
ministrator, said he is “not asking
that a large program of public works
be started at this time,” but he add-
ed:
The last depression taught us that
without adequate advance planning
it took many months to put even a
handful of men to work on useful
public projects.”
Writing in the agnecy’s publica-
tion, “Public Construction,” Follin
went on to say he is not “forecast-
ing the future trend of business.”
He added:
The ability to launch a large pro-
gram of public works—should our
economy falter—would be a power-
ful force serving to engenders and
renew confidence.”
Follin pointed out “there has been
practically no construction of public
buildings since 1939” and because of
the war period he said the backlog
of “needed state-local construction”
now amounts to upwards of 100 bil-
lion dollars.
Follin said that outlays for new
construction this year are estimated
at $18,250,000,000—with private in-
dustry planning to spend $13,250,-
000,000 and the remainder divided
between the federal, state and local
governments for public building.
“If the volume of private con-
struction anicipated for this
were cut in half,” he said,
would need $11,600,000,000 of
lie construction to maintain
ployment on an even keel.”
But he declared there are not
enough public works blueprinted at
present to handle such a task. He
estimated that federal, state and lo-
cal reserve projects now in blue-
print form now total ouly $4,500,-
000,000.
Urging that the government take
immediate steps to build up a re-
serve of planned projects, Follin
said it should include schools, hos-
pitals, health centers, fire stations,
citv halls, highways, sewers and
waterworks.
Plans ought to be drawn anyway,
said, to assure an orderly flow
public construction.

(From the Leader)
A familiar character around Van
Alstyne passed away about one
o’clock Tuesday morning at his home
near here. Daniel Murphy was 66
years of age.
His full name contained twenty-
six words. He was named after his
uncle. He has a son and a grandson
with the same long name. His full
name was Daniel’s Wisdom May I
Know, Stephen’s Faith and Spirit
Showr John’s Divine Communion
Feel, Moses’ Meekness and Joshua’s
Zeal, Wins the Day and Conquers
All Murphy. He is survived by six
children.
When he was a’ boy, men would
give him a stick of candy to repeat
his full name. He was born at Pilot
Grove and has lived all his life there.
He had worked for the Judd family
for many years.
In 1936 he was the subject of one
of Ripley’s cartoons, and was invit-
ed by Ripley to appear in person at
a broadcast in New York City. He
accepted the invitation, but the ill-
ness of his wife caused him to fore-
go the-trip with all expenses paid.
(By Noble Wright)
Memories of fire, tornado, train
robbers, wire cutters and a trip on
an immigrant train are some of the
highlights recalled by Mr. Tom C.
Huguley, 81-year-old batchelor of
McKinney, who has lived through
some of the most exciting times in
Collin County.
Mr. and Mrs. Amos Huguley, par-
ents of Tom Huguley, brought Tom
and their 6 other children to Texas
from Alabama. It was a five-day
trip on the immigrant train.
“The service for travelers on rail-
roads then was not much better than
they offer now for high grade cat-
tle. But these passengers were
fired with a great purpose, and were
willing to put up with anything and
everything to reach a place" that was
to everyone of them a land of new
hopes, new promises, new ambi-
tions— a new life,” says one writer
of the immigrant trains.
The family settled 2 ¥2 miles north
of where Allen is now located. The
original farm site has stayed in the
hands of the family and Tom Hugu-
ley and one other relative own it
today.
“There .was no town of Allen when
Sam Bass and his gang robbed the
Houston and Texas Central Railroad
at a switch south of the present town
of Allen. There was a bois d’arc
tree at the site of' the robbery but it
has long since disappeared.
“Many holes have been dug along
Rowlett Creek by treasure hunters
searching for some of the Bass Gang
swag,” Huguley says. He does not
know how much money was taken
in the robbery and no one knows
whether or not any of the money
was hidden.
The first load of grain to be ship-
ped out of Allen was loaded by one
of the Huguley family, the late J.
N. Huguley, brother of Tom Hugu-
ley.
Within Mr. Huguley’s lifetime
Texas has passed from an open range
to a closed range. He said, “The
first barbed wire fence in Collin
County was owned by a’Mr. Stanton
who was a preacher and lived near
Allen. Much fence cutting was done
before people finally became used
to the idea of a closed range.”
A clock that has run for about one
hundred years is one of the prized
mementos in Mr. Huguley’s posses-
sion. It is a Seth Thomas clock and
is operated by a spring.
A receipt made out to his uncle
by Dryson & Co. of Georgia is 114
years old and this also is a treasured
family relic of Mr. Huguley’s.
Mr. Huguley has not only been
able to help in keeping the family
estate but he has bought other land
in the Allen vicinitv and owns a lot
of land there. He has been gener-
ous in helping ten of twelve per-
sons through school and he says
they have all turned out to be good
citizens.
Although he is retired from active
work Mr. Huguley meets often with
the “Hackberry Senate,” a group of
men who enjoy discussing problems
of the day beneath the hackberry
trees in the Courthouse yard.
His friends sav he makes a good
juryman and he has been called
more than once to serve in this cap-
acity.

SENATOR MORRIS has been get-
ting through some fine bills in the
legislature. We print an article from
Nell Churchwell on this page. She
is a special commentator on the
work of the legislature. Senator
Morris has many friends in Collin
County. His work for the school
teachers is timely and no doubt ap-
preciated.
Opportunity wandered along
In search of a man who would
rise.
He said to the indolent throng:
“Here’s a chance for the fellow
who tries.”
But each of them said with a smile,
“I wish I could do it, but I’m
Very busy today, and I’m sorry to
say
That I really haven’t got the time.
— _ Jajjly!
I’m busy, and you mustn’t pound
A single key today.”

A. W. Neville, editor Paris News,
refers to when a Collin County
preacher criticised that 3-day mar-
riage law:
News dispatches of Wednesday
said that several bills had been in-
troduced in the Texas Legislature
touching marriage and divorce. They
would require three days waiting
period for issuance of a license, a
doctor’s certificate of freedom from
venereal disease and more definite
residence qualifications previous to
divorce. Texas had a • THREE-DAY
WAITING LAW a few years about
fifteen years ago. It was REPEALED
largely because people went to ad-
jacent states to be married, as I
have heretofore recalled, and the
officers and some preachers, de-
prived of wedding fees, demanded
repeal of the law.
I have kept among other clippings
one that I clipped during the first
year of the 3-day waiting law of 1929,
a Ft. Worth newspaper had a letter
written by a Collin County preach-
er, which said: “You have another
guess coming on your marriage con-
clusions.” (The story in the paper
did not say what were those con-
clusions, but I presume it was fa-
voring the new law). The letter
continued: “If you will get informa-
tion from Oklahoma you will find
that many of the young people of
North Texas—even from Fort Worth
—auto into Oklahoma and return in
a. few hours and Texas loses the
fees. The ministers lose their pay.
Often several cars accompany the
bridal auto which causes Ft. Worth
and Dallas to lose many that would
call down there were they permit-
ted to do so. Such a law is a fake
for all us ministers in North Tex-
as.”
The reverend evidently placed the
marriage fee dollars above the good
that was accomplished by the law
requiring notice of intention to mar-
ry. The loss of those dollars seemed
to be his only criticism. If he had
been able to object to the law on
moral grounds his argument might
have been respected. Like many
others then, and even now, it was
based only on the dollars.
Nearly sixty years ago, when I
was editor of the Daily Advocate for
the late Billy Furey I wrote editori-
als. advocating passage of laws re-
quiring notice of intention to apply
for a marriage license, which I said
should be .published in a news-
paper. I also advocated some curb
on indiscriminate foreign immigra-
tion before the days when the quota
system was established, and I was
laughed at by some people and
scolded by some others. I LIVED
TO SEE BOTH BECOME LAW, and
I shall be pleased if the Texas Leg-
islature now in session enacts the
laws that have been submitted in
the form of bills.
Regulating MARRIAGE will serve
to DECREASE THE DIVORCE
SUITS, and will be for the good of
society.
The farmers and ranchers of the
Southwest will take home more pre-
mium money from the State Fair
of Texas this fall than ever before
in history.
This news is announced in the
1949 State Fair Premium List, first
copies of which are now in the mails
inviting all purebred livestock
breeders to exhibit their herds and
flocks at the 1949 exposition.
The Premium List was published
a month earlier this year to give
farmers and ranchmen more time
to plan and prepare the exhibits
which- they will show to some
2,000,000 visitors when the Fair
opens on Oct. 8 for its 16-day run.
Total premium will be $65,235.
Premiums for the various divisions
are: Beef cattle (Aberdeen-Angus,
Braham, Hereford, Shorthorn), $25,-
200; dairy cattle (Guernsey, Hol-
stein-Friesian, Jersey and Milking
Shorthorn), $12,900; swine, $8,250;
sheep, $3,213; Angora goats, $732;
Palomino and Quarter Horses,
4,750; special herdsmen awards,
$5350; and Junior Lovestock Show,
$9,840.
(Star-Telegram)
The Senate finance committe, in
a manner comparable to the king’s
men, has marched up the economy
road—and marched back again. Af-
ter its impressive start toward cut-
ting back appropriation requests to
fit the state’s pocketbook, the com-
mittee’s aboutface was disappoint-
ing, but it by no means bears alone
the responsibility of halting the tide
of rising state spending.
The blame for the imbalance in
prospective state financing may be
traced to the organized pressure
groups which have moved on Aus-
tin and demanded more and more
money for their projects. It is a
paradox that good citizens when
welded into a minority lose their
perspective on the cumulative ef-
fect of all pressure groups on the
public purse. Resistance to these
organized factions has crumpled in
the House and Senate on previous
occasions, and their impact may
have been felt by the Senate com-
mittee when it restored some pre-
vious cuts made by it and added
about $4 million additional to ap-
propriations.
After the action by the Senate fi-
nance committee, the comptroller
pointed to an excess of about $36
million in projected appropriations
over estimated revenue. After ad-
journment, if this imbalance still
persists, the comptroller will be re-
quired to turn back some late ap-
propriations in the amount of the
deficit. This hit-or-miss procedure
may well penalize some causes
while other are receiving all they
sought from the Legislature. Hence,
in equity and in the interest of
sound lawmaking, the Legislature
should conform appropriations to
anticipated revenue. The available
money should be spread fairly
among all worthy beneficiaries, not
concentrated in a few with political
power.
The Legislature has looked with
commendable disfavor an a tax in-
crease to provide for all calls for
money that have been made. The
easy, punitive expediency of a tax
hike should be avoided. It has not
been explained why the price de-
cline has not been reflected in low-
er apropriations. The national ad-
ministration has suggested a cut in
FOREIGN AID for that reason.
The most alarming aspect of pub-
lic extravagance, which bears more
centralization of authority, is that
it is being felt at the national, state
and local levels. The people who
foot the bill are ENTITLED TO A
FAIR DEAL.

Rushing Farm Help
Bailey Hendricks was in town
from Valdasta community. Brought
some stuff from the farm to sell. Said
he left all his help going in high
gear trying to get the rest of his cot-
ton planted. Said their little boy, I
Roger Scott, had been seriously ill.
“Long Time, No See”
I was over at Yurown Gas Com-
pany the other day (looking at
those pretty Servel refrigerators)
and noticed a fine looking fellow,
eyeing me; He walked over, stuck
out his hand and spoke to me, but I
failed to recognize him. It was Ches-
ter (Chick) Talley from Frisco. He
and I attended country school to-
gether back around 1919. We en-
joyed recalling events of the past
twenty-five years, asking about fam-
ilies and friends. He told me that
he had a. grown daughter who, was
getting married this week. We wish
her much happiness.
When We Played War
At Charlie Meade’s Service Sta-
tion last week I met Dalton and Don-
ald James with whom I used to play
war, cops and robbers and such oth- .
er fun as kids enjoyed in those days.
The James boys have been visiting |
their mother, Mrs. ,L. G. James of
Josephine, who has been seriously
ill in the McKinney City-County
Hospital. Dalton James teaches
school at Lorenzo, Texas. Donald
is an engineer with the telephone
company at Beaumont.
Picture Show Fireman
Charles Gower^s manager of the
Rio Theatre in ^IcKinney, and a
member of the Volunteer Fire De-
partment. He does a lot of other
things on top of that. He knows the
show business. He looks forward
to growth and progress instead of
shaking his head sadly and saying
“business has gone to blazes.” Char-
les agrees with me, that usually if
a man’s business has gone to blazes,
he has let it walk right out his front
door and didn’t try to stop it.
Walter Cockerel stopped me to
Natural-Bom Machinist
“rib” me about my “newspaperin’
and radioin’ ” but said he shore Cid
enjoy every bit of it. Walter calls
me “Tubby.” He is on_ --------
mechanics in McKinney. Not oldest
in years but in time devoted to
patching up broken down automo-
biles. Walter says it was just as
difficult to j work on the Ford |I*s
with their simple mechanisms as it
is now to work on the big cars with
all their complicated “innards.” In
the Model T days about all a mech-
anic had to work with was a mon-
key wrench, screw driver and ham-
mer. Now they have machines that
they can almost turn loose and the
machine will do almost all of the
work by itself^
Trouble With jfir “Shootin’ Am”
.While-1! was’calling at the Mas-
sie Funeral Home the other day, lit-
•tle Billy Wayne came dashing in
from school and told his dad, Atidie
Turrentine, that he was goirijf to
Cadenhead’s Hardware Store to see
if his airgun could be repaired. He
lit out, and was back in five min-
utes with a nice new'air rifle. No
doubt the sparrow family will know
a great sorrow as a result of Billy’s
“shootin’ arn.” Hope no little neigh-
bor child gets an eye knocked out.
Be careful, Billy Wayne.
Pretty Garden, Good Eats
In recent weeks I have seen some
of the prettiest gardens one could
wish for. Hope everybody’s gar-
den makes loads of beans, potatoes,
berries, okra and everything else,
and that people will not let a bit of
it go to waste.
A Thought l
Because some people misinterpret
things they read and hear, and be-
cause they repeat it according to
their interpretation instead of the
way it REALLY IS, a lot of unpleas-
antness is oftimes created.

A COW owned by Lynn Cooper
in Fannin County committed suicide
recently, although not intentionally.
During the night the cow apparent-
ly reared up and fell on a post about
,, four feet high that had been used
to hold a block of salt. It was Mr.
Cooper’s only milch cow for which
he had been offered $175.00. Of
course it had to be just that way—
a huge price offered and refused,
generally reacts so as to point the
moral, “when you are offered a-
plenty, sell.”

Of all the excuses there are
By which this old world is ac-
cursed,
This “haven’t got time” is by far
The poorest, the feeblest,
worst.
A delusion rt is, and a snare;
If the habit is yours, you should
shake it,
For if you want to do what is offered
to you
You’ll either find time, or you’ll
make it!

So tearful were her pleas,
