Early days in Texas are described
by Mike Campbell of Stamford, well-
known newspaperman:
“My maternal grandparents settled
at Dresden, Navarro County, in 1844,
on land granted them by the Repub-
lic of Texas. Our family still has
that old document with Anson Jones’
signature. The settlers made annual
trips to Houston, in wagons drawn by
oxen, for supplies, usually taking two
months to make the round trip.
There was not a fence between Dres-
den and Houston, except rail and
brush fences around small fields and
■corrals.
“In those days, wild horses, cattle
and wolves roved over the prairies.
Prairie chickens were plentiful.
“My grandfather owned a slave
who made all the shoes and boots.
Cowhides were of the utmost use in
the early days. They furnished
shoes, harness, bull whips, chair bot-
toms and hinges for doors; and
sometimes vessels for carrying water
were made of leather.
“The Meltons were also early set-
tlers in that section. Ethan Melton
married my grandmother’s sister. My
great uncle, John Welch, told me of
the Battle of San Jacinto, and the
capture of Santa Anna. He related:

ing after some pack mules, and as we

Yr SURPRISE WHEN
walked up where General Houston
lay, some of the boys led up a Mexi-
can, dressed in the uniform of a pri-
vate, facing the general. The Mexi-
can made a sign with his hand and
General Houston answered with his
hand. About that time, some other
Mexican prisoners exclaimed,. ■ “El
Presidents El Presidente!” Then
we knew we had Santa Anna.’
“Nestling in a little valley north of
old Dresden lies the Melton Ceme-
tery, fringed with wild plum and
persimmon thickets. There sleep pio-
neers, including my maternal grand-
parents. The song of the mocking
bird may be heard in the stately elms
but no more do the mournful howl of
the timber wolf and the haunting
notes of the horned owl boom out in
the dark hours of the ngiht. Yes, in
North America, frontiers have van-
ished forever.”
WASHINGTON. — The Army has
revealed that it issued an order July
12 to all commands abolishing the
requirement that officers and men
exchange salutes off the bounds of
military posts in the United States.
The order carried out the recom-
mendations of the “caste board,”
headed by Lt. Gen. James H. Doo-
little. Secretary of War Robert P.
Patterson approved the recommenda-
tions.
The order specified that the hand
salute still will be used on military
posts, at Army ceremonies and off
posts in foreign countries.
WASHINGTON.—One out of every
four veterans of World War II has
filed a disability claim and 1,520,000
are now eligible for compensation.
A statement from the Veterans Ad-
ministration said Sunday 3,400,000
claims have been made, but monthly
totals have declined from a peak of
425,000 new cases in February to
about 121,000 in June.
Payments, if approved, begin as of
the date a veteran is separated from
the armed forces, provided the claim
is filed within one year from that
date. Otherwise payment starts as of

HOLLYWOOD.—Jt sounds like an
old but refurbished gag, but Veronica
Lake swears it happened.
The actress, on location
National Park for Harry Sherman’s
picture, “Ramrod,” saw an elderly
Indian couple on a side trail.
The man was on horseback. .His
squaw trudged afoot behind, sweat
rolling down her wrinkled fhce. She
was loaded with bundles, apparently
a month’s supply of foodstuffs.
“Why doesn’t the woman ride?”
Veronica demanded of the man.
Fully 30 seconds passed before
answered: “She got no horse.”
