tainted with the same thievery about
it.
And yet it is difficult not to wince
at the hardness of the words. In our
wincing we but show that we at home
have come to condone what we know
is wrong. When condonation be-
comes too general, so close at home,
it shows that the fiber of integrity
has been gravely damaged. From the
White House on down to the little red
schoolhouse that is not red any more,
America has cause for shame.

Roy Blanton was program chair-

Friday. He presented A. J. Fogaley
of Texas A. M. College who gave a
very interesting demonstration of
some of the fire hazards in homes.
His demonstration of what can hap-

cuit not properly fused was especial-

The news is that just as soon
certain school districts get honest
again about reporting school attend-
ance they will be put back on the ac-
credited list. Of course, this is pen-
alizing a student for the sins of his
elders—the student has to pass an
examination to enter college after
finishing a high school where his
elders have lied about school attend-
ance in order to get more state money
dor schools. But the sins of the fath-
ers do bear down upon the children.
Neighborhood dishonesty is the
most insidious of all. It is the most
shameful because it is. dishonesty at
home. Padding attendance rolls to
get tax money which justly belongs
to another community is not techni-
cally theft. But it is obviously
On Saturday, Oct. 11, at 1 o’clock,
Mrs. Guy Hamilton’s music students
held a meeting and elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, Ann Hun-
ter; vice-president, Sandra Montgom-
ery; secretary, Doris Wallace, and re-
porter, Alice Ayres.
A record was then played of Mrs.
Hamilton’s while refreshments were
being served.
“Sherherds All and Maidens Fair”
was then played by Mrs. Hamilton.
• Guyla Wrenn Sears played “To a
Rose,” followed by Clara Jean Kelly
playing “Tumble Weed.” “Much of
the We Folk” was played by Pattie
Jean Badgett.
The program committee was then
appointed, consisting of Gpyla Wrenn
Sears, Doris Wallace, Pattie Badgett
and Judy Gosnell.
Since there was no more business
the club adjourned.—Reporter.
The Whitewright Music Club met':
Wednesday afternoon in the home of
Mrs. Philip Earnheart for a program
on “America’s Taste for Music.” Mrs.
Madge Braly discussed progress of
music in America, after which some
recordings were played. Ten mem-
bers were present.
The club made plans for serving a
chili supper at the school cafeteria-
on Halloween night, Oct. 31, in con-
nection with the school carnival.
Chili, pie and coffee will be served,
for 50 cents, proceeds to go to the
school piano fund. Serving will be-
gin at 6:30, in order that everyone
may be served before time for the
carnival.

While politicians talk of economy
in government, the bureaucrats
steadily adding new names to
Federal payroll.
The Civil Service Commission
ports that last July 1 the number of
civilian Federal employees rose to
2,603,300—up 28,600 for June, when
more than 1,000 were hired each
working day.
That’s economy in reverse,
the economy of bureaucracy
wild. It’s high time to call a halt.

They Don’t Mean It
The public should know that all
those nasty things the politicians
have been saying about each other
do not mean that the politicians are
actually mad at each other.
A political campaign is a lot like
those wrestling matches you see on
television—there is a lot of fakery
present.
If the politicians took seriously
what they say about each other, they
would all wind up in fist-fights or
shooting scrapes.
With a very few exceptions, they
are all good friends, fend the spec-
tacle they put on every election year
is just part of the game of politics to
them. After the election is over, they
forget all about all the wild charges
and name calling that they indulged
in.
Which is as it should be.
The people as a whole take their
cue from the politicians, doing a lot
of arguing during the election cam-
paign, but not getting mad at each
other. If a few of them do get mad,
they soon forget it. That spirit is one
of the things which helped to make
America great. If the time ever
comes
people cannot indulge in political
guments and political tomfoolery,
will be a sad day indeed.
(Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
The problem of proper care for the
elderly who are classed legally as
senile persons was brought to public
attention last week by State Senator-
nominate Willis’ announcement that
he plans to seek authority in the next
Legislature for a state home for
seniles. The announcement was
made after Mr. Willis and several
House members visited the Terrell
State Hospital.
A state hospital for the mentally ill,
many of whom are curable, is no
place for senile patients who are in-
curable and require only merciful,
custodial care. It also has been
stated often that many of the so-
called seniles committed to state in-
stitutions actually are not in a de-
teriorated mental condition but only
are unwanted.
For such aging persons, humanita-
rian institutions in local communi-
ties have been provided in many in-
stances but are inadequate. Before
any action is taken by the Legisla-
ture next year on state provision for
seniles, the problem should be dis-
cussed by competent authorities in
the interest of the best possible solu-
tion. State care may be the answer.

When your “cowboy”
calls to beg for just a few
more minutes of play
with the gang . . .
Isn’t it a perfect example
of how even those “little”
telephone calls so often
reassure and bring peace
of mind?
And when you remember
that the average cost of
each local call, including
tax, is less than 3* . . .
Can you think of a better
bargain?
NEW YORK.—Dr. Emma Aronson,.
65, lost her right leg two years ago
but it did not end her career as a
surgeon.
At the New York Infirmary where
she is an attending gynecologist, Dr_
Aronson designed a special revolving
chair for use in the operating room..
It has a seat that can be raised or
lowered, an airplane strap and a
backrest which gives balance.
The Friday Literary Club recon-
vened for the fall season of study last
Friday at the home of Mrs. James
Bryant. Members met at 1 o’clock
for a pot luck luncheon before the
formal meeting. After the social
hour the president, Mrs. Griffin Dol-
larhide Jr., opened the business ses-
sion with greetings to the members
and announcements and greetings-
from the district and state officers of
the State Federation of Women’s
Clubs. Committee chairmen reported
on plans for the year’s work.
The theme of study this year is to
be “The American Home,” a topic se-
lected by a vote of members. The
first program was in keeping with
this theme. In the roll call each
member responded with the name of
her native town or community and
some incident of childhood days.
Mrs. Lee Smith in a delightful
manner reviewed the story, “Happy
Lany” by McKinley Kantor, the
theme of which is a deep apprecia-
tion of American home life. The
•program closed with a recorded play-
ing of “Keep the Home Fires Burn-
ing.”
Twenty-two members were pres-
ent and all but three are native Tex-
ans. Mrs. Lily Gardner of Dallas
was a visitor.—Reporter.

The Missionary Society of the
Presbyterian Church met at 2:30
Monday, Oct. 13, at the home of Mrs.
Emmet Penn, with Mrs. Homer Sears
presiding.
Mrs. J. W. Wilson was program
leader for the afternoon. Mrs. T. E.
Sears presented the Yearbook of
Prayer and Mrs. Robert Sears led in
the devotional period. Mrs. Otis
Swisher of Leonard, guest speaker,
reviewed the book, Sheldon Jackson.
The afternoon ended with an in-
formal social hour and refreshments.
Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson, and Sam Rayburn
are telling you voters “You never had it so good.”
Stop and Think!
A farmer with a good farm can put a mortgage on
his farm for borrowed money. He can borrow money up
to a certain point, according to the value of his farm. He
can spend money in “Prosperous living,” until his money
and credit are gone. Then comes pay day. The mortgage
holder takes his farm and other creditors are left holding
the sack. He is now broke, his credit ruined, but while
the money lasted “He never had it so good.”
According to figures printed in The Whitewright
Sun a few weeks ago, the National Debt amounts to more
than $1,600.00 for every man, woman, and child in the
United States. Can you pay your share when Pay Day
comes? Those who have it will not only have to pay their
share, but also that of those who do not. Also you will
have to pay the share of many a rich man, who passes his.
taxes on to you in the costs of the goods you buy.
Now while “You Never Had It So Good,” Stop And
Think.
Oh, you say, we owe this money to ourselves, do you?
Then just which side are you going to be on when Pay
Day comes? The man who owns the bonds, or the one
who does not, but has to pay taxes? Who Is Going To
Hold The Sack?
This debt is a mortgage against everything you own
—plus your future earnings and those of future genera-
tions. The government has the power, and can, and will
use it to make you pay this debt by taxes, or by printed
money that will make money worthless.
So, you say, pay day is a long way off.
will it come?
It may be sooner than you think. The moment de-
fense production can no longer be maintained at a high
level, taxes paid in will fall, off, and any New-Fair-Queer
Deal government will start borrowing more money, be-
fore it will cut expenses.
Pay Day will come when the man who buys U. S.
Bonds, thus lending money to the. government, wakes up
to a fact that exists now. He is being cheated.
The man or woman who bought a $100.00 bond ten
years ago for $75.00 can now cash the bond for $100.00,
but this $100.00 will buy (according to government fig-
ures) what $53.00 would buy ten years ago, when the
$75.00 was invested. The buyer has lost $22.00 real dol-
lars, plus his interest.
When Pay Day arrives, money will roll off the print-
ing presses and those who run the black markets will say,
“Never Had It So Good.”
Stop and Trink! I !
Vote like you would if you had a Son, Brother, Hus-
band, or Sweetheart wounded or killed in Korea!
