A Thought
1949 will bring to us the same
kinds of problems,, demands and op-
portunities that we have known in
1948. Troubles may arise too, but
regardless of what 1949 holds in
store for us, every thing will be less
difficult if we face it with FAITH
and CONFIDENCE.

Mrs. V. R. Leach and little five-
year-old son, Leroy, of Allen, came
in Christmas eve and renewed for
the Examiner.
ONE HUNDRED accidents were
registered Christmas day in Dallas.
The police credited drunken drivers
with the greater cause. The drunken
driver is a potential killer and ought
to be treated accordingly. Put him in
jail and fine him a plenty.

Austin.—A proposed code of re-
vised laws that would control un-
derground waters in Texas was read
today for the 51st Legislature.
The water laws committee of the
Texas Water Conservation Associa-
tion and water laws subcommittee of
the Texas Society or Professional
Engineers drew final draft of the
code here Friday.
The code as proposed would au-
thorize creation of water conserva-
tion districts within the state, regu-
late withdrawals of water and licens-
ing of drilling permits and prohibit
waste. Wells withdrawing not more
than 30,000 gallons a day for farm-
ing, stock grazing and domestic gar-
dening would be exempt from reg-
ulation.
Pneumonia is a killer. Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer, reports
2531 deaths from this disease dur-
ing 1947, and warns that 1948 may
show even a greater death rate. He
says: “Avoid undue fatigue and UN-
NECESSARY EXPOSURE to ex-
treme weather conditions. When you
go outside in cold weather, SUFFI-
CIENT CLOTHING should be worn
to keep the body warm. Keeping
the temperature of our homes and
offices as low as is consistent with
comfort will greatly lessen the dif-
ficulties encountered in adjusting
ourselves to the cold when we leave
the house.” Many indoor workers in
rooms that are quite warm, are in
the habit of “taking a chance,” and
instead of slipping on a coat or
wrap, they plunge out into bitter
cold to cross the street. Some friend
may stop them to talk “just a min-
ute.” Result—they chill. Later a
cold develops—then dread pneu-
monia may follow.
There are differences of opinion
with respect to the “farm problem”
as on every other problem. It would
seem, however, that the farmer him-
self should have the best idea of
what is good for him, and at the
same time good for the people on
whom the farmer depends as users
of his products. The president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
Allan B. Kline, has expressed what
he believes should be the attitude of
his people.
In the convention held in Atlan-
tic City President Kline said that,
judging by history alone, we are
headed for a bust after the present
boom, but he said that not only, must
we avoid it but that it can be avoid-
ed. The solution he suggested is
controlling the bankers . . . finances
. . . loose money—in short, regulat-
ing the money supply, and he says
the Congress should make a special
study toward that end.
President Kline asserted that con-
trols and rationing are not the answ-
er nor will the government “farm
program” save the farmer. Then he
struck at the heart of the matter,
saying, “Let us be a little cautious
about substituting the clumsy tech-
niques of government controls for
the glorious future of a free enter-
prise system in this country.” Isn’t
that expression “clumsy techniques
of government controls” exactly
what it has proved to be through all
the years?
But there must be other measures,
Mr. Kline said. “No farm program,
no protective effort on the part of
the farmers can possibly create
continued well-being in agriculture
if the rest of the economy is tied up
in FUTILE STRUGGLES between
MANAGEMENT and LABOR, or is
UNPRODUCTIVE for any reason
whatever.”
That man knows more than just
dirt farming. He offers something
that can bring resuilts if properly
and sincerely applied.

B. R. Caraway of Whitewright en-
rolls on the Examiner list of sub-
scribers for the coming year. Mr.
Caraway was born and reared in the
Wesjton community.
Here is a story from Editor Ne-
ville’s column in the Paris Newrs
in which he peeps over into a time
when this editor of the Examiner
was learning the printing trade. Our
good old boss, T. E. Bomar, long
since deceased, Was editing the Mc-
Kinney Advocate and was a “pio-
neer” in advanced newspaper boost-
ing. There was plenty needed. But
it wasn’t “hot” enough to use at that
so he took upon himself the im-
portant duty of protecting the farm-
ers from having their wagons raid-
ed by the numerous town cows that
infested McKinney. He did a good
job. But won the cognomen of “Town
Cow” Bomar. It stuck. For there
were two factions and the town be-
ing thoroughly democratic, cham-
pioned the town cow. But let Editor
Neville tell you of those happy days.
He says:
When I came to Paris, sixty-odd
years ago, the homes that had front
yards had a fence. Generally there
were two gates—one for use by the
family and visitors, the other a wid-
er gate allowing wagons to drive in
for delivery of wood or anything
that might be brought in a wagon.
The fence was necessary, for there
was no stock law. Cows and horses
that got out of their owners’ prem-
ises, or were maybe turned out to
forage, would destroy a flower bed
in a few minutes if there was no
fence, and sometimes the animals
would push open a gate and come
m anyhow.
The town cow, as the wandering
animals were generally called, was
often seen o nthe PUBLIC SQUARE
and unless driven away would eat
hay and corn from the FARMERS’
WAGONS, or watermelon rinds
from the ground where they were
thrown after the buyer from a wag-
on had eaten what he wanted. Cattle
brought to the butchers were driven
loose through the streets, from one
to maybe half a dozen animals, and
naturally they did not stay in the
roadway if there was a CHANCE
TO GET INTO A YARD where a
gate was inadvertently left open. Al-
together the cows were a nuisance.
Sometimes wandering horses or hogs
did a lot of damage. It can be un-
derstood why fences were needed.
Several years later Paris passed
a stock ordinance, which was not
very strictly enforced. The city did
not employ a stock policeman, to
put the wandering animals in a
pound, and the few policemen had
other things to do. Eventually, how-
ever, a stock policeman was em-
ployed, then people began to TAKE
DOWN THEIR FRONT FENCES,
and more of the yards were beauti-
fied with shrubs and flowers.
Other towns haa the same trouble.
The Paris News, in August, 1888, had
a story of the trouble Sherman was
having with cows runing at large.
The Paris paper said, “Now that
town (Sherman) has a stock ordi-
nance, but it EXEMPTS MILCH
COWS. That is to say, if a cow can
come on the public square and
PROVE that she is the MOTHER
OF A CALF and affords fluid
enough for its sustenance and
enough over for COFFEE, she can
climb into the farm, wagons at will,
or can go through the city and
REAP YOUNG SHADE TREES,
choice roses, evergreens, etc., to her
satisfaction. The people of Sherman
are much more accommodating than
those of Paris, and the ordinance in
question gives rise to the suspicion
that the average Shermanite has a
“WEAKNESS FOR MILK
SHAKES.”
When the stock policeman was
appointed by the aidermen, instead
of by the mayor, as the 1905 charter
provided, the place was generally
sought by several applicants, and I
have seen city councils of eight men
take HALF DOZEN VOTES before
agreeing on a stock policeman, as
each applicant had one or more
backers in the council, and it had to
be whittled down to one getting five
votes.

Rev. T. W. Sisterson expresses his
thoughts in beautiful language on
the passing of the Old Year and the
birth of the new.
Our Calendar for 1948 has folded
its cover, for its everlasting sleep.
Our Calendar for 1949 is standing
by to take its place.
Upon the cover of each we have
penciled a single word. Upon the old
one, “Memory:” upon the new one
“Hope.” These two make up the
team, which, harnessed to the chari-
ot of time, ensures the progress of
the world. Both memory and hope
are anchors of the soul.
Memory binds us to the abiding
values of the past. Yesterday refuses
to be buried in the winding sheet of
a discarded calendar. It is one with
today and forever. The hopes and
fears, the laughter and tears of our
ysterdays are not forgotten. They
remain an essential part of the foun-
dation of tomorrow. In the storm of
these trying years we need to tight-
en the anchor lines which link us
with a glorious past.
But memory is not enough. To
look backward only is to stumble on
the unmarked trail of the future.
Tomorrow beckens, and hope leads
on. “Beloved it doth not yet appear
what we shall be.” These are thy
words Oh God. They give us confi-
dence as one year passes and another
dawns.
“He knows, although we Know not,
The path that lies before;
He sees the many turnings,
Right to the Golden Shore.
He guards and guides as ever,
E’en though we often stray,
Go forward then, with courage,
Because he knows the way.”
Sincrely yours,
T. W. SISTERSON.

One of the first things that will
come before the Eighty-first Con-

or revision of he present Taft-Hart-

present law only to have it passed
over his veto, called for its repeal

during his Autumn campaign. He

was made. Early Friday morning,
Dec. 24, it was difficult to get around
in most of the downtown stores. But
it was a friendly, cheerful crowd of
shoppers. I enjoyed saying “howdy”
to hundreds of them.
AJ^sentral Naional Bank.
^Delbert Rose who was employed
for several years at the Pratt’s Gro-
cery store (now Massie’s Grocery)
has accepted employment at the
Central National Bank, “The Big
Friendly Bank.” Mr. Rose was con-

checking clerks in town. He will
work at a teller’s window at the
bank. We wish him well in his new
position.
Plumber Visits Us.
Mr. Cook, of the Cook’s Plumb-
ing Company, on East Virginia St.,
came by to see us the other day. He
informs us that Orville Humphries
is associated with him in the plumb-
ing business.
Trolley Cafe Popular.
Out north of town where Church
Street and Highway 75 merge, the
scene has changed considerably dur-
ing the past two years. Three or four
buildings occupy the area that was
an open field. Frank Dutton built his
Toonerville Trolley Cafe out of old
street cars and has had to keep add-
ing to his facilities. Later Dutton
built a modern service station near-
by. Recently, Mr. Finch built a lum-
ber yard near the Trolley Cafe, and
not far away, facing Churchwtreet,

constructed their own building.
Shrubs and Plants.
I talked with Melvin Gotcher the
other day about the possibility of
getting some shrubs dug and ready
for transplanting. He said that since
the recent rains it was now possible
to dig and pack plants for moving
and transplanting, but due to the
continued dry weather through the
Wallace no ear^y transplanting had been
Another Year Gone.
The man on the street corner early
Sunday greeted me cheerfully, but
he looked as if he might be lost.
Then he said: “Things sure are quiet
around here this morning. Almost
deserted.” And that was true. Three
or four cars parked around the
square. Nobody in sight on the
streets. Now that Christmas is over,
I wonder if everyone was at home
quietly meditating about the year
that has passed, and about what the
new year will bring forth.
From Kelley Community.
I saw Bill Howell the other day.
Bill lives in the Kelley community,
in north Collin, and in addition to
his activities around his country
place he is an electrician by trade.
He has been doing radio and elec-
trical work since 1921. Was one of
the early “pioneers” in the radio
field in this section. He has wired
houses for electricity all over the
country, and in recent years, since
Rural Electric lines have been built,
Bill has kept especially busy assist-
ing farm families to get their build- ,
ings ready foi' electric lights. He C j

The government has “frozen”
held up about $70,000,000 in econom-
ic aid to China until the situation
clears in that Communist-threatened
country and seems just like good
hard sense. This giving out millions
of dollars to be paid out in foreign
countries for “this and that” is bank-
rupting our own nation and getting
aw you nowhere. But listen: To hold up on
1- | aid at this time does not mean that
is not necessary that Communists
q ' (in China be defeated. It IS NECES-
‘ SARY, but it is a hard job, and may
prove impossible. In the latter case,
if the Reds win, it means a victory
for Russia in which case that smooth
slithering communistic country will
take charge of China and later
America will be facing the greatest
menace she has ever known.

ra during his Autumn campaign,
was elected.
i Is that a MANDATE of the PEO-
■ PLE to REPEAL the law or did the
people who elected Mr. Truman vote
for him for considerations
than the Taft-Hartley Law?
Herald asks.
Quite a few Congressmen who had
voted for the Taft-Hartley Law were
defeated in November. Nevertheless,
an analysis of the members of the
House and the Senate who will com-
pose the new Congress shows that
a GOODLY MAJORITY IN BOTH
BRANCHES of Congress either vot-
ed FOR the bill or, newcomers, ex-
pressd themselves FAVORABLY to-
ward it during their camapigns. Not
a two-thirds majority, to be sure—
which was required to override
President Truman’s veto when the
bill was passed. But a majority ad-
equate enough to prevent replace-
ment of the bill by any such MON-
STROSITY as the old Wagner Act.
Friends of the Taft-Hartley Law
met in Washington Monday to lay
plans for its PROPER REVISION.
That it needs many revisions even
its strongest friends will admit.
But it DOES NOT DESERVE the
emasculation some of the radical LA-
BOR LEADERS who refuse to say
whether or not they ARE or have
been COMMUNISTS would give it.
Whether the act is amended or
killed outright, the latter now seem-
ing improbable, it has SOME GOOD
FEATURES that should be retained,
says the Herald.
The Examiner believes the Taft-
Hartley bill has proved a real bless-
ing to the nation. There have been
many strikes and other labor trou-
bles. The nation would have been
tied up by the extremists in the la-
bor unions headed by John L. Lew-
is and Harry Bridges, the com-
munism labor leader from Australia,
who has never become a U. S. citi-
zen, but is HEAD of the MARINE
UNION on the Pacific, which has
threatend to tie up the Pacific ship-
ping business on several occasions.
But the Taft-Hartley law has acted
as a “pacifier.” The government is
“in the saddle” with that law. You
will notice several big --x
strikes have been settled
“out of court” as it were.
Yes, the law needs some amend-
ments but that surgical operation by
Congress should be in the hands of
