According to L. L. Wendell, the
County Line Singing Convention will
meet at Marvin Methodist Church,
five miles east of Whitewright, Sun-
day at 2 p. m. Mrs. Wendell says:
“We have not been to Marvin with a
convention for some time, and we
hope to see a lot of singers for this
convention. We have new song books,
and they are good ones. Come to
Marvin and enjoy two hours of good
singing and meet old friends that you
have not met for some time.”
Nina’s Beauty Shop will open for

ORBIA BLANTON of San Antonio,
here during the holidays to visit his
brother, Roy Blanton, and other rela-
tives, read in this column that Earl
Fields, post commander of the Amer-
ican Legion, lacked 15 members hav-
ing his quota and was anxius to reach
liis goal. A charter member of the
local post, Orbia joined up again to
help Earl reach his quota. Roy said
that in order to show his (Roy’s) ap-
preciation, he would send The Sun to
Orbia for a year. So, that made ev-
erybody happy, including this editor
who is glad to have Orbia back on
the mailing list after an absence of
several years.
Prof. Hurd. C. Willett of Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
who believes that sunspots greatly in-
fluence the weather, has predicted
that spring and summer, 1955, will be
both hot and dry in Texas.
Professor Willett’s predictions are
based on 18 years of research on the
relation between sunspots and the
weather.
JEROME McKINNEY, district
manager of Southwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company, was here a few days
ago and dropped in to tell us that he
is assigning a service man to White-
wright. He said the man to be se-
lected for the job will move to White-
wright, and will service Whitewright,
Bells and Savoy telephones. He said
he hoped to have the man here by
■Jan. 20, but no later than Feb. 1. “We
are going to give you a good man and
we hope you will take him in and
make him a part of the community,” her husband, J J W. Barnes, bought a
Mr. McKinney said. “We want to get
back into the good graces of you
Whitewright folks, and we hope giv-
ing you what you have asked for will
enable us to do so,” he added.
WASHINGTON.—President Eisen-
hower asked Congress Tuesday to
give 1 % million government workers
an average pay increase of about 5
percent. The cost was estimated at
more than 339 million dollars a year.
In two special messages sent to
Capitol Hill, he also recommended a
hike in postal rates to foot part of the
bill and that the government contrib-
ute 55 million dollars a year to a new
health program for federal em-
ployees.
The Senate’s Majority Leader, Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson (Dem.) of Texas,
announced immediately he favored a
raise for government workers but
that he questioned the advisability of
increasing postal rates. This ap-
peared to be the view of many mem-
bers of Congress.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn said
he favored a 5 percent across-the-
board increase for federal workers.
But Rayburn opposed raising first
class mail rates, saying it was more
than paying its own way. He said
that heavy losses are sustained by the
Post Office Department in handling
magazines and newspapers.
A major aim of the administra-
tion’s plan, the President said, is to
bring average government pay and
benefits more into line with stand-
ards prevailing in private industry.
-2.- M that $iontshrdlu
Eisenhower vetoed a similar pay
raise last August because the bill
passed by Congress failed to provide
revenue, including higher postal
rates, to meet the increases and be-
cause he said it did not correct ex-
isting “inequities” in pay rates.
C. B. BRYANT III stepped in yes-
terday to ask us if the electric com-
pany had “converted” us to the creo-
soted poles for the vapor lights being
installed. Some months ago there
was considerable debate about
whether or not steel poles should be
demanded, and since nothing was
done about the lights one way or an-
other, we thought the whole business
had been abandoned, and that is what
we told C. B. However, since the
poles are up, everybody might as well
accept them with good grace, which
we expect to do. Looking up and
down the street at some of the rag-
ged, unpainted awnings and un-
painted store fronts, we guess the
poles harmonize very well with the
general decor of the business district.
IF THERE is still anybody who be-
lieves he will live to see a balanced
federal budget, he might just as well
forget it. A lot of folks believed
Candidate Eisenhower when he said
he would keep the government’s out-
go within bounds of its income, if
only folks would place him in the
White House. He has not only failed
to arrive at a balanced budget during
his two years in office, but if all the
expenditures he now proposes to

Mrs. May was born in Raleigh, N.
C., Oct. 31, 1872, a daughter of the
late Lee and Mary Hughes. She
came to Texas at the age of six. She
was married to Jerome May on Dec.
23, 1893. Mr. May passed away on
Aug. 13, 1944. She was a member of
the Baptist Church.
She is survived by one son, John
Lee May of Sherman; three daugh-
Mrs. Avis Morgan of Bells, and Mrs.
Audrey Evans of Whitewright; elev-

DENVER.—Mrs. Alma Schneider,
director of the Denver Mint, said a
check for $850 will be sent to a man
in Weiner, Ark., for a three-foot
pipe he sent her.
The man, whom Mrs. Schneider did
not identify, kept dimes, nickels and
quarters in the pipe. When his
house burned down, the coins melted
and then hardened.

JIM BROWN met us in the post
office this week and renewed his Sun
subscription for another year. This
gave us the opportunity to chide him
for not reporting his marriage when
it occurred some months ago. We
told him that the first we heard of
liis marriage was when Paul Steph-
ens asked us about a month later
why we didn’t have anything in the
paper about Jim Brown’s marriage.
Jim said he understood; that he was
loo busy at the time to think about
reporting it to his home-town news-
paper. For the benefit of any of you
readers who may be contemplating
matrimony, please tell us about it
before or when it happens. Your
friends are interested.
MRS. RALPH BOND, manager of
the Parkland Sportswear garment
factory here, is advertising in this
paper for additional experienced
power machine operators. She said
six new machines are to be installed
this week to add to the 35 single
needle machines already in opera-
tion. The plant is making a variety
of garments at this time, and last
Friday shipped out 1863 garments,
and earlier in” the week shipped 900.
Mrs. Bond said if she couldn’t obtain
experienced operators she would
have to train some inexperienced
help.

$452.75 Raised For March of Dimes
Boy Scout Fund
Whitewright people gave a total of
$452.75 to the Boy Scout fund raising
campaign conducted by a group of
workers consisting of Mrs. Clyde
Craig, Carlton Johnson, Wilson Kai-
ser, James H. Gosnell, Mrs. Mary Lou
Ayres, B. R. Vestal, Rev. Newton

Morgan, S. T. Montgomery Jr., Mrs.

Johnson, Clint Hennig, Ron Faison,

Dixon and John Biggerstaff.
The town was asked to meet a
quota of $750, and an attempt was
made to increase this amount to $900,
Mr. Bryant said, in order to have $150
to go into the local budget for repairs
on the scout hut. Any who have not
contributed and wish to do so are
asked to leave their donations at the
First National Bank.
AUSTIN.—Allan Shivers’ budget-
balancing tax raise proposal got a
cool reception in the Legislature
Wednesday.
But the Governor informed the
lawmakers that if they didn’t like his
solution to the state’s financial
plight to think up a substitute of their
own.
He made two specific tax recom-
mendations: Raise the gasoline tax
from 4c to 6c a gallon, and boost the
cigarette tax from 4c to 5c a pack.
The Governor laid out a far-flung
program for improvement of Texas
institutions and highways, reforms in
labor, insurance and crime laws and
his taxation ideas in a 3,000-word
message to joint session of the House
and Senate on this second day for the
regular session.
Legislators gave him a standing
ovation when he entered the Hall of
Representatives, but they interrupted
his talk only twice with applause—
once when he asked for legislation to
break strikes such as the year-long
ones against Port Arthur firms and
again when he made his states rights
utterance:
“We are committed in Texas to re-
sist by every means at our com-
mand any further encroachment by
the Federal Government upon the
sovereignty of the state.”
Shivers said the new Legislature
faced more problems than any other

The following letter, dated Jan. 10,
from Clyde G. Allen, route 2, Troup,
Texas, to S. T. Montgomery Jr.,
superintendent of schools and head
football coach, is self-explanatory:
“Dear Sir:
“Perhaps I should explain in the
beginning of this letter that I am a
Gaston football fan, live in the Gas-
ton district, have no interest in the
school other than the average citizen
should have, my son graduated from
Gaston in ’52. Since then I have just
follwed and supported our ‘boys’ in
football.
“I have heard from a reliable
source that our Superintendent made
you a good offer dollar and cents
wise, if you would agree to playing
the Gaston-Whitewright football
game at Kilgore and that you stated,
in effect, that you came to that meet-
ing to represent the people of your
district and that you could not go
back and tell them that you had sold
them out . . . provided any part of
that is true, I wish to commend you
highly for the firm stand you made
in the matter and would like you to
know that a host of people here feel
exactly as I do, that the almighty dol-
lar is not all there is to be considered
at all times.
“Even though your team lost on the
field of play, the game will soon be
forgotten, but the thing that will al-
ways be remembered about White-
wright is that the school representa-
tives had the courage and conviction
to do the right thing for their school,
and we “the little people” down here
hope and pray that other schools will
follow the fine example you set.
“Sincerely,
“CLYDE G. ALLEN.”

night, January 17 at 7:30 in the high

ters, Mrs. Foy Riddle of Sherman, Austin Tuesday.
Hammond declared:
“The Texas Farm Bureau will vig-
orously oppose not only the so-
called fair trade bill, but also any
legislation which will create a mon-
opoly.”
He added:
The people of Texas being inher-
ently free traders and staunch sup-
porters of the free enterprise system,
have consistently defeated monopoly
under any guise.”
WACO. — The president of the
Texas Farm Bureau warned in Waco
Tuesday that his organization will
vigorously oppose any price-fixing
bill that might be introduced in the
Texas Legislature.
The executive, J. Walter Ham-
mond, sounded his warning in re-
sponse to a newspaper article specu-
lating that a fair trades act bill will
be introduced in the 54th session of
the state Legislature which opened in
Roy Blanton was elected president
of the Chamber of Commerce at the
annual meeting held in Craig’s dining
room Monday night, succeeding Clint
Hennig who has served in that ca-
pacity for the last year.
James H. (Sonny) Gosnell was
elected vice president, and Edwin.
Badgett was re-elected secretary.
Mr. Gosnell was a member of the
board of directors with a year yet to
serve, and his elevation to the vice
presidency made it necessary to elect
his successor on the board, and.
Thomas Sears got that place.
Other board members who were
elected for two-year terms are Bob
Andrew, George Hight and M. B.
Hasty. Holdover members are J. B.
Dixon and Homer Sears. The retir-
ing president, Mr. Hennig, automat-
ically becomes a member of the board
for one year.
Mr. Hennig opened the meeting by
thanking the about 45 persons who
were present, and by expressing re-
gret because more of the business
houses were not represented. Less
than 40 percent of the local business
concerns had representatives at the
meeting, in spite of wide publicity
given the meeting. Mr. Hennig said
150 post cards were mailed out, and.
there was a display ad and news story
about the meeting in this paper.
Reviewing the activities of the
Chamber of Commerce for 1954, Mr.
Hennig recounted the accomplish-
ments as published in The Sim last
week. He then called on Secretary
Edwin Badgett for a financial report,
and Mr. Badgett gave, a breakdown
on the expenditures in connection,
with establishment of the Hefner
garment factory, then read from the
report he gave in The Sun last week.
After all the business of the meet-
ing had been completed, Mr. Gosnell
spoke briefly on the community fair
which is under consideration. He
said that if sufficient support could
be engendered on the part of the bus-
iness men, it is planned to hold the
fair the latter part of April, with sur-
rounding towns and communities to
be invited to participate. A meeting
of the Chamber of Commerce is to be
called later to discuss the fair, he
said.
Labor is exercise continued to
fatigue; exercise is labor used only
while it produces pleasure.—Samuel
Johnson.
After outlining his program, the
Governor said that the general fund
revenue for the next two years would
be 61 million dollars short of a bal-
anced budget. He made some rec-
ommendations for savings in school
administration, asked for raising state
college tuitions from $5 to $50 a se-
mester, then asked for 2c more a gal-
lon tax on gasoline and 1c more for
cigarettes.
“Perhaps each of you will have a
different idea and a different ap-
proach to the sources of new tax
revenue,” Shivers said.
re-examine the entire field of taxa-
tion, to determine who pays state
taxes and who doesn’t, who pays too
much or too little.”
An informal poll of legislators by
The Dallas News Austin staff indi-
cated that members were hot ready at
this point to go for the 2c gasoline tax
raise, but some said the lc for cigar-
ettes would be all right.
The gasoline tax would be used to
provide $45,000,000 more a year for
highway purposes and put $14,500,000
a year more into the available school
fund.
An extra penny on cigarettes
would raise $16,500,000 for general
revenue in two years.
Receipts at the Whitewright post-
office showed an increase for 1954
over 1953, but the increase was small, economic disaster in time of flood.”
Postmaster John Biggerstaff told The
Sun yesterday. “The months of Oc-
tober and November were way off or
else we would have had a larger gain
for 1954,” he said.
Receipts for 1954 were $12,464.02,
compared to $12,433.22 for 1953, a
difference of $30.80.
Horse population of the U. S.
reached a peak of 19,833,113 in 1910.
By 1940 the number had decreased to
a total of only 10,086,971.
MISS BELLE HUDDLESTON of
Dallas sends in her subscription re-
newal accompanied by a letter which
read in part: “I have been taking The
Sun since 1924 when I left White-
wright. Most all the older friends
have gone since then, but I am not
forgotten, if I am 85. I had 70
Christmas cards and some money
gifts during the holidays. Keep The
Sun still shining in my home. Rain-
ing this morning, so I can’t go to
church. We had 1685 in Sunday
school last Sunday. God bless all,
and heaps of good luck for the new
year.”
TOM J. RUSSELL
Funeral services for Tom J. Rus-
sell, 66, were held at 2 p. m. Monday
at Earnheart chapel, conducted by
Rev. Ross Bourland of Altoga and
Rev. LeRoy Martin of Sherman.
Burial was in Pilot Grove Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Bruce Dixon, E.
O. Young, Charlie Kaiser, Clint Hop-
per, Taylor Autrey and Earl Benson.
Mr. Russell died Saturday in a hos-
pital at Tyler after a long illness.
Born at McKinney July 20, 1888,
Mr. Russell lived in the Pilot Grove
community for many years,
ried Miss Fannie Binion

Survivors include his
daughter, Mrs. Harold Wallace, Leon-
ard; two sons, T. G. Russell, Borger,
and Orville H. Russell, Fort Belvoir,

ita, Kan., Will Russell, Durant, Okla.,

make, including blanket pay in-
creases for the more than two million
federal employes, and many other
things, the budget is going to get
deeper into the hole than ever, and
your dollar is going to become small-
er in purchasing power from year to
year. Remember when it took all
the Chinese money a man could get
into a pocket to buy a loaf of bread
in China. That condition could de-
velop here.
LOOKING OVER the crowd that
attended the Chamber of Commerce
annual meeting Monday night, this
column was impressed by the fact
that more than half of the business
interests of this town did not have
representatives present. With 49
business memberships reported Mon-
day night, there were only 21 busi-
ness establishments represented at
the meeting. Maybe that is one
thing that is wrong with Whitewright
—too many people are leaners and
not enough people are pushers. Too
many people take the attitude that “I
am with you, whatever you want to
do, but don’t expect me to attend any
meetings or do any work.” We hear
a lot of people saying “We ought to
do something to promote White-
wright,” but those very same people
are conspicuous by their absence
when something is cooking,
read from time to time about the
whole-hearted support given the
Chamber of Commerce, or some sim-
ilar organization, in whatever it un-
dertakes, in some of the newspapers
we get from other towns the size of
Whitewright. Is business so good, Oak Hill Cemetery,
are Whitewright business men so
busy, that they can’t take a few hours
off now and then to attend a meet-
ing? Ask yourself what is wrong
with Whitewright. It could be you!
WE FIND fault with the Governor’s
proposal to have highway users and
cigarette smokers pay all the in-
creased cost of operating the state
government and building roads and
operating schools, etc. There’s noth-
ing wrong with taxing gasoline and
cigarettes, but there is something
wrong with a tax program which
places the burden on part of the citi-
zenry while leaving the remainder
without an increase. Since every-
body who lives in Texas benefits
from the services rendered by the
state, or is supposed to, everybody
who lives in Texas should help pay
the bill, indiscriminately. About the
only way to equalize taxes thusly
would be to levy a tax on oxygen, for
everybody has to breathe. The prob-
lem of collecting such a tax would be
easily solved by equipping everybody
with an oxygen meter which would
measure the individual’s oxygen in-
take. The big man and the active
man would, naturally, consume more
oxygen than the little man and the
inactive man, and should pay more
oxygen tax. Any man could escape
this tax legally by simply refusing to
- breathe.
VALENTIN KLINGER is a new
subscriber and a new Whitewright
business man. He bought the Hum-
ble Service Station, on the highway
north of town, from Grady Kidwell,
and is now dispensing the entirely
new Humble Esso Extra gasoline for
’55, advertised for the first time on
page two of this newspaper, as well
as other Humble products.
Rev. Newton V. Cole, local chair-
man for the March of Dimes fund
campaign, has announced that he
will try to raise $750 for the contin-
uing fight against infantile paraly-
sis. To aid him in attaining that
goal, he announced the appointment
of the following committeemen:
House-to-house, Wilson Kaiser.
Business district, Clarence Tillett.
Schools, Burgher R. Vestal.
Extracuricular activities, S.
Montgomery Jr.
It will be Mr. Kaiser’s job to
ganize soliciting teams for calls at
every residence in town. Mr. Tillett
will do the same thing in the business
district. Mr. Vestal will collect do-
nations from teachers and students
in the schools. Mr. Montgomery’s
assignment embraces many poten-
tialities, and there’s no telling what
activities he will come up with.
Mr. Cole headed the March of
Dimes campaign here last year, and
although he got started late through
no fault of his own, he did a good
job, raising more than $500.
It is generally agreed that of all
the campaigns conducted for funds
of various kinds every year, the
March of Dimes is the most important
and the most worthy of everybody’s
support. The polio fight is impor-
tant to every family everywhere, for
