protection is not all that it should have been. You need a
company that is financially strong, with a solid reputa-

HIGHLIGHTS AND SIDELIGHTS
FROM YOUR STATE CAPITOL

churches have been
opened so far this year in the U. S.
by the Assembly of God, Rev. R. L.
Brandt, secretary of home missions,
reported Saturday.
Rev. Mr. Brandt told delegates to
the church’s national convention
here that the new-church goal for
1959 is 450.
Texas is among the leaders in new
churches opened, he reported.
NEW YORK.—For the lucky mi-
nority trying to gain weight, here’s:
a rich dessert beverage:
Combine 1 pint of softened choco-
late ice cream with % cup of chop-
ped, drained maraschino cherries
(about 20 cherries) and 2 medium-
sized bananas, mashed.
Mix well, and freeze until firm in
refrigerator trays. Put scoops of this:
cream in 4 to 6 tall glasses and fill
with ginger ale.

AUSTIN. — During the next few Veterans Land Program will have to
thou- be stoppered down to a trickle from
now until after November 1960.
State is running low on money for
this program. It has authority to sell
bonds to raise more money. But
with the interest rate on the bonds
limited by the law to 3 percent no-
body wants to buy the bonds. In the
general election in 1960, the voters,
may, if they choose, raise the inter-
est, the state can pay 3 % percent and
make possible the sale of more bonds.
Of course, if the state has to pay
more interest on its bonds, it will
have to go up on the interest it
charges veterans—probably to 4 per-
cent.
Under the plan, the state buys land
and re-sells it to the veterans on a
long-term, low-interest contract. It’s
the only “bonus” to Texas veterans.
But it has resulted in the purchase
by veterans of 1,997,404 acres of Tex-
as land at an average price of $69.39
per acre.

LOOK THEIR BEST!
A wtelcly publie ««rvlc« feature from'
the Texas State Department of Health.
The most widely ahticipated hour
•on Texas’ sporting calendar arrived
last Tuesday precisely at high noon.
It marked the opening of the fall
hunting season.
Before it ends in mid-January, an
■estimated 400,000 hopeful hunters—
including young and old of
sexes, skilled and unskilled—will
have taken to field in eager expecta-
tion.
Wily mourning doves are present
targets of a thousand guns by virtue
■of a 50-day north zone season that
began September 1. The south zone
opens October 1.
Duck season Tuns from November
13 to January 1. For deer and tur-
key it begins November 16 and lasts^
until December 31, with date varia-'
lions depending on county laws.
Quail shooting becomes legal Decem-
ber 1 until January 16.
It’s a satisfying time, with man in
quiet communion with a bountiful
nature, and possessed of the killer
instinct. But all too often an omi-
nous note creeps into the happy sym-
phony.
Thirty-seven hunting enthusiasts
Tanging in age from 12 to 65 won’t
be going out this year. And for the
very best of reasons: They’re dead—
killed by their own hand or by others
during last year’s season.
Four hunters killed themselves in
attempting to clean or repair loaded
guns. Six others virtually commit-
ted suicide by crawling through
fences with gun in hand.
In other deaths the victims were
mistaken for game, or made errors in
judgment while unloading guns, or
stalking game or otherwise mishan-

new con-
also are
dling weapons.
A 12-year-old lad, a novice deer
hunter, was instantly killed when his
doting father—carrying a “ready”
rifle—tripped over a log and acci-
dentally discharged the weapon.
And in another incident the situa-
both tion was almost exactly reversed. A
boy tripped on a wooded trail. His
father was felled with a bullet in his
back.
Be smart this year and follow these
basic rules of gun safety:
Never mix fire water with fire
powder, and never point a gun at
anything you don’t intend to shoot.
Remember that only a knucklehead
would pull a gun through a fence.
The safe way is to put it over first,
making sure it is standing steady be-
fore you climb through.
Keep the safety catch ON until you
get ready to shoot, and be positive
you actually see what you’re shoot-
ing at.
Remember, too, that guns are
death traps for curious children. Un-
load yours before you get home.
We wonder just what will come
out of Washington next to enslave
and regulate the people and pile on
more taxes. In the great financial
depression years of the early thirties
when there were no jobs for young
men and some people didn’t have
enough to eat, there was created the
Civilian Conservation Corps or CCC.
Young men were employed in
building fences, clearing pastures,
sodding terrace outlets, building
roads and other work. They were
also given military training and a
portion of the government money
they earned was sent to their par-
ents.
This editor was successful in in-
ducing the Secretary of Agriculture
toi move one of these CCC camps to
Bogata, where it did .an amazing
amount of good work. But that was
during a terrible economic depres-
sion.
Now with incomes the highest in
our history, more people employed
than ever before, the Senate blos-
soms out with a bill co-sponsored by
our own Senator Ralph Yarborough
providing for Youth Conservation
Corps to provide work for boys 16 to
21. Its objective—to combat juve-
nile crime. Where do they expect to
get the money? From the tax-rid-
den payers, of course.
Congress is also responsible for a
lot of the juvenile crime sweeping
this country. It passed a law for-
bidding employers to hire a boy un-
til he was 16 years old. That is a
distinct handicap to a boy who thinks
he wants a job. He hasn’t been
taught to work and many of them
don’t have the intestinal fortitude
to learn.
It’s high time we got back to fun-
damentals with parents exercising
authority over their offspring, in-
stead of leaving the job for prison
guards to do later. We hope the
President vetoes that YCC bill.—De-
port Times.
weeks young Texans by the
sands will troop back to their class-
rooms.
Many will be entering a brand new
world. There’ll be some 250,000
first-graders, some 28,000 college
freshmen. In cities and towns across
the state, children will take their last
swim in the city pools. Parents will
re-set their alarm clocks and re-fig-
ure their budgets.
Parents of the incoming freshmen
—most of whom got their own
schooling at rock-bottom prices—
face what most will regard as an ap-
pallingly expensive future. Average
cost for a Texas college student is
$1,100 a year—not including a car,
clothes, dates, etc. In the larger
cities it may run $1,500 a year.
For four years the average is about
$5,000. But hardly any other invest-
ment can be expected to return such
handsome dividends. Statistically,
the college graduate can expect to
earn $100,000 more in his lifetime
than the non-graduate.
Aside from the students and the
parents who are affected, “back to
school” has a wider impact on the
economy. Employment will jump as
many of the jobless are absorbed in-
to the operations of the dormitories,
boarding houses, lunchrooms. Retail
stores look to the briskest sales since
Easter in the annual re-outfitting
that ranges from blue jeans to book
satchels, calicos to crayons.
Real estate, customarily, also has a
flurry as families try to “get located
before school starts.”
Why Go Back?—Why go back to
school when you can stay out and
earn some money?
Texas Board of Pardons and Pa-
roles has some sobering answers. Its
annual report shows that of 1,186
prison inmates released during the
past year, only 119 had
high school,
graduates.
Percentage is about the same for
those persons still in prison. Over-
all, the Board feels that people who
complete their educations and are
therefore able to get useful, better-
paying jobs are much less likely to
run afoul of the law.
DIVIDING IT UP—Now that all
state agencies know how much mon-
ey they’ll have for the next two
years, governing boards have been
deciding how to make the most of it.
State Hospital Board, with an ap-
propriation that jumped 8.9 percent
to $83,142,340, plans to spend $4,500,-
000 for new buildings. This will in-
clude a new 300-bed unit at the Den-
ton State School and a new home for
older patients at Denton, a new ward
building at Terrell State Hospital, a
new recreation building and ware-
house at the Austin State Hospital
and numerous road building and
renovation projects.
Texas Youth Council, with a kitty
that jumped from $7,767,441 for the
1958-59 period to $10,112,450 for the
new biennium, plans to add both
dormitories and personnel, to the two
correctional institutions,
School for Boys and
School for Girls. Some
struction and personnel
planned for the homes for orphaned
children.
Texas A&M Board of Regents has
allotted a substantial portion of the
$1,969,666 increase in its $44,174,865
appropriation for salary increases on
a merit basis. All in all, some 10
branches and services are a part of
the A&M system. New student
apartment buildings on the main
campus are in the offing.
Vet Land Program Slows—Texas
The Doctor buries his mistakes,
The Barber cuts more off,
The Dentist pulls another one,
And the Interne says “Now cough.”
The Undertaker covers up,
The Chef just calls it hash,
The Bootlegger sells it anyway,
And blames it on the mash.
The husband gets a clear divorce,
The ex-wife gets more dough,
But woe on the printer

Both blind and dumb is he,
Though he only did the best
could,
And probably for free.

WASHINGTON. — Americans
the savingest people ever.
The Federal Reserve Board
come up with a staggering figure to
prove the point. A number trailing
a long string of zeroes rarely is im-
pressive these days but this one is:
$1,721,800,000,000 {trillion).
That is the sum total of the finan-
cial assets held by the American
people at the end of last year.
The board isn’t talking in millions
or in billions,
have shot past a
are well on their way to the
trillion-dollar mark.
There are more consumers
anything and it’s consumers
have been doing most of the saving.
Their financial assets total $867.9
billion.
Commercial banks are in second
place with $238.6, corporations
third with $164.7 billion and insur-
ance companies are fourth with
$150.6 billion.
No other important group has as
much as $100 billion although the
savings institutions come close with
$95.4 billion. The Federal govern-
ment is well down the list with $40.9
billion of financial assets.
The favorite investment <
savers is corporate stock.
$245 billion of it outstanding.
The average American likes stock
much better than he likes corporate
bonds. Consumers own only $9.6
billion of bonds while insurance
companies own the lion’s share of
$59.3 billion.
What else do
Well, they have:
$92.1 Billion in time deposits.
$83.4 Billion in life insurance sav-
ings.
$64.8 Billion in pension funds.
$60.9 Billion in currency and de-
mand deposits.
$51.2 Billion in savings shares.
$47.7 Billion in U. S. savings
bonds.
$27.9 Billion in mortgages.
$25.4 Billion in municipal bonds.
$16.4 Billion in marketable gov-
ernment securities.
And $1.4 Billion in security credit.
One thing consumers do not have
is gold—at least not that they’re
talking about, for it’s against the law.
The commercial banks hold the gold
and they had $20.6 billion at the end
of last year.
