hfilp. . . THAT'S WHAT YOU GET PLENTY OF WITH YOUR TELEPHONE
Your phone makes it so easy to get things done. Calls to order things, to find
out things, to tell the news, to organize activities—or you name it.
The busier you are, the more helpful the telephone is. Day in and day out, your
phone is an important part of your busy life.
When you stop to think about it, is there really anything else that helps you so
much for so little1? Or that is of so much personal value?

JUDGE W. C. DOWDY
While in the A. E. F. he took part
in the Meuse-Argonne offensive in
France, and was in the army of oc-
cupation in Germany. He then studi-
| ed law at the Inns of Court in Lon-
don, returned to America, and was
honorably discharged on August 1,
1919.
Judge Dowdy has always been ac-
tive in church and civic affairs. He
is an elder of Trinity United Presby-
terian Church, and served as clerk of
the session for many years. He en-
joys a record of more than 41 years
perfect attendance at his Sunday
School. He is a former’ president of
the Lions Club; a past commander of
the Jimmie Geigas post American
Legion, a member of the V. F. W.,
and is active in several lodges and
fraternities.
He has served as president of the
Collin County Bar Association, dis-
trict director of the Texas State Bar;
is a member of the American Bar As-
sociation, Texas State Bar, and the
Judicial Conference of Texas.
Judge Dowdy’s many friends say
he has an excellent record as a judge,
is well qualified to continue in office,
is fair, competent, courteous and
diligent in his work.
In making his
Judge Dowdy stated:
I am happily married to the for-
mer Emily Gilson, an ex-school
teacher, and we have three children,
a lawyer son, a doctor son and a
lovely daughter.
When I became judge of the 59th
district court, I determined to give
my undivided attention to the judi-
cial business of this area. As a con-
sequence I have tried many civil and
criminal cases in the two counties,
and many other counties in Texas.
Some have been appealed to the
higher courts and most of them have
been affirmed. I am sure I enjoy a
reputation as an able, cautious and
learned trial judge with all the ap-
pellate judges of Texas. Several of
the rulings I have made are still be-
ing quoted by the higher courts and
have caused new and better law to
be made. This is gratifying to the
lawyers and judges alike.
I have tried to work pleasantly and
constructively with the lawyers,
jurors, grand jurors, and jury com-
Judge W. C. Dowdy of McKinney
has announced his candidacy for re-
election to the office of the 59th Dis-
trict Court.
A descendant of pioneer Collin
County families, and a long time resi-
dent of McKinney, Judge Dowdy has
been elected to the judgeship for five
consecutive terms without opposi-
tion, and has voiced his appreciation
to the lawyers and people of Collin
and Grayson counties for this con-
tinued expression of confidence. z
He was educated in the Collin rural
and McKinney public schools, and is
a 1916 graduate of the law school of
the University of Texas. He was ac-
tive at the university, president of
his middle law class, and a leader in
his faternity of Kappa Sigma.
Upon graduation he returned to
McKinney and engaged in the gen-
eral practice of law. After taking
time out for service with the A. E. F.
in France, he resumed his law prac-
tice for several years before becom-
ing. assistant county attorney. He
then served two terms as county at-
torney, and again engaged in the
general practice of law until he was ' missioners in my two counties, and
appointed District Judge. I with my fellow judges in Grayson

W. J. Davis.
Texas’ Friendship Day was observ-
ed by the Friday Literary Club last
Friday when each member brought a
friend to the meeting, which was held
at the Firemen’s Hal. Serving as
joint hostesses for this occassion were
Mrs. Russell Summers, Mrs. Glen
Earnheart, and Mrs. Joe Crouch. The
map of Texas, the flag of Texas, and
a bowl of Texas Bluebonnets con-
tributed a patriotic touch to the set-
ting.
Mrs. Roy Blanton, president of the
Friday Club, opened the meeting
with a warm welcome to visitors and
good wishes and a Texas poem for
all. She introduced Mrs. Dale Gore,
who presented the guest pianist of
the day. Mrs. Guy Hamilton, ex-

Four books about Texas written by
Texas women were discussed by Miss
Gladys Ray. The books were “Dreams
of an Empire” by Sallie Glasscock of
Houston; “Early Texas Homes” by
Dorothy K. Bracken and Maurine
Redway; “Washington Wife” by Ellen
Maury Slayden of San Antonio, and
“Three at the Wedding” by Loula
Grace Erdman of Amarillo and Can-
yon. These books related the story
of Texas from the earliest coloniza-
tion by the Austins to the present
time of oil and sudden wealth in the
Panhandle.
A delightful social hour was enjoy-
ed after the program when refresh-

FRANKFURT, Germany — A
: woman doctor told the Auschwitz
death camp trial she watched Gesta-
po guards burning babies alive.
Dr. Ella Lingens, a former Aus-
■ chwitz inmate, said the camp com-
. mandant ordered the babies burned
because there was no room for them
in the jammed gas chambers.
The white-haired witness describ-
ed what she saw to the court trying
21 ex-Gestapo men and a turncoat
inmate charged with helping murder
2.5 to 4 million persons at Auschwitz.
“One day I saw a giant flame shoot
up in front of one of the crematories.
Another woman inmate and I sneak-
ed to the end of the camp where we
saw a few Nazi SS men throw some-
thing into the flames of a burning
open pit,” she said.
“As we - came closer, we saw it
was bundles of something, bodies or
old clothing. Suddenly one of the SS
men threw something that moved.
“I said, oh, my God, he’s throwing
a dog in there. But I was near-sight-
ed. I wore my eyeglasses but they
were not strong enough.
“The other woman said, it’s not a
dog. Its a child, a living child. Then
we had to move back to avoid being
spotted. I said it can’t be true. Only
after we heard that (Camp Com-
mandant Rudolf) Hoess had ordered
to burn children alive because there
was no more room in the gas cham-
bers did I believe it,”
said.
The defendants listened without
showing emotion.

Oklahoma City (Pop. 325,000) has
been getting sonic-boomed the day-
lights out of since Feb. 3, in a six-
month government test to see how
people and structures stand up under
jet-plane noises.
The structures are yet to be heard
from, but the people already are
sounding off. A lot vociferously don’t
like it, but the more civic-minded,
including the Chamber of Commerce,.
County. I treasure the many friend-
ships I have made through these as-
sociations.
I I have endeavored to be a judge’s
judge as well as a people’s judge. I
am an active member of the Texas
Judicial Section of the State Bar, and
now enjoy seniority in this group,
I have spoken on a number of legal
subjects at the judges’ meetings, in-
! eluding court charges, special issues,
i forms for jury charges in compen-
| sation cases, and have presented pa-
i pers on other legal subjects. For two
years I worked as chairman of a
committee preparing Canons of Judi- are pro-boom because Oklahoma City
cial Ethics which were unanimously ; is an aviation-industry center,
adopted by the Texas judges last fall,'
(Texas Bar Journal, Feb., 1964.) Al-
so I have been a member of the
Judges’ committee for revising the
Code of Criminal Procedure and
Penal Code of Texas. Many of our
suggestions have already been adopt-
ed. For our own court I have pre-
pared printed forms for charges in
damage and compensation cases, and
jury instructions thus saving many
valuable hours of court time.
I sincerely hope that you, the vot-
ers of Collin and Grayson counties,
will honor me with another term as
your district judge. I only ask that
you consider my record. If you re-
elect me, I shall continue to be fair,
courteous and diligent, upholding the
dignity of the court. I have faith in
you and believe that the voters of
Collin and Grayson Counties will cast
their balllots for the man they hon-
estly believe is best qualified for the
office.
How will it come out, we can’t,
foretell, but be were struck by a
slight progress report on Federal
Aviation Adm. Najeeb Halaby.
He said “The curious are on one
side, the furious on the other side,
and the average man is the one we
want to hear from.”
He couldn’t have put it better — as
any newspaper editor knows. —Fort.
