“Wherever men go they find what
they look for, and when I earn* to
Navasota. I looteed^psgood things
and found them."
So Rev. W. C. Pope, Methodist pas-
tor, told the Chamber of Commerce
today at the noon meeting, as he
spoke for the last time before this
organisation. Mr. Pope is leaving Fri-
day for his new home in Houston,
where, during the conference in
Longview, he was appointed to Park
Place Church.
The pastor reminisced on the pleas-
ant two years he ha* spent in Nava-
sota, and told President J. T. Swan-
son, who praised Mr. Pope’s work In
his introduction, that he deeply ap-
preciated the kindnesses shown him
and his family.
Mr. Swanson eaid that Navaaota
“people will miss you, and your good
will shine here years after you are
gone. Your road is higher and higher.
Classifies His Finding*
Rev. Pope classified the good
things he found in Navasota in four
groups.
and traditions are our ideals, the
the things wo believe tn. Hero you
have a town of culture and refine-
ment, a good homes, beautiful gar-
dens, good schools, and good church-
es—a tgwn with a variety of oppor-
tunities. ' •
“Secondly, there are active people
here, and activity is a sign of life.
Navasota has friendly, sympathetic
people, who give the best they have
in service, friendship, and help when
others are in need. The basic resource
of a city is not its Industry or its
agriculture but it* people and the
ideal* that lure them to higher stand-
ard* of living.
"In conclusion, Navasota ba* a le-
gion of faith—men and women who
believe in th*ir city, in people, and
in God. This city will continue to
grow sad fulfill Its purpose* because
righteousness is built into every fiber
of Mx being.”
Rev. Pope declared that he rejoiced
in being able to have had a share
in keeping Navasota sober, through
the exercise of the ballot, adding that
he hoped in future elections that dU-
sens would continue to veto Grimes
County a dry county.

HOUSTON, Nov. 10.—Per*on» who
expact to work temporarily in stores,
shop* and other business establish-
ments during the Holiday Season,
were urged by Fred C. Rogers, man-
ager of the Houston office of the So-
cial Security Board, to assui'e them-
selves that they can produce their
social security' account numbers be-
fore making applications for employ-
ment.
“Those who have not already done
so should equip themselves with an
account number becauee many em-
ployers now require numbers to be
recorded before the worker may
start on the job”, Rogers said. "Dup-
licate cards should be requested by
workers whose originally-issued card*
have b«*n loat or destroyed.”
Employment in seasonal business-

It was pointed out that th* fact
that worksrs ar* employed on a tem-
porary basis does not exclude them
from participation in th* old-age in-
surance program. Generally, any em-
ployment in the field* of commerce
and industry 1* covered.
"Employers should request all em-
ployees to obtain account numbers
promptly, sine* each employer is re-
quired to report each three month*
the name of each worker, his num-
ber, and amount of wages paid him,”
Rogers said.
"Application forms, available in
Houston at the Social Security Board
office, and elsewhere in tai* area at
post offices, should b* filled out and
returned to th* Social 8*eurity Board,
