Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel looked
with favor on this section of East
Texas for the fourth time this
week when he appointed Judge
Edwin Lacy, Longview attorney,
farmer and oil operator, to the
vacated office on the Public Safety
Commission.
Lacy is well known in Hender-
son as he served as district attor-
ney for this district for one term
in 1905-07. Gregg and Rusk coun-
ties were at that time in the same
district.
Other appointments of persons
well known to Henderson and Rusk
County residents during the
O'Daniel administration have been
the naming of Brady Gentry of
Tyler, a former candidate for con-
gress, to the Texas Highway Com-
mission; Walter C. Strong, Hen-
derson attorney, to the Board of
Pardons and .Paroles;' and Judge
Beeman Strong, native of Rusk
County, to the Texas Welfare
Commission.
Lacy, at 59, long has been noted
for his activities in fighting graft
and corruption in public office.
He was born in Gregg County,
and at the age of 19 obtained a
license to practice law. His first
public office was at 21, when he
was elected Gregg County attor-
ney. He served there two years,
was elected for a term as county
judge and then went into the dis-
trict attorney's office.
He owns farm and oil property
in the East Texas field. Lacy has

DALLAS. — Former President
Herbert Hoover, in charge of the
National Finnish relief fund, to-

Part of Mr. Hoover’s message

out to the people of and the press
of . . . Texans for the magnifi-
cent way in which they have re-
sponded to our call for help.”

ning over Billy McGehee of New

CHAMBERLAIN CHEVROLET CO
—
Third District Commander Ralph
D. Holman of the American
Legion, today warned all veteran*
of the World War who have not
filed for adjusted service certifi-
cates (commonly known as "bon-
us”) that the deadline filing date
is Jan. 2, 1940. ,
Those who have certificates,
Holman said, must make applica-
tion for exchanging them for bonds 9
before Jan. 2. — • . |
There are 150.000 veterans in 3
Texas — likely some in the third
American Legion district — who
have not received their bonus* H
money from the Federal govern- -2
ment, the commander stated, em-
phasizing the fact that the dead-
line date has been st and that
after that time it will be impos-E
sible to receive the service re-
yards, w r ? *
"Those who have received onlyK
one-half of the bonus but who have
not filed for the remainder by Jan.
2, also.” Holman stated.
If veterans died before applying
for the bonus, he said, payments 2
may be made to dependents in ten -
equal, quarterly payments—if ap- "
plications are made immediately.
Holman said that bonds will
draw interest (3 percent per an-
num) until June 15, 1945.

Jaycees Plan New
Member Campaign
A Jaycee membership drive that
will add to the rolls of the junior
chamber and raise a fund fora
part of the 1940 program of work
was discussed last night at the
organization's final meeting of the
year, held at the American Legion
Hut.
The extensive campaign for
new members was talked at length
at a meeting of the new and old
board of directors, held after the
dinner. Efforts to interest more
new young men of the city in ac-
tive membership cards and tn
enlisting associate members among
merchants who approve the work
of the junior chamber will be en-
larged upon at later meetings. 3
Plans for the inauguration of
the new president and officers
early in January were discussed.
No definite date or Arrangements
have been completed for the in-
augural banquet, however.

He was outstanding against
Gladewater, Texarkana and Mar-
shall, Weak sisters in District 11.

play. Tucker then lists a crew of
backs—twenty in all—who he
rates better than Tysgn. Included
in that group was Tyler’s lame
quarterback, Walton Roberts.
Here’s what Jinx had to say
about Roberts : “I know Tyson is
ngt the equal of Roberts of Tyler
when the latter is in shape.” That,
my friends, myst have made Me-
Cauley all smiles, for it gave the
Tyler scribe a chance to slip in
a notation to this writer in his
column as an answe.r to what we
once wrote about Roberta being
overrated.
K’s true, we never saw Roberts
in action when he "was in shape”
but we believe we saw enough of
hjm against Nacogdoohes and
Waco to wonder how he made
the AH-Distriot 11-AA team. He
seored lots of points, completed
a good percentage of his passes,
and wqg a fairly smart quarter-
back. But what about his -punt-
ing, his blocking and his defen-
sive play? Those points are to be
considered when it gets down to
picking four backs from the en-
tire state as the “cream of the
crop.”
Roberts’—and Munson’s—case
reminds us of a similar situation
that happened last season and the
year before at Rice Institute. Ya’
know, the* Owls had a fair-to-
middlin’ sophomore player down
there three yers ago in Ernie
Lain of Mexia. Big Ernie was a
sensation as a freshman and a
soph, but he was injured the next
two years and received little at-
tention when time came for all-
cphference teams to be selected.
Why? Because they had no basis

out there every Saturday. I have
a lot of respect for Waco, but I
feel that Lubbock’s momentum
will carry, it right. through the
championship game—say by a
score of 18 to 6.”
Bob Cooke of the Sweetwater
Reporter, who saw Sweetvrater
lose its only game of the season
to ekt-,6-0, said—hewas
“afraid ubbock has too much,
will take Tyson’s Tigers, 13 to 7.”
Floyd Aten Jr. of the Tvler
’ Courier Times saw Waco whip
the Tyler Lions twice. He wired
“Lubbock bound to be good along
with playing inspired football
but Waco has too much weight,
power for Westerners tp over-
come. My guess: Waco 20, Eub-
boek 7.”
Aten, incidentally, was the most,
enthusiastic Waco believer in the
group. Other writers picked Waco
by one touchdown and none
thought that the Tigers could
hold Lubbock scoreless. One wri-
ter only pickde Lubbock to keep
Waco from scoring. He was
George Huckabay of the United
Press, who was a Woodrow Wil-
son booster all year until he saw
the West Texans smash the Dallas
team 14 to 0 last Saturday. That
was his prediction for tomorrow:
Lubbock 14, Waco 0.
And ho the poll went, one writer
diametrically differing With an-
other.
Allen Bogan of the Dallas
Journal liked Lubhock, by a score
of 13 to 7, while Bill McClanahan,
writing for the Dallas News,
picked Waco, 20 to 13.
This corner favors Waco, two
touchdowns to one, and other
predictions included:
Jerry Malin, Amarillo News-
Globe, Lubbock 21, Waco 13;
bred W. Parnell, Mineral Wells
