BRIGHTER WEATHER — Tex-
as Securities Board reviewed its
first year as a separate state ag
ency and declared the "investment
climate" had improved under
tougher regulation.
Securities Board was set up by
the last Legislature by combining
functions formerly handled partly
by the Secretan- of State's office,
partly by the Insurance Depart-
ment.
Texas' investment climate "was
very poor" when the new law
went into effect, said Board Chair-
man Maurice Bullock. Score for
the "tightening-up" years: (1) a
drop of 37 per cent in the num-
ber of licensed securities dealers,
(2) investigation under way in 219
cases of possible securities law vi-
olation and (3) 75 cases referred
to district attorneys over the
state.
Bullock said the Board's aim

Teacher pay raises, an issue
that has packed legislative galler-
ies in past years, will probably re-
turn next session.
Base pay raises of almost S600
a year will be recommended to
the Legislature by the Hale-Aikin
Committee. This group of 24 law-
makers and private citizens has
spent almost two years in a mas-
sive study of w a y s to improve
Texas' public school program.
Its recommendations, now being
readied for final presentation,
would, for the most part, involve
extra spending running into the
millions. Cost of moving up the
floor on teacher salaries is esti- j
mated at $70,000.000 a year.
objections.
Rep. L. DeWitt Hale of Corpus
Christi. co-chairman, voted ag-
ainst the raise recommendation.
He said this, plus other proposals
would mean "about a quarter oi
a billion dollar tax bill."
Other committee members said,
they felt the problem was not a
shortage of teachers, but unequal
distribution. While small districts
may have trouble filling faculties,
they said, some cities have a sur-
plus.
Many legislators, elected on
"economy in government" plat
age legitimate offerings.
LOCAL PARKS URGED — Sev-
eral parks now under the admin-
istration of the State Parks Board
should logically be in the hands
of local communities, according to
State Auditor C. H. Cavness.
Cavness' audit report on the
Parks Board noted that Gonzales

WATER NEEDS FORECAST —
Demand for Texas surface water is
expected to triple in the next 50
years. Prediction is by Harry P.
Burleigh, area engineer for the
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Where will it all come from?
Burleigh says enough water is
now being wasted to meet that de-
mand. Problem of saving it is up
to engineers to solve. Needed is
a simple, low-cost means of cap-
turing run-off water now flowing
into the Gulf of Mexico and de-
livering it to points where it is
needed.
Burleigh was one of 10 speakers
at a water conference sponsored
by Texas A&M College. Gov. Price
Daniel praised the recently adopt-
ed statewide water program and
urged against sliding back into
apathy as a result of recent dro-
ught-breaking rains.
Revision in the rate structure
for city water users was proposed
as one means of conservation.
Lubbock hydrologist W. L. Broad-
hurst said that increasing the rate
instead of decreasing it as more
water is used would cut down
household waste.
HIGHWAY WORK AT PEAK—
Two-thirds the way through 195®
the State Highway Department al-
ready has placed as much high-
way construction work under con-
tract as in the entire record-set-
ting year of 1957.
Total for this year reached:
$224,000,000 this month. Low bids
opened in a two-day tabulation!
for this month's proposed proj-
ects amounted to $28,669.432. De-
partment spending on Texas roads
in the next three years is expect-
ed to reach- one billion dollars.
Highway Chairman Marshall
Formby said

It's not so many years since I played in the Friday After-
noon String Quartet at Professor Johnson's house. I'm the
one by the bookshelves, with the violin.
During those sessions, I sometimes wished I were out-
doors kicking a football around. Yet if the Professor had told
me to go, I would have been disappointed.
Even as a kid, I realized what a good and kind man Mr.
Johnson was. We used to see him in Church every Sunday—I
don't think he ever missed—and he did so many fine things.
When he died, our minister said that he had been truly humble,
and therefore truly great.
Our minister is a wonderful man, too. I should know—
I've been going to his church all my life . . . Our church!
These then have been the three great influences in my
life—the professor, our minister, and my parents. They have
placed my feet on the path I hope to follow always.
Now the rest of the way, with God's help, is up to me.
