In the Orange area, the increase in

gether with the influx of newcomers now
making their homes in Texas, swelled the
population past the 10 3 million mark.
This big jump in the number of Texans
has been accompanied by considerable im-
provement in their standard of living. Along
with that has come increased pressures for
state and local governmental services cost-
ing a lot more money than was spent for
such things two years ago.
Cities, counties and school districts, as
well as the state government, have felt these
pressures and will continue to feel them
for as long as the population and the stan-
dard of living are rising.
Taxpayers also have felt these pressures ..
in the form of higher state and local taxes.
And they may as well make up, their minds
to handing over more and more of their
incomes to state and local agencies of
government.
Fortunately, the federal government is
reducing its taxes and this will offset the
increases in state and local taxes with per-
haps even a little left over for the taxpayers.
But we who live in areas where both the
population and the standard of living are
rising may not expect a great deal of
profit from the federal tax cuts The normal
increase in state and local governmental
costs, coupled with our demands for im-
proved public services, is going to use up
much of what Uncle Sam is giving back to
us.

NEW YORK (AP) - Speedy
defense is counted upon to pro-
tect the world's two most im-
portant currencies — the Amer-
ican dollar and the British
pound.
And the speed with which the
twq nations moved after a spec-
ulative run started against the
pound also is seen as a measure
of the danger which such a run
posed for the whole delicate bal-
ance of international finance.
London’s move was drastic —
a quick raising of the Bank of
England's lending rate to 7 per
cent from 5 per cent. Washing-
ton's move was moderate — an.
equally quick raising of the
Federal Reserve's discount rate
to 4 per cant from 3% per ceut
This was a gesture of warning
that the dollar would be defend-
ed from raiders rather than a
real deterrent to any possible
big loss of dollars overseas
Higher interest rates at these
basic levels is likely to mean
higher borrowing costs in time
through much of the economies
of the two nations. And that in
turn can dampen some business
expansion, some consumer buy-
ing.
Neither is eager for that. The
real aim is quite different. In
London’s case it it to halt the
outflow of the pound sterling
because imports top exports to
a dangerous degree. In Wash-
ington’s case it is to hold the
outfow of dollars to a modest
stream rather than a possible

ideas in government. He may

What is the best home remedy '
if it is suspected that someone
has swallowed a poison?
When poisoning is suspected,
call tof medical help immedi-
ately. Many cities have a poi-
son control center which will
make an immediate suggestion
when they are told the nature
of the suspected poison.
Victims can usually benefit
from being made to vomit. Bak-
ing soda or household salt in
warm water may accomplish
this. Placing a finger in the
back of the throat will also
help to induce vomiting. Keep
the container of the suspected
poison for rapid identification,
so that the proper antidpte can
be given immediately.
Prevention, of course, should
An upsurge in population within a terri-
tory inevitably is followed by an increase in
the cost of state and local government. The
same is true of improvement in the standard
of living among the people of any given area.
. . When the population gain and the rise in
She standard of living occur simultaneously
he cost of state and local government in-
variably outstrips existing tax resources.
We have been experiencing this inevitably
in both the Orange area and in the State
of Texas as a whole for most of the period
beginning with the end of World War II.
The Texas Legislature was slow in re-
ponding to that situation with the result
ahat the state government's general fund
was consistently in the red for year after
ear.
.2 Finally, this was remedied through adop-
jtion of a selective sales tax and other changes
Jn the state's revenue structure. But the
present "good financial situation of the state
iovernment cannot continue without some
Sort of new taxes and the 1965 legislature
'will have to face up to the fact.
Over the past two years, according to
the Texas Department of Health, almost
one-half million babies were born in this
state. For the same time period 165,160
Texans died — representing a ratio of al-
most three births for every death.
The excess of births over deaths during
the two years added some 320,000 people to
■ the population of Texas. That increase, to-
church on Thanksgiving, mgr-
ing, you probably will have less
trouble finding a parking place
than the Pilgrims did in lending
off Indians.

It is easier to shave in the

many barbers — your beard
doesn’t grow as fast now as it

You don’t have to fret so

rioting when the temperature

NEW YORK (AP) - There

As Thanksgiving approaches,
the cynics murmur, "The
world's in a mess. What have I
got to give thanks about? What
has anybody?”
If you are one of thesegloom
spreaders, take heed. There’s
always something in life to be
grateful for. Right now.

In a free country such as this,
you have just as much right to

Individual needs require in-
dividual types of laxatives.
Far too many people use and
become dependent on laxatives
unnecessarily. Well - balanced
diets with adequate stewed and
fresh fruits and vegetables, and
plenty of water, can often
break the laxative habit.
There are no time clpcks in
the intestinal tract. There is
no qeed for panic or undue con-
cern if irregularity does occur.
Any change in the bowel hab-

should be studied by the physi-

in a little while, all the fish in the hole. large
and small, would be swimming along the top of
the water gasping for oxygen. They were then
scooped up with bare hands, dish pans, straw hats, .
or anything else that was handy.
As a rule, the muddying party took along some
corn meat, salt. onions, a few other edibles, a
frying pan and some grease. Any fish caught were
fried and eaten on the creek bank.
In size they ran from a few ounces to 20-
poundars and surprising as it may be, the fish
crop in the creek after the fall, winter and spring
rains always seemed to be as big as ever each
year despite the summertime muddying.
I imagine this was because most of the .creeks
were short an I a new supoly of fish migrated
up them from the Sabine River during the pe-
riod when the tributaries were filled with
water.
As tar as I know, creek muddying parties dis-
appeared from the scene in East Texas along
about the time I left the farm. Whether because
they were made illegal by state law or for some
other reason, I am not sure.

Which reminds me of a popular pastime that I
participated in on a number of occasions as a

the game and fish laws.
This was a sport known as "muddying the
creek” and if somebody hadn't already engaged in
it at the chosen spots, the muddlers usually ended
up with a mess of fish and at least one moc-
casin make. . /
Crecks to the part of East Texas where I grew
up were prone to dwindle to a trickle or stop
running entirely during the summer season. When
that occurred, the fish in them became concen-.
trated in the deep holes.

sometimes whole families, and occasionally

was the joke going the rounds
then.
From the beginning, vice
presidents had a lost feeling.
The first, John Adams, felt he
held “the most insignificant of:
fice that ever the invention of
man contrived or his imagina-
tion conceived.”
John Nance Gamer summing
up his job in 1934, likened the
vice presidency to a spare lire:
as long as everything rolls
smoothly, little attention is paid
toft.
But even then a trend had be-
gun to give the vice president,
more responsibilities and duties
Herbert Hoover once said he
was the first chief executive to
enlarge the field of the vice
president by having Charles
Curtis attend Cabinet sessions
“so he would know what was
going on in the executive arm of
the government, and would be
better prepared to take over the
presidency if needed.”

. gated important administrative
duties to Henry Wallace in

Sabine River catfish would spurn on the grounds
of infenticide even though other catfish are one of
his favorite foods.
Even so, I thank Mrs. Holbrook for the nega-
