"Although the record is avail-
able for only ten months, it
now seems fairly well assured
that 1953 will be a record year
for Texas business. The aver-
age for the index of business
activity and the average of the
Index of bank debits are sub-
j stantially higher for 1953 to
date for any previous year, In
spite of the decline since mid
year. The most significant part
of the present business picture
is the fact that the demand for

depressing influences.” ____

rieties. Sesame appears well
adapted to most of the better
soils of Texas. One. pound of
sesame seed averages about
160,000 seed. This is enough to
plant an acre. The average
yield per acre of six strains of
sesame at College Station in
1952 was 1,007 pounds of seed.
Sesame seed are small, sweet
and oily; they are free-flowing
and will keep almost indefi-
nitely. The principal market
for whole sesame seed in the
United States is in the baking
ineustry. One to two-thirds of
the seed used in this country is
as a topping for bread and
rolls. The Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station is not rec-
ommending sesame as a gen-
eral farm cron for Texas and
Washington Countv at this
Time. Growers should consider
any plantings as experiment-
al. As long as non-shattering
Strains are not available, the
cost of harvestihg would prob-
ably be a limiting factor to

The rapidly spreading informa-
tion to the effect that the level
of activity has been declining
may have brought about a
greater effort to promote busi-
ness and, thereby, have been
a factor in applying a brake to
the Hying room and dining room,
a large Christmas tree glittered
with many colored lights, and the
buffet table was centered with
an arrangement of Christmas
balls in Varied Colors and glow-
ing red candles. The delicious re-
freshments included chicken sal-
ad, sandwiches, olives, pickles,
cookies and hot coffee.

, The, speaker, only announced
candidate for governor in 1954, said
"few towns or cities of Texas are
eguipped to compete with the tele-
yon’1 company when it comes
down to a matter of making cal-
culations with respect to costs of
operation, original investment, and
items of that nature.
"You are suffering because of
this inadequacy and so am I." Sen-
terfitt said "Many people believe
that we are paying telephone rates
that are too high. Perhaps it is
the fault of the telephone company,
and perhaps it is the fault of gov-
einment regulation."

The reason the Memorial hos-
pital is like home to the pretty
33-year-old Mrs. King is that she
is a student nurse there. Ever
since she* has been in the hoe- .
pital in Brenham one or more of *
her classmates have come to
Brenham every day to help take
care of her Thad’s another thing
Mrs. King is thankful for.
Although she is much improv-
ed she wil have to spend many
more days in the hospital in
Houston. But when she gets out
of the hospital bed she won't
leave the hospital. She will stay
right there to finish the last sev-
en months of her nursing course
which she began more than two .
years ago.
Before going to Houston, where
she married Hloyd King five
months ago, Mrs King worked
as a nurse's aid for a year and
a halt al the Lee Memorial Hos
pital in Giddings. She is also a
graduate of Dime Box High
School. Her husband is an ap-
prentice toolmakr in Houston.
Although Mm King will spend
Christmas in a hospital bed she’ll
feel at home. And she's thankful
to be there alive.
