one of the best we have ever had.
Our young folks were so very good

provided for our youth and that’s
what they want, they are young
just full of that good old fun, just
as you and I were at that age, and
how we would like to be that age

I feel that the young people in

that gets the job done. Thank you |

Crime and Punishment
If you think that American law treats its citizens with
equal justice, hear the plight of the Maine lobster fishermen.
They have been prosecuted under the anti-trust laws,
because they agreed among themselves to catch fewer lob-
sters. They did this because they thought they were being
underpaid, that lobster prices were too low.
These losers (to the anti-trust law were not tycoons and
giant corporations.; They were just ordinary Americans.
Yet, American law allows exactly this kind of thing to
happen if the offending party is a labor union,or a group of
labor unions. In fact at one time John L. Lewis, alone, de-
cided to restrict the production of coal to increase the price.
He was immune.”
Qurprie in “equal justice under the law” requires that
scongress act against labor union monopolies next session.

FACT AND FANCY
By WALTER H. RICHTER
Top-Flight Salesmen
How is retail trade doing?
Reports from every section of the country show gains in
volume. And this is a real shot in the arm to an economy
that was sagging. Increased sales at the retail level mean
increased orders at the wholesale level. The factory wheels
spin, the unemployment rolls drop, and everyone feels the
good effects in one fashion or another.
The retailers of this country deserve credit for helping
hold the line. They are top-flight salsmen. When the recess-
ion moved in, they didn’t turn to the wailing walls and bow
their heads. They did everything in their power to attract
business and to stimulate trade. They kept up their advertis-
ing and in many instances increased it. They made their dis-
plays more attractive. They offered the best possible prices.
And consumers read, looked, and responded.
And that’s one important reason why the recession has
been milder than many people anticipated. But it should
never be forgotten that the benefits of mass distribution as
typified by the major chain store systems can only continue
to be achieved in a free market economy. Nor should it be
u forgotten that if the country is in for another round of in-
flation the inevitable consequences of rising costs cannot be
stopped at the retail counter.

A good cover of winter legumes
will improve your cropland and
give it much needed protection
from wind and water erosion. Le-
gumes such as vetch or winter
peas will improve the fertility and
texture of your soils. They will
also help to retain moisture that
will be needed for your cash crops
next summer.
Now is the time to do your win-

1 note with interest that the
peacetime Army at Fort Sam
Houston is giving some attention
to the matter of overweight per-
sonnel. It stands to reason that
the boys who do our fighting for us
ought to be slim and trim—and be-
sides, those extra pounds of lard
are bound to cost us tax-payers.
However, I have a feeling that
this plan, however laudable, is
doomed to failure.
As I read it, unit commanders
and section chiefs are to detect in-
dividuals who are overweight and
establish for them a “positive and
progressive” program of weight
reduction. These very unit com-
manders and unit chiefs, I predict,
will not be in any shape to enforce
such a program; most of them
have too much weight themselves
to be throwing it around.
Now, if the brass would also
participate, this would put some
teeth into the program. However,
I doubt that many of them would
have the stomach for throwing a
G. I. in the brig for refusing to
give up his potatoes, gravy, suds,
and other high calorie delicacies
like that.
Of course, a week in isolation on
bread (Ry-Krisp, of course) and
water, would certainly take off the
pounds. It would likely also eli-
minate any inclination the soldier
might have to re-enlist.
I doubt seriously that this pro-
gram will succeed unless the brass
decides to go back to the old sure-
fire wartime weight-reducing tech-
niques. Like, for example, all-day
drills, enforced marches, obstacle

At Georgetown Meet
The Dime Box Chapter of the
Future Homemakers of America
attended the District IV meeting
held at the Southwestern Univers-
ity Campus at Georgetown, Satur-
day, Oct. 25, 1958.
The program theme “Careers
Unlimited” was very interesting.
Morning workshops were pro-
vided to give members a better
understanding and for improving
the program of work.
Two main entertaining features
of the program were the "Rhythm
Rockers” of Lampasas High School
and “Cornet Trio” from Killeen
High School.
Those attending were: Joyce

Susie Whitsel, Andrea Smith, Jean

Each year in the last decade, industry has invested hundreds
of millions of dollars in the Gulf South--the area served by United Gas.
These investments were made because the Cull South had the solution to specific location
problems—greater markets, more diversified raw materials, better
transportation, fewer lost man hour* because of adverse weather.
Here, too, is natural gas, in quantities to solve industry’s fuel
problems. Investigate the Gulf South aa a location
