Thoughts About
Griping
By HARRY AUSTIN CLAPP
On Saturday, May 4, 1935 College-
port’s new community house known
as Mopac House will be opened at one
o’clock in the afternoon with a lun-
cheon served by the Collegeport
WWoman’s Club and the tickets will
cost fifty cents each These tickets
figuring on the basis of our depreciat-
ed dollars amount to about thirty
cents. A very interesting program is
being arranged and several prominent
men will speak, among them being
Mr Roy Miller, Mr A D. Jackson and
Mr R W Persons of the Texas A
& M College The toastmaster will
be that master of toasts, Mr, E. O.
Taulbee, All this for the small sum
of fifty centimes or the half of a
dollar, or so the ordinary many may
understand, just four bits.
This week, 1 have been informed
that some of our local burghers are
what is called “griping" at the cost.
I confess that I was ignorant of the
meaning of the word "gropon " so I
looked it up and I find that it means
“to suffer griping pains; pinching
and spasmodic pains in tire intestines;
pinching distress; griping poverty."
After reading all this 1 tremble at
the awful indictment Suppose we re-
View the situation and see if there is
any reasonable cause for these grip-
ing intestinal pains. About twenty-
five years ago Mis. Dena D Hurd
conceived the idea of a public libra-
ry She gathered about her a few
souls who liked the idea. Some of
them ire with her this day. They
started the library and although for
years it had no home it has grown
tunitil now it has about 1600 books. A
few years ago the Collegeport Indus-
trial League bought a block of ground
near the school house and also bought
a small bungalow. This was moved
onto the lot, Improved with sheet
rock and paint, furnished and since
then the library has enjoyed a per-
manent home. During the last fifteen
months the league has secured pos-
session by gift from the Missouri Pa-
cific Railway of the old depot mill this
has been wrecked and from the ma-
terial has been built a substantial
building for a community house
known as Mopac House. This build-
ing 11 92 feet long and 25 feet wide
and furnishes excellent quarters for
the library, a reading room, a kitch-
I show appreciation, eateern, regard,
for the efforts of a few faithful wom-
en who have stood by this people for
a quarter of a century. We have asked
our riends in Matagorda County to
come May 4 and play with us. Can
it be possible that, for the paltry sum
of four bits our home folk will re fuse
their hospitality and be willing to
stand on the road side holding the
horse while the elephants go by?
This is your library. Mopac House is
yours. Come out May 4. Show that
you appreciate what you have Eat
good food, listen to splendid talks and
while enjoying these things be happy
in the thought that at this late day
you have the chance to aid the proj-
ect in a small way.
The Bay City Chamber of Commerce
gives notice that because San Jacin-
to day falls on Sunday the 21st the
day will be observed on Monday.
Quite as important an event also
happened on that day, but the world
will not postpone the celebration be-
cause it comes on Sunday Sunday is
the day we celebrate as the day Je-
sus rose from the dead.
Mi Weaver of the Weaver Manufac-
turing Co., Springfield, III, was here
Saturday trying to locate some lots
he owns. If he was successful he no
doubt found them fenced in and
used for pasture. 1 see by the papers
that Texas will receive about forty-
eight million dollars from the Wash-
ington government. That’s a lot of
money and should go a long ways
fixing up highways. Now if we can
get the highway commission to set
aside just one-third of one cent for
each of those forty-eight millions we
will have plenty of money with which
to build the causeway. One third of
one cent! That is not much to ask for
and those who are interested on both
sides of the bay and over at Mata-
gorda should begin to get restless and
hustle around a bit. The county health
nurse made her quarterly visit to
Collegeport Thursday and attended
the regular monthly meeting of the
Woman’s Club. She gave a very in-
structive talk about health work in
Matagorda County. Her next visit will
be about the 18th day of July. Tonsils,
adenoids, itch, athlete feet and con-
cordance of the distebtion area will
just have to wait until then for re-
lief and advice. We trust that Mrs
Patricia Martyn will be here on May
4 at the opening of the Mopac House
and we also have hopes that Mrs
Leola Cox Sides will be present and
dust off some of the Mopac House
dust catchers.
The speaking program for Mopac
Day so far as may be announced will
be as follows Reverend Paul Engle

THE BOOK
Paul’s Spirit Marches On.
What sort of a man was Paul who
endured so much and triumphed so
abundantly? He was nervous, aggres-
sive, self-assertive, proud a little man
apparently, with weak eyes or some
other physical infirmity.
Ye know how through infirmity of
the flesh I preached the gospel unto
you at the first.
And my temptation which was in
my flesh ye despised not, nor reject-
ed, but received me as an angel of
God, even as Jesus Christ.
If it had be n possible ye would
have plucked out your own eyes, and
given them to me.
Less eloquent than Apollos, he ad-
mits frankly that his bodily presence
was unimpressive and testifies to
some "thorn in the flesh" that was
a constant source of suffering and
humiliation He delighted in words of
power, which recure in his letters!
come to this meeting next Tuesday.
It certainly is to his interest to get
as nearly all the information as is
possible and then make up his mind
as to what he intends to do relative to
co-operating with the secretary of ag-
riculture in the rice program this
year.
I ETTERS
Mr IF O. Montague, Bay City,
Texas. Dear Mr. Montague: I have
your letter of the 13th with reference
to the unusual occurrence of snarls
destroying beans. The only informa-
tion we have which would suggest
the nature of control measures is that
poison bran bait be used as for cut
worms. I imagine the snails to which
you refer have shells and remain on
the plants during the day rather than
seek hiding places in the soil.
Pyrethrum is a quick acting insec-
ticide which was excellent when used
in combination with sulphur for con-
trolling the bean leaf hopper. This
insect, however, is usually not as
abundant in the spring but is a lim-
iting factor in thy fall. I mention

Holmes, also a small man, he admired | this be cause of th ■ good effect it has
athletics and his writings abound withalso in controlling the belted cucum-
perfect health today.
This would tend to convince us
that dirt does not always kill I have
seen doens of patients that lived like
swine make the most astonishing re-
coveries from serious disease.
But this is not by any means an
argument for carelessness in treat-
ment: we shall go on guarding against
all chance of infection with ..11 our
souls and bodies. That the dirty pa-

Farm Notes
Every rice farmer in Matagorda
County is urged to be present in the
city hall next Tuesday afternoon at
3 o'clock to hear a discussion on this
oak in Matagorda
County. These
worms are commonly called the for-
est caterpillars. They are rather gen-
eral in their habits of feeding upon
oaks, poplars and other trees.
We are very much interested to
learn the identification of this pest,
as there was a pest working on oaks
in Galveston County last year. That
one, however, proved to be a different
insect.
Suggested control of the forest cat-
erpillar is aresnate of lead spray.
These caterpillars, however, are so
nearly full grown that I doubt if the
spray would do much good. As a gen-
eral rule, there is only one generation
a year, although that generation has
a wide spread; and when they get on
the trees and are smaller in size,
spraying would undoubtedly be of
value.- — Signed: F. L. Thomas, chief.

vent it. Like every other human
problem there is no single, simple
answer, but it looks to us about like
this:
There are two classes of nations,
those that have got what they want
and those that are dissatisfied with
their share of the earth's area and
resources. In the first class are the
British Empire, France and the Unit-
ed S ates. We might include a num-
ber of smaller nations, such as Hol-
land. Belgium and Portugal, which
have enormous colonial empires in
Africa and Asia, and a few others that
are too small to initiate any kind of
war, even if they wanted something
the other fellow has In the second
class are Germany, Japan and Italy.
None of them is stisfied with what it
has, and each of them is feeling an
increasing pressure of population upon
it natural resources.
Now, these nations which want to
keep things as they are got what they
have by colonizing uncivilized regi-
ons, or by fighting weaker nations
for possession of their land and re-
sources That is the way the Britsih
empire was built up, that is how
en the I. C. C . the Wagner labor bill,

South American colonies, that is the
way the United States gained its
Southwest and the Pacific coast which
plans to lake the profit out of war and
the war out of neutrality are among
the measures which will be pushed by
individual legislators and groups.
Some of these are more worthy of
early action than the first two on the
president's list. For both the social
security and holding company bills
are highly controversial and should
have the fullest study. There is no
overwhelming public demand for them
and there are serious objections which
should be thoroughly considered.
There is need for prompt decisions on
NRA and the HOLC. But even on
things lik e war profits and neutrality
hasty action is hardly wise. Indeed,
it is difficult to believe that the coun-
try would be worse off if congress left
most of the bills before it until pub-
lic opinion had been more clearly
chrystallied.
The president would do well to eu
down his program. The country has
been confused by a multiplicity of
New Deal projects. And the adminis-
tration should, by this time, recog-
nize that the partial failure of many
E its measures has been due to at-
pting too much in a hurry. Fun-
damen al purposes should be clearly
defined before any more contradic-
tions like NRA and AAA are pushed
th rough. There has been too much
we took from Mexico by force of
arms.
The dissatisfied nations, looking ov-
er their history books, see no reason
why they should not use the same an-
cient and honorable means to ex-
pand their territories and grab off
minerals and oil and other resources.
The only trouble is that about ev-
erything worth taking has been stak-
ed out and most of it is he d by the
strong nations. Japan is in the best
position, because no strong nation
cared much whether the Japanese
ook Manchuria or not. And it wasn’t
that Russia is partly in Europe, there
would be little objection to Japan
grabbing some of Siberia. But when
Italy goes after Absynnia and Ger-
many makes passes in the direction
of Austria and Poland they are en-
croaching on territory in which the
stronger powers have an interest.
Next thing anybody knew. Germany
might try to get back its African col-
onies that Britain grabbed off in the
World War, or Italy might try to
protect its new African territory by
to control both shores of the Medi-
terranean.
Nations, like persons, are prone to
MI
drinks and service are of the very
best. Curb service is featured and am-
ple parking space is always available.
Mr. Stayton is progressive and pub-
lic spirited and a loyal booster for
Bay City and vicinity. He extends a
cordial invitation to the people of
this community to drive out to this
service station for excellent food and
refreshments as well as prompt and
courteous service. Give them a trial.
