(ieorgc (. Chance, chairman of the
Council's Texas Cnit and promin-
ent cotl-a producer and ginner.
Suppoil of the cotton industry
program conducted by the Council
is of vital importance during tie
period immediately ahead, Mr.
Chance declared.
He described the fight for lb*
mestn fiber market - as "reaching

"Never before bin- tlire been such
unity of purpose and action among
cotton farmers, ginners, warehou--
men, merchants 'pianers, and cot-
tonseed crushers Hut we can win
cotton's fighi only when eveiy
member of the industry contributes
his proportionate share to the Cot-
ton Council's mipport."
The cotton man said that Texas
ha- a particularly great stake in
the program to i aerease cotton
consumption. Last year, he said,
the farm value of cotton and cot
ton seed in Texas reached the all
time peak of ftift.'t.fi 15,000. This
was more than twice the value of
the l'.i-ltí crop.
Cotton farmers an asked to con-
tribute ten cents on each bale to
the Cotton Council it the time cot-
ton is ginned. Other interests arc
asked to pay proportionate amounts
as then share in the cotton pro-
gram.

Frank Dusek
Passes Away
At New Tabor
Dies Suddenly at Bree1'.fast
Table After Completing
Morning Chores
Frank Ousek, Sr., N2, die i his
family home in the New Tabor
community Sunday morning about
7:.'i0 while eating his breakfast.
He did his customary morning
chores around the family farm
and as he sat down to eat his
breakfast, complained of feeling
ill. His wife went to his side to
assist him but he died suddenly
before she could summon medical
aid. Although Mr. Dusek had en-
joyed the best of health for 80
years, he had been in declining
health for the past two years.
Born in Czechoslovakia March
4, I860, he came to this country
with his parents, JoBeph and Kate-
rina Dusek, ut the age of eight
years. The family first settled at
Wesley in Washington County,
where he was reared. After several
years, the family moved to Bur-
leson County, settling in the New-
Tabor community where he has
since lived. In October, 1890, he
was married to Miss Marie Mrnus-
tik and soon after their marriage
they bought the farm home, where
they spent their entire married
life. To this union three children
were born, one of whom, the eldest
son, died when he was 8 days old.

Construction 0(
County Roads
Gets Started
Grading and Laying of M
For Cedar Hill Market
Highway la Underway
Construction of roads under the
recently successful County Roed
Bond issue, in which people of Bur-
leson County voted favorably by a
margin of approximately II to 1 to
build a network of half u million
dollars worth of lateral hard-aar-
faced farm-to-market highways,
got underway this week, according
to information received through
County Engineer Kenneth A. Eth-
eridge Thursday.
Ethcridge stated that grading
and preparing the road bed on the
Cedar Hill farm highway already
had started. He pointed out that
after the roads were prepared to
receive the hard surface it would
lie necessary for them to remain
unfinished for some time in order
to settle before getting the top-
ping.
• Etheridge expects to completo
approximately 125 miles of hard
surface roads in the county under
the bond issue, as outlined to the
voters several months ago. Cost
of the construction likely will run
about $4000 per mile, he said.

AUSTIN (Special) — Homer

two months' campaign with a dis-

Texans Twice
As Good As
Ten Years Ago
Compilation of Figures By
Judge Harry Graves Shows
418 Appeals Received
AUSTIN, July 23 — Texans are
twice as good now as they were
ten years ago, Judge Harry N.
Graves of the Court of Criminal
Appeals believes.
Not wishful thinking but the of-
ficial records of the court, which
hears all appeals of Texas crimin-
al cases, bear out the claim. A
compilation just made for Judge
Graves, who is seeking re-election
for his second regulur term, shows
the court received 418 appeals in
1947-48, or about two-fifths as
many us the 1,018 of 1937-38.
Making allowances for district
judges paroling first offenders,
Judge Graves estimates at least
a 50 per cent drop in law-breaking.
"One reason is the general pros-
perity," he explained. "With most
people having enough to live on
now, few commit crimes out of
desperation. Another reason—and
I'm certainly no militarist - is
that some of our young men
learned one of the fundamentals
