Several Stonewall County
Farm Bureau leaders will at-
tend a meeting, to be held in
Wichita Falls, Texas, on Mon-
day, August 19th. beginning at
10:00 a.m. The meeting is to
be held for the purpose of
planning for policy development
activity, which gets underway
soon, according to James D.
IMcGough, president of the coun-
jty farm group.
Those planning to attend from
I Stonewall Countv are Mr. and
I Mrs. Louis Spitzer, Mr. and
I Mrs. Carl Druesedow, Mr. and
\ Mrs. Frank Hoy, Mr. and Mrs.
Van Bullard, A. C. McNutt.
Tom Hart and Mr. McGough.
The purpose of the district-
wide meeting, one of 17 being
j conducted over the state, is to
lay plans for securing maximum
participation of the membership
in the Farm Bureau policy-
making process, which begins
with the annual county conven-
tion followed later in the year
by the state convention and
culminating with the national
Farm Bureau convention in De-
cember.
Among the issues which will
be discussed at the district
meeting are: The state rural
road-building program, livestock
disease control, increasing the
truck load limit law, the rural
electrification bill passed by the
recent 55th legislative session,
i agricultural research and edu-
j cation, and expansion of agri-
cultural markets. These and
j other local, state and national
1 issues will be discussed again in
meetings to be held over the
county during the few weeks
preceding the county conven-
tion.
At the convention, Farm Bu-
reau members will adopt county
policies, and make recommen-
dations to the Texas Farm Bu-
reau. Members strive to get
their policies enacted into law
during the "policy execution"
activity, which takes place in
the spring.
"It is" extremely important
for farmers to take advantage
of this opportunity to work to-
gether through democratic Dro-
cesses to try to solve their
problems," the Stonewall Farm
Bureau head stated. "If farm-
ers don't take the initiative in
solving their own problems,
someone else is goinp to try to
solve their problems for them—
and rot always to .their advan-
tage."
The Farm Bureau leader said
that discussion and exchange of
ideas is essential to proper func-
tioning of Farm Bureau's policy
making process. 'This involves
study and analysis of issues
currently affecting agriculture—
and those' that might come up
in the future," he said. "The
main puropse of this planning
meeting is to develop techniques
for encouraging farmers to do
the studying and analyzing ne-
cessary." It is well worth the
farmers' time to take off from
their crops "to protect their
interests on the other side of
the fence," he said.
Loys D. Barbour, District II?
Farm Bureau director, will be
in. charge of next Monday's
meeting. He is expected to re'-
port on the Texas Farm Bureau's
legislative activities during the
recent session, and explain pro-
posed constitutional amend-
ments, which will be voted on
in the next general election.
I Mr. McGough is urging any-
one that is interested in attend-
ing this meeting to meet him
t at Doug's Cafe on Monday morn-
' :ng, August 19th. at 7 o'clock.
SENATOR JOHNSON TALKS
ON CIVIL RIGHTS MATTER
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson told
his fellow Senators, in discuss-
; ing the civil rights bill, he
could not have voted for the
; bill that came to the Senate
, from the House of Representa-
! tives.
I "But the bill, as amended by
i the Senate, seeks to solve the
| problems of 1957—not to reopen
1 the wounds of 1865," he added.
Speaking to the Senate a few
| minutes before vote on final
oassage of the much-amended
bill. Senator Johnson announced
that he would vote for it be-
cause it was effective legisla-
• tion and protected the rights of
! the people.
"We do not have to dispense
j with basic rights—such as the
j.iurv trial—in order to have ef-
1 fective legislation." he declared.
' ' Never before has a bill been
j dpbated so thoroughly in this
I Senate" And out of that debate
; has come something even more
