the only thing that can prevent black market
destruction of OPA is the legitimate mer-
chant. Tens of thousands of retailers the
country over want to keep prices down. To
do so they must maintain high volume sales.
As long as OPA is the official arbiter of
price, it is also the regulator of volume. If
prices are too high or too low, volume falls
off. Normally, free markets coupled with ef-
ficient mass distribution strike a fair balance
between extremes. The needs of manufac-
turers, producers, distributors, and consum-
ers are satisfied.
The OPA as a regulator and stabilizer
can never match the efficiency of the free
market. It would not have done as well as it
has if the retail distribution industry, ,and
more specifically, the organized units of the
industry such as chain stores, had not cooj~
erated wholeheartedly to make control wor
The chains brought all of their knowledge
of mass buying and selling into the battle
against inflation. They were experts as oper-
ators on narrow margins.
In Hation is anathema to the modern dis-
tribution industry. And if the OPA is wise
it will steer clear of letting "hold the line
theories and "cost absorption" strike at the
vitals of legitimate retailing. The rising sha-
dow of the black market is a reality that
wastes no time on theories.

REALITY AROUND THE CORNER
The United States News reports, "Black-
market operations are more widespread now
in peace than they were at any time during
the war. And they are growing." Wherever
the black market becomes a major factor in
distribution, the OPA might as well fold up
its charts and go home. Price control be-
comes an empty gesture.
It cannot be pointed out too often that
The manner in which the two cities Den-
ison and Sherman are growing toward each
other is something to indicate that before
five years have passed we will have a contin-
uous town. It matters not which of the two
towns is doing the most expansion. The re-
sult will be the same—the two will be one
soon. It is the wise thing to do for the state
highway department to get busy about a
double drive lane between the two cities.
There is now more traffic between the two
towns than can be found on any other stretch
of this important highway from the border to
the gulf.
-oo-
The miracle of expansion as exemplified
by the Jaques Power Saw company since
they opened here in a small building 30x4C
is enough to challenge the attention of fea-
ture writers who wish to tell the world in
magazine stories about the glories of Texas
and the South. It shows what vision can
do and the value of an indomitable will
which will not let go. That small start nere
has grown to where the product demands
more than 200 men on the force and with
sales now reaching foreign lands. The port-
able saw is being turned out in various
types and in constantly growing quantities
while the company is discovering new kinds
of merchandise for which there is a field
and which they can turn out at their large
plant covering several acres.

Springtime is kite flying time ... and
kite flying is lots of fun, especially
for those who know and observe the
rules of safety, because their kite fly-
ing is not likely to result in a mishap.
That's why the smart kite flyer ob-
serves these rules:
(1) Fly your kite in open places
,.. where there are no electric serv-
ice wires.
(2) Never use metal or wire in
your kite or in your kite string.
(3) If your kite should become
lodged in electric wires, do not climb
the pole or an adjacent tree nor try
to get the kite loose with a pole or
stick. Call your Electric Service
Company, and they will gladly send
someone to remove the kite for you.

imp*1*—
Representative government
should be restored in Texas.
In my judgment, we do not
have representative government
when our laws are made by
men who come from districts
that are not based on the latest
federal census—as our State
Constitution \lirects—but thaft
are based on what the popula-
tion was 2G long years ago. ,
We do not have representa-
tive government when State
boards and bureaus are not
truly representative in their
membership. For example,
there-Ts no member of the State
Game, Fish and Oyster Commis-
sion from th„ Gulf Coast area,
though that is where most of
the fish and all the oysters are.
Also, there is not one educator
on the State Board of Educa-
tion. And still another exam-
ple, although half the student
body of the University of Tex-
as consists of young women
and there ar„ nine places on
the board of regents of the
State University, not one of
those nine places is occupied by
a woman.
We do not have reprasemtive
government and it is almost
impossible that it will be truly
and fully so until we have a
really secret ballot in Texas t
that every man can feel (free
to vote his own convictions,
without fear that someone can
examine his ballot and see how
lie voted.
We do not have representa-
tive government in Texas when
hundreds of thousands of Tex-
ans who served their country
are unarble to buy clothes or
a home and the government of
their State is so little interest-
ed in their welfare that about
all it has done is to give them a
ifree vote after having, in ef-
fect, disfranchised them all dur-
ing the war. The men in the
service who are still overseas
are, in effect, still disfranchis-
ed. In fact, the whole situation
is so clouded with doubt that
many of the veterans who have
returned paid their poll tax so
that they could be sure oif a
vote.
We do not have representa-
tive government in Texas when
a trickily-worked amendment is
submitted which holds out the
promise and shatters that hope
by refusing to provide the nec-
essary money.
We do not have representa-
tive government when Texas
newspapermen are rushedl to
jail for something they wrote
while men who committed mur-
ders and robberies ar0 bein£
turned out of the penitentiary
by the hundreds, on pardon# and
paroles, to resume their crimi-
nal activities against the prop-
erty and lives of law-abiding
citizens.
Let's restore representative
government in Texas.

Rural Women
Do Job Making
Over Furniture
Rural women in Texaa refin-
is'ned about 3Sy00i0 pieces of
furniture last year, according
to Mrs. Bernica Claytor, home
improvement specialist for the
A. and M. College Extension
Service.
After fire had destroyed the
homo of Mrs. Bill Rice three
years ago, Mr. and Mrs Rice
bought a new place and had to
"start from scratch." In her
home demonstration work, Mrs.
Rice had learned to refinish
furniturB exipertly and always
had regarded it as a pleasant
hobby. Now, however, with a
new home to pay for and equip,
refinishing furniture became a
business with her. The quality
of her work has been so out-
standing that she received more
ordel's than she can handle,
even though she has hired an-
other woman to assist her.
Despite the rapid growth of
her business. Mrs. Rice contin-
ues to keep up a full schedule
of home tasks in caring for
her two young sons. She also
raise,, chickens on a full scale
nnd does her full quota of gar-
dening and canning.
Since ishe began work on a
commercial scale about two
years ago, Mrs. Rice has com-
pleted more than 30 jobd for
nbout 50 different customers.
