ALBANY'S KKOZKN FOOD LOCKKR. owned
and operated by Arthur Adams hus received 10 ad-
ditional lockers this week, part of them having al-
ready been installed. The plant hi.v! "! "■ lo« kei -
installed when completed last fall. These have all
been rented and a demand for additional lockers
made It nccessary to order the extra boxes. The
plant is proving to be a great benefit to this com
munlty, and patrons are putting the lockers to more
Uses each week.
WITH THE EUROPEAN WAR over, the
government has relaxed the building restric-
tions. Announcement was made Monday that
$1,000 can be spent improving a home now,
or five times the amount allowed previously.
One hundred dollars a year has been all that
could be spent for materials and labor.
This relaxation means that thousands of fam-
ilies throughout the nation can now begin to
ingirove their homes, add to them and make ex-
tensive repairs. This type of work will give em-
ployment to tens of thousands of men, and will
help absorb some of the labor being laid off
by the closing of factories engaged in produc-
ing planes and other war material.
ALBANY MKN are coming home from Kuiope.
Last weok the News reported a couple had arrived,
Lt. Jack Behliiig and Sgt. W. S. Williams. These
reached home Monday of this week.
Lt. Mack Castleberry, wounded in Germany in
February, arrived in New York Monday and called
his parents. T.-Sgt. Doyle Brown, who flew his
jniissdons from Italy in a B-17, came in this week,
and Sgt. Robert Jackson also arrived from Italy.
' We can be expecting our men home from Europe
in larger numbers as weeks go by, and all of them
should get to come home to spend a furlough, even
if they have to go on to the Pacific.
It's great to have these men home, and it will be
really fine when they come home from the Pacific
to stay.
THE SEVENTH WAR LOAN drive in Shack-
•ford county is making good progress. Jao. F.
Sedwick hopes to sell the E quota of $148,000
by Saturday of this week—June 2. And it look*
like he and his committee are going to do it,
too.
The War Loan drive continues throughout
June, but the committee feels the job can be
finished a month before.

WKST TKXAN'S, headed hy the West Texas Cham-
ber of CommeVcc, were pleased with the ICC's rul-
ing last week on the freight rate equality program.
The Went Texas Chamber hud headed the fight for
some six years to bring equality in freight rates to
Texa and the Southwest, and particularly to West
Texas, where the higher freight rates made a great
discrimination against re-idents.
Leaders, of the WTiV are not satisfied with the
whole freight rate picture, however, and announce
this week it is launching a :i point program, which
follow ..
I. To help organize and actively participate in
hearings for working out the commission's order on
netting up a system of uniform da situations,
'J. To instigate furtlui proceedings "to once and
for all time give u.- complete parity in scales,"
To explore the entile Held of commodity rate-
in order to win equality with other -ections on like
coinmoditie- moving in volume.
West Texan- have never fully under, tood w hy
they should have to pay uch high freight rates and
compete with the indu-trial North and Kast. We
have had little chance to get factor in the South
i due to this discrimination. Power to the WTCC,
and the News congratulates them in their victory
| in this instance.

Texa.s needs leadership.
As these lines are written, the
legislature is dragging along in its
fifth month. It wasn't many years
ago that the lawmakers did their
work In >0 days and went home.
But the present session was 12
day old h< fore even the Hrst ma-
jor appropriation bill was passed.
Four different times, this legi
lature ha-, passed a bill raising the
alarie- of Tarrant County otTi
i al- and every time there wns
some "joker" and so now a fifth
attempt i being made. Memhei
admit they voted for the first and
-econd vet ions of the bill without
reading it; and apparently, even
after these blunders, they didn't
read the third or even the fourth
otic carefully enough.
Xnother bill, signed hy the Lieu
tenant Coventor and other offi
cial.-, reached the (iovcrnor's desk
and then it was discovered (ac-
cording to press dispatches) that
the bill lad not been passed, at
all!
High official - in \ustin are fond
of talking about the shortcomings
and inefficiency of Washington.
Well, if Washington had been a
incompetent as Austin has been,
there would not yet be a single '
American service man who had set
sail instead, million have been
transported over ea- anil Europe
has been invaded and iberated.
Texas needs leadership!

A Chip Off The Old Bloch
The old sayhig, "He's a chip off
the old block" carries a deep phi-
losophy of parental responsibility
and opportunity. "Like father,
like son" is also the assertion of a
responsibility that is both sobering
and heartening to serious minded
fathers. The age old question of
heredity and environment works
both ways in the home. One ex-
planation we heard once put it
thus: "Heredity is what a son
blames on his father and environ-
ment is what he blames on his
wife and children." Sons usually
ihow the characteristics of the
father, be they good or bad.
The son should, however, out-
strip the father. If his opportun-
ities are what they should be in an
advancing civilization the "chip
should outgrow the 'old block'."
There is a story from the life of
.lu tice Oliver Wendell Holmes of
the son of a Supreme Court Jus-
tice who wa practicing before his
father's high court. During the
-killful presentation of his case the
father beamed with justifiable
jpiide. Justice Holmes scribbled
the following note and passed to
his proud colleague: "He is a
block off the old chip."

bill will take its final form in the
conference committee, when mem-
bers of the Senate and House meet
to adjust differences.
The Senate this week passed a
measure appropriating $2.ri,H<57,-
515 for institutions of higher
learning for the next biennium.
The llou-e bill for the institutions
was $f>00,000 higher. Adjustment I
of teacher salaries accounted for]
some of the additional fund on
the House bill.
The Senate added an extra
.*2X,001) for the b ennium foi the
State Cotton Re-carch Committee,
and $170,000 for the biennium for
the acetylene division of the bu
n an of indu-trial chemistry at the

fund will be utilized by Dr. K. P.
