capped youngsters in Texas, is receiving assistance made possible

Johnnie Morgan to Peru
Miss Johnnie Morgan of Dallas
spent the week-end with home-
folk, the C. E. Morgans, in this
city. Miss Morgan, a Braniff Air-
lines employee, had returned the
previous Saturday from a week’s
sight-seeing trip to Lima, Peru.
South America, via Braniff. In
describing her trip, Johnnie stated
that the beauty of the city of a
million people defied verbal des-

Leaving Dallas at 10 a. m. Sun-
day, the party flew to Cuba for
a 45-minute layover in navanna,
thence to South America and land-
ed at Lima at 5 a. m. Monday.
After spending an hour in cus-
toms, they ate. slept a while and
then embaiked on tours of the
city and surrounding country. They
left on their return flight the fol-
lowing Friday.—The Archer Coun-
ty News.
Miss Morgan lived in Seymour
until the family moved to Archer
City not long ago. Mrs. Morgan,
in a letter to The Banner, says
they still consider Seymour their
home, and are very much intereted
in reading the home paper. Mrs.
Morgan mentioned some of the
other points in this country which
Miss Johnnie has been to since
beginning her work with Braniff
in May of 1948.
Miss Daisy Baskin has received
a copy of the Denver Post, which
carries an article about a man who
is known here by the old timers
and who has made good in Colo-
rado. This man, Russell Hum-
phries, is genial traveling repre-
sentetive for the Denver Union
Stockyards Co. What’s more. Mr.
Hardy was born in Seymour, on
Oct. 6, 1893. He is the son of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Ward Hum-
phries. and the grandson of "Uncle
Charlie” Humphries, who lived at
this place for many years. The
Post said, "Russ has more friends
in the cattle business throughout
this region than a cactus has
spines." Mr. Hardy is married and
he and wife have two children.
Their daughter is a senior at the
University of Colorado, and their
son is a senior in high school at
Denver.
WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
Congressman Ed Gossett, in his
weekly letters to newspapers of his
district, this week has something
to say about the proposed rent
control * legislation. The lower
house of Congress passed a bill
carrying an amendment which
would give control of rents over
to the states, counties or cities.
This amendment is looked upon
with favor by Southern lawmak-
ers, but the Senate is likely to
knock out the amendment.
Congressman Gossett has been
in favor of doing away with the
controls. He thinks they are just
a hangover of the old OPA. and
beiieves the government has no
more right to fix prices in that
line than in anything else.
Not only that, nut m a large
measure the controls defeat their
own purpose, which is to provide
more housing. The business of
being a landlord certainly has not
been encouraged. Mr. Gossett has
received letters from many who
have been hard hit by the law,
and in some instances the injustice
done has been tragical. In many
cases the owners of property are
elderly people, and perhaps with
this as their only means of support.
When rents were fair the reven-
ues would keep these people up,
but not so when everything went
up and rents were the same price.
The Congressman nuotes some of
these letters in his articles.
1 Mr. Gossett is in favor of some
increase of the minimum wage,
but not all the administration asks
for. Our congressmen expects to
support the rural telephone bill,
but with an amendment that would
provide against duplications.
The Banner thought long ago
it might lose Mr. and Mrs. R C.
Hyde as readers. They lived in
Baylor County only a few years
and then moved to Earth, on tin-
plains. But they say they still
see many familiar names in the
paper, and here comes another re-
newal check. They reported a
long, hard winter, but hoping for
spring now. Dry land crops were
a failure there last year, but the
i situation looks better this time,
and if hails do not come a good
general crop should be made. The
Banner would like to extend a
general invitation to Mr. and Mrs.
Hyde to make Baylor County a
visit some of these days.

"An oleomargarine bill should
be passed; the tax on oleomargar-
ine is discriminatory and unreas-
onable. It is wrong to tax any
food simply because it competes
with some other food.”
Mr. Gossett winds up his letter
by quoting from a gentleman who
wrote and suggested that our con-
gressman should support all ad-
ministrative measures. Congress-
man Gossett thinks his first duty
is to support such measures as
will be for the good of the coun-
try, and that is what he is trying
to do. As for the Democratic
platform, it was made in Phila-
delphia, and our congressmen be-
lieves there are a great many peo-
ple in his district who would not
be willing to swallow this plat-
form just as it was adopted by
the national convention.
