HIGHLIGHTS—
(Continued From Page 1)
wars between elections.
A significant development is the
indication that the conservatives
now plan to alter their strategy
and try to insure another victory
next time by keeping right on the
job from now right through the
1956 primaries.
One national columnist, com-
menting on the Texas election, re-
marked that the conservatives of
this state have finally realized
“that a political party cannot be
captured by frontal assault. It
must be captured by patient, quiet
work at the precinct level.”
Expenses Reported
Finally reported by both candi-
dates were their expenses for the
campaign.
Governor Shivers revealed a
total cost of $285,121, with $242,087
in donations and no debts or loans
outstanding.
Judge Yarborough reported that
his campaign expenditures were
$279,722, with $245,394 in gifts
and $35,258 in debts outstanding.
Donors to Yarborough’s cam-
paign put in amounts ranging up
to $10,000, while no individual con-
tributor to Shivers' race gave more
than $500, according to the re-
ports.
Agency Reorganized
Re-organization in the Texas
Education Agency’s high official-
dom came about as the result of the
resignation of L. P. Sturgeon, as-
sociate commissioner of education,
who will become public relations
director for the Texas State Teach-
ers Association.
Moving up in the agency will
be Warren 'Hitt, who becomes
deputy commissioner of education;
Bascom Hayes, who will be as-
sistant commissioner for instruc-
tion; and M. A. Browning, who be-
comes assistant commissioner for
vocational education.
Dr. J. W. Edgar, commissioner
of education, recommended the
changes.
Also selected was a new super-
intendent for the Austin School for
the Deaf: John F. Grace, who had
been principal of Gallaudet School
for the Deaf in St. Louis.
Grace succeeds Roy M. Steele,
who moved to Colorado.
State Revenue Increased
In the fiscal year ended August
31, the State government took in
$790,556,058, or nearly $55 million
more than the total for the pre-
vious 12 months.
Biggest items in the state’s
budget are schools (about $255 mil-
lion, up $26 million); welfare
(about $158 million, up $20 mil-
lion); and highways (about $162
million, up $5 million).
Accounting for much of the boost
in revenue were increases in taxes
on oil, natural gas, motor fuel, and
franchises. There was an $18 mil-
lion increase in federal aid for pub-
lic welfare. Added to endowment
funds was $28 million from min-
eral bonuses and royalties.
Second Grade Students
Sponsor Barbecue For
Playground Equipment
The students of the second
grade are sponsoring a barbecue
supper Saturday, September 25.
Serving will begin at 5 p. m. in
the cafeteria of the Central Ele-
mentary School. A charge of $1.00
for adults and 50c for children will
be made for a plate of delicious
barbecue, potato salad, baked beans
and coffee. If you would like to
have a piece of pie or cake they
will be sold separately.
The proceeds from this supper
will be used to purchase play
ground equipment for the Central
Elementary School.

AUSTIN—W. C. Glazener, the
Director of Wildlife Restoration
for the Game and Fish Commission
said a proposed new method for
determining game harvest totals
will depend primarily on hunter
cooperation.
He said the survey will be based
on a mailed questionnaire to ascer-
tain what was shot, how much and
where.
The reward, he added, providing
maximum help is forthcoming from
the hunters, will be possible lib-
eralization of hunting seasons with
more leeway for harvesting several
species.
The Director said the survey is
desirable to obtain a clearer picture
of the annual combined hunters’
bag to pave the way for more
sound game management policies.
“There is no other way to obtain
this information,” said the Direc-
tor. “It involves data available only
from the hunters themselves. We
simply need a more accurate means
of learning facts to replace the
present custom which is based
heavily on estimates.”
The Director said such polls
have been conducted successfully
on a regional basis, including the
regulatory area West of the Pecos.
Names of the hunters for the
inventory will be taken from the
Commission’s headquarters files of
licenses sold. The survey approach,
probably on an ordinary postal
card, will explain the purpose and
include a stamped-self-addressed
card for the hunters’ individual re-
ports.
To begin with, according to the
Director, the study will involve wa-
terfowl alone and the hunters will
be asked to report how many ducks
and geese were bagged, to list
the species and to state the hunting
location.
The Director said the data ac-
quired will be used in trying to
better manage waterfowl resources.
He said, for example, there was
a 2,000,000 bird discrepancy last
year in the Central flyway winter
census taken in Texas and the fly-
way spring nesting census taken
in the north.
“If that means 2,000,000 ducks
and geese just disappeared then
we could liberalize our harvest
regulations so that the hunters
could harvest them rather than
have them die-off.” said the Di-
rector.
Likewise, if the waterfowl sur-
vey is successful, a similar poll of
big game hunters is planned since
it has been theorized that the deer
harvest possibily could be greater
to avoid overpopulation and other
extremes that are known to have
caused heavy die-offs.
Diplomat: A man who thinks
twice before saying nothing.
In the average American home
today, electricity does the work
which would require the labor of
35 servants, each working a 40-
hour week.

They Did If!
Who says you can’t make a silk
purse out of a sow’s ear? Many
have been true back in the early
days of the old adage, but it’s not
today. Scientists of a manufactur-
ing firm converted the gristle and
skin of 100 pounds of sow’s ears
into glue, converted the glue into
a filament, hardened and lubricated
it, then dyed it to make a soft,
lustrous thread. Using a small hand
loom they wove the yarn into
cloth, from which they fashioned
a lady’s purse.
Quote:
“We must care more for truth
than for success. We must care
more for the hopes of the people
than the votes of the people. We
must always worry more about our
problems than the headlines. We
must scorn the glib piomise, the
false phrase, the shallow excuse
and the clever evasion.”— Secretary
of the Treasury George H. Hum-
phrey.
When Warren Spahn of the
Braves beat Pittsburgh, Septem-
ber 8, he ran his winning streak
to 11 in a row, and brought his
season total to 19. He’s trying to
put into the records another 20-
win year. In beating Pittsburgh,
says The Sporting News, he was
working out of turn, at his own
request.
Mickey Vernon of the Senators,
who recently got special mention
when he made his 2,000th major
league hit, isn’t a very talkative
person. Reporters find him one of
the toughest players to interview.
But one time, says The Sporting
News, a writer quoted Vernon for
almost two columns in The Sport-
ing News. When a Washington
writer teased him about being so
garrulous, Mickey replied: “All I
said to the fellow was hello.”
ARTHRITIS?
I have been wonderfully blessed In being
restored to active life after being crippled
in nearly every joint in my body and with
muscular soreness from head to foot. I
had Rheumatoid Arthritis and other forms
of Rheumatism, hands deformed and my
ankles were set.
Limited space prohibits telling you more
here but if you will write me, I will reply
at once and tell you how I received this
wonderful relief.
