PALACIOS HI SEAWEED i
The football boys are all smiles
this week. Why shouldn’t they be?
We knew you could beat those
Cobras!
Speaking of the game Friday
night; all you have to do is ask
Clint W. who won and he’ll say,
“the Sharks—naturally.”
Due to the rain, Miss Sue Pen-
land was crowned Homecoming
Queen in the gym, following the
game. Miss Penland was crowned
by Miss Barbara Gayle, last year’s
queen. Miss Penland was escorted
by Tommy Reneau and Miss Gayle
by Boyd Foltyn. Attendants to the
queen were Miss Dana Kay Paris,
escorted by Don Marquess and Miss
Dixie Paulk, escorted by George
Lowry. The crown-carrier was
Ricky Manning and the train-bear-
ers were Sharon King and Guy
Smith.
Looks like Valerie W. was kept
busy over the week-end. You sure
like those “Aggies” don’t you Val-
erie?
Clyde W. what happened Satur-
day night, did your car break

Paul G. seems to be able to get
along with Anne H. pretty well!
How many weeks has it been Paul ?
Fannie Raye S. was sure lone-
some Friday and Saturday night,
while James A. played in the dance
band. Weren’t you Fannie Raye?
lost a ring. Darlene doesn’t seem
to be worried though. Maybe be-
cause she knows she can find the
ring around Bobby W.’s neck!
What new or rather old interest
does Constance L. have in Alvin?
Could his initials be A. P., Con-
stance?

COMMENTS FROM

CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
9th TEXAS DISTRICT
Galveston—Some weeks ago ir
this column I stated that the Post
Office Department had assured mi
they had no plans for discontinuing
Fourth Class Post Offices or cur-
tailing rural route services. Evi-
dently the Department has changed
its mind in some instances. I have
learned of inspectors being out in
the smaller area looking things
over with consolidations and such
as that in mind.
Sometimes smaller offices can be
discontinued without hurting tho
services. However, when the pa-
trons feel they will be incon-
venienced by such changes and the
government will not save any ma-
terial amount of money, I expect
to do everything to keep things an
they are. Let me know when thesi

happen in your neighborhood. The
time to do this is as early as pos-
sible after the inspectors come
around. Once the Department
makes up its mind it is very hard
to change it.
Some of my city folks have ask-
ed me why I have been so con-
cerned over agricultural problems
I have told them about the serious
effect on our national economy
when prices of farm commodities
fall far below industrial prices and
wages. If you consider the years
between World War II and the
Korean War as being average and
normal, you find that today agri-
cultural prices are around 83'/<
while industrial prices and wages
are around 120%. This wide spread
between prices the farmer pays,
and prices he receives when he
sells his products, is dangerous.
Last Friday came a news story out
of Washington telling of further
declines of farm prices this fall
The longer this diffe>vnce is al-
lowed to continue, the closer wc
come to a serious depression al!
over the country.
I am convinced that a depression
can be headed off, provided vigor-
ous steps are taken and taken soon.
A hesitant and timid approach to
this situation will not co the job
because it will not restore the con-
fidence of the people who are al-
ready feeling the pinch. A bold and
positive program should do the
job.
I saw a very promising event in
Sealy last week. I stopped by th<
cattle auction, and I saw more
activity than in many months.
The sale went on through the
night, and the next day report*
were most encouraging.
The last of the Farm Bureau
scheduled meetings was Tuesday ii.
Fort Bend County. I wish I could
make it to the State Convention at
Mineral Wells. However, you are
keeping me so busy here that I
don’t see how I can make it.
