Small against
ANY DIVISION OF
PANHANDLE DIST.
^ILL INTRODUCE BILL
NEW DISTRICT ON
SOU*TH PLAINS
FOR
j-Any proposal to divide the “Pan-
ndle proper" in outlining new
Rngressional districts for Texas
1111 be opposed by State Senator
Pint Small, he told The Amarillo
ally News Thursday,
tThree new congressional seats
lave been apportioned Texas since
$e 1930 census figures were releas-
and the legislature must out-
he the new districts.
^Senator Small said he would in
| oduce a bill when the legislature
[mvenes in January proposing to
eate a new congressional district
l the Soutli Plains and in Cen-
tal West Texas, but that he would
ppose any move to split the upper
andle territory.
BThe present eighteenth district,
Fpresented by Congressman Marvin
Snes is made up of 53 Panhandle
fid South Plains counties, the dls-
[lct running south almost to Abi-
ne. The district has doubled in
pulation in the past ten years,
1 two new districts will be created
Df virtually the same area now
sented by Mr. Jones,
has been suggested in some
that a line might be run
find south through the Pan-
This suggestion Is not ap-
r by Senator Small, who told
tews, in a telephone conversa-
om Dalhart, that the Pan-
proper should remain ta-
ke 26 counties which make up
tetor Small's district in the state
kite have a population of 243,000,
ctically enough for a congres-
|nal seat. It probably would be
essary to add six counties to give
■ sufficient population, Senator
said. This would carry the
rlct south far enough to Include
nview, Floydada and Paducah,
vlng the lower end of the pres-
, district to be attached to a new
riot in the South Plains and
ntral West Texas section.
|"Interests of all the people,” said
fnator Small, "in the Panhandle,
"Identical, and the Panhandle
uld not be divided. Let's keep
ItfcPanhandle in a solid unit.”

First T. C. U. Girl Graduate
Describes School of Past
Mrs. J. D. Bass of McKinney,
first girl graduate of Texas Chris-
tian University (then Add-Ran Col-
lege of Thorp Springs), in the class
of 1879, rode two days in a cover-
ed wagon to enter coUege.
“I lived only 100 mUes from the
school, but that was distance .then,"
Mrs. Bass recalls. "The mail came
but three times a week. Sometimes
there was sighing and crying for
the mad. Girls were not supposed
to receive letters from any one ex-
cept the family. However, some
did.'
Those graduates of 50 years ago
would make estrange sight to the
present-day lad and lassie," Mrs.
Bass observes. "There were girls
with little tight waists, starched
petticoats, pantalettes and sunbon-
neta; gawky boys with tight trous-
er legs and high heeled boots.
The faculty consisted of about
eight members Nevertheless the
boys and girls learned the great
principles of life, and went out with
strength to meet life’s battles. The
courses that were offered Included

MEAT CANNING BY
FARM FAMILIES ON
INCREASE IN TEXAS
BEEF AND VEAL TO VALUE OF
$3492.30 PUT UP
IN OCTOBER
Partial reports from home de-
monstration agents in 17 scattered
Texas counties Indicate that canned
beef and veal to the value of
$3492.30 had already bee> put up
by farm famUles by the end of
October, with the prospect of about
ten times that much to be taken
care of as the cooler weather of
November comes on. according to
reports frdto Extension Department
of A. Ac M. College.
Prices offered for the meat ani-
mals used in these demonstrations
ranged from $A to $16 according to
weight and the local market needs.
The profits realised by canning
varied from $13 50 to $30 and the
cost of canning. Including contain-
Maps of the Texas congressional
districts, as shown In the Congres-
sional Directors of 1910 and 1930
graphically depict the task that will
confront the Texas legislature next
January when It takes up redlstrict-
lng to fit In the three new Texas
Congressmen allowed by the new
census.
Jig-saw puzzles must have origi-
nated from congressional district
maps.
In 1911 an unsuccessful attempt
was made to redistrict Texas. Later
this was done to make places for
two additional Congressmen allow
ed. This year’s task will be more
difficult. Three must be accom
modated.
On the theory that a division
population entitles each section
280,000 population to a Congress'
man, Dallas, B^xar and Harris
counties each might claim a Con
gressman with a one-county dis-
trict. Representative Ray Holder
of Lancaster Insists that Dallas
county Is really entitled to a Con-
gressman for Itself alone.
The First, Second, Third, and
Fourth Texas Districts have es-
caped any change In redistrlctlng
since 1910.
Big ohanges of former redistrict
ing began with the Thirteenth Dis-
trict. This area, which now em-
braces only Archer, Baylor, Clay,
Cooke, Denton, Jack, Montague,
Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger,
Wise and Young Counties, prior
redistrlctlng took In those same
counties and had besides all of the
Texas Panhandle.
The old Fourteenth, which the
last redistrlctlng Inadvertently
changed Into a Republican district,
consisted of Bexar, Blanco, Comal
and Kendall of the present Four
teenth, but the strong Republican
Guadalupe county vote was then
polled In the fifteenth district, and
the Republican strength of Bexar,
Kendall, Blanco and Comal smoth-
ered by Inclusion with Brown, Bur-
net, Coleman, Lampasas, Llano, Mc-
Culloch, Mason. Mills and San Saba
counties. These were enough
keep it nominally Democratic, even
tho the comparatively strong Re-
publican vote of Gillespie and Kerr
counties was also in the district
The Fifteenth district, ballwlck
and stronghold of Congressman
John Oarner, Democratic house
leader, has remained practically un
disturbed. The old district had 25
counties. The new one has 23. In
the last redistrlctlng It lost Ban
dera, Terrell and Val Verde to the
Seventeenth, and Bee, Ouadalupe,
Nueies, San Patricio and Wilson to
the Fourteenth. At the same time
it received Brooks. Jim Hogg, Jim
Wells. Kenedy. Kleberg and Willacy
counties. The Sixteenth In extreme
West Texas had little change.
If redistrlctlng Is not accom-
plished by the legislature, the state
will have three Congreasmen-at-
Large until it is redistricted. The
governor's election proclamation will
merely call for^electlon of the Con
gressmen In present districts and in
addition three to be voted for by
all parts of the state. Congress-
man Dan Garrett and the late Jeff
McLemore were Congressmen-at

Three causes for this greatly In-
creased interest in the preservation
of meat at home are given by the
agents. First, the shortage of feed
stuffs in the drouth stricken coun-
ties promises to make the wintering
of cattle an expensive matter in
that area, while the low price be-1
