Sunday Morning Bouquets
There were tirites during the past week when many of
u» w ere tempted to itart singing “Rain, Rain Go Away,”
but despite the disa^eable weather things were look-
ing up all over the pl&e.
The United Furd waXoff to a good start with the
largest group of volunteer workers ever soliciting funds
to support next year's activities of the 11 charitable
and character-building agencib* dependent upon it.
And if you have not yet made your contribution,
please bear these two things in iriipd: (1) the need this
year is greater than ever end all of us who can afford
it should give more, and (2) the sooner a’l of the con-
tributions and pledges are in, the less the time that will
have to be spent by the scores of unpaid workers par-
ticipating in the campaign, \
Several items of interest in connection with the Coun-
ty’s commercial development program appeared during
last week. /X _ \ \
Principal of these was the announcement bv the
Navigation and Port District 6f the sale of $1 °5n.000 in
revenue bonds. About half of this amount will be usbd
in constructing a new building for the Sabine Sunply Co.
on port district property- in Orange, the rest will gp for
other improvements.
In downtown Orange the city’s newest retail store,
Goodrich, opened in a new building constructed for The
firm by the Odom Interests.
And at Bridge City,’ the Keown Interests, longtime
county concern, occupied a new headquarters' building.
Bad weather during the week produced fears of an
epidemic of flu in the county but by week’s e*.d the in-
cidence of this disease, although somewhat high, was
still well below alarming proportions.
Two tax rolls were completed during the week and
both reflected the county's rapid economic development.
The Orange Independent School District roll added
up to a total of $87,345,870, an increase of $4,339,030. The
school district assesses on a 100 per cent basis, so its fig-
ure represents a fairly close estimate of the true worth
of property on its tax rolls. But, of course, this does not
include most automobiles, household furniture, money in
the bank, and other assets so the actual total value of
all property in the city is somewhat above the tax valu-
ations figure.
The tex roll of the county government came out to
I $52,313,755, an increase of $1,798,717 from 1956. On the
; county’s basis for valuation, the actual worth of all prop-
j erty on its tax roll is $348,408,500, which comes out to
about $5,807 for each man, woman and child in the
* county. And again- that doesn’t include automobiles,
household goods, money, etc.
Another very important development in connection
1 with taxation in the county was a move to provide aerial
property maps. These will insure that all taxable prop-
erty is on the rolls and help to guarantee equitable dis-
tribution of the tax load.
The county government took another,vital steo dur-
ing the week by calling a hearing on a proposed new
t subdivision code for Oct. 14. Adoption of this code will
help to insure the orderly growth of future housing areas
• with adequate provisions for roads and street? that will
result from these subdivisions. * 1
On the industr al scene, the big story was the an-
nouncement that Firestone will increase the size of its
brand new Chemical Row butrdWne plant by 50 per
^,eent. This will be the f’rst orogrrm of expansion on the
t 1.000-acre petrochemical center of the county’s newest
big name in industry.
Soil conserveticn activities in the countv got a boost
during the week with the ree-iot of tVfhst state aid
check by the Lower Sabine-Nec^es Soil Con-rvati"n
District. The $,5,233 «ra"t is not big but will be a big
help in carrying on/the dictrlct’s program.
i Th« Orrnqe School District took one of the final stens
toward calhng for bids on its r?w administration build-
in". This structure, which will give the school district
a home office built for the tv-rpr-. for th- fin*t time,
will oo UD rext to the present building on 15th St. oppo-
site Ti«er Stadium. ‘
And the countv’s kids had their day vesterdav as the
Orange Ki<v„nis Club staged its annual celebration for
the small fry.
At 3 p.m. sharp a deputy sher-
iff called on Mrs.
Block with, the
message,
/“Francis wants
to see you."
Out to tht re-
freshment count-
er in the lobby
went the unsus-j
pectin? hodsr
of the money
b®$».
ie only thin?
different wss-1
there were a few Lilly
more than the usual nu ■jtr .of
people in the lobby and they were
ringed up.
Then the surprise came. Front
Diet Judge Famer F, Stephen-
son to the weest clerk with the
lesst seniority, rang out, “Happy
Birthday.”
The “victim” was so stunned til
she could ssy was “Oh. oil!”
There vn the aporopr'Sts store
baked bir.hday cake that sa d,
“Happy Blrthdey Berta.” It was
edma Jn dollar signs.
HU TOT TOO—Al a thiy laugh
occasionally t~ well as work. A

f am the clerk thtt it h-d to be

back to the clerk’s office. Off went
ths Indy fo’ a r-el!. Upon r-
turning she h-d “decided to wait
un it tomornr./ ta file fits will . . .
and do you suppose Mrs. Scdie
would mied.”
TAX STATEMUPJTS—Always did

• It’s Asian, not Asiatic flu, the
powers who pick such names for
raw diseases have decided, but I
don’t agree *ith them.
They neve robbed this mysteri-
ous malady of its intrigue, its
color, its romance. Asiatic sounds
a lot more dramatic than Asian.
I support I feel this way because
as an ex-Navy nan the word
"Asiatic” has a special i
and I think it ought to be
to this new type of flu.
“Aeiatic" to a sailor, means
someone who has served Overse*s
too long. I’ve seen a lot of Asiatic
sailors, in fact I pro jab y was one
at ona time but didn't recognize
it . . . none of them do.
"Asiatic" occidentals (that's a
good word, look it up in tha dic-
tionary) sre different. The impres-
sion thsy give a non-Asiatic person
is "LnM, t hope I neve- get like
that!" They have that hollow stare,
t'lr.t sudden burst of hysterical
laughter at something they thought
about but won't share with you.
They like for poker games to go on
for weeks at a time wltho w In-
terruption, and they acquire a
tas.e for hot (or unr.efrigerated)
boor. . -
Now, isn’t that colorful?
Frida/ I reminded Phfl Lilly
that the co*rect us-gj was Asian
instead of Asiatic, though I d'dn't
. like It. He joined me m m;’ In-
clination. ar.d so did Mery Alice
Lakey. She qivpped: "Sounds like

Newspapers cctually adopted use
of Asicn over Asiatic because the

Apoarcnily I hive aot been ex
poo-id to As’an flu, but according
to the experts I can look forward
to it, and I d oliko the thought of
it . . . not that it will bother me
much, but Boh McHugh is a sucker
for flu — it floors him every time
—end v/hon he's at home enjoying
h’s misery it means more work on
ne. Sometimes 1 gat tired of being
so disw/stinjiy resistant to ail-
men s (l -rrng boils). It means I
work while they have to stay home
and be ormperod. I envy them,
but I sxppooe I would change my
mind if I v ere more inclined to
catch such illnesses.
1 have treated lightly e matter
which i* much more serious. Asian
flu isn't t joking matter in the
arsis where it has attack*! in full
wrath. Doctors advise that per-
sons era expect reictions from
inoculations In some Hutances. but
thay also rdvica that those re re
