tut year, during the prepara-
tion of a series of articles on the
history of Orange, oldtimers were
found who could describe the
original Old Snimish Trail,
This early day path over which
.travelers in and oat of Texas
moved their vehicles and livestock
ran about four .miles north of Or-
ange, and crossed the Sabine River
at a point between Echo and West'
Bluff. '
In the latter yeass of its use, thp
trail, .Recording to the oldtimer?,
was used for the movement of
many herds of cattle being driven
to markets , to the east.
The i*bvementi of these cattle
beetle bailey
was said to have caused the track
' * to assume aft unusual physical! ap*
pearance In the center was a
hrbgd path, beaten ,,out for some
distance
terrain by the f
-rti.

■ Most'Significant P&D News Story
From tht , -■ « » ,r« ««re to.oWm-
cant story appearing in yesterday s annual Progress and m say th 0ST ran and the phvsi-
Development Edition of The Leader was the account of cal appearance suggests that by
the activities of Commissioners Court in preparation for-
„ submission to the voters of,the new rofd bond program.
As a frequent and severe critic of the Cdtitt Itt^the
past. The Leader feels that it owes the members of the
county governing body published recognition for the
approach being taken to this all*impoxjlant undertaking.
There seeihs to be no question on the part of anyone
familiar with the situation gus to the heed for the pro-
posed new road, program. and the economic and Copiah
benefits to^e^piqcteti frrtfn. it. , -i ‘ - - ■ .
]But thfc*'are t^x considerations involved which
might tfgusq the defeat of the road bond proposition in
' an election unless, the, tax‘structure'a.s .it'would/be if
the proposal. is approved is fully justified to at least
‘66 2/3 pft cent of the taxpaying voters.
essity for providing this justification in advance of an
election on the proposition and have dedicated them-
selves to a program with that objective in mind.
One of the more important phases of this program
will be to set up a committee for re-evaluating the Or-
ange County Conservation and Reclamation District.
This political subdivision was created 26 years ago and
most of the county’s present-day taxpayers are not
familiar ^ith either the agency’s activities or the need
and economic value of its services, j.....
This and other factors has caused questions to be
raised by taxpayers concerning the conservation and
reclamation district. The study committee, composed o'
members of Commissioners Court and representatives of
the Orange and Vidor chambers of commerce and of the
district itself, ivill find the answers to the ouestions that
already have brten raised and others that might come up
and vyill report its findings to the public through the
Court.
Close attention also is going to be given by the county #
judge and the commissioners to ways and means of
ti ’htening up ooeratiora so that every county tax dollar
sp» nt will buy the maximum in services.
. And there also will be attention to the matter of set-
ting up the proposed debt service schedule for the new
.road bonds in a wav that will provide for minimum ef-
(in thn lax structure at The'beginning and"spread
•s. out the cost of paving off the bonds over as broad a tax
. base as possible
If these and the other portions of the Court’s program
can 1>« suicctsfu’lv executed and the necessary majority
«of the tbxpaying voters of the county sold on the new 4
road bond program, we will get not only the $4,750,000
worth of roads it will provide but also some $13,741,000
in highway expenditures by the state and federal gov-
ernments." ,y-V, " '
N That’s a ratio of almost three dollars in outside money
frtT every dollar of local money which, in our opinion,
-is a bargain.
some freak rtf nature a portion of
jhis historic pathway has been pre-

its form as of the time’it was aban-

route we now call the Old Spanish

begins at, the new road to the
Texas ^kPortla'nd Cement Plant,
about 100 yards horth of the South-
ern Pacific Railroad croasing, and
extends eastward into* the woods
fo- several hundred yards.

it actually is a part of the original

. NEW YORJC (/P)—The teen-ager’s
high school newspaper came into
the house the other day, like a
bulletin from outer space. 1-
Foreign news rtn page one. They
have “adopted” a town in Greece
and a Greek student had written
back. A competent report described
developments in a constitutional
question. Other items reflecting a
world* incredibly different from
your own high, school world, more
complicated, showing stresses and
anxieties unimaginable to the teen-
ager of a generation ago. ,
Lacked Away
Think back E moment.
No s h a d o w of war darkened
S America ih the 1920s. War had been
locked away securely, people said,
hy the Kellogg - Briand Pact; na-
tions bound themselves never
again to use force. Armies were
small. Conferences in Washington
and London had drawn the fangs
of the big navies, limiting them,
in theory, to purely defensive/ ca-
pabilities.
A “dictator” was a dusty word
in the pages of ancient history.
Few people had even, heard of
“genocide-" •
The atom? Intercontinental rnis-
siles? Buck Rogers stuff. Oh, sure,
there were bombs, but not very
big ones. Besides, how could any-
one bomb America? The oceans
were much too wide.
Another Front
On another front .the future
stretched ahead into reaches of
dazzling promise. Business was
booming. The stock market, run-
ning wild, was going through the
roof Not unreasonably one way or
another, a young man might hope
to make—and keep—a million dol-:
lars before he was 40, which, of
course, was getting pretty well ETTA Ktl I
along in years.
It was a serene, uncomplicated
world, with cerulean skies and fa-
vorable winds.
And in a wink, it blew to bits.
First the depression, then the dic-
tators, then war in several forms.

tory’s most important trails, we
may soon see it disappear beneath
the bulldozers of construction
crews unless quick steps are taken
to ©reserve it.
The area immediately surround-
ing the track is beautifully wood-
ed and perfect for park purposes.
With a little clearing, a bh of
drainage to*minimize the effects
of erosion on the terrain, fencing,
and the planting of some flowering
shrubs, it could be- made into
something of great beauty as well
as of historical interest.
Only a few acres of land would
be involved and its possible the
wrier, whet is presently unknown
to us, might be willing to donate
it to ,a park project. There is
plenty of other desirable land in
the area for industrial purposes
and if we do actually have a part
of the OST remamiftg'iTi something
that looks like its Original form,
it would seem ii shame to destroy

On the other hand, it would seem
to be worth preserving since there

Natignal Labor Shortage Looming
The Denartmenf oj Labor is beginning to worry pver
a prospective shortage of workers to keen the nation's
economy expanding at its present rate.
In a report over the weekend. Secretary of Labor
Mitchell mpde two important comments. He said:
1. Industry will have to revise its nersonnel policies
to make wav for more women and elderly persons who
will be needed to fill jobs over the next eight years.
2. Industry, in cooperation w\th schools and cbUeges,
must undertake technical training on the job ahd in , . .. , ..
classrooms to produce qvdcldy the large number pi *M\ resembto^ i J oriSl torm^^
ed workers necessarv to support the growing economy
and population •________
These comments were ba^ed on a new Labor Depart-
ment study of manpower needi between now.aild l965.
This shows that the present' rate of expansion of the
economy and population will require the countrv to
produce goods and sendees worth 560 billion dollars a
year bv the middle of the next decade. ''
Such a gross national product. Mitchell savs, will
require an increase -in the working force of about 10
million workers^about half of them women and many
of the others older persons.
Q. How can I make an umbrella
stand for the back porch?
A. 8 a towel bar is screwed
against the back porch wall, with
a shallow tray or vessel beneath,
it makes an excellent umbrella
stand.
Q. How can I- take th« frost ouj
of fruits and vegetables?
A. Put them in cold water and
allow them to remain until their
plump, fair appearance indicates
that the frost has disappeared.
Q. How can I relieve baby’s up-
set stomach?
A. Beat the white of an egg until
stiff, and add a few drops of lemon;
juice and a small amount of sugar.'
Give « small quantity at a time.
ECUADOR BUILDS BRIDGE
GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador—A new
steel bridge at Quevedo in the
mountainous interior of Ecuador
is an important extension that will
carry the Pan-American Highway
to this country’s Pacific port
cities of Guayaquil and Manta.
The bridge eliminated a ferry sys-
tem that could be used only dur-
ing high water. Vehicles had to
ford the stream when the water
was low.
