22 YEARS WITH HERALD
With this issue of the Panhandle
Herald, this editor reaches the end of 22
years of association with this publica-
tion. It was on March 1, 1926, that J. L.
Nunn, his father, the late Dr. J. E.
Nunn, and the present publisher pur-
chased The Herald from Lee Satter-
white, now of Austin. J. L. Nunn sold his
interest in the firm April 1, 1932, and
The Herald has been published since
then by this editor alone.
A newspaper publisher seldom has
the time or energy to do the things he
likes. Although this publisher has been
associated with The Herald for more
than 1,000 issues, there has never been
an edition that has entirely pleased him.
There is so much that needs to be done
for a newspaper to approach the ideals
even of an average publisher.
The Herald has tried to give the
people of Panhandle and Carson county
a newspaper that is of service. It has
many short comings, but it has always
tried to play fair. It has been a matter
of pride with the publisher to try nearly
every week to write some editorials.
Subjects discussed range from local to
international affairs.
Across the Editor’s desk come several
dozen weekly newspapers. No weekly
newspaper received begins to compare
with The Herald in response to readers
about the subjects discussed in editor-
ials. The Herald’s editorial columns re-
present the editor’s beliefs or philosophy
of today. No claim is made that the
views never chang. Some of the editor-
ials written 15 or 20 years ago possibly
would seem inappropriate today.
Probably the greatest insult that
this editor ever received was from a per-
son offering to write some editorials
favoring a certain national issue. That
man was told in no uncertain terms that
even if this editor favored his project
and that he could write ten times as
good as this writer that he never would
contribute anything to the editorial
column of The Herald.
If there is anything to the editor
speaking, it can be truly said that the
Panhandle Herald editor speaks when
he publishes his weekly editorials—no
matter how inappropriate the subjects
may be or how poorly they may be writ-
ten.
And with the next issue The Herald
Editor begins his 23rd year. May the
pleasure of associating with the good
citizens of Carson county another year
be as pleasant as the 22 years that have
gone by.
WHITHER JUNIOR COLLEGES?
Texans have looked with favor at the,
trend for the establishmnt of municipal
or county junior colleges. The number
has increased rapidly and it is planned
to establish colleges shortly at Borger
and Pampa.
But, these junior colleges may be the
cause of many heartaches in negro en-
rollment. At Amarillo the other day
three negroes, who had been at outs
with their own school, Wiley College,
applied for admission and said they
would get 25 or 30 applications to join
them.
After a few days, the leaders decided
they would return to the college in
which thy had been students and would
probably apply this fall. If every junior
college is going to receive applications
from negroes and must provide addi-
tional facilities, you can see that prob-
lems are going to increase rapidly.
Some of these communities in their
civic pride to have junior colleges may
not be so enthusiastic if efforts continue
to break the color line. It has become
evident in recent months that equal fa-
cilities are not the goals of some agitat-
ors, but social equality is what is desired
by negroes in colleges.
The Supreme Court took a sensible
angle about this problem recently when
it refused to consider a case from Okla-
homa and sent it back to state courts.
If states with large negro populations
will establish adequate facilities, such
as Texas has done in the Texas State
University for Negroes at Houston, it
may be that negroes will be glad to asso-
ciate with their own race and feel hon-
ored to obtain equal education in their
own schools.
A BALLAD HUNTER PASSES ON
John A. Lomax made a world-wide
reputation because he devoted years of
his life to gathering cowboy and folk
songs, specially of Texas and the South-
west.
A native of Mississippi, he had gone
back to that state to make an address
on his 80th birthday. He was stricken
after he arrived in Greenville, Miss.,
two or three days before the contemplat-
ed meeting which he was to address.
The body was returned to Texas and
buried at Austin.
It was fitting that his last look should
have been an autobiography, “Adven-
tures of a Ballad Hunter.” Just before
this book was published, The Herald
editor ran across him in down town
Dallas and he told about acceptance of
the book by a noted publisher and of an
advance roylty payment that had been
made.
Although he may have been supreme
in his field of ballad collecting, Lomax
was strictly human with his likes and
dislikes. A day or two after this chance
Dallas meeting, Lomax'penned a letter
to The Herald editor requesting that he
use his influence to fire a certain Uni-
versity of Texas faculty member. Lomax
had no use for this professor and did
not hesitate to say so in his letter.
This Regent did not choose to use any
influence that way and even Lomax
lived to see the person retire most gra-
ciously from the University.
RED CROSS GOAL IN DAY
Carson County Red Cross Chapter
will seek its $1,422 quota in one day,
Monday, March 1.
This is a modest sum and indicates
able management of the Carson Coun-
ty chapter. A one day drive will be
waged and there is no doubt but what
it will be a success under Mrs. Fannie
Williams, county campaign chairman.
During the war when the goal was
$6,000 to $8,000, Carson county
promptly raised its quota in one day.
There is not the spur of a world war to
raise the fund today, but there is great
civilian need. i
The Red Cross put more money in
Texas in 1947 than the people donated
in the campaign last year. The national
headquartees cheerfully did relief work
in Texas City after the explosion and in
the Higgins-Glazier tornado area.
Do not hesitate to make your dona-
tion; give ahead of time if you can, but
give no later than March 1. Let’s put
over the Red Cross goal in one day and
go'about doing other things that are for
the welfare of Panhandle and Carson
county.

Only Exposed Portion
The retina of the eye is the only
portion of the human brain which
is readily available to inspection
during life. The eye itself acts as a
low-power microscope, providing a
magnification of about 15 diameters
for the examination of the retina and
its arteries and veins.
Favorite Dishes
In the United States, it’s hot dogs; '
in the Middle American republic of
El Savador, the popular snack is A j
the pupqsa. Pupusas are tortillas,
or corn cakes, filled with cheese,
beans or pork cracklings, or with a
mixture of all three. Like hot dogs,
they are sold at roadside stands, at
a cost which, in American money,
would be a penny each.
Our First Torpedo

invented the Lay submarine torpedo
for the U S. government.

REMINDS EDITOR
OF GOP DINNER
Editor The Herald:
Please let me put you right; you
will note the $3 dinner. Our Demo-
cratic friends in their Jefferson
Day dinners charge all the way
from $25 to $100—it seems a little
inflation.
Dave, come over on the 12th; it
might do you good. I am guessing
that the Republican candidate,
whoever it may be, will get more
votes than any Republican can-
didate since Herbert Hoover was
elected president, but time will
tell.
Yours truly,
DAVE WALLACE
Amarillo, Texas
Feb. 6, 1948.
Editor’s Note: The foregoing
letter was received recently from
Mr. Wallace and got mixed in a
stack of cricular mail, so it was
not opened until Feb. 20. Wallace
enclosed a sentence from a Herald
editorial stating that the Republi-
cans would not have Lincoln day
dinner this year. The Herald editor
was thinking in "terms of the
state-wide metropolitan dinner
and the one at Amarillo had not
been announced at the time the
editorial was written. Wallace
backed up his letter with his of-
ficial invitation to make a reser-
vation for the Republican dinner
at Amarillo.
which Texas has been a part.
The idea of the design was sug-
gested in 1936 when the Centen-
nial was celebrated, but it was not
until months following the ob-
servance that the floor was laid,
Dr. Sellards said.

A brief statement of the nature
In March 1940, this office went into the insurance busi-
ness. We signed contracts with Floyd West & Company
at Dallas, general agents in Texas for 18 northern and
eastern insurance companies, and with the Royal Insur-
ance Company, New York, New York.
We are mighty glad we did, because these companies
have since paid the people of this community many
important claims.
Since that date we have signed contracts to sell and
service insurance for Cravens, Dargan & Company, gen-
eral agents at Houston, and with Great American In-
surance Company and Great American Indemnity Com-
pany of New York.
In June of 1940 we signed a contract to sell and service
life insurance for the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York, New York.
With these important outlets, we have for your better
insurance service, and the security of you and yours—
Life Insurance, Fire Insurance, Automobile Insurance,
Fidelity Bonds, Hail Insurance on Growing Crops, Lia-
bility, Health, Accident & Hospitalization Insurance.
Our companies are old line, legal reserve, insurance
companies. Combined assets of the companies we repre-
sent is over four and a half billion dollars.
We believe that we have one of the most under supplied
and one of the most universally needed products in this
country of ours. That's the basis for faith in our trade.
We study our business, we study the angles where you
might be vulnerable to suit and study all of the features
of the business where we can possibly help to make
more secure the financial security of you and yours.
And that is the basis for our confidence in serving you.
