VOLUME 44
CORRIGAN, POLK COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1938.
NUMBER 31
To the People
Of Polk County
I honestly and sincerely be
lieve that you, the people of
Polk county will be making a
wise selection it' you choose
John Wood for your railroad
commissioner.
John Wood has made an ex-
cellent and outstanding record
as chairman of the highway
commission for the past five
years, and if you elect him
your railroad commission he
will fill the position better than
any man has every held it.
He is running this race on his
merits, and I feel honor in rec-
omending John Wood for your
next railroad commissioner.
Arnold Reed.
ROAD SAFETY GAINS
A 27 per cent decrease in
traffic fatalities in May, 1938,
over the corresponding month
last year, was the greatest sin-
gle monthly reduction report-
ed since 1926, according to
the National Safety council.
May was the seventh conse-
cutive month in w h i c h acci-
dents have been reduced in the
face of increasing vehicular
use.
The downward trend has
b n nationwide,with improve-
ment reported for May in 37
of the 41 reporting states.
SENATOR VERNON LEMENS
ADVOCATES G. H. NELSON
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Praising Senator G. H. Nel-
son of Lubbock as “a man with
a program,*’ Senator Vernon
of Waxahacbie spoke here
last Saturday; advocating Sen-
ator Nelson's election to the
Lieutenant-Governor’s office.
He also cited Nelson’s work
in behalf of a sound soil con-
servation law “to save and re-
build the precious soil which
is the basis of all prosperity.”
I can recommend G. H. Nel-
son to the people of Texas as
one cf the most capable men j
in office today. He deals fair-
ly with the people, and I hope
t at t'ey will elect him as their
Lieutenant-Governor,” he said.
THE SMALL
TOWN
“The small town is coming
into its own, that is a bow of
promise arching the sky of
this nation’s future. It has al-
ways been the source of tile
city’s virility.
Nowadays no one need go
to the city for a career. Big
things can be done in smaller
places. Town and village are
even coming to be preferred
for many types of enterprise.
If you would know the United
States, look beyond the big
cities. Most of our country is
in the country. These 15,000
separate small communities ad-
joining the farms, each with
its individuality, its centers of
thought and opinion, are re-
freshing to think upon when
the delusion rises that the
booming tones of the cities are
the voice of the United States.”
