A State Farm Homeowners
policy pays off two ways.
First, by protecting your
home and belongings
against almost every risk
imaginable. (Even covers
you in case of lawsuits,) And
secondly, by paying big

♦The State of Texes has approved a 15%
dividend on State Farm Homeowners poli-
cies purchased after July 1, 1964.
In 1957 Yarborough finally was
elected senator aganist Martin.
Dies,Sr. (another neighbor). Dies
conducted a decent, dignified
campaign and did not stoop to the
level of Shivers or Daniel.
And the heavens did not fall.
The Reds did not take over. In
fact, Ralph Yarborough built the
most progressive record of any
politician in Texas history.
In 1958 against millionaire Cow-
boy Bill Blakley, Ralph Yar-
borough was re-elected. This des-
pite the sniping of the Democratic
Party hacks grouped around the
old Shivers-Daniel machine in
Texas. Again, as always, Har-
din County stood with R W Y.
Do you remember 1960? This
was the year when the Texas Big
shot politicians were lombasting
the great John Kennedy because
of his religion. But not Ralph Yar-
borough. He refused to join the
anti-Kennedy campaign, and was
the first Texas politician to an-
nounce support of Kennedy. Some
of the hate-Kennedy people came
along after a Texan was placed
on the ticket. But not all-Shivers
never did get behind the ticket
and Price Daniel kept running
down the Democratic Platform
during the whole campaign.
But through all the anti-Cath-
olic tirade-there stood Ralph Yar-
borough holding high the banner
of the Democratic Party-he sup-
ported the nominees and the plat-
form for the betterment of man-
kind - And there stood Hardin
County.
Do you remember the primary
election of this year-1964? With
the old Scotchman, Gordon Mc-
Clendon, the old warhorse of the
Shivers and Daniel machine hack-
ing away at a level as low, yes
as low, as the gutter campaigns
conducted by Shivers and Daniel.
McClendon, in cohoots with the
Dallas News, sought to rob Ralph
Yarborough of his greatest asset-
the peoples’ confidence in his in-
tegrity and honesty. The Dallas
News was running true to form and
was fighting Yarborough just as it

fought that other great' Texan,
Jim Hogg. The "big lie" this year
was not the Port Arthur Story-that
wouldn't do because the people
had matured too much. This year
it was a $50,000 gift from Billie
Sol Estes. Now, everyone knows
that Billie Sol made contributions
to Ralph Yarborough's Campaigns.
No one has denied this. And I sup-
pose Billie Sol expected favored
treatment. But he recei ved none
from Ralph Yarborough. Check
Professor Haley's book on this. Not
even the Birchers believe that
Ralph Yarborough was dishonest
and helped Billie Sol anymore
than all of his other Texas Con-
stituents. But Billie Sol, like other
free spenders, was disappointed^
because he was unable to buy
Ralph Yarborough's integrity. And
he, like other big spenders, turned
■ on Senator Yarborough. He joined
in with the Dallas News in an at-
tempt to defeat the greatest
statesman that Texas has pro-
duced. But they over did it when
they concocted die "big lie "-the
$50,000 gift story. The FBI in-
vestigated and co nf irmed what
people in Hardin County already
knew-that Ralph Y a r b o r o ugh's
honesty and integrity can not be
questioned. The "big lie" like
Humpty dumpty fell off the wall
and all the king's horses and all
the king's men-or the Dallas News
either-for that matter-can not
put it back together again.
Yes, Ra lph Yarborough's pol-
itic a 1 road had been rough and
rocky-but he has never flinpjied-
he has stood tail-stood like a
stonewall.__

every morning mad at Washing-
ton, and another thing to wake
up mad at yourself.
Why do you think the Secre-
tary of Agriculture is always
somebody who's not a farmer?
You're not going to get a farmer
to go in there and hunt for an
answer in Washington when he
couldn't find one on his farm.
You take me. I don't know
what the answer to Viet Nam is
but I'd rather try to tell you than
to tell you what the answer is to
the farm problem. It's true I
don't know what's going on in
Viet Nam, but what makes you
think I know what's going on on
this Fire Ant Farm?

BIG THICKET MUSEUM
Last Sunday afternoon in
Saratoga, a group of very en-
thusiastic people got together
to discuss the possibilities of a
Big Thicket Museum. The edi-
tor of this paper and Represent-
ative Emmett Lack were invited
to this meeting. The meeting
was held in the First Methodist
Church of Saratoga.
The purpose of this first meet-
ing was to organize some type
of association to head this pro-
gram. It was decided that the
association be called The Big
Thicket Historical Society. La-
nce Rosier was elected President,
Mrs. Peggy Foster as Secretary,
and CarlSory as Treasurer. The
following people were named
directors of the association:
Rep. Emmett Lack, Jimmy Jen-
nings, Rev. Leon Unger, Mrs.
Laure Mitchell, Mrs. W. E.
Coon, Mrs. D. V. Oliver, Mrs.
W. E. Jordan, D. V. Oliver,
W. E. Coon, and Harold Fill-
ingim. The Pine Needle has
been authorized to ask all in-
terested parties that wish to
work on this program to con-
tact Mrs. Peggy Foster, Box 5,
Saratoga.
We feel that this is some-
thing that this area has been
needing for sometime. This ef-
fort is not only to attract tourist
trade but to preserve the herit-
age of the Big Thicket. As some
of the senior c it ize ns of .this
| area know, the things that were-
Things are a lot more confort-
able when you leave the Viet
Nam problem to the farmers and
the farm problem to Viet Nam.
Yours faithfully,
J.A.
a part of die way of life of the
Big Thicket Frontier are vastly
dwindling away. The aim of the
Big Thicker Society is to gather
up what is left into a museum
and preserve it forever.
To those people who are real-
ly interested we urge you lay
aside any grievances and work
with the people mentioned a -
bove»to make this possible.
The Pine Needle has pledged
its support to do anything it can
to see this come about. There
will be another meeting, Sun-
day, Oct. 11, at the First Me-
thodist Church of Saratoga. We
once again would like to urge
all who wish to work with the
Big Thicket Historical Society,
to make this Museum possible,
to come to the meeting.
