Another Year
*7
This week starts a new year
for Signal-Citizen, the volume
changes to Number 53. This
means that the paper has
been in operation for filty-
two years. This is a long time
for the operation of a busi-
ness, and we realize lully that
it could not have been done
without the loyal support of
friends and patrons, and for
this we are deeply grateful.
In 1929. the Signal owned
and operated by the late J. H.
Lowry, and the Citizen, own-
ed by the J. D. Moyer estate
and edited by the late H. B.
Moyer, were consolidated
with the title, Signal-Citizen.
At the death of H. B. Moyer,
Mrs. J. D. Moyer took over
the active management until
her demise in December, 1941.
Her daughter, Mrs. G. K.
Fladger is now owner.
Turning through the files of
1926, when the paper was 35
years of age, we found this
tribute from the pen of J. H.
Lowry, and we reprint it in
full:
“Last Friday was Signal’s
birthday; please get your
presents ready. Thirty-five
years ago Friday the sheet
Mi
made its bow. It was a cute
t youngster then, With pink

I toes, and coniiaently enargea
the fount of sustenance,
which was the people of this
good section. T he fount
proved insufficient, and two
years later creditors took
charge and turned the starved
infant over to us. We rustled
for it by day and sung lulla-
bies by night. It’s still here,
and Friday it observed its
35th anniversary. This is
about all there is to say, ex-
cept that we are grateful to
all who made its stay possible.
Some have led it cornbread,
and some have bestowed syl-
labub. It is by no means fat
enough to brag, but it is not
enough to be discouraged.

other hand will be guiding its
=
destines then, and it will have
a new set of readers. We sin-
cerely hope it will be a more
pretentious sheet when it
reaches three - score-and-ten
and that one who can sing
sweeter songs to it will be in
charge. If the Signal’s birth-
day reminds us of anything
in particular, it is the old les-
son that the earth’s popula-
tion is rapidly changing, and
that men and women, like
leaves stirred by the autumn
winds, are constantly falling
uowxi. TIiuoc Who Wuc uid
when Signal sprang into ex-
istence now have their names
carved on the tomb, the mid-
dle-aged have either passed
on, or are in the “sere and
yellow leaf.’’ Perhaps a ma-
jority of those who now read
the sheet were born after the
date of Signal’s birth. Going

records of marriages, then of
the birth of children to the
union, then of the marriage
of the children, and the birth
of children unto them, and
some oli the children of the
nhird generation have taken
their life-mates. On the fing-
ers of one hand you may
count the number of business
men and professional men of
Honey Grove who were serv-
ing this people in capacities
whpn tbp birth of Siemal was
announced.
Thirty-five years is a long
time to stay in a dingy, dis-
mal den, but for the imprison-
ment Signal has given us
bread and clothes. Yea, it
has given us hundreds of
friends who are kind, patient,
sympathetic and forgiving.
The words of cheer given by
these, day alter day, are
sweeter than the honey and
the honey comb, and far more
to be desired are they than
much fine gold.’’

oners, interned and missing.
On the same day that these
sobering accounts of human
suffering and sacrifice were
carried by national press ser-
vices, they also told of urgent
appeals by Harold L. Ickes,
solid fuels administrator, that
20,000 miners of hard coal be
somehow induced to end their
production - crippling strike
over money matters and re-
turn tu work on a six-day ba-
sis. They were asking $2 a
day more pay.
Home of the Brave
Contemporary with these
items of interest, Aubrey
Williams, director of the Na-
tional Youth Administration,
went before a joint congres-
sional committee on non-
essential federal spending to
explain why the NYA should
live another year and spend
twice as much money as in
1942 — i. e., 122 million dol-
lars. In doing this, he showed
that NYA had 38,000 active
work stations and 53,000
trainees, as of last October;
not quite three students for
every two training stations.
The President’s first mes-
sage to the 78th Congress of-
fered hope of victory in 1944
—early or late. Persons in a
position to know, say 1943 is
the big year of war. It ap-
pears inevitable that men will
be fighting and dying daily
for freedom and rignts oi
self - government. But a cur-
sory review of the news on
the ldrst day of the year’s
second week seems to divide
the nation into two classes,
the givers and the getters.
The Price of Blood
Of course there must be a’
big intermediate ciass, people
doing a great deal for victory
but failing, in varying meas-
ure, to do their best. Never-
theless it is obvious that those
more willing to grab than to
sacrifice comprise a big
group. Thinking of the men
who bear the brunt of battle,
no privation can seem too
great if it will shorten the
days of carnage, hasten vic-
tory and make it iess costiy
in blood.
Rightly Uncle Sam is ask-
ing farmers to grow more
with less help and at greater
cost, demanding that manu-
facturers produce more at
greater risk and at less prof-
it, and warning consmers that
they will be paying more
presently, and getting less.
Patriotic people are not dis-
mayed by this. They do it to
save some young man’s life.
They do it to preserve the
form of government that has
given humanity the best liv-
ing conditions to people in all
walks of life.
The War Is On
Social reforms of recent
years have been (wdien insti-
tuted) good and praiseworthy.
Labor unions, without proo-
able dispute, have done as
much as anything else to pro-
mote the ideals our demo-
cratic institutions were de-

mg for young people ham-
pered by circumstances is
what great educators have
worked generations to pro-
vide. But the 100 biition-
doliar war cost this >eai must
probe deep into the purses of
immilies w ho, in America, are
called poor. Not one hour
made idle by bickering will
ever return. Forgetting the
war this year maneuver foi
group advantages surely re-
quires a glorified appreciation
of social reforms.
The Heart’s Desire
By Ruth Taylor.
“Freedom is the right to
seek for one’s heart’s desire
—and to iet the other man
hunt for his.”
Doesn’t this thought ex-
press the ideals and dreams
of all of us? We are all seek-
ers after our heart’s desire,
that vision that is our guiding
star, leading us on through
d i s couragement, heartache
and despair toward a shining
goal at the rainbow’s end.
“The right to seek”—free-
dom to move about, to be no
man’s slave and no man’s
master, but tree to search for
those things which we want,
a home, economic security, a
job in which we can serve
others because wre wish to
serve. That is a right for-
ever laid down.to us in the
Constitution. That is a right
we will never abrogate,
though we may voluntarily
lay it aside in times of com-
mon danger.
“Our heart’s desire” — the
goal of happiness which is
common to all of us—no mat-
ter how we may express it,
O’ui v O ULbiiC 40 iUi the
betterment of ourselves and
of* those we hold dear. It may
b‘e sacrifice that it our heart’s
desire, the priests who went
to minister unto the lepers
were so motivated; it may be
the building of a home that is
our heart’s desire—the con-
quering of the wilderness was
the fruit of this wish; it may
be greater benefits for our
children — our fTee schools,
our great universities, our
high spirited teachers are the
fulfillment of that dream.
Our heart’s desire is not the
same for any of us—but it is
OURS, created out of our
needs, our hope and our faith
—not by the will of another
man.
“To let the other man hunt
for his” — we cannot keep
freedom to ourselves. Free-
dom is never a lonely thing, a
right of one man for himself!
alone. Special privilege is
license not liberty. Freedom
by its very nature is univer-
sal. We must never forget
that the master is slave as
well as the man; the jailer as
well as the captive. Our
homes are safe as we respect
our neighbor’s home. Our
children grow in strength and
learn wisdom as we make
these opportunities free to all
children. We go freely to
worship as we allow our
neighlx>r the same privilege.
No church, regardless of de-
nomination, is safer than ft*
neighboring cathedral, churcli
or synagogue*. Freedom is
based on the seif-resjiect of
man, and on his correspond-
ing respect for his neighbor

course of his address, the

make further suggestions to
the Legislature.
Several bills have already
been presented affecting old
age assistance. I have joined
Representative Favors in a
bill to remove the $1,750,000
ceiling governing old age as-
sistance distribution. This bill
will revise the present clear-
ance fund allocation and di-
vert the surplus of House Bill

the old age fund. In this way
the old folks can avoid any
further cut in pension pay-
ments and still add additional
thousands to the rolls that
are eligible under the present
law’s.
I am hopeful that the gov-
ernor will endorse our plan or

vent any chaotic condition
from arising in our social se-
curity program.
I am also co-author of the
constitutional amendment to
erase the existing discrimina-
tion against the dependent
children, it will require a
two-thirds vote of the Legis-
lature since it was incorpo-
rated into the Constitution
in 1935.
I am joining Representa-
tive Wattner in a bill to pro-
vide for listing and certifying
each month the names of per-
sons above 65 who die and are
taken from rolls of old age as-
sistance. It is estimated that
about 1000 old age pensioners
are taken from them monthly.
In compliance with the gov-
ernor’s recommendations for
liquor regulation, I have in-
troduced a bill to prescribe
dry zones for ten -miles
around military centers. This
bill is the identical one pre-
sented by W. Lee O'Daniel
during the 17th Legislature.
He is pushing for the enact-
ment of this bill in Congress
on a national basis.
I have also introduced a
constitutional amendment so
as to change the age qualifi-
cation for voters by allowing
18, 19 and 20 year olds the
right to vote. Since these
youths are serving in armed
forces, I feel that they should
now receive the privilege of
suffrage along with other cit-
that 18 year olds are now
educated sufficiently to qual-
ify as intelligent voters and
citizens.
Boyce House, popular Fort
Worth commentator and poli-
tician, is covering this legis-
lative session and getting
valubale information for his
Texas column and Sunday ra-
dio broadcasts. House has
some good information in re-
gard to the inner affairs of
our state government and
Texas people will do well to
carefully read his column.

For every soldier who land-
ed in Africa, seven tons of
equipment and supplies were
set down on the beach. And,
in addition to this, we must
send these forces one and a
half tons per month per man
as long as he is overseas.
The opening of a new front
in Africa by American forces
will practically double the de-
mand or production in many
war plants. With no doubling
of a supply of skilled workers
in sight, industrial manage-
ment must meet this test by
increasing its already heavily
burdened production machin-
ery in every possible way.
