say common sense counts on bi-
cycles, just as it does anywhere
else. You can "gangwuy” into a
group of smuller children playing
on th csidewalk—and see them
scramble or get hurt. Or you can
think of them first. You can be a
fool on a bike or you can be bright
beyond your years. You can hitch on
trucks, run red lights, durt into
traffic. Or you can be careful. Re-
member, when bike hits auto, auto
usually wins. When bike hits child
or grown-up, bike usually wins.
But in cither event, if you’re riding
the bike, you lose!

the Conference of the Business Wo-

while they are away and we know
that our loss will be the gain of the
churches in which they serve while
in college. Our prayers and good
wishes will be with them.

TO THE VOTERS
Columbus, Texas, August 17, 1946
My opponent, Senator Sulak, has advertised mat
out of 12 important bills before Congress, I failed to
vote upon six of them, and he reaches the conclusion
that I am only a 50'/< representative. I sent a copy
of this ad to Washington to be checked up. I am
advised by the office of Honorable South Trimble,
Clerk of the House, that during the last session of
Congress there were 148 no quorum calls and 130
yea and nay votes, making a total of 278 roll calls in
that one session. If I were absent pn six of them,
as Senator Sulak says, he may find upon examination
of the record, that few, if any, members answered to
a greater number. I am not an expert in mathe-
matics, consequently I have never reached the con-
clusion that six is 50% of 278.
I came to Texas three times during this session,
once to attend the hearing of the Galveston sea-wall.
Ov another occasion for the hearing at Bellville on
Mill Creek. On the third visit to Texas, I came sev-
eral weeks before adjournment, after practically all
of the work in which I was engaged had been dispos-
ed of in the House. I am advised by the assistant
clerk of the committee that the roll calls on which I
am recorded as being absent, with one exception,
occurred when I was in Texas, and these visits were
far more important to the people at interest than any
of the roll call votes would have been. One of the
bills listed by Senator Sulak as the “$400,000,000
Housing Subsidy” the roll call was upon an amend-
ment, and instead of being absent, the record shows
1 was present and voted “Yea.” The Clerk calls at-
tention to the fact that the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th bills
listed by Senator Sulak are virtually one and the
same bill pertaining to the OPA on H. J. Res. 371.
Listing it four times may have had some effect upon
the percentage. (Pol. Adv.)
