Carrollton People
Want To Work
A meeting of the Carrollton
citizens was h< Id iu the Myers
theatre Monday night to dis-
cuss the work program of the
CWA relief administration.
Commissioner Tom Field met
with them and after F. II. Me-
Murray and Rex Good explain*

the new road work progium
and the desire for and reasons
why same is desirable in a new
road west from Carrollton to-
ward the Cotton Belt crossing.
Mr. Field was called upon for
some expressions on the sever-
al matters thus laid before the
meeting. The road in question
is that which tiie Chi on,cl > de-
scribed last week. Several
projects in road work north of
town were taken up, Mr. Field
exprest himself as willing to
help our people in any nirnncr
within his ability. Tno.v desire

started on some of them. Just

turned them loose. A delega
tion had gone to Dallas some
days b< foie to son him and had
not been granted an audience
With this august personage, he
was very busy and s cniingly
had no time for Carrollton peo
pie. They decided at this meet-
ing to try again, and Mr. Mc-
Murray was onpowered to

Numerous possible projects
vveic taken up and it developed
that we have ample woik in
this section to keep men at
work for some time.
John T. Orr and associates and
tlie plan will be laid before
Carrollton people Saturday
night at a meeting to be held
in the City Hall at 7 o’clock.
Mr. Orr, J. G. Morrow and oth-
ers will be here to place the
plan before our people and you
are asked to be there to learn
of the plan that it is hoped
will help those who have pro-
ducts to sell and desire to get
in touch with the users with-
out so much intervening han-
dling and expense.
Mr. J. G. Morrow and Mrs.
Fannie Marsh were in Carroll-
ton Tuesday making prepara-
tions for this meeting and ex-
plaining the plan to those with
whom they came in contact
and iaid the groundwork for an
enthusiastic meeting Saturday

advertised and it is quite likely
that a large number of persons
will be there for this market-
ing proposition is vital to our
people.

Mack Says:
A wise man said: “Youth stumbles around
with THEORIES. Old age has to contend with
FACTS.” There is a sermon in those two sen-
tences.
Youth is ready and willing to take a chance.
Old Age must be more careful. But whether in
Youth or Age. it is a fine thing to have a con-
nection with a good Bank like OURS, where your
funds are SAFE; where you feel free to ask ad-
vice; where the best of banking facilities are
yours for the asking. Always at your service.
