Indians 200 Years And Now
Two hundred yeots ago there was a tiny little
cttlcmrnt on the western edge of flic European settle
ments that fringed the Aflantir Coast of America
There were many such, but let's consider one
It was a tiny village <Today the United States
is a vast continental country of I 33,000,000 souls >
The people worked for a living, clearing little
farms outside the village trading, trapping (Today
poeple work for a living, at bench, at desk, at
counter,)
In this small community on the edge of the for-
i ,t. they were dependent on one another < And so are
we today, less obviosuly, but no less completely. I
Beyond the edge of the village and its clearings
dwelt savage Indians, always threatening to go on the
warpath and seize or destroy what they had built,
i Beyond the sea at either edge of our present country,
great nations are already on the warpath, taking or
destroying what comes within their power, threaten-
ing the remainder.)
The settlers, hearing rumors of Indian uprisings,
called ir the surrounding farmers from their clear-
ings, and a I f went to work to build palisades and pre-1
pare for defense (The United States adopted uni-
versal military service and set in motion a huge de-
fense program.)
Some of the farmers didn't want to leave their
clearings. (Jobs, we call them now.) They preferred
to work at their own clearings rather than dig trenches
at the fort But the danger was so great that every-
body had to do the work that was necessary. They
did it Some of them had. by the sweat of their brows,
cut logs for barns, split rails for fences. (Capital, the
economists call it today.) But the logs and rails were
needed for palisades, and the danger was so great
that they had to be used ’Heavy taxation, capital
levies Defense Bond purchases, are the modern
equivalent.)
But they saw the common danger. The farmers
gave up their accumulated logs and rails, the traders
stopped trading and drilled. The farmers stopped
grubbing stumps and dug ditches When the Indians
arrived they were sternly repulsed and driven off.
The Indian power was broken. Peace reigned.
Muskets were laid down, trading resumed. The stock-
ade was uprooted, and some of the logs and rails were
restored to the settlers as they returned to their clear-
ings. The community developed amid mutual pros-
perity and peace for all.
Had the settlers not joined together, not made
mutual sacrifices, they might all have been mass-
acred, and their beloved homes in the forest lost for-
ever. (Have we forgotten the lesson taught us by our
forbears on the frontier, 200 years ago?)

About federal control:
No control over the industry is

ipating in the robbery were
caught but Cole never was suc-
cessful in obtaining a parole.
He walked out of prison one
night while on duty as a commis-
sary clerk and had been leading
a respectable life since then.
He had lived in Borger since
the early 1930’s and was manager
of three liquor stores here when
apprehended.
Before settling in Borger, Cole
had knocked about mostly in the
oil fields of Texas and Oklahoma.
An ironic sidelight to the case
was that Cole served four months
on the Tulsa police force after
his escape from prison, and once
had a job as watchman in Tulsa
during labor trouble in 1917 and
1918.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex.. Oct 22—
i.-Pi—A Kelly Field instructor
and a cadet were killed and an
observer critically injured early
today when two night-patrolling
army airplanes collided, one of
them finally coming to rest in the
center of a main highway 12
miles north of here.
The dead were Lieut. Harold
H. Jessen, instructor, and Cadet
A. B O'Brien.
O’Brien was the son of Mr. and
Mrs. H. B. O’Brien of Grand
Rapids, Mich.
Critically injured was George
Meador, 23, son of Mrs. Georgie
V. Meador. arrows, Va.
Lieut. Jessons residence ad-
dress was given as San Antonio.
The operations office at Kelly
Field said the crash occurred
wHile the ships were returning
to their base because of weather
conditions. Jcssen’s plane first
landed in a field, then bounced
and skidded 700 yards to the
Fredericksburg highway.
Traffic was delayed for hours
while Kelly Field officials were
having the wreckage removed.
O'Brien's plane fell about 300
yards from Jcssen’s.
The crash was first reported
by Highway Patrolman N. R.
McRae, who came upon the
wreckage blocking the highway.

Dear Editor:
Why should there be a Dust
Bowl'-
Why should we submit to a con- ,
tmuation of a term that has led ;
able men like Dr. Walter B. Pit-
kin. author of "Life Begins at
Forty”, and Rexford G Tugwell.
to believe that the Plains area is
unfit for human life and that its
residents should be transplanted’
Why not call California the
Earthquake Bowl, the Gulf coast
the Hurricane Bowl, the northern
U. S. reaches the Blizzard Bowl,
the East the Heat Bowl, the Miss- ^
issippi Valley the Flood Bowl and
so on ad nauseam.
We did have dust storm and
some bad ones; the Gulf coast
had a number of tremors and
some bad ones the Guig a,1
has had a lot of hurritara-s the
north U. S ha> had a lot A .li-
zards. the East a lot of heat and
an annual toll of heat nea~.ru
Mississippi Valley nave

We took our spanking 'erect-
ed our wrong fainting methods,
regrassed the land that should
never have been broken out and
this year were definitely back in
stride again
Let's help Editor Albert Law
find the originator of the term
Dust Bowl. Anybody smart enough
to coin that term, which has had
unlimited headline appeal and
has been used from coast to
coast, is bound to be smart
enough to coin one that will fit
conditions as of today.
Let1.-, get him out here and show
him what this country looks like
when she’s in stride. It's almost
a cinch he'll come as a matter
of fairness, if for no other.
This Plains country has a fine
stock of ’’merchandise" this year
in the way of fine crops, excel-
lent grass, fat cattle and other
livestock, so let’s all pitch in and
help broadcast the news.
Sincerely
Rex Mahoney, Sec.-Trcas.

British Submarines
Worry Axis Forces
LONDON. Oct. 22—(/P)—The
British admiralty announced to-
day that one British submarine
had torpedoed tw’o Axis supply
ships in a Libya-bound convoy
and that another had shelled an
airdrome in Cirenaica.
One of the supply ships was
known to have been sunk, a com-
munique said, describing the en-
gagement with the convoy as
“further successful action against
the enemy’s supply lines” in the
Mediterranean.
“Another submarine," it said,
"bombarded the airdrome at Ap-
pollnnia, in Cirenaica, in the face
of gunfire from shore defenses
and secured several hits on hang-
ars and other buildings.

The Japan Times and Advertis-
er. n newspaper controlled by the
Japanese foreign office, has add-
ed a handful of tinder to the fat-
eastern fire by urging assistance
for Thailand 'Siam' against what
are described as foreign. anti-
Japanese elements.
Assistance” presumably would
take the form of Japanese troops,
which again raises the red-hot
question of the occupation of
Siam.
Now this little country lies
right up against British Malaya,
the base of which is the great
British naval base of Singapore,
and London has once more made
clear through a spokesman that
the occupation of Siam would be
direct threat to British inter-
ests. It also would be a challenge
to the position the American gov-
ernment has taken.
In other words such a move by
Nippon might easily precipitate
war. That being the case, and
since the Times and Advertiser
wants to talk on this subject, it
is permissible for us to enter the
discussion without backing into it
apologetically.
The other night down in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, I joined in a talk-fest
with a dozen big-time oil men and
other prominent citizens, and the
topic of war between the United
States and Japan came up Some-
one asked if there was any doubt
at all about the United States
winning such a conflict, and the
answer to that is definitely in the
negative — no doubt whatever.
"However,” I added, "I may
shock some of you by saying naval

AUSTIN, Oct. 22—UP)—Ernest
O. Thompson, chairman of the
Texas Railroad Commission and
former chairman of the Inter-
state Oil Compact Commission, to-
day asked Secretary Ickes to as-
sign tankers being released by the
British to move oil from Texas
to the Atlantic seaboard as need-
ed.
In a telegram to the federal
petroleum coordinator, he said
many Texas oil fields were being
closed down several days each
month because of inadequate
transportation facilities, and as-
serted that if transportation was
provided 14,000,000 barrels addi-
tional monthly could be produced
by merely eliminating shutdown
days.
At a statewide proration hear-
ing Monday, Thompson advocat-
ed producing as much oil as pos-
sible without physical waste, de-
claring it desirable, in view of
the national emergency, to get
more crude above ground.
An opposing view was ex-
pressed bv Jerry Sadler, another
of the three commissioner’s re-
quests for increased output at
this time although the industry
and the commission was ready
t* produce all the oil needed

mended it
