Senator Lyndon B. Johnson

of the communist conspiracy to
invade the Western Hemisphere.
Castro’s Cuba will get a $100
million loan and Soviet techni-
cians to help the Cubans,

Cuba is just another exam-

such countries — by taking

The Administration proposes
also raising the soil hank from
28 to 60 million acres to limit
farm surpluses. And while hund-
reds of millions will be spent
to farm less, other hundreds of
millions will be spent to reclaim
new land to farm more,

But there is even a worse fol-
ly. How can any thinking per-
son underestimate the menace of
piling up farm people in the ci-
ties, instead of doing everything
possible to help them to stay
on the farm?

slanderous propaganda against

The Reds, of course, go even
farther. They prosecute all
Christians and anyone standing
in their way against this modern
paganism and slavery. Here also
similar elements carry on this
slanderous campaign.
Public Enemy Number One
"The power to tax is the power to destroy,” Thomas Jeffer-
son well observed. We are also facing it today, as Paul Harvey
tells in "Human Events” and again in "The Reader’s Digest.”
A farmer gets $1.73 for a bushel of wheat, or 2-1/2 cents
per loaf of bread. But then the flour mill with its fraction for
milling has to add on seven federal taxes and eight state taxes.
Then the railroad hauling the flour adds five federal taxes
also, plus state taxes in every state, through which the shipment
goes.
So also sugar. A sugar refiner pays eight federal taxes and
six Louisiana state taxes. Also the railroad, too, with hauling
has to add its tnxps
The warehouse in Chicago, where the salt used in bread was
stored, paid its many taxes. So also the yeast factory and the
milk producer.
Together on this loaf of bread 151 separate, hidden taxes
had to be paid.
It’s no different with the car you buy. Before it even left
the factory, $288 in hidden taxes had been collected. Then the
dealer’s taxes. So when you pay $2,000 for a car, more than one
fourth is just taxes.
Gasoline would sell for two cents a gallon, if it were not for
taxes.
When you count all the taxes, there are more than 1000
taxes on one quart of milk.
Paul Harvey spread this pictui<e in both magazines. There
you have the main source of inflation, together with our labor
unions always demanding more.
But of what good is it writing or talking, unless something
is done about it?
Is it hard to see where this leads to? Taxes mainly ruined
the empires of Europe and drove millions of people to this coun-
try.
But is not the same story repeated here? Is not the same
public enemy appearing here with all its taxes and bureaucracy
— an inevitable feature of socialism and communism? Is it not
where all this piling up of taxes upon taxes is leading to?
You may blame the pressure groups. But is it not also how
our legislators here'pnd in Washington are buying their votes
—* with the people’s own money, the people of course imagining
that they can get something for nothing?
That’s where this welfare state with its “getting something
for nothing” is leading to.

Public School Week Observance
\
The need for the public school never changes, but times and
conditions may change or require to be changed methods and
practices of public education. This is inherent with anything that
grows, for growth is the result of change.
Our Texas public schools were created 106 years ago. In 1854
the first law was passed establishing the public school.
It is a healthy thing In our democratic way of life to have
intelligent understanding of the important functions of our basic
institutons. This is especally true of the schools. The initiative
and resourcefulness and the wisdom and leadership that our
schools are inculcating in the youth of today are the answer of
the problems of citizenship in the years ahead.
Yes, "bring me men to match my mountains”. That is the
need of our times and must come from the public schools —
schools that are strong in virtues required for building strong
men and women.
We can bo assured of this and do our part in' understanding
and helping the public schools to fulfill their great obligaton to
our times by being a participant in the annual Public Schools
Week, February 28 through March 4. Schools will hold open
house; accept their hospitality, and you will enjoy the experience
of going back to school -— if but for a day.

Wild Man of the Navidad.”
He was a giant Negro from
Africa. He besieged the Rose
family, shouting African gibber-
ish while he tried to break in-
to the house. Finally, aftci cai-
ing a raw chicken, he went a-
way. And he never was so vio-
lent again in today’s Jackson
County where he became a mys-
tery and legend. He moved like
a ghost, entering fields, gardens
and even houses, and disappear-
ed undetected in spite of all
watching.
About the year of 1836, in the
fields of the lower Navidad ap-
peared barefoot tracks of three
human beings, seen frequently.
From their size it was judged
that one was a man, one a wo-
man and the other a child. They
sometimes made raids on the
swctrl puiaiu fields, also corn
fields, and ate raw roasting ears.
Yet they always avoided any hu-
man contact for years.
Tracks of Three
As the Rev. Samuel C. A. Rog-
ers, an early settler-patriot,
tells: “In the spring of 1845,
when going to work one morn-
ing, I found the tracks of three
persons that had been near the
house the previous night. It
Congress Expected To Act In
View Of Farm Surplus Problem
Reports from Washington in-
dicate Congress will come up
with some kind of farm pro-
gram.
The farm problem dates back
to the 1920s and the ‘30s when
the New Deal invented the idea
of subsidies for plowing under
cotton and other crops and
shooting livestock.
The government now holds
more than $9,600,000,000 in sur-
plus this year is expected to top
1,400,000,000 bushels — more
than enough to fill domestic con-
sumption requirements for two
years, without a bushel being
raised. Four years ago it was

Victoria — Special ‘night’ and
attractions galore are being
planned by the Victoria Base-
ball Club as extra added enter-
tainment. for the fans visiting
Riverside Park for the Texas
League games this summer.
Rosebud General Manager
Deirest Williams already has
announced there will be at least
26 “special nights” among the
70 home dates on Victoria’s Tex-
as League schedule which inter-
locks with the Mexican League.
Every Monday night during the
season except July 4 will be La-
dies Night. On these occasions
the ladies will be admitted free
and also will be presented a
favor from the management.
A gigantic fireworks display
between games of the July 4
double header between the Rose-
buds and the Rio Grande Valley
Giants will be a colorful spec-
tacle.
Sm/prnl nntnmohllpc will hp
given away during the season
to the lucky ticket holder.
Every time a fan buys a ticket
he will drop a stub into a con-
tainer at the ball park. Thus
he may accumulate a dozen or
more chances on the car, the
first of which will be given a-
way Saturday, April 30, when
the Austin Senators play here.
Baseball’s top stunt man —
Jackie Price — will bring his
variety of thrilling antics back
to Riverside Park, and there
will be three HI FI Teen-age
nights at the ball park at which
time an orchestra will be on
hand to play before and during
the games. After the games, the
teen-agers are invited to attend
a dance by presenting their tic-
ket stubs.
“Out of town” nights in which
residents of Jackson, Goliad,
Calhoun, Refugio, Lavaca and
DeWitt counties will be honor-
ed. A count will be kept on the
attendance of fans from these
counties on their designated
nights. The winning county will
be given a special night in which
everyone from that county will
be admitted free.
Mexican Orchestra nights
will be during the Rosebuds
opposition with visiting Mexi-
can League clubs, and will fea-
ture Mexican music throughout
the contests.
Valuable household appliances
will be distributed to lucky fans
during the. Rosebuds home stays,
and of course, any Little Lea-
gue team in uniform always
find a standing welcome from
the Victoria management at
Riverside Park excluding the
season opener and playoff
games.
The need for more and better
trained workers is clearly point-
ed up in the new Occupational
Outlook Handbook, just releas-
ed by the U. S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics. In announcing the is-
suance of the 1959 edition, Mr.
Brunswick A. Bagdon, Director
of the Bureau’s Southern Re-
gion, observed that the new
Handbook presents the latest
informntion on some 600 occu-
pations in 30 major industries.
It deals with such subjects as
nature of work, training re-
quirements, prospects for ad-
vancement, employment out-
look, location of the job, and
earnings and working condi-
tions.
In keeping with our developing
technology, new sections deal-
ing with electronic computer
programmers, technicians and
instrument repairmen are in-
cluded In this latest edition. Up
to the minute information on
jobs in the missile and space-
craft field is also a pfart of the
Handbook.
The Handbook updates job
outlook information to bring
counsellors, students, and job
seekers abreast, with changes in
America’s dynamic economy.
Although the Nation will have
some 16 million new jobs by 19-
70, some sectors of our econ-
omy will provide fewer jobs.
The new handbook was an-
nounced by the Southern Re-
gional Office of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics ht Atlanta,
Georgia.
Critical Need For
Washington Typists
Fort Sam Houston A crit-
ical need for typists and steno-
graphers in Washington, D. C.
has been announced by Frances
J. Jehl, Fort Sam Houston civi-
lian personnel officer.
Jehl states, “The Washington
labor market cannot begin to
fill the Department of the Ar-
my requirements for such per-
sonnel.”
Qualified interested candidat-
es are urged to write the Em-
ployment Coordination Office

less than a billion bushels.
Surplus corn tops 2,100,000,-
000 bushels and cotton 9,200,000
bales.
The cost of storing and hand-
ling the surpluses is a round
$3,000,000 a day, making ware-
housing a very sizeable and pro-
fitable business.
The heart of the Eisenhower
program is to reduce support
prices and step up the taking
out of production of more acre-
age. The President estimates 28,-
000,000 acres will be taken out
of production this year and he
hopes to step up in two years
to 50,000,000 acres.
The farm program has cost
the American taxpayers over
$20,000,000,000 in the last 25
years, and it has been a flop.
This is without considering the
inflation of the family food bud-
get by the price supports.
The farmer also hasn’t pros-
pered. Figures show that farm
buying power is 23 per cent un-
der what it was prior to World
War I.
The Democrats are reported
to have the direct subsidy in
mind. With the government out
of the warehousing business this
would save the $3 million a day
for storage mentioned. It would
also mean that the products
could be sold on the market at
competitive prices . . . that is
if Congress is able to act on the
proposal.
caused some surprise.
One day a hunting party near
Morales noticed a peculiar pile
of leaves and moss. They dug
into the pile and found a skele-
ton of a man. Some thought it
was one oi tnose uuee mysteri-
ous people.
Rev. Rogers tells further a-
bout “The Wild Man of the
vidad:
“They had been about us soma
more than a year, up to the
time we missed tiie tracks of
two of them, the small one ana
the other evidently of the wo-
man.
‘ What became of the two, no
one found out. Some thought
that both died. Now only one re-
mained. He would come at night
and even the sleeping dog!
would not wake up.
The individual was a mystery
with everyone. Why he could not
be seen when every method ha4
been used to do so, keeping
watch all night and then in the
morning finding his tracks that
he had been in the yard and gar-
den. Once eight settlers met at
junction of the Navidad and
Sandies and searched the bot-
toms the entire day, without
seeing anything. They found se-
veral places where the mystery
man made his home, including
two trees. One was a live oak
that forked about thirty feet
above the ground, forming a
place on which he could lie down
and sl<»en. There was also a
place where he could make a
small fire to cook whatever ha
had to eat.
Once hungers finally chased
"The Wild Man” out of the thick
brush and a cowboy on a hors#
went after him trying to lasso
him. Yet he escaped. But finally,
some months later, he was cor-
nered up in a tree and captured.
It turned out to be a well-known
ape-like man of tropic Africa.
This was “The Wild Man of the
Navidad”, a mystery man for
years.
The giant Negro was a chief-
tain’s son, brought here, of
course, as a slave. Here he es-
caped his slave trader and be-
came a mystery. His captom
sold him again, and so far as
known “The Wild Man of the
Navidad” died in 1884, working
for a Mexican rancher on the
San Antonio River.
