NOW & THEN

Fire Department, both of
which, fortuantely, pretty
well run themselves.
We'd like to quote from
an editorial In Progressive
Farmer In closing:
"A new “virus” is sweep-
ing the nation. For want of a
better word, we'll call it ra-
dicalism. Those who spread
this “virus” hope to gain
attention and power by creat-
ing distrust and hatred be-
tween groups and Indivi-
duals. After infection, once
stable - thinking, logically-
minded Individuals will re-
sort to ridicule and name
calling. They become “anti”
minded, and are against
everyone who doesn't share
their opinions.
“To these individuals the
rights of others mean
nothing. They hide the truth
in a smoke screen of loud
and ugly words. Their pur-
pose is not to promote the
public welfare, but to create
hatred and mistrust.
“One doesn’t have to look
far to see symptoms of this
“virus.” It is easily recog-
nized in wage disputes be-
tween labor and manage-
ment. It has spread like
a prairie fire fanned by
strong wind in the field of
civil rights and race rela-
tions. And, you can find it
in business and agricultural
groups.
“One of the first symp-
toms you notice in people
infected with this “virus”
is that they are easily
excited. Immediately they
see themselves as mis-
treated individuals. And al-
ways standing by is some-
one willing and anxious to
tell them who is mistreat-
ing them. This fans the flame
of hatred that has already
GARRETT BROTHERS WIN
Young Rusty Garrett join-
ed his two brothers in the
winner class by placing
fourth in the pole bending
at Saturday's Ride-0-Ram a.
Roger Garrett won the first
place in pole bending and
Butch Garrett placed second
in the stake race and the
barrel race. Their father,
Edwin Garrett, tied for sec-
ond in the ring race. Ricky
Harbison placed fourth in
barrels.
Visiting in the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lang-
ford is their daughter, Mrs.
Robert Wear and son, Tom-
my, of Monahans, Tex.
As a boy I was told any-
body could become President
(I'm beginning to believe
it.)
been kindled in their minds.
“This undermining “dis-
ease” is literally wreck-
ing communities and weak-
ening our nation. Strength
comes from unity and a will-
ingness to work together
shoulder to shoulder; not
by pitting one group against
another.
“Unless steps are taken
to counteract the radicals of
both the right and left who
are peddling hate and mis-
trust everywhere they go,
our nation will be in great
danger.
“The situation presents a
challenge to each of us who
respects the rights of others.
The uninformed need to be
vaccinated with facts and
immunized against hatred
and name calling. In short,
we urge the use of reason
and truth, not abuse, in poli-
tical campaigning, labor dis-
putes, selling, legislation,
and above all, when dealing
with racial problems.”
BANKING
(Continued from Page 1)
the building of the new civic
center.
Collier explained that the
addition of the new equipment
and the construction of the
new banking facility will only
serve to create a greater
atmosphere of service for
mid-Valley residents. “We
are dedicated to serving our
community,” said Collier,
“and we believe these
major steps forward will
give us opportunities for
greater service in the fu-
ture.
Death Claims
Carl R. Hale
Carl Ray Hale, 69, died
in a San Benito hospital
Thursday night.
He was born in Huckaby,
Tex., Aug. 8, 1893, and had
lived in Weslaco from 1920
to 1936 when he left the Val-
ley and returned to Mer-
cedes a year ago to make
his residence. He was a
retired rancher and veteran
of World War I.
Funeral services were
held Saturday at the Stotler
Chapel with Wm. K, Cunning-
ham of the Church of Christ
of Weslaco officiating.
Burial was in Mercedes
Ebony Grove Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Carl Har-
bison, Harold Harrison,
R. E. Gary, F. T. Davidson,
Norman Davidson and Ray
Dyer.
He is survived by his wife
Ruth E. Hale of Mercedes; a
son, Charlie Hale of Fort
Worth; and three sisters,
Mrs. J. K. Davidson, Nash-
ville, Ark., Mrs. George
Simmons, Amarillo, and
Mrs. Paul Lofton, Austin.
Dead End* Everyone has felt lost or trapped
at one time or another. Today’s world rushes along
at such a rapid pace that it’s easy to lose your footing
and just be swept blindly along. And the first thing
you know, you aren’t leading your life, it’s leading you!
From faith in God ... faith in yourself
When you've lost your bearings, religion can be
the guidepost that helps you find your way again.
Each week step out of the breathless everyday
hustle and bustle and seek truth and guidance at
your place of worship. Discover the great satisfac-
tion and security of having a sure sense of
direction. Don’t just accept each new day—
learn to welcome it! Worship—together—this
week at your church or synagogue!

Lee Remick
. .. cool
and composed
A CADEMY AWARD nominee Lee Remick is a cool,
f\ composed young lady who has won her way to
stardom’s highest plateau because of strong convic-
tions concerning her work and her approach
to it. “What the audience sees is, in a sense,
the sum of everything’ you’ve done in your
life,” Lee says. “I don’t mean whether or not
you are a good person; it’s more subtle than
that. No matter what anyone says, I don’t
think an actor ever submerges his person-
ality completely in the role he is playing. 1
don’t think acting can be taught either. You
can refine the natural talent you have with
work and study, but if you haven’t got it to
begin with you’ll never get it.”
★ ★ ★
Tough exams can be easy? Sure — if the
grade doesn’t count against you and if you
get paid for taking it. That’s the opinion of
New Jersey teens who take “sample” tests
that will latdr be used .for other students if the results prove
that the tests will work under realistic conditions ... Student-
faculty basketball games have long been popular throughout
the nation, but Eugene High School in Eugene, Oregon, has
gone the tradition one better — all the players were mounted
on donkeys — real, honest-to-goodness live
donkeys—and dribbling around on one of
them can be pretty awkward. (The teachers
won: four to two.) ...Are you having trou-
ble finding a hairdo that will flatter your
appearance? If so, find the facial shape that
matches your’s in the May “Seventeen” illus-
trated chart of perfect hairdos for particular
faces- * * *
People are always surprised that in spite
of Artur Rubinstein’s age he seems so young
and still enjoys playing the piano and giving
concerts. But it’s not surprising to Mr. Rubin-
stein. “I simply feel that way, that’s all,” he
says. “I live by one principle: enjoy life with no conditions!
People say, ‘If I had your money, oh, I would enjoy myself.’
It is not true. I would be happy if I were lying sick in a
hospital bed. It must come from inside. That is the one thing
I hope I have contributed to my children, by example and by
talk: to make no conditions, to understand that life is a won-
derful thing and to enjoy it, every day, to the full.”
