Paron, a small town of five hundred
population near Mineral Wells, was
practically wiped off the face of the
earth Tuesday night by a wind storm,
and the wonderful thing about it was
that not a ife was lost and but few
people hurt. This same storm came on
down south-east and did considerable
damage at Glen Rose and also hit
Morgan, but only slight damage was
reported at the latter place.
Now that much of the grain crop of
this section has been harvested, and
the wheat being exceptionally good,
the farmers are feeling happy over
the prospects of a good cotton, corn
and other row crops since the recent
very fine rains have soaked the
ground and. left plenty and possibly
some to spare in the way of mois-
ture; and no damage thus far has
been reported.
The people of Clifton and surround
ing territory do not require or even
want grocery stores or any other
places of business in our town to re-
main open on Sundays. Most people
do their buying of necessities on week
days in sufficient quantities to run
them through Sundays, and it is not
believed that the buying public wants
stores to remain open for business
reasons on Sundays.

a relatively new
manufacture and sale of trailers.
Although familiar to most Ameri-
cans, the growth of this industry has
been so fast and lusty since 1935 that
few realize how really large it has
become or how it has created new
and striking problems.
Figures available last week indi-
cated that there would be a probable
output of 200,000 trailers in 1937.
This estimate is far greater than the
approximate total of 60,000 manufac-
tured last year and 30,000 the year
before. Altogether, between 200 and
300 companies are engaged in mak-
ing these homes on wheels.
Ranging in prices from $400 to as
high as $3,500 apiece, trailers have
turned out to be something of a bus-
iness phenomenon. They have ap-
pealed especially to two groups—old
people retired on modest incomes and
young seasonal workers who move
about from one section of the coun-
try to the other. According to the
American Automobile Association
trailers now serve as homes for 1,000,-
000 persons for all or part of the
year. At present there are 250,000
such mobile houses registered, and
some observers of the trend predict
that 1,000,000 will eventually be on
the road. In line with this, several
statisticians have made the remark-
able estimate that within the next 20
or 30 years, 50 per cent of the
tion’s homes will be on wheels.
Although experts do not regard
the retailer as an ideal home arrange-
ment, they recognize it as a fairly
comfortable housing plan for small
families. Most trailers are made with
up-to-date kitchen equipment for
the “trailer wife,” suitable eating and
sleeping quarters, -and numerous
“living-room” conveniences.
Moving gypsy-like across the na-
tion, “trailerites” drive south in the
winter, north in the summer, and
from city to city the year around. At
this time, thousands of them have
set themselves up in trailer camps in
southern climes, notably Florida and
California. Having no legal residence,
they have created a problem for mu-
nicipal authorities. A few states, such
as Florida, have set up special resi-
dential trailer taxes, and other
quire special licenses.
From a legal standpoint, however,
because the trailer trend is so new,
these questions remain to be an-
swered: Where does a trailerite live?
Where-shall he vote? Where pay
taxes? Where send his children to
school? How be assessed for school
costs? The taxation question has
been tested only twice. In one case, a
court decided trailers could be taxed
only as automobiles or tangible per-
sonal property, not as houses. In the
other case, a court said they could be
taxed as houses.
Other problems involve regulation
of trailer camps by city ordinances,
and control of hygiene and sanita-
tion in trailer communities. Some cit-
ies have already acted to forbid park-
ing of trailers ” except in tourist
camps. Other cities, like Miami, Fla.,
have established their own trailer
sites, charging small parking fees. In
such instances, merchants have re
ported increased business from pur-
chases made by incoming visitors.
Real estate operators, seeing their
business endangered by homes on
wheels, have voiced opposition to
trailers. Hotels have also shown some
opposition, although their business in
resort sections does not seem to have
been affected by tourists who travel
with their own sleeping and eating
accomodations. Meanwhile, the bus-
iness of manufacturing trailers is ex-
periencing a substantial boom.—

Our National Congress seems to be
working slowly this term, and pos-
sibly the importance of the work re-
quires much deliberation—and it is
hinted that this session may con-
tinue right on through the year and
merge with the next session in Jan-
uary, 1938; however it is believed
that when the heat of that city,
not political heat either, begins to
reach its height, a decision to recess
or adjourn will be quickly agreed up-
on by a large majority of the law-
makers.
A SHOWER
A shower was given for Miss Aug-
usta Steinke on June 1, 1937 at the
Womack Sunday School hall by the
Sunday School teachers. As the
guests arrived they were served punch
and cookies by Misses Lorene Spitzer
and Talita Conrad. Miss Irene Conrad
received the gifts and Miss Pauline
Hafer presided over the bride’s book.
A while was enjoyed playing
“Pleased or Displeased” and each one
doing as they were told to do. Augus-
ta was asked to go to the kitchen to
wash the dishes that were stacked in
the dishpan. Intending to do as she
was told, she found many pretty
things to be used for housekeeping.
After admiring the gifts guests de-'
parted wishing Miss Steinke lots of
happiness. A Guest.
Dr. Townsend only wants “the peo-
