TODAY S SQUIB—We’d rathe-
er be able to appreciate things
wc cannot have than to have
things we are unable to apprec-
iate.
Don’t forget to stop at the new
stop signals which have just been
erected at various intersections in
town. It seems that North Pres-
ton Street has always had the
right-of-way. At least most cars
crossing that street have had to
slow down and wait for an opening
in traffic. The mayor has added
stop signs on some of the busier
crossings on Preston, especially
those where the view is not as
open. And then those who drive
on Preston Street will now have
to come to a stop when they
_ reach West Avenue, which of
'Jftturc, is a state Highway.
We should approach crossings
carefully but now wc should strict-
ly observe the stop signs for they
were erected for only one purpose
—safety.
We heard a new one this morn-
ing. When we picked up the tele-
phone to call a number the opera-
tor said “hello.” We will have to
admit we were a little befuzzled.
A. D. Leatherman, Soil Super-
visor of the Ennis Soil Conserva-
tion Office, was working on his
speech which he will make Thurs-
day at the Kiwanis Club. He
said he was not going to make a
speech but just a talk to the Ki-
wanians.
We still need more money for
the building of the bath houses at
the new Ennis swimming pool. The
Park and Recreation committee
needed approximately $3,000.00 for
this work and contributions re-
ceived to date are slightly less
Than half of this amount. The
committee instructed Mayor Brum-
back to* proceed with the work and
they would see that the necessary
money is raised. Work on the
foundation was started this morn-
ing so you who have not yet con-
tributed should send in your money
as soon as possible. Let’s see this
job through. The swimming pool
is a real asset to Ennis and we
should certainly lend our sup-
port toward getting it completed.
£end in your contribution whether
fareg-Zor small—it is needed.
F. L. Wadworth was on the way

to buy a gang a cup of coffee.
CoK Olin Teague
Ready To Assume
Job in Congress
When Congress convenes again
Col. Olin E. (Tiger) Teague, of
tfiryaij, one of Texas’ most decorat
ed war veterans, will limp -down
the isle to take his seat as the
congressional representative of the
Sixth Texas District.
Teague’s assumption of duties
will climax a series of battles he
has been fighting the past five
years—the war, six wounds which
threatened permanent disability
and more recently, a heated poli-
tical campaign.
He won out in all of them.
This hero of World War II suc-
ceeds Luther A. Johnson, who re-
signed to take a judgeship in the
U. S. Tax Court.
As Texas newest congressman,
Teague arrived in Washington
recently. He will fill Johnson’s
unexpired term, then begin his
full congressional term when the
next Congress meets.
In Washington, Teague visited
Walter Reed Army Hospital for a
final physical examination before
being separated from the service,
.league's political career began
mi a hospital bed at McCloskey
General Hospital last spring.
Friends asked him to make the
race for Congress but he declined
Later he changed his mind.
He placed second in the first
Democratic primary, about 2,400
votes behind Tom Tyson, of Corsi-
cana. Shortly after the run - off
campaign began, Tyson withdrew
from the race automatically giving
Teague the Democratic nomina-
tion.

Londony Sept. 10 (UP)—Prime
Minister Clement Attlee warned
.today in an address opening the
i Palestine conference that the cur-
rent state of “unrest and disturb-
ance,” in the Holy Land cannot be
permitted to continue.
Jerusalem, Sept. 10 (UP)—British
troops enforced a curfew in Tel
Aviv and made a mass search for
extremists in nearby Ramat-Gan
today as six explosions farther up
the coast marked the third day of
renewed Holy Land violence.

“THIS MUST NOT HAPPPEN AGAIN”-~MAYOR WARNS POWER UNION—“This
must not happen again,” Mayor David Lawrence told a five-man Union group in a
conference at Pittsburgh, Pa., as he pointed to a picture in the Pittsburgh Press of an
eight-year-old girl, injured in the first accident due to the impending strike.
Washington, Sept. 10 (UP)—The
OPA today removed price controls
from a number of items including
motorcycles and ten ton trucks.
Other items recontrollcd were
motorcycle parts, motor toboggans,
racing car tires and tubes, casein
plastic products, miscellaneous
papers and paper products includ-
ing milk bottle caps and luggage
made of paperboard.
Jews of Tel Aviv Placed
Under House Arrest Now
Retail Meat
Prices Back
Under OPA
Washington, Sept. 10. (U.P.)—Re-
tail meat prices went back under
OPA ceilings today, and house-
wives were told that gloomy pre-
dictions of a grave new meat fa-
mine may well be “overly pessi-
mistic.”
OPA’s new ceilings reduced meat
prices from their recent levels,
but averaged 3 3-4 cents a pound
higher than the ceiling on June
30, when controls lapsed.
The 3 3-4 cent increase means
housewives will pay more than $600,
000,000 more for meat a year than
under June 30 prices.
A total of 267 cuts of beef, pork,
Lamb and mutton were covered by I
the new price ceilings. OPA has
taken no action yet on putting new
ceilings on meat dishes served by
restarurants.
Many butcher shops greeted the
first day of the new ceilings with
little meat on their counters. It
was the result of heavy buying by
housewives in anticipation of
dwinwling supplies with the return
of price control.
Government officials admitted
frankly that meat would be scarce
for a month or so. But one agri
culture department official said
gloomy predictions of a famine
“may be possibly over pessimistic”
because it is too early to know
haw severe the shortage will be.
At any 'rate, the government is
not thinking about restoring meat
rationing.

Jerusalem, Sept. 10. (U.P.)—The
250.000 Jews of Tel Aviv and two
nearby townships were placed under
“house arrest” today when British
troops followed the trail of ex-
tremists into that area.
A British sergeant was killed
when troops of the King’s own
Hussars were caught in a machin-
gun ambush one mile south of Ras
El Ein.
His death brought to six
number of fatalities in three days
of renewed Holy Land violence.
As an aftermath of last night’s
raids on Tel Aviv mines were found
today on the main roads leading
out of Tel Aviv. They had been
placed there to facilitate the es-
cape of extremists who last night
occupied the largest quarter of the
city for nearly two hours.
In that time they blew up the
public information center and the
home of the British security of-
ficer, Maj. Desmond Doran, kill-
ing the officer.
Two other British soldiers and
two Arabs, one a constable, also
were killed.
Cigar-shaped mines were found
on all main roads today and a
soldier was injured seriously when
one exploded.
The“house arrest” quarantined
250.000 Jews in Tel Aviv itself and
the townships of Ramat-Gan and
Petakhitqva.

turn out in comparatively large
numbers in November to reject
what he called the republican

Paris, Sept. 10. (U.P.)—The Peace
Conference launched a speed-up
the .procedure today designed to com-
plete the treaties for Italy, Bul-
garia, Hungary, Romania and Fin-
land before the proposed Oct. 23
deadline for the meeting of the
United .Nations General Assembly.
The commissions which are draft-
ing the treaties fixed Oct. 5 as the
date in which they would com-
plete their work and turn over re-
commended versions to the plenary
21-nation conference.
It was hoped tnat all major dif-
ferences wpuld be ironed out in the
commissions so that the conference
could turn over its final recom-
mendations within the 18 days be-
tween Oct. 5 and the Oct. 23 open-
ing date for the UN.
First speed-up moves came in the
Italian political commission where
the United States withdrew its
proposals for specific boundaries
between Italy and Yugoslavia and
between Italy and Trieste.
The Italian commission then ap-
pointed a special eight-nation sub
committee to prepare from four
alternative drafts a statute for the
proposed free territory of Trieste.
Russia also made plain that she
will stick to the big lour agreement
on Triestp despite Yugoslav efforts
to alter the plan.

Red Assault On
Balban Policy
May Backfire
Lake Success, N. Y., Sept. 10,
(U.P.)—Soviet Russia’s diplomatic
assault on Greek and British poli-
cy in the Balkans threatened to
backfire today in the United Na-
tions Security Council.
Soviet Delegrate Andrei A. Gro-
j myko found himself more a de-
fendant than a prosecutor as he
sought a showdown on Ukrainian
allegations that Greece, • abetted
by Britain, threatened peace in the
Balkans and should be stopped by
the UN.
The Western Powers planned to
squelch the charges and turn the
council debate into an overall dis
cussion of policy in all the Balkans,
a region dominated by the Soviet
Union except for Greece.
American delegate Herchel V.
Johnson and Australian delegate
Paul Hasluck unveiled the strategy
yesterday in strikingly sipiilar de-
mands that the council brush
aside the Ukrainian complaint be-
cause, they contended, neither the
Ukraine, Russia nor Albania had
proved a single one of their many
allegations against Greece and Bri-
tain.
Johnson said caustically that the
United States considered the pre-
sence of British forces in 'Greece
“A stabilizing factor’ ’n the pe-
renniially explosive Balkans political
scheme.

Work Begins on
Foundation For
Bath Houses
Work on laying the foundation
for the bath house at the swim-
ming pool has been begun. The
overall size of the bath house will
be 20 by 60 fe^t.
The new buildings under con-
struction are a concession stand
which also houses the clothes
lockers, a ladies’ bath house on
one side and a gentleman’s bath
house on the other. Separating
the bath houses and the concession
stand will be an eight foot con-
concrete walk.
Mayor Brumback stated that $1,-
500 had been spent for the lot and
old pool, and to date the new
pool has cost $5500. The bath
houses are expected to cost an
additional $3000. The swimming
Pool Building Fund Committee has
on hand $1500 to begin work on
tht bath houses. The committee
will have raised the remainder of
the fund in the very near future.

JAPANESE MINES MENACE
WEST COAST SHIPPING
San Diego, Calif. (U.P.) —Un-

constitute a menace to west coast
shipping for several more years,
according to the United States
Coast Guard.:
The cutter Perseus recently sank
a mine, found floating in the
ocean 45 miles south of here. Coast
guardsmen said* there are about
40,000 Japanese mines unaccounted
for and that when a mine breaks

the current automatically carries
it this way.

Fire Department Adds
New Emergency Truck
The City of : Ennis i has a new
emergency fire* truck which has
just bean added to the Fire De-
partment. This emergency truck
is ready for operation and will be
in service immediately although
at present the siren has not been
installed. ■ - '
•However it is painted a bright
firetruck red.
Tlie procurement of the new,
fast emergency truck will enable
the fire .department to be at the
scene of the ^fife within five min-:
utes I’egardless of location. Its
purpose is to begin combating the
fire before,the bigger trucks have
time to reach the scene and hook
up the hoses.
The truck has a big fire extin-
guisher with which to fight fires
before they spread. It also has a
water tank of 250 gallons capacity
and a high pressure pump to com-
bat larger fires.
Mayor Brumback stater that this
new emergency truck will enable
the firemen to reach the fire
much earlier, and thus in many
cases the fire can be brought und-
ei control before serious damage
occurs. The Mayor estimates that
95 per cent of the fires can be
controlled by the emergency truck
alone.
An another advantage of having
the addition to the Fire Depart-
ment, according to Mayor Brum-
back, is that it will entitle Ennis
to a reduction in Fire Insurance
rates.
The Mayor asks the cooperation
of the citizens in combating fires.
Many citizens rush to the scene
of the fire when they hear the
alarm and Mayor Brumback warns
them against parking within 300
yards of the fire. Cooperation in
this matter will enable the firemen
to perform their services more ef-
ficiently;'
to be a complete loss. The build-
i ing which houses the cafe, also
housese d. J. R. Gills’ Optometry
office and Thompson’s Bdrber
£hop, the latter two being dam-
aged considerably, also, chiefly by
water and smoke.
The building in which the three
business concerns were located is
the property of J. F. Saxon. Much
damage was done to the building,
also. The roof of the cafe section
caved in but the firemen escaped
without injury, one fireman crowl-
ing out as the roof fell.
The cafe, which closes on Sun-
day afternoons had been closed
about forty-five minutes or an
hour, it was stated, and it had
been that long since anybody had
been there.
The fire was thought to have
originated in the kitchen but the
cafe was so badly burned that it
was impossible to \ determine the
cause of the fire, it was reported.
Joe Thompson’s Barber Shop
had just been repainted and re-
fmished, the work being com-
pleted last week, and now the
floors are buckling and the ceil-
ing drooping and the walls and
mirrors are damaged consider-
ably by the smoke, and the lin-
leum ruined, Mr. Thompson
stated.
Dr. Gill’s office was damaged
the same way, only to a greater
degree, as it adjacent to the
cafe.
Mr. Dehman’s Cafe was a total
loss and the building in which it
is located was damaged to a great
extent and will practically have
to be rebuilt, Mr. Saxon, the own-
er, stated.
The building in which the other
two businesses are housed will
probably require several thousand
dollars of repair, Mr. Saxon said.
Losses were parly insured. Esti-
mates had ne been completed.
A check-up has been made on
child welfare work and rehabili-
tation' work in Ennis by Mrs. Robert
Floyd and Mrs. J. C. Rooker, co-
chairmen of the American Legion
Auxiliary for this work, and the
report revealed that delinquency
is on decrease in Ennis. Rehabili-
tation work for servicemen and
their families has not been neces-
sary to date, but this auxiliary an-
nounces that it is ready and pre-
pared to help whenever this help
is needed. There were fewer, cases
of delinquency reported this year.
City and County juvenile workers
count the home the chief factor in
preventing delinquencey, but it is
a knokn fact that programs spon-
schools and other organizations
are doing their part in developing
children.
Each group has a part in char-
acter-building and happiness of
boys and girls.
Almost every church has its
youth program. Many a young
person is brought into the church
for tile social as well as the re-
ligious life.
Our schools, with clubs, sports,
music, programs keep young peo-
ple busy.
US Opposes Red
Demand for Quota
Troops Overseas
Washington, Sept. 10, (U.P)—The
United States flatly will oppose
Russia’s demand that all nations
make public the exact size of their
troop dispostions in foreign coun-
tries, it was learned today.
Informed officials said the gov-
ernment was ready to exert all
efforts to block the Soviet proposal
even at the cost of further strain-
ing relations with Russia.
The Soviet* proposal was announc-
ed recently by Russia’s UN dele-
gate Andrei A. Gromyko, who asked
that all nations be given a two
week period to report their troop
dispositions in all countries except
former eneniy states. '*
If adopted, the plan would force
the United states to tell the exact
number of marines and GI’s in
China and compel Britain io re-
veal her strength in Greece.
Four Pickets

arrest came Monday night after
the issuance of a court order claim-

of a temporary court order issued
last week.
