THE BANDERA BULLETIN
PAGE THREE
came ludicrous in California where
two-thirds of all their talk cen-
tered on that subject. But then
came the Nation’s two best 'Negro
vote-getters, namely, Eleanor and
Helen Gahagan Douglas, both ral-
lying to Stevenson’s side in a major
flare for the favor of the million
colored people in California. And
that turned the trick.

Up from Lampasas last week
came Aston Cole to receive from
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
i • t I » Superior Service Award for the
_’ ,«f«i good work he has done in a 3-
county area for the Farmers Home
Administration. His son, Jimmy,
came along.
Other visitors included W. A.
Agnell, President of the San An-
gelo Rotary Club, en route home
from the convention in Priladel-
phia. I
Going down the home stretch,
the House last week tackled the
annual foreign aid bill, insisted
on a $1 billion cut, and postponed
final action until early this week.
The target date for adjournment
has been set at July 10 by the
leadership, hut if history repeats
it \ftill probably go another week
or two.
The big conventions coming up
in August account for this inter-
est in early adjournment this year.
There’s a lot of top-level maneuv-
ering by t£e party chiefs. The ' sible for a retired worker to re-

JUNE 21 SET FOR VISIT
OF JOHN POWERS
Your social security representa-
tive, John Powers, will be in Ban-
dera, at the County Judge Office,
on Thursday, June 21, 1956, at.
9:00 a.m., according to John D.
Palmer, District Manager of the
San Antonio office of the Social
Security Administration.
Mr. Palmer stated that it is pos-
do the other in attempts to snare
the Negro vote.
With some straws indicating
some of the colored clan scamper-
ing over to the Republican camp,
the Republicans are really getting
excited about it. Just like old
times. And that makes the Demo-
crats very unhappy because they’ve
had that minority bloc pretty well
sewed up since FDR and Eleanor
pulled them over. Democratic big-
wigs count heavily on Eleanor to
do it again.
In the meantime, here in Con-
gress the battle goes on—the bat-
tle, that is, over who can out-
promise the other. The GOP jump-
ed ahead a few paces with a civil
rights bill never before equalled,
while the Democratic counter-
parts complain the Republicans
have jumped on something the
Democrats were thinking about all
the time.
A pre-view of that major battle
The Board of Supervisors of the
Bandera Soil Conservation District
held their monthly meeting at 2
p.m., on June 6. O. B. Harkey of
San Saha was present at the meet-
ing. Mr. Harkey is a director of
the Association- of Texas Soil Con-
servation Districts of which the
local district is a member. Mr.
Harkey discussed various phases
of the State Association’s work
with the Board. Members present
at this meeting were D. W. Hicks,
A. H. Schott, Lee Mansfield, and
Ad Flowers.

Ben Johnson has recently com-
pleted construction of'an earthen
dam on his place above Medina.
The site required only a small
dam, but will provide a large res-
ervoir for water storage. A spring
upstream from the dam will pro-
vide for the reservoir, in addition
to the runoff from the drainage
area above the dam. This dam
and reservoir will provide a much
needed source of livestock water

Report comes from Boerne that
old Andy Potter, the champion

Old Settlers’ Reunion July 4th to
demonstrate to the world that he
is the champion pie-eater of the
Hill Country. Since Charlie Eek-
