Senator Lovelady
Reports Progress
Of Legislature
By Senator Karl L. Lovelady
The forty-eighth legislature will
come to a close one week from
today. A legislature with a mem-
bership who seem to be aware of
the tremendous struggle we are
now in. Not only our lives here
but all our lives have come closer
together, as Texans, as a Nation,
yes, individually. . .as human be-
ings. . .as men with work to do. . .
as a people with responsibilities to
shoulder and these responsibilities
to discharge, all of which has
greatly increased our legislative
work.
There are so many things I want
to write about our activity here,
but space will not permit. How-
ever, I do want to tell my people
about our conclusions in regard
to education of our youths.
We have approved for our school
children a per capita tax of $25.00.
This is an increase of $2.50 over
our present allotment. Rural Aid
will continue with our increase in
appropriation, and as a member of
he Sub-Committee on rural _ aid
^e have written into the Bill a
10.00 salary increase per month
ar all rural school teachers,
rom records available here, very
ew teachers in the Twenty-first
enatorial District will not be in-
luded in the provisions of the bill.
It has been a difficult duty as a
lember of Sub-Committee on
igher education, to reduce the
ppropriations for the various col-
jges and universities. All indi-
ations point to small enrollment
or the duration, and cuts had to
e made in these institutions as
rell as many departments, bureaus
nd commissions. It was by a
lajority vote that reductions be
lade where it would hurt the
iast.
One should never, as a voting
lember, ever lose sight of the tax
ayer’s ability to pay, and the re-
uctions in appropriations for the
ext two years as compared to the
ist two years will be near $12,-
00,000._ ___

Somewhere on the high seas,
me of the last of the four masted
iteel sailing vessels is enroute to
Lisbon, Portugal, with a cargo of
204,000 prisoners of war food par-
:els—more than 800 tons of rich-
n-vitamins food for U. S. and
Ulied captives behind the barbed .
vire enclosures of enemy prison J
:amps.
From Portugal, the packages,
vill be reshipped to Geneva, Swit- j
serland, from which point they,
vill be distributed by the Inter-1
lational Red Cross Committee to ,
grateful recipients who each week
'eceive one of the 11 pound pack-
ages.
Contents of the parcels have
been designed by American Red
Cross nutritionists to get the most
food into the smallest package—
food which will offset the vitamin
deficiency of prison fare, and pre-
vent occurrence of deficiency dis-
eases such as scurvy, beri-beri,
pellagra and nutritional anemia.
Transportation has been the
greatest problem in the American
Red Cross prisoner of war food
parcel program. Ships of neutral
registry have always been used,
but their availability has become
scarce—especially for Atlantic
crossings. A partial solution to
this problem has been reached in
the organization of a subsidiary
of the International Committee—
“The Foundation for Red Cross
Transport.” The ships will fly the
Swiss Flag—a white cross on a
field of red. On the sides of the
ship, the Red Cross emblem, a re-
verse of the Swiss flag—Red
Cross on a white field—will be
prominently painted.

No, It Won’t Happen Again
Here’s an unusual occurence:
Last Friday, T. L. Tarver, local
grocer, placed several items of
food in a paper sack for a custom-
er. Later he discovered that a
paper sack containing $240.00 in
cureency, also a check for $30.00,
was missing from underneath his
counter. He began an investiga-
tion immediately, but was unable
to locate anyone who could ans-
wer the “$270 Question.”
While attending church service
Sunday, Mrs. L. B. Mickey of this
community, overheard a remark
concerning Mr. Tarver’s loss. She
had made a purchase at this store
on Friday, and upon returning
home Sunday located in some rub-
bish the paper sack she received
at the Tarver store, and upon ex-
amination found it contained the
“folding money” and check, all in
first class condition. Mrs. Mickey
returned the currency and check
to Mr. Tarver, and was he happy,
oh boy, he was sure happy.
