NO PUZZLE FOB THIS
SMEAHOLO SUFNETOI
W. N. Whitton returned last
week from San Augustine
county, where he spent) several
days on a land surveying job.
After a week spent in travers-
ing land lines and the mean-
ders of San Augustine county
streams, this gentleman, with
whom his 91 years of age have
dealt kindly, retnrns to his
home in Timpson, to await the
next call for his experienced
and efficient service in a work
wherein metes and bounds and
links, varas and rods have long
ceased to be technical names,
bnt only a part of ancthei1
day’s work.
The task of this well known
surveyor, we understand, was
a simple matter of locating or
re-establishing land lines pre-
sumably run by a Spanish sur-
veyor well past a century ago
—or probably in the year 1823
The basis or starting point,
was obtained through a trans-
lated copy from Austin of an
old Spanish deed.
After working from Tuesday
to Saturday inclusive, this 91-
year-old man completed his
week’s work, by sketching
plots of findings.

believed to have originated in
the heating plant caused dam-
age estimated at $5,000 to the
new $25,000 Salem school

the fire under control in 30
minutes. The hose line was
laid from a pump engine to a
slush pit 100 yards from the
building, as Salem has no
municipal water system.

of the gymnasium was only
slightly damaged by smoke.

Austin, Tex., Jan. 31. (UP)
—Advocates of a one-body
Legislature found argument
for their proposal in the bulky
journals of the 45th Texas leg-
islature recently completed.
House and Senate journals for
the regular session totaled 6,-
441 pages, law-book size, and
comprised the biggest journals
of any legislative session.
Printers and bookbinders
still are at work on journals of
the two special sessions which
were held after the regular
session.
The House journal is larger
than the Senate journal. It
numbers 3,984 pages and had
to be bound in two volumes.
The Senate’s 2,457 pages were
squeezed into one hook.
Immensity of the journals
was traceable, in part, to the
immense number of bills offer-
ed at the session. These total-
ed approximately 1,700. Of
these, 527 passed both House
and Senate. Twenty-two of
the 527 were vetoed by the
Governor.
Calls for record votes length-
en the journals.

Longview, Jan- 81.—Forest
protection and proper prac-
tices along with adjusted
freight rates and reduced taxa-
tion on timber lands were ob-
jectives outlined to be sought
by the East Texas Chamber of
Commerce Forestry Commit-
tee meeting in Trinity last Fri-
day.
Improvement of conditions
within industry through coop-
erative effort rather than gov-
ernment ’ regulation, waa rec-
ommended by Chairman Paul
T. Sanderson.
E. O. Siecke, director cf the
Texas Forest Service, empha-
sized the need for an extensive
educational campaign to make
all people in the timber belt
“forestry conscious.” Hubert
M. Harrison, vice president
and general manager of the
Etex chamber, promised the
cooperation of that organiza-
tion to impress the need and
then work for proper forestry
utilization practices.
The primary purpose served
by the meeting will be to in-
duce farmers to become aware
of the importance of growing
timber as a crop in East Texas.
The East Texas ChamLer of
Commerce in its educational
program will emphasize the
fact that growing timber is a
farm crop and should be so
classified for practical pur-
poses.

James V. Allred was presented
with a replica of the peak.
Some one offered to take it to
his hotel from the banquet,

sive as the real peak. At latest
report it was decorating an
Austin bar.

DO BANK EXAMINERS EXAMINE
YOURBANK?
Yes, bank examiners visit our bank periodical-
ly and go over our records.
These government officials are representa-
tives of the State or Federal banking authori-
ties. Every incorporated bank in the United
States chartered to conduct a banking business
is thus examined.
They are visited without advance warning
and the examiners have immediate access to aU
of the bank's cash, securities, books and rec-
ords. They report st considerable length on the
bank’s assets, liabilities, methods, policies,
loans, investments and other factors which de-
termine its soundness.
On the basis of the reports of these examin-
ers banking authorities are able to make any
suggestions or recommendations they feel are
necessary or desirable.
Bank examiners are an added safeguard for
depositors’ money—in addition to competent
and sound banking practices.
