The United States has noth-
ing to fear and considerable to
gain from the European Com-
mon Market, Dr. James Kirby,
head of the extension market-
ing department at Texas A. &
M. College, told the Rotary
Club Thursday.
The common market is just
beginning and the people of
Europe lack many things which
are common in the United
States and which can be pro-
duced for them here, he said.
“They have the manpower
and the know-how, but they
lack many things,” he added.
"They have to reach out and
trade. Let’s look at it as a chal-
lenge that we can meet if we
adjust ourselves to it.”
,,U. $. Prim* Example
Dr. Kirby defined a common
market as an area in which
commerce can be carried on
without any restrictions such as
trade barriers. He said the
United States itself is the most
successful common market in
the world.
The speaker explained the
European Economic Commun-
ity, as the common market is
officially known, ,is composed
of six full members, Italy,
France, West Germany, Bel-
gium, Luxembourg and the
Netherlands, and one associate
member, Greece.
Britain’s application for full
membership recently was re-
jected due to pressure from
France. Portugal, Spain, Aus-
tria, Sweden and Switzerland
have applied for associate mem-
bership.
Dr. Kirby said the European
common market had about
449,000 miles of territory, a
population of 169 million peo-

Former Citizen
Dies in Houston.
Final rites were held in
Houston Thursday for Mrs.
George Langdon, who died
Tuesday. She was a native of
Hopkins County, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Edmond-
son.
Survivors include her hus-
band, three sisters, Mrs. Bay-
less Evans and Mrs. Sid Palm-
er, both of Sulphur Springs,
and Mrs. Hallie McDonald of
Kansas City, and a brother,
Minor Edmondson.
Mr. and Mrs. Evans and Mrs.

the funeral.

The United States, by way
of comparison, has some
3,600,000 square miles of
area, a population of 181 mil-
lion, 72 million workers and
an unemployment rate of
more than 4 per cent.
The speaker explained the
common market is administer-
ed through a federal type sys-
tem which includes three ex-
ecutive agencies, a parliament
of 142 member* from the par-
ticipating countries and a
Court of Justice whose deci-
sions are binding on all con-
cerned.
The executive agencies are
the European Steel and Coal
Community, th« European
Economic Commission and
Euratom, which aims to chan-
nel nuclear resources into
commercial uses.
Dr. Kirby termed it amaz-
ing that nations which have
fought each other for cen-
turies are now giving up po-
litical and economic sover-
eignty and joining in a com-
mon community.
Basic Purpose* Named
He described the basic pur-
poses of the organization as
to end conflicts, to restore the
importance of Europe in world
trade and world affairs, to
raise the standard of living,
to abolish trade barriers and
to encourage the mass produc-
tion technique in industry.
Dr. Kirby stressed that the
world is in an era of dynamic
change and that fluid adjust-
ment to new conditions is es-
sential to success.
He said Texas A. & M. Col-
lege, like other schools, is
emphasizing a program of ex-
cellence to meet the new chal-
lenges of the times.
County Agent Paul Hersch-
ler was program chairman for
the meeting.
problems of today’s world. Here
was a chance to say there are
commercial* better than the
Beverly Hillbillies. Here was a
chance to make predictions.
And in one word all those
chances went winging away.
I tried to regroup.
“What i* the nature of the
survey?” I asked the bell ring-
er.
Bell ringer replied that if I
didn’t have two minutes it
would be better to forget the
whole thing.
Oh shame! I hoped as he
walked away that I hadn’t spoil-
ed his nation-wide sample. Na-
tion-wide sampling is a very
precise matter, you know, with
not just anybody eligible to
participate.
But what I regretted most
was that I never did learn what
bell ringer was selling.

YOUR FAIR SHARE...
Most Texans, we believe, are fair-minded folk*.
They believe in fair play, square dealing, and mutual
respect for personal end property rights. Those who
want to take advantege of their neighbors are the ex-
ception.
-Sometime* it may be hard to define "a fair ahare.”
This can occur in dividing oil or gas production, when
two or more landowners are involved.
As we all know, oil and gas don’t pay any attention
to fence lines.
Here ie Texas aaay wella have been allowed to pro-
duce more oil or gas than tjjey should have because they
were drilled on very small tracts. That extra oil or gat
came from under the neighbors’ land.
Some oilmen made a regular practice of this type of op-
eration. Obviously, one owner got more than his fair
share—others, less.
People in 26 out of 29 oil-producing states have found
a way to divide their oil and gas so that each owner
geta what is rightfully hit. They simply put their small
acreage together and ahare the costs and income. Thj^O
system is known as POOLING.
Such a system is nooded in Texas. It is proposed is
a bill now before the Legislature, HOUSE BILL 510.
When the neighbors cannot agree, the Railroad Com-
mission would set up a drilling block and see to it that
the rights of all owners are protected ... all costs and
proceeds equitably divided.
Oilmen who have made fortunes St the expense of oth-
ers could not be expected to support House Bill SIS.
They are bitterly opposing it. But the responsible oil-
men of Texas are overwhelmingly for it. So are the in-
formed citisens who want to see justice done.
Ask your Senator and Representative at Auitin to tup>
port House Bill 510—so Texas, too, will have a reason-
able and legal way to assure to each landowner his FAIR
SHARE.
