Carson county has gone a long way from
the depression days when the going ^price
for farm land was $25 to $30 an acre.
Despite our di^uth years, the farm values
tend to climb, showing firm confidence in
Carson county.
IMPROVING PANHANDLE
A public forum was held the other night
under the auspices of the Fine Arts Club.
There was a discussion of improvements
that Panhandle needed.
There was a further discussion of ways
to handle promotion of improvements.
Considerable time was taken up with the
discussion of a community council to have
representatives from various interested
organizations.
Many worthwhile projects can be put
pver in Panhandle with the leadership.
Among the subjects discussecf were recrea-
tion for teenagers and adults, improvement
of Paul Park and the tract of land south of
the swimming pool, curbs and gutters.
Panhandle needs many improvements.
The Board of City Development, city
council, school board and county com-
missioners probably would like Increased
interest shown by* the citizenship in,com-
munity projects.
The persons chosen for leadership in
these public and official activities should
welcome suggestions such as were brought
put at the forum the other night.
FARM LAND VALUES HIGH
Farm products are selling 5 per cent
under a year ago, but land prices are
averaging 5 per cent over July 1, 1954.
There has been an average land increase
of 3 per cent since March 1.
This is the national picture and it shows
there is confidence in the long range for
agriculture.
Reasons for the strong farm land prices
are:
1. Strong demand for more land to en-
large existing farms so that mechanization
DREARY FOOTBALL WEEK-ENDS
The Herald Editor has had a couple of
dreary football week-ends with so' many
of his favorite teams losing games.
Two .week-end losers are Panhandle
High School, University of Texas and Uni-
versity of Missouri. Panhandle has won
two out of six games, Texas one out of
five and Missouri none.
With a football season there is always
hope that there will be a change for the
better next week-end.
A couple of weeks ago The Herald
Editor was in Dallas attending the State
Fair and watching Missouri lose to South-
ern Methodist University one night and
Texas to Oklahoma the following after-
noon.
One doesn’t like to see or to read about
favorite teams losing, but it is part of
athletics. Few teams can win many foot-
ball games successfully like the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma, which has a record
approaching three complete seasons.
DAYLIGHT FOOTBALL
The homecoming football game between
Panhandle and Stinnett was much more
enjoyable to The Herald Editor because
it was played during the day.
Prograss the past 20 years has demand-
ed night football, but there is nothing that
makes the game after night enjoyable.
Some persons may be able to attend night
games and they do not interfere with
school so much.
When day time football was the custom,
most games were played Friday after-
noons. School usually was in a ‘ turmoil
Friday afternoons during the football
season.
In an area as cool as the Panhandle,
there is not the need for night football
as there is in the sultry areas of Texas.
Give us more daylight football for old
fashioned fans to enjoy.

CEMENT STOCKS ARE PROFITABLE
For the first time in 20 years, Texans are given the opportunity of
purchasing shares in a cement plant in the Lone Star State.
Texas Portland Cement Company is building a 1500-barrel a day plant
at Orange, Texas, in the great Gulf Coast industrial market.
In the two months that this stock has been offered to the public, more
than 4,000 Texans have purchased over 240,000 shares at $5.00 per
share (no par-non assessable).
We heartily recommend this stock, with its great potential /or stock
appreciation and growth, for your consideration. Because of the great
emand for cement now, the building boom now and in the foreseeable
future, all cement stocks are profitable to the . purchasers.

City Health Programs Keep Pace
With America’s Growing Familiesl
1948 CHILDREN WILL LIVE LONGER AND HAPPIER
AS HEALTH PROGRAMS KEEP PACE WITH
AMERICA’S GROWING FAMILIES.
1955
United States government fig-
ures for the past seven years
show the number of American
families having three or more
children has gone up more than
47 per cent since 1948.
It is estimated that the popu-
lation of this country by 1960 will
be 176,000,000. People today live
longer; a child born since 1950
enjoys an average life expectan-
cy of 68 years, as compared with
only 47 years in 1900.
This remarkable population
growth would have caused seri-
ous health problems had it not
been for the farsightedness and
ability of our nation’s public
health and sanitation officials,
The Sanitary Engineering Com-
mittee reports.
Many factors have contributed
to our improved public health,1
but not has been more significant
than our municipal sanitation
successes. Thousands of miles of
underground clay pipe mains car-
ry wastes from homes and com-
munity centers. Vitrified clay
pipe is recognized as the one
material that provides ail the
qualities necessary to satisfy the
exacting demands of sanitary
structures. Clay pipe resists all
the effects of acids and other
caustic substances that are found
in sewer systems.
Modern sanitary systems con-
structed of clay pipe play an
everyday role as guardian of the
health of the people. They are
one of the city’s lifelines, carry-
ing a.way deadly wastes, and ad-
vancing Public Health,—so vital
to every American.
Public Health is America’s first
line of Defense.
