Canada Welcomed
President Truman
In an historic appearance be-
fore the Canadian Parliament last
week, President Truman made a
bid for Canadian support of
American foreien poliev.
“We count Canada in the fore-
front of those who share our ob-
jectives and ideals," Mr. Truman
declared. “We seek a peaceful
world, a prosperous world, a free
world, a world of good neighbors,
1* Vir ^
mutual respect, as Canada and
the United States have lived for
generations.” he said.
The welcome extended to the
President was most enthusiastic,
rivaling that which was given
King George and Queen Elizabeth
in 1939.
Axis Partner Treaties
Signed By President
Back at his desk after his three-
day Canadian visit, President
Truman signed the treaties of
peace with Italy, Hungary, Bul-
garia, and Romania, before turn-
ing his attention to other weighty
problems. He congratulated Italy
on having begun a new era in
its relations with the U.S. He
also pointed out that conditions
in the other countries are not to
the liking of democratic countries.
Mr. Truman had his message
to Congress on the subject of the
proposed income tax reduction
ready for delivery on Monday.
Within the next three weeks
Mr. Truman must make similar
decisions on rent control and wool
price support bills.
Marshall Plan For
Europe Clarified
. A clearer picture of the thtok-
ing behind Secretary of State
Marshall’s recent suggestion for
an economic union of European
states, was developing last week.
America was given about $13
billion in relief of one kind or
another to European nations. It’s
been^ handed out in pieces. It
hasn’t lteem’nough. Europe is in
bad shape, getting worse, needing
more help and plenty of it, soon.
The weaker the Europeans
grow, and the more the people
are filled with despair, the bet-
ter the chances for the Commu-
nists taking over. The American
government and Congress don’t
want that to happen. So Marshall
came up with his idea about the
European alliance. He admitted
to newsmen that he first got the
idea from Winston Churchill who
some time ago proposed a United
States of Europe, as a political
as well as a economic unit.
Marshall’s message to the
countries of Europe is something
like this: We are sympathetic
with your needs, we want to help
btu. you ought to get together
first and try to help yourselves,
then perhaps we can help you
more.
By letting the Europeans start
the thing, the United States can
say it is not attempting to dictate
to Europeans.
Marshall’s speech is an answer
to the Henry Wallace line of rea-
sonihg, which proposes that the
U.S. should operate a major re-
lief program for Europe.
Five Nations Are
Talking It Over
France has taken the first step
to put Marshall’s proposal in mo-
tion by asking Russia if she is
willing to discuss the projected
recovery plan. Foreign Minister
Bevin of Britain is in France
for consultations about a stronger
bond between the two countries
and he has given the Marshall
plan his approval. Holland, Bel-
gium and Luxemburg are in the
process of forming a customs
union, and have indicated they
would like to enter a 1 ger group
of nations.
New Super Weapon
Rumored To Exist
Rumors of a super weapon
which was under tost in New
Zealand when the war ended,
leaked out last week. It was said
to out-rival the atom bomb. A
39-year old American scientist,
J. H. Snodgrass of Cincinnati,
confirmed the existence of a re-
search project involving a secret
weapon, but declined to describe
it, other than to say it is not
connected with the atom bomb
and that it is not a biological
weapon.

ing played at the Athletic Park.
What will probably be” one of
the best games of the season will

league, Anderson's will meet the
second place team, Adair and
Hicks.
Tuesday night VFW, after fal-
tering for two games, finally
broke into the win column by
besting Stovall’s, 9-6, while Rat-
tan came from behind to trounce
Lake Creek 14-6.
In the Friday night game, Sto-
vall’s handed Adair and Hicks'
their first defeat of the season
8-5, while Klondike kept Lake
Creek ii. the cellar by a score
of 11-9.
League standings find Ander-
suifs Hardware leading in the
c’ty league with two wins and no
>es, followed by Adair and
Hicks with one win and one loss
and Stovall’s Hardware and VFW
tied with one win and two losses
each.
In the county league, Klondike
and Enloe are tied for first hon-
ors with two wins and no losses,
with Rattan having one win and
two losses and Lake Creek three

All Star Game
An all-star aggregation from
Sulphur Springs met the Delta
county all-stars, a team made up
from players from all the city
and county teams, Wednesday
night at the Athletic Field and
were soundly trounced 24 to 5.
The local team pushed across 12
runs in the first inning and never
had much opposition from the
visitors, causing a loosely played
game to result. The game was
called at the end of five innings.

Whooping Cough
Incidence At
Seven Year High
Austin:—A statement released
today by Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, indicates that the
incidence of whooping cough in
Texas is at present almost three
times as high as the seven year
median.
“Prevention and control of
whooping cough, especially among
infants and small children, may
be aecomplished through use of
approved vaccine and convales-
cent serum,” Dr. Cox asserted,
“and it is important that such
measures be taken to protect
them. Neglecting to do so, and
allowing the young child to suffer
an attack of this disease, may
seriously impair his future
health.”
“The infectious agent or germ
of whooping cough, is transmitted
by droplets expelled in coughing,
sneezing, or speaking,” Dr. Cox
said. “The discharges from the
nose and throat are dangerous to
susceptible persons; the need for
early recognition and careful iso-
lation of whooping cough is ob-
vious.”
The first sign of this disease
is usually a dry cough, which per-
sists day and night and tends to
become increasingly severe. The
disease is fully developed when
vomiting of food and whopping
accompany the paroxysm of
cough. Dr. Cox stressed the fact
that children who have whooping
cough should not attend school
and should be isolated so that
they will not come in contact
with other children until three
weeks after the appearance of
typical signs of the disease.

the following statement in regal'd
to the effect that the recently-
enacted common school law will
have on Delta county schools.
Teacher-pupil quota under the
new school law, House Bill No.
295 of the 50th Legislature, 1947,
states that state aid under pro-
visions of this act shall be alloted
upon the basis of one teacher for
any number of scholastics of each
race from 20 to 35 and one ad-
ditional teacher for each addition-
r! 30 sco’astics, or fractional part
thereof, residing in the district.
It is expressly provided that in
the event scholastics are trans-
ferred into the districts the excess
fractional part thereof shall not
be less than two scholastics for
schools having more than one
teacher.
The basis for calculating ‘shall
be the net scholastics enumera-
tion of white or colored race, as
the case may be, including the
transfers into the district, provid-
ed such transfers are from dis-
tricts with an eligible tax rate—
50 cents local maintenance on the
$100 valuation—and their grades
are not taught at home district,
and there shall be deducted all
scholastics who have completed
the course of study in their home
school as classified by the County
Board of Trustees.
The last day for anyone to
make a transfer will be August
1, according to Mr. Templeton.
Those wishing to transfer may
make application at their earliest
convenience. It is desired that
all transfers will be completed at
an early date so that all schools
may be in readiness for the Coun-
ty School Board classification
early in August.
?Thc base pry for teacher for the
biennium will be $148 and $25
will be added per each month for
each year of college credit over
one year. Six dollars per month
will be added for each year of
teaching experience not to exceed
$72 per month. To receive credit
for each year of college training
beginning with the fourth year,
a recognized degree appropriate
to each year of college training
must be conferred.

Second Half Of
Rural Home Spraying
Begins In County
The second half of the DDT
spraying program began last
week when workmen began
spraying houses near Cedar Creek
and will work west to the county
line.
The program is in cooperation
with the State Health Department
and the Commissioner’s court, a
charge of $1.50 being made this
year for spraying a house of four
rooms or less and 25 cents ad-
ditional for each room over the
four rooms. The charge is being
made to defray a part of the ex-
penses incurred.
Last year all of the houses of
the county were sprayed by a
crew at no expense through the
cooperation of the Federal Gov-
ernment and the State Health
Departmedt.
Worthwhile results were im-
mediately noted last year in prac-
tically all houses sprayed with
the DDT solution as insects found
insider homes after the spraying
were decreased considerably.
