Up to the “Boomer State” last
week went your genial and regular
editor of this column, for a two
week vacation. There, in the land
of homespun humorists and of In-
dian oil royalists, he can visit for
awhile with the homefolks, refresh
himself with pleasant renewal of
old acquaintances, and then come
back to Refugio with a better ap-
preciation of South Texas Gulf
Coast breezes.
This casual reference to the
weather of these summer days
brings to mind our observation of
and admiration for a certain group
of beaver-like individuals who seem
to thrive on our Texas brand of
July sunshine. While we ordinary
folks go about our routine business
these summer days and make the
usual and accepted conversation
about the atmospheric conditions of
the moment, determined but smiling

Yes, in Texas, hot weather and poli-

is this, as a general rule, Texas
men in public life deserve our re-
spect and admiration. To serve

vert back to the days of their youth
and start throwing mud balls. When
such things happen to our earnest
aspirant to public office, and they
usually do, as we note daily as the
weather and race gets hotter, he
of sensitiveness. It is considered
well within the rules of the con-
testants for any member of the
embattled fratenity to seek out and
get testimonials of praise from his
home town. The old school profes-
sor is brought out of retirement
and tells what a model student the
candidate was in his boyhood days.
Not a word about the old hickory
limb. Aunt Hettie braves mike
fright and recalls manly qualities
in the early life of her precocious
nephew. After listening for awhile
to these and various other speak-
ers praising our subject back in
his old home town, we decide to
turn the radio dial over to another
station. The determined voice of an
opposing candidate is recognized,
and he is painting his own version
by word picture of our previous
subject. And thus it goes for those
Texans who choose the profession
of public service. That is the Amer-
ican way and we should glory in
the system. It is not not only our
privilege to select carefully our
public servants, but it is our duty,
an obligation we owe not only our-
selves, but the next generation. So,
come next Saturday, let every qual-
ified voter exercise that privilege
by going to the polls and voting
his choice.
Have you noticed the summer
straws being worn these days by
FOREST ENGLISH? A high air
conditioned crown and a wide brim.
Reminds us of the oft quoted say-
ing, “you can get the boy out of
the country, but when he grows up,
moves To the city, and becomes the
painless extractor of your taxes, he
still displays horse sense in select-
ing his head gear.” Out at the
HEARD & HEARD office toils a
man, unassuming of manner, and
who sticks strictly to his work. In
his leisure hours, he is a collector
of oddities. Right now, believe it
or not, RIPLEY is unaware of a
rare specimen BOB SESSIONS has
in his collection—a mesquite bean
grown in the shape of a perfect
set of ram’s horns. And speaking
of mesquite beans, we are remind-
ed of the summer camp held again
this summer at Camp Karankahua,
on the shores of Lake Corpus Chris-
ti, near Mathis. Boy Scouts from
three Refugio troops attended. We
learn that BILLY GOFORTH was
among the few Scouts who won the
coveted Scout Order of the Ar-
row. Refugio Scouters are appre-
ciative of the time given by D.M.
taught them by leaders of the Nazi
regime. In this song were these
words, “we are born, to die, we are
born to die for our Fueher.” Alas,
how prophetic were tho^e words.
Our speaker contrasted that nega-
tive and hopeless outlook with that
of American youth, brought up in
wholesome atmosphere of Scouting
and kindred influences. So, let us
encourage our boys in accomplish-
ments that make for better citizens
of tomorrow.
This writer appreciates the kind-
ness of “BUTCH” BARTON in
designating him as the recipient of
passes to a good show at the Rialto
Theatre last week.
