Maybe the mosquitoes got too
bad—anyway the Liquor Control
Board didn’t find any stills in
either Titus nor Red River Coun-
ties the past month. Two were
taken in Marion and one in Leon.
Kiwanis Club of Paris honored
the newspapers of Lamar County
at their meeting on Tuesday. This
is national newspaper week and
this service club conferred hon-
ors where they were due. This
editor had an invitation to the
meeting, but had to decline with
regret, due to other matters de-
manding attention.
Saturday is press day at the
State Fair over at Big D. The

journal and the Missus plan to

“South Pacific,” a football game,

some of the editors, see what Fa-
ther Time has done to Sally Rand
since he saw her last in 1936.

Public opinion has turned upon
the trucker who hauls over our
highways more load than the law
allows. He has been designated
as the “One Percenter” who does
more damage to our highways
than a thousand moderately-
loaded trucks. Even the truck-
ing industry is now out after his
scalp and the next legislature will
be asked to provide more weight
truck inspectors. It is not right
that any individual should be
permitted to destroy property
of the tax payer to enrich his own
purse. It is also not fair to the
tax-paying railroads which build
their own roadbeds. Just listen
to the roar of the giant trucks,
■ traveling mostly at night, as they
’ reach steep grades on our high-
ways and you know what is hap-
pening to our highways without
weighing the trucks. ’ They are
crushing our highways, built for
lighter loads, faster than we can
rebuild and maintain them.
