New Gettysburg
Lincoln Address
As we understand a political
kick-off dinner, the guests are
expected to kick in.
For Congress, First District—
WRIGHT PATMAN

ABE MAYS
of Atlanta
((Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address
—rewritten by E. William Grant,
Box 42, DuBois, Pa.)
One score and six years ago
our fathers brought forth upon
this nation a new tax, conceived
in desperation and dedicated to
the proposition that all men are
fair game.
We are now engaged in a great
mass of calculation, testing whe-
ther this taxpayer or any taxpay-
er so confused and so impover-
ished can long endure. We are
met together on Form 1040—we
have come to dedicate a large
portion of our income to a final
resting place with those men who
here spend their lives that they
may spend our money.
It is altogether anguish and
torture that we should do this,
but in the legal sense we can not
evade, we can not cheat, we can
not underestimate this tax. The
collectors, clever and sly who
computed here have gone far be-
yon our power to add or subtract.
Our creditors will little note
nor long remember what we pay
here but the Bureau of Internal
Revenue will never forget what
we report here. It is rather for
us to be dedicated to the great
task remaining before us, that
from these vanished dollars we
take increased devotion to’ the
few remaining, and that we here
highly resolve that next year will
not find us in a higher income
bracket.
The president insists we are
not in a war. Just a friendly
game of canasta, perhaps.

For the first time in the his-

O S. (Opie) HOLLOWAY
Overheard in a millinery store
somewhere: "Isn’t it just too
sweet, dear?” “No—it’s just too
dear, sweet.”
For Countv Attorney—
AUSTIN GUEST
ROBERT GOODING
Don’t worry over the little
troubles of today. Wait ten years
and maybe they will be big en-
ough to worry over.

I Those skeletons in the family
, closet wouldn't look so frightful
! if they were not dragged out into
public view so often.
In the old fashioned days it
was commendable to be economi-
cal. but nowadays one stands the
risk of being called a tightwad.
Traffic accidents in Texas last
year took 2.000 lives and caused
a property damage of $227,000 a
day. And 1050 is marching along,
in the same track: as 1949.

Democratic
Beatitudes
You cannot bring about pros-
perity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot strengthen the
weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by
tearing big men down.
You cannot help the poor by
destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage-earn-
er by pulling the wagepayer
down.
You cannot keep out of trou-
ble by spending more than your
income.
You cannot establish sound so-
cial security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character
and courage by taking away a
man’s initiative and independ-
ence.
You cannot help men perman-
ently by doing for them what
they could and should do for
themselves.
Ihe loss of fifteen American
lives in the Korean war excites
and alarms us. The loss of 700
lives over a Holiday week end is
taken as a matter-of-course, to
be repeated probably on the next
holiday week end.
“Laws can stop crime,” is the
heading of an article in a daily
paper. Nobody denies the effec-
tiveness of laws, but unless law
enforcement officers and jurors
do their duty laws are just an-
other scrap of paper.
Census returns are revealing
many red faces around chambers
j of commerce, rooms. However,
the big towns should not com-
plain. When they need popula-
tion they .simply vote in a slice
' of surrounding territory.
A Congresswoman is dissatis-
fied with the congressional pay

$2,500 allowed them for expenses.

TO WHOM IT
MAYCONCERN
About a year ago a petition was signed by 103
citizens of the Fulbright Independent School District
requesting a full and complete investigation of the
entire management of the affairs of the Fulbright In-
dependent School District- This petition was present-
ed to a Clarksville attorney, not a public official, but
has never been made public.
It was agreed by the signers of the petition that
action would not be taken on the petition providing
the superintendent of the Fulbright Independent
School would positively not accept any future contract
with the Fulbright school district, even tho it^ might
be offered. The signers of the petition understood
that the superintendent agreed to step out of the Ful-
bright school system on June 30, 1950.
In fairness to the voters of Red River County, it
is requested that a full explanation of this incident be
made to the voting public.

Seven delegates from Red Riv-
er County attended the three day
4-H Encampment at Lake Trini-
dad, along with Mrs. Bill Pow-
ell, adult leader from Fulbright,
Mrs. Aline Allen, Home Demon-
stration Agent, and Harold
Spann, Assistant County Agent-
in-Training. The group left
Clarksville early Wednesday
morning*of last week in two cars,
arriving at Lake Trinidad early
in the afternoon for registration.
The lake, which makes a beau-
tiful camping site, is owned and
operated by the Texas Power and
Light Company. Each yrar this
company is host to thousands of
4-H boys and girls from South,
East, Northeast, and Central Tex-
as.
The days activity started with
I swimming before breakfast at
5:00. After breakfast there were
classes in entomology wild life,
forestry, crafts, home planning,
foods, and etiquette. While some
were participating in sports, ot-
hers were learning new songs and
games. There was some kind of
activity for the boys and girls
every minute of the day up until
5:00 ip the afternoon and that was
swim time again.
After the group numbering 150
assembled in a large open air tab-
ernacle for an evening program
of fun, singing, playing games,
and square dancing. Each boy and
girl attending the encampment
will long remember the friendly
atmosphere at Lake Trinidad and
the quality of sportsmanship a-
mong their fellow members at
the encampment.
The delegates attending the en-
campment from Red River County
were: Paul Peek and Atha Mat-
tie Blair of Boxelder, Jerry Whit-
ten and Sidney Hudson of Bo-
gata, Bettye Bartley and Jerpmne
outen of Anona, and John
Brooks of Bagwell.
