Leadership By a Progressive GroupT h e m eetings o f pathologists, doctors, can­

cer specialists and veterinarians, scheduled

in M arfa this w eekend under the sponsorship

o f thc H ighland H ereford Breeders associa­tion, m ay be a very significant one in develop­ing valuable information about cancer — both in anim als and humans.

N o t m any studies have been made o f cancer in anim als, and there is on ly one authoritative book on thc subjcct. w c have been told. But a good deal o f research has been done by various individuals, and the purpose o f this m eeting is to get as m any o f those men to­gether as possible and to correlate and combine w hat has been learned.

For instance, there w ill be reports on a stud y o f a larger number o f cases o f cancer eye in cattle, together w ith reports o f possible predisposition to that cancer through heredity, through pigm entation, through earlier cases o f such d iseases as pink-eye, and so on. There w ill be exam ination of another group o f cattle in various stages o f thc d isease here. There w ill be reports o f our ow n D r. Ben Gearhart and the excellent results he has had with surgery. T h ere w ill be reports o f others w ho have tried radiation. T here will be discussions o f thc relationship between bovine and human cancer.

A n d all the talks and d iscussions will be taken dow n by wire recorder, so that all in­formation m ay be studied, evaluated, organ­ized and combined in written form after thc m eetings.

Cattlem en and scientists both hope that the results m ay be tw o-fold — first, to point out one or tw o directions in which further re­search and study arc likely to prove profitable in finding m ethods o f reducing cancer eye in cattle, particularly in Hereford cattle: and sccond, to increase, if b y only a little, thc general fund o f know ledge about cancer as a w hole, with the idea that increased knowledge, and information which m ay lessen bovine can­cer. m ay a lso aid in the fight against canrcr in man.

T h e H ighland Hereford association alw ays has been a forward-looking organization. It took the lead liete y ea is ago in improving herds. It built up fine stock and then it brought in northern buyers and feeders. It established H ighland H erefords as the finest stock in the country.

N o w that organization is not on ly taking steps to see that the stock remains the best and m ost desirable in the country, but it is going a step farther, helping to build a better future for everyone, helping to free man of thc fear o f cancer.

Too Many Billions to Make SenseA member o f the C ongressional committee

which recently made up appropriations, auth­orizing S51 billion for d efense spending, said after his bill had come out that he really didn’t know w hether the sum should be $51 billion ■— or S15 billion — or SSO billion.

H ere is a Congressm an in a position of responsibility w ho is really trying to do what is best for this country — to see that it has the defense budget it should have and the best it can have within its ability to pay.

But the figures are siniply too staggering for any ordinary man or any ordinary com ­mittee to cope with.

T o make any kind of sense, those billions must constitute thc sum o f various small amounts that can be computed in dollars — in figures that can make som e sort o f sense.

But that Congressm an reported that in the first place those sensible smaller figures were not available from the various services. T h e A ir Force for instance thought it needed so m any planes. But what they w ould cost, and w hat it w ould cost to get and train men to man them, w hat materials, supplies and equip­ment would cost, w as all a guess. T h e same w as true for other services. A ctual estim ates, real price figures were not available.

N either, of course, were any real estim ates

o f just what thc nation needs in arqiaments. W e d on ’t know, any o f us, least o f all the branches o f the service in charge o f our d e­fense. W e m ay need tomorrow 1000 B -36 ’s. O r w e m ay never need them. O r the need instead may suddenly be a full fleet o f big super carriers. N ot on ly do w e not know w hat w e w ill need, but there has been no agreem ent reached as to the best and most logical sort of d efense program — it’s just each service try­ing to make sure it w ill have enough, whether or not it m ay be needed.

O n top of all those difficulties, there prob­ably are not enough clerks, enough statistic­ians, enough research experts, enough econ­om ists, available to the congressional approp­riations committee to break the enorm ous sums up into items that can make sense.

T h e taxpayer can do the division that brings the national appropriations to thc local level. It w as estim ated, for instance, that o f the $8J/£ billion foreign aid program proposed by Pres­ident Trum an, the taxpayers of T ex a s would pay $379,950,000 — alm ost as much as oper­ating the T ex a s state governm ent for a year.

It isn’t too difficult to translate these billions o f federal appropriations into expenses for the taxpayer. But it's m ighty hard to establish the real need of the appropriations, som etimes.

Politicians Control NominationSom eone said not long ago. the Republican

party, as represented by the O ld Guard, d oesn ’t w ant anything but to get into power.

A nd that's probably true.It’s also just as true, that the Dem ocratic

party, as represented by the left w ing group n ow in control of our governm ent, and the present administration, w ants on ly to remain in power.

T h e professional politicians of the Republi­can O ld Guard are lining up to promote Robert T a ft as their candidate. President Trum an, through his appointm ents and his political m achine, alm ost certainly can assure his own re-nom ination, barring a real revolt within his party. And from all appearances he is keeping him self in a position to take that nomination or to keep control so that he can name the nom inee — som eone w ho could keep the or­ganization intact for the benefit o f the Truman friends.

So there is the probable lineup — T a ft vs. Trum an. And it’s our sober, considered opinion that the majority of voters in this nation would prefer neither, yet may have to choose between them — as they had to choose between D ew ey and Trum an last time. .

A recent Gallup poll indicated that T a ft m ight defeat Truman — which w e doubt, but that V in son as a Dem ocratic nominee could beat T a ft . W h ich seem s to us on ly to point up the fact that there is m ighty little enthusiasm over an y o f those possibilities.

Som e R epublicans have sensed the lack o f popularity for any o f their candidates, and h ave su ggested that som e Republican support

Texas Flower Should Be Planted By September 15

College Station, August 22 —Take a tip from Mother Nature and plant bluebonnet seed before September 15. They can be plant­ed later but they may not bloom well. Bluebonnet seeds are small but tough, so it ’s a good idea to soak them fo r 24 hours before planting, said Sadie Hatfield, Ex­tension specialist in Homestead Improvement o f Texas A. & M. college. Planted early they nor­mally come up in October. They grow all through the w inter ex­cept during extreme tempera­tures.

The state flow er thrives In many soils, but does best on light sandy soil. One o f the beauty spots o f Texas is Old Indianola or Mata­gorda Bay near Port Lavaca where the variety adopted as our state flow er grows. The soil at Indianola is course white sand w ith an abundance o f shell frag­ments. In rich well fertilized soil, biueounnet stalks w ill grow tall with many large leaves but few bluebonnets. Acid soils o f East Texas could grow bluebonnets nicely if sweetened with alkali. Adding one pound o f lime or ashes to each ten square feet o f soil w ill counteract acid, adds Miss Hatfield.

Bluebonnets should have plenty o f sunshine and good drainage. They can be transplanted in late w inter but w ill do better if planted where they can be le ft to bloom. In the coldest areas o f the state, it w ill be necessary to start blue­bonnets in greenhouses or small flow er garden pots. The blue­bonnet has few insect and disease enemies.

Bluebonnets are soil building legumes. They seem to be o f little or no value fo r grazing.

The well known Texas botanist, H. B. Parks, has described four bluebonnets; the Chisos Mountain or tall bluebonnet o f West Texas, sandy land or Texas bluebonnett. tiie rock or purple bluebonnet ol Central and West Texas and a "pink” bluebonnet. The pink blue­bonnet is a perennial in the West­ern and B ig Bend areas.

m ight be built up for a true Dem ocratic candi­date such as Senator H arry Byrd of V irginia. Senator M undt o f South D akota suggested such a coalition o f States R ights Republicans and Jeffersonian Dem ocrats.

A nd it is entirely possible that there are enough voters in this country w ho w ant a man like Byrd. But the people w ho w ant that sort of an administration, control neither major party, even though in the aggregate they may constitute a majority. So they will have little to say about w ho is nominated — and they m ay vote on ly for those men nominated in the national conventions.

Nom inations w ill be engineered by the group of professional politicians w ho are hold­ing federal jobs, or w ho want to hold federal joLs. Personal advantage and party control, not national interest or the desires o f the voters will govern.

U n less. U n less you and I and all the rest o f us begin to make ourselves heard. U nless the rank and file o f voters, instead o f being statistics that the politicians can count on at the polls, becom e thinking and dem anding in­dividuals w ho start now to demand w hat they w ant — not accept m eekly w hat is handed them by the convention.

Public interest and belief in a candidate once forced die-hard members o f the Republican O ld Guard to g ive up and nominate a former Dem ocrat, W en d ell W illk ie .

T h at sort o f thing can happen, in either party. And it’s up to us to go to work to see that it does, if w c w ould have a candidate w e really w ant to vote for — rather than another w e guess w e'd rather vote against.

NEWSFROM FORT DAVISBy M RS J. E. C A R L T O N

Oid-Time Resident Visits Fort Davis

By Barry Scobee Fort Davis, August 22 — Visit

ins scones o f her girlhood, recall ins old-time friends and events, Miss Bess Gillespie o f Riesel, Tex as. has been visiting in Fort Davis, a guest of Miss Alice and Miss Mar}* Sproul and o f their sister, Mrs. George Williams.

The Gillespies came to Fort Davis at the end of the last cen­tury. They took part in the social nnd civic life o f the community. Mr. Gillespie was a member of the Masonic lodge here. When he passed on early in this century his widow, Mrs. Louisa A. Gilles­pie, became the Fort Davis post­master June 26, 1902, and her daughter. Miss Bess, assisted her in the office.

The Gillespies built the house across the street from the old Carlton building, now the Apache moving picture theater, and kept thc postoffice there. Miss Gilles­pie recalled that the postoffice also in early years was fo r a while in the Gigge house now tom down, where the James Dale house stands, and that it was also in the Thompson building, now the home o f the Barry Scobees. She recalled too that Hudnel Jones once had his drug store in the long adobe building just south o f the Scobees that was occupied by the late Harold King.

M is s Gillespie remembered many o f the old-timers o f 50 years ago — tiie Powells, George Perrin, the Webster fam ily and Diedrick Dutchover, the Carltons, Mrs. J. P. Weatherby, Mrs. J. W. Espy, and many others, and saw some o f them. Miss Gillespie at­tended several sessions o f the sixty-second gathering o f the Bloys Camp Meeting, that she had attended in her girlhood.

Miss Gillespie also recalled thc mysterious disappearance o f W il­liam Chesnut, known as "Buffalo", an employe o f the Powell family. His remains, presumably, were found years later in a rugged area o f the Davis mountains.

Mrs. Louisa Gillespie was post­master until 1907, when Miss Evelina Mulhem, then Mrs. James I. Edwards, was appointed to a second term. Miss Alice Sproul followed Mrs. Edwards as post master April 6, 1915.

County Com missioners H ire C a re ta k e r a t D um p

County commissioners have em­ployed a full-time caretaker for the town’s refuse dump grounds at the northeast edge of Fort Davis. He is Rodrigo Montanez, who has been employed part-time fo r an extended period.

Montanez’s duty was to try to get citizens to dump their old tin cans and newspapers and dis­carded Christmas gifts and such like in the deep pits excavated lo r the purpose. But when he was not there to watch, people dump­ed trash just anywhere there­abouts, even in the roadway lead ing to the trash grounds.

Sheriff Tom Gray made the presentation o f these facts to the commissioners, pointing out that discarded decaying matter was health menace, with flies swarm ing and possibly carrying com municable disease. On duty all day long, it is expected that Mon tanez w ill be able to direct the proper dumping o f refuse.

“ We are asking,” Sheriff Gray said, “ that citizens cooperate with him for the sake o f better sani tation and health protection.”

Mr. Gray said that Jim Espy has offered to spray the dump heaps with DDT.

Si ustedes no quicren leer las cartas en que canto las alabanzas del valle magico, le digo que esta la ultima en que hablo de Browns­ville y los alrededores.

Cuando yo vivia cn Brownsville die* aflos pasados, era una ciudad de 22,000 habitantes. When I lived in Brownsville ten years ago it was a city of 22,000 inhabitants. Ahora tiene 33,000. Ha crecido mucho. It has grown much. Una causa del aumento es el asunto de pescando para camarones. A cause of the increase is the busi­ness of fishing for shrimp. Debe de estar muchos camarones cerpa de alii porque hay una flota grande de barcos en el puerto de Brownsville y los Pescadores viven en la ciudad. There must be many shrimp near there because there is a huge fleet of boats in Pert Brownsville and the fishermen live in the city.

Matamoros, Mexico — al otro lado del Rio Grande — tambien ha cambiado mucho. De una ciu­dad polvosa, sucia, pero intere­sante, con las calles de lodo y las casas de adobe, ha cambiado mucho. From a city dusty, dirty, but interesting, with the streets of mud and adobe houses, it has changed a lot. Ahora hay mucho, mucho asunto de algodon y aceite alii. Now there is a lot of business in cotton and oil there.

Las calles empedradas estan en- tre las casas modernas que estan una combinacion de “ la ultima palabra” en lo moderno — y el estilo Espanol. The paved streets run between modern houses that are a combination o f thc last word in the modern — and Span­ish style. Por supuesto, hay las casas adobes ahora.

Pero las casas modernas tienen los (echos bajos, con los frentes uc puro vicirio, pero con rcjcis tie estilo Espanol. But the modern houses have low roofs with fronts o f pure glass, but with grill work of Spanish style.

Pero el mercado no ha cambiado ni un poco. But the market has not changed any. Hay vendedores le todas clases de articulos — de

Jugo de plfia hasta los zapatos mas modernos. There are vendors o f all kinds o f articles — ' from pineapple juice to the most mod­ern shoes. Cuando yo entre en el mercado, vivo para un rato en otro .mundo. When I enter the market, I live fo r a short time in another world.

Despues de unos pocos dias cortos volvimos a Dallas. Tenemos bastantes memorias para muchos meses — y anos. A fter a few short days we returned to Dallas. W e have enough memories for months — and years.

Pero una parte de mi corazon siempre estara’ cn el valle mag­ico con las palmas, las olas del mar y mis amigos alll. But a part o f my heart always w ill be in the magic valley with the palms, the waves o f the ocean and my friends there.

Don't Be An .Old Gloomy Gus — You'll Hate Even Yourself

By P A T W H IT EPeople who study the beginning <>f humans on Shis "rand old

earth w ill tell you that thc first task o f life is to live -that people began with acts and not with thoughts. But the thing that puzzles

all o f us is why some people act like they do. (ourselves included)

Honestly now, why should anyone be born with the gloomy outlook that lots o f folks have? You know the kind that makes you feel that any­thing hr.ppening is 'gonna be worse. Yessirree! Much, much worse. Stay around gloomy puss long enough and you get so you hate to look in the m irror for fear you’ll look as curdled as you feel.

And then there is the thorn on the rose—the guy whose always belittling. No matter what you do or how you do it—‘he kin do better,’ your glory in achievement turns to ashes and your surprises

fall flat. The belittler makes you feel like a Nothing and that’s not good. He’s the guy that can really make you crawl in your little shell and stay there.

Folks who look down their nose at you. You know the kind—disapproving I guess they call it.^----------------------------------------------Your clothes aren’t right for the occasion: your giggling is out o f place; you aren’t doing the job as you should; you shouldn't breathe —down, down their big ole noses they peer and how do you feel when they're through with you?Why. you wonder why you were bom. anyhoo.

Well, i f we are being meaneys — turn over a new leaf. And if you’ve turned over so many the book is complete, get a new one.Anyone can try to be better. You owe it to yourself and you owe it to the world around you.A Swell Present

I f you are wondering what to give as a present to your favorite little friend (o r even big one) why don’t you keep in mind that

I think everyone loves W alt Disney’s pictures and an album like this w ill be just a little d ifferent fo r a gift.

This lotion also protects against dryness and has special screening agents to protect all careless ones from overcooking when the wonderful weather—or that special gal or fe ller keeps you outdoors too long. Now be careful when you start your sun­tan this summer. Take it in easy doses so you can enjoy It. Re­member that if you bum too much it only peels o ff anyhow, so what have you gained. You look like a boiled lobster, you feel awful and it’s gonna come o ff anyhow with a lot o f itchin’ and scratch in’.

Specialists, Texas A. & M. College1. Tomatoes, pork, oranges,

lemons and potatoes are on the "plentiful" list and are thus an economical buy.

2. Serve pork the year round— it's a good source of the Vitamin B group so essential to steady nerves, good digestion and an optimistic outlook on life.

3. Hints on roasting: Salt before or after cooking, do not cover, do not add water, basting is unneces­sary when fat side o f roast is placed up. A meat thermometer is the only accurate means of telling when a roast is done.

P erhaps overeating is the most common dietary indiscre­tion. The natural result of overeating is obesity. It has been said that we in Am erica eat ourselres into a premature grave. The pendulum then frequently swings back to the other extreme. We go on a diet. Many self-imposed reduc­ing diets wouldn't keep a bird alive, and often serious vitamin, mineral, and protein deficiencies result.

In recent years great strides have been made in our knowledge of nutrition. For the maintenance of optimal health, on* mutt be assured that proper balance of vari ous foods is maintained. For dietary advice of any Lind see your physician. You can then be certain that all bodily needs ar* being adequately met. Bring your prescriptions to us.
