Polls Members
On Legislation
LONG VIEW—On the eve of the
convening of the State Legislature
the East Texas Chamber of Com-
merce is polling its members on
important legislation, according to
Hubert M. Harrison, general man-
ager. A questionnaire listing sev-
eral proposed legislative subjects
was mailed to all members
throughout the 72 county region
Friday. A compilation of answers
with reasons will be given State
legislators early in the coming ses-
sion, according to Carl C. Cooper,
manager of the regional chamber's
public affairs department, who is
making the survey.
Subjects included in the ques-
tionnaire are: Should the Automo-
bile Inspection and Drivers' Re-
sponsibility Laws be abolished, or
amended? Should the State ap-
propriate money to build tanks on
farms in the interest of water con-
servation? Should Federal funds
be requested for the erection of
dams, or should the State set up a
revolving loan fund for this? To
construct and maintain highways
are toll roads favored where trac-
fic justifies? Should the gasoline
tax be increased? Is a truck
weight distance tax recommended?
Is a stronger law recommended to
prohibit livestock from running
Joose on State highways? Should
Old Age Assistance rolls be made
open to public inspection? What
is your opinion on the salary in-
crease asked by teachers?
It is believed that this year's
Legislature will be called on to
appropriate staggering sums of
money to meet cost of new de-
mands for highway, educational,
relief and other purposes. Where
to get the money is the question
both businessmen and legislators
want answered. The survey be-
ing made by the regional chamber
which follows three successful
legislative dinners of businessmen
and legislators last fall should
provide at least part of the an-
swers, officials of the East Texas
Chamber think. Community lead-
ers throughout East Texas are
taking keener interest in govern-
ment at the State and local levels
than at any time in the past,
Harrison said.

Tuesday January 6th. Mrs. Henry
Guinn treated us to refreshments
«na we went to the American Le-
gion Park.
After dues, Mrs. Ross checked
our achievements and then asked
us if we want to make feeding st-
ations or bird house. We had so-
me boxes and busted them up.
We will have more boxes to bu-
pt up next week.
We played kick the can and had
pine cone fights, and had lots of
¡fun. Present were Jerry Cromwell,

For the second time In two years, death In the form of respiratory polio
has been put to flight by Mrs. Alice Jones of Oswego, Ore., with the aid
of the March of Dimes. The young mother of three children had to un-
dergo a throat operation while still dependent upon an iron lung to sus-
tain breathing. Her six-year-old son Steven greets her as she returns
from hospital still in an iron lung loaned by the local March of Dimes.
We were happy to get back to
our cub scout meeting after the
holidays.
R e f r eshments were served by
¡Mrs. Christopher.
The meeting adjourned by all
doing the living circle.
