The announcement by the left-wing Communist inspired organization
operating on the campuses of our institution* uf higher learning that
they would bring off a general strike on Tuesday, November 5, In order
to create chuos on the day of our general elections, is further proof —
although none was needed — that this gang is t>ent on one thing only,
and that is, the destruction of the government of the United Stutes of
America.
It is glaringly apparent that "reasoning" with this outfit would be un
exercise in futility, and we're not for it anyway.
Freedom of speech and freedom of action in order to destroy freixlom
Of speech and freedom of action are not in our lexicon, and we have
had about enough of that kind of freedom!
The bearded long hairs with their little tables set up on the campuses
of our colleges and universities in Texa:. us elsewhere, are well-trained
vocal missionaries of destruction of the system under which they operate
so freely; and the pity of it is that the immature mid unsuspecting are
often taken in by their preachments.
They are vehemently told in their espousal of the Communist croud
In South Vietnam, They are loud in their praise of the Hanoi leadership,
and they would lay this country open to annrchy by disarming the police
forces of the nation. Ami the sad (and disgraceful! part of it is that they
are making headlines — and commanding TV time — while branding
anyone who opposes them as "Fascists".
We believe it to lie incumbent upon the administration of a college.
University or, for that matter, a public school to enforce the discipline
on the campus which the ninety-nine and nine-tenths of the parents ol
this country have a right to expect. Certainly, they do not consciously
or willingly subject their children to the poisons of the mind when they
puck them off to school, and yet it is happening.
These parlous times call for a rededication on the part of all of us
who love our children, our country, and our still-free American institu-
tions. And at the rusk of oversimplification, we should condemn these
dissidents, these eroding influences, these rotten apples, else we will
assuredly be sorry that we did not And tluit very soon!

It is no longer possible to go
to lied in the East, as did Charles
Evans Hughes in 1916, thinking you
are President of the United Stales,
only to find the next morning that
the returns from tl.e West have
elected your opimnent.
An up-to-the-minute communica-
tions system, combined with some
old-fashioned leg work, now make
it possible to report November
general election returns faster and
more accurately than ever liefore.
As a result of the sophisticated,
nationwide communications ml
work — which combines the re-
sources of the telephone company,
the news services and the major
television networks — candidates
and voters will know who has won
iutd lost, the same day.
"The telephone is the first link
in the reporting process," ex-
plained C. L. Caixon. Manager for
Southwestern Bell.
"After the pulls close in Bastrop
the returns will be phoned to the
regional election center in Dallas
which will relay them to New York
for tabulation with the nationwide
election picture," he added R. K.
Stundifer, Bastrop County repre-
sentative of the Texas Election
Bureau .has served as their "Con-
tuct Man" for the past 35 years,
tabulating and calling in local and
county returns on every election
as fast as the votes are counted.
In making communications ar-
rangements for Hie massive vote
counting Job Southwestern Bell is
cooperating with News Election
Service a p<mi| arrangement of the
three major TV networks (ABC,
CBS and NBO and the two major
wire services (AP and UPI).
News Election Service will gather
and total in a central computer
system the vote for candidates for
president and vice president, U S.
Senate, House of Representatives,
and state governor.
More than 12T>.000 News Flection
"reporters" in all 50 stales and
the District of Columbia will re-
port unofficial returns on election
night, November 5. The nation has
lieen divided into seven regions for
the election, and regional centers
! will collect vote tallies from the
News Election reporters in the
specific states assigned to them
The Dallas Region includes the
states of Arkansas, Kansas, Mis-
souri, Oklahoma and Texas.
More Hum 2,400 telephones will
be installed in the seven regional
cen* —v to receive calls from the
News Election rcimrtiTS, Carson
said.
"We arc briefing our I/mg Dis
tance operators In toe special
streamlined calling arrangements
for these election reporters on elec-
tion night," said Carson. "The
faster the call is completed, of
course, the faster the election pic-
ture will he formed."
In the regional centers, vote
totals will Im> translated into com-
puter language ami transmitted by
Bell's Data-Phone over the regular
Long Distance network to the
News Election Service computer in
New York City.
This central comp iter will sort
votes ami keep running results.
Every six minutes, the computer
will provide the running tally on
the presidential race. In between,
it will give results for senatorial,
gulie mutoriul and congressional
races. Carson pointed out.
These vole tabulations will Ih>
sent from around the country back
to the regional centers for direct
distribution to each stale headquar-
ters of the News Election Service,
which in the case of Texas will be
Dallas.
"As a result, today's presidential
or congressional candidate should
go to bed after election night,
knowing for sure whether he lias
won or lost," Carson said,

Teachers Solicit
Your \ ote For
Amendment No. 0
Teachers in Texas are asking I
you to vote for Amendment No. 9.
Passage of Amendment No. 9 will
allow teachers to contribute to the
j Teacher Retirement System on the I
basis of their actual salaries. For ;
j more than 110 years there have
I teen constitutional limits to the
| salaries thai Could lie uesil us a
top basis for contributions, and
j now those limits tire out of touch
i with reality.
If you vote for Amendment No,
| 9, you won't lose so many of the
| talented college students and grad-
i (tali's who would like to teach.
If you vote for Amendment No.
9, you won't lose m many of the
veteran teachers who would like
; lo contribute in their preferred
\ profession but must consider the
effect on their retirement income.
As long as there is a const itu-
\ tional limit to the salary on which
J a teacher can contribute toward
j his retirement, there will 1m- indi-
! viduftls — may individuals — who
j must constantly be deciding wheth-
er or not to teach.
They haven't had litis oppor-
i tunlty in part because of the con-
stitutional ceilings to salaries on
! which retirement can lie bused. No
matter how much a teacher adr
: vances, his retirement prospects
i are, as of today, limited. Retire-
j menl is supposedly bused an a
I teacher's 10 Im^I years. In terms
of salary earned. Yet that | >rtion
of a year's salary which exceeds
the constitutors! ct iling is not even
considered.
In 1936, when the Texas Consti-
I tution was amended to provide a
: Teacher Retirement System, the
amendment se" an upper salary
| limit on which teachers could eon-
! tribute toward their retirement In
! the 32 years since, that celling has
been raises! jvsi once
Don't lose new teachers, and
I don't lose veteran teachers Vote
for Amendment No 9. (live teach-
ers a chance to contribute toward
I their retirement .in the husta of
| their full salaries, just as other
state employees do,
Please vote 'or Amendment No
9 on November 5. Do it for your
j teachers But also do it so you ciui
attract and keep the kind of peo-
ple you want teaching your chil-
dren in Its years to come.

"Approach to Pruning" was the
demonstration given by Mrs. Lois
Hopper, extension agent, at the
Rockne H-D Club meeting, Tuesday
evening. October 22. held In the
Sacred Heart School Library.
Pruning stiould be done when nee-
ded, not by season. Mrs Hopper

son, and use caution.
Some reasons for pruning include
removal of dead wood, winter killed
growth, and removal of unwanted
growth, or to rejuevenate a plant
The root anil top system of a new
shrub should be pruned for balance
Also diseased and bisect growth
stiould be removed Pruning is u1*j
needed to maintain or develop a
I desired size and shape for produc-
j tion of better flowers and fruit.
! Good equipment is essential foi
u good job. A curved saw is better
; than a straight edged saw for pru-
ning jolts.
