happened to Tullas
WIIATIIAS
Christmas spirit this year
Looking back through our flics
wo find that even in depression and
war years Tulla sponsored Santa
Claus parades and Christmas parties
which brought thousands of persons
to town decorated the water tower
and courthouse dome as well as the
streets staged home lighting contests
flooded the downtown area
with recorded Christmas music conducted
torchlight parades decorated
the exteriors of the churches had
downtown band concerts and made
other efforts to stimulate Interest in
the Yule season
Glancing over our exchange papers
we find that almost every town
in the area except Tulla Is doing
something about Christmas Are we
less able than Floydada Dimmitt
Wellington Shamrock
Tulla Is indebted to Hollen Scott
city employee for decorating the
dome of the courthouse with numerous
strings of colored lights
The lights were turned on Tuesday
night and are visible for miles
ineyery direction from town
We are told that Tulla merchants
have lines of gift items equal and
superior to those found in the larger
neighboring centers but that the
town is permitting these other centers
to get the jump with their Santa
Claus parades and other promotions
town topics
we are not so
PERSONALLY
concerned about the lack of
commercial interest in Christmas
as we are the spirit of defeatism
lethargy and passiveness which we
observe in some quarters
Such a spirit can lead to disaster
in the months to come if it isnt
conquered NOW
town topics
OPTIMISM nor pessimism
NEITHER
mism is the answer to our
problems of the day The optimist
is he who does his Christmas shopping
with that money he expects to
have as a result of lower income
taxes next year The pessimist is
the type person who buys two
lifetime fountain pens or wears
both suspenders and a belt
Instead of being either optimists
or pessimists we should be realists
We are adults We should not permit
ourselves to be the victims of
purely psychological conditions
The realist of today does not avoid
the problems which confront him
He does not pretend that they do
not exist He brings them out into
the open and looks them squarely
in the face Then he uses his best
judgment to see what he can do
to improve the situation to find
a solution to his problems
Then he acts putting forth his
best efforts
After he has recognized the problem
analyzed it made his decision
and put forth the best that is in
him to improve the situation then
he is ready to free his mind of
worry and anxiety and lie down to
restful sleep
The person who completely ignores
business problems Is as foolish
as the one who becomes a defeatist
because of his problems
town topics
SEE PESSIMISTS every
WE
time we have one of our
red dusters They imagine that they
have made their last dollar Everything
is lost
On other occasions we see optimists
They refuse to have any concern
for the future They laugh at
danger signals Because the road
is smooth for the next 50 yards
they refuse to believe that danger
lies ahead despite the detour signs
town topics
INTO current situations
TRANSLATED
uations as an agricultural
community we should face frankly
and objectively the problems of agriculture
We must not listen to the
foolish who assume that because
they have plenty to eat today it
will necessarily always be so We
must not be the type which in March
and April refuses to trouble its
mind with the price of cotton or
grain sorghum in September or OctoberWe must look ahead and anticipate
potential problems just as a
doctor is vitally concerned over
potential cancer symptoms The doctor
tells us that the sooner he discovers
a danger signal the greater
our chances for recovery So it is
with agriculture The sooner we detect
an agricultural danger signal
and go to work on it the greater
our chance of avoiding disaster
The foolish person is ho who ignores
the danger signals of cancer
who doesnt go to the doctor until
it is too late But equally foolish is
ho who ignores the danger signals
of depression who doesnt become
concerned until the depression arrivestown topics
OLD TESTAMENT days Noah
IN
was commissioned of God to
warn the people of impending disaster
We can almost hear the masses
who refused to listen calling Noah
a prophet of gloom
In this day the same term has
been used to describe realists by
two groups of persons political
minded Republicans and irresponsible
jackasses one or two of which
can be found in every county

EDITORS NOTE Five couples
from this area all Flying Farmers
left Nov 26 with 140 other Flying
Farmers for a visit to Hawaii
They were Mr and Mrs Claude
Hutcherson and Mr and Mrs Weldon
Foster of Plalnvicw Mr and
Mrs Wallace Stovall and Mr and
Mrs Elvin Foster of Kress and
Mr and Mrs Homer Garrison of
Llttlcflcld The following account
of the trip was written by Mrs
Elvln Foster
Leaving OaklandCalif via Trans
ocean Airlines we arrived in Honolulu
capital city of the Hawaiian
islands after 11 hours of very
smooth flying At times we could seethe
blue water of the Pacific Other
times we could see nothing below
but billowing clouds
The 50 passengers aboard each
plane were served two very good
meals during the flight
Arriving at Honolulu International
airport we were greeted by many
natives and photographers Leis of
orchids were given us We stayed
at the luxurious Reef Hotel the
newest of many fine hotels
In Hawaii we found a somewhat
different way of life a slower and
more leisurely one Less formal
upon the state in time of crisis
We cannot have states rights
without state responsibility he said
He is recommending to the next
legislature that a 5000000 revolving
fund be established to assist communities
in time of disaster whether
It be by the swift destruction of
a tornado or the slow destruction
of a drouth
and less clothes were observed
Some were clad in bathing suits
some in shorts and some in colorful
sun dresses or shirts or loosefitting
gown type dresses Others wore the
Chinese type fitted dresses called
pake muns Many go barefooted or
else wear the toe strap sandal
Three of our five couples attended
a Baptist church where everything
was like our own church However
we three women were the only
women in church wearing hats
Many wore orchids or native red
flowers in their hair
Since the islands are a territory
of the United States the people resent
being called anything but an
American They are a friendly
hospitable folk The population
seems to be about one half white
Since Pearl Harbor is located
near Honolulu many whites are
seen around the city
Hawaii is a group of islands The
major islands are Oahu Kauai
Maui Molokai and Hawaii The
Big Island or the Volcano Island
is 4030 square miles It maybe
reached by plane 75 to 95 minutes
from Honolulu On it is the
highest mountain peak in the Pacific
also two active volcanoes This

White criticized the Texas legislature
for not recognizing the drouth
as a major problem awaiting that
body when it meets
I am shocked to learn that the
state legislators are not conflderlng
state drouth relief as one of the
problems to bo taken up in the next
legislative session in January he
said In answering a questionnaire
is also called the Orchid Island
Kauai is referred to as the Garden
Island because of its luxurious
greenery and profusion of flowers
a result of abundant rainfall Kauai
is the northern most island only
45 air miles from Honolulu Molokai
2G0 square miles is GO miles southeast
of Honolulu and has only 5000
population Most of the island is
devoted to farming and ranching
There arc two pineapple plantations
On the northern side of the island is
an isolated settlement once a leper
colony
Maul has a more simple kind of
living than found on Oahu On this
island is found the largest inactive
volcanic crater in the world It is
large enough to house New York
City Oahu on which Honolulu is
located has about 75 per cent of the
population of the islands It is a
profusion of greenery with the western
side covered witn pineapple and
sugar cane fields these two being
the two leading industries The buildings
and homes are modern and well
kept There are many schools the
people are well educated most
everyone speaks English
The Hawaiian language is an easy
one there being only 12 letters in

Sturman Heads Chamber of Commerce In 1957
Texas Commissioner of Agriculture
John C White speaking at the
annual banquet of the Tulia Chamber
of Commerce recommended a
4point program for combatting the
disastrous drouth which has held
Texas agriculture in its grip during
the past five years
He said the government should setup
low interest refinancing loans for
bona fide farmers provide drouth
refief necessities such as hay and
grain utilize all government owned
food for maintaining health standards
and conditions in drouth strick
en areas and recognize the drouth
as human tragedy
White said that the state and federal
governments should more fully
realize the terrific economic impact
the current drouth is causing in TexasasHe
He insisted that the issuance of
a prociomation or the adoption of
a resolution just wont get the job
doneThere
There is no substitute for action
he said I am happy to read that
President Elsenhower is going to
visit the drouth stricken areas soon
even at this late date but such a
trip is useless unless he plans definite
action to alleviate the indescribable
conditions in areas which have
been hit hardest by drouth
White also placed responsibility
It must bo for all the people
he said
He added that prosperity Is determined
by how many 20 bills arc
In Joe Smiths pocketbook
