Let's Do It Ourselves
Editor’s Note: This week’s editorial contains extracts
from Hubert Harrison’s keynote speech at the convention
of Texas Chamber of Commerce managers at Amarillo, June
5, 1950. Mr. Harrison is president of the East Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce.
It is an honor to be asked to speak to you at this
momentous and critical time in our history. This
association means much to me. My first conven-
tion was in Waco in 1919 soon after I took my
first chamber of commerce job ac Wichita Falls.
This profession has come a long way since then.
Better trained young men have entered the field.
Business men respect the profession but we need
to go further in raising our standards. I hope to
see the day when we will have some system of
licensing, similar to doctors, lawyers, engineers
and others, to keep out those unfit in character,
training or temperament.
I remember saying in 1941 in Los Angeles to
a National convention of chamber of commerce
managers that “it is obvious that as this govern-
ment power increases, the usefulness and need
of chambers of commerce will decrease and per-
haps cease altogether. The destruction of private
enterprise by paternalistic government control
will largely eliminate the services of the modern
chamber. There is no such organization permitted
in dictator countries.” Well that was only nine
years ago and we know how far the Federal gov-
ernment has encroached upon business since that
time.
I like your convention theme: Let’s Begin At
Home. That is the place you must begin to be
more efficient and to render such good services
that we may stave off the day that the bureau-
crats take us over.
We believe that communities should solve their
own problems at home, as far as possible, with
their own energy and talent, instead of running
to Washington for help. Let’s do it ourselves.
Here and there we find a trend back towards
old-fashioned American self-reliance. Recently
Lufkin refused government aid for a hospital
and built one without outside help. Jasper re-
fused a Federal government housing project.
Troup recently built a country club, golf course,
swimming pool, new high school and expanded
W’ater and sewer lines with no Federal aid, en-
tirely from local donations and local bonds. The
Houston school board refused Federal aid on
school lunches, which would have cost the tax-
payers a million dollars, and fed the really needy
children for thirty thousand dollars contributed
privately.
The Gilmer-Aikin school program is an ex-
ample of beginning at home and doing it ourselves
without waiting for Federal agents to come in
and do it for us.
The Bell amendment to the State Constitution,
providing for State revenue bonds to make loans
to towns for water reservoirs, to be repaid from
the sale of water, is another example of doing a
job ourselves instead of running to the Federal
Department of Interior.
And yet after all, this whole matter comes
down to personal responsibility. In this atomic
age I don’t know how to solve world problems.
I am just one citizen doing his best in his small
corner. Let us resolve that “as for me and my
house” we will stand up for that right in the com-
munity and in the Nation, though the Heavens
fall.

It says SUCCESS- with SPIRIT
First of the Fine Cars in Value
"V7"OU can see this man has made
X his mark in life, and while his
heart’s still young.
You can tell he likes action for his
money—that he knows a fine car
needn’t be the most expensive to
give the greatest value.
Yes, such are the things you know
of any man, when you note that
his car is a ROADMASTER.
Uollow him on his spirited way
as he pilots this lively motorcar
through traffic. Even the light-
weights are no match for this
road-steady husky—not with the
152-horsepower straight-eight
Fireball engine that purrs be-
neath its bonnet.
With all its outsize room, interior
luxury and exterior grace—with
all its front-rank prestige, rare
performance and matchless ride—
a ROADMASTER can be yours for
less than some smaller cars cost.
In fact, even if you had a fortune
to spend, you couldn’t make a
more fortunate buy in the fine-car
field.
Maneuver beside him at the next
stop light. Then just try to get
away as smoothly, swiftly and
silently as Dynaflow Drive gets
his ROADMASTER going —and
keeps it rolling without shifting,
even automatically.
uo we suggest you try a few
minutes behind the wheel. We’re
confident they will convince you
that ROADMASTER has everything
you could ever ask for in any
motorcar—although your Buick
dealer asks a good bit less for
ROADMASTER than you might pay
for other top-line cars.
JJut don’t waste time merely en-
vying the man in this great car!
Why not emulate him?

Draft Will Defer
College Boys Until
Ore Year Completed
What effect will the draft have
upon Grand Saline area boys who
plan to enter college this fall?
President James G. Gee of East
Texas State College said today a
report from The American Council
on Education, Washington, D. C.,
informed him that college students
Mill be deferred during the aca-
demic year in which they are call-
ed for induction into the armed
forces.
These are the provisions of the
original Selective Service Act which
is still in effect.
Thus, unler present provisions,
boys who are not drafted before
the beginning of the fall term
should r.ot be eligible for a draft
call until the end of the 1950-51
college year or approximately
June 1, 1951.
