Quitman's Impatience Pays Off
Backed by a group of civic-minded Quitman busi-
nessmen, the Wood County Democrat of Quitman, one
of the best small-town weeklies in Texas, launched a
campaign a few weeks ago to extend and improve the
telephone service of Quitman.
“The citizens of Quitman,” the Democrat editoriali-
zed recently, “have been very patient in their waiting
for new teiephone equipment. We realize that during
the war it was impossible for all those who wanted
telephones to get them. We also realized that it was
impossible to get new equipment to replace the worn-
out equipment that was being used. Defeating our
enemies came first," the Democratic editoral continued,
“and if patience was necessary in putting up and carry-
ing on with poor telephone equipment, it was there.
“But now the war is over and we are trying to get
back on the road to reconversion and we haven’t even
had a ‘peep’ out of the Southwestern States Telephone
Co. as to their plans for Quitman and Wood County.
(The Southwestern States operates in Grand Saline).
“This probably wouldn’t have come so soon if a
glaring example of apparent neglect on the part of
the company toward us (in Quitman) hadn’t come up
recently. But the had part about it was and is that the
example is taking place right here in Wood County—
in the up and coming little city of Hawkins, in fact.
New telephones are being installed to subscribers there
and within the next few weeks a dial system will be in-
stalled. Yes, a dial system in Hawkins! And what do
we have in Quitman?” the editorial asks. “Telephones
that fall into a half dozen pieces every time you pick
them up."
The /Wood County Democrat editorial launched
further into its attack on the Southwestern States Tele-
phone r .. concluding with a "hurrah for the City of
Hawkins and their new dial telephone system,” and the
'quosG'oo: 'If a onal! orivately-owned telephone ex-
cha. • ; !.c h coed .Trice to their customers,
why c;\ ti-t* ilutVn like the Southwestern
State Teienhone Co. do more to satisfy their custom-
ers?”
Thi? week the Democrat is again authority for in-
forrvion hat alter that editorial of -Ian. 31, 1946, and
an cd: o; ial last week, bias ing the telephone company,
severa1 films and private homes were equipped last
Thursday with telephones in Quitman.
Quitman is about a third the size of Grand Saline,
which has been uuite patient in holding its tongue con-
cerning a request for improved telephone service.
But it sets one to wondering: Does the telephone
company only honor those requests accompanied by
bitter attacks by word of mouth and through the local
press? It looks that way in the case of Quitman.
Batteries For Today’s Game
It seems like years since East Texas has heard that
old familiar refrain as the “empire” announces the
pitchers and catchers for a baseball game.
But the war is over, at least for the average Ameri-
can, even though the politicians are pussyfooting around
for advantages should another one come.
Most of us are settling down, though, to decent^
lives and looking for wholesome outlets for the energy
vtfi salvaged from the war effort.
Grand Saline has nothing to offer in the way of
wholesome entertainment and sport. Movies are a poor
substitute for a sport, especially .since the producers
are going “all-out” for sex “angles” and subtleties.
The time is very ripe for the revival of baseball—
the national pasttime. Everyone remembers back in
pre-war days when the “town-team” played another
“town-team” Sunday afternoon. The whole town turned
out and evertf mother and father knew’ where Junior
was. He was at the ball game! Nowadays, parents have
a “general” idea w’.here he or she is.
Ira L. Dillard is wanting to revive baseball in Grand
Saline. His intentions could be nothing but honorable.
Baseball is a clean sport. It is a builder of every at-
tribute for fine manhood and womanhood. Baseball
sportsmen, as such, are among every w’alk of American
life, and a person who is unsportsmanlike in a baseball
game is a cinch to be a poor sport in his own trade or
profession, and is hard to live down a name of “poor
•port.”
Dillard has the best wishes for success from this
department and will get its unqualified support if his
announced intentions are carried out.

was the result of a personal invitation

President Gilchrist on a recent <vi«it

confirming the invitation, and Gen-
eral Eisenhower’s reply was: “I will
certainly do my best to get there,"
and he authorized announcement of
