Lions Club Resolutions A* JJJgJJ■ IJf1""™
Study Of Drouth Conditions F0R L R_ GANN
Bill Heatly, chairman of the
Lions Chamber of Commerce
Committee read a set of resolu-
tions which were adopted by the
Paducah Lions Club at the noon-
day meeting, today, Thursday.
The resolutions recommended
that the Federal Government
make a study of conditions in
Cottle county in regard to the
drouth here. A copy of the reso-
lutions found below, was mailed
to Governor Allan Shivers and
Congressman Walter Rogers.
“We, as members of; the Lions
Club and Chamber of Commerce
Committee of said civic club, re-
spectively submit the following
resolution:
“Whereas, we are experiencing
an extensive four-year drought,
now in its most severe stage, in
our area, with rainfall for the
past twelve months being only
8.70 inches, as compared with
the normal rainfall of some 23
inches. Said drouth has created
a most critical emergency situa-
tion for our stockmen and farm-
ers, most of whom are without
funds and without feed and
practically without market. Said
drouth condition i has caused
our stock in this area to become
poor and weak and the market
for them is very, very low. A
large portion of said stock is
covered with a chattel and the
market price lacks considerable

THRIPS AND
ARMY WORMS
ON INCREASE
Field inspections by Entomolo-
gist George Davis and County
Agent Kirby Clayton on Monday
of this week indicate that thrips
and army worms are on the in-
crease on irrigated cotton.
Thrips are rather heavily in-
festing some fields of cotton
while others are only lightly in-
fested. This tiny insect lives on
the sap of the plant, thus taking
the nutrients necessary for
growth away from it, causing a
stunted and delayed fruiting of
the crop. Army worms are heav-
ily damaging a few fields at the
present time and can be expect-
ed in other fields where the cot-
ton is green enough to attract
moths. All fields should be
watched closely for these pests,
and control measures carried
out if warranted. Farmers are
asked to consult “Guide for Con-
trolling Cotton Insects” for con-
- trol measures of these pests. The
“Guide” is available at the
County Agent’s office
Fewer aphids or plant lice
were observed Monday ttian the
"eel before. A few red spiders
were found, but not enough to
be alarmed about at present.
“If you plan to carry out an
early Reason program there are
only two weeks left for the auto-
matic treatments,” Clayton said.
Anolications of three-fourths lbs.
of toxaphene applied at seven-
day intervals from now until
June 25 is recommended for most
irrigated farms where cotton is
up to the 4-6 leaf stage. If cot-
ton is infested with army worms,
the application should be dou-
bled. No poisoning for early
season should be done after
June 25 unless infestation is se-
vere This will allow a build-up
of beneficial insects to combat
the boll worms and other harm-
ful insects which may come
along at that time, Clayton
pointed out.
Top 4-H Dairy Team
Continues To Hold
Practice Judgings
Holding its second practice
judging Saturday since winning
district championship at
Midwestern University, Wichita
Falls, the local 4-H dairy judg-
ing team continues to prepare
for state competition at A&M,
June 25.
The four boys, who came out
top among the 22 counties of
extension district 3, work on
their judging points each week-
end in the office of County Ag-
ent Kirby Clayton or at Thomp-
son’s Dairy here.
Members of the team are Rey-
nath Whitener, Kenneth Buck-

LYNCH WHEAT
TEST? 66 LBS.
PER BUSHEL
Although Cottle county’s
wheat yield this year is very
poor and way below normal, T.
A. Lynch, of the Delwin com-
munity, brought in some of the
heaviest—per bushel—ever pro-
duced in the county.
Cy Wright of the Wright-
Hageman Grain Co., who ran the
test couldn’t believe it himself
until he ran a second test—
which showed 66 lbs. to the
bushel. T. T. Millican and “Red”
Leathers also witnessed and
verified the test.
Lynch harvested around six
bushels per acre of the Early
Kansas Black Hull variety of
wheat from the 40-acre plot.
A check with the Wright-Hage-
man and Fish Elevators reveals
eight carloads of wheat has been
shipped from Paducah; however,
approximately that amount has
gone into storage, according to
grain men.
Harvesting of the county’s
“very light” wheat crop is enter-
ing the final phases this week.
WHEATACREAGE
ALLOTMENT FOR
NEW FARMS SET
Farmers on land on which no
wheat was seeded for any of
the years 1951, 1952 and 1953,
may apply for a 1954 wheat ac-
reage allotment, according to R.
J. Tucker, Chairman of the Cot-
tle County Production and Mar-
keting Administration Commit-
tee. To be considered for an al-
lotment on a farm which had
no wheat seeded for any of these
years, the farmer must apply in
writing to his county PMA com-
mittee by June 30, 1953.
Blank application forms are
available at the county PMA
office for use in filing requests
for allotments.

IN OKLAHOMA
Betty Aulds, 14, was one of two
teen-age girls injured in an auto
accident near Sulphur, Oklaho-
ma, Wednesday. They said they
had run away from their homes
in Paducah and Whiteflat.
Dorothy Nell Plyler, 15, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Plyler,
Whiteflat, was the other. They
were injured when the car in
which they were driving went
off state highway 12 south of
Sulphur and overturned several
times.
Betty, who has been living
in the home of her siser, Mrs.
Wesley Gibbs, in Paducah, suf-
fered only minor bruises. Her
associate had lacerations on the
head and shoulder.
Her father, W. J. Aulds, Here-

left" this area last Thursday.
Saturday they were traced to
Springfield, Mo., where they
were looking for Dorothy Nell’s
sister, who was scheduled to
work in a hospital there.
Hospital authorities there said
a boy about 18 years old had
accompanied them. According to
officers, the girls were apparent-
ly driving back toward their

SUMMER BAND
CLASSES ARE
ORGANIZED
Summer band classes were or-
ganized and practice got under-
way June 1 in the junior and
senior band groups, W. H.
Adams, instructor, announces,
More students are needed in
both groups in order that band
music may be worked on, Ad-
ams pointed out.
Classes for beginners will be
organized in two groups—one for
students in grades four, five and
six, and one for grades seven
and up. Anyone wishing to start
in band should contact Mr.
Adams at the band room any
morning, and also Friday even-
ing after 7:30. Many students
are needed in both groups, and
those in the grade seven and
up group could be eligible for
the high school band this fall.
Also plans are underway for a
twirling school to be held in
August. Anyone wishing to take
up baton twirling should contact
Mr. Adams for additional infor-
mation about the time and cost
of classes.
The city of Paducah needs a
good band, but the only way to
have one is to‘get school stu-
dents into the study of instru-
mental music, because without
members there can be no band.
Adams urges those interested
in the band to contact him. He
asks for enrollment in the class-
es tomorrow, Friday, so instru-
ments may be obtained, assign-
ed and practice may be started
by Monday of next week.

OFFICERS IN
WRECK GOING
TO HUNTSVILLE
Sheriff Elmer Clark and Texas
Ranger Charley Miller were in-
volved in a traffic accident 10
miles east of Corsicana Friday at
5 p.m. while taking a prisoner to
the state penitentiary at Hunts-
ville.
Clark was thrown forward by
the impact and his cheek bone
fractured. Otherwise the three oc-
cupants escaped uninjured from
the incident.
Their captive was Raymond Ad-
ams who was convicted of burg-
larizing Hanks Bros. Food Store.
Clark had picked him up on his
release from a California prison
earlier in the week.
Miller was driving behind a
string of cars approaching the
Richland Springs bridge when
the vehicles ahead slowed in
front of a highway department
“at work” sign.
The right front brake grabbed
when Miller applied the pedal
and Clark’s ’53 Chevrolet coupe
swung sharply. Another car
struck its rear fender and it
smashed into the first bridge
post.
School Outing
Accident Fatal
To Horace Fields
Horace M. Fields Jr., 15, passed
away at the DeLeon Hospital of
cerebral concussion, June 4. The
youth was a former resident of
Chalk community and attended
Paducah schools until the family
moved to DeLeon in 1948.
While on a school outing two
weeks previous to his death,
Fields fell and injured his head.
Although it wa- -ippaxently only
a superficial *bruise, he tracked
out while swimming June 3.
Friends rescued him from the
water and restored breathing
with artificial respiration. He
died the following day, how-
ever, and an autopsy revealed
that his skull was cracked, pro-
bably in the earlier accident.
The eldest son of Horace and
Edythe Bentley Fields, he was
born December 24, 1937. Young
Fields was converted May 21,
1950, and baptized a member of
the First Baptist Church in De
Leon May 31, 1950.
Funeral services were held in
the De Leon Baptist Church, June
5, conducted by Rev. T. J. Spark-
man'. Interment was in the De
Leon Cemetery.
Survivors include: his parents;
three brothers, Terry, Maurice
and David; one sister, Martha
Jo; grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
E. J. Bentley, Arlington.
Active pallbearers were: Stan-
ley Sharp, Doyle O’Neil, Don
Coan, Charles Walker, C. L. Mo-
hon III, Eddie Henson, Gene
Skaggs and Chester Norton.
Members of his Boy Scout troop
were honorary pallbearers.
Mesdames Garland Bell, Boss
Whatever the complaints from
visitors and passers - through
about the quality and taste of
Paducah’s renowned gyp water,
the city has managed to keep
residents well supplied with it.
A great many municipalities
in Texas are forced to resort to
water rationing every time a
dry wind blows. Although the
local government has had to ask
Paducahians to cut down once or
twice, the instances have been
rare.
Now there are nine wells sup-
plying water here. The system
is capable of 777,600 gallon ca-
pacity in 24. hours, according to
Water Superintendent Andrew
Carroll.
Largest amount of water used
in a single 24-hour period this
year has been 730,000 gallons
with 740,000 the maximum used
during one day in 1952.
The storage capacity of Padu-
cah’s system is 330,000 overhead
and 285,000 underground gallons,
Carroll says. These facilities
have easily handled the town’s
consumption of an average 675,-
000 gallons daily during the past
two weeks.
So, in spite of the fact last
year’s rainfall fell far short of
its 24.11 inch average with only
16.32, and it has rained only
3.40 in 1953, Paducah people will
probably get plenty of household
water every time they turn a
faucet.
REV. SAMEJIMA
FROM JAPAN
SPEAKS HERE
Methodist Men, at their regu-
lar monthly breakfast meeting
Wednesday morning, church ed-
ucational building, heard one of
of the most impressive and out-
standing programs of Ihe year.
Rev. Afaijritaka Sarr.^jima pre-
sident the iarnei Cb, istian
school, Giiinzei Gakuin, Nagasa-
ki, Japan, who has been in Ame-
rica the past seven weeks, told
of some of his experiences while
touring the United States, and
also told of his work as presi-
dent of Chinzei Gakuin.
Rev. Samejima was in Abilene
recently to attend the Methodist
Northwest Texas Annual Confer-
ence. He is speaking to a num-
ber of Methodist Churches in
this conference. He spoke at
Childress Monday night and
Tuesday night at Vernon. Rev.
James E. Tidwell, Wilmer Wil-
son and Claude Estes were in
Vernon, Tuesday, to hear Rev.
Samejima, and to invite him to
speak in Paducah.
Chinzei Gakuin was founded
in Nagasaki in 1881 by Dr. C. S.
Long, a missionary from Ame-
rica. With the explosion of the
atomic bomb, Chinzei’s build-
ings, and a large number of its
teachers and students were de-
stroyed. Feeling the need for a
Christian influence in rural Ja-
pan, the school was moved to
Isahaya which is the center of a
large rural area, and began re
AL HINDS
Johnson, G. F. West, E. D. Ma-1 building. With the help of many
han, Gaston Campbell, Cecil i friends in America, Rev. Same-
Short, W. W. Kirk, Lloyd Coan,
Pauline Morgan, Ralph Terrill
and Coy Otwell were flower
bearers.
Sharp-Nabors Funeral Home
was in charge of arrangements.
CALVIN BROOKS
GETS GOOD
WATER WELL
The prolonged drouth is caus-
ing a number of Cottle county
farmers to search for that pre-
cious liquid, “water,” and to
date the county has 15 irrigation
wells in operation.
The latest of these is on the
Calvin Brooks farm two miles
east of town. Brooks brought in
a well Wednesday which tested
around 800 gallons per minute
on a 6-inch pump. The 168 ft.
well is producing a good qual-
ity of water. He states he will
use the water for irrigation pur-
poses.
Recently Loyd Mayes also
brought in an irrigation well on
his farm east of the Calvin
Brooks farm. The 122 ft. well
tested around 500 gallons per
minute on a 6-inch pump.
BRUSH FIRE
Firemen answered a call Wed-
nesday night around 8:30 o’clock
to extinguish a brush pile fire
near the water storage tank,
west part of town.
jima said the school had come a
long way toward re-establishing.
The school attracts mostly the
poor, young Hebrew Japanese
and more than 20 ministers have
come out of the school since it
was established.
Rev. Samejima plans to return
to Japan around Christmas of
this year.
Major Robinson
Back From Korea
Major Jack Robinson Jr., son
of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Robinson,
of this city, arrived in Lubbock,
last Thursday, from Korea where
he has just completed a tour
of duty with the 5th Air Force.
Major and Mrs. Robinson and
their two children, Paul and Kar-
en, remained in Lubbock with
Mrs. Robinson’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Rea, through Monday, prior
to coming to Paducah. Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Robinson joined their
son and family in Lubbock last
Friday for a visit.
While overseas, Major Robin-
son was awarded the Bronze Star
Medal. After a 25-day leave in
Texas, the family will go to
Montgomery, Ala., where Major
Robinson is to attend the Field
Officers course of Air Command
and Staff School.
Last Thursday was the first
time for the Major to see his six-
week-old daughter. He made the
trip home in record time, leav-
ing Korea on June 1, and arriv-
ing in Lubbock June 4. All of
June 2 was spent in Tokyo.
The Prattle column is gradu-
ally becoming of age as it. be-

Passing another milestone it

the very fine way the column

A good opportunity to teach

Old gardeners never die; they
just spade away. — Leader,
Bridgeport, 111.
—o—
Leave it to these modern-
day youngsters to come up with
some very good answers. Recently
a little three-year-old tot had
been out of one difficulty into
another. The mother found it
necessary to issue several repri-
mands, one of which had to be
a little severe. “If we don’t be
careful, Mommy,” the little girl
reminded, “the tears will run
down my face and make it all
wet.”
—o^—
A long-time Cottle county resi-
dent, and very much respected
citizen, said recently, “have ap-
preciated your political stand all
along, Prattler, keep giving
those Republicans h-ll.’? We in-
tend to my friend, we intend
to!
Following one of our columns
not long ago a died-in-the-wool
Republican kinda’ poked fun at
this scribe, when he popped-off
and said that our view points
carried very little weight in the
political picture. Maybe not but
check the records and they whli
show Cottle county last fall went
Democratic three-to-one, when
most of the counties in the state
were going Republican. The Post
has been, is now and will con-
tinue in the future a Democratic
paper.
Did you know that oil accounts
for about $1.3 billion or about
54 per cent of the total value of
production of the oil wells, farms
and ranches of West Texas?
It was in the old days when
whale oil was used in lamps, that
the man of the house looked up
from his paper to remark, “It says
here, my dear, that it will not
be long before oil from petro-
leum will have entirely replac-
ed whale oil for lighting.” “Dear,
dear,” said the wife sympathet-
ically, “Whatever will the poor
whales do then?”
“The lesson should be con-
stantly enforced that, though the
people support the government,
the government should not sup-
port the people.” Does that sound
like something that was said
yesterday? Actually, it was said
by President Grover Cleveland
76 years ago, in the course of ve-
toing a long-forgotten bill. The
principle which President Cleve-
land laid down was important
then. It is a thousand times
more important now. In the in-
tervening years many of us,
knowingly or otherwise, have
been infected with the virus of
government paternalism. We
have become accustomed to be-
ing supported, wholly or partly
by government. And that trend,
unless checked and reversed, can
end only in dictatorship, tyranny
and the destruction of all that
is courageous and adventurous
in the human spirit.
