By H. L. RYBURN
You often hear the expression
ir that there is not any mor*
gallant men. They tell us that
men will sit on a comfortable
seat on the bus or train and
read his paper and never notice
a lady standing by his seat hold-
ing two babies. Well, I can’t say
about the men, but I do know
that there are still some gallant
ladies left. I was at the ball game
last Tuesday night and 1 saw
MA. Pete Williams come in with
a nice comfortable chair, and be-
j lieve it or not, she didn’t sit
i down in the chair. She gave her
chair to an elderly man and sat
on the ground during the entire
game. And come to think of it, 1
Ido not remember seeing a man
[ive his chair to a lady. Men, is
it possible that we are slipping
cr.have we already slipped?
. like must UUla villages,
ade up mostly of older peo-
le. Many of these are living on
rn&ions. They live in these lit-
!e towns because they can live
sre cheaper. But did you ever
top and think that these people
few years ago were leaders in
heir churches and communities?
thafthey have grown old
elf are no longer able to get
Ut and work and earn money,
oey must live very simply and
ut every corner in order to make
nds meet. So they are forgotten
nd neglected. They just do not
ifit into our modern plans. So
(they seldom attend a church
rvice. In our little ttpvn not
ore than half of our people
ely ever go to church, and yet
hey are literally starving for
ove and spiritual food, but there
no place in our high-geared
rhurch programs /or them. When
|LHcy do go to church they re-
ceive very little spiritual food,
fe have so many programs and
jlans to talk iwer we have very
little time left for preaching the
real old fatshioned gospel Our
lollections go up but our attend-
ance grows smaller. Why not
'work our programs in one serv-
ice each Sunday and give the
jotheri over to nothing but songs,
prayers and preaching the gos-
pel? Let these people know that
it sVill be carried on .this way,
then get in your car and go bring
these people to church and carry
them home when the service
over. Let them know that you
ilove them and that you have
'real place foe them to serve
the church. They may not have
a tithe to put into the treasure,
but they could and would give
you a lot spiritually, and believe
me most of our churches are
spiritually bankrupt. Whv not
give this plan a trial'’ I know
these people; I talk to them; I
k,now what they want, and I
know what they need I am not
sking you to chance your way
f doing things, but I am asking
that you give these older people
break Let them have a real
lotive part in this one service
rach Sunday, and I fee! sure
at this condition prevails in
almost every church and com-
munity. We need these people in
„ur churches. We need their
lith; we need their co-oper-
ation; we need their prayers; we
Peed their fellowship; we need
yheir spiritual hold on God Why
jot give it a real trial’’ If we
:annot reach and enlist those
around ua, our people cannot
lelp but wonder if our high pow-
ered mission program really a-
mounts to very much, except to
pay a lot of people a big fat sal-
ary. Anyway, we do know that
our first and greatest responsi-
bility is our home, ehurch and
community.
In this sketch, I would like' hot sunshine,
to salute Mr, and Mrs. H. D.
Wynne. Mr. and Mrs. Wynne
have lived in the Kirvin com-
munity for many years. They
have proved themselves to be
good neighbors.to all of our peo-
ple. They are hard workers find
yet they always, have time to go
leg at Baylor Hospital. His many
friends here hope he may soon
be back home good as new.
Many of our farmers are poi-
soning cotton this week. They
report the weevils to be very
bad. They seem to thrive on this

Christians. They never get too
busy to attend church. Mr.
Wynne is a deacon in the Kirvin
Baptist Church and this.family
probably gives more- than any
other family in the community
'to its support. Mr. Wynne and
his son, Ellis, are some of the
counties most successful broiler
growers. They have about 14
large broiler houses and they
have made the business pay off.
The Wynnes have a beautiful
home and farm about one mile
east of Kirvin. They not only do
extensive farming, but they have
a fine herd of cattle as well. You
could not visit this home and
look at the well kept farm and
buildings without knowing that
people who are willing to work
and to take care of what they
make that can’t make good in
this community jf they are will-
ing to work and try. We are all
proud of this family and we are
glad to salute them To those
who will tell you that you can-
not get ahead any more by hard
work and being honest, take
them out to visit the Wynns.
They are also our most liberal
givers to all worthy causes. ’

BAIL IN CRIMINAL CASES
In the United States a defend-
ant in a criminal action is pre-
sumed to be innocoht until his
guilt is established beyond a rea-
sonable doubt. His guilt or in-
nocence is established at his trial
—not when he is arrested
With this concept in mind it is
nut hard to see whv the tight to
bail in criminal cases is guaran-
teed by the Constitution of the
United States, with the exception
of capital cases. A capital crime
is one which the punishment may
be death. In Texas murde.r trea-
son, rape and robbery with fire-
arms are capital offenses.
All prisoners are bailable in
Texas except where the proof
evident that a ipnpital offense
has been committed and it is
probable that a jury will assess
the death penalty.
An officer making an arrest is
required by law to take the ac-
cused promptly before a mag’*-

Mr and Mrs A L Harris went
to Dallas last Monday. Mr. Har-
ris will undergo surgery on his
Irate. It is the duty of the mag-
istrate to examine into the truth
of the accusation made. He de-
termines whether the accused
should be discharged or bailed or
held without bail. If bail is set
for the defendants, the magis-
trate must determine the amount.
The law provides a procedure
for reviewing these decisions be-
fore the Court of Criminal Ap-
peals.
When an accused is on bail
when his trial commences he has
the right to remain on bail dur-
ing the trial of his case. Where
the punishment of a defendant
has been assessed at confine-
ment in the penitentiary for 15
years or less the defendant has
the right to remain on bail pend-
ing the appeal of his case. If the
penalty is more than 15 years
the defendant is kept in custody
from the moment the jury re-
turns its verdict.
The Constitution nl=o says that
hail may not be set in excessive
amount. What is considered a
reasonable amount depends upon
the circum-tanees and the risk
involved. Bail must be set high
enough to assure the court and
the state that the person will not
run away, but will return and
submit to trial on the date set.
The judge usually will ask the
prosecuting attorney for a rec-
ommendation as to the amount
of bail. The acci'sed’s attorney
may then ask that the amount
recommended be reduced, giving
550,

WHAT IS A WIFE? ? ?
A wife is the girl you married. She likes flowers,
chocolates, smart clothes and going places as much as
the day you married her. If you can't give her these, a
kiss that says "I love you" will do.
A wife is a steam laundry, a house cleaning service,
a cook, a commissary and a lavatory attendant to your
babies. She is a mother, nurse, counselor and sock
darner. She is a detective and quickly locates the screw
driver that you left RIGHT THERE three weeks ago and
that the children have carried away.
A wife licks your wounds, bolsters your ego. and
has faith and persistence that makes you move moun-
tains. She is a safely valve when you must blpw off
steam at someone. She knows you as a small boy at
heart who has never grown up. and that when you have
” a cold, it. is much worse than when she has a cold.

Down Payments
Veterans purchasing h times
with the aid of GI loans will be
required to make a down pay-
ment of at least two per cent,
and the maximum time for re-
payment of loans will be set at
25 years, the Veterans Admin-
istration announced.
Similarly moderate credit re-
quirements are being placed in
effect by the Federal Housing
Administration for homes pur-
chased with FHA insured mort-
gages.
Since April 23, 1953 the VA
has had n omandatory down pay-
ment requirement, and the mort-
gage repayment period could
run as high as 30 years.
This action, VA said, was tak-
en after a thorough study of na-
tional economic conditions, es-
pecially those prevailing in hte
residential construction and the
mortgage financing fields. The
new requirements are expected
to help protect prospective GI
loan applicants against increas-
ed prices of homes, over-exten-
sion of credit and financial risks,
Further, they should tend to
stabilize the mortgage market by
eliminating the 30 vear no down
pavmont loan which currently is
being traded at widening dis-
count margins.
The new requirements are not
retroaetive. They are nut appli-
I cable to purchase of homes for
| which VA has issued certificates
1 of reasonable value prior to July
30 or in cases where requests for
annraisals actually have been re-
| reived in VA offices prior to
I Julv 30.
Also, the requirements will not
aoplv to GI loans made solely for
the replacement or reconstruction
| of residential property that has
1 beep destroyed or substantially
damaged by flood, fire, or other
similar eatastrophies, nor to re-
pair. alteration or improvement
