Moovi r says it a "a dutlnct threat’* to "the security snJ w*ll-

Unfortunately, says Hoover, many robberies, burglaries and larceny
eases are being committed by young people—"boys and girls who
should be training to be our leaders of tomorrow.”
Now the FBI chief warns: ' The tune has come
for every American to slop and take stock' of this
venous situation. Cnme thrives on our mistakes,
weaknesses and lurk of interest.
'The challenge is before us—we as a nation
must roll un our sleeves anil work together in a
united crusade. Crime is everybody's business. To
think otherwise !» to abet the evil we abhor.”

can rats in control of Congress in next year's election even if President
Elsenhower reeks a second term and wins re-election.
The Democrats say that, barring some unexpected upswing in OOP

Senate and at least hold their advantage In the House.
Behind this Democratic optimism te the thinking that while Preai-

We have a little squib this
week we want to present to our
readers, especially to those who
get a bit discouraged, once In a
while, to help bolster their spirit
when the "Oolng Oets Toukh",
Or, maybe we should say when
they "think” the going gets
tough.
It is entitled “Don’t Olve Up"
and was presented to us by
Mayor William O. Yarborough.
Here It U:
DON’T GIVE UP
When things get tough, when
the companies reject your busi-
ness; when collections fall off
and company balances are over-
due: when your feet start tb
drag . . . Just perk up . . . think
of all the setbacks ABRAHAM
LINCOLN' had before he finally
reached the top . . . Here are
some of them:

A news story from Shawnee,
Oklahoma, says: "Bobbie Jea-
nette Blackburn, junior, from
Wllburton, Is among the 125
Oklahoma Baptist University
students who qualified for the
Dean’s Honor Roll for the spring
semester. 1955, Dr. L. E. Solo-
mon, dean and registrar, has
announced.
"To qualify for the Dean's
Honor Roll, a student must have
been enrolled In not less than
12 hours of academic work and
have made at least an average
of B on all work, with no grade
below’ C."
Bobble Is the daughter of Mr
and Mrs. R. O. Blackburn and
finished high school here In
Ooldthwaite and then attended
both Tarleton State College and
Howard Payne before moving to
Wllburton. Oklahoma.
Louie Jones Is the only man
left In the city of Ooldthwaite
who owns a span of mules—at
least that la how speculation
has It. There was a time when
several men with their teams
of horses, or span of mules, were
kept busy In towns the size
of ours. That time seems to have
passed by. No there Isn't enough
demand for that type of work
■me
about
to keep one man with his mules
busy very much of the time. In
fact Louie says: "They keep
and my mules working at
three months of the year—
»PrlnK and fall, and lhat’e all.
nevertheless Mr. Jones Is proud
of hls mules and gives them the
best of caw. Maybe better than
the best, at that. One day when
he was asked whether hls mules
^ Rood and fat he replied*
certainly do. They jet
their three meals per day whe-
ther Louie eats regular or not.”
