the annual dinner of the Cham-
of Commerce. The occasion was
anally a home-coming for CoL Ray
infinan. of 8an Antonio, executive
Vice-president of the South Texas
Chamber of Commerce, who began
his career nearly 30 years ago as
manager of the Mineral Wells
Chamber of Commerce.
While there, I picked up this story
from Col. Bill Cameron of the In-
dex:
During the war, Texans at Camp
Wolters used the expression, “durn-
yankee” pretty freely, so a colonel
now!”

This will come as a surprise to
those who know me personally but,
at heart, I’m really modest.
It is embarrassing to me to have
a fuss made over me in public and
for people to come up and tell me
how much they have enjoyed my
books and ask for my autograph.
All this is very distressing—in
fact, there is only one thing that is
more distressing—and that is for
them not to do this.

Like the young lady during the
war. She was riding on a city ous
and she complained to a policeman
who was on the bus, “That Marine
over there is annoying me.” The po-
liceman replied, “Why, he hasn’t
said a word to you.” She said, “I
know; that’s what’s annoying me.”

Can you remember away back to
the early days of the automobile
when they were called "horseless
carriages?” A carnival came to town
and had a side show, with a sign,
25 Cents to See the Horseless Car-
riage.” Folks paid their quarters,
went in, came out and stood around
to watch their friends and neighbors
go in. Inside the tent was a buggy
drawn by mules!
Back in 1916 when your columnist
was “cub reporter” on the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, Vincent M.
Carroll was one of the ace members
of the staff.
Years went by—and I was editor
of the Ranger Times.
One day, the phone rang and it
was the advertising manager of the
Southwestern Bell Telephone Com-
pny, speaking in his office in Dallas.
He said, “Are you the same Boyce
House who used to work on the|
Commercial Appeal in Memphis,!
Tenness?” "Yes.” Well, do you
remember a man who was a report-
er, by the name of Carroll?”
“You mean Vince Carroll? Yes, I
remember him quite well.” Jo’
It flashed through my mind that j
Carroll was in Dallas, wanted to get ‘
a check cashed and had given me as
reference. I hoped the check wasn’t
a very large one. Of course, I didn’t
say any of this, just thought it.
The phone company official said,
“Just a moment; he’s here in the of-
fice and wants to speak to you.” So
we had a little chat and then the
original caller came back and I
asked, “What is Vince doing now?”
“Oh, he’s got a job with the phone
company; he’s our vice-president.
Yes, the years bring changes.
Awhile back, the news came that
life’s chapter had closed for Vince
Carroll. He was a fine chap.
