BY THE WAY
— By: Walter Maine —
If there Is nothing else, then
walking is good for a "sound
mind in sound body.” One rests,
eats, sleeps and even thinks
better then. This is no less true
for the ladies, many suffering
not a little from the lack of
exercise.
to n an
One day it's summertime and
the next day icy wintertime.
All because of what those icy
northerns bring us. Are not
those sudden changes causing
so much sickness?
to to to
Those Panthers and others
like them want not only the
civil rights and equality. They
would also destroy our whole
life as free people, as also the
Reds want.
a a H
Senator Yarborough is real-
a good boy of the big uni«n
bosVs. He did for them evi-
dently everything they want-
ed. Of course, it was’ not for
nothing.
m wu to
But most of the farmers in
Texas, too, are gone, and more
still going. How many farms
are idle now? Or is it good for
cur towns and state? But did
Senator Yarborough even move
a finger about it?
to to to
It is not enough for us just to
be against communism. Above
all is needed to be against our
own evils which only invite com-
munism. And mere words, too,
are not enough.
to to in
Is anything worse facing us
than that more than 20 million
farm people were piled up in
big cities? Were not those riots
sufficient, warning? Of what
good is understanding too late?
m uu to
We may be inactive to protect
ourselves. But are communists,
too, inactive to undermine us
as free people? Does not with
our freedom go also the res-
ponsibility to protect this free-
dom? Or do communists give
another chance to their victims?
A Bitter Troth
Truth is not always popular and welcomed, es-
pecially to those to whom it is a bitter truth. They
prefer rather o escape it than face it. Thus many wrong
things happen.
This obove all the constant drive for more money
and less work. It connot have any other effect than in-
crease the prices anl taxes. The inevitable consequences
are already evident in the record inflation.
President Nixon is reported as intending to do
something about this inflotion and its causes. Why
should garbage men get more money than teachers anl
other educated classes? Either this will be controlled
or it will wreck this country. Any other prospect from
inis record inflation?

Just what legal right have
thosc unions to demand a boy-
cott against grapes and other
products of those farmers the
uni»n is striking against?
Whce then Is any freedom
for those farmers?
H h »
Or is the freedom here only
for the strikers? Can they even
kill one who is in their way,
like Jablonski was even with
his wife and daughter?
M to
Or is it not up to all people
whether or not they want to
join any union or any organiza-

terrorized if they don’t do what
someone wants? Where is any
such concern about the smail
farmers?

Not only in Vietnam but any

Not only there but every-

it not what Czechoslovakia
also shows? What else can we

either fight or go down?
But there are many commun-
ists or pro-communists also in
those civil rights trouble-

ing something better? Is that
why so many are glad to es-
cape to this country?
Is there anv other way for
any people to get ahead than
education and a sincere strug-

not so many colored people al-

The Main Cause
It is estimated that perhaps most of the burglaries
and holdups in this country, which frighten the people,
ore the work of drug addicts, who need money.
Tor example, to supply a heroin habit the addict
needs from $50 to $60 in cash a day, or ten times that
amount in stolen merchandise. Hence the holdups and
store robberies.
Just as the heavy drinking habit is responsible for
so many auto wrecks and deaths. So dangerous are
such habits. Yet it seems more of it today than ever,
as Ihe wrecks and crimes show.
In Christian Civilization
If we believe in religion it's also because we live
in a Christian civilization, and so we also know that
there is more in this life than this ordinary every-dav
life.
By going to church we also serve this higher pur-
pose. And by believing in Divinity, we also believe in
humanity. As also conclude Christopher Dawson in his
outstanding book "Formation of Christendom":
Throughout history we are always finding similar
situations in which the enemies of Christianity - - -
are also the enemies of humanism - - -"
- - not least today when the main attack on
Christianity comes from Communism and other forms
of secular totalitarianism, oil of which protest their
devotion to the cause of humanity, but which in practice
treat human beings ruthlessly as expendable mater-

T. L. Ednjortdson, District
Conservationist paints out that
deferment for native rangeland
is a much needed conservation 1
practice on over 200.000 acres
in the DeWitt County Soil and
Water Conservation District.
Livestock operators sometimes
find it difficult to provide need-
l’d rest periods to their range-
land for various reasons. Ad-
vance planning, in most cases,
will enable the operator to rest
his native grass for 3 months
or more during the growing
period of native grasses. “Some
of the things to do," points out
Edmondson," are as follows:
1. Establish adapted grasses
on retired cropland, fertilized,
in sufficient acreage to provide
grazing for stock through the
summer months so that native
grasses may be rested during
the growing season.
2. Adequately fertilize the pas-
ture of adapted grasses on crop-
land.
3. Provide additional watering
facilities, if needed, as well as
additional cross fencing."
Soil Conservation Service per-
sonnel are available tq help in
planning complete conservation
programs for all land uses.

The ASCS offers ACP cost-
share payments for cross fenc-
ing to divide pastures, for con-
structing ponds and wells, and
installing pipelines for livestock
water as a means of protect-
ing vegetative cover.

with deer and more recently
with a wildcat trophy. But those
oldfading prints are usually the
ones best remembered since
they bring back memories of
grandparents and aunts and
uncles and cousins at a time
when vo'ine minds were im-
pressed most.
These include pictures of her
g:andpa Brewer and grand-
daughter taken in 1925 and cou-
sins and uncles she had never
seen, including uncle Jim Brew-
er. Then there's aunt and uncle
Leo Herms, a picture of her
mother and Mrs. Minnie Boone
when her mother was eighteen
and Mrs. Boone a lively 20
years, and a picture of brother
Jimmie Bradley along with his
cousins.
Most cherished is the picture
Mrs. Wenzel has when he was
fourteen with her mother and
brother. Her mother married
again in Sept, of 1911 to Mr.
J. J. Boone. Mrs. Wenzel was
born al Grandpa Tom Brewer's
who w’anted her to come and
live with them when she
was 18, but Mr. Brewer passed
away on Feb. 14. 1927. Poor
Grandpa Brewer has been gone
a long lime, but will never be
forgotten. Also interesting are
pictures of her daddy. Sam
Bradley, whom she never knew.
But more recently it's a 38th
wedding anniversary picture
with her groom of all those
years and numerous pictures
of fox. deer and wildcat hunts.
But like most picture albums,
a family history is recorded ih
pictures of persons and places
one holds dear in mmeory. Mrs.
Wenzel said she loves to go

tion and invites her neighbors
to join her out at her home on
