Don't Fence Yourself In
The Lone Troop No. 5 met
with their leaders at the Ciiy
Hall Monday, June 13, at 4:15
p.m.
Fifteen of the nineteen mem-
bers were present with a visi-
tor, Ethel Nollkamper.
The meeting opened with the
election of the flag bearer and
color guards. It was decided
that no one holding an office
in their patrol would only be
eligible for this office. Rose Ann
Kruse was elected by secret
ballot, flag bearer. Joyce Dean
Mueller of the Sweet Pea Pa-
trol was elected one color
guard and Clarice Huber of the
Busy Bees Patrol as the other
color guard.
The next election will be held
during the last meeting in No-
vember, 1949.
By a unanimous vote the
troop crest will be the
leaf.
Every spring, Handy Peterson
and Easy Roberts patch up the
stone wall that separates their
farms. They walk along talking—
Easy on one side, Handy on the
other—picking up the fallen stones
and putting them hack.
Afterwards, over a friendly
glass of beer, Easy says, “You
know, wall-mending is a nice neigh-
Ihorly custom, hut we really don’t
I need that wall. We keep it up just
; because it happens to be there.
| “Yes,” says Handy, “a lot of
walls and fences and boundaries
keep on separating people for no
gjfiJQsf_
_ _ h
good reason. Maybe we’d all be
better off if some of them were torn
down, instead of kept standing.”
From where I sit, Handy said a
mouthful. Take the “walls of in-
tolerance” that people build up
against each other. I like a tem-
perate glass of beer now and then,
you may prefer buttermilk—but
that’s no reason for me to criticize
you, or you, me. Let’s live and let-
live together—making more friends
and fewer “walls.” ,

Dysentery Causes
Death Of Many
Youngsters
Austin, Texas.—The summer
season always bi'ings an in-
crease in the incidence of dy-
sentary, diarrhea and enteritis,
all of which are major menaces
to the lives of small children,
annually causing the deaths of
hundreds of Texas youngsters.
The State Health Officer, Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, declares that the
chief cause of these intestinal
diseases are contaminated milk,
water or food: allowing the
child to get overheated or ex-
hausted; excessive sugar in the
infant’s formula, and foods that
have been improperly refriger-
ated.
“All foods should be clean
fresh, and all left-overs
be refrigerated so as to
void spoilage. The utmost care
should be used in preparing the
infant’s formula which should,
of course, be prescirbed by a
physician, and his recommenda-
tions as to sanitation precau-
tions and correct refrigeration
should be implicitly followed.”
The State Health Officer
warned parents especially of
the danger of disease transmis-

sion by flies. Children in any
home that is not free from flies,
are in danger of contracting dy-
sentery or other intestinal dis-
eases which may be fatal.
“If dysentery or diarrhea
symptoms appear in your child,
call your doctor immediately,”
Dr. Cox advises. “His treat-
, ment of the disease is your best
insurance against fatal results,
| since such diseases are really a
| very serious threat to the
j child’s life. Don’t depend on
| home remedies for diarrhea or
; dysentery; consult a competent
physician and let him institute
I the safest and best treatment
which medical science has
available, for combating these
: wasting diseases.”

AUSTIN, Texas, June 9: —
Dear Friends:—The Conference
Committees are working on the
appropriation bills to try to
work out the differences be-
• tween the House and Senate on
money matters. Just-as soon as
this job is finished we hope to
bring this session to a close.
This week I tried to pass a
bill which would have brought
Loan Sharks under the regula-
tion of the Banking Commission
of Texas. The evidence shows
that we have hundreds of these
outfits in Texas and that they
charge the borrower anywhere
from 200 to 400 per cent inter-
est on small loans. My bill pro-
vides that the Banking Depart-
ment would examine these con-
cerns and if they charge more
than the 10 per cent authorized
by our Constitution they would
have their permits to do busi-
ness in Texas cancelled. Since
banks are already regulated in
this way they are exempt in my
bill. Ninety per cent of these
loan companies are owned by
people who do not live in Tex-
ajs. Of course the people who
have been fleeced by these
racketeers did not come to Aus-
tin to support this bill. But
the Loan Sharks were here in
droves — with high-powered
lawyers representing them. We
missed passing the bill by only
one vote. I feel that this fight
has been worthwhile and if ws
keep trying we can make these

CHEVROLET
BUILDER OF THE
NATION’S GREATEST
TRUCK VALUE
V CHEVROLET^
There’s a Chevrolet truck for every delivery
or hauling job—-with capacities from 4,000
lbs. to 16,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight.
If what you want is the truck that will deliver
the most for the money—then what you
want is a Chevrolet truck. If what you want
is sterling quality, outstanding load capacity
and performance with power plus economy-
then you’re dead right in choosing a Chev-
rolet truck. And if you want all these
advantages at lowest cost, you definitely
want Chevrolet, for only Chevrolet trucks
have 3-WAY THRIFT—lower cost oper-
ation and upkeep and the lowest list prices
in the entire truck field!
racketeers frdm the East get
right or get (put of the state.
| Thirty-six staftes have already
passed laws similar to the one
which i was trying to pass, so
the high-rate loan sharks are
finding Texas a Paradise—all
because we cannot regulate
them properly.
The Senate has passed a bill
outlawing secret societies, so-
rorities, and fraternities in the
high schools of Texas. These
organizations have been giving
school people a lot of trouble in
many places.
The Senate has passed a bill
authorizing the Board"'of Re-
gents of Texas University to
establish a new medical school
in Texas. There was an attempt
made to amend this law to re-
quire that a new Doctor would
practice in a town of under 5,-
000 population for a period of 5
years after graduation. This
amendment was not adopted.
The Soil Conservation bill
has been passed by the Senate.
The House set the amount of
funds r fob soil conservation at
$5,000,000 for the next two
years. The Senate raised the
amount to ten million.
Yesterday the Senate passed
a bill requiring a standard fish-
ing license if the fisherman uses
artificial lures or live bait. It
does not apply to fishermen us-
ing worms, nor does it apply if
a person fishes in his home
county. It also exempts persons,
under 17 yetars of age.
Since my last report to you
the Senate has had two local
and uncontested bill days.
About 200 bills have been
passed in this manner. These
bills deal With local matters
such as hunting, fishing, and
trapping in certain counties,
also the creation of local road
districts, etc.
The Senate has also passed
the Youth Development Coun-
cil bill which would set up
council of various state officials
to take children and try to
make good citizens out of them
instead of pending them to the ./
Reformatory. If this council
fails to saVe them they would
go to the Jleform School, but'
this would he only as a last re-
sort. i
The Old ^A g e Assistance T
Amendment^ to raise the 35 mil-
lion dollar Veiling on pensions 1
is in a Conference Committee '
now. The House passed this
Constitutional Amendment first
then the Senate placed some
| limitations , in it. When the
House refused to accept the
Senate Amendments, the Con-
ference Committee was estab-
lished to w<prk out an agree-
ment.
I certainly' hope to be back ■
home with my family in. the
very near future. Best regardsij
to all.
Sincerelv,
GUS J. STRAUSS
