“. . . IF ONLY THERE WERE TIME”
The Metropolitan Museum of Art some time ago held a display
of contemporary art at which M2,000 was awarded to American sculp
tors, painters, and artists in allied fields.
The award for the best painting went to the canvas of an Illinois i
artist. It was described as “a macabre, detailed work showing a
closed door bearing a funeral wreath.” Equally striking was the;
work’s title: “That which I should have done, I did not do”.
Few of us could win an award for painting. Many of us would
not even attempt to produce a work of art. Yet there are so many
things in life that we would ao, we say, “if qnly there were lime:*
And so the years slip by and, with them, all our opportunities
for serving others, for doing good personally to those who need help.
Each day presents thousands of opportunities, large and small, for
reaching out to the world as far as we can. We have only to grasp
the chance. Any day is a good day to start, especially today!
“I must work the works of him that sent me. whilst it is day: the
night cometh, when no man can work.” (John 9:4)

Save Tax Headache* Next Year
There is no time like the pre-
sent to start a procedure that will
aid you with next year’s Jncome
tax calculations. That is to main-
tain a record of your income and
outgo. Such a record can be
simple and brief but it may save
vou tax dollars and many hours
of work in'filling out tax forms.
Theaverage man who works for
a wage or salary doesn’t have to
concern himself about keeping
books and records—at least so he
thinks. His employer keeps a
reliable record of his earnings and
Uncle Sam looks nrimarily to the
employer for information on his
earnings and for the withholding
of various taxes out of his wages.
But whether or not you run a
business of your own, you have a
partner who each year is claiming
a substantial interest in your per-
sonal income. And tha law re-
quires that you keep books for him
in case he ever asks for an ac-
counting.
Perhaps you own your home or
are paying it out in installments.
It’s likely that some day you may
sell that house. When you do
you'll want to be able to prove
whether you realized a gain or a
loss on that sale. If a gain in
capital resulted, it probably will
add to your income tax. If a
loss was suffered, it probably will
reduce your income tax.
You may have made certain
capital improvements on the house
while you lived in it, but unless
you can show what out-of pocket
expense you incurred while mak-
ing them, you may not get credit
for them in your cost bafis so as
to prove that you had no capital
gain

SOMETHING FOR NOCONA TO
THINK ABOUT
KIPLINGER'S yeor-end letter, which foresees the America
of tomorrow after exhaustive surveys and which was thorough-
ly reviewed at last week's Rotary meeting by Dr. Charles A
Lindsey (Covered in last week's Nocona News), is primarily
a national survey of national interest, but it included a hidden
fact which is, or should be, of prime interest to Nocona. This
interest is found in that part of the letter which points out the
Standing of states in growth.
It is significant that this national survey shows that Texas
is the eleventh fastest growing state of the 48. Florida is
first, but it would be interesting to know how much of Florida's
growth can be attributed to retired persons who prefer year-
oround summer climate and how much of it is due to indus-
trial expansion from the north and east to the southland. It
is significant, too, to Nocona, that neighboring Arkansas is
losing population and neighboring Oklahoma is "lagging."
What does this mean compared to Texas being in eleventh
place as a growing state? It means only one thing. Texas
is on the ma’-ch. It is growing faster than such *'elderly"
states as Ohio and Indiana. Surprisingly, lagging states in-
clude Pennsylvania, New Yoik, Wisconsin, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Illinois and eleven others.
Observant Texans did not need this report to point out to
them the industrial possibilities of the Lone Star state. One
by one, great industries of the north ond east have been mov-
ing to, or opening branches in Texas. The comparatively
new General Motors assembly plant at Arlington is an out-
standing example.
What does all this mean to Nocona? It means that No-
cona will not have any opportunity to share in Texas' growth
without having an adequate water supply, which we do not
have. So long as a community like Nocona does not become
a community of people united for the number one essential
for industrial growth, just so long will that community con-
tinue to dwindle in size and prestige. We are already on
record as having killed one proposal for more water by a
record voter turnout brought about by one reason or another.
How much longer ore we going to continue to vote Nocona
out of the progressive picture which is today's Texas?
'Texans generally accept the Texas Almanac as a book
of facts. Let us look at the last issue. The almanac shows
that Texas' population in 1900, or 57 years ago, was 3,000,-
000; by 1910 it was 4,000,000; by 1920 it was almost 5,-
. 000,000; by 1930 it was 6,000,000; by 1940 it was almost
7,000,000, and by 1950 it was close to 8,000,000. The
1955 estimate is close to 9,000,000, and it is altogether pos-
sible that today it is actually more than 10,000,000, There
have not been that many babies born in Texas. This in-
crease has come from industries moving to the great south-
west and Texas is tomorrow's gateway to tomorrow's industrial
centers.
budget we have had in the history
of our country. *The staggering
size of the budget was both sur-
prising and disappointing. If
anything like the amount of
money the president requested is
appropriated, it will preclude any
possibility of any tax reduction.
There are many areas in which
the budget can be cut, and it is
my -hope that congress will see fit
to make substantial reductions.
In the budget message the pre-
sident also made many recommen-
dations for legislation, among
wHjch were the extension of the
coverage of the fair labor stand-
ards act (minimum wage), raising
of postol rates, the passage of
Jegislation that would free the pro-
ducers and gatherers of natural
gas of federal control* statehood
for Hawaii and^ Alaska, and a
continuance and in some areas an
increase in foreign aid.
The new senator from Texas,
William A. Blakley, arrived in
Washington this week. He has
made a very fine impression here.
There can be no doubt but what
he, during his stay in the Senate,
will render an outstanding service
to Texas and to the country.
Senator Blakley brings to the sen-
ate a wealth of experience in the
areas of the greatest concern to
Texas in that he is well acquainted
with the problems of agriculture,
the oil and gas industry, and busi-
ness generally.
Every four years at, inaugura-
tion time, the whole front of the
capitol is almost completely re-
modeled to provide seats for the
spectators and an adequate ros-
trum for the president to be in-
ducted into office. The work
in making these changes for the
inauguration took almost six
months and will cost well over a !
million dollars. ' '

Grow up unto Him in all things. —Eph 4:15.
This is the car that's fresher and
friskier from its own special look to
the way it takes to the road.
Those words—sweet, smooth and sassy
—seem to fit this new Chevy right down
to its tubeless tires. In the first place, it
looks the part. It has a crisp, alert appear-
ance—as trim and functional as an
arrow. You can tell that the styling isn’t
just going along for the ride.
But the real clincher is the sweet and
solid Way CKevy takes to the road.

. HUDGENS ENDS RIDERS' CAPACITY
EVERY good wish is due Howard Hudgens, who has step-
ped aside as captain of the Chisholm Trail Riding club and
every good wish is also due his successor, Harold Crow, upon
whose shoulders has fallen the task of carrying on as success-
fully os his predecessor has done for almost five years. The
Chisholm Trail Riding club is one of Nocona's newest enter-
prises. It was established on what is commonly referred to i
os a "shoe string," yet it has brought considerable acclaim
to the city in various parts of Texas and Oklahoma.
This did not just happen. Credit for the acclaim which
the club won naturally belongs to all of the riders, but riders,
like all other groups, must have a leader. Howard Hudgens 1
has been that leader since the club was organized and he is ;
entitled to the community's applause for the contribution he ;
has made to today's Nocona. He and his riders have gone
a long way toward putting Nocona "on the map," so to speak,
and Nocona can expect that Mr. Crow will carry on where tht
first captain left off.
