Sealy has a Mrs. Wilson, ano
friends who had not seen her

got several requests for cigars.
Brookshire, too, has a Mrs.
Wilson, and her husband’s name
also is Dan. Mrs. Dan Wilson,

other at John Krchnak’s Ste-

•Hi TEXAS DISTRICT
On the Road Home.
27 August 1953
Pear Neighbors:
The wheat farmers have vot-
ed overwhelmingly to have allot-
ments for the next crop year.
This means price supports,
without which the price of
wheat would surely take a nose
dive.
Cotton farmers will face the
same decision soon. Do you, or
don’t you want acreage control,
allocations, allotments, and all
that goes with the program—
including price supports?
Every once in a while we hear
someone say that our farm pro-
gram should be thrown over-
board, and “something better”
be substituted for it. When I
hear this sort of thing, I al-
ways ask what the something
better” is. Up to now, no one
has shown be anything better
that will work.
I am open-minded on farm le-
gislation, and on any other le-
gislation for that matter; and
I always listen to suggestions 1 ice.—Times?
as to how it can be i~7-----J
but up to this hour, I haven’t
heard of such a 1 ‘
vague talk that we must not
regiment our farmers, or social-
ize them—whatever that means.
You can’t make a socialist of a
man by helping him to own his
own farm and to make a good
living on it.
Let’s take a long lock at peo-
ple who would change a
gram which, with all of
faults, is working out to the
advantage of ourserves and the
Nation. Let’s first be sure that
they are our proven friends and
then that they have something
really better to offer.
Travelling through the coun-
try, I note that there are plen-
ty of tourist courts available,
I have seen fewer “no vacan-
cy" signs than in many years.
Just why folks are not moving
around as they used to, you can
figure as well as I. How’ever, if
you have the money to take a
trip, maybe this is a good time
to do it.
About the time you are read-
ing this letter, I should be ar-
riving in Texas. The months
from now until our next ses-
sion of Congress in January will
be very busy ones, with sever-
al thousand miles of driving
from place to place in the Ninth
District, and many thousand
people to see. Some are pleased
to call these months at home a
“vacation.” Actually there is
far more to be done than when
I am in Washington. To me it
is nek only the busiest, but by
far the best part of my job. I
like people, and I like to visit
with them, to help where I am
needed, and to draw’ on the folks
for whom I w’ork for advice and
encouragement.
I expect to be in your County
sometime soon. If you have
things to talk over with me,
write me in Galveston so we can
be sure to get together. My ad-
dress is: 405 Post Office Build-
ing. Galveston, Texas; telephone
34588.
Sincerely your friend,
CLARK W. THOMPSON.

The old Texas Motor Vehicle
Inspection Law died Tuesday at
midnight after a somewhat tur-
bulent existence.
The measure, which saw heat-
ed debate in the last session of
the Legislature, has been replac-
ed by a modified version which
calls for the inspection of auto
brakes, lighting equipment,
horns, rear view mirrors and
. - , - - -■ windshield wipers. It becomes
pany, signed by H. V. Townley, effective Wednesday, but Homer
* _ Qarrjgon, jr . Director of the
Texas Department of Public
Safety, has announced that the
State Public Safety Commission
has officially set the new inspec-
jeriod for September 15,
through April 15, 1954.
George Busby, Chief of the
Motor Vehicle Inspection Divi-
sion of the Department of Pu-
blic Safety, has said that there
will be about 3,000 inspection
stations ready to operate on the
opening date.
“Trained mechanics who are
well versed in the new law’ and
Its requirements will be set to
go, and they will have an ade-
quate supply of stickers and
other materials on hand,” Busby
stated.
Garrison added that he could
see no possibility of a “log jam”
of motorists at the official in-
spection stations at any time
unless too many people put off
getting their autos checked un-
til the last few days of the sev-
en-months period.
“Lack of sufficient inspec-
tion stations plus last-minute
waiting contributed to the long
lines and lengthy delays under
the old law in the Spring of
1952,” Garrison .'aid.

hospital at 5:45 a.m. on Monday,
