The McKinney Examiner, one of

been an outspoken advocate of gov-
ernmental economy. It has used:
many columns of editorial space to
oppose unnecessary spending by the1

post office building for McKinney,
we wonder if the Examiner will also
oppose that unnecessary expenditure.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Amer-
ican Medical Association Tuesday
strengthened its lines for a no-quar-
ter fight on the administration’s na-
tional health insurance proposals.
Its house of delegates, meeting
here, tentatively approved a proposal
for annual dues of $25.
In the past, the association has col-
lected no dues directly, but it has for
a year been gathering a $25 assess-
ment to fight the administration’s
compulsory health insurance plan.
Under the new plan—still to be ap-
proved by all necessary committees
and then passed upon finally—the
$25 dues would not be on a voluntary
basis. If a doctor did not pay up
within a year, he would be dropped
from the membership rolls.

The Pecos County 4-H Club
again captured the interest of the en-
tire nation and made livestock his-
tory by taking their Texas Hereford
steer to the International Livestock
Exposition at Chicago where he was
chosen grand champion and sold,
Thursday, for the record price of
$13,800.
The steer, Judge Roy Bean, was
purchased by Frank R. Pierce, presi-
dent of Dearborn Motors, after an
exciting bidding contest between
Pierce and Jesse C. Andrew, presi-
dent of the exposition. Andrew, bid-
ding for Burrus Feed Mills at the in-
struction of Wiley Akins, manager of
the Fort Worth mill, ran the bid up to
$11.25 per pound before he dropped
out of the bidding.

Mills to the Pecos Club, and com-
panion calf to Judge Roy Bean, was
reserve champion of the show and
brought $10.75 per pound from Glen
McCarthy, well known Houston oil |

tel.
