Fayette County Has
Attained CROP Goal
Thirty-seven Texas count-
ies have completed their
commodity collections for the
Christian Rural Overseas
Program (CROP).
Forty-eight other counties
are now in process of start-
ing or completing their can-
vasses for contributions to be
used for feeding and clothing
needy persons overseas too
poor to buy anything.
Additional Texas counties
expect to conduct their cam-
paigns during January. The
1949 campaign in Texas clos-
es on January 31, 1950.
According to reports reach
ing the Texas State CROP
Office in Taylor the follow-
ing counties have forwarded
contributions in commodit-
ies or cash for commodities:
Williamson, Nueces, Gil-
lepsie, Washington, Hemp-
hill, Guadalupe, San Patri-
cio, Fayette, Wilson, Hidal-
go, Austin, Karnes, Jim
Wells, Mason, Kleberg, Tra-
vis, Colorado, Bexar, Lee,
Comal, McLennan, Falls,
Bosque, Dickens, Refugio,
Live Oak, Caldwell, Bell,
Burleson, Bastrop, Lavaca,
Lampasas, Waller, Carson,
Coryell, Blanco, Uvalde and
Brazos.
At least 15 counties, which
had set their goals at a car-
load or more, have not re-
ported. At least half of these
counties are in Texas Pan-
handle, where this week their
active collection period is in
progress.

Dear editar:
I read in a newspaper the
other day, either yours or
some other one, I get mixed
up, run together in my mind
like a rigmarole from my
wife on what ought to be
done around this place to im-
prove it, thunder anybody
knows i._______
but I ain’t near as interested
in improving a farm as I am
in havin a farm improve me,
as I say, I read in a paper
where the state of Texas was
holdin a note against some-
body which is now 98 years
past due, and my neighbor
wanted to know if it was me
that owed it.
I will appreciate you lettin
me use ;
that ain’t none of my notes
98 years past due.
I would like to have some
that past due, would like to
have some only a few years
due, would like to have one
not even due yet, but all the
bankers I know is too astute
to loan me anything, al-
though I generally get a free
calendar from them around
Christmas time. If politicians
handled the tax payers’ mon-
ey like bankers handle de-
positors’, there would be a
lot more money in the trea-
sury and a lot less taxes,
which ain’t necessarily the'
goal of some politicians.
Speaking of money, I read
yesterday where somebody
was complainin about U. S.
Congressmen takin tours
around the world to study
conditions abroad, sayin the
trips this year alone was
costin $150,000. This just
iV, , goes to show you that pen-
it could be improved, ny-pinchin ain’t always econ-
omy.
Say it cost the country
$150,000 to send a bunch of
Congressmen abroad, ain’t
that fairly cheap, considerin
what they could have spent
if they’d stayed in Washing-
ton? Why $150,000 ain’t
hardly fifteen minutes worth
of work when Congress set-
, ties down to appropriatin,
your columns to say they can do that while they
are waitin on a quorum to
come in and work up to the
million-dollar level.
Any time we can spend
$150,000 and get some Con-
gressmen out of the country,
it’s a bargain. It might pay
us to send some editars along
with them too.
Yours faithfully, J. A.
