EUGENE BRUNER
Past, Present and Future
7:30 p.m., December 2,
1939, City and County Hos-
pital,. Fort Worth, Texas,
Elmer Eugene Bruner, in-
haled my first breath as the
first born of Mr. and Mrs.
Leroy Bruner.
I am now ‘eighteen years
and three months old. Thus
far I have lived a life of
complete and ultimate joy. I
think my enjoyment of life
is due to one thing—I love
life. Life to me is a quality
that is above everything ex-
cept the kingdom of God.
It is a series of happy events
salted with sadness and
fears.
I have been blessed with
the privilege of living on a
farm all my life. To me life
on a farm is the highest re-
ward a boy could receivein
developing his body, his self
preservation and character
in later life.
Now that I have given my
background I will proceed to
the 'accomplishments I have
been lucky enough to achieve
I‘ am proud to say that I
have been fortunate in mak-
ing scholastic grades • that
have been good enough to
rank me in the top quarter
of the senior class.
During my four years in
high school, I have lettered
three years on the basketball
team. I as fortunate indeed
to have played on teams with
outstanding records in sport-
manship and winning ability.
Also durng my high school
career I have been extremely
gifted in the opportunity to
develop my endeavors in the
field of agriculture to the
fullest extent. I must credit
a large portion of my suc-
cess in_this field to my de-
voted vocational agriculture
advisor, Mr. Herbert Lubke.
I have made no definite
plans for the future, but I
have been considering a car-
eer in vocational agriculture.
After graduation I plan
to enter Texas Tech.

“What time did you get
home last night?” is the
most common question at my
home on South Fifth Street.
Daddy and other don’t really
understand that movies, par-
ties and especially the old
tradition of occuping one of
our fair city’s main corners
is of utmost importance in
my life. Other than school
and church this takes up the
bigger part of my time.
Many lasting friendships
have sprung up as I attend-
ed Grandview Elementary
School for eight years. As
time moved farward, most
of these classmates and I
have found ourselves stumb-
ling along in high school.

held in Kay-Holloway Fun-
eral Home. Mr. Webb had at-
tained the age of 73 years.
He is survived by three sons,
E. G., T. G., Owen and a dau-
ghter Mrs. Jack Marr. The

ty and I join the many fri-
ends who mourn with the
family the passing of M. O.

Miss. Mrs. Wheeler is the

Supt. of Grandview Scho-
ols, Royce Holland, attended
a meeting of school adminis-
trators in San Francisco last
Friday, returning home
Tuesday the 11th. Mr. Hol-
land related the high light of.
the meeting was an address
by a learned scientest. But
the next morning the event
was in a small paragraph in-
side the paper, while on the
front page was emblazoned
the news that a Cleburne
woman had been willed a
vast sum of money.
At last report Mrs. Dora
Prestride patient in Me-
Public Works; was high-
lighted during a busy week
in Congress.
On Monday and Tuesday,
the House was passing the
Omnibus authorization bill
for water resource develop-
ments. On Wednesday the
Senate adopted a resolution
calling on the Administra-
tion to speed up work on the
’ many construction projects
for which appropriations al-
j ready have been made.
■ Then, on Thursday, the
proceeded to aprove $10
millions for completion of
Wie remaining link in the
Pan American highway and
authorization for federal aid
passed the regular annual
highway work in the U.S.
***
Passage of the Omnibus
bill is an event of unusual
significance. The last such
general authorization became
law in 1954. Meanwhile, dra-
matic new needs have arisen
in many areas of the coun-
try.
The bill itself contained
149 projects scattered over
46 states and the territor-
ies. Included were a number
of Texas projects on which
Corps of Engineers studies
had been completed.
Among other things, the
bill authorizes a broad resur-
vey now will demonstrate ec-
onomic benefits exceeding
costs by at least two or more.
Much has been said about
an accelerated public works
program to arrest the pre-
sent decline and promote ec-
onomic recovery. Surely,
among all public works un-
dertakings, water develop-
ments are economically the
soundest.
Alone among public con-
struction activities, water
programs are judged by the
stern criteria of benefit-to-
cost ratios. In order to qual-
ify, they must not only pay
for themselves but return
dividends on the investment.
While the projects in this
bill will create jobs and stim-
ulate construction activity
during completion, they are
not “make-work” programs.
The principal virtue of flood
control and navigation works
is that they protect life and
property, promote the grow-
th of industry and stimulate
the flow of commerce, in
turn enriching the free Am-
erican economy and creating
ever more job opportunities
for American men and wo-
men for years and years to
come.
Our water resource deve-
lopment program has an-
other, and even graver, as-
pect. While we rush to meet
the Russian challenge in the
field of missiles and military
might, we must meet the So-
viet threat on the economic
front as well.
General E. C. Itschner, Chief
of U. S. Engineers, recently
pointed out that this titanic
competition is likely to be re-
solved over the long span by
a demonstration of which
social and economic system
can best withstand the strain
of heavy and continuous cold
war.
This is not a hundred-yard
dash but a marathon. In the
years ahead, it will result in
an unprecedented demand
upon our water resources,
and General Itschner be-
lieves our present state of
development it “wholly inad-
equate.”

interest to Texans is the
