Invitations to attend the 28th
annual meeting of the Texas For-
estry Association next Wednesday,
July 1, at Beaumont are being
extended the public this week by
Walter O’Neal, association presi-
dent, Texarkana.
Governor Coke Stevenson will
head, up a • list of eight speakers
who have been selected to give
the highlights of forestry develop-
ments in East Texas and the use
of wood products in the war.
Mr. O’Neal said that the ses-
sions will take place at the Hotel
Beaumont starting at 10 o’clock in
the morning on July 1.
He urged a “share-the-ride”
plan in which citizens planning
to attend the convention get to-
gether and go in as few cars as
possible so as to save on tires.
The program is as follows:
“Lumber for Victory”, J. C. Di-
onne, publisher, Gulf Coast Lum-
berman, Houston; “Industry Goes
All-Out”, E. L. Kurth, president
Southland Paper Mills, Lufkin;
“The War Drain on Our Forests”,
E. O. Seicke, director, Texas Forest
Service, College Station; “A State
Forestry Program”, Dr. T. O. Wal-
ton, president, A. and M. College;
“Address”, Governor Coke R.
Stevenson, Austin; “Needed State
Forestry Legislation”, O. M. Stone,
Jasper.
Clarence DeBusk, manager of
the Beaumont Chamber of Com-
merce, will deliver the welcome
address and Walter O’Neal will
respond for the Association.

I GIVE YOU TEXAS
BY BOYCE HOUSE
Texas occupies all of the North
American continent except the
small part set aside for Canada,
Mexico and the rest of the United
States
The chief pursuit of Texans
used to be Indians. That was back
when Texas was so wild that not
even the law of gravitation was
obeyed.
Texans were so proud of their
State that they can’t sleep at night.
If a Texan’s head was opened,
you would find a map of the Lone
Star State printed on his brain.
Texas owns the north bank of
the Rio Grande—the only river
in the world navigable for pe-
destrians.
Texas is so huge that if you
used the northern line of the Pan-
handle for a hinge, you’d place
Brownsville so close to the Arctic
Circle that the hot tamale vendors
would be able to swap their wares
with the Eskimos for polar bear
steaks.
Texas is so titanic that it is
bounded on the north by the Au-
rora Borealis, on the south by the
invisible lines of equinox, on the
east by primeval chaos and on
the west by Judgement Day.
If all the mules in Texas could
be made into one mule, he could
kick the “man” out of the moon.
If all the bales of cotton produc-
ed in Texas were made into one
stack, you would have a stairway
reaching to the pearly gates. If
all the hogs in Texas could be
made into one hog, he could dig
the Panama Canal at a single
root of his mighty snoot.
And if all the steers in Texas
could be made into one steer, he
could stand with his front feet in
the Gulf of Mexico, one hind leg
in Lake Michigan and the other in
Hudson’s Bay and, with his tail,
brush the Northern Lights out of
the Alaskan skies.
I give you Texas. . .
The above, author unknown, is
quoted in response to quite a few
requests. And, speaking of re-
quests, your columnist was de-
lighted at the hundreds and hun-
dreds of postal cards that came
in from you readers to Boyce
House, 3329 Park Ridge, Fort
Worth, asking for a supply of
cards to hand opt in my race for
Lieutenant Governor of Texas. If
you haven’t written in, just drop
me a postal today, please.

IHEY said America was "soft”—
that our easy living would make us
easy licking.
But cocky American fighting
men proved them painfully wrong
at Wake, Midway, Bataan. And the
same factories that produced our
peacetime comforts are geared today .
into the greatest war industry the
world has ever seen!
Production is military power.
And electric power is production.
America can produce the planes,
tanks, ships and guns to win this
war because America has five times
the electric power it had in the

James V.. Allred, candidate for
United States Senator, has ap-
pealed to the families an friends
of service men in every county
in Texas to inform them of their
right to vote in the party primary
and to make that right effective.
“Texans in the armed forces of
the nation this year can maintain
a voice in the operation of their
government,” Former Governor
Allred declared.
The State Democratic Commit-
tee, after hearing arguments from
Allred and others, has adopted a
resolution permitting our soldier
boys to vote.
The next step, Allred observed,
is to see that the service men
know of that right and that the
correct procedure is followed.
Those on the home front must
aid in doing this part of the job,
he said.
Service men must write their
county clerk at home, asking for
an absentee ballot, the letter ac-
companied by a poll tax receipt
or affidavit that the poll tax was
paid. The ballot must be filled
out in the presence of a notary
or summary court officer or ad-
jutant and returned to the coun-
ty Clerk. Period for absentee
voting in the July 25 primary is
July 5-22, or not more than 20
nor less than three days before
the election.
