Neyland’s Stare Damaged
By Fire Wed. Night
A very short time after it was
reported the Silsbee Volunteer
Fire Department brought under
control a blaze which . caused
several thousands of dollars dam _
age to the A. R. Neyland Grocery
store in the heart of the Silsbee
business district, about 8:30 Wed-
nesday night.
The blaze apparently originated
in the back of the store near the
market section. An electric ceil-
ing fan was near the worst dam-
aged section and it was reasoned
that the fire could have originated
there. When firemen arrived
flames were shooting out of a
rear window and roaring like a
blow torch. They broke open the
rear door and gained entrance to
the building, but lack of lights
and smoke made the fire fighting
difficult.
Some of the market fixtures and
a good bit of stock in the one
story brick building were damag-
ed by fire and water. Mr. Neyland
said Wednesday night that it
might be several days before the
store could be reopened.
The fire truck had to be moved
only about 100 yards from the fire
station in order to reach a fire
plug. Firemen turnout, was near-
ly unanimous with 19 of the 20
members, the department presi-
dent and three trustees on hand
at the fire.

Rep. Will L. Smith of Beaumont,
a Hardin County boy who “made
good in the city,” this week an-
nounced his candidacy for the
Texas Senate, representing the
Fourth Senatorial District of
Hardin, Liberty, Orange, and
Jefferson counties.
The present Senator from this
district, Allan Shivers, is not a
candidate for re-election.
Rep. Smith, one of East Texas’
most widely known political fig-
ures, is Chairman of one of the
“big five” house committees, ihe
Committee on Privileges, suffr-
age and elections, and as such, is
one of the highest ranking mem-
bers of the present leg’slature.
He received national notice last
year for his succssful sponsorship
of the act providing for the educat-
ion of crippled children in this
state. The Texas Voice, official
magazine of the Crippled Child-
rens Society, called this measure,
“the greatest forward step in Tex-
as education in fifty years.”
7,500 Texas children benefit under
this law which is now in effect.
Rep Smith seeks promotion to
the Senate on the basis of his
four year record in the House. “I
offer results, not promises,” he
said. “My record is one of action
and accomplishment, not one of
wishful thinking and. “proposed
aream pills.”
"Experiece and responsibility
are more neccessary than ever
before to the lawmaker who is to
“get the job done” for his district.”
Smith first attracted state notice
in 1943 as a member of the now
famous “no tax” committee of the
House of Representatives, which
killed every tax bill presented to
the legislature for the first year
in recent Texas history.”
In 1943, he also introduced the
original Veteran Service Officer
bill, which is still in effect, at the
request of veterans of this area.
He pledged continued cooperaion
to the returning veterans. “The
state of Texas cannot do too much
or these men, particularly those
who served overseas,” he said.
Smith advocates higher stand-
ards in rural education in Texas;
a general revision of out-of-date
election laws; full industrial de-
velopment for East Texas; and
improvement of the present old
age assistance laws, which he
termed, “inadequate and frequent-
ly unjust.”
Long an active worker on edu-
cation legislation, he was co-
author of the successful Junior
College Bills during both of the
past two legislatures, and author
of the Special Education Act of
1945.
