with Roundabout
ON THE COUNTY Clerk's
file docket is an entry charging
a colored man with practicing
medicine without a license.
HE'S ACCUSED OF giving
out either a potion or advice
or both for arthritis or some-
thing.
LOOKS LIKE THINGS get
ting so organized now you can't
wear an Asafetida (-fiddity, to
most wearers) bag, without a
permit.
THESE RULES ARE ALL in
the public interest, as they say
in Washington. They keep folks
from being bulldozed into tak-
ing a paid-in-advance quick
cure, which is liable to be
harmful to the body.
ANYWAY, THE MORAL Is,
be careful about the advice you
give. It may turn out to be a
prescription.

TWO SECTIONS
NUMBER 1
EVEN THE DOCTORS have
to be extra careful nowadays
about the advice they give.
They advised the president
about socialized medicine. And
the president advised them
right back.
THIS IS NOT to be taken as
a suggestion that the president
wears asafetida. That would
smack of political assassination,
because asafetida wearers are
definitely in the minority in
this generation, and whoever
heard of a president getting
elected on an asafetida plat-
form.
THE COLUMN HAS no con-
crete proof that he does not
wear asafetida. We assume that
he does not. He doubtless even
approves of modern medicine,
It's just the doctors that he has
trouble with. And if he and the
physicians don't come to some
agreement pretty soon, the
president just may up and de>
cide the nation'll have his medl
cine program without them.
BUT COME TO THINK of it,
that's practicing medicine with'
out a license, too.

Seldom seen city construction is going on southwest of the

is being done. The $100,000-plus project — estimated to be
about 50 per cent complete — will be inspected by federal
officials on June 27.
CLUB WELCOMES WOMEN
Lady Quarterbacks OK'd
The Rusk Quarterback Club to see the club grow to 200
vbted Tuesday night to admit
ladles to its ranks.
The question, which arose
last year without ever being
resolved, was quickly taken
care of in the initial 1962
meeting of the organization.
Ladies membership fees will be
the same price as those for the
men—a $5 minimum—and they
will be expected to attend the
meetings and participate in the
overall program of the club.
John Claiborn Williams, who
was elected to head the organi-
zation in 1962-83, s&id he hoped
members this year. The ladies
will be counted on to enlarge
the membership.
Williams also suggested that
Quarterbackers drop the annu-
al raffle and concentrate on get-
ting more members. The club
has been selling tickets each
year and at the end of the sea-
son awarding several prizes on
the basis of a drawing.
Ralph Travis was elected sec-
retary-) reasurer of the organi-
zation to serve with Williams,
In other action, the club vot-
ed to make available its bank
County Cancer Society
Elects 6 New Officers
Dr. Wayne Ralson of Jack- mittee of the Texas Division of
sonville was elected president the American Cancer Society,
of the Cherokee County unit rov Montgomery told the
of the American Cancer Society i group the AJLcan Cancer So-
Tuesday night.
He will head the 1962-63
slate, which includes W. N.
Shattuck of Alto, vice-presi-
dent; Clyde Small of Jackson-
ville, treasurer; Houston White
of Rusk, secretary; Margaret
Lindner of Jacksonville, treas-
urer; and Dr. L. L. Travis of
ciety "is in business to go out
of business." He said communi-
cations and education is half
the fight against, cancer.
However, America could do
more financially, he suggested.
For example, in 1958, U.S. Citi-
zens spent as much money on
Jacksonville, medical represen-1 nail polish and ten times as
tative. much for chewing gum as they
Outgoing president Julian did on cancer.
Bolton presented 1962 crusade 0—
awards to Mrs. J. M. Norwood
of Jacksonville, Mrs. A. E. Dan-
heim of Alto and Miss Lindner
of Jacksonville. Others not
present but recognized were
Jake Hunt and Leroy Malloch,
both of Jacksonville.
Speaker for the meeting was
the Rev. J. A. Montgomery, pas-
tor of the Woodland Christian
.Church of Longview and a
member of the executive corn-
balance of over $100 to apply
to the summer physical educa-
tion program. Other organiza-
tions and agencies arc expected
to make contributions as they
did last year.
Coach Kenneth Almond ex-
plained that the program will
be open to all city youth. That
was the policy last year, he
said, but few took advantage of
it. Main participation came
from members of his football
squad.
As far as they are concern-
ed, the program was extremely
valuable. Although the squad
went up against heavier teams
all year long with just 19 men,
Almond pointed out that his
bench never had to go onto the
field to pull off a hurt player.
Quarterbackers intimated
that steps would be taken to
get wider participation from
among the youth of the city,
both boys and girls.
The members decided to call
a second meeting for July 10
at 7:30 at which time the mem-
bership campaign is expected
to get underway. The meeting
will be held at the high school
if it can be arranged with
school officials.

Scheduled
A Referendum on Turkey
Marketing Orders is being con-
ducted this week by the Chero-
kee County ASCS Office. Vot-
ing will be from June 18th
through June 22, 1962.
Any producer marketing ov-
er 3600 pounds live weight of
turkeys in 1961 is eligible to
vote in this referendum. Any
turkey producer who has not
already done so must file a cer-
tificate of turkeys marketed in
1961 to be eligible to vole. Cer-
tificates should be filed immed-
iately in order that eligible pro-
ducers may vote by June 22,
1962.
City, county and state offic-
ials will meet here Monday to
work out an agreement by
which water lines parallel to
and criss-crossing U.S. 84 will
be moved prior to rebuilding a
section of the road.
The city is trying to avoid
assuming the full expense—es-
timated to be $4,000—of lower-
ing and moving lines which
serve more than 30 residences
in the area. The lines are out-
side of the city limits.
City Councilmen last week
voted to have a meeting of all
persons in the area who will
be affected by the removal of
the lines. However, early this
week the meeting was cancel-
led in favor of the meeting next
Monday in which the three
agencies will try to work out
a solution.
Mayor Morris Hassell met'
with the County Commissioners
Court Tuesday on the question.
At that time, the officials de-
cided on the talks for nex^
week. Attending the session
, will be members of the Com-
missioners Court, a representa-
tive of the Tyler District office
of the State Highway Depart-
ment, and Mayor Hassell and
other city representatives.
The county has acquired all
the right of way for the project
which extends 1.4 miles west
of the city limits on U.S. 84.
Its primary aim is to eliminate
the hazardous crossing where
the highway intersects with the
State railroad.
The Highway Department re-
portedly has scheduled the pro-
ject for contracting in July.
County and city spokesmen
expressed confidence this week
that something can be "work-
ed out" and still maintain wat-
er service to the residents.

Agent's office, They will then

If there are enough confirm-

Duncan said the finance cam-

about 50 per cent participation
