Al Hirschfeld, Irving Hoffman,

many others are artists who have
won outstanding niches in the art
world for sketches and carica-

theatrical scenes. One of the most

to picture the Broadway scene. Recently, after his
art was selected for both the Metropolitan and
Whitney museums, he wrote his Broadway im-
pressions to include in the volume of his art en-
titled “Come One, Come All.”
Freeman proved himself a smart reporter when
he first arrived in New York. He went to the little
unimportant fellows on Broadway street corners
to get quick, first hand knowledge of the big
town. When he wanted knowledge of Shubert Al-
ley, he didn’t go to a theatre manager or to a po-
liceman for information. He encountered an ice
cream peddler, who explained that there were two
stage doors opened into Shubert Alley, one from
a costume play and the other from a musical show
where the chorus girls wore less than nothing.
“By the time we reached the narrow alley be-
hind the Astor Hotel,” Freeman wrote, “the two
shows had begun to break for intermission. The
casts came out of their stage doors, exactly as the
pppsickle man had predicted. Actors in 16th Cen-

Increasingly through the years
the Russian Communist party has
been deliberately building up the
idea—in Communist countries at

RAYBURN BEING FETED
SPEAKER Sam Rayburn, who is spending
a few weeks at his home in Bonham, has
been the guest of honor and principal speak-
er at a number of events throughout his dis-
trict in recent weeks. In each case, the home
town folks have been toasting the congress-
man in appreciation of the services he has
rendered in the national lawmaking body.
Speaker Rayburn, in his position as one of
the key men of the democratic administra-
tion,has seen to it that his home district in
North Texas receives its full share of federal
patronage.
Rayburn is one of the staunchest support-
ers of the administration, as evidenced by his
frequent public statements to that effect,
and he is able to obtain for his district just
about anything he wants when the favors
are being passed out in Washington.

IT’S A BIG CHRISTMAS
JUST how this Christmas season compares
" with others in the sale of holiday mer-
chandise remains to be seen after the cash
register is closed down on Christmas eve, and
figures are produced for comparison with
other years.
But a pretty good barometer of business
has always been the activity at the local
post office, which handles incoming and out-
going Christmas mail.
On Monday of this week, the post office
hit an all time high for a single day, cancel-
ling 41,850 pieces of outgoing mail. This
figure made the cancellations during
the war years when there were thousands of
soldiers’ families augmenting the permanent
citizenship, and when so many packages
were going cut to men in the service, look
like small town stuff.
Prior to this year, the December 18, 1944,
peak of 34,260 had not been surpassed in
the postwar years, but 1949 has done it in a
big way.

VOTE FOR PARKING METERS
HE CITY of Grand Prairie installed park-
- ing meters more than a year ago, at the
request of a number of merchants who said
customers could not find parking space in
close proximity to their stores.
Soon after the meters were put in opera-
tion, however, there was a storm of protest
which reached such proportions, the city-
dads removed the meters, leaving the stan-
dards on the sidewalks.
The demand for meters was raised again,
but this time a vote on the issue was put up
to the citizens of the community. Saturday,
the voters went to the polls and approved the
meters better than 2 to 1, although the vote
represented the sentiment of not more than
10 per cent of the qualified franchise holders.
Gainesville has never voted on parking
meters. They were installed at a time dur-
ing the war when there was little question
but they were necessary—not only to regu-
late parking space but to bring in additional
city revenue.
Since the war there have been some com-
paints, but we do not believe they have ever
been sufficient to justify a referendum on the
subject.
I was there staring bug-eyed at their charms. They
were interested only in my friend and his ice Never Wa a R it

If we grow wrathful about things because they
are against ourselves that would leave us un-

DOG POISONERS
TWO families in Gainesville have been made
sad at this glad time of the year by the
poisoning of their pet dogs of which they
were very fond.
And a Gainesville veterinarian recalls at
least a dozen deaths by similar poisoning
among canine pets of the city, with three
times that many having disappeared under
mysterious circumstances, which may mean
they met with the same fate.
So it appears that Gainesville may have
several regular dog poisoners—people who
want to destroy other people’s pets.
We have many kinds of criminals in the
world and the medical profession sometimes
debates whether certain types of criminals
are that way because they are mentally ill,
or whether they are just plain “low down
and mean.”
It is hardly conceivable that there is a
more vicious criminal than one who poisons
defenseless dogs. In almost every case, the
victim is the pet of some family.
If a dog poisoner ever knew the pleasure
of a pet dog, it is difficult to believe he
would engage in such a nefarious practice.
And it is more difficult to conceive what
diabolical satisfaction one obtains from the
destruction of a neighbor’s pet.

A rival Indian tribe has come to the assist-

tain the present name of Denison dam. But
the war feathers may fly yet over the pro-
posed change.
