EVERY candidate for Governor
of Texas, during the past, and most
of our candidates for the legisla-
ture, have promised the people a
very liberal Old Age Pension; rome
of them promising to follow the
Amendment to the State Con-
stitution; which would give them
any amount up to $40 a month
each. Yet, our old age pensions
have been trimed down, and down,
untill no pensioner gets what the
Constitutional Amendment, which
passed—promised them.
Our candidates for governor make
the promise and the Legislature
promises it yet, it has never acted
to get the money these pensioners
are entitled to. Such delay causes
the people to lose confidence in the
Governor and our State Legisla-
ture. That is why the people have
a just cause to complain.

WE, The American People
in need of more automobiles. In
fact we have the cash to pay for
many thousands of new cars. While
this is true we find siting out in
the open over 41,000 Army Sedans,
not in use. Some of these cars
have very little milage on them,
and are, or were, when draged to
the storage lots, as good as when
they left the assembly line. Why
this waste? The people need these
cars and trucks and they should
be sold to the public at once.
Give our GI's first chance to buy,
and what is left sell to the public.
This is only one of the many list
of WASTES. Many kinds of lumber
—badly needed just now—Is piled up,
not being used because of Bu-
reaucracy and red tape, that must
be asked to sell what is badly
needed. Congress should get behind
this waste of MUCH NEEDED

THE MEMPHIS DEMOCRAT
MEMPHIS is going to have an
airport. Just where it will be lo-
cated is uncertain, and just when
it will be ready for use is also un-
certain. but indications are that
it will be within the next few
weeks.
Now that the city council has
decided to call a bond election to
raise money to buy land for an
airport, it is almost a dead cer-
tainty that this city will have one.
If Memphis ever needed anything,
that need is an airport—a good air-
port. Clarendon has an airport,
Wellington has an airport, Chil-
dress has an airport,. Memphis has
none.
We are behind other cities in
the developement of an airport,
and we must hurry to catch up.
Whether you like it or not, travel
by air is definately here, and here
to stay. If you thought the auto-
mobile was a passing fancy, then
you may think the airplane is In
the same catagory, and again you
will be wrong. So Memphis must
hurry and catch up with the crowd.
Naturally the high cost of in-
stalling such an airport, and get-
ting someone to operate it after
it was installed has been a hold-
back. There are a lot of angles to
such a project, and those angles
have just about been worked out
completely now through the joint
efforts of the city council and
the chamber of commerce.
Whatever Is good is going to
cost money. The hind which will
be baught for the airport will cost
money, and to buy the land, bonds
must be voted. The bonds will be
paid off partially by taxation, and
partially by proceeds from the air-
port itself. It is roughly estimated,
that if the bonds are bought with
the provision to pay them off in
20 annual installments, the city
—— will have to raise about $600 ad-
are | ditional money In taxes to take
care of retiring the bonds. Tax-
payers will hardly feel this extra
amount, but will undoubtedly reap
much more benefits annually than
they expect at present.
The bond election will probibly
be called soon. Let's put it over,
and show our officials that we have
confidence in them, and confidence
in the value of an airport. The
future of this city depends on what
we do to keep in step with pro-
gress. Let's not lag behind.
Old highways, like broken webs
of the past, dangle from the hills
in silent testamony of progress'
cruel disregard for Its parentage.
Dead weeds clot the empty veins
where life once moved, and erosion
covers unknown history that per-
ished without recording. Now a
ragged shelf on the red hills, no
one remembers the new buggy with
wheels glittering in the sunlight,
that made tracks in the dust. There
is no record of the young bride's
whispered vow at the bend in the
road. No trace remains of the wag-
ons freighted with new and pun-
gent pine, that would build new
homes in a new country. Where
is the laughter of children who
passed this way, their bare legs
brushing sunflowers as they sat
on the floor of the wagon bed?
The chugging, narrow-wheeled
automobiles are gone after cutting
ruts in the mud that spring rains
left, and the snows of many win-
ters have melter. unbroken by roll-
ing wheels. Perhaps youths of a
half-forgotten war, their cheeks
still wet with mother tears, passed
on this road never to return. Be-
fore the corridor was gutted of its
bridges, friends followed in slow
procession the grim caravans ol
the dead; lovers halted beneath
the alter of stars to pledge their
devotion. Abandoned roads are
empty pockets in the world's old
coat, which once contained the
sweetened bread of life.

White and gleaming beneath
bright Oklahoma sun, the new
roadside filling station bore testi-
mony of the two young partners'
confidence in the future. Small
gold buttons were fixed on ihe
pocket flaps of each boy's spotless
unionalls. Young grass will soon be
sprouting in the mulched soil which
held the sign, white with ten-inch
neatly-painted red letters, these
two words: "CLEAN LADIES."

Nothing asks so little and gives

It would be interesting to know
how the present housing situation

War n veterans for service-con-
nected disabilities?
A Pension may be paid for dis-
ability incured in, or aggravated
by, active service in World War II,
in line of duty, according to the
degree of disability shown. Pension
is not payable if disability is the
result of the veteran's own willful
misconduct. The veteran must have
a discharge under conditions other
than dishonorable.
ROCKETS
There's a gold prospector in New
Mexico, near the place where V-2
rocket tests are being made, and
he has a plan which would save
him a lot of digging.
The plan was told by Lt. Col.
H. R. Turner, commanding officer
of the White Sands, N. Mex., prov-
ing Grounds for 46-foot rockets.
"You see," Colonel Turner said,
"when we selected the White Sands
Proving Grounds, we naturally
selected a section of country that
was pretty sparsely inhabited, away
from railroads and airlines. But
within this area there is a gold
prospector who owns a mountain,
and he has been pestering us to
aim a rocket over his way and blow
up the mountain. He said this
would save him a lot of digging,
but I'm afraid we can't oblige."
Colonel Turner revealed that
Army Ordnance engineers plan to
send up 24 more rockets, in ad-
dition to the one that was suc-
cessfully launched May 10. "That
means," he pointed out, "if we
follow our schedule, we'll celebrate
the forth of July about four times
a month for the next five months
at White Sands."

require the Doctor's degree. It takes
time and costs a lot of money to
secure these advanced degrees. Vet
the teacher who goes out for his
first year gets about the same
salary as those who have spent
thousands of dollars in advanced
training. The public has too long
taken teaching for granted. The
average citizen says: 'Let "em quit
if they do not like their salaries."
This attitude has cost the schools
of Texas many trained and well
qualified teachers. Those who are
not qualified should not keep
their jobs at any price.
Trail Dust . . ,
(By Douglas Meador)
An arm of light claws the plains'
soft garment of tranquility as the
streamliner pounds the iron rails
with restless hoofs and spews out
of space like a silver monster
whose heart Is on fire. The trem-
ulous horn ever reverberates its
plaintive despondency into dark
valleys between the stars, and with
a swish of its red tall the incon-
solable metal demon is gone. But
the sound of its cry hangs on ihe
cornice of silence like the scream
from a tortured child In the star-
chamber of a miserable dream, It
bellows at the gates of distance and

gration and Naturalization Service

CIO TURNED DOWN
The International Woodworkers
of America (CIO) was rejected as
barglning agent of the employee,
of theTemple Lumber Company in
the companies piants at Hemphi)
and Pineland, Texas, in an election
conducted on July 4 by the Nation-
al Labor Relatons Board. The volt
was 329 to 224 against the CIO
or 59.5% to 40.5%.
Three seperate elections were
held; one for the logging operators,
and two for the men in the two
plants. Logging operators voted 73
for and 119 against, and the plant
workers voted 151 for and 210 a-
gainst. This was the first election
held among Temple Lumber Com-
pany employees for determination
of a bargaining agency.
OLD TACT SAYS
There Is great fear back in
Washington . Oreat fear that the
American people will wake up
Wherever there is prosperity it's
due to American money. Billions
have been poured into South Am-
erica, Just simply to keep them in
good humor towards us, which thpy
are not.
We are spending two and a hall
billion a month over the world.
Mostly in Europe, and we haven't
a friend over there. Even the Eng-
lish think we have mistreated them.
They think we should be continu-
ing the lend lease and that the
three and a half billion loan should
be a gift.
Our best friend, probibly, is Can-
ada. Brazlle in South America
thinks pretty well of us because
we are her best customer in coflee.
Do you recall what Will Rogers
said when he made a tour of Eu-
rope after the last war?
He described at length how the
Europeans hated us. But then he
wound up by saying that they
hated each other even more than
they hated Americans.
NO REPORT CARDS
Prepared for changes in our edu-
cational system, progressive minds
intend to bring classrooms up-to-
date in studies and conduct. When
the National Education Association
proposes to do away with the old
standard report card, we are sur-
prised. Young folks around here
will probably be over-joyed. The
grading of advancement and intel-
ligence with the alphabet is not a
strict measurement and so stands I
for alteration. Born 40 years too I
late, again!
But the catch comes in having'
individual attention paid the child
with parents and teachers discus-'
sing personal problems of class
conduct. Initiative, intelligence, thru
direct conversation. Perhaps local
children won't be greatly in favor
of this after all.
Advice Given On
DDT Use In South
"Community efforts to contro}
disease-carrying insects can be ef-
fective only if individual house-
holders cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent," said Dr. Wendell H. Tisdale,
manager of the pest Control Lab-
oratory of the Du Pont Company,
in a special statement today in re-
frence to the use of DDT in cur-
rent outbreaks of infantile par-
alysis in the South.
"To make present efforts in
Southern States fully effective," Dr.
Tisdale said, "every house-holder
must check his own home first,
Gaibage palls, refuse piles, chicken
coops, barns and other possible
breeding or feeding spots of flies
outdoors are as important as those
inside the home. There is a tend-
ency too often to spray interior
wall surfaces and window screens
with DDI to the neglect of outside
areas where insects continue to
multiply unmolested."
"DDT has great possibilities for
the current situation In the South,"
Don't Hoard Old Medicines
There are many persons who naturally hoard any-
thing and everything including old clothes, boxes, and
other useless articles, some of which constitude no
greater danger than a possible fire hazard, but a very
real danger is present when this tendency is applied to
hoarding old medicine in any form.
m
Most medicine finds itself into the home through a
doctor's prescribing it for some specific illness. For the
sake of safety, left-over medicines should be destroyed
immediately when they have fulfilled their purpose
and never be stored in the medicine cabinet for future
unprescribed use in case of another illness.
Selfrmedication with the use of left-over drugs
which were of great benefit to some previous illness
can sometimes turn a simple ailment into a very serious
condition of actual poisoning. This is particularly h ue
of the indiscriminate use of sulfa drugs which have
been prescribed for some, previous specific condition.

Dr. Tisdale continued. "Following
lis use on several hundred thous-
and people in Naples to quill an
incipient outbreak of typhus dur-
ing the war, the Army and Navy
both adopted large-scale spraying
programs in areas throughout the
world. DDT has already been wid-
ely tested in Texas and Florida for
the control of lice and horn flies
on cattle with autstandlng results.
But no one can predict exactly the
extent to which epidemics of di-
seases other than typhus and ma-
laria can be checked through con-
trol of insects. We haven't enough
experience with them.

to use DDT," he said, "is to spray |
