SUNDAY IS MOTHER'S l)AV Alt ««y peo-
ple will honor Mother in various I>ul miIi
in hie own way will express hi* appreciation of
his mother
In the (nail this wmIi we received the follow
inf. written hy Jette J. Gorman of Houtton:
"Sunday, May II, it Mother'* Day ... a day
«f kind remembrance to mother* living and for
mothers who have passed to the great beyond.
A lent time ago it was agreed that the three
awwetest words in ell the Engliih language were
Mother, Home end Heaven. Abraham Lincoln
onee said, 'All that I am or ever expect to be I
•we to my angel mother.' Great and righteou*
men is ell ages of the human race were high
Is their praite and gratitude to their angel
Mothers. No word* can be spoken nor lang-
uage expressed that will give forth the honor
and praise justly due our mother* who have
loved and protected us through life'* rugged
pathway, through sun*hine and *hadow*,
through tick net* and health. God hie** our
mothers forever.
"You who have living mother* on thit Moth-
er'* Day don't fail to extend to them your mo t
hind remembrance and honor due them. A let-
ter, card, a telegram or *ome other remem-
brance to mother* who are living at a distance
from their children . . . hy all meant, dear read
er, rem *nher the one who love* you tlirounh
every storm of life. A mother'* prayer and
great guiding *oul have been the bulwark of all
surviving civilisation*. Multitude* will reach
the eternal city through the priceless influence
and Christian guidance of a loving mother's
care and devotion to their children. Mother's
Day is one of the most glorious days of any
day or generetion. It is e day of sweetest re-
membrance and lond recollection of childhood
and youth. If children will love and honor
their dear mothers the world would not swallow
them up.
"Mother's Day is a serious day . . . and there
should be much meditation and remembrance
in love and devotion to thi* great cause and
sacrifice. Not enough can be said in song, in
verse and in spoken word in behalf of mother.
They are the unsung heroes of the world."
THItKK MKMHKItS of the West Toxa-t Historical
Association, J. W. Williams, llryan Lovelace iuuI
Miss Louise Kelly of Wichita Fall*, dropped in to
see the News editor Saturday. They were en route
to Italrd to attend the annual meeting of the as
soclatlon.
The three are interested in the preservation of
the old Ledbetter picket house at l-'ort tiriffin, which
is to he moved to the City Memorial I'ark here, and
each gave us a dollar, which was turned in to the
Albany Study flub picket house fund.
Miss Kelly stated her father once lived here. Mr.
Williams is a writer of Texas history, and ha- been
working on old trails the |ia.-t several years under
commission from the llockefeller foundation. Iloth
are teachers in the Wichita Falls hiul« school.

Universal Military
Training
The American Legion, as a na-
tional organization, is sponsoring
a universal military training bill
as a measure of security that this
nation must have. Since the or-
ganization of the American Le-
gion, veterans of World War I
have consistently and persistently
endeavor to have Congress pass
u universal military training law,
hut the loud noise of the weak-
minded pacifists and others with
sinister motives have carried a
greater weight with Congress than
the veterans who know the horrors
of war first hand, and are vitally
interested in preventing war. Had
a political-minded Congress had
enough vision and foresight to see
tie advisability and necessity of a
well prepared nation, World War
II would not in all prohabilit> have
bc.'ii fought. \S i -hould now prof
it I.y ad experience and leave no
tone unturned to prevent Worl
War III, which i now looming on
the horizon.
I n I hi - nth alli ed -t age of a > i
entitle world, we dare not think of
another war. Next time we will
not have one, two or three yeai n
which to prepare for war, while
our allies are struggling desper
ately with the enemy, and if we
depend on such wishful thinking
our whole nation will be de-troy
ed over night We tiiu-t be read)
to strike first, because the nation
that strikes tir.-t w ill he the nation
that win- the war. It i- horrible
to think about the tragedy of an-
other war, but we must face facta;
we live In a world of realities. Aa
long as the greed for conquest
lives in the heart and mind of man,
there will be danger of war, and
a* long as men live, there will be
some with a hardened heart and
distorted mind, where the greed
for conquest will find fertile soil.
Let us be sensible, let u.s realize
that there Is no panacea for war.
Let us acknowledge that the prin-
ciples of Christianity do not guide
the actions of all mankind. Let
us be prepared at all times to pro-
tect ourselves from the encroach-
ments of a ruthless enemy. Write
your Congressman to .support H.
It. IliHK and your Senator to sup-
port S-651. He a patriot, do your
part to save the lives of American
boys by taking advantage of this
measure to prevent war.
Wyatt W. Lipscomb,
Veteran of World War I

Probably the shortest railroad in
'Texas, and maybe in the whole
Vnited States, wa.- the Ka4land,
Wichita Falls and (iiilf, better
known *s the "K-ngling Koad" ! ■
cause it was built by the circus
king during the Kasiland county
oil boom of 1910 21
The line ran 1'rom Mangum
through Ivbstland to Hreekwalker
—(now do you know any more
than you did before?) Someone
*aid, "It runs from no place to
nowhere." Anyway, Mangum i>
10 miles south of Kastland and
Breckwalher i- a little farther than
that north of V i.-tland
Natural gasoline plants pros s■ i-

ine t (' .1 Khoile wouldn't
you know lv nickname wa "Du-
ty"? was general manager The
train went north in the morning
and south in the afternoon or
maybe it was the other way
around.
Odd thing about the little line
w;l- that it was one of the few-
railroad- in the country that went
through the depre -ion without
having to have government aid in
some form.
Hut it is no more. The track
have been taken up. The dun p
remains, but in a few ye.ai .
