Quality Over Measure
A lump of coal and a diamond
have the same basic ingredient—
carbon; yet we Americans do not
hesitate to invest hundreds or
thousands in the diamond. And us-
ually we make such a purchase on
the basis of our respect, for thp in-
tegrity of the dealer. We don't
look for labels or judge by the size
of the jewel box.
Similarly, it takes more than
just standardized labels or packag-
ing to make sure that the house-
wife gets the best buy for her
money. Buying wisely, after all,
involves more than pounds or
ounces per dollar; it involves qual-
ity, something that even the Fed-
eral government (at the present
time) is not proposing to stand-
ardize.
The proposed Hart packaging
bill would standardize dimensions
of weight, composition, etc., on the
label. It does not supply that in-
tangible measure of quality and
taste so important to the consum-
er. It does not establish the dif-
ference in true value as compared
to a lump of coal and a diamond,
a Paris original and a mass pro-
duced copy.
Isn't it just possible that the
store you patronize offers the best
products at the lowest prices, com-
mensurate with the quality you
desire? Competition at the mar-
ketplace demands it. Forced
changes in packaging, which con-
tribute nothing to the contents
value, will feed the fires of infla-
tion in the food you buy.
Interment was in the Sam Hous-
ton National Cemetery. — Edna

A modern and attractive port-
able, motorized Verson Solar Sys-
tem was presented to the El Cam-
po junior high school, in memory
of Mrs. Bessie Berger, by her hus-
band and daughter.—El Campo

A bid of $463,896 submitted by
Bauer Dredging Co. of Po.rt La-
vaca on a contract for cleaning the
Matagorda Ship Channel from the
pass across the Matagorda Penin-
sula to the turning basin at Point
Comfort, apparently is the lowest
received.—Port Lavaca Wave.
Rain and hail in various parts
of the county was reportedly dam-
aging to some of the cotton and
rice crops. Hail literally stripped
the leaves from the cotton plants
with some farmers stating that
they will have to replant their en-
tire crop.—Ganado Tribune.
The heavy rain early Monday
greatly benefitted Calhoun County
agriculture, but caused some in-
terruption of utility services and
other minor difficulties. The road
