Musgrove Speaks
To High School
Students of Albany High
School heard the Honorable
Burke Musgrove blast LSD and
similar drugs, explain the pass-
ing of bills and the responsibil-
ities facing the youth of the
nation last Wednesday. He was
introduced by Philip Dodson,
president of the senior class.
Mr. Musgrove has done a
tremendous Job in outlawing
LSD and he gave an Informa-
tive, timely and alarming ac-
count of the use of drugs. He
has an exhausting schedule of
speaking engagements in his
effort to make the young peo-
ple aware of the dangers of
drugs.
Testing schedule here Wed-
nesday cut Short his question
and answer period after his lec-
ture, but tentative plans are
that he will return (or a half-
day class visitation In the near
future.
A Texas flag which has
flown over our state capitol
was presented to the school by
Mr. Musgrove and accepted by
Joe Bray, president of the
student body.

TAX MAN SAM 8EZ:
Thousands of tapayers are
concerned about whether they
will be required—or their heirs
will be required—to file an es-
tate tax return when they die.
Since the Agriculture Extension
Service says that the average
value of a Texas farm nowa-
days la $250,000, it is obvious
that many taxpayers need to
consider the estate tax prob-
lems.

by Mrs. Mariam Richardaon du
Mars. She was the daughter
of T. M. Richardson, early day
lumberman here, remembered
by the old timers. A part of
the story might be interesting
to local readers:
A former resident of Okla-
homa City who came here from
Albany, Texas, with her mother
to Join her father and brothers
soon after the run of '89, has
written a novel which high-
lights some of the experiences
of her family.
She Is Mrs. Mariam Richard-
son Du Mars of Topeka, daugh-
ter of T. M. Richardson, the
pioneer, and sister of the late
T. M. Richardson, Jr., like his
father once a banker and lum-
ber dealer here, and one time
territorial bank commissioner.
The Richardsons lived in a
big, two-story house with lots
of gingerbread around the long
front porch, which stood at the
corner of NW 6 and Robinson,
where later the Shrine temple
was erected, becoming the
Home Insurance Co. building
as H now stands.
Although her book, "Seeds of
the Nation," Is listed as a novel
It is obvious that it is quite bi-
ographical in spots, even to the
„ names of the chief characters.
A market speculator, asked Mr.Du Mar's
his view of the stock situation, a* Meriwether ^haHsonand
