people to some rare eating. D. E.
Banks formerly endeavored -to keep
us supplied with this delicacy but it
seems his pigeons couldn't raise
them fast enough for Mr, Banks and
JAUB and so we came out on the
short end of the deal. We don’t see
why somebody don’t raise squabs
on a commercial basis, or maybe
there is. If so, we wish you would
come In and see us.
—JAUB—
A man who said he was a print-
er just dropped in to see if we had
work for (him. We courteously told
m him we did not, that in fact we
had barely enough to keep our reg-
ular crew busy. Acting very much
as if he thought it were our fault
- because he was out of employment,
he said, “Well. I sure have been
having a hard time and I would like
to get enough work to buy some
food." We explained that we. too,
were having a hard time paying our
present employees and that as much
as we regretted it we would be un-
able to stake him for a good meal.
Because of the depression, drouth,
New Deal taxes and the recession,
The Texan has had to stop buying
meals for “tramp” printers, so heavy
has tlie demand become for this
kind of help.
'The joker of the whole situation
is that our newspaper pays $30.00
per month or $360.00 per year in
federal Unemployment tax alone to
support these people who are un-
employed. The government makes
us pay this because we employ over
8 people. Untold millions are being
dished out by the -government for
charity and relief purposes, and yet
the requests for local and transient
charity continue to grow. How much
longer do you suppose this condition
can exist before there will be an up-
rising on the part of the little busi-
ness men who are paying the fid-
dler, often on borrowed money?

had covered the area between here
and Canyon eight inches deep; and
the fall in the Hereford sector was
estimated at eight inches.
The fall in the extreme northern
portion of the Panhandle was much
lighter than in the immediate Ama-
rillo vicinity, but the entire section
was mantled.
Temperature ranged from about
32 degrees to 46 degrees in the Pan-
handle yetserday, and the warm
weather caused the wet snow to melt
slowly and soak into the ground,
aiding the already greatly benefited
range and farm lands.
The Union Bus Depot here re-
ported an average of about four
Inches of snow all the way from
Lubbock on the South Plains to
Canyon, with some rain, also, in
that territory. A heavy covering of
snow was reported north at Dumas,
east to McLean, south to Lubbock
and west to Albuquerque, N. M., by
the bits depot. Some busses were
running about 20 minutes late yes-
terday, as travel on several high-
ways was difficult.
Tucumcari Is Center
Although Amarillo and vicinity
received the largest amount of snow
in the Panhandle, Amarillo was on
the eastern edge of the snow, weath-
er observers said. The center of tlie
snow was around Tucumcari, N. M.,
where a heavy fall was reported,
with the moisture conditions mov-
ing into this country from around
El Paso. Snow was reported at
Hobbs. N. M., and between Clovis
and Roswell. The heavy snow did
not reach Roswell, it was said, but
that section received rain.
The Port Worth and Denver dis-
patchers said the pnow extended
only to Clarendon, but that mist
and rain fell intermittently through-
out Wednesday night and Thursday
at Memphis. EsteUine and Childress
southeast. The fall extended only
about 50 miles east toward Okla-
homa City; and Canadian, although
skies there were overcast, received
no moisture .
Roads Near Impassable
Over in the Oklahoma Panhandle,
The religious faith of thousands of Chinese refugees, driven from
their Shanghai homes by the fury of the Japanese onslaught, was
immeasurably restored when they returned to find images of their
holy men- standing unscathed in the Chapei sector, as pictured
above. Shells and bombs had devastated the entire area and piled
debris around the feet of the images without damaging them.

without authorization from the
War Department, Col. Daven-

dant of Hamilton Field at San
Francisco, was relieved of his
command and given a secondary
post at Chanute Field, 111.
Friends of Johnson charged he
was “disciplined” as an indi-
rect rebuke to McNutt, but War
Department officials insisted it
was a routine transfer.
