NEW YORK tp— When the U. S.
National Tennis Tournament nets
under way at Foreat Hill* Friday,
among the spectators will be one
of the -great stars of the sport ;n
an earlier day. ft
"It'll be a busman'*'hoHday for
me. ' said Frank Hunter, who won
the world s doubles titles in 1957
with Bill Tilden and was ranked
by Tijden a* among the IS best
tennis players of all time.
, Although now past *0. Hunter
still keeps an active interest in
tennis, which he sevs ha* been
"a wonderful calling card all mv
life
“The pro* today are playing the
heat tennis that has ever been
played The garoe is faster now
because the whole emphasis is on
net play?'"
dared Aug. II and The best of the modern players
Is Panchn Gonzales, hut I think
that, on the record, Tilden was the
greatest player the game has ever
known, although he played * dif-
ferent type of game. t.__
"A champion plgys is.wetl as
manage- ** '* necessary for him to play in
* order to win. and Tilden «as a
champion who could meet any
emergency ’ ’
Hunter. now president of "51"
Brands, Inc . a liquor concern,
was a stocky, aggressive player
himself, lamous for his ngweift *
forearm smash He ranked second,
to Tilden tn 192" through 1929. quifi
the game in |9.tfi.
"I gave up when T found I was
six inches short on the overhead
shots and missing the long reach
shois bv a foot "he said, smiling.
"It * not much fun tn .continue
plsvi’ng a sport when you know
you've passed your peak.
"! think that ia the mistake
some players make now They
stav in competitive tennis too tong
after it‘s-clear they art not reaflv
going snyirhere."
After putting a wav hi* tennis
racquet. Hunter turned to the golf
club and the rifle. He still ha*
trouble breaking *0 on the link,*,
but ha* become one of the nation's
more renowned bird and big game
hunters.

Carman is aow staying at Gre-

you rare to drop him a card the
address in that city is: House No.
24, c o N. V'. Pabrik Semen Gresik.
His letter
sent by registered airmail, reads
a« follows:
"Having recently stayed *1 your
Orange House. I thought it, might

• This city. Gresik. is eight miles
outside of Surabaja where this Or-
ange House is located. The climate
is much like Orange, although! the
mosquito's are /nailer and lazier.
It is right on the sea.
"While you have eo scratch me

THE JACKSON TWIN*
And the governor is acting mosl wisely in his deci
Sion to appoint a lftO-member slalewide'^Vater Plartninj
Committee to assist in the preparation of water legist*
tion *ndfprovide the state with, the leadership in devel
oping a statewide roaster plan.
Such a plan, in our
water problem in Texas, provided it leaves each river
basin under the control of a iocal authority and it kept
out of politic*. Failure to do either of things will make
it impossible to carry anv program
veloped. to full-scale development.
•pThere also should be every precaution taken to avoid
conflict* between the statewide plan and masler pro-
grams for individual basins such as tHyot alreadv appro-
ved by the Board of Water Engineers for the Sabine
Fiver.
Daniel apparently is aware of the possibility of such
conflicts because he said vesterdav the river authorities
are being called in to present their watershed master
plans, from which the state program will be formulated.
As the governor pointed out in hi* original announce-
ment during the weekend. Sen. Johnson alreadv has done
a lot of spadework in Washington toward initiating ac-
tion bv federal agencies whose assistance would be need-
ed in some of the river basins
And be gave due recognition to his former Senate
colleague for his accomplishments in this respect.
But, as Daniel pointed out then, and repeated yester-
day, the federal agencies can do litfle or nothing until
the state government furnishes the leadership in this
cooperative endeavor:
Our own Sahine River Authority has shown what can
be done in the way of watershed planning and develop-
ment with the right sort of local initiative and leader-
ship. Its experience, applied statewide, can set the pat-
tern for solving thevfexas water problem.

Engineerihg Request Is Justified
The request for provision slatting next Jan. 1 of a
full-fledged counts engineering department, in our view
i* entirely justified.
A proposed budget, filed for public inspection in the
county clerics office yesterday, lets out an estimated
521.705 for this purpose during the calendar’ vear 1958.
That's quite a jump from the $9.00h added to this
years budget for this purpose, hut the fact* supporting
the increase suggest the requested amount should be

There were % a« many women j
as there were men on a train. |
At the next station, six men and
eight women got off the train, and
12 men and five women got. on.I
There were then 3-5 as m*nv worn-"1
en as men on the train. How many
of each were there on the train at
first?
Answer
44 men. 33 women. Let X equal
number of men origtnallv, and 3X
over 4 the number of women. The I
men gained «ix and the-women
lost three at the station. Form
equation: 3X over 4 minus 3 equal:
(3X plus 18) over 5. Solve for X-. \

This’posilion of dominance in fi-

male influence on politics, is recog-

most intriguing being this quota-

The countv commissioners are not engineers them-
selves. nor do they have time nowadays, with all their
other responsibilities, to spend most of their hours plan-
ning and overseeing road and bridge activities.
Bv delegating much of this responsibility to an engi-
neering department, the commissioners not only provide
the savings resulting from .technical experience, but also
free fh»mselves for more attention to other duties.
