the Limited Editions Club’s 2Sth
anniversary banquet wAs Sir
Francis Meynell. He made a
speech, but it came by tape, he
himself could not gel here. He had
visa trouble.
In March. George Maty, the
club's founder and director, 're-
ported that Sir Francis was in-
vited but, Macy added, it was
rumored that once in the Brit-
isher’s callow youth he’d been
briefly a Communist, and .con-*,
sequently, nothing less than high
level attention ih Washington was
needed for his request for a per-
mit. After ;the banquet Macy cor-
rected thaf:
Sir Francis had hbl been a
Communist, He had. however,
been associated with George

leader, and edited Lansbury's

information divulged in London
had to be passed on in Washing-

on May 7, too late for him to

There's Bitterness Upriver Today
Them* a feeling up the Sabine River
Watershed today that the-City of Orange
• can’t be trusted and it’s entirely justified.
J net how intense this feeli \e will become
1 mnd Its future effects upon th? Sabin? River
development program remain to be seen ■*
. " Of this much we can be sure, however,
i The spirit of complete friendliness and co-
operation which has prevailed so far in this
important undertaking has been cracked and
a wide split is in prospect. The extent will
; depend on the decision which the people of
| Orange, speaking through their City Com-
; mission, make concerning the Sabine River
j Authority’s proposal to buy the local water
. I-- system.,,......
Here is what has transpired so far—the
V background,for a situation which may earn
: the City of Orange a reputation as a com-
w-tnunitv’ of untrustworthy people
Last year, after the taxpaying voters of
Orange voted about four to one against a
proposal for city ownership of the water
system, directors Of*the authority saw an
opportunity to render a service to this com-
munity and. at the same time, earn a profit
which could be plowed into river develop-
ment for the” common good of all com-
munities along the stream—especially Or-
‘ ange. >
1 Assuming that the heavily unfavorable
—vote on the issue nf mupteipaf- ownership of
! the property rul'eii out an earlv attempt to
revive that proposition, the SRA directors
came to Orange’s City Commission and, in
. effect, said this:
We believe you should own your water
system but your people have turned thumbs
down on the idea. Would you like for us to
attempt to negotiate for the purchase of the
' property, giving vou an option to buy it from
us at any date in the future on wlpdi your
jsitizens mav decide to acquire jt? ............
t City Commission said yes and. assuming
that the city government was acting in good
faith, the authority' 'began steps to acquire
■ the- water system.
It topic almost a year to get all the,
engj»Bering work done, arrange financing
*iid negotiate with the, pronertv’s present
" owner. Gulf States Utilites Co. And it cost
a lot of money—money which never would
have been spent by the SRA except for the
confidence of that agency’s directors in the
peonle of Orange and their city government.
Friday night the time came for the people
of Orange and their government, to demon-
strate that the confidence placed in them bv

rectors was justified
Apparently it wasn't. Instead of keeping
faith with the authority. City Comn^ssion
went off on a tangent and started talking
about calling another election 'on the ques-
tion of municipal ownership - /
That’s the basis for the bitterness against
Orange up the Sabine River Watershed today
—bitterness which is bound to become wide-
‘ spread and intense unless the people of Or-
ange view this issue in its true perspective
and see to it that their City Commission
keeps faith with the Sabine River Authority.
Profit Depends on the Management
The factoir that created the danger just
mentioned above was The disclosure (from
data prepared for the Habine River Author-
ity) that the water system, under public
ownership, can be profitable.
City Commission and a few private citi-
zens attending Friday night’s hearing were
bedazzled by that7 prospect for profit and,
•temporarily at ieasti -were--deprived of their “
.ability to see beyond their noses.
And one thing that lay just a little be-
yond their noses is the fact—well known to
all of them—that profit depends on good
management/
The only criterkm-%-AMhieh~tOr.jttdge^Ws--“
city's prospects for managing a utility well
enough to make it profitable is the municipal-
ly-owned sewer system, and that’s all bad.
If the water system is taken over by the city
and operated in' the same loose manner as
the sewer system it, too, will be an unprofit-
able headache. *'
But there is one hope for profitable opera-
tion/)! both—a city jnanager form of govern
mem,
do, if the peoplh of this community ap-
prove the purchase/of the water system thev
certainly will need also to approve the city
manager proposal
Dear ed*t»r. * "... *
Understand, I've got enough
problem* of my own out here on
mv farm' on Cow Bayou to use up
all the thmfcin power I have or
ever will have, when a man’s crons
get in the shape mine are in. the
world's problems ordinarily seem
pretty little,1 but 1 never did be-
lieve in a man bein selfish and
devptm all his time to hi* own
) problem, so 1 have been doirt some
thinkip lately'o« the world prof
lem. ■/
, The way I see it is. the worfd's
crops are pretty grassy, too. with
a poor stand to sta^t with, and
there are some people who ain’t
store a crop i#. gonna be m4de this
- year. , —' , /
The trouble is, : here's an outfit
' jp-Ttussia worse than all the in-
sects a 'farmer was ovt bothered
With, and up to now hasn't any-
body figured out /he proper in-
secticide /
It goes like /this: they break
out say in Korea, and we spend
two years tryin to get cm under
control, and we finally do, at least
we back erp up to the fence row
and keep .yguard posted, and theh
they break out ip Indo-Ctuna. and
the othe/ day I read where there
was indications they're gonna
break but in Guatemala, down in
South America, which is gettin
eV’en closer to home, and they're
spotted all through Europe and
AKia.
/it's sort of like fightin gophers
by aittin by the hole Waitin for
'one to stick his head up. Even if
he sticks hi* head up and you hit
him, another one may come*out at
a hole a little turther over/ an’d
f.iOV * *
pfyin
ready
Ordinarily, you might sav the
thing to do is root out the head-
quarters, the source of supply, but
these gophers ain’t like the prairie
kind, they gen powers of retalia-
tion to such an extent there might
be some question of who was
rootin out who. While maybe we
could handle em in the long run
w* d sure Suffer a lot in the pro-
cess.
What to do' with them Russians
with their unlimited slave labor
prod uni) bombs and airplanes for
three sorry meals a day. is more
than I can figure out, and . the
more I read the newspapers the
more I discover I ain’t by mvseif,
J^onaliy, I’m glad I’m in the
iarrmn bu*ni*>** instead of the
statesmanship bu&mess Mine’s a
snap.
Yours faithfully,
