The thin line of Leader • newsmen
manning the reportorical ramparts in
Orange County was reduced by one last
week due to a vacation and those left
had a bit of trouble keeping track of the
many things thtft were going on.
Some of the activities that kept the
news gatherers hopping were not exact-
ly pleasant but they were overshadow-
ed by numerous events for which bou-
quets can'be passed out. Among these:
Mammas aH-nfrer the county were
battening down the hatches in prepara-
tion for the closing of school and three
months during which the children
would be underfoot all day.
Teachers were preparing for well-
deserved vacations and, in many cases,
for spftding oqe of the summers they
“ devote to furthering their own
cation.
Two groups • of ■ school - trustees
•were getting ready to spend the sum-
mer improving things for the chil-
dren in their district. The Orange
School Board met for the first time
since a successful bond election and
started preparing for the improve-
ments it will allow. West Orange, al-
ready in'the midst of a school build-
ing program, saw its trustees moving
alongVwith plans for an athletic pro-
grain^ pacing that dTstrict’s transition
to full high school status.
.nd thf provision of outlets for
youthful energy was keeping other
foMcs in West Orange busy last week.
Citizens got together for further plan-
ning toward a community center that
will put emphasis on teenage recreation
and other citizens got together for the
opening of a brand new Little League
set up this year for that community
and the Cove Addition area.
AH over the county, ears perked up
at the news that a road planning loan
application filed last December had at
long last been approved by the federal
government. This will make possible a
new road bond program that has been
talked about for some three years now.
One of the stories we didn’t enjoy
covering last week was th? one about
the Jefferson County high school sen-
iors who got arrested for whopping it
up in this county. That unfortunate in-
cident, however, served to point up the
value of a program carried on here by
a large group of civic and service or-
ganizations. This was a “graduation
night” party for the Lutcher Stark
High School seniors- It turned out fine
and an orchid is due to each of the peo-
ple who planned and conducted the
event.
The hospital memorial fund cam-
paign was coming along fine. Contri-
butions late in the week pushed the
total over the-half-way mark and if
donations continue to come in at the
present rate this worthy project can
be successfully concluded soon.
Efforts to bring to an end the costly
construction strike that has plagued this
area for over two months continued
with some progress reported during the
week. It is to be hoped that the week-
end optimism for a quick end to this
dispute is fully justified.
The county’s Society for Crippled
Children got a $1,232 check representing
the local share of funds derived from
the 1956 Easter Seal Sale and we can
all be sure this money is going to be
put to good use.
Orange residents 'law a major ex-
pectation from a revenue bond issue
they approved last year become a real-
ity when City Commission ltet the first
contract in a master program of devel-
opment for the sewer system. x
Old Timers Assn, members held their
annual Memorial Day gathering at their
pavilion in Orange and everybody had
a wonderful time.
Fred Jensen.became the new worthy
president of the Eagles Lodge, which
is Snaking a major contribution to the
“pretty up downtown Orange” cgm-
paigtp in rebuilding the structure at 3rd
and Front Sts.-now serving the organi-
zation as a lodge hall.

SECOND THOUGHT
y By PHILIP LILLY
How big a man is phvsidfilV doesn’t ‘always count.
In fact, the bigger a man is physically in the newspaper game
the more of a target he becomes from the fisticuff angle.
That is how I see it.
In a comparatively short span of years in the game I have yet
to be the “victim” of another man who was irked
to the point of defending his honor with his
dukes.
Now there have been several indications that
such would develop but when it actually came
to the “field of combat” it never happened.
Perhaps it is just that irritated persons take
a gawk at mv apparent smallness of stature and "
decide, “What the, heck, it wouldn't be worth m.
bothering with It. to whip him.’'
In some respects I am a believer in some of
the philosophy espoused by the Nazi 'Germany
regime. Roughly it was: talk big. act big and dare
anyone to take you on. Oftimes than not it works.
But, as it Was with Nazi Germany, there is also
the day of reckoning always to anticipate.
There was another point the Nazis made. That was by the
propaganda minister Paul Goebbels. It was kicked off the
ground by Herr Hitler himself. He taught part of the world
that you can keep repeating something long enough to make
a lie become accepted as a fact. In other words tell a lie long
enough and convincingly enough and it will be believed. This
can be dene and It is done frequently in this country too.
I’m not bragging, you understand, about mv physical prowess.
Far from it. Couldn’t punch a hole in a paper bag so to speak.

We hope that the Cove School Board gets itself off on the
right foot under the new president, E. W. Allen. But if the first
meeting in the “new regime’’ is any indication it is off on the
wrong foot as far as The Leader is concerned. We weren't noti-
fied of the meeting and happened on the fact it met sheerly as a
result of interest.
Any public body expending public funds should not only con-
sider it their duty but their prime interest to get the facts before
the public. There is only one workable means. Notify the press in
advance of your meetings so they will arrange to attend. Then
neither we—as protectors of the public interest—or the public as
our readers have any kick coming.
There is a bone of contention between any outfit that tries
to withhold facts from The Leader and its staff. No matter how
you slice it, if the press doesn't know' of your meetings the
public doesn’t. There is no wav of justifying it. We are as close
as your telephone and we don’t work strictly eight hour shifts.
Circlaville
June 2. 1956
Dear Editor: >
As you know, around Circleville,
wc consider ourselyes about like
Congress when it comes to fat-
reaching advances in science like
unlocking the secrets of nuclear
energy, hydrogen bomb techniques,
etc., that is, for both us and Con-
gress, it’s mostly a spectator sport,
neither of us has the scientific train-
ing td participate in the activities.
None the less, neither Circleville
nor Congress is awed to the point
of being swept off its feet. After
all; thermonuclear energy is in the
final analysis still just energy, the
same kind, however multiplied, (hat
if takes to pull on your line when
your cork goes under.
. But what I started out to do was
to report or) a new undertaking pro-
posed by the Circleville Chamber of
Commerce.
The organization is in no way op-
posed to spending 10 or 15 pillion,,
dollars a year or whatever, the"
figure is on hydrogen bomb re-
search, satellite launchings, etc:, nor
is it opposed to spending 50 million
dollars on new highways, even
though personally Circleville al-
ready has a highway and Ayould be
scared to death to own a bomb, but
what it, wou|d kile also is for Con-,
..gress to. set up a. fund.„tor.,ne.smcJi.i.
-tp the commoner phases of’iife.. F
For -example, the chamber ofj
commerce pointed out, there's noth-!
ing more ridiculous than a' thermo- j
nuclear, scientist,, with poison ivy,!
What ifi more preposterous than a |
rocket scientist, about to pull the
trigger on a satellite to outer space,
holding up . the historic event and
maybe even missing his aim bv
having to stop to scratch a chigger
bite? What sort of ox-cart thinking
requires a hydrogen bomb expert,
going over last-minute calculations
on a lonely stretch of South Pacifi'c
island sand before testing an ex-
plosive capable to wiping out 14
cities if the wind is right, to slap
nt a mosquito? Has Congress ever
considered that one rat, gnawing i
oh one electrical wire, might undo 1
a year's work of the best scientific !
brains and a billion dollars from an
unbalanced budget?
The Circleville group would like
to see Congress appropriate one bil-
lion dollars to be spent on research
on eliminating flies, mosquitoes*,
chiggers. rats, boll weevils, red
ants, wasps, and poison ivy —
a sort of crash program for the lit-
tle things of life.
1 agree with this proposal 100 per
cent. It s all right tt> spend billions
for scientific advances into the un-
known, but even if man succeeds in
exploring the universe, he may find
checking endlessly on one planet
after another will get monotonous
and boring and want to return to
the pleasures of ordinary living, in
the conviction other pastures were
not as green as they . Iqpked, as
Circleville knew all along.
What the world needs is a founda-
tion bent on improving ordinary life
here, just in case outer space turns
out to be a flop.
Yours faithfully,
H. B. Fox

JAILBIRD WATCHING
THAT IS!
How Can I?
UP WICHITA. KAN., WAY—We hear by mail from his wife
that JoeTOJilmartin is now at his first love, sports,’ reporting with
the Wichita Beacon. Many will remember Gilmartin as the aff-
able guy who preceded yours truly on the courthouse beat.
In fact, we hear he's sports editor and spends much of the
time on the road with the baseball nine. Seventeen days this
month he is on the road, Mrs. G., reports.
HEARD THIS DEFINITION—Repeat without comment the
following newsman’s definition of a dummy: The facsimile gad-
gets which the editors lay out the newspaper on. This reporter
said a dummy in the city editor's book was just any old reporter.
REPEAT PERFORMANCE—The only sensible approach to
providing better schools throughout Texas is for the state to
adopt countywide school systems. Then you won’t be bothered
with impoverished school boards who cry tuition Is killing us.
You’d find nothins like the “wealthy” West Orange and Or--
angefield boards as compared to Cove and Bancroft.
True Rsme counties would be just about as bad off. The big-
gest gripe hear4 is we'd lose control of our schools. That just
isn’t true. The jnty is so set up under a county system that
every area would be represented. Certainly it is best to have the
superintendents’ office in the/minty seat but this is not always
the case. Where the county seat is not the largest town it is con-
sidered practical to have dual offices, one in both.
I have attended school in county systems and my wife has
taught in them. There are not the worries of tansportation like
there are in Orange. The boards are set up on non-partisari tickets
and it is .strictly against the laW to mess in politics. Then, too.
if the systems were statewide ther-e wouldn't be all this employe
jumping from one distict to another.
Under well governed county systems a teacher, coach, principal
or janitor can’t jump a contract, in midterm or •'even at the end
of the term. If an employe doesn't have a release from one con-
tract he can't get another at any county in the state. In Texas
independent districts, a contract isn't worth the paper it’s written
upon.
Again I point to the tax dollar savings in cutting out so much
administration costs. There would be h0 need for nine different
administrative offices, nine different tax collecting offices and
nine different sets of underlings for each.

Q. How can I remove rust from
Iron or steel?
A. There is nothing like a touch
of kerosene, applied with powd-
ered bath brick to give it the
proper amount of roughage.
Q. How can I make easy the
task of reknitting a sweater?
A. The (ask of reknitting a
sweater can be made easier if the
kinks are first taken out of the
yarn. Wind the yarn in a skein,
tie together firmly, and wash it
in lukewarm water. Then fold in
a towel and put in a warm place
to dry. The kinks will be gone
When the yarn has dried.
Q. How can I renew velvet?
A. Steam velvet over the spout
of a tea-kettle. Place a funnel
in the spout and you will be able
to cover a larger area.
