Wehe just a little newspaper
and make no attempt to cover the
iv“vs outside our section. But when
we heard of Argentina Dictator
Juan Peron’s taking over La Pren-
sa, probably the leading Spanish
language newspaper in the West-
ern Hemisphere, we felt called up-
on to say something. La Prensa
was no Communist organ. It was
what we Americans call a sober,
middle-of-the-road newspaper. The
free press, invented only about
300 years ago, is comparable toi
Safety Alliance
Names Local Men
To Top Positions
Residents of the Southwestern
section made practically a clean
sweep of the offices in the Hous-
ton region of the Texas Safety
Association, according to an an-
nouncement by Charles A. Miller,
chairman of the nominating com-
mittee.
Among local men chosen to the
executive committee, in addition
to Mr. Miller, who lives at 2618
Cason, were W. Stewart Boyle of
2102 Sunset Boulevard, James F.
Madigan of 6519 Rutgers and R. B.
Roaper of 4706 Linden.
A. R. (Mike) Duke of 3767 Jar-
din was named finance committee
chairman for the trucking indus-
try and D. M. Farrell of 3021 Al-
bans was elected regional vice
president.
Area residents on the board of
directors include Ed C. Burris of
2637 Pittsburg, W. Carloss Mor-
ris's, Jr. of 2312 Bluebonnet and
Frank H. Smith of 4104 Rice
Boulevard.
the more recently-devised incan-
descent light. There is no subtlety
about it. When a light goes out
in a room or when the free press
goes out in a country, it takes no
genius to realize that only dark-
ness remains . . .
Something new and long-needed
has at last reached the market. In
the Southwestern section, where
just about the largest lot is a half-
acre, these wooden air-conditioning
towers have sometimes been both
unsightly and noisy. Several dis-
putes have even come before city
councils about them. Now Rouse
Lumber Company has come out
with “Frigid-Fount,” an air-con-
ditioning tower that looks like and
is a garden fountain.
Difficult Choice
Old Batch Stafford, the thrifty
mountaineer, had long been divid-
ing his attentions between skinny
Elviry and buxom Matilda, the
village spinsters. One day a tipsy
town loafer said: “When are you
going to make your mind up twixt
them two gals, Batch?”
“Cain’t say,” replied the thrifty
bachelor. “Matilda’s bigger and
stouter and can do more work.
Still, on the other hand, it only
takes three yards of calico to
make Elviry a dress.”
