(Wherein the director of public relations at the
Gonzales Warm Springs Foundation tells of Texas’
own physical rehab center and also throws in a little
tongue-in-cheek palaver for which, incidentally, the
management is not responsible.)
Well, the time is at hand for
toasting the New Year, and
many a wassail cup is being
raised on high in expectation of
great and good things to come.
While this, no doubt, is as it
should be, I hope that we will
also reserve a few of our fes-
tive moments to pay due tribute
to Old Man 1958.
1958 was typified by the Amer-
ican tradition of the triumph
of virtue, the winning of goals
by patience, perseverence, and
prespiration. Yes, 1958 was an
Horatio Alger comeback type
year.
A year ago, for example, we
were staring somewhat hyster-
ically into the teeth of a great
business recession. Then, when
it appeared the massacre was
inevitable, the cavalry galloped
through the pass and we wound
up camping on the lush high
plains of plenty.
A year ago the Russians were
thumbing their Red noses at us
and making world-wide prop-
aganda hay simply because they
got the juirip on us in slinging
satellites into the stratosphere.
Prospects looked pretty bleak
for a long time, but we finally
hoisted old Atlas up there and
ended up riding as high as a

. Here’s to 1959! We greet the New Year with the sincere
hope that it brings good fortune to all our friends, whose patronage we
deeply appreciate. May 1959 find you in the best of health and spirits, and
leave you twelve months richer in happiness, friendship and achievement.

L
coon in a corn patch.
A year ago it looked "like we
would have to resign ourselves
to a fashion fad which thorou-
ghly concealed, obscured and
distorted the female form. Now
praise heaven, sacks are again
being used primarily for cotton-
seed cake, oats, flour, and like
that — and not for tomatoes.
Yes sir, 1958 has proven once
again that the early stages of
the game are not necessarily so
important. It’s those last quar-
ter touchdowns that tell the
story.
The Texas Rehabilitation Cen-
ter of Gonzales Warm Springs
Foundation enters the New Year
with plenty of clouds still on
the horizon. We came a long
way in 1958, thanks to the hard
work and sympathetic interest
of a lot of fine Texans, but so
very much needs to be done that
we cannot stop to rest.
The key to our problem is to
see that more folks get to know
the significance, the possibili-
ties, and the tremendous needs
in the field of comprehensive re-
habilitation. Our resolve for the
New Year is to do everything we
can in this area, and needless to
say, we would like to have your
help.
Happy New Year everyone!

Money may be the husk of
many things, but not the kernel.
It brings you food, but not ap-
petite; medicine, but not health;
acquaintances, but not friends;
servants, but not loyalty; days
of joy, but not peace or happi-
ness.

but by the number of good deeds

A old lady entered a suburban
home and greeted a small boy
saying: "You don’t know me,
but I am your grandmother, on
your father’s side.”
The boy looked surprised and
said: "Well, I can tell you right
now — you are on the wrong
side.”

8.870 Lbs. of
(J. S. Satellites
Now In Orbit
The Air Force’s talking satel-
lite has proved that the United
States can match — and even
excell — Russia in throwing its
weight around.
According to the research de-
partment of the World Book
Encyclopedia, the Atlas has
boosted the total weight of
American satellites launched to
more than 8,900 pounds — more
than twice the weight of Rus-
sia’s three Sputniks put together
The four-ton Atlas, which
blasted off from Cape Canaveral
on December 18, is a far cry
from America’s first satellites,
which Soviet Premier Nikita S.
Khrushchev dubbed “oranges."
The Army’s Explorer I, which
was launched last January,
weighed 30.8 pounds. The tiny
Vanguard I, which followed in
March, weighed a mere 3% lbs.
The United States now has
8.870 pounds of earth satellites
whirling around the globe, in-
cluding Explorers I and IV and
Vanguard I. Explorer II never
orbited, and Explorer III burn-
ed up after three months.
Russia has only Sputnik III,
which tips the scales at a little
less than 1V2 tons or 2,925 lbs.
The Atlas is the longest as
well as the fattest baby moon
of the space age. It is 85 feet
long, compared with Sputnik III
which is ll34feet.

A Icit of things must be decided
by the CCC before the new cotton
crop of Chinee “A” and “B” starts
to move . “A” cotton must be
supported at 80% of parity, cata-
loged and offered for sale at 1107*
of **8” support and the law says
the CCC must “own” it before it’s
resold . . what’ll this mean to the
cotton buyer??? . . - especially
the country buyers and ginners
who traditionally buy much of the
cotton passing through their gins
. . . taxpayers would have a size-
able saving, we're sure, if the pres-
ent marketing system were utilized
by the CCC officials of the
CCC seem to agree . . . but it does
present problems . . . however,
since the current marketing sys-
tem was developed by stiff com-
petition over many years and
moves cotton to manufacturer at
an unbelieveably low cost, it's an
excellent bet that the government
won’t be able to devise a system
that’s any better ... or half a3
good . . as both farmer and tax-
payer you better hope the present
marketing system will be retained.
New Grader
A leading cotton merchant is
trying out an electronic cotton
grader . . . anyone can operate it
with five minutes instruction . . .
you just offer it a sample of cot-
ton . . . the machine looks at it
and prints the result within 10
seconds . . . tells you everything
you need to know except staple . .
however, don’t look for one in your
neighborhood any time soon . . .
it’s still experimental . . . but it
is the shadow of things to come . ..
mass use could be another step
in reducing cost of cotton to the
manufacturer.
Better Off?
The Agriculture Department
says the farmer will have the
highest income in history by the
time the new year rolls in . .
if the figures are right (and we’ll
get some argument here) the an-
nual per capita income of fanners
will top $1000.
How Much “A” and “B”?
A couple of editors wo know
have completed polls among farm-
ers as to how much Choice “A”
and “B” cotton will be planted next
year . . . results of one showed,
roughly, 357c favored “A” and
657o favored “B” . . . other poll
indicated, roughly, 657c favored
“A” and 357o favored “B”. . .

up our mind on the question: You
