What the Average Person You
Meet on the Streets Thinks ^
and Says—Public Mind
1— -Municipal Rose Garden
2— It’s nobody’s business
3— Negroes as Imitators.
4— “Acted fool” for 20 years
5— Wants Tribute to Ex-slave
6— .Schools need publicity
7— 7,000 adults in school
8— Sold a few books for Blind

10— Talks with deeds, not words
11— Horn peddlers and “Heroes”
12— Who pleads a handicap?
No. 1—A Tyler gentleman who
knows “a right smart about roses”
and has spent a “right smart” toward
making Tyler the Rose Capital of the
world;/“Have you seen the Munici-
pal Rose Garden on South Broadway?
It is in an awfully sorry shape. It is,
so I have been told, sponsored by the
Garden Clubs of the city—but I guess
they haven’t any money to keep it
cultivated and cared for—and I’m
saying that if we are going to have a
rose garden there the City Park
Board, or some agency of the city,
ought to supply some means for keep-
ing the roses pruned and properly cul-
tivated. Why next fall when the Rose
Festival comes around there are go-
ing to be thousands of people com-
ing here to see that garden—and
what will it look like if it is not cared
for? It has already suffered from
neglect—and it can not show at its
best, even if it has the best attention
from now on.”
EAST TEXAS BUREAU
TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
Longview, Texas, May 23.—A
Washington bureau will be establish-
ed at once by the East Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce for the purpose of
furnishing information and assist-
ance on work relief project applica-
tions under the new Federal five bil-
lion program to East Texas cities and
counties and to local chambers of
commerce affiliated with the regional
organization. President A. G. (Pat)
Mayes of Paris announced the new
service in Longview Sunday upon his
return from holding six district con-
ferences with directors and members
of the organization throughout East
Texas.
Hubert M. Harrison, vice president
and general manager of the regional
chamber, was unanimously chosen by
the district conferences to direct the
Washington Bureau and was author-
ized by President Mayse to proceed
‘to Washington within _ten days. Mr.
Harrison said he pTShs to leave for
the national capital within a few
days. The general program of devel-
opment and service to East Texas will
be carried "on vigorously by the staff
of the regional chamber.
“The recent suggestion made by
Mr. Harrison that we maintain a con-
tact man in Washington, to assist
East Texas communities in securing
projects under the new Federal work
relief program received my hearty ap-
proval,” Mr. Mayse said. “Our lead-
ers throughout our seventy-bounty
region have enthusiastically indorsed
i»he plan and have pledged their mor-
al and financial support.” - :
Dall&s Dog-Race Betting
Going to Mat With Officers
Austin, May 23.—Now comes the
prospect of, dog racing as another
“amusement” device on which Texas
citizens can wager their earnings, if
the slot machines, marble boards and
horse race mutuel machines leave
them any.
A syndicate in Dallas has announc-
ed that it will build a $10,000 dog
racing track, and District Attorney
Bob Hurt of Dallas county, countered
with an announcement that he will
segk an injunction if the track at-
tempts to open. Attorneys for the
promoters claim the San Antonio
court of civil appeals has rendered a
decision that dog track betting is as
legal as horse track betting. The dog
tracks aim at the poeketboik of the
little fellow who can’t afford to go to
a horse track. They charge 25 to 50
cents admission and take bets from
quarter up. Bill Cunningham, once
Texas newspaperman, recently
wrote a graphia account of how dogs
are trained to chase the mechanical
rabbit by attaching a real live Easter
rabbit to the machine, and letting the
dogs chase it, after thev’re been star-
ved for several days. The dogs catch
the helpless Easter bunny and devour
it. Nobody’s Business recommends to
any reader who isn’t sure how he feels
about dog racing that he mid Cun-
ningham’s article in a recent issue of
Collier’s.

COURSE AT DENTON
No. 2—A bystander, hearing No. 1:
“I haven’t seen the Municipal Rose
Garden lately—but I guess it’s in the
fix it’s in because of the old saying
that what’s everybody's business is
nobody’s business. I think that if it’s
going to be a failure because of ev-
erybody’s neglect, we’d better go out
there now and plow it up;”

EAST TEXAS FIDDLERS
WILL MEET IN ATHENS
Scores of fiddlers and hundreds of
lovers of old time fiddle tunes are ex-
pected in Athens, May 3lst, when
the Fourth Annual East Texas Fid-
dlers Convention will be held under
the auspices of the Athens Cham-
ber of Commerce. Ten big ca.sh prizes
will be offered and all features of the
day’s program will he free to the
public. Several prominent state offi-
cials are expected to attend.
Billed as “Bigger and Better—and all
Free”, this year’s convention is ex-
pected to attract the largest attend-
ance since 'the opening convention in
1932.
Playing in string bands, the com-
peting fiddlers will play both modern
and old-time tunes.
Thirty two string bands competed
for honors last year when Athens en-
tertained hundreds oTJvisitors from
all parts of East Texaw.
Any string band in East Texas de-
siring to enter the contest can do so
No.
Whitehouse: “You had some kind of a
piece in vour paper a week or two
ago saying that Negroes are jrood( writj to tho Athens Chamber of
imitators and that thev will imitate {n-----„„„„ no i;*f m;u ;a

things than in bad things. Reminds
me that, the negroes down there just
below Whitehouse are sure ‘going
wild’ about this club w*ork that the
white women and girls have been do-
ing for several vears. Mv wife knows
a good many of those colored women
■—and thev are all the time telling
her about their gardens, their can-
ning plans and what their girls are
doing in learning to do things in the
gardens, with chickens, and in im-
proving things around the house. Whv
a colored camp meeting would not be
to them a more important topic. I
hop*, these Negroes will he as en-
thusiasts about it when the new
wears off.”

Jacksonville, Texas, May 23.—To-
mati Gro, the fun night which will
conclude festivities attached to Jack-
sonville’s c^ebration June 2-5, will
be one of the most colorful events ev-
er staged in this section of the state.
L. C.‘ Powell, chairman of arrange-
ments for the carnival of mirth and
color,- is not revealing all of his plans,
but he has announced that prizes will
be awarded for the most artistic cos-
tume, the most comical, and to the
best, costumed couple.
“We all know that people like to
masquerade” said Mr. Powell, “and
this will give All an opportunity to
mix in the fun-making.”
Serenading musicians, in masked
costume, will add glamour to the
event which will have all of the as-
pects of world famous frolics. There
wilt bq a parade early in the evening,
at which time judges will award priz-
es, which will break up into street
dancing. With an open invitation to
all of East Texas, a large crowd is
expected to participate. There will be
no entry oh admission charges for the
merriment.
INTRODUCING OMEN’S
NEWEST DEVELOPMENT
-THE ‘POTATOM ATO’
Nature ran rampant in the Omen
community this spring, and. the re-
Slilt. ia jl enrimia hyV[pjjj—hfllf j?0~
tato and half tomato.
Several of the curious plants
wei'e discovered on the farms of
Miss Mary Childress, Pink Flor-
ence and T. E. Andrews.
Briefly explained: Irish potato
planks on those farms are pro-
ducing on their branches a fruit
closely resembling .tomatoes and at
the sarne tittle are developing the
usual crop of potatoes under-
ground.
The intrusion of pollen from to-,
mato plants in the vicinity is held
as the cause of the curious turn of
nature. v :
Resolutions Don’t Count When
Farmers Set Their Heads
Fort Worth, Texas, May 23.—The
West Texas Chamber of Cimmerce
adopted resolutions ^condemning the
AAA's, cotton policy. Rut at the same
time a large delegation of dirt farm-
ers from this state was in Washing-
ton pledging support to Secretary
Wallace and President Roosevelt for
the cotton limitation program. The
West Texas Chamber of CorAmerce
also indorsed the sales tax sdme time
ago. but the legislature didn’t pay
much attention to it. Probably Sec-
retary Wallace won’t either. How the
farmers and rural communities of
Texas feel toward the New Deal
was pretty well demonstrated last'
year in -the Conn ally-Bailey senatorial
race, where it was the only issue.
TYLER JR. COLLEGE HAS
HIGH RANK EVERY TEST
The fact that the Tyler Junior
College is one of the seven such or-
ganizations in the state to be admit-
ted to membershin in the Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools of
the Southern States, indicates the ex-
rollout record that tVio institution has
made in the nine years of its exis-
tence. Only seven of the thirty-six
iunior colleges in the state are mem-
bers of the association. ,
In a recent check made bv officials
of thp local college. it> was found_ that
the graduates who attended higher
institutions of learning had not a sin-
gle failure marked, up against them.
For the 1934:35 sessions here 1 10
students were enrolled. During the
two vears of work offered, each stu-
dent‘has the opportunity to partici-
pnte in virtually all of the activities
of the institution.
The college is also a member of the
Texas Junior College Association, the
American Association of Colleges, and
the Texas Association of Colleges.
C.C. PLANS TO MAKE US
‘INDUSTRIAL MINDED’
Dallas Speaker Touches New Note
ia Discussion of Problems Before
the World
Denton, Jday 23.—Believing that we
are faced with the absolute necessity
of ending evil ways of making mon-
ey, and staunchly declaring that the
heart of America has been lost to
immorality, the Hon. Marion S.
Church, eminent Dallas attorney,
spoke before the ninth annual short
course held at Texas State College for
Women (CIA) today (May 17) in
co-operation with the extension ser-
vice of A. and M. college. Despite ov-
erhanging clouds, approximately 1,-
500 men and women gathered from 26
Texas counties for one-day meet.
In his address Mr. Church pointed
out the adverse ways of making
money and • the changing political
methods which prevail in controlling
the affairs of the country. He stated
that the present condition of the
world was no act of God, but of our
own selves, and that money profits,
not patriotism, were behind it. In-
stead of bankruptcy of business we
are dealing with bankruptcy of hu-
man souls.
Mr. Church asked, “Is the world to-
day any better than it was when the
world war came to make it safe for
democracy, or was it any better than
than it is now? The World War
should have been called World Sin
for it was bred by greed. Greed is the

JIMMIE ALLRED’S SON
PULLS A ‘RED HOT’ ONE
Austin, May 23.—Jimmie J., 7-
year-old son of Gov. James V. Allred,
has demonstrated that a good many
___________ Texans need to review their Texas
basis’ of losing marketsTand the world i history in preparation for the Cen-
u, ” tennial next vear. Jimmie observed
has eclipsed with gold.
During the afternoon sessions, sep-
arate. meetings were held for men and
women. W. A. Orth, farm representa-'
tive of thd lUderal Housing Adminis-
tration spoke to the women on “Farm
Home Improvements That Anyone
May Make.” In his talk he expressed
the appreciation of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration for the coopera-
tion of the farm people in the Na-
tional Housing Act.
Mr. Orth reported that a farm sur-
vey was conducted a short time ago
to determine home conditions, and it
showed tht. need for a general mod-
ernization plan. He said in view of
this the National Housing Act was
passed.
Other speakers on the afternoon
program for women included Miss
Mattie Phbnix, formei\home demon-
stration agent of the 'tacas Exten-
sion Service, who spoke on “The Re-
sponsibility of Home Demonstration
Clubs in Preparing for the Texas Cen-
tennial,” and Miss Edith M. Brisac,

tries of the1 Colorful Period.” :

the knowing comments \yhich visitors

viewing two beautiful oil portraits of
two of Texas’ greatest heroes—Sam
Houston and Stephen F. Austin—that
hang in the mansion: So he switched
the; two brass plates, with the names
of the two men that were attached
to the bases of htft frames. Then he
giggled delightedly to himself fag a
couple of hours as dozens of visitors
admired “General Houston” while
gazing at the portrait of Austin and
vice versa. Not one of them noticed
the difference and young1 Jimmie had
so much fun he couldn’t keep the se-
cret, so he told his dad. Tha governor
sternly bade him put the proper
name back on each portrait, but Jim-
mie Jr., still thinks it was a good

Salyation Army met Tuesday after-
noon, and after hearing reports of
Adjutant Cherb, local Corps Officer,
made a survey of those needs and
conditions in the community which it
ia the province of the Army to minis-
ter unto. In view of the innumerable
demands that are, of necessity, be-
ing made upon the Salvation ArmyTir
Tyler, the Board issues the following •
statement and appeal:
TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND FEL-
LOW CITIZENS OF TYLER:
Closely in contact with the work
of the Salvation Army, having serv-
ed on the organization Board for a
number of years, and realizing the
splendid work carried on here in Ty-
ler by the efofrts of the untiring of-
ficers and knowing the many hours
spent by these officers and the exten-
sive program for jjetter citizenship
of our community and the far reach-
ing program of every human need,
we the undersigned members of the
local Advisory Board in session have
decided that it is absolutely neces-
sary and most imperative that the lo-
cal Board now call upon the citizens to
give financial support to this wonder-
ful organization that, its work may
properly continue.
There are no funds in the Treasury,
the organization has gone in debt to
carry on its work. There were not
sufficient funds raised’ last fall, in
the combined drive, to keep the Ar-
.my’s work going—and now this or-
ganization is faced with a heavy
debt, and the year only half gone. We
the members of this Advisory Board,
business men, the various commercial
and professional business interests in
our “city are willing to give of our
time and means to further support
this organization in carrying on its
many activities so necessary for the
building un of our community; and
we have the faith in the people of
Tyler that they will readily and gen-
erously respond to this our special ef-
fort at this time to raise the nec-
essary funds.
The best investments are in human
heimrs—the greater dividends come
from building up broken and shatter -
ed humanity in your community. The
reward is a hotter people, a happier
people, a more prosperous people. _

There is no other organization, or
group which gives our community
that type of service which has made
the Salvation Army everywhere stand
out as the greatest of humanitarian
organizations, striving not only to
relieve need and suffering, but to-
niake better men and women of those
with whom they have to deal and di-
rect them into higher and l|etter ways
of living.
Below is a brief summary of work
done by the Salvation Army, an or-
ganization that reaches a people not
reached by any other charitable or
religious organization. The Salvation
Army is renowned for its ability to
“stretch a dollar.” It keeps accurate
records of all finances and of all the
people it helps. The Salvation Army
works among people who need the
kind of services it renders. It gives
food—both, to Sou) and Body.“Tt gives
motto is “OTHERS.” ^
