J. W. HALL
The older people of Humble
were deeply grieved to read of
the death of J. W. Hall the past
week.
Mr. Hall has done much for
Humble in the past. A leader
in the early business lite of the
community he «et a fine exam-
ple of integrity in business. He
was a good neighbor and a
friend.
Mr. Hall's entry into political
life wa#as county commissioner
fromr^this precinct and his serv-
ices were most valuable. Later
he broadened his sphere of act-
ivity going to the state senate
and later becoming Tax Collect-
or for Harris County, from
which position ill health caused
him to retire.
The Echo extends to Mr.
Hall’s family its sincerest sym-
pathy.
The County Camp
We are just a little alarmed
at the fact that so much of the
precinct equipment that has
farmerly been kept at -Humble
has been moved. We sincerely
hope that our new county com-
missioner does not intend to
move the camp from Humble.
This is a logical location for the
headquarters of this part of the
precinct. How about it, Mr.
Parker?
Mrs. Dan Floyd trom And-
erson, Texas visited the Benar-
dtno's at the City Cafe Sunday.
HUMBLE VIEWS
In “viewing" Humble this
week the thing that impressed
us the most was the War Chest
Drive. Now don't mistake us,
this is not an official report be-
cause the reports are not in yet.
and neither are we official. Re-
gardless of the amountof money
obtained we feel that Humble is
the gainer because of the unsel-
fish work of many in a most
worthy cause.
The part in the drive played
by the school children was most
interesting; there were stories
of children who brought their
pennies and nickles; of children
who gave up their pleasures,
sacrificed the weekly picture
show, and one little girl went
further and earned money at
home by washing dishes; then
there was the lad who gave his
entire weekly allowance; many
of the school children sold cakes
and pop corn at the football
game; the older high school
students who earn money in
their spare time were very lib-
eral.
With the influence of the Am-
erican home most ably second-
ed by an understanding and
and helpful corps of teachers in
the school is the answer. We
need have no fear of the future
of our country when it will be
tin the hands or so human a
group of young people.
We older people might well
go iato executive session with
ourselves and make a few com-
parisons. We gave to the Chest
it is true, but how many of ns
made really sacrificial dona-
tions?
It is heartening to know that
we who have so much are
sympathetically interested in
the sufferings of those others
who have so little save suffer-
ing. And last but not least,
our hat is off to the school facu-
lty.
