By the Associated Press
A hodge-podge of weather dis-

winds and jeopardized three ships,
left Lake Erie regions smarting 1
from lashing gales, and caused
forest fires in upper New York,
bush and swamp fires in Canada.
It is indeed an honor to welcome Honorable
Coke R. Stevenson and David M Warren, president j
of the Texas Press Association on the occasion of the
barbecue and state-wide social gathering of civic ;
leaders politicians and publishers, at which they are
honored guests, to be held in Borger tomorrow
To our honored guests we extend our hand in
friendship.
It is no small matter of pride to those who live
here to have their Governor visit with them, to talk
with them, to enter their homes, their businesses and
their industries, that he might know more about West |

them

to President Dave M Warren, to pay his respects to,
his "boss" in the publication of today's HERALD, by !
carrying in the paper as near as possible a complete
history of his newspaper career and other activities.
This is indeed a rare occasion, and also a surprise to
Mr. Warren who told the editor to "turn the paper
over to the Governor," for, like all newspaper men,
he avoids publicity.

Biographies of great publishers
line the shelves. Histories of jour-

py one section. There are techni-
cal books on advertising, circula-
tion, business management, etc.
And then there are books written
by newspapermen about a med-
ley of things. They deal with
preachers and politicians, scien-
tiests and soldiers, the meek and
the mighty. Knowing one-tenth of
what is in those book* would be
worth more than a degree in Jour-
nalism to a young person. Scann-
ing the titles would give many a
curious editor a new conception of
Dave Warren; but, as far as th.s
writer knows, none of his em-
ployes have ever read two per
cent of them and few Texas edi-
tors have ever stuck a nose in the
vault where these valuable books
are housed.
Is Date Warren a traveler, a
banker or a newspaperman? He
is a newspaperman He has been
in the business since he was fif-
teen. While in high school in
Missouri, where he graduated a
valedictorian of his class, he
worked on a newspaper. He earn-
ed his way through the University
of Missouri by newspaper work
In 1919 he came to Texas and
located at Amarillo, where he rose
to be managing editor of The Ain

Is Dave Warren married? Yes. !

Mrs. Warren was a competent
journalist before she married. She

is no Eddie Cantor. He has no
daughter, but he does know that
eventually the average son leans
to his mother while the average

something that was in her father.
It is such knowledge a this that
causes Dave Warren to take his
duties as a parent seriously even
as he enjoys the privilege.

Because these are questions that
