Editorials...
WE BELIEVE:
Every government official or board that
handles public mone$ should publish at
regular intervals an accounting of■ it show
ing where it was obtained and how each
dollar is spent. The Edna Herald holds
this to be a fundamental..principle of dem-
ocratic government.
freedom bond drive
4-H’ers Honored
When President Lincoln signed into
law a bill that eventually led to the estab-
lishment of 68 land-grant colleges and
universities he hoped “to promote the
liberal and practical education of the in-
dustrial classes in the several pursuits and
professions of life.”
Even though Lincoln was sSaddened by
civil strife which was tearing' the,nation
apart,* he did envision a United States
where higher education would be avail-
able to all.
Would he be comforted to know that
100 years later well over half a million
students are enrolled in land-grant institu-
tions? Or that these educational establish-
ments also are the fountainhead of agri-
cultural, technological and scientific
knowledge for the very young?
For more than a half century, our land-
grant universities and colleges have been
“extending” s..ch information to 4-H Club
members. Today more than 93,000 clubs,
from Maine to California, are well into
the 1962 program.
The agency that directs 4-H work is
the Cooperative Extension Sendee, an edu-
cational arm of the land-grant system and
the USDA. One of its functions is to
supervise. extension personnel and 4-H
activities in son#3,000 counties involving
400 000 volunteer adult leaders, and 2.3
million 4-H’ers between the ages of 10
and 21 years.
As times have changed and population
shifted, so has the Extension Service and
its. 4-H program devoted to the fourfold
development of boys and girls: Head,
Heart, Hands and Health pledged to
clear thinking, greater loyalty, larger ser-
vice and better living.
Last week the entire nation joined
in the celebrating, of. National 4-H Club
Week. President Kennedy took time to
convey a special message to the 4-H’ers
and saw a ^delegation in his White House
office. Statesmen, business and civic lead-
ers, and parents participated in* local,
state and national events to mark the
week.
Freedom Bond Drive
United State Savings Bonds have two
purposes; one to provide financing for the
government, the other to help people save
money. The, first purpose bought the kond
program into being in the first place. But
as a practical matter, it is the later fun-
ction that sells the bonds. "
It becomes an extremely personal thing,
when the bond buyer realises he'is putting
a solid financiaT~'>foj<mdation under his
home1, his family and especially the pros-
pects of his children. That is what Savings
Bond buying does for millions. "
This leads into something currently im-
portant. For two months, next May and
June, the injpact of Savings Bond buying
will be__fglt' in the lives of most of our
peopIeTTriat will be the period of the
1962 Freedom Bond Drive. The 1962 goal
will be the sale of $4.75 billion in E and
H Savings Bonds.
There will be other objectives. One is
to have as many people as possible—actu-
ally every American, if that is possible—-
be Savings Bond buyers during the period.
Another is to increase the number of pay-
roll savers;,they nbw number over 8 mil-
lion. A third is to build up over-the-coun-
ter bond s§les in banks.
If past experience means anything, the
public will respond. There havfc, been no
exceptions to this record since the first
World War, when all the Liberty Loans
and the wind-up Victory Loan were over-
subscribed. In the present sequence, thgre
have been three periods, the - -Defense^
Bonds of pre-Wqrld War II, the WaF
Bonds during the war, and since then the
•Savings Bonds. All have accomplished the
basic purpose, "to give the government
working capital. But the greater profit has
been in the millions of people made con-
scious for thet first-time in their lives of
the road to personal solvency and security
to be found in-'systematic saving.

AUSTIN,' - State campaign
headquarters for candidates for
, Congrqssrpoln-a'-Large r e p o rt
that considerable confusioie^cx-
ists about this particular race
Many voters seem to think
that the various candidates for
Congressman-at-Large are run-
ning against present office hold-
ers. Namely the Congressmen
now representing the v a r i ous
Congressional districts in the
State. ■
They are not!
This is a statewide race
wherein Texas gets an extra
Congressman »— representing
all the people of Texas, not just
a district
This office is being created
because the population of Tex-
as has increased sufficient to
entitle it to an additional repre-
sentative in Washington.
The Texas Legislature has the
right to re-district the state t o
provide for an extra Congress-
man. But the Legislature has
not yet done so. Alternative
therefore is to create a state-
wide position.
Therefore, the following can-
didates are competing against
each other for this high post
and not against ‘'any present of-
fice holder:
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Judge Woodrow Wilson Bean of
• El Paso- Manley Head of Aus-
tin; Warren G. Moore of Tyler;
Joe R. Pool of Dallas; Charles
H. Stevenson Jr. of Corpus
Christi; Russell T. Van Keuren
of Houston; and Phil Willis of
Scurry
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY:
Desmond Barry of Houston;
Giles E. Miller of .Dallas; and
Joe B, Phillips of Lubbock.
a A Congressman-at Large race
is not without precedent in Te'x
as. The same thing; happened
in 1952. Martin Dies was elect-
ed and served from 1952 to 1958
THUNDER FROM THE TOP —
When .GDP's from all over the
state gathered in Austin for the
State Republican Executive
Committee meeting Monday,
democratic pressure to o Id
primaries in every precinct was
a topic of conversation. -a—
Jim Leonard, GOP executive
director, criticized the SDEC
for urging county clerks to re-
fuse to place Republican candi-
dates on the November ballot
unless the Republicans held a
primary in every precinct.
nard charged that it was t h e
same as "asking, them to break
the election laws.
He likened the. democratic
announcement to “t liun d e r
from the top,” and called t'e"
issqe a tempest in a teapot and
a compliment" to the growth of
his party in Texas.
TEXTBOOK CHOICES POST-
PONED - The State Board of'
Education voted to postpone the
decision of whether to reorder
high school solid geometry, eco-
nomics and shop texts, as weil
as one on driver education, un-
til the 'm'btter of revising these
courses'' is decided.
Several board members also
asked a committee to read the
'economics textbook, because
they objected to its content. Ob-
jectors all were attorneys.
” -• Penrose Metcalfe of San An-
gelo asked to hold up on the
drivers’ course text, because he
questions a recent decision to
change this class from eighth
to ninth grade.
He said some West Texas
superintendents want it kept in
the eighth grade, since most^of
their students drive by that
time, anyway. He will ask for
a vote at the April meeting, to
put the course back in the eigh-
th grade.
WATER WORK DIVIDED -
After 10 years, Vice Presidenl^-
Lyndon Johnson finally got art
answer as to who will do what
toward implementing the $4,-
000,000 plan to provide for Tex-
as water a-nd soil conservation,
flood control, navigation, water
supply and irrigation projects.
Federal (agencies now have
agreed that the Army Corps.of
Engineers and the U. S. Bureau-
of Reclamation ea-ch will take
about $1,000,000,000 worth of
dam and conveyance construe-^
tion; local and state agencies
Wnr*S%'sume $1,000,000,000 worth
of work; and the U S. Soil Con-
,w»$ervation Service will handle
$200,000,000 worth of small dam-
a-nd soil conservation work.
Balance of the project is nav-
igation, irrigation, recreation
and local flood protection.
Agreement still $eeds approv-
al at the Washington level, but
for the first time in its history,
Texas has a water pla-n and
water agencies and engineers
have come to an ’understanding
on/ Texas’ future water needs.

CLARK IN GOOD SPOT
DEAR EDITOR: ; •
Many thanks for sending me
your National Federation of In-
dependent Business Ballots dur-
ing the past year. They have'
been helpful to me.
One issue that stands o u t
above all others on the ballots
I received is the question of the
tax laws that effect independ -
ent businessmen like yourself'. I
have always felt that sensible
changes, ought to be made in
them. Your expressions are re-
assuring to me.
The recent honor that came
to our 9th District on my elec-
tion to the tax writing W a- y s
and Means Committee has plac-
ed me in a position to work
directly toward these changes
I want you to know that I shall
do my best.
Meanwhile, I hope you will
let me know of any particular
problem you may harve which I
could be of assistance.
With kindest regards.
Clark W. Thompson

COMMENTS FROM
CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
9th TEXAS DISTRICT
Dear Neighbors
Once again, the eyes of th e •
Nation turn toward a storm-bat-
tered seaeoast, This time on the
Atlantic from New Jersey to
North Carolina. Pictures of the
devastated communities
brought back vivid recollections
of hurricane Carla. The strick-
en people in this ar.ea' had an
additional hardship. It was cold
and down to freezing and btlpw
in some sections. The machin-
ery of rescue and rehabilitation .
moved smoofljly due, in part; to
the experience gamed in Texas
last September. This unfortun -
ate disaster on the East Coast
spotlights something. that we
have had in our minds for a
long time, namely: the necess-
ity for protecting every coastal
area against hurricane and
other “storm winds and tides.
The Interior Department has
announced the purchase of 9,-
907 acres in Chambers County
to be used as a Wildlife Rftfuge.
It ought-to be a very good place
for canvasBaek ducks, now
dwindling in number, and var-
ious'kinds, of geese This seems
to me like a good substitute for
some of the refuges which the
Department has propose^ in re-
cent yeaf$- They stepped i n •
with a claim for some refuge
land as a part of the Wallisville
Dam program. I refused to in-
clude such a thing in the Bill
which I introduced to coyer the
“program. They did the same
thing in regard to. the proposed
Columbus Bend Dam. Again, I
refused to include it in the Bill
which I introduced. It is one
thing to purchase coastal land
where the owners are willing to
sell. It is something else again,
when the government moves in
to an otherwise reasonable pro-
ject and wants to buy up valu-
able .farm land against the

cidents and diseases.
ughly believe in wildlife refug-
es. Being an- old? hunter, I have
watched the steadily declining
population of wil'd foul through
tire years. -We will have to' do
something about it or the time
may well come when there just
won’t be any hunting any more.
Still on the subject -of hunting?
I am getting a good many let-
ters about a move to prohibit
the shooting of doves. This, I
believe, -would be- a- great -mis-
take, and I seriously doubt if
such a thing will ever be ap-
proved by the Congress:
Sincerely yours,
