the lack of cold weamer here
during this Winter, and a quick
look at the calendar will remind
you that there is probably more
to come. The two nights of
sub-freezing temperature this
week took its toll of water pipes
and automobile radiators, to say
nothing of the damage it did to
tender vegetation, such as flo-
wers and gardens.
Cold weather might be O. K
in the north, where it belongs,
but we are never quite pre-
pared for it here in Southeast
Texas. The first cool breezes ol
fall are usually welcome after
a hot July and August, but
along this time of year, those
July and August days have an
attraction that we couldn't see
at the time For one thing,
those wen' good days for boar-
ding our little cruiser down at
Port Bolivar and hanging a
hook over the side in the Gulf
of Mexico. Looking back now.
we can remember plenty of
days when we could have been
fishing, instead of doing What
we were doing.
And talking about our boat
(which we never miss aiv op-
portqnity to do) you should see
it now all decked odt in its new
coat of paint. "Radiant Coral"
the paint manufacturer calls it,
but everyone who sees it calls
it “Pink.” It should be easy for
the Coast Guard to, see, boun-
cing around on the blue water
of the Gulf, if the time ever
comes when they have to look
for us. And besides, it is the
favorite color of—guess who?
Naturally, our little grand-
daughter, Phyllis.
it has been too cold or wet for
most activities, we have been
doing a lot of thinking about
the far places we have always
meant to see. It has been al-
most five years since the editor
and the Queen of the Manse
have taken any considerable
kind of a trip, bu* come next
summer its going to be hard to
hold us back. We have our eyg
on the newest state—Alaaka—
and if the Alcan Highway looks
promising we may try to run
up that way. Not, of'tfturse,
while there is snow and Ice all
around, but when the summer
flowers of that area are full of
life and color.

Newly seated Tax Assessor
Willie Bean asked the commis-
sioners for a total of nine depu-
ties in his office, two more
than previously, but was turned
down by commissioners.
Mr. Bean also asked for an
across the board pay raise for
deputies in his office, ranging
from $25 to $50 monthly but
this too was denied by the
court which told Mr. Bean that
salaries would be taken up at
the first regular meeting of the
court on Jan. 12.
Mr. Bean’s request for pjjy
hikes in his office struck fire
with commissioners. Commis-
sioner Tom Burch of Sour Lake
demanded, “Willie/ where are
we going to get the money for
these pay raises?”
“Well, this is skilled work
vou are asking these people to
do. They are entitled to proper •
pay for it," Mr. Bean countered.
"Well, 1 want to make my

Mr. Burch declared. "I'm tired
