Preston Smith's story is in the best Texas and Ameri-
can tradition-a farm boy who worked his own way to
an education and a place of honor in his business and
community life.
Born in the heart of Texas, at Georgetown, he moved
with his family to Dawson County in 1923 when he was
10 years old. He went to school at Sunset, Lamesa, and
Texas Tech. In his adopted home town of Lubbock, with
his wife Ima and their two children, he now carries out
,the full responsibilities of a typical Texas business and
civic leader.
A steward at St. John's Methodist Church-member
of the Salvation Army Board, the Kiwanis Club, the
Chamber of Commerce, the Texas Farm Bureau-these
are some of the activities close to the heart of Preston
Smith, citizen.
He did not stop there. In his daily pursuits Preston
Smith came to realize that business and government
are closely related in the American system-and that
without good government we cannot have a favorable
climate for good business. A man of direct action,
Preston Smith went into the business of government.
He served six years in the Texas House of Representa-
tives and six in the Senate.
Senator Smith has supported sound statewide legisla-
tion for better schools, roads, welfare and conservation.
He took the lead in establishing a permanent building
program for state colleges. He had the integrity to sup-
port necessary state spending and the courage to op-
pose extravagance and waste. In government, as in
business and at home, Preston Smith believes in meet-
ing our obligations and paying our bills.
Having proved himself as one of the best-rounded,
best-equipped, best-informed and most highly respected
Texans in both his private and public careers, Preston
Smith was a logical candidate to succeed Ben Ramsey
as Lieutenant Governor of Texas.Voters in 102 counties gave Preston the lead over
tour opponents in the First Democratic Primary. Now he
is in the runoff. He got there without the support of
any self-serving group or power bloc. His opponent has
the endorsement of labor leaders and other special
interests who want to dominate our state government.
Preston Smith asks only for the votes of individual
Texans who want a Lieutenant Governor without any
strings attached. He is depending on independent mind-
ed Texans everywhere to vote for him on June 2.

Therefore, I would first sug- ged 1(st l

barns and junk yards within the Circle I Meetcity limits. Some are right by
new buildings, which would
look a lot better if these barns
and junk yards were removed.
Also, I believe the places near
which there are pigs and cows
would look better, if these ani-
mals were not raised in the city
limits.
A few minor things which
might improve our city are hav-
ing the trash picked up more
often and keeping the rubbish
out of the street. The latter
might be a little hard to accom-
plish, but it seems to me that
people would want a clean, neat
community. A few people could
keep their yards neater and
cleaner. It would be nice if all

I think it would be wonderful
for the city to have some sort
of recreation for the young, and
old, alike. But, I am reluctant
to mention this because of what
many adults have said about the
youths' recreation.
I think many of the stores
could improve and be more mod-
ernized. A few of them have al-
ready taken this step in mak-
ing Bartlett a better place to
live in. And speaking of the
stores, many, many of them
should have more up to date
merchandise. It would improve
their business and at the same
time help the citizens of Bart-
lett. I also think we should en-
courage the people to trade
more at home.
Co-operation of the people
with the Chamber of Commerce
and city government for ob-
taining small industries would
help Bartlett very much.
I think a good school district
is very important. To obtain one
of the best school districts in
Central Texas, I think you

with Mrs. M. M. Leatherman,

Mrs. E. E. Cryer was the pro-

gram, "Giving Yourself." The
group sang, "A Charge to
Keep." Mrs. Tom Carr read
scripture from John and Mat-

logue was presented by Mes-
dames Cryer, Homer Pumphrey,
S. L. Roberts and Joe Bridges.
The leader gave the benediction,
after which each member placed
her signed pledge card at the
base of the worship setting
which was a cross entwined
with ivy and roses.
