CHAPEL COMMUNITY
Quite a number attended church
services here Sunday even though the
weather was very disagreeable. Church
services will be held as usual Sunday.
The public is cordially invited to at-
tend all of our church services.
The big rain which fell here Mon-
day morning will delay threshing for
some time in this section, but it will
prove quite beneficial to corn and other
growing crops, which were suffering
because of lack of moisture.
Brit Poston of Lamesa came in
. last week for an extended visit with
homefolks.
Mrs. R. M. Lane returned home last
j^fek after an absence of several
gHtokteks visiting with her children at
^^Earious points in west Texas.
We regret to report that Mr. A. B.
Poston, who was injured in a recent
car wreck near Clifton, is not improv-
ing as well as it was hoped he would.
Dr. Goodall of Clifton was called to
his bedside Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. Claud Turner are the
proud parents of a little son whose
name is Bennie Boone. He was bom
the first of the month.
Mr. and Mts. Charley Townley and
family visited Mr. and Mrs. Spurgeon
Voiles near Kopperl, Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Otis Olson of Clifton
spent last week here the guest of Mr.
and Mrs. T. J. Sowell.
Quite a number of our people were
in Waco last week to visit with Floyd
Vickrey who is recovering at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Vickrey
rof that city.
Billie Jean Sowell spent last week
visiting her sister, Mrs. Cortez Brooks

week visiting relatives in Clifton.
Rev. W. J. Shelton of Bruceville
spent one day last week here visiting

Austin.—The people of Texas won
another notable victory over the spe-
cial interests and Gov. W. Lee O’Dan-
iel, when the House of Represenatives
rejected for the sixth time the lobby-
inspired sales tax constitutional
amendment last week-end. With ad-
journment set for Wednesday, June
21, the opinion of best informed ob-
servers here, as this column is writ-
ten over the week-end, .was that the
plan to freeze a $50,000,000 tax pro-
gram into the Constitution was finally
dead. Proponents, led by Ely Thorn-
ton of Galveston, gave notice they
would seek once more before adjourn-
ment to suspend the rules and recon-
sider House defeat of the constitution-
al sales tax plan, but in view of the
fact that proponents lost strength on
the latest attempt, most observers
here gave them only • an outside
chance. Preponderance among in-
formed opinion was the session would
end with no taxation legislation.
Worn by the long session, both
House and Senate set a precedent by
adjourning until Monday, after the
Thursday test vote in the House. This
automatically doomed all bills not al-
ready out of committees, and also
spelled death for many measures on
the calendars of both houses, as spe-
cial rules went into effect.

The Senate filibuster which has
blocked passage of the so-called “fair
trades act” sponsored by Senator
Franklin Spears, and financed by out-
of-state manufacturers and whole-
salers finally broke down, and the bill
sailed through the Senate to final
passage. The House quickly con-
curred in Senate amendments, and
sent it to Gov. O’Daniel, who is ex-
pected to ask Attorney General Ger-
ald Mann for an opinion before sign-
ing or vetoing it. O’Daniel pledged his
support to such a law during the cam-
paign, but later indicated, in a speech
at Houston that he didn’t favor it, so,
usual, observers were in a quan
dary as to what he might do with it.

The opinion of Attorney General
Gerald Mann on the road bond in-
debtedness bill, whch was in confer-
ence over the weekend, was a severe
setback to the group of county judges
who have been seeking to “divide up”
in cash the surplus in the present
bond retirement fund. Mann held the
present surplus in that fund, created
by allocation of one cent of the gas-
oline tax to retire bonds on highways
which have become part of the State
road system, is a trust fund, and can-
not be diverted to other uses by the
Legislature. In future, the surplus
can be used . to retire “dead horse”
county lateral road bonds, he held,
but the strong lobby which backed
the original county judges bill was
decidedly more interested in dividing
up the cash surplus now in the fund
than in getting something several
years in the future. Mann held the
money would have to be used in re-
imbursing the counties for the deficit
created on approved State highway
bonds in the years before the fund
was able to pay these charges in full,
before any of it could be diverted to
county lateral road bond purposes.
Final form of the bill, at this writ-
ing, was uncertain until adoption of
the conference report.

The action of the minority in the
House in blocking the constitutional
amendment for a sales tax has good
precedent in Texas legislative history.
On several occasions small groups
have resisted pressure for changes in
the Constitution, in the face of severe
criticism. Invariably, they have seen
their action vindicated and approved
by the people. The most recent exam-
ple was when a $200,000,000 State
bond issue for road building was pro-
posed during the Sterling administra-
tion. Less than 60 House members
blocked it. Today, Texas is virtually
without bonded debt (except for a
small balance on the bread bonds),
while neighboring States are burdened
with millions of dollars of outstand-
ing bonds, usually issued for high-
way purposes. And State highway
building in Texas has gone forward
satisfactorily, paying its way out of
current gasoline tax receipts, and fur-
nishing employment, to thousands dur-
ing the bitter depression years.
If Texas is going into the pension
business on the grand scale indicated
by passage of the liberalized pension
law, a sales tax may be necessary to
pay it. But it probably will be imposed
by statute, not by constitutional
amendment .

Put the milk pitcher back on the
table! It is now an authentic antique
and worthy of a place of honor; it is
the aristocrat of the table. Whether
placed there by style or taste decree,
it is mighty good nutritional advice.
Drinking milk with meals is good,
sound, nutritional practice.
Milk is a food and should be treat'
ed as one. Drink it slowly and enjoy
every mouthful. With the milk pitcher
on the table, easily reached by all, the
whole family can drink their fill.
Milk is as nearly perfect food as
there is. It is one of the best all-round
body builders. It is palatable, nutri-
tious and economical. In it comes the
essentials of nutrition in the most
readily available form. One quart of
milk furnishes more than half of the
nutritional needs of the day. It fur-
nishes about one-third of the protein
requirement, nearly all of the phos-
phorus and calcium, one-eighth of the
iron, adequate amounts of most of
the vitamins, and about one-fifth of the
entire energy requirement for the
day.
Milk supplements other foods. The
proteins of cereals are poor in growth
factors but supplemented with milk
they produce maximum results. A
bowl of cereal with fresh fruit, whole
milk and a little sugar constitutes a
“hurry-up” meal that is nutritious
and quite palatable. It is readily and
easily digested and will therefore not
“stick-to-the-ribs” very long. To stave
off hunger until the next meal, we
need some more fat such as a slice
or twro of bread and butter.
Milk has no affinities. It goes with
any food or any kind of a meal. We
often hear the remark that fish and
milk or ice cream must not be eaten
at the same meal. This is a fallacy.
Any of the natural foods may be used
together. It is the man-made mixtures
that offend.
Some of our most delicate fish dish-
es are made with milk. While there
are a few people wrho are allergic to
fish and have to avoid all of the sea
foods, the majority can safely eat
them. The question is not one of com-
binations, but of the condition of the
food. If the fish is not fresh, it will
cause sickness if eaten in any way.
An often heard excuse for not
drinking milk is that it is constipat-
ing. This is another fallacy. Milk in
itself is not constipating. It is read-
ily and easily digested and because
of this, leaves no residue. The balanced
diet furnishes bulk in the form of
fresh fruits, vegetables and cereals
for well-being. Milk is a vital part
of this balanced meal.
Not long ago a food quack went
around this part of the country preach-
ing that milk and citrus juices must
not be taken at the same meal because
the fruit juices curdled the milk. This
is. another ridiculous fallacy. The
curdling of milk in the stomach is the
first step in the digestion. Fruit juices
aid in the digestion by helping to form
a softer curd. The same reasoning ap-
plies to buttermilk.
Austin, Texas.—If you have not
been vaccinated against typhoid fever
within the last two to three years, go
to your family physician and have
him give you the three “shots” that
will protect you against that disease.
This advice comes from the Texas
State Health Department, and is ad-
dressed particularly to those persons
planning vacations away from home
or those who regularly go camping,
fishing or such trips.
Typhoid is contracted by way of the
mouth. Each case comes directly or
indirectly from some previous case.
You eat or drink the germs that cause
the disease—in food, water or milk
contaminated by the discharges from
persons who are ill with the disease
or who have had it at some time.
Modern medical and public health
practices have greatly reduced the oc-
currence of typhoid, but it is still a
menace to those unprotected against
the disease. Protection of public wat-
er supplies from pollution, pasteur-
ization of milk, inspection and super-
vision of food supplies, improvement
in houosehold sanitation and hygienic
habits, better sewage disposal and
careful investigation of typhoid out-
breaks to determine the source of the
disease are measures which have con-
tributed to the diminution of the inci-
dence of typhoid in Texas. But there
are still sources of infection to which
individuals are exposed, that cannot
be reached by public measures, and
for which vaccination affords addition-
al protection.
Persons who are apparently well,
but who have had the disease at some
time, may continue to dischai’ge the
typhoid germs. Such persons
known as “carriers” and if they are
not careful in their personal habits
they are liable to contaminate any
food they touch. Flies carry germs
from contaminated sources to food,
and are another source of typhoid in-
fection.
Health departments—state, city and
county—are waging constant
fare against typhoid all the year. Spe-
cial efforts are made during the vaca-
tion period through the sanitary
supervision of summer camps, parks,
and public eating places to reduce any
possible danger of vacation typhoid
from such sources. But vaccination
and sanitation are the only means to
personal safety against the disease.
So see your physician today for a va-
cation and summer unmarred by ty-
phoid.

JULIAN DAHL
Julian Dahl was born September 9,
1914, in Bosque County to Mr. and
Mrs. Ludvig Dahl. He was baptized in
infancy and in 1929 received into full
communicant membership through the
rite of confirmation at Trinity Luther-
an Church, Clifton.
Some three years ago he enlisted in
the U. S. Army and was, at the time
of his death, stationed at Fort McIn-
tosh, Laredo, Texas. Death came sud-
denly on Monday morning of June 5,
when he was struck by a hit-and-run
driver. His body was brought home to
Clifton for burial and funeral services
were held at Trinity Lutheran Church
on June 7th. Interment was in Trinity
Lutheran Cemetery. In the absence of
Rev. O. T. Boe, the pastor, the Rev.
W. J. Maakestad of Cranfills Gap of-
ficiated.
Besides his parents, the deceased
leaves to mourn his passing, one
brother, Einar Dahl, and two sisters:
Mrs. Bud Case and Mrs. Willie Olson,
all of Clifton.
We extend to these sorrowing rela-
tives our heartfelt sympathy in their
great sorrow.
“Watch ye therefore: for ye know
not when the master of the house
cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at
the’fcockcrowing, or in the morning:
lest coming suddenly he find you sleep-
ing. And what I say unto you I say
unto all, watch.”—Mark 13:35-37.
