I want to take this opportunity
to ask you to re-elect me as your
County Tax Assessor-Col lector.
I am a native of Ellis County
where the Ralston family has al-
ways owned farmland in t h c
western section of the county. 1
formerly worked with the agri-
cultural office in Waxahachie
where I became acquainted with
almost everyone of the f i n c
farm families of Ellis County.
Several years ago l left the
agricultural office to become
Chief Deputy Tax Assessor-Col-
lector of Ellis County and after
serving my apprenticeship 1 was
honored with the election to this
office.
At all times 1 have endeavored
to serve everyone with courtesy
and efficiency in their county
tax matters. All of you know that
your Tax Collector’s office dur-
ing my administration has been
one of cheerful and helpful ser-
vice because all of my deputies
are efficient, capable and cour-
teous. The “bosas’lt always
been on the job too, foil'd have
worked long and hard in thfc tax
collector’s office and h^ve made
a recpfH or'^ihich 1 am proud.
Contrary to the opinion'o f
some people, f still maintain a
field man. However, his job is to
look for new values rather than
to obtain signatures on property
which is already on the tax roll.
The state pays,two cent per $100
valuation for assessing taxes re-
gardless of whether it is obtain-
ed in the office, by mail or in
the field.
I Earnestly ask your continued
support and friendship. If you
elect me your Tax Assessor-Col-
lector, I will continue to serve
you honestly, diligently and
courteously.
•>- Your vote for me on July 28
will be greatly appreciated.
W. C. “Bill” RALSTON.

Only 10bstacle
To Expressway
Now Remains
County authorities have ex-
pressed belief that there is only
one obstacle that might delay
the letting of a contract for the
first segment of the U. S. 77 ex-
pressway in August by the Texas
Highway Department.
The obstacle is the moving of
the Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company's cable, it was pointed
out. The company has not as yet
reached an agreement with Ellis
County over the moving of the
cable.
Texas Highway Department of-
ficials are greatly concerned
over the rate of speed being
shown in the moving of the ca-
ble.
Meanwhile the Magnolia Pipe
Line Company is completing the
lowering of its line on the Bill
Ganaway farm in a $21,000 proj-
ect. The company and the county
equally shared the cost.

Viruses Are Cited
As Causing Cancer
BERKELEY, Calif. iUP).—Dr.
Wendell. M. Stanley. Nobel Lau-
reate and director of the Univer-
sity of California’s virus labora-
tory. said flatly that “the time
has come when wc should as-
sume that viruses arc respon-
sible for most, if not all. kinds
of cancer.”
The viruses, lie said, include
cancer in man.
Stanley speaking recently at a
Detroit. Michigan meeting of the
Third National Cancer Confer-
ence, said experimental produc-
tion of cancer in animals came
as early as 1911. Since then
virus-caused tumors in animals
have been widely studied, and
suspicion has fallen on viruses
of some types of human cancer.
“The newer knowledge of
certain properties of viruses,"
he said, “warrant today a mark-
ed change in our thinking on the
problem of human cancer. Ac-
ceptance of the idea of a virus
causation of human cancer may
yield experimental results of the
greatest benefit to mankind.’’
The United States Golf Assoc-
iation has set up 31 qualifying
sections for the National Ama-
teur championships.
Land Grazed
Before June 22
OK For Soil Bank
Cropland which was grazed by
livestock earlier in the year may
now be included in the 1956
Acreage Reserve program of the
Soil Bank. S. A. Whitfill, Chajr-
man of the Ellis County Agri-
cultural Stabilization and Con-
servation Committee announced
today.
However, such land may not
be grazed from the period begin-
ning June 23 and running
through the rest of the year, he
added.
Whitfill explained that under
I an amendment to 1956-program
regulations, farmers may now
! designate for inclusion in the
l Acreage1 Reserve for any of the
basic commodities cropland
| which was grazed by livestock
between January 1 and June 22,
inclusive. '■
; As originally announced, the
i regulations provided that no
i cropland w'hieh was grazed at
any tin\e during 1956 or from
which, a crop was harvested dur-
ing the year could be included
in the Farm’s Acreage Reserve.
I fThe recent amendment does
| not change the provision that no
I crop can be harvested or hay
jcut at any time during the year
from land to be included in the
Acreage Reserve. :
Chairman Whitfill pointed out
that, while the grazing limitation
still applies to “reserved" acre-
age from June 23 to the end of
the year, the Soil Bank Act pro-
vides that grazing of Acreage
Reserve land may be authorized
under special circumstances.
Consent for such special grazing
privilege may be given by the
Secretary of Agriculture at any
time if the Governor of a State
certifies that there is need be-
cause of natural disaster.

Garrett, a pioneer Ellis Coun-
ty community of somewhere in
the neighbodhood of 200 people,
starts a new chapter as an in-
corporated town.
Residents of ttie peaceful
community, nestled on the rol-
ling prairie just north of Ennis
at the junction of Southern Pa-
cific’s Ennis-to-Denison and En-
nis-to-Fort Worth rail lines
came out 64 strong to vote in an
incorporation election Saturday.
Forty-four votes were cast in
favor of incorporating Garrett
while 29 ballots were marked
against incorporation.
The next step now, according
to Warwick Jenkins, Waxahachie
attorney whose services were en-
gaged to assist in the incorpora-
tion proceeding, is the election
of town officers.
The election will be called by
the county judge upon canvass
of the ballots indicating a vote
for incorporation. Ten days no-
tice of the election must be giv-
en. Jenkins said.
Officers to be elected are a
mayor, five aldermen, and one
marshal, he adds. State law pro-
vides for the aldertnanic form of
Garrett. Jenkins said.
Ho said it would then be left
up to the town officials to de-
cide whether other offices would
be elective or appointive.
The first action of the Gar-
rett council, after organization,
is expected to tie toward secur-
ing the installation of a water
system in the town.

touch with Mr. and Mrs. Morris

ter the case officially at the end

not the money. *

Court Upholds
FPC Control
Of Gas Rates
NEW ORLEANS, La. (UP). —
The United States Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals has upheld the
jurisdiction of the Federal Pow-
or Commission over natural gas
rates. One judge dissented in the
ruling.
Chief Circuit Court Judge
Wayne Borah and Judge Richard
T Rives rilled the court does not
have the fight to interfere with
the commission in its rate deci-
sions.
Some two years ago, several
major producers of natural gas
challenged the commission’s
regulatory order which contend-
ed that the Natural Gas Act ap-
plied to independent producers.
The FPC suspended scheduled
rate increases and ruled against
the firms when they applied for
permi.sison to carry out their
contracts. The court appeal fol-
lowed.
