sent at an early date some salient
thoughts brought out in a report
and analysis of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce concerning
the recent Community Clinic here
In Ennis You know we've always
thought it ci fine thing for folks to
express themselves about their
Ideas on community improvement
and advancement, and thus affair
was right in line with that sort of
thing A number of the project*
proposed will be undertaken; in
fact, most of them are already in
the mill. Now, naturally, it's a
long time between Community
Clinics—*o if you hatch out some
Ideas for the good of your town,
don't hesitate to pass them on to
the C of C. The more people pul-
ling for a community, the better
the community!
A man fond of practical
jokes, late one night sent his
friend a telegram out of a clear
sky. collect, which read: "I am
perfectly well.”
A week later the Joker receiv-
ed a heavy parcel—collect—on
which he had to pay consider
aide charges. On opening It
he found a Mg Mock of concrete
or which was pasted this mes-
sage :
“This is the weight your tele-
gram lifted from my mind."—

Tuesday’s Election Day. Funny
Dung about folks and elections. An
nll-too-small number turn out and
vote, Others Just don’t give It a
thought. At;d still others have !t
in the back of their minds but
shirk it as a bother. Lethargy
about voting Is a blot against good
citizenship. It can’t be figured any
other way. Like It or not, those
who sidestep the franchise might
just as well “put it in their pipe
and smoke it,"

action and of participating in the
model governments which the stu-

tending Girls State or Boys State.

Urge Passage of
Amendment No. 4
"Something for nothing" isn’t al-
together a thing of the |*»«t
That is the belief of members or
the State Court* Housing Commit-
tee of the State Mar of Texas who
are urging passage of Amendment
Number Foui at the November 2
g« Moral election.
The Amendment which would
provide for the oonst,ruction of two
state office building*, without ad-
ditional taxes, and at a saving of
$250,000 pei year now being paid
in rent by state agencies housed
outside the Capitol. That Is about
as close as you mil get to "some-
thing for nothing," they believe
The Committee, headed by F.d
Gossett of Dallas, is one of many
groups throughout the 'state who
have given th*;ir endorsement to this
Amendment, It provides for the
transfer of surplus money In the

building to house the Supreme
Court, Court of Crlmnal Appeals,
Court of civil Appeals, State Lib-
rary, and Attorney General's office
and for a State Office building to
(rouse state agencies now paying
tint for office space outside the
Capitol.
Endorsement of the amendment
has been given by Governor Allan
Shiver*, the state Legislature, four
dormer governors and seven for-
mei attorneys general, the State
Bar of Texas, the Stale Employees
Association and many other groups
Chief Justice j. E. Hickman and
