Echoes
By Casey
“A man of Intellect Ls lost
unless he unites to it energy of
character.”
— (Chamfort).
An encouraging note is sound-
ed by the Yearbook of Ameri-
can Churches, as it reports Chat in
1953 more Americans belonged to
churches—and contributed more to
them—than ever before. Moreover,
it is found that 59.5 of tire coun-
try’s population belonged io
churches and synagogues in 1953
as compared to 49 per cent in 1949
(and only 20 per cent in the mid-
dle of the, last century! i There’s a.
lot of encouragement iri this report.
For world peace...and for world
welfare, generally... it would be a
wonderful tiling^ if a gigantic re-
vival should sweep over a great
portion of tiie world. It is some-
thing to be devoutly hoped for.
isn’t U?
Other day we heard about the
drunken driver who “put the
quart before the hearse.’ ’
There's been a lot of conversa-
tion about the Governor's nice.
Sides have been taken by most folks,
no doubt. But the conversation part
is about to run out—since this is
Election Day. It's time for action.
Voted yet? There's time, you know,
as the polls are open until 7:00.
Don’t forget!
Keep an eye out for gyp-
aters—like shoplifters and hot-
check artists—for their favorite
season, autumn, will socn be al

AF Warns Of
Air Power Of
Russians
Washington — Tiie Air Force
warns that Russian air power is
growing.
The Ail- Force soys that Russian
production may force this nation to
make upward revision of its 137-
air wing goal.
The warning was delivered by
General Thomas White, vice chief
of stall' of tin- Air Force, in a
speech prepared for delivery before
the American Legion’s National
Security Commission.
• White says the leaders of the
Soviet have gone to work with
what he calls “a vengeance** on a-
botnbs ard the long range bombers
to deliver them.
The general says—hi his words—
“they need long range bombers for
only one reason—to by able to hit
the United States.’’
White says this nation still is
ahead of Russia in long-range of-
fensive air power but. that Russia
has been closing the gap.

Pesky Mosquitoes!
Convention of
Nudists Forced
To Don Attire
Vienna, Austria. A.ug. 28 (UP>.—
An invasion of mosquitoes has ac-
complished what Russian spying
tgctlcs failed to do—forced an in-
ternational convention of nudist*,
to put on clothes.
Delegates to the fourth Interna-
tional Nudist Congress rushed to
dress when their island hideaway
un the Danube River near Vienna
fell prey to millions of mosquitoes
during the first night.
Swatting and scratching, most of
the nudists—in clothes—flooded
into downtown Vienna seeking anti-
mosouito oil and ointments before
resuming their deliberations on the
so-called “bare essentials" of na-
tural living.
A few diehard delegates insisted
they were immune to mosquito
bites. But the scenery on the island
was definitely deteriorating for the
Russians.
There were more Russians in
trees than starlings in Mount Ver-
non, New York. Rooftop space with-
in watching distance of the Dan-
ube wus at a premium.
District Reports
Record in Sales
Dallas, Aug. 28 (UP).—The
monthly business review of the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank of Dallas has re-
ported department store sales in the
district during July reached a rec-
ord dollar volume.
The gain is six per cent above
that for July of last year. But cum-
ulative sales for ' the first seven
months in the five-state area of
Texas. Louisiana, New Mexico. Ar-
kansas and Oklahoma are down
four per cent.
High temperatures and lack of
moisture in August hove reduced
prospects for agricultural produc-
tion—although showers late in the
month brought some relief.
The report says district crude oil
production declined during August
tq the lowest daily average rate in
two years.
Construction awards in the dis-
trict in July were six per cent above
g year ago, with residential awards
up 40 per cent. The Junuary-to-
to-July figure is nine per cent over
a year ago.

Dies in Oklahoma
Oklahoma City, Aug. 28 <UP>.—
A business partner of Robert Green-
lease—father of the late Bobby
Greenlease—has died.
Robert Moore succumbed at Ok-
lahoma City from apparently self-
inflicted shotgun wpunds
Moore was vice president and
general manager of Greenlea.se-
Moore Inc., a nauto dealership com-
pany. He was found wounded with
a 12-gauge shotgun beside him in
Ills office Thursday afternoon.
Police say they are unable to find
a motive for the shooting.
Moore’s part in the Greenlease
tragedy was confined chiefly to his
early offer of assistance. He hur-
ried to Kansas City, as did another
partner. Robert Ledterman of Tul-
sa. But it was Ledterman who acted
as spokesman for the grief-stricken
millionaire Cadillac distributor.
Moore remained available to
Greenlease for any help he could
offer and was In and out of Kansas
City several times during the fam-
ily’s period of lmpeless waiting. Still
another partner, Norbert O'Neill of
Kansas City, joined Ledterman in
the heart-breaking Job of delivering
the record $600,000 ransom pay-
The Collins came to Ennis to live,
in December, 1949—ten years after
their marriage—so that Mr. Collins
might operate Uic lumber company.
Merchandising seemed to come
natpral to Mis. Collins,, too, and
she opened the Red Door Gift Shop
oil “tiie Avenue.” in which she has
been successful— und has had a
good time visiting witli titty local
people who have dropped in to shop
or chat.
Endowed with a good sense of
humor, she 1ms un enjoyable time
at whatever she's doing. Asked n-
•boilt a hobby, her eyes twinkled
atcl she said:
She’s good at needlework, and
knits and sews.

Mrs. Collins Ls a member of Tab-
ernatsig Baptise Church und Lake-
side Country Club.
She had been here only a few
months when her leadership ability
was discovered and site was prompt-
ly put to work on civic tasks, ajl of
which she handled well. She headed
the polio fund solicitation two years
was Mother's March on Polio chair-
man a year and worked in Red
Cross drive®, also
But one of her busiest experiences
was in Scouting. The same year—
she was Den Mother for a Cub
unit, and tepop leader for Brownies,
she had a son and two daughters
In these organizations.
“Thai she recalls, "was really a
busy year arouno the Collins
house!”
Ennis, Mrs. Collins believes, has
a vast potential for progress.
“1 know it's difficult and takes
a lot of time and money to line up
new payrolls." she says, “hut our
town is a perfect location for addit-
ional industries and will certainly
be a great day for progress and
prosperty if we can bring several
more in.”

Charles Huff disclosed tills morn-

A total of 290 absentee votes were

this number, 105 votes were rest
in Flunks with the others being re-
ceived at Mr. Huff’s office The 290
votes for tiie run-c/f ejection ls well

Inasmuch as results in the gub-

the stHte and district vole. Demo-
cratic runoff primary results will
not be bulletined at this office to-
night. However, the county voting
results will be published in the next

It has been a eostjy und a caus-
tic campaign between Governor Al-
lan Shivers and Ralph Yarborough.
Each candidate completed his cam-
paign last night In a vote-rich
county—Shivers hi Houston and
Yarborough . in pullas. Each--In a
statewide radio and television
broadcast—predicted victory in to-
day’s primary runoff
T'fhg challenger tokl voters, 'This
primary will be a landslide for Yar-
borough and an end to Shiverism.
The incumbent governor said:
when the votes are counted, the
results will show once and for all
that Texans will not desert a man
who will not desert Texas.
Both candidates took time to
thank those who helped them in
ti»e current campaign- but Yarbor-
ough injected the only last-minute
charge. He says he has been libeled
by a pahphlet concerning the re-
tail strike at Port Arthur. The 10-
mnntli work stoppage has been a
major Issue in the campaign's last
weeks.
Yarborough says: "We have evi-
dence that the Pori Arthur pamph-
let Ls full of fake photographs and
pledges and when this campaign Is
oyer, we will lay the whole sordid
mess before the grand Jury and
urge they Investigate this libel on
me -Yarborough and Port Arthur."
'live new charge apparently will
go un-nnswered. for no political
speeches have been scheduled for
today.
There Is one other contest on the
