BPfl Silsbee Slugs
By DAVID READ .
The editor spent a pleasant
hour Tuesday with our old
friend, Jerry Sadler, who was
here campaigning in his race
for Commissioner of the Gen-
eral Land Office. With him was
his charming wife, who was
having to hurry home to Nac-
ogdoches because the group of
Cub Scout's for which she is
den mother, was meeting that
night.
As we lunched together, Jer-
ry and this writer reminisced a
little about past* political ex.-
periences, and we both recalled
the times when we were young-
er and more anxious for battles
to fight. As a member of the
Railroad Commission many
years ago, Jerry became a con-
troversial figure in state poli-
tics. He resigned from the
Commission to join the army
during World War 11, entering
as a private and being dis
charged as a Colonel in 1946.
He has served two terms in the
Texas Legislature in recent
years where he was a leader.
Jerry was born in Kirbyville,
and spent his early life on
farm hear Hickory Grove. He
is a graduate of Stephen F.
Austin State College, and is a
practicing attorney now in his
home town.
Mr. Sadler is encouraged
about his chances in the race
for land commissioner, and na-

juled to- arrive here tomorrow.

The Bee was called on the
carpet this week by another old
friend because of an item of
news which referred to East
Texas Pulp and Paper Com-
pany of Silsbee. The note read:
“Dear Mr. Editor: You thought'
I was dead, didn't you! Well,
I’m not, and I'm still ‘rootin’’
that paper mill right back
where it belongs.’’ The note
was signed Fannie B. Johnson,
who still reads the-Bee even
though she is living in Buffalo,
Texas.
Well, Fannie, we won't argue
with you about the location of
the mill—maybe it is in Eva-
oale. But we still like to think
that Silsbee and Evadale are so
closely associated that they arc
almost the same—at least as
close as “kissin’ cousins." So if
we put the mill in Silsbee once
in a while, it's,just because we
love Evadale and want them to
feel that Silsbee is their home
town, too.*
