laudatory concurrent resolu-
tion of the house and senate.
'The occasion was the selec-
tion of the band to accompany
Guv. -W. Lee O’Daniel and
Texas business men on a tout1
to the New York World Fair.
When the resolution reach-
'd! the senate, Sen. Weaver
. Moore of Houston was remind-
'ed that the governor had cam-
paigned with a Hillbilly Band.
•i|e suggested that the resolu-
tion be amended to include
that organization, too.
Sen. Rudolph Weinert of
Seguin, who gets more pleas-
ure from classical music than
jazz, suggested that the Hill-
billy Band be given one-way
tickets. He facetiously pro-
tested that Bradbury’s flowery
resolution neglected to use the
superlative in two of its many
references to the Cowboy
Band.

A confused argument about
optometrists, oculists, opti-
cians and optimists brought
the house' of representatives
almost to a standstill.

a bill to license and regulate
optometrists. Legislators were
cautious not to make the bill
too broad to too restricted.
The terms optometrist, oculist,
and optician were being han-
dled rather carelessly, how-
ever, until Rep. Paris Smith of
Bay City, a pharmacist, volun-
teered to define what each
word meant.
An “optometrist,” Smith
said, is a person who fits
glasses; an “oculist” is a li-
censed medical doctor who
can treat eyes for organic dis-
orders and also prescribe
glasses for faulty eyesight; the
“optician” is the man who
grinds the lenses and actually
manufactures the glasses.
“—And an optimist,” sug-
gested an interested legislator
is an aside, “is the guy who
buys his glasses from itinerant
vendors.”
Rep. C. L. Harris of Spur, a
sponsor of the bill, said one of
its chief purposes was to stop
itinerant "eye doctors” from
selling two-bit glasses for $25.

Occupants of the galleries
of the house and senate fre-
quently find themselves targets
of orating legislators.
When bills affecting state
departments are before either
house or senate, the head of
the department or some em-
ploye usually can be found in
the gallery, waiting to see
what happens.
A legsilator spots the de-
partment head or worker and
addresses him, frequently with
the suggestion that the legisla-
ture can get along without his
presence and that the state
would be better off were the
employe on his job.
Lobbyists have been picked
out of the gallery for similar
jibes. Occasionally the com-
ment gets too hot for the indi-
vidual and he leaves the gal-
j lery. If the legislator can force
such a retreat he belabors the
receding figure until his coat
tail has flickered through the
last doorway.
Sen. Allan Shivers of Port
Arthur “moved” in the senate
for a “recess until the depart-
ment of education employes
leave the gallery and go back
to work” while the school ap-
propriation was being discuss-
ed.
N.FA. BOYS SPONSOR
ACHIEVEMENT DAY
PROGRAM
The Timpson Colored High
School Chapter of the New
Farmers of America sponsor-
ed their first annual Achieve-
ment Day Program, Friday,
April 28, 1989. The purposes
of this program are: (1) To
create enthusiasm in the chap-
ter members for project acti-
vities. (2> To acquaint those
persons directly responsible
for the agricultural setup of
the sehooi, school patrons, and
the public at large with the
program and activities of tbe
department. <
Achievement Day has been
set aside as a day of inspira-
tion and encouragement that
comes from conscientious ef-
fort and consequent achieve-
ment.
The program began at 9
o’clock Friday morning with a
project tour of some of the
boys’ major projects. Prior to
the tour the following mem-
bers of the Timpson school
board visited the school, and
made a general inspection of
its program, activities and fa-
cilities for doing efficient
work: Mr. F. R. Bussey, vice-
president; Mr. Robin Hooper,
secretary, and Mr. H. B.
Swanzy. Favorable comment
was made on the activities ob-
served.
Also present for tbe tour
and program were S. E. Pal-
mer, area supervisor, and C.
L. Redus, negro county agent
of Shelby county.
Following are some of the
outstanding projects visited on
the tour': One registered Duroc
Jersey gilt, owned by Molvin
Moreland, age 3 months, 20
days, weight 128 pounds; gilt
projects owned by Johnnie
Greer and Russell Hooper,
age 3 months, 10 days, weight
90 and 37 pounds, respective-
ly; poultry projects owned by
Voyde Caraway and Buster
Rasberry; four corn and pota-
to projects of other members
were also visited.
The tour closed at 1 o’clock
and a short program was ren-
dered by the chapter during
the afternoon. Speakers dur-
ing the afternoon program
were S. E. Palmer, area su-
pervisor; C. L. Redus, county
agent, and W. P. Starks, prin-
cipal of Bobo school.
The sponsoring of the
Achievement Day program
marked the accomplishment
of the 12th goal out of the 15
set up by the chapter this year.
