HOW MUCH GOOD HAVE YOU DONE
IN THE YEAR DRAWING TO END?
The Christmas season is at hand and the
old year is drawing to a close. It is time
to take stock—not only of material things
—but of the things that are not measured
in dollars .and cents.
A newspaper from week to week records
the events of the community and county.
Every week the records show births, deaths
marriages, accidents and other happenings
of little and much interest.
How much have you meant to your com-
munity in 1955? If your passing were to
bo recorded in the weekly newspaper, do
you believe that you would be missed
because of your community service?
The days, weeks and months roll by into
the years. You may have good intentions to
do something for Panhandle and Carson
county. Yet, you may practice putting off
until tomorrow continuously until Gabriel
sounds his horn for you.
Carson county has so many enterprises
that need time and money. If people could
be persuaded to give their time, the in-
spiration in the work probably would make
the money part come easy for most ac-
tivities.
How difficult it is to obtain volunteer
leaders for Boy and Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts
and Brownies, school programs, church
activities and many other organizations.

giving your time in 1955 to the programs

moderate priced toy, topped off with some
candy and nuts. Christmas now seems to
hand feebly tapping at Paddy’s
window that he was found.
Alarmed and frightened, she ran
back to get help.
Returning with two men and
finding the door open, they found
Paddy, feverish and too weak to
move. In a house crammed with
odds and ends and much debris
he lay upon a cot by the window.
His feverish eyes stared wildly
and his mutterings were incoher-
ent, except for two words he
spoke clearly, “The Cross.”
They moved Paddy into a near-
by neighbors home and the women
folk made ready to tidy his house.
They found a battered old trunk
containing mementoe’s of Paddy’s
former Life. The papers, they
found shed light on his mysteri-
ous part. A marriage certificate,
a child's birth certificate and a
newspaper clipping telling of the
tragic death of both. Business pa-
pers and stocks testified to the
fact that Paddy had once been a
respectable and successful busi-
ness man.
They recalled his arrival in
town, six years ago. intoxicated
but with enough money to pur-
chase the home he lived in. It
explained why he’d been among
the protesters over the Cross so
near his home. With tragedy had
come rejection of life and his spir-
itual needs and he had sought
solace with drink.
As Paddy improved, a new per-
son emerged. Sober for the first
time in years, his education and
personableness appeared and peo-
ple realized for the first time what
a likable chap he was. All dared
to hope his rehabilitation would
hold when he got back to his own
home. His genuine expression of
gratitude made everyone feel well
repaid for their efforts on his be-
half. Even the barkeeper hope<f
he’d lost his best customer de-
spite the loss of revenue to him-
self.
The awaited day came and
Paddy appeared on his doorstep
unaware of his audience. Well
dressed, clean shaven and with
hat in hand, he paused for a mo-
ment looking up the street to-
ward the town, then without
hesitation and with brisk, pur-
poseful step he turned toward the

figure at the foot of the Cross. The
sunlight made a halo like pattern
silhouetting him against the blue
sky. Another lost soul found a
haven in the shadow of the Cross.

WILLIAMS WILL
HEAD AMERICAN
CHEMICAL BODY
AUSTIN—Dr. Roger J. Wil-
liams, world - famed biochemist
and University of Texas professor,
will be the 1957 American Chemi-
cal Society president, it was learn-
ed here today.
Dr. Williams, director of the
University’s Biochemical Institute,
discovered the growth-promoting
vitamin, pantothenic acid, and
pioneered in developing folic acid
as a weapon against nutritional
anemia. He was elected to the
Chemical Society fjost in a nation-
wide ballot of the organization’s
75,000 chemists and chemical en-
gineers. The society’s publication,
Chemical and Engineering News,
announced results of the balloting
in its current (December 12)
issue.
Dr. Williams is one of the na-
tion’s outstanding biochemists. He
was 1950 winner of the Society’s
Southwest Award, given annually
for exceptional achievement by a
chemist or chemical engineer in
this area. His search on the effects
of diet on alcoholism and mental
deficiency has gained him wide
scientific recognition and he has
also aroused interest with his
proposal for a new branch of
science to be termed “chemical
anthropology.”
The new field of learning is
based on the theory that, bio-
chemically speaking, there is no
such thing as “the average man.’
This view, first explained in Dr
Williams’ book entitled “The
Human Frontier,” has led him to
challenge many accepted estimates
of human beings and their needs
to attempjt to apply chemistry to
the improvement, or at least to
the better understanding^, of
society as a whole:
^Pantothenic acid, which Dr. Wil-
liams discovered, is a member of
the vitamin-B complex . and has
been found necessary for the
growth in chicks, rats and micro-
organisms. It helps to prevent der-
matitis in chicks and hemorrhages
of the adrenal glands in young
rats. A deficiency of pantothenic

The old joke about Dad “monop-
olizing” Junior’s-train is ceasing
to be a joke, according to some
toy producers, who contend that
this year there will be toys for
adults under some Christmas
trees.
Mr. Jay V. Zimmerman, presi-
dent of the largest hand puppet
makers in the world, recently told
toy buyers and salesmen that “toys
made specifically for adults to
play with will eventually exceed
the present popularity of children’s
toys.”
This may sound a- little unbe-
lievable and optimistic (for the
toy industry), but Mr. Zimmerman
says the theory is neither radical
or new. “For centuries,” he says,
“man has been playing with his
children’s toys under the guise it
was for Junior’s sake, but that’s a
lot of toy wash. They enjoy playing
with their kid’s toys, but they’re
too ashamed to admit it.”
Right or wrong, several major
toy companies are producing spe-
cific adult toys this year. We’ll
just have to wait and see how
many Dads receive some of them
as presents from Santa.
administration of sulfa drugs.
Dr. Williams is author of more
than 150 scientific articles and
has also written a number of
books, both technical and non-
technical. His “Biochemistry of
the B Vitamins,” is considered
the out-standing reference work
on B-vitamins and his “Introduc-
tion to Organic Chemistry” is one
of the all-time best sellers in its
field.
Dr. Williams was born in
Ootacumund, India, in 1893, the
son of missionary parents. He was
graduated from the University of
Redlands in .1914, and received
Master of Science and Doctor of
Philosophy degrees from the Uni-
versity of Chicago. He holds hon-
orary Doctor of Science degrees
from Redlands and Columbia.
After a year as a research
chemist with the Fleischmann
Company, Chicago, Dr. Williams
! became assistant professor of
' chemistry at the University of
Oregon in 1920. He was promoted
| to associate professor in 1921, and
J was a full professor there from
I 1929 to 1932. He served on the
j Oregon State College faculty be-
. fore joining the staff of the Uni-
i versity of Texas in 1939. Dr.
| Williams has been director of the
i Biochemical Institute since 1940
f and consulting biochemist at the
j M- D. Anderson Hospital, • Hous-
j ton, since 1942. He serves on the
Food and Nutrition Board and
the National Research Council
and was formerly with the United
States Public Health Service.
He has received the Mead John-
son Award of the American Insti-
tute of Nutrition and the Chandler
Medal of Columbia University,
which he shared in 1942 with
his brother, Dr. Robert R. Wil-
liams, assistant to the president
of- the Research Corporation, New
York.
A member of the American
Ch'emical Society since 1919, Dr.
Williams is also a member of the
National Academy of Sciences,
the American Society of Biological
Chemists, the Association for Can-
cer Research, the Society of Ex-
perimental Biology, the Biochemi-
cal Society of London, Phi Beta
Kappa and Sigma Xi. He is a
fellow of the American Associa-
tion for the Advancement of
Science.

been synthesized, occurs naturally
in liver, kidney, yeast, crude
molasses, milk, whole grain cerals

Another B vitamin, folic acid,
was first concentrated by Dr.
Williams and named by him. The
name comes from “folium,” the
Latin word for leaf. An abundance
of the vitamin is found in leaves
and animal tissues. Folic acid has
been used in the treatment of
