, Tv. Live Issues Arc
Discussed By Students
Last week two current issues
of interest were exposed by Uni-
versity of Texas students to the
light of open discussion. The
first is the question of whether
Texas veterans are in favor of a
state bonus. The second is the
extent to which Communism is
accepted among University stu-
dents.
During the regular session of
the 50th Legislature there was
a proposal by Representative
Roger Q. Evans, who is also state
commander of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, that Texas voters
be given an opportunity to vote
on the bonus question. His pro-
posal died in committee.
Since nine other states have
already passed a state bonus, and
the proposal is under discussion
in several other states, the ques-
tion is bound to attract more or
less attention in Texas.
Students Don’t Think
Bonus is “Un-Texan”
Some weeks ago Gov. Jester,
hearing that several University
veteran students had expressed
themselves against a bonus, prais-
ed them for their stand and said
he thoi|ght it would be “un-Tex-
an” for veterans to ask for a
bonus.
Last week there was a poll of
student opinion on the bonus
question. The poll was taken
scientifically by the veteran? af-
fairs committee of the Student
Assembly, and supervised by Dr.
John Stockton, professor of sta-
tistics.
The poll revealed that 83 per
cent of ,the veterans enrolled in
the University declared them-
selves in favor of a bonus. The
poll also found that 90 per cent
of all students in the University
do not think acceptance of a state
bonus would be “un-Texan.'
Asked for a comment on the
student poll, Gov. Jester replied:
“No comment—except that Itn
surprised.”
There Are 20 Communists
Enrolled In University
On the question of how many
students of the University are
Communists, the answer was sup-
plied by Wendell Addington, a
veteran student from Lubbock.
He revealed that he is the secre-
tary of a group of 40 Communist
party members in Austin, and
that about 20 of them are Uni-
versity students. The revelation
was made in a signed article
published in “The Texas Ranger,”
a student magazine. Total Com-
munist party membership in Tex-
as, according to Addington is 500.
Managing Editor Ben Jeffery
of “The Texas Ranger”, who says
he is a liberal Democrat, answer-
ed Addington’s reasons fqr being
a Communist as follows:
“I am not a Communist because
the Communists aims, which hap-
pen to coincide with mine, can
be achieved—without the danger
of totaliarian control—under a
liberal democracy,” Jeffery said.
J. O. McKenzie, president of
the First National Bank of Com-
merce, was elected chairman of
the newly organized Sulphur Val-
ley Scout District at a meeting
held in Cooper Monday night at
Hotel Cooper. Quentin Miller
was selected as vice-chairman.
Mack Love, area field director of
Paris, directed the organized pro-
cedure and outlined the advan-
tages of a district scouting organ-
ization.
* .he newly org^t.'-d scouting
district is designed to promote
more scouting and a greater
relationship between neighboring
scouting units, Love pointed out
to the group. Scouting requires
the interest of business and pro-
fessional organizations. The pri-
mary purpose and aim of this
district committee is to encourage
civic groups and churches to
sponsor local Boy Scout units.
The committee members at the
meeting voted to call the district
organization the Sulphur Valley
Scout District as the area it cov-
ers is bounded on all sides by
the Sulphur Rivers. They des
cided to hold monthly meetings
on the fourth Monday of each
month to alternate meeting places
between Cooper and Commerce.
The committee also voted to in-
vite representatives from Pecan
Gap. Ben Franklin, Enloe, Lake
Creek, East Delta, West Delta,
Fiarlie, Yowell and Ladonia to
meet monthly with the group.
The next meeting will be held
at the Green Room of the City
Cafe in Commerce on March 22.
Harry Bartley and Bryan
Sparks were appointed to con-
tact business men in Cooper to
work with scouts interested in
merit badge advancement.
Commerce men attending the
meeting included T. A. Smith,
secretary of the Commerce Cham-
ber of Commerce, J O. McKen-
zie, L. I. Smith, R. D. Rawls, Jake
Fuller, L. G. Dickson and Tom
Steeley.
Cooper representatives on the
committee included Goebel Tem-
pleton, Quentin Miller, Elmer
Hickman, Harry Bartley, Bryan
Sparks, W. H. Crunk, C. D. Rey-
nolds, and Leonard Mansen.

Youth Arrested Here
Sunday Night For
Window Peeping
A 17-year-old youth was fined
$20 and costs in the Justice Court
Monday for disturbance after he I
was caught looking into a resi-
dence window Sunday night. The
State statutes do not provide a
more serious penalty for this of-
fense.
Having been bothered by win-
dow-peepers for over a month,
the occupants of the residence
were waiting for the culprit, hav-
ing laid a trap for him. As the
youth was peering into the win-
dow, he was discovered and told
that he was covered with a gun.
Disregarding the warning, he fled,
but the owner of the house fired
two shots into the air and the
fleeing youth fell to the ground.
Brought back to the house, he
we* held until the sheriff arrived
and put him under arrest. The
youth was released Monday fol-
lowing payment of the fine.

State Politics Frozen-
Just Like The Weather
There was a little flurry of an-
nouncements by aspirants for
state office right after Jan. 1, but
the freezing weather of the past
few weeks seems to have con-
gealed the political pudding in
Texas.
If the primary were to be held
today, former Gov. Coke Steven-
son would receive almost enough
votes to assure his nomination to
the U. S. Senate, according to a
straw vote taken by the Texas
Poll. Next in popularity would
be Senator W. Lee O’Daniel, with
Congressman Lyndon Johnson in
third place. Of course, neither
of the last two named have offi-
cially entered the race, and the
above result is, therefore, not
conclusive. George E. B. Peddy
who has announced as a candi-
date received only one per cent
of the straw votes.

Mrs. A. Stewart died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. J. R.
Allison, 7519 Kay wood Drive,
Dallas, Jan. 31. She would have
been 78 years old next May. She
was a former resident of Delta
County and had many friends
here.
She was laid to rest by the side
of her husband who passed away
many years ago.
Surviving children are Mrs. E.
L. Birmingham, Lake Creek; Mrs.
J. R. Allison, O. L. Birmingham
and Ardice Stewart, all of Dallas.
The children express their grat-
itude to all who ministered in
any way to her needs during her
illness and for flowers and other
expressions of love at her funeral.
“Call To Arms”
Issued By Texas
Highway Patrol
A call to arms was issued today
by W. J. Elliott, Chief of the Tex-
as Highway Patrol.
The arms referred to are the
kind you stick through car win-
dows to signal your intentions to
other drivers.
“Hand signals are a means of
self-preservation when you are
driving an automobile, as well
as a courtesy to the other fellow,”
Chief Elliott said.
He emphasized hand signals as
one of the important laws de-
signed to make motoring safer,
and appealed for better volun-
tary observance of the regulation
in cooperation with a nationwide
“Learn and Obey Traffic Laws”
program during February.
Captain George Busby of the
Dallas District offered these hand
signalling tips:
1 .VunL onnn fin tn
1. vj l VC otgiiau' cuwuo**
advance to allow the other driv-
er to adjust himself—at least 100
feet.
2. Hand signals do not justify
you in making an unexpected or
illegal maneuver. For example,
to make a left turn, be in the
left lane before you reach the
corner.
3. Get both hands back on the
wheel before starting to turn.
4. Hand signals are not uni-
form throughout the country. A
safe rule is to be prepared for
anything when another driver
holds out his hand._
CALLED MEETING
There will be a called meeting
Commenting on the electric
power supply in this area, John
W. Carpenter, president of Texas
Power & Light Company, said
this week that the rapid develop-
ment which has taken place in
Texas during the past few years
has come at a time when the
electric power companies have
been unable to add generating
facilities needed to enable them
to maintain their usual reserve
of power.
Mr. Carpenter pointed out that
Texas Power & Light Company,
like all other power companies
was working under the handicap
of unavoidable shortages in gen-
erating facilities which are the
result of conditions existing dur-
ing the war.
’All the big turbo-generators
manufactured during the war
were needed for battleships, air-
craft carriers, cruisers and for
shipment to war-torn Europe,” he
said. “Such generators could not
be purchased during the war
years by power companies to care
for their year-by-year increases
in load. Only a few manufactur-
ers make these big turbo-genera-
tors and, following the war, they
found themselves swamped with
orders for generating equipment
badly needed by power companies
throughout the nation.
“Among those orders is a turbo-
generator of 84,000 horsepower
capacity for Texas Power & Light
Company, accepted more than a
year ago, but which cannot be
delivered before late 1949. * It
takes a long time to build these
massive generators, even during
ordinary times, and these are not
ordinary times.”
In the meantime, he continued,
Texas Power & Light Company
has ordered four additional units
of smaller si*e, sizes that can be
delivered more quickly—8,000
horsepower to be placed in serv-
ice this year and 16,000 next year.
These, plus the big 84,000-horse-
power unit, make a total of 108,-
000 horsepower of new generat-
ing capacity to supplement the
company’s present 294,000 horse-
power of electric power resources.
Meanwhile, as we push our
present generating facilities to
the limit, the demand for electric
power increases daily,” he de-
clared. “There may be periods
between now and completion of
these installations on which we
are now engaged when the de-
mand for electricity will ap-
proach or even temporarily ex-
ceed our capacity. In such an
event, we would ask the coopera-
tion and indulgence of electric
power users until the emergency
was past.”
In preparation for this and for
future increases in generating
capacity, Texas Power & Light
Company has been busy con-
structing additional transmission,
distribution and rural lines, build-
ing new substations while en
larging others, Mr. Carpenter
pointed out. Approximately 230
miles of 132,000-volt transmission
lines were completed during the
past year, adding strength and
stability tr> the eompanv’s entire
transmission system.
“The Texas Power & Light
Company’s official family will be
on the anxious seat until all the
equipment ordered is in place
and producing power,” Mr. Car-
penter said. “Then there will
again be not only plenty of pow-
er for current needs, but also an
abundance of reserve capacity for
tuture growth and development."
Funeral services for Andrew
Young, 87,' were held Sunday at
2:30 p.m. at the Delta Funeral
Home, conducted by Bro. Joel
Furgerson, of the First Baptist
Church in Cooper. Burial was
made in Oaklawn Cemetery by
Delta Funeral Home.
Mr. Young, who was a bachelor,
died at the home of a nephew,
H. S. Young, of Fate, Tex., last
Saturday at t) a.m.
The deceased was an uncle of
Will Young of Enloe and other
survivors include a sister, Mrs.
Faye King, Dallas, and a number
of nephews and nieces.
Pecan Gap C of C
Entertains With
Social Meeting Feb. 17
The Pecan Gap Chamber of
Commerce entertained their mem-
bers and families and special
guests Tuesday night, Feb. 17,
with a social meeting at the Pe-
can Gap High School.
County Judge Bill Parker of
Hunt County was the principal
speaker of the evening and was
introduced by County Attorney
W. H. Crunk of Cooper. Edgar
Hutchinson, County Attorney of
Hunt County, was also introduc-
ed. President John Porter pre-
sided as master of ceremonies.
Between 400 and 500 were pres-
ent for the social and some 300
dozen hot tamales were consum-
ed by those present.
Farmers who are interested in
providing improved facilities for
their farms and are unable to ar-
range for funds elsewhere may
take advantage of the types of
assastance available through Wa-
ter Facilities loans of the Farm-
ers Home Administration, Coun-
ty Supervisor Carter D. McKin-
zie has informed the Cooper Re-
view.
These loans, Mr. McKinzie
pointed out.^may be used to con-
struct, repair, reinstate or en-
large farmstead facilities and al-
so include such items as reser-
voirs, dams, ponds, wells, cisterns,
pipelines for distribution to points
where needed, storage tanks,
stock water tanks and spring de-
velopment. The Water Facilities
program is a rather broad one
and under the provisions of Pub-
lic Law 399, not only provides
Federal funds for loans, but tech-
nical assistance to individuals,
such as planning of the facility
to be installed, and advice and
guidance about planning and
carrying out farm and home op-
erations relating to the facility.
Somebody has coined a phrase,
“Running water is the first re-
quirement of successful farming."
said Mr. McKinzie. He might
have added that a better water-
supply spells the difference be-
tween success and failure on
many a farm. A survey of farms
equipped with adequate water re-
veals increased livestock and food
production on the farm. Farm-
ers are learning the rope and
bucket or hand pump are inade-
quate to serve their needs.
Farmers who desire information
on an improved water system
such as may be provided through
the Farmers Home Administra-
tion Water Facilities program
may consult with County Super-
visor McKinzie at his office in
the basement of the courthouse
in Cooper.

Fire Department
Answers First Call
In 52 Days Saturday
After an inactive period of 52
days since December 24, the
Cooper Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment finally was called out Sat
urday afternoon about 2 o’clock
to extinguish a car that had
caught fire in the Antoine Motor
Company. The fire was soon ex-
tinguished and little damage was
done.
However, three more alarms
were answered this week.
Fire damage at the home of
Bob Choate Sunday about 2 p.m.
is estimated at approximately
$2,000 on the house and furnish-
ings, the loss being partially cov-
ered by insurance. Water dam-
age also resulted to furnishings
owned by Mrs. Bowman who lives
in the house. The fire started in
the kitchen of the house, part of
the George Jones estate. The
Choate family had left the house
about an hour before the blaze
was discovered.
Slight damage to the roof of
a Negro tenant house, owned by
Judge Newman Phillips, was
caused by fire about 7 p.m. The
house was owned by Judge Phil-
lips and covered by insurance.
A grass fire at the residence of

unlucky day for the family of

TO THE CITIZENS OF THE
SIXTY-SECOND JUDICIAL
DISTRICT:
In asking your support as a
candidate for Judge of the Sixty-
Second Judicial District, compos-
ed of Lamar, Delta, Hunt and
Franklin Counties, I come to you
as a young man seeking promo-
tion. You will naturally want to
know something of the back-
ground and qualifications con-
cerning those seeking your sup-
port for high office, and I am
glad to take this opportunity to
present my qualifications to you
and to assure you that it will
be my sincere effort to meet each
one of you between now and
election day.
I was born and reared on a
farm in Red River County, Texas,
and graduated from Clarksville
High School in 1933, graduated
from Paris Junior College in 1935,
and worked my way through the
University of Texas, graduating
with a law degree in 1941. Dur-
ing this time, from 1939 to 1941,
it was my privilege to serve you
as a member of the Forty-Sixth
Legislature as Representative
from Red River County. Shortly
after graduating from law school,
I entered the United States Army
as a Private and while in service,
married Ruth Moore of Falls
County, who was then teaching
school in Clarksville, Texas.
Since my return to civilian life,
it has been my desire to do my
part toward making my com-
munity, state, and nation a better
place is which to live. I have
served as Post Commander of the
Paris American Legion, as Presi-
dent of the Paris Junior College
Ex-Student’s Association, and as
County Chairman of the Tuber-
culosis Christmas Seal Campaign.
I have served my church as Sup-
erintendent of the Adult Depart-
ment, and am a member of the
Lions Club, and of the Jaycees,
and at present am Vice-President
of the Junior Bar Association of
Texas and on the State Commit-
tee for the American Legion Jun-
ior Baseball program.
I have engaged actively in the
private practice of law in Paris
and it has been my privilege to
participate in the trial of law-
suits in all courts, and in par-
ticular in the District Court,
where the much needed experi-
ence in the problems confronting
both Judge and Lawyer in the
trial of a lawsuit has been gained.
My practice has permitted me to
represent both plaintiffs and de-
fendants and to be associated with
and to oppose fine lawyers in
actual trial of cases.
I sincerely believe that my ex-
perience, my farm background,
my legal training and experience
my Army, Legislative, civic and
religious services qualify me for
promotion to the high office of
District Judge, and I will be
grateful for your active support.
When elected, I pledge you

The annual Red Cross drive in
Delta County will begin March
4 and end March 31, according to
an announcement made this week
by W. H. Crunk, county chairman.
The annual drive over the nation
will open March 1 and continue
throughout the month.
As Delta County has exceeded
its quota for the past several
years in this annual drive, local
Red Cross officials feel that they
will not experience any trouble
in reaching the quota of $1,474.09
set for this year. Of this amount,
$220.00 will remain in the county
for local requirements. Delta
County also enjoys the distinc-
tion of being among the first
counties in Texas to reach their
quota each year.
Special committees of the Red
Cross for the drive are headed
by Opal Preas, rural chairman
for the county; Mrs. L. F. Hooten,
Sr., publicity .chairman; Kermit
Carrington, chairman, special
gifts and industries; Richard Poe,
display chairman; Mrs. Etha
Ricks, chairman, West School,
Cooper; Mrs. Clarence Whitlock,
chairman. East Ward School,
Cooper; and Mrs. Ed L. Adair,
chairman, churches and clubs,
