PUBLIC SCHOOL WEEK
March 5—9 has been proclaimed in Texas as
Public School Week.
This is a special time set aside to encourage par-
ents and interested persons to visit their local public
schools and get better acquainted with what is tak-
ng place in the public schools.
The need for the public school never changes,
but as times and conditions change, there is a need
for change in methods and practices in public edu-
cation. This is inherent with anything that grows,
for growth is the result of change. It behooves each
person to take this opportunity to visit the public
school in his town or area, and learn what changes
are being made. ; '
In connection with the Public School Week acti-
vities locally, the Parent Teachers Association is
sponsoring a Teacher Appreciation Week' and are
inviting parents to visit their youngster’s teachers
and show their appreciation.
Open house is being planned for the local schools
and residents of the Panhandle Independent School
District are urged to make it a point to visit the local
public schools for at least a few minutes.

A Relief Problem Is Being Solved
In many communities around the country the
question of whether an able bodied man should work
for his keep or not is being asked by working, tax
paying citizens.
This came about by the huge number of unem-
ployeed men who were drawing money through un-
employment insurance and not having to do any-
thing more than going down to the unemployment
insurance office and filling out some papers.
For more than a year, reports and stories have
been appearing in newspapers and national news
magazines of communities and counties requiring
that these able bodied men do work for the county
or state to earn that part of the money to be given
them by the county or state.
In the Oregon Voter, Ralph T. Moore writes,
“The practice of organizing usenil work programs to
employ applicants for relief under our national wel-
fare system seems to be spreading. It is also beginn-
ing to pay dividends in an unexpected way. It is
teaching many men how to use ordinary tools pro-
perly and so contributes to their ability to compete
for employment, a most constructive circumstance
md one not contemplated under the relief program.
first there was wide-spread resentment over mak-
ing these applicants work for their pay. But tax-
payers pressure, plus the fact that the applicants
Are actually happier when doing something useful,
forced the issue.”
Many states permit these men to be required to
work for the state’s part of the unemployment in-
surance or relief money. The federal money is given
to these men without work.
It is time that the congress of the United States
sees fit to inact legislation that will permit local
communities to have the decision to make these men
work for their pay or not.
Fortunately, Carson County is not one in which
>ere is a problem with unemployed persons draw-
±Ag relief checks for long periods of time. It does,
however, affect each Carson Countian when other
counties have this problem. It is a part of the tax
money paid the state and federal government which
is used for this purpose,
If you do not understand the government’s hand-
outs to the unsmployeed your senator or congress-
man will inform you and can give you answers re-
garding any proposed legislation on requiring able
bodied men to work for their federal relief pay.
A note to your representative in Washington, D.
C., will let them know how you feel about a man
getting money without working to earn it.

JOHN GLENN’S TOUR
It has been rumored in Washington that Ameri-
ca s Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., may be sent on a
good will tour of both this country and abroad.
This is good.
February 22, after several postponements, sent
,John Glenm Jr., into space as the first American to
make an oifrital flight around the earth. The lead-
ers .of this country chose to do it publicly with un-
limited and unreifcricted coverage by both the news
media of this country hnd other countries of the
world.
Via the television media, millions of Americans
were able to witness the entire proceedings with no
government censors deleting portions which may not
be' favorable.
Tlus has made many persons more seriously ques-
tion the two Russian astronaut’s global space trips.
However, similiar sights were described by the Rus-
sians and Astronaut Glenn.
W:fh the great prestige which the open presen-
tation of Glenn’s flight gave to this country, it would
be foolish not to “put him bn display in this country
nd abroad.”- Let the curious ask questions and meet
he man from this country who went into outer space
nd "^turned.
Rr ’-ia sent their astronauts on tours.
Jovn Glenn is humble man and has repeatedly
safid the historic flight wh'ch he made should
be told for its value to science and how it has helped
mankind not that it was a feat which he performed.
How wonderful it would be if this humble man
who made news throughout th 1 world could come
bMVo the people of the world >• person and tell per-
sonally about the flight and of :ts scientific value.

AUSTIN —After the labor
unions gave Houstonian Don
Yarborough their coveted CO-
jPE “commendation,” some sec-
tions of the Political Association
of Spanish-Speaking Organiza-
tions started worrying about
joining the state body in a PA
SSO pronouncement for Gov.
Price Daniel.
First splinter off the block
was Hidalgo County chapter -
third largest PASSO unit—
which voted 44-16 to make no
endorsement in the governor’s
race.
Yarborough made no com-
ment as he rounded the Gulf
Coast area to line up more sup-
port.
He’s been conspicuously ab-
sent from his Austin headquar-
ters, while all other statewide
candidates touch base here fre-
quently to counteract the al-
most constant presence of gu-
bernatorial candidate Will Wil-
son and the incumbent who
dwells in the mansion.
Daniel almost had trouble
getting his campaign off the
ground when a Department
of Public Safety plane nipped
its wing lifting the governor
off Austin ground for a Hous-
ton appearance. The party
changed to a private plane, and
proceeded to inspect the Carla-
damaged San Jacinto Monu-
ment with representatives from
the State Board of Control,
Building Commission and State
Archives.
Former Secretary of the
Navy John Connally also suf-
fered aerial setbacks in hia
search for support. Bad wea-
ther prevented him from land-
ing for San Marcos and San
Antonio speaking engagements.
When the clouds cleared he
carried his campaign to La-
redo.
Sen. Jarrard Secrest, demo-
cratic candidate for lieutenant
governor, followed Connally in-
to Laredo to speak to PASSO
supporters where champio tra-
veler Tom Reacley joined him
to get help for his attorney
general’s race.
Secrest announced the open-
ing of hi^ Austin ’office this week
with a blaring banner on the
evenue leading 'to the Capitol.
Will Wilson started crowding
Daniel’s position as patron of
Texas teachers. Wilson stated
that Texans need to take a
“long, hard look at the curri-
cula of our schools— and then
pay a little more attention to
the advice of professional edu-
cators instead of well-meaning
/but ill-informed amateurs.”
He also suggested higher pay.
Another lieutenant governor
contender, Sen. Crawford C.
Martin, also started keeping
shop in the capital city.
A Friday coffee party served
as “house” warming for Wag-
goner Carr, former Speaker of
an attorney
a block
Capitol
another
the House, who’s
general hopeful.
Carr’s office is just
and a half from the
grounds. Les Procter,
attorney general candidate, has
his headquarters in a long sil-
ver trailer, across the street
from the Capitol.
GOP HOPES TO BLANKET
•STATE—After State Democratic
Executive Committee officials
slung verbal arrows at the Re-
publicans for not holding pri-
mary elections in every county
and precinct, the GOP’s' em-
barked on a campaign to fi-
nance a primary in every coun-
ty.
Paul Desorchers at Republi-
can State Headquarters said,
“We’re working like mad to get
a primary in every county.”
Two obstacles stand in the way:
Getting funds in about ,, 235
counties where the party has
county chairmen, and getting
chairmen for the other 19 coun-
ties.
Some Republican candidates
have a regional flavor—like the
12 senatorial candidates who
hope to represent i
or the 76 House of !
five hopefuls, for 77 counties;
and congressional candidates
in all but seven districts. Re-
publican party still wants gen-
eral ballot representation for
the winners among its two gu-
bernatorial candidates, two can-
didates for lieutenant governor,
and those seeking posts as con-
gressman-at-large, commission-
er of agriculture, general ."
•office and on the railroad com-
mission.
A step toward solicitation
was made by GOP state chair-
man Tad R. Smith who appoint-
ed Dudley C. Sharp of Houston,
former US Secretary of the Air
Force} chairman of the Repub-
lican’s finance committeje.
WATER STUDY REQUESTED
The Texas Water Commission
asked Texas Research T^agup
to make a study of the comrfiis-
sion’s operations and the system
of dividing the responsibility for
Texas' water development a-
mong several state agencies.
.The problem of water deve-
lopment and conservation in
Texas is so great and contro-
versial that the already-burd-
ened League recearehers esti-
mate it will be 1963 before
they can begin such a time con-
suming, comprehensive study.

Water Commission exgpessfid

John Vandertulip will submit a

lution next week.
HIGHWAY. SAFETY STUD-
IED—Top engineers and admin-
istrators from the state high-
way departments of Texas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louis-
iana will gather this week to di
cuss uniform use of highway
and street signs, signals and
markings in an effort to in-
crease driving safety.
Governor Daniel announced
that traffic deaths over the past
five years have averaged 230
below the 1956 toll. There were
2,611 traffic deaths in 1956, and
the yearly average since then
has been 2,381. Daniel credited
the joint efforts of groups in-
terested in traffic safety with
the preservation of many lives.

405-hp thunderbird V-8—Thirty years erf Ford
experience culminate in this startling V-8. Avail-
able in every Galaxie, it puts 405 horses under
the throttle, a dazzling level of acceleration that
cannot be imagined but must be felt. A super-
performance option, it comes only with the four-
speed gear box. But, unlike some “special”
engines that require delicate tuning and modifi-
cation, it puts out its potential right off the show-
room floor. Even more impressive, Ford skill has
made it a docile tiger; it idles smoothly, it is
durable, its super capacity does not come at the
expense of harshness and noise. Among expert
drivers, it is praised as a true high-performance
V-8 kt America . . . the pace-setter for 9 other
V-8’s tailored to every driving need.

NEW FAIRLANE CHALLENGER “260” V-8—Wbe«
the 221-cubic-inch Fairlane V-8 appeared last
fall, automotive writers hailed it as a great basic
advance, a compact jewel of design. Now, the
“260” V-8 proves their prediction. With 164 hp,
19 more than the standard version, Fairlane gains
a new brilliance of performance—but it still runs
on “regular,” still outsaves any standard-size Six.
It has the durability of time-tested cast iron,
slimmed and lightened by Ford’s precision-
casting technique. Created by the one maker who
has built 30,000,000 V-8’s since 1932, it brings
the sparkle and smoothness of V-8 power well
within the thrifty budget’s reach, puts truly
sophisticated engineering at the service of truly
economical motoring.
