Truman Refutes To Quit
Biggest news of the world last
week was the U.S. election, which
resulted in a complete victory of
the Republican party after 14
long years of Democratic control.
Although the G.O.P. received a
clear majority in both houses of
the Congress last week, it lacks
the necessary two-thirds majority
necessary to over-ride a Presi-
dential veto.
In view‘of this situation Demo-
cratic Senator Fulbright of Ark-
ansas proposed that the President
should resign and turn the gov-
ernment over to the Republicans.
But whatever else his critics may
say about Harry Truman they can
never accuse him of being a quit-
ter. The White House quickly de-
nied the Presideilt has any inten-
tion of resigning.
President Liquidates O.P.A.
The first official reaction to the
Republican victory in the national
election was the President’s an-
nouncement of the ending of price
and wage controls. The only price
controls remaining now are on
rents, sugar and rice. Admittedly
OPA has been a great public irri-
tant and failure of the present
Congress to liquidate it contribu-
ted to the defeat of many of the
Democraitc Congressmen. The
t president's action is calculated to
indicate that he is willing to co-
operate with the new Congress in
dealing with domestic problems.
No change is forseen in foreign
policy, as the course of the Presi-
dent has been generally approved
by leaders in both parties.
.abor Policies Affected By
Election
Fone result of the election is
Jrtain to be an early showdown
fi the nation’s labor front.
I’lion leaders are now consider-
ing the possible adverse effect of
ew strikes. The new Congress
| s going to be ready to put curbs
n labor by amending the Wagner
j ,abor Relations Act. The first
jst of labor’s new wage fight will
| ie in the coal industry.
This week John L. Lewis is
\ ready to lay his cards on the table
■^n his negotiations with Secretary
of Interior J. A. Krug. The gov-
ernment is most vulnerable in this
situation, since it is still operating
the mines, and must of necessity
be the negotiator in this wage
dispute. Furthermore it cannot
risk the danger of a coal strike
which coming at this time when
:oal stocks are low might very well
ps^t the whole national economy.
' .ion* Wary Of New Strike*
Whether a wage adjustment in
coal industry would lay a pat-
for similar wage demands in
r basic industries, remains to
feen. Most union leaders will
pave quite the same advantage
union mine leaders possess at
j time.
I or one thing the workers in
lie automobile, steel and other
[isic industries are not too hap-
about the results of their
ikes last year. These disputes
•re long drawn out and the
>rkers suffered severe losses of
y even though they gained in-
iased wage rates.
Hence with the threat of an un-
^fendly Congress ready tp pass
ye legislation, plus the un-
ranks of the unions,
|iat many union leaders
be mighty wary of
Tabor disputes in the
Select Shrubs
For Planting In
County-wide Plan
The Texas Roadside Council,
through L. F. Hooten, Delta coun-
ty chairman, is in the process of
selecting a tree or flowering shrub
to be planted in each yard in the
county as a living memorial to
Texas men and women who have
served in World War II.
Mr. Hooten, recently named
Delta county chairman, is polling
clubs in Cooper as to their choice
of a tree or shrub to be planted.
Any person who wishes to have
an opportunity to help select the
plant can write his or her choice
on a penny postcard and mail it
to Mr. Hooten. Selections of the
tree or shrub will be made on the
basis of the most requests for
that plant.
Three vines, shrubs, and trees
that have been suggested for
planting in Delta county are Red-
bud, Wisteria, and Crepe Myrtle.
However, any other plant of this
nature may be selected.
As soon as a definite motif is
decided upon for the county, plans
will be made to obtain the shrubs
and distribute them.
The living memorial is the first
in a series of programs outlined
by the Texas Roadside Council in
the improvement of Texas as a
whole. Clean-up of properties a-
long the highway and the regula-
tion of advertising signs are two
more steps that will be under-
taken in the near future.

Scouting Growing In
Local Council Due
To Scout Round-up
“Is there a Boy Scout or Cub
Scout in your home?
That is what local Scout offi-
cials are asking, and they declare
that if not, you’re almost in the
minority. Scouting is growing
fast in the local Council, especi-
ally in response to the current
“National Scout Round-Up’’ and
the number of boys and young
men served is increasing by leaps
and bounds according to records
in the Local Council headquart-
ers.
Parents should know that a
cordial invitation awaits all boys
from 9 years upward, and that
places are being made for them
in local Scout Troops and Cub
Packs. Boys desiring to enrojl
are urged to seek membership in
the unit sponsored by their own
church or school, and if these
units are already filled, local
Scout leaders will help to find a
place for youngsters either in new
units being formed ox in some
established unit.
“Scouting is now embarking on
a large-scale program of post-war
activities designed to thrill the
boys of this territory,’’ said W. I.
Bartley, who is District Chairman
of the local Scout organization.
“The District Committee is plan-
ning camps special events, train-
ing courses for leaders, bigger
and better Courts of Honor for
awarding badges earned, and a
full years program of fun, ad-
venture, and fellowship. We hope
to invite a large number of new
boys to share in this interesting
program, and urge boys or their
parents to get in touch with us
so that we can suggest the loca-
tions of units most able to serve
them.’’ i
Between now and December, a
record number of boys are ex-
pected to enroll, and a stepped-
up program is being planned to
attract and satisfy them, say lo-
cal officials. Cub Scouting if for
boys of 9 through 11, Socuting
begins at 12, and Senior Scout-
ing is available to young men of
15 and up.

Fire totally destroyed the home
of Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Fox on
East 6th Street Wednesday morn-
ing about 5 o’clock. The blaze
is thought to have been caused by
defective wiring.
Rev. Fox was able to remove
some clothing from the house be-
fore it was completely ablaze.
He stated that the fire started in
the attic and was unable to he
controlled when it was first not-
iced. The fire department was
late in arriving at the fire due to
incorrect information received
about the location of the home.
Some insurance wa3 carried on
the house and contents.

Bulldogs Drub
Honey Grove
Warriors 40-0
The Cooper Bulldogs crushed a
hapless Honey Grove Warrior
eleven before an Armistice Day
crowd at the Warrior Park in
Honey Grove by the score of
40 - 0.
The first half of the game was
marred by numerous fumbles
that saw both teams losing the
ball deep in their own territory.
The Bulldogs took advantage of
one of the tumbles in the first
half to push over a tally. As the
half was ending, the Bulldogs a-
gain went across the goaline to
make the score 13-0.
Striking quickly after the sec-
ond half begun, the Bulldogs ran
and passed their way to two more
tallies when “Chesso" Landers in-
tercepted a Warrior pass and
galloped 40 yards down the side-
line making the score 33-0 at the
end of the third quarter.
Coach Harold Brock used every
man on his squad during the fin-
al half and most of the fourth
quarter was played by substitutes.
The Bulldogs hit pay dirt again
in the fourth quarter to make
the score 40-0.
The Warriors were unable to
solve the long end sweeps of the
Bulldogs and their pass defence
was never strong. Only two of
the numerous passes thrown were
knocked down by the Warrors.
Meet Deport Tonight
The Bulldogs will meet Deport
tonight at Deport in the final dis-
trict game of the year. Deport
is in the cellar in the district a-
long with Honey Grove as they
have not won a district game this
year. Last Friday night Com-
merce snowed under the Deport
eleven 26-6.
The Deport eleven runs from
a T-formation and has several e-
lusive backs who run from quick
opening plays.

Lake Creek Postmistress Sees
The West In Two Weeks Trip
Mrs. Robbie Phipps, Lake Creek
postmistress, recently enjoyed a
gay evening at the famous Earl
Carroll Theatre-Resturant in
Hollywood, Calif. Mrs. Phipps
stopped in Hollywood enroute to
the National League of District
Postmasters Convention this week
at the Fairmount Hotel in San
Francisco.
Mrs. Phipps returned Thurs-
day after a two weeks trip to the
West Coast. A group of 21 post-
masters met in Dallas and left on
a special coach. They traveled
the Southern route via El Paso
and Los Angeles where they spent
two days.
After attending the conven-
tion, they traveled the Northern
route back to Texas, stopping 24
hours in Salt Lake City, Utah
and 24 hours in Denver, Colo.
Mrs. Phipps stated that she en-
joyed much beautiful scenery on
her trip. She said that the con-
vention city was replete with in-
teresting places to visit. For in-
stance we visited the Muir Woods
—a National Monument—where
the redwood trees are over
a thousand years old and
over 300 feet tall. We also saw
picturesque Sausalita and crossed
over the Golden Gate bridge.
On our journey home, we came
through Niles Canyon, Livermore
Valley, across the Coast Range at
Altmont Pass and through the
fertile San Joaquin and Sacra-
mento Valleys. We skirted the
lower edge of the Great Salt
Lake, America’s Dead Sea, into-
Salt Lake City.
Much of the history and ro-
mance of the setting of the West
is centered about Salt Lake City,
the home of the empire establish-
ed by Brigham Young, a Morman,
and his fellow pioneers. We
heard the noon hour organ recital
in the Morman Tabernacle, ad-
jacent to the temple in the Mor-
man Church grounds.
From Salt Lake City we travel-
ed via the famous Moffat Tunnel
which is over six miles long. The
trip continued through the Colo-
rado Rockies, the most spectacu-
lar mountain scenery that can be
witnessed by rail travel anywhere
in the world.
McKinzieToHead
Reorganized
Farm Loan Group
Credit facilities and services
formerly provided by the Farm
Security Administration and the
Emergency Crop and Feed
Division of Farm Credit Adminis-
tration are available to eligible
farmers through the Delta county
office of the Farmers’ Home A<k»
ministration, Lester J. Capple-
man, Texas State Director of FHA
announced today.
Mr. Cappleman also announced
the designation of Carter D. Mc-
Kinzie, county supervisor of the
FSA, as interim-supervisor in
charge of the Delta county FHA
office, which is located in th*
county courthouse.
The Farmers’ Home Adminis-
tration, created by the 79th Con-
gress, took over functions ot
FSA and ECFL effective Nov. 1.
The new agency will make pro-
duction and "ubsistence loans as
well as loans for farm purchases.
Facilities are available only to
farmers who are unable to get
the loans they need at interest
rates not exceeding five per cent
from banks, cooperative lending
agencies or other responsible
sources in their communities.
The farm purchase loans made
by the new agency are similiar
to those formerly made by the
Farm Security Administration.
Loans are made for 100 percent
of the purchase price of family-
type farms, plus needed improve-
ents. Repayment is scheduled
over a period of 40 years, and in-
terest rate is 31 percent.
Operating credit extended by
the Farmer's Home Administrat-
ion under its production and sub-
sistence loan program include?
both annual loans and adjustment-
type loans at five percent interest.
The adjustment-type credit is
similar to the “rehabilitation”
loans made by the Farm Security
Administration, and is based on
farm and home operating plana
worked out by the borrower with
the aid of FHA supervisors. It
is accompanied by on-the-farm
management assistance provided
by FHA personnel. Loans may
be repaid over a maximum of 5
years.
The annual loans made by FHA
are similar to the “feed and seed”
loans made by the Emergency
Crop and Feed Loan Division of
the Farm Credit Administration.
Farm and home plans are not re-
quired as a basis for these loans,
but they must be repaid within
12 months.
Production and subsistence
loans to any one borrower may
not exceed $3,500 in any one
year. Total indebtedness of any
one borrower may not exceedl
$5,000.
Veterans will be given prefer-
ence in all phases of the Farmer**
Home Administration program.
