Ross Roark Funeral
Services Held at
Rosalie Sunday
Old Thanksgiving
Date Coming Back
Funeral services were held Sun-
day afternoon for Ross Roark, 45,
at the Rosalie Baptist Church, with
Rev. Lindsey officiating. Burial was
in Smith cemetery.
Mr. Roark died in the Veterans
Hospital at Dallas Saturday.
Born April 10. 1896 at Aurora,
Mo, he moved to Texas in 1914.
where he remained until his death.
He was married to Miss Opal Bal-
lard at Denison, Jan. 5, 1927.
He leaves besides bis wife, his1 ciitions.

Ralph of Rosalie, Jack of Denison.

who is in the navy and is stationed
at Hawaii, a'sister, Mrs. Joe Kidd charge of Dixon
of Rosalie, six nieces and four
nephews.
Mr. Roark was connected with
the Clarksville Cotton Compress
Co., and was a former resident of
the Rosalie community.
Pallbearers were Grayson Bell,
Thanksgiving will be returned to
the traditional last Thursday in
November date in all 48 states,
though the change will not occur
until next year. President Roose-
velt will proclaim the next to the
last Thursday in November to be
Thanksgiving Day again this year.
That will be Nov. 20.
The new date was put in effect to
aid business by giving a longer in-
terval between Thanksgiving and
Christmas and is being withdrawn
because it failed to accomplish its
purpose of bettering business con-
it is nip and tuck between Hitler
and Pappy as far as talk is con-!
cerned, though both of them are;
being put in the shade right now
by the cockleburs and crab grass.
Looks like Pappy is getting too
big for the governor's britches and i
is now setting himself up for the
Senate, figuring maybe it will be j
easier to fill Mr. Sheppard’s place
up there in Washington than it is
to raise pension money and build
factories on every hill down here
in Texas, like he promised to do.
I guess he found out there was just
too many old folks and too many
hills down here for him to tend to.
But I wasn’t surprised to see
Pappy pitch his fiddle in the ring.
I figure he has been tuning up for
it for a long time and reckon he
would have busted a string if he
hadn’t got in. Pappy may be the
man for the job. I don’t know.
They tell me he says he got a Call
to run, and I know there’s no way
getting around a man when he gets
a Call. They didn’t say who called
him, but I don’t know anybody that
has authority to call the governor
except the Lord, and if the Lord
did call him to run, then he will
get there, for the Lord won’t stand
to see him beat by nobody, no mat-
ter how often they take a bath or
what size hats they wear. It may
be that the Lord looked down to
see who was trying to jump into
Senator Sheppard’s shoes, and not
seeing nobody but Jerry Mann,
Martin Dies, Lyndon Johnson and
a few other small fry, that He call-
to run, I don’t know that he will
be elected this time, seeing how
my neighbor didn’t pay his poll
tax. Which means Pappy ain’t got
much chance as the way my neigh-
bor carries on, it is him that has
elected Pappy every time. How-
ever, if Pappy does get electe d, I
hope he don’t forget us up there
and that he will make the rafters in
old Capitol Hill ring with Beauti-
ful Texas.
But I figure he’ll have a tough
time trying to make them Wash-
ingtonians give up waltzing and
take to mountain music. I’d just
ltke to see him try to fiddle his way
out of a filibuster. Yours truly,
LONESOME BILL.

Wars today are fought and
before they are declared. Any
n that, in the presence of ris-
hostility and strain with another,
a declaration of war to as-
itself is as naive as a citizen
expects a burglar to make a
call to announce his house-
intentions. Our country
$1 all of its history has only de-
clared war five times. There were
BO declarations of war against In-
tan tribes; neither was there a de-
claration of war in the War Be-
tween the States.

... it would cost you considerably
less than it does today. But elec-
tricity is not a commodity that you
can carry home like sugar or po-
tatoes. It is useful only when it is
delivered into your home, ready
to serve you at the flick of a
switch.
To handle this delivery job—to
be prepared to serve thousands of
customers simultaneously and
without delay at any hour of die
day or night — is not a simple
matter like delivering groceries or
meat. It requires a huge outlay
for transmission and distribution
lines... carloads of poles...
miles of wire...costly subsysHtoli
... large numbers of transform-
ers, meters end other delicate end
expensive items of equipment. It
takes a trained personnel and the
expenditure of thousands of dol-
lars annually for maintenance.
All this makes the delivery of elec-
tricity one of the most expensive
distribution jobs in the world, but
it is only one item in the cost of
rendering electric service. To it
must be added the cost of gener-
ating the electricity and the cost of
meter reading, billing, collecting,
servicing, accounting and manage-
ment, to say nothing of taxes, de-
predation and interest on invested
capital. Yet despite the complex
and highly technical nature of the
busiimto and sill the items of $r*
