worry - - maybe government
Bjr Pen Jefferson
Having troubles'* Don
will take care of them.
To make things all hunky-dory down on the farm, the
federal government has put up tens of billions of dollars to
keep prices up and is still kicking in to the tune of $5 billion
a year of the taxpaver's money. The mess is worse than ever
as most any farmer will tell you. but no one can say agri-
culture is neglected.
Due to changing needs, times, and habits many of our
business firms are finding the going hard. So, as a start, it
has been proposed that, over a three-year period, the vari-
ous units of government kick in with more than $500 million
in grants and low-interest loans to city transit firms. Rep-
resentative Taft estimates the ultimate total at $20 billion
Representative Derwinski thinks that “Handing out govern-
ment grants will discourage initiative among transit opera-
tors who might otherwise solve their own problems; drive
financing out of the field, and subsidize inefficiency.” They
sure would—but never mind little things like that.
There’s lots of money down there in Washington, so
long as we don't worry about more and more taxes, more
and bigger deficits, a worsening world trade position, infla-
tion, and other such pettv matters. Got vours vet0

We will vote for Lawrence Barrett, owner and operator
of Barrett's Cleaners in Cooper as being the most observant
and patriotic fellow we know. Lawrence said he noticed a
great many flags flying from business firms' awnings and
at several homes in Cooper. July 4. He also noticed that
some of the flags were soiled and many of them wrinkled.
He has asked us to tell the Review readers to bring their
flags to his place n the north side of the square in Cooper
and he will clean and press them as a courtesy service. We
need a lot more folks in Cooper with the same throughful-
ness as expressed by Mr. Barrett.

A Cooper man is exemplify-
ing the precepts of his father,
the late Uncle Benny Clark
who endeared himself to hund-
reds of children attending the
old East Ward School through
his stories, guidance and gifts
of pecans He is Hiram D.
Clark Sr who operates a
country store more as a hobby
than as a means of livelihood.
Son of the late B F. and
Roann iLawhon1 Cla.k, Hiram,
D. Clark Sr was born on
March 13. 1889 in the old Hog
Waller Community of Delta
County, now known as the
Cross Roads Community. Most
of his life has been lived in
Delta County where he has
farmed and been active in
civic affairs.
He now owns
Clark's Country
Road 128. Rou
chiefly because i
opportunity to
people from
life.
On April 8. 1909 Mr. Clark
married Miss Lillie Johnson in
Camden. Ark., who now is his
"partner' in the country store
They have three children. Mn.
Lillian Stevens and Mrs. Ber-
nice McDowell, both of Dallas,
and Hiram D. Clark Jr., Delta
County farmer. They also have
five grandchildren - four boys
and a girl, and four great-
grandchildren.
Mr. Clark's first schooling
was in a back room of his par-
ent.' home at Hog Waller. He
then attended Cross Roads
School. and then attended
Cooper Schools, lacking only
one year of graduating at
Cooper High School. He then
became a student at the old
Mayo College in Commerce,
now known as East Texas
Svate College. Deciding that he
v.anted to be a business man,

HIRAM D. CLARK SR.
he entered Central Business
College at Sedalia, Mo., where
he was graduated in 1907.
He then accepted a position
in the office of the U. S. Steel
Corporation in Dallas, and
later worked for the Continent-
al Gm Company at Dallas, and
the Camden Milk Company at
Camden. Ark. Returning to
Cooper, he served as Delta
County Commissioner for four
years.
Mr Clark has been a mem-
ber of the First Baptist Church
of Cooper for 58 years, join-
ing the church m 1905. He and
his wife, who is also a Baptist,
attend service there regularly.
An ardent sports fan, Mr.
Clark is an enthusiastic rooter
for the St. Louis Cardinals. “If
they ever play a world series
in St. Louis I intend to go see
the games", he said.
Conditions were mighty bad
financially when he finished
business college in Sedalia in
1907. Mr. Clark said. He had
worked his way through the
college by serving as a hotel
|gj
nigh: clerk, and was paid in
"script". When he was ready
to come home to Cooper he
found that the railroad would
not accept script for a ticket,
and neither would the Western
Union accept script for a tele-
gram. so he just sat down and
wrote his father a letter. It
wasn't long until he received
cash from his father for his
trip hon e
Commenting on conditions i»
1907. when it was hard to get
a job of any kind, and condi-
tion.- today when anyone who
wants to work can get a job,
Mr. Clark said: “We are living
in the greatest age of all his-
tory, and I almost envy chil-
dren who are being born to-
day No one. of course, knows
what the future holds, Dut
with the progress civilization
,s making the education of fu-
ture generations will be un-
limited.”
Mr. Clark ha» always voted
the Democratic ticket and in-
lends to continue with that
party "because I know that it
offers us more advantages
than any other party on re-
cord."
Whiie continuing his farming
interests in Delta County, Mr.
Clark has operated Clark’s
Country Store for the past 14
years.

check to make sure you are
not going downhill.

duct of fresh thinking, and
much of it thinking which to
