FORCED LISTENING
By Ruth Taylor
Is there a controversy in your
town about music in busses or in
stations? There is here in Wash-
ington. Now I’m one of those per-
sons who likes to take my music
or leave it — but I want to be
the sole judge of which it is. It
seems to me that those who ad-
vocate giving us something to lis-
ten to when we are about our
business, take the stand that we
are children, having to be amused.
I disagree.
But whether or not our ears
Persona!
To Women With
Nagging Backache
Ah wp Rot older, Btrena and strain, over-
exertion, excessive smoking or exposure t<
cold MometimoH slows down kidney funr
tion. This may lead many folks to com
plain of nagging backache, loss of pep am
energy, headaches and dizziness. Getting
up nignts or frequent passages may result
from minor bladder irritations due to cold,
dampness or dietary indiscretions.
If your discomforts are due to these
causes, don’t wait, try Doan’s Pills, a mild
diuretic. Used successfully by millions for
over 60 years. While these symptoms may
often otherwise occur, it’s amazing how
many timeu Doan’s give happy relief—

Hush out wuate. Get Doan's Pills today!
Doan’s Pills
should be defeated with cater-
wuulings — good, bad or indiffer-
ent, is I think, relatively unim-
portant. There is a bigger ques-
tion involved — that of forced
listening. To me is smacks of the
dictator state. I remember Mus-
solini and Hitler — and I see the
ultimate effect of forced listening
in the parrot like utterances of
the’Communists.
Why all this fuss about a little
music; Because if once the pre-
cedent of forced listening is es-
tablished, then music may give
way to propoganda speeches or
slanted news commentaries. Lib-
erty goes by default.
What about the radio, Per-
fectly simple. When I don’t like
a speech on the radio, I can turn
it off. Even if it is the President
of the United States. I, the in-
dividual, have the right of choice.
Don’t I believe in free speech,
Of course, I do. In fact, I be-
lieve in it so strongly that I be-
lieve both the NAM and the Com-
munists have the right to buy time
to tell their story. But I want to
be able to turn them both off
whenever I want to. I don’t want
to have to listen.
Now it happens that I believe
my middle-of-the-road opinion is
the best brand of Americanism.
But I also believe that democracy
means the rule of the people —
not groups. I don’t object in the
least to the groups sounding off,
but I want them to be labeled
as groups and not proclaim that

Sen. G. C. Morris
Is Candidate for
Lieut. Governor
AUSTIN:—State Senator G. C.
Morris, Greenville, Thursday an-
nounced his candidacy for Lieu-
tenant Governor. He was in Aus-
tin for a meeting of the Legisla-
tive Council, an agency he helped
I organize last year and then head-
ed as first chairman.
Sen. Morris, 37-year-old Green-
ville attorney, promised an active,
fighting campaign carried to ev-
ery community in Texas. He said
he would go to the people with the
proposal of taking stock, reorgan-
izing and simplifying state gov-
ernment as the way to continue
needed services without levying
new taxes.
As Senate President last sum-
mer, Sen. Morris became Acting
Lieutenant Governor, succeeding
Allan Shivers. He served seven
months in this office.

Honors Sons With
Birthday Party
Mrs. Cordell Grizzle honored
her sons, Jerry Neal Grizzle and
Jondcll Grizzle, with a birthday
party March 18 at the park.
After games were played, two
decorated birthday cakes, ice
cream and drinks were served to
the following guests: Gerald
Wayne Kesler, Jerry Leeman,
Norma Jean Cauley, Nada Holmes,
Neva Nell Johnson, Linda Lue
Harris, Jerry Toon, Bobby Nance,
Sandy Nance, John Harvey Cross,
Charles Frank McKinney, Ver-
non Stanley, Wayne Grizzle, Jr.,
Mary Deon Grizzle, Tony Mack
Burrow, Mrs. Raymond Burrow,
Mrs. Wayne Grizzle, Miss Thelma
Jo Neal, the honorees and their
mother.
they are the sole exponents of
the American way of life.
In short, I think propaganda
should be labeled as such. That
instead of saying “The American
Way of Life is such-and-such” —
a plain statement as though it
were a fact, they should have to
say “The way of life I and my
group want for America is such-
and-such.” And that each group
that takes to the air should have
to begin by stating their group
and specifically what it stands
for. The other evening I counted
four speeches all claiming to re-
present the American way of life,
and all demanding opposing
things. I’m tired of false labels —
of Communists calling themselves
liberals, of Dixiecrats calling
themselves Democrats, of Facists
calling themselves Republicans. I
think every man has a right to
his own opinion — but I think
he should have the moral courage
to say what that opinion really
is — not camouflage it under a
lot of high-faluting cliches.
And I want the right not to
listen. Maybe it isn’t in the Bill
of Rights, but it is inherent in it.
In 1791 Edmund Burke, the great
friend of the American colonies,
pointed out that restraint is also
numbered among man’s rights.
And I will actively resent any
infringement of that right!
No Easy Road to
Insect Abatement
AUSTIN:—“There is no easy
road to the abatement of insects
and rodents, says Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
state health officer. Frequently
people get enthusiastic about the
destruction of the insects and be-
lieve that, if an airplane flies over
the town, or if a huge fogging ma-
chine rolls through town spread-
ing an insecticide, the insects will
be killed instantly and peace from
the insect nuisance will remain
forever. This is an erroneous
and, unfortunately, bad practice,
because it creates an unwarranted
sense of security.”
Before any killing is anticipated,
a thorough clean-up of the com-
munity should be carried on. This
means cleaning up the rubbish and
garbage and eliminating all in-
sect feeding and breeding places.
It might mean the draining or
filling in of wet areas for de-
struction of the mosquito larvae.
When this is done, one will be
surprised how few insects are left
to become a nuisance and, per-
haps, a public health problem.
Following this, it is suggested
that insecticides be sprayed man-
ually to those places inhabited by
the insects. Experience has shown
that a two per cent solution of
DDT is still the most effective in-
secticide to use for general sani-
tation. This is spread to form a
thin coat on the surface, where
it can remain for future destruc-
tion. A spray that will just mois-
ten the surface is sufficient to be
effective. Spray only those areas
where you know the insects
gather.
PRESTON SMITH
Preston Smith to
Run for Lt. Governor
Preston Smith, 38-year-old Lub-
bock business man, entered the
political arena this week by an-
nouncing his candidacy for Lieu-
tenant Governor.
Smith is a three-term veteran
of the Texas House of Represen-
tatives. He was first elected in
1944 to represent District 119.
During his service in the House,
Smith has been for four years a
member of the appropriation com-
mittee. He has also served as
chairman of the sub-committee on
higher education. He is a firm
believer in the application of
sound business methods in the
operation of the state government.
Born on a Williamson County
farm, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. K.
Smith, he stayed with farm life
until 1931. He is the seventh child
in a family of 13 and has six
brothers and six sisters.
Much of his career in the House
has been devoted to championing
the cause of Texas’ rural people.
He was author of the rural hos-
pital bill and co-author of the
rural telephone bill, and also has
been active in the fight for farm-
to-market roads and soil conser-
vation. Smith has been a sup-
porter of all veteran legislation.
