DAILY BIBLE in this life those who dwell in harmony with the Infinite have a joy that passeth understanding. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for them that love Cor. 2:9. Breckenridge's Example should be more people like those in Breckenricige, Texas. The public housing council of that city has turned back to the Federal Public Housing Administration $750,000 allocated lo Brcckeimdge for 75 low-rent housing units.

Citizens of Breckenridge expressed belief that the money could be better used in building up our defense instead of building rent houses. This is no time to be spending money on anything except necessary food and clothing, and national defense. Public housing is not necessary to the well-being of this nation, but increased defense is necessary and should have precedence. The three- quarters of a million dollars that Breckcn- ridge returned will be just a "drop in the bucket" for defense spending. But if every other city and individual and association would take the same stand, there would be more money for actual defense, and nerhans the men charged wlh building tin that defense would begin to realize that the peonle are in earnest and would incresae their efforts toward making us stron? enough to show the world that we not onlv fan fio-Vir necessarv but that we will and are prepared to with everv resource that we have.

One has onJy to look over the classified in practically any newspaper to learn that there are for rent many apartments and houses, many others for sale, and "builders and loan companies ab'e and ready to supply the money for bnttding without calling on the Federal government for providing houses under its wasteful practices. Until we realize, and put the realization into acton, that we cannot have things as usual when thugs and bandits in the form 1 of nations are threatening us, we shall be an easy mark for them. Home Teaching Necessary HEN the Mid-Century White House Conference on Children and Youth met in Washington recently, President Truman told the assembled delegates that "the single, most important thing that our young people will need to meet the critical challenge of the years ahead, is moral of character." Then he said the basis of that strength lies in spiritual things, and he added, "I do not think I am being old- fashioned when I say they ought have religious training when they are young, and that they will be happier for it and better for it the rest of their lives." The Conference declined to adopt a resolution advising communities to devise some plan for teaching religion in the public schools, but it did declare that "nothing is of greater importance" to the moral and spiritual healih of our nation than religious education in homes and churches. From the findings the delegates had assembled during the past two years they learned that more children than at any other time are victims broken homes; but worse, more have and live with two parents, neither of whom give the children love, respect or understanding. The children's unhappiness is reflected in oolice and other court records.

Less than half the nation's youth have anv connection with a church. All face a society in which'adult community deeds conflict with adult living room creeds. So long as parents leave the training of their children in morals and spirituality to school school or dav will be little accomplished. The home is the place for teaching these things, and then thev should be added to in She school room, with example 501115 hand- in-hand with nrecept. No other method will have sviccess.

A. W.

Dr.

A. A. Walker, whom i mentioned briefly in a story yesterday, was one. Albert Walker was born in Greensville County, Virginia in 1825, and eight years later went with his father to Tennessee, where the father farmed and die! carpenter work. When the Mexican War came on, Albert enlisted in Chambliss' company, recruited in Giles County.

The company was attached to Cheatham's regiment. When the war was over Albert came home, then came to' Texas and settled in Paris. He had some knowledge of the carpenter's trade from working when a youth with his father, and after his discharge from liie army he developed into a cabinet maker. He operated here several years in that business, being engaged part of the time with Willet Babcock. In 1857 he bought a lot on Clarksvillc Street at the intersection of Church Street, where he built his home and reared a fam- tions came, Albert Walker enlisted and was made first lieutenant of Oampany, First Texas Legion, later being transferred to Magruder's command, where he remained until the end of the war.

Now an unusual thing occurred. Back from his second war, Lieutenant Walker decided tbe cabinet making business did not suit him, so in 1870 he began the study ol dentistry under Dr. Semple, who had come here from Ohio and opened a dental office. The next year Albert began practicing dentistry, and had the recommendation from Dr. Semnle which I mentioned in the earlier story.

After a while he built the frame office building on his home lot, and was practicing there when I came to Texas in 1870. Dr. Walker was always willing to talk about his military experiences, and though he did not boait of his work in that line it was easy to see that he had been through some tough experiences. In his later years, when the Fourth of July came around, he would take pleasure in reminding his friends that on that datt in 1848 he was on a boat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, returning from the war south of the Bio Grande. He did not attend a dental college, and he advertised his profession, but he did a lot of good work for Paris people notwithstanding.

Tt, was just eighteen years ago that the Washington Merry Go- Round began to whirl somewhat shakily at first in six newspapers. Today it Is published In something over 600, including iuch distant subscribers ns the Nippon Times, the Rome Daily American, the San Salvador In Prcnsa and the Sao Paulo Folha da Manhn. We are especially proud to call attention tn the 18th anniversary of the Merry Go Round in view of some of Ihe rmlstflitding news heals scored by Drew Pearson during the past twelve months.

It was just a year ago, for instance, lhat one of his stores culminated with the cnnvic- of Congressman J. Pnnicll for accepting salary kickbacks, ll was nlso just year ago John Mantgnn. the old Kansas City fripnd of President Trumnu, whom Pearson exposed three years was indicted, and Inter con- for perjury. And it was on December 22 that Pearson published story which was destined to become one of the most controversial subjects of debate in the nation during ihe vear 1850. "Most important hnckslage debate over 'V.

S. foreign policy now involves Formosa," Pearson's story begun. "General MacArthur has sent triple urgent cable, urging that Kormnsii ho occupied by IT. S. troops for Japan." This story, picked up three weeks later by all the American prcsn, still highlights Senate and State Department debate, and culminated in President Truman's famous telegram to MacArthur withdrawing his VFW statement on Formosa.

OTHER NEWS BEATS Pearson's other notable news heals during the cm-rent year have ranged from exposing thc shortage of wool for military uniforms to a sensational expose of the Mafia snd a revelation of a scries of Income-tax scanriais which led to various convictions and collected millions of extra dollars for thc U. S. treasury. The Merry Go- Round series on thc big gambling rackets am! crime in American cities was also crediled by Senator Kefauver as being large part responsible for the passage of his Senate crime investigation resolution. This series, published between January J3 and February dug up sensational racketeering developments in Chicago.

Kansas City. Los Angeles ami Miami, including the pitch that Fr.inkie Costello was making to try to reach Ihe White House through some of the friends of the unwitting Maj Gen. Harry Vaughan. Pearson told how three years he had collected certain un- derworid revelations from Jimmy Regan, then head of the racing wire, arjd turned these facts over to the Justice Department but with no results in the way of prosecution. Regan later was killed.

Pearson also told how U. S. In- Revenue Agent William Bor- ket had been stymied by politics in Tiorthern California in hi.s HllcmpU prosecute top EmUio and Al Gionottl. Later Berkel resigned and the Kefauver committee made with the same evidence, other Merry-Go Round Next day General Anderson, in attempting to deny Pearson's story, admitted it. and, a few hours later, he was suspended.
