(tin' (Eamrrmt ESTABLISHED 1860 VOLUME NUMBER 91 CAMERON, MILAM COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, AUC.UST 24, 1 NUMBER 19 VOTERS AWAIT SATURDAY PRIMARY CITY SEEKS $11,000,000 LABORATORY for grain crops here GRAIN CROPS PROFITABLE ONOER STORAGE PLAN The Municipal Airport site of more than 100 acres has been tendered to the United States Government as a proposed site for a Laboratory to be established at a cost of The Chamber of Commerce, according to Hill McIntosh, president is selecting several other sites in case the Army officials do not want the airport lands. It is pointed out that the government will require from 8 to 15 acres for this laboratory. In addition the government has asked for types of soil on sites offered and Mr. McIntosh said a soil map as well as aerial photos have forwarded to Washington. The effort to secure this laboratory for Cameron, one of seven cities in Texas being considered has been weighted down with all kinds of committees so that no detail will be overlooked.

The airport site is within a few hundred yards of a railroad and Cameron has natural gas, electric power and unlimited water. If you want to know what the government does in a laboratory of this type here it is: they treat war ma- trials to be used by soldiers, air men and navy men under conditions of extreme heat and extreme cold, a bit of scientific determination demonstrating what modern warfare demands. Two things are essential if Cameron succeeds in landing this labora- (Turn To Page Six) OF HII RON DRIVER Mrs. Mary Adame, 54 year old Mexican resident of Cameron is in St. Edward Hospital, in a critical condition as the result of being run down by a hit anti run driver at 2 a.

D. Lewis, Texas Highway Patrolman who investigated the acidecnt, Mrs. Adame did not hear the car approaching until the machine was near. She said she looked around and saw a car coming without lights and running at above average speed. Mrs.

Adame called out a warning to her sister who escaped but Mrs. Adame was run down by the mad motorist. Ofifcers are trying to establish the identity of the driver. Mrs. Adame's condition is so critical she may not live and in that case murder charges would be filed.

LT. WALTER REOO FIRST Grain storage under the subsidy plan of the Department of Agricul- ture has had an impressive inauguration in Milam County. Alva E. Sanders, director of the Production and Marketing Associa- tion, under the agriculture depart- ment was well pleased with progress thus far. Gillis Graham of Cameron has just completed construction of a largo warehouse and is operating under the Commodity Credit Corporatior which recognizes this method of hand- ling grain.

The warehouse is now operating has storage capacity for 180,000 bushels of grain. The building is 50 by 250 and is located on the Santa Fe Railroad near the Compres. Mr. Sanders pointed out that the 10 storage I tins constructed of tal are in reserve for use in case of overflow from the main warehouse. The bins are located on West 11th street.

The storage plan is designed to solve the problem of handling grain on which loans are made and prevents losses usually taken by farmers who not have storage facilities. Mr. Sanders pointed out that the amount loaned on grain is $1.09 per pounds. The cost of storage for 100 pounds of grain through March 31, 1951 is slightly over 20 cents. The farmers get the advantage of any crease in price and there is no additional charge of course because of such market factors.

Mr. Graham in operating this warehouse in connection with other warehouses he is building, will realize on his investment through a very low storage charge. Mr. Sanders said that the storage plan was attracting grain from other counties because there are no storage facilities in Falls or Robertson Counties. Milam County has a good grain sorghum crop and other small grains.

A farmer can take his grain to the warehouse, get his storage receipt, then obtain his loan papers from the P. M. A. Office and the bank will advance him the loan price. The storage system is revolutionizing grain profits because it guarantees against waste on the farm and has the benefit of a floor price placed under the market by the Federal Government to guarantee fitable growing of grains in county where such crops have main factors in farm income.

Hicks, a total of 350 students have transferred this year to the Cameron school, and since many of these students are for elementary grades, the here are becoming congested. Already the Negro Schools are over taxed and it was understood that the School Board in Cameron had protested transfer of Negro students from Milano to Cameron. Nothing official has come from the view point of the local Board, but if this report i true, the people in Cameron would be warranted to indulge anxiety about the future of the school system.

The famous name is that of O. S. Lattimore, who was a great judge of thi" same court from until his death in 1937. Thousands of voters, remembering the name they had seen on the ballot and in the news over a period of 20 years, mistakenly voted for the current Lattimore.

Robert Lattimore is claiming kin to Judge O. S. Lattimore. Hut he say how close. If there is any kinship, it is very far removed.

They are a different breed. On June 2S, 1919, Robert Lattimore was arrested on a charge of burglarizing the Fairmont (irill at 210.1 McKinney street, Dallas. Three witnesses told police they saw him break the ghiss in the front door, crawl through and come out with two bottles of beer. On the same day he was booked at Dallas City Jail and the next day at Dallas County Jail. On July 11, 1919, the Jury no-billed him.

Since then the Grand Jury file on Robert Lattimore has vanished. Fortunately, Texans do not have to vote for a lawyer with a police record tor judge of the highest criminal court, the place of last resort for criminals. VV. A. Morrison of Milam Countv is available He is a gentleman and a good lawyer, fie been a district attorney and a district judge.

He knows the job for which he is a candidate. Even El Pa County was fooled by the name in the first primary. Robert Lattimore got votes here to Judge 2365. Let us not allow that to happen again Let Texas have a criminal appeals judge who knows the job from all angles except from inside of a jail looking out. i Let's go strong for W.
