I heard a very intelligent school man make the" statement that a high school is just as strong as its English department.

I pondered over this assertion for some time, and finally decided that I would a at cur own English department. I had not long to look before 1 was fully convinced jttiiit this 'department could easily carry the responsibility thrust upcn it by the foregoing statement It is my purpose this week to give you a brief outline of some of the ac- coplishments of the English department of the Paradi.se High School, and I trust that you shall be as delighted with them as I was. At the of the school year, the prose and poetry to be studied was divided into sections. A leader was chosen for each division, and each loader assigned a certain part of the work to students in his division. This work has proved quite profitable and students have really to read for thought.

The book is nine by twelve inches in and I has a cover made of walnut bearing 1 a carved picture of Shakespeare.

Tracy vice president in charge of sales for the Hudson Motor Car Co.

"Cash registers all over the country will soon ring out the news that the greatest movement of population the world over has ever is way." Mr. Tracy said, "and the keys en the register marked new cars, good used cars, gasoline, tires and authorized service and parts will ring up the majority of travel dollars for the nine million American families, four to a family, which experts predict will vis- to tne or both fairs this year." Pointing out the magnetic influence of two great world's fairs in a single year and their geographic accessibility to the great majority of the motorists. Tracy declared: "1030 will probably go down in history as the of the big trek' and. if the travel experts are right, there are also nine million reasons why this year should see better business throughout, the automotive trade. "New car dealers throughout the land should have ready buyers walk in the they either never saw before or thought out of the it is the most natural thing in world for the American family to want the joy of a new car for a vacation trip, particularly a trip to the fair.

large number of good used cars in the hands of dealers will find a market that did not exist last year because. next to a new car. a good used car, bought from a reputable dealer, is the fair-goer's best guarantee of reliable transportation. Engine tune-ups and general service and parts replacements should keep dealers service facilities profitably employed. million tires will I carefully scrutinized for family safety on road, and the worthiness of nine million more spares will be weighed.

"Accessory sales should boom, gasoline and oil vendors hustle at their pumps, and hotels, auto camps, dining rooms and cafes throughout the land keep busy as that king of all nomads, the American motorist, starts fairward with his family." Trucks Taking Heavy Toll of Life in Texas Accidents in which trucks were involved on Texas highways during 10v7 resulted in the death of 070 persons and injury to 3,300 others, according to information contained in a booklet now being distributed by the Railway and Express Employees association of Texas.

Here is boti news, believe it or not If the legis-1 lators are really in earnest about cleaning up state departments, let them look into the methods employed in running the insurance department.

The fire boys in your town can verify this statement from their experience, if any, with the state department. Article 4S78, Chapter 10, Statutes of commission shall ascertain as soon as practicable the annual fire loss in this state; obtain, make and maintain a record thereof and collect such data, etc. Yet. several years ago, someone moved all to a private located in a downtown office building in Austin, owned. operated and maintained for insurance for the poo pie the public.

If you should want a detailed report of fire losses in your frown for the year, you cannot find these records in the state department which is required, by the abov.e statute. to keep them. They will be found in this private checking bureau and no one there will tell you anything. Yes. the manager of this private Im reau, which has the records, draws a reputed salary of per annum from the companies.

Nuf sod! If you legislators wish ti do some effective investigating, why not call in heads of the insurance department for a few questions and yet your local fire officials wonder they cant got rate reduced on I down tt what it should 1 One burnirei and fifty editors and their wives stood and cheered when (Jovernor Lee was escorted into their meeting here Eriday for a speech which was liberally applauded. Oh. yes. there are many who disagree with him. but it is surprising how many say governor is sincere in his efforts.

Or is it surprising, despite litigo amount of criticism which has poured on the new Chief Executive. Legislators deluged this week with hundreds of letters daily from all over Texas, letters from folks demanding what will be done about the old age assistance program. And, although scores of legislators now admit openly they do not dislike governor, yet no legislation so far has out of committees looking toward any sort tax toward financing pensions.

The House and Senate both passed the bill authorizing Hoard of Control to borrow $000.000 for pension fund and the bill is now on ernor desk for this week.

Valley folks maintain their very existance depend upon repeal of the present law, which is 11 ly, jndging by expression from many leaders in lioth houses. The Governor has said he favors the increased load. An injunction was granted at Edinburg Saturday restraining officers from stopping trucks for weighing pur post's. This will release many of them from the blockade which has in effect two weeks.

Kunschik, bitterly by leaders over state, is a pleasant youngster who likely will wish, before many weeks, he was jjick at that desk job. Although he 20, he looks oven younger. Labor is not taking it sitting down, pardon the pun, but have started petitions in Houston and other places asking for recall of Governor.

As state law does not provide for a recall, this will likely end in publicity. Hut this will I not save Young Kunschik from many problems that are due to come up as the weeks go by when he match wits with labor leaders.
