Remember, Mr. Roosevelt is only a man, and with that, the accepted leader of the greatest compact nation on earth.

When we say we mean that it contains every factor for greatness, compact into one mighty body of people. Some well meaning American? would leave the other impression by the way they talk. Some blame the President for everything that happens on the high seas, over the mountains, on the deserts, and even in the hearts of American men and; We listen for the voice of the President with hopes that after all the lambasting given him by the isolationists, this nation will come out of the mess the world is now in, without getting into if it must be war to protect the greatest ideals of freedom in all history, we feel prompted to say not blame it all on the Presi dent. -----------o----------- Needs Landing Field IOI A Here Comes Winter Every community, especially the size of Hamlin, needs a safe and spacious Aviation Field, community owned and protected. Hamlin has none.

This fact was brought home to a number of citizens Wednesday noon when Mr. Derryberry, manager of the Abilene Airport, made a talk before the Rotary Club. He and his wife, who also is an experienced flyer, were guests of the club Wednesday. At that time, Mr. ry presented the President of the Club, Forrest Greenway, the badge of a flyer, because Forrest had pass- the grade and will soon be given his federal flying license.

Mr. and Mrs. Derryberry came over in the training plane, the one way on the long side, and by minoi roads on two sides. In landing, wires, and roads must I be far enough away to be saf flyers. 500 feet is fine space, other thing, a wind sock and markings would be appreciated, too.

None of this project would cost the community much. The land is owned by somebody, but for 30 years, no one has lived on it or has paid taxes on it and so now it might be called Hamlin people, what are you going to do about a modern necessity?

That discovery at Spindletop started our modern Texas petroleum industry and made Texas the leading oil state. In the forty years since Spindletop blew in, nearly 200,000 wells have been drilled throughout Texas. Over 500 separate fields are now producing in all parts of the State. Today Texas supplies over one-tliird of the oil and has over half of its petroleum reserves. Our industry, hv refining almost all of this oil in Texas, has created our largest manufacturing enterprise.

By furnishing cheap fuel it has laid the foundation foi many other Texas industries. From a handful of Texans forty years ago, this industry has grown until now, directly or indirectly, it supports almost one million of our people. Its expenditures reach into every section of the Stale and benefit every Texan. The discovery of first gusher oil field at Spindletop has turned out to lie one of the most important events in history of our state. Today all of Texas salutes Spindletop! On October 9, 10 and 11, during its annual convention at Beaumont, the Continent Oil Gas Association will dedicate a monument to Spindletop.

Inscribed in ageless Texas granite will be the story of oil. This is more than a monument to petroleum. It is a tribute to Texas enterprise and initiative which in forty years have built a great industry in our industry in which you and every other Texan share.

Many fields of late cotton have been stripped of leaves to the point that hardly a boll will be made to an acre. This is rather rare, however. Nearly all old cotton has made a fair yield, and is fast opening.

Hamlin and Neinda gins are ning right along considering it is about the first real ginning week of the season. Cotton is money these days, too. One man was at the bank with the sale of four bales, wThich netted him after the ginning was paid, considerably more than $400.00 counting the seed, too. The general estimate now is thaf the total crop will be less by far than last year, when around 53,000 bales were counted for Jones County. The Herald anywhere, 1 yr.
