Editorial Comment...
back in 1942, when we were
sent to Fort Clark, Texas, to
join the 112th Cavalry Regiment
of the 1st Cavalry Division. It
turned out that not only was
the horse not obsolete, but we
were issued one. All the ro-
mance of the jingling spurs and
the shining sabers could not
overcome the distrust we felt
for horses. Any glamour that
was attached to the dashing
horse cavalry was dispelled im-
mediately when we found that
the cavalryman walks nearly as
far us the horse on every march.
And when the day's ride Is
over, the horse comes first. He
is curried, sponged, fed, and
bedded down before the tired
and grimy rider nets to nit down
and rest.
We were born loo late for the
horse cavalry. We fitted the
seat of a jeep much better
than the cavalry saddle. And as
far as we're concerned. Secre-
tary of Defense Wilson could
have taken this latest step some
15 years ago without bothering
us a 'bit.
IT'S THE LAW
This legal column is pre-
pared under the supervision
of the State Bar of Texas and
distributed as a public ser-
vice by the lawyers of Texas.
J?very effort is mad to insure*
that it reflects an accurate
itilei'pietution of the law as
applicable to the stated facts.)

THE RISKS ARE ALWAYS BIG
(Industrial News Review)
The American oil industry
seems to set new records as a
matter of course.
Last year, for instance, pro-
duction and consumption oC li-
quid petroleum and natural gas
hit another high. Yet our proved
reserves of these resources in-
creased again. And "proved re-
serves" means just what it im-
plies—underground supplies of
oil and gas whose locations have
been established and estimated,
and which are known to be
available for production. Not
taken into consideration are the
millions of acres of U.S. lands
known to be favorable to the
accumulation of oil and gas but
whose potential has not yet been
developed or established. j
At the same time, the "il in- j
dustry has its problems. The
American Petroleum Institute
points out that the search for oil
is becoming more difficult and
"xpensivo with each DiitSsinR
/ear. Most wildcat wells turn
tut dry and worthless—>and the
drillers must so deeper and.
deeper, at rising cost, in their
pursuit of the oil. This is an
enterprise where the risks are
always bag).
And that means that the pos-
sibility of reward must be big
too, when the risk-takers hit the
jackpot and bring in a worth-
while well. There is no incen-
tive to progress like the profit
motive—let the left-wingers re-
vile that motive as they will. It
led to the unprecedented past
achievements of the oil industry.
And what is true of yesterday is
true of today and will remain
true tomorrow.
THE HORSELESS CAVALRY
(Ochiltree County Herald)
A note of regret is sounded
in the announcement of the
Secretary of Defense that the
veterinary branch of the ser-
vice has been abolished. Rea-
son for abolishing the veteri-
nary branch, they say, is that
there is no place in the modern
army for horses and mules.
We thought this held true

WHAT IS A CUSTOMER?
(The Hamlin Herald)
A customer is the most im-
portant person ever in our office
or store, in person or by mail.
A customer is not dependent on
you; you are dependent on him.
A customer is not an interrup-
tion of your work; he is the
purpose of it.
Yoti are not dolna him a fa
vor by serving him; he is do
ine you n favor by giving you
the opportunity to do so. A
customer is not an outsider to
your business: he is part of it.
A customer js, not a cold sta-
tistic. he is a flesh-and-blood
hman beimsf with feelings and
emotions like yours and with
biases and prejudices. A cus-
tomer is not someone to argue
with. Nobody ever won an ar-
gument with a customer.
A customer is a person who
brings vou his wants. It is your
job to handle them profitably to

THE SECOND START
(Exchange)
Two brothers, convicted of
stealing sheep, were branded on
the forehead with the letters
S. T„ meaning "Sheep Thief".
One of the brothers was un-
able to bear the stigma, and
tried to bury himself in a for-
eign land. But men asked him
about the strange letters, so he
kept on wandering restlessly,
and at length, full of bitterness,
died and was buried far from
home.
The other brother said to him-
self, "I can't run away from the
fact that I stole sheep. I will
stay here and win back the re-
spect of mv neighbors and my-
self."
As years passed, he built a
reputation for integrity. One
day a stranger came and saw the
old man with the letters on his
forehead. He asked a native
what they signified. "It hap-
pened a great while ago," said
the villager. "I've forgotten the
particulars, but I think the let-
ters are an abbreviation of
'Saint'."

of the national political conven-
tions, or the monthly meeting
of your neighborhood PTA, a set
of procedure rules compiled 80
years ago by an almost "forgot-
ten Army General usually has
much to do with the way the
business is conducted.
You have probably heard of
"Robert's Rules of Order," which
was (fubllshed in 1876. Gen-
eral Henry M. Robert ordered
only 4000 of his original edi-
tion, but since that time almost
1,500,000 copies have been
printed. The rules have been
modernized from time to time,
but the revisions have been
slight.
Actually the rules tor ^on-
ducting a meeting go back to the
early days of the English Parlia-
ment, although General Robert
based his upon the rules and
pratices of the U.S. Congress.
Robert's Rules come close to
being "law of the land". They
are given added legal status by
the fact that the charter, consti-
tution, or by-laws of almost ev-
ery organization you can name—
your wife's literary society, your
labor union, or the corporation
you work for (large or small)
ordinarily state somewhere that
all meetings will be "conducted
in accordance with Robert's
Rules or Order". Special rules
may be made by any organiza-
tion contrary to Robert, but if
such provisions are not in the
by-laws his little book—where
incorporated in such by-laws—
remains the "bible" to be fol-
lowed strictly.
All this means, in effect, that
if a serious question arises over
the legality of action taken by
an organization, a court might
have to consider General Robert's
rules with the same care as it
does the law to determine
whether the action in question
was proper.
If you take an active part in
church, school, fraternal or
civic organizations, some know-
ledge of Robert's Rules is im-
portant. At your lodge meeting,
for example, things go much
smoother if both the chairman
and the members on the /loor
follow Robert and stick to the
business at hand. That way
you'll get home before the wee,
small hours, and ptill have time
for some relaxation after the
business session.
There are many simple guides
to Robert that will help, and
unless you are chairman of a
large or important meeting, it
probably isn't necessary to know
all the details in the whdle
book.
Now we move to adjourn un-
til next week—a motion
General Robert says takes
dence over everything else.
