I I *
In announcing my candidacy for
Grayson County Tax Assessor-Col-
lector, it seemed to me to be entirely
fitting and proper to present to the
voters of Grayson County my per-
sonal and business qualifications.
I am 49 years of age, married, have
two children. My home is at 408
West Alta Vista Street in Sherman,
but I was born and reared in the Oak
Grove Community between Denison
and Pottsboro. At the present time,
I am in the service station business
at 302 West Lamar, Sherman, and
have been engaged in different busi-
nesses in Grayson County all of my
adult life, except for approximately
four years served in the United
States Army during World War II.
I have had over a year’s experience
working in the Tax Assessor-Collec-
tor’s office, serving as a deputy un-
der Collier Yeury. My service in
that office was cut short when I en-
tered the Army.
Knowing the problems of this of-
fice and having had experience there,
I feel that I can treat the tax payers
of this county with fairness and cour-
tesy. Further, it is my intention to
cooperate in every way, not only
with individual tax payers, but with
other governmental agencies, in the
operation of this office.
T ask for your vote and the oppor-
tunity to serve you as your new Tax
Assessor-Collector.

Going Broke
The word “bankruptcy” came from
the Latin “bancus” (a tradesman’s
table) and “ruptus” (broken).
Under old English law a bankrupt
was a trader who hid himself or did
other things to defraud his creditors.
Under the Roman law creditors
could cut up the bankrupt’s body and
each take his due share. Other laws
would put.the debtor in prison or in
chains, allow whipping and hard la-
bor. East Indian creditors could sell
It amended the act in 1938 to refine
liquidation and rehabilitation pro-
cedures.
Today the act relieves the debtor
through liquidation, or reorganiza-
tion and rehabilitation. His creditors
have always worried about the
debtor, but now the state through
law has declared the public concern
in putting him back on his feet.
The Supreme Court has said that
the act aims to “relieve the honest
debtor from the weight of oppressive
indebtedness, and permit him to start
afresh, free from the obligations . . .
consequent upon business misfor-
tunes.”
This purpose is “. . . it gives to the
honest but unfortunate debtor who
surrenders (his property) a new op-
portunity in life and a clear field for
future effort. . .
Also the law puts creditors on no-
tice to watch out that their debtors
do not over-extend themselves.

the debtor and his family into slav-
ery forever.
In the Middle Ages a bankrupt
was a criminal. Later he got some
rights: Though creditors could force
him to turn over all his goods, he
would escape prison.
The basic concepts of our bank-
ruptcy laws are: (1) Prorate the
bankrupt’s assets among his credi-
tors, (2) discharge him from most of
his debts, and (3) “grubstake” him
by exempting certain things from the
creditor’s reach.
The English wanted to discourage
extravagance, yet they saw that a
debtor’s misfortune could trap him.
So the early bankruptcy laws grudg-
ingly were only for actual tradesmen.
Others had to take their medicine.
Our Constitution gives Congress
power, first used in 1800, “to estab-
lish a Uniform . . . Law on the sub-
ject of bankruptcies.”
A’fter Congress had passed
then repealed three laws it passed
our present bankruptcy act in 1898.

The February 5 meeting the the
Friday Literary Club met in the home
of Mrs. Glen Earnheart. Literary-
Lanes was the theme of the program
that was presented to the members
and two guests, Mrs. Grady Riley and
Mrs. Burgher Reed, both of Trenton.
During the brief business session,
Mrs. Homer Sears and Mrs. Russell
Summers were elected as delegate
and alternate to attend the district
convention of Texas Federated Wom-
en’s Clubs in Denton on March 3 and
4.
Mrs. Burgher Reed Vestal gave a
book review, “The Miracle of Merri-
ford,” by Reginald Arkell. This is a
story of the English village, Merri-
ford, that hadn’t changed for cen-
turies until the United States Air
Force built a jet air base there, then
the town was transformed overnight
from bliss to bedlam. In this gentle
story we learn that kindliness and
friendliness are still the seed
which a miracle can flo’wer.
Mrs. Houston Darwin gave two or-
gan solos.
Refreshments were served by the
hostess.—Reporter.
