rumor IS DENIED
Recently reports have been circulated in some circles
that two prominent men, namely Chas. R. Johnson and
H. D. Campbell, had "sold out" while in Austin in an at-
tempt to secure the right-of-way for the north road
through Kenedy county. It has been rumored that these
two men sold out the north road for the west road.
Although inquiring fails to reveal where these reports
originated from, or on what foundation they are based,
in a statement to the News this week this story is empha-
tically denied by Mr. Johnson and branded by him as the
worst lie since his attempt was started some years ago to
get a road through Kenedy county. He stated that many
times during the past years he had used his own finances
to visit the highway department in efforts to secure their
aid for the construction of the Kenedy county road and
would continue to do his part in having the road built.
Mr. Johnson stated that he further wanted it plainly
known that he was instrumental in securing the designa-
tion of the west road, that he had appeared before the
highway department and asked that it be designated as
a stpte highway from Raymondville west to connect with
route 96 as weil as the designation of a state route from
Raymondville east to the Red Fish bay. Mr. Johnson
stated he had no apologies to offer for this action. He con-
tends that he is firm in his belief that after eleven years
of attempt to get the north road and at the time that he
secured this designation nothing had been accomplished
in the way of progress on the north route; it was time to
start securing other roads in the county and continue
fighting for the main objective—the road through Kene-
dy county.
About one yearvago Mr. Johnson came into the News
office with plans for a network of roads in Willacy coun-
ty. He had been to the highway department with these
blueprints and the department was willing at that time
to lend all possible assistance in building these roads, how-
ever when these plans were revealed it brought a storm
of protest and wires were immediately sent the commis-
sion which "blew" efforts of many weeks.
If these protests had not been entered this county today
would have had practically all of these roads built or un-
der construction with the outlet west, as it is today noth-
ing has been done and the plans which could have easily
been fulfilled at that time may now take years to revive.
If ti e crossing of wires continue and the efforts to tear
down rather than build up does not stop no hope can ever
be expected to build this county.
It has been repeatedly expressed by state legislators
and officials of the highway department that there are
too many pulling the wrong way. They have advised to
get together" with these problems before recognition
can be expected.
If the efforts that have been used to tear down the at-
tempts of advancement and construction in the past years
had been used in upbuilding, the county would be more
prosperous and farther advanced today. It is time for
unfied action and the 'hagg ling' and haggling' and the
fear that George might get the honor, to stop.
Both roads will be built—this there is no doubt about—
®i/u0nS. ?es n.ot .have any bearing on the other, however
if the fight within the ranks of Willacy county citizens
continues it will no doubt mean a much longer delay on
Doth routes unless harmnoy immediately prevails.

Christian Science
Churches
"God the Preserver of Man" is the
subject of the Lesson-Sermon which
will be read in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, December 10.
The Golden Text is: "The eternal
Gcd is thy refuge, and underneath
are the everlasting arms" (Deuteron-
om 33:27).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "The Lord
shall preserve thee from all evil: he
shall preserve thy soul" (Psalms
121:7).
The Lesson ? Sermon also includes
the following passage from the Chris-
tian Science textbook. "Science and
sHalth with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy: "The prayer
that reforms the sinner and heals the
sick is an absolute faith that all
things are possible to God,—a spirit-
ual understanding of Him, an unself-
ed love. . . . Prayer, watching, and
working, combined with self immola-
tion, are God's gracious means for ac-
complishing whatever has been suc-
cessfully done for the Christianiza-
tior, and health of mankind" (page
