POST OFFICE
HELPS COUNT
LIVESTOCK
Rura) mail carriers from the
Alto post office wilt leave some
livestock survey cards along their
routes beginning November 16.
"Information reported on these
cards is used to set the yearty in-
ventory of livestock and poultry
on Texas farms," Postmaster
Lawson explained.
In distributing the cards, rural
carriers pick boxes at random
along their routes.
"This means that not every
box will get a card," Mr. Lawson
said. "For this reason, it's im-
portant for everyone who gets a
card to return it filled out so that
USDA can get a true sample of
the State's livestock holdings."
Carriers assisting with the sur-
vey are:
L. G. Terrell, Route 1, J. C.
Erwin, Route 2, and J. W. Rich-
ardson, Route 3.
Facts and figures secured in
this survey are the basis for the
Texas and National pig crop re-
port and inventories of livestock
and poultry on farms as of the
first of the year. Stockmen and
many others use this information
in making business decisions.
Survey results will be widely
distributed through Texas Crop
and Livestock Reporting Service
releases, newspapers, farm mag-
azines, radio and television.
"This annual survey has been a
joint undertaking of the Post Of-
fice and the Agriculture Depart-
ments since 1924," concludes Mr.
Lawson.

What Is Democracy?
—Jeanne Dover and
Thilda Schuler
United States History 8th Grade
You'H find in a dictionary, the
word democracy has a short def-
inition, but to most students of
history and government it has a
]onger, more meaningful defini
tion. It has a meaning which has
been built over a long period of
time and through many hardships.
Democracy is the basis of the
principles of a government of a
free people.
First, the Pilgrims in I62u came
over for religious freedom. Is this
not part of democracy? They
wrote the famous Mayflower
Compact—an agreement on a gov-
ernment for themselves. The act
of Toleration in Maryland came
later. It said people could wor-
ship as they pleased. In Virginia,
the House of Burgesses was the
first form of representative gov-
ernment in America. Town meet
ings were a part of early de-
mocracy.
Later, freedom-loving Amer-
icans wrote the famed Declara-
tion of Independence. Thomas
Jefferson practically wrote this.
He later became known as the
"Father of Jeffersonian Demo-
) cracy." A great stec was the
American Constitution with its
BUI of Rights.
Abraham Lincoln explained
democracy when he said it was' a
government of the people, by the
people, and for the people."
Town and council meetings are
examples of democracy. School
elections and student councils are
some of the ways we use demo-
cracy in our schools.
Democracy is the freedom of
which we are aware. Only
through democracy do we have
the special freedoms guaranteed
to us in the Bill of Rights. Some
are freedom to say what we
would like to say, have a part) in
choosing our leaders, worship as
we wish. There are many others.
This week's presidential elec-
tion gives us an example of dem-
ocracy. We choose whom we wish
to vote for, work and vote for
him without fear of punishment.
In Russia, there is no such
thing as this thing called demo-
cracy. Russia is ruled by would-
be dictators, posing as the free
choice of the people.
Our democracy was handed
down to us by our forefathers.
Many died for this cause. We
should feel lucky and proud to
be a part of this and should
never let our freedoms be taken
away from us.
Our opinions are that demo-
cracy is one of the most precious
things we have on earth and we
should cherish it above all.
Tltere is no substitute for char-
acter in making a man and no
substitute for experience in de-
veloping worthwhile character.
