FARMERS
Cn Friday, February 17, there wi!!
bi a meeting "f all farmers inter-
•sted in farm problems here in the
House of Repre-
sentatives. As a
member of the
Agriculture Com-
mittee. it has been
my pleasure to
study in committer
the Farm Tenant
Bill and the Soil
Conservation Bill.
Both of these w;ll
come up in the
Farmers' Meeting on Friday the 17th.
I would like to urge every farmer
in my county, if possible, to attend
this meeting.
LOAD LIMIT
Another public hearing has been
set for February 21, here in the
House of Representatives, to take u;>
and discuss the 7,000 pound load i>-
mit for trucks. This is a matter
that is being discussed quite a bit
at 'his *ime and promises to be a
very interesting question a.* both th"
railroaders and the truckers are to-
tally interested in it. I would like
to also ur?e that every citizen inter-
ested in this be present at this hear-
ing.
PENSIONS FOR THE AGED
Lan Thursday noon, knowing that
a motion was before the House to
adjourn for the week-end, I arose and
asked my fellow members to stay
and work another day as we had im-
portant business before us. f did not
see anv reason whv we should ad-
iiiK to reorganize thi- Sunday. Please
come, bring your frinds, and help us
to decide the best reorganization
plan. Forward to a greater and
better club.
Th" atteridar.ee campaign i; still
on, and I am happy to -ay that most
everyone in Calvary ha.- been very
willing to cooperate. Everyone must
do his or her share for Christ's kinsr-
di m h< re on earth; and when He
aid for us take up Hi-; cros* and
follow Him. He did riot mean to fol-
low half way,but all the way. We
are either Christians all the way, >r
not at all.
Though for the day: may we not
be thankful that we an- not bur-
lowing through -nowdrift-. floating
through -lush, and breaking our
necks on ice; letting alone cracking
the frost off our ear- and noses. This
is just a glance at Chicago weathe •;
■ ' the -arne
ntt. . , •
-hin« keep n? away?
journ and go home.A vote was tai.-
en on adjournment, and I won. We
woiked Friday, and I think our ac-
complishment was certainly a ro i
one. Resides passing several local
bills, we were enabled to very suc-
cessfully pass a bill authorizng th.'
Old Age Pension Administration to
borrow an additional $900,000 to meet
the financial emergency. This vote
carried 118 to 5. If we would n t
have passed this bill then, the pension
grants to the aged people in my coun-
ty and the State of Texas would have
to have been reduced 2N per cent, ef-
fective next month, unless something
was done. I think that it was w->ll
worth our time to work a day longer
and get this bill passed.
DEER AND WILD TURKEY
Since asking the opinion of my con-
stituency on closing the deer and
turkey season for another five year.:,
1 have received twenty requests from
the hunters and citizens of my county
to introduce the hill. Since there was
no oppost to this, I went ahead and
introduced the bill, which is known
as House Bill 3fW5. 1 have contacted
the State Game Department and they
promise me that they will stock Bas-
trop County with wild turkey I
have been asked to introduce the bi.l
closing the quail season for five
years I will appreciate any com-
munication from you people on do
ing this reason. 1 have a petition op
my desk signed by thirty-two resi-
dents of Barton's Creek community
for ♦he purpose of getting the law.

posed to thi.*, I will appreciate yout
contacting me and advising me as
to your outlook on the situation be

FOREt AST
1 have been informed from teli,;
ble >ui e- that Mr. kiutschik will
be coufiimed by the Senate as Labor
