There is this television commer-
cial which comes on sometimes late
in the Sunday afternoon football tele-
casts plugging "Full service banks".
If you've missed it because you were
gone to the refrigerator or to the bath-
room, that's too bad. It is one of the
really pertinent messages we get to
see on television commercials.
There is this businessman telling of
the problems of doing business in his
small town and the bleak future it faced.
Buildings were in bad repair, the stock
was inadequate, and the community's
business district looked a mess.
Not many people traded there because
it didn't have much to offer. "The
town was dying," the businessman said.
The salvation in that case was the
"Full service bank".
The tonic it offered was encourage-
ment to the merchants of the town to
do something about the shabby appear-
ance and the dwindling inventories. The
bank itself set the pace with a new
building and then actively solicited
business by approaching the business-
other views
men and offering loans for improve-
ment.
The "before" and "after" shots
more than likely were posed but there
was a dramatic change. It showed a
conversion from a town like ours in
East Texas to a modern chopping area
such as those you find in the prosperous
big cities.
The businessman giving the testi-
monial was little short of ecstatic in
his relation of what the improvements
had done for business.
The message was clear enough: A
town must keep pace with the times
or go ahead and board up the doors.
There is no other alternative.
The spark of leadership in this
case was a"Full service bank". We
need that spark badly now to cash in
on the opportunities offered us.
As the television message made
clear, the alternatives are to keep
up with the times or perish.
That doesn't leave much to choose
between.
Mixed-up
People are strange characters. They
say one thing and mean another. They
do one thing and say they didn't. People
preach "Peace" and go to a riot.
If a crowd of people were watching a
man one hundred feet in the air hanging
by his :eeL, they would probably say,
"I wouldn't do that for all the money
in the world." Yet, these same people
would smoke cigarettes, drink alcoholic
beverages, or drive recklessly.
People complain about the govern-
ment bat do nothing to improve it. If
they don't like the situation, they usually
forget cbout it, protest, have march-
ins, or freak-outs.
It's a crazy, mixed-up world where
women are beginning to look like men
and men are beginning to look like
women.
People say, "Get where it's at," but
the question arises, "Where is it?"
If people would do what is right for
them, the world would probably be
better off. Instead, they follow the
trend. If the trend is long hair and
short dresses, down grows the hair
and up come the dresses, and vice-
versa.
In this day and age, people don't
even know their neighbors so how can
we love one another if we don't know
one another?
People can't admit when they're
wrong anymore. Instead they blame it
on someone or something else.
What has happened to the patriotism
and honesty that used to be?

LETTERS
DEAR SIR:
On a recent business visit to vour citv. I had an
experience I must relate to you. We had a report of
an accident with fairly sketchy information. I went by
the police station to see if I could get a report of the
occurrence. However, Officer Brooks and I were
unable to find a report as the information was in-
adequate. Officer Brooks then escorted me person-
ally to the known address and spent considerable
time helping me to try and find the insured.
I would like to see this fine Peace Officer get
some recognition for helping a non-native in his
jurisdiction.
You know, in this age of violence and uprisings,
policemen are so many times accused of being cold
to humanity and after a time I think we may begin to
believe some of this. It alwavs renews my faith in
our society to be privileged to know for a short
period of time someone with the stature of Officer
Brooks.
My congratulations to the City of Naples in having
the pride to have such an officer.
Sincerely,
Dan White

Sage of Sulphur Bottom
An end to television
(Editor's note: The Sage of Sulphur
Bottom on his Johnson grass farm tries
to get his mind off the Middle East
this week, more or less.)
Dear editar:
I've noticed that in the last few weeks
there has been a widespread tendency in
this country to drop everything and
worry about the Middle East, but I
learned long ago if you want to get any
work done during your stay on earth,
you'd better go ahead and not wait
because the Middle East has been a
powder keg ever since the keg was in-
vented. Take the fuse out of one keg
and you find the other end leads to five
or six others.
Consequently I got my mind off the
matter by reading a couple of items
about congress I ran across in a news-
paper last night.
According to one, a committee of
leading businessmen has been studying
ways to re-organize congress to make it
more efficient.
This strikes me as a dangerous
undertaking. Congress is so efficient
now we're being taxed and lawed to
death.
The other item was a report of a

TV network executive arguing that ses-
sions of congress ought to be tele-
vised#
I don't have any strong opinions on
this but one question immediately pops
into'my mind. Who're they going to get
to sponsor the program?
The patent medicine people have al-
most exhausted themselves by invent-
ing new remedies to pay for the news-
casts we're currently getting and I
don't see how they or the h man body
can take on any more just to get con-
gress on the air.
Everybody who has a bad cold or
tired blood surely is now being reached
by the nightly newscasts, and you
can't make me believe televising con-
gress would open up a new market
for these remedies, although I can see
how the headache tablet people might
see some possibilities for increased
business once we had a close-up look
at congress eight or ten hours a day.
Some of our congressmen oppose
being televised on the grounds it would
lessen the dignity of congress.
I don't think it would hurt congress,
but it might kill television.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
