SHOULD NOT CONFUSE TAX SURVEY
WITH OTHER WPA PROJECTS, SAYS
GRADY WILLETTE, CO. SUPERVISOR
Confusion on the part of most
people concerning WPA work in
various fields has led to a rather
interesting discussion by Grady
Willette, county supervisor of Tax
Surveys in Cherokee county.
Mr. Willette,
s'-<■.? ,3 wh° came here
- !•(,'!! ^rom Longview,
"Bji has been in
charge of tax
|Pj| surveys in this
| county for some
i months. The
f project, which
■ j; has a crew of
§$&jS 18, h not to be
confused w..a
" Jot her WPA
projects, he said
Grady Willette in an interview
with a Cherokeean reporter this
week. The Tax Survey Project
is • sponsored by the Tax Board
of the State of Texas and is "only
administered through the WPA,
differing from other work that is
sponsored and administered sole -
ly by WPA.
In the work of the Tax Survey,
records from 192G through 1935
' are examined and compiled into
a complete permanent record, a
copy of which is furnished the
county Assessor-Collector. Deed
records of the property are traced
and owners are contacted. Class-
ification of the properly as to
how much is in cultivation, pas-
ture land, etc., is brought out in
the report. Field notes are used
in drawing up a complete plat of
property.
H. P. Dodges, district supervis-
or of Tax Surveys, in a commu-
nication to Mr. Willette, stated
that it is necessary for the public
to understand that the Tax Sur-
vey work is classified as a "white
collar project" and is not to be
confused with construction pro-
jects whenein manual labor is the
keynote.

JOHN REDDITT
THANKS VOTERS
TO THE PEOPLE OF
CHEROKEE COUNTY:
I wish to take this opportunity
to express to the people of Cher-
okee county my sincere apprecia-
tion and gratitude for their sup-
port in the recent primary. The
loyalty, support, -and friendship
of my friends over the county
made victory possible for me.
I entered this campaign with
no ill will toward any person
and I ended the campaign in the
same way. It is my hope and de-
sire to be of service not only to
all of the counties in my district
but to all of my people.

CANDIDATE CARD
FRIGHTENS NEGRO
Marble board owners say they
don't mind paying the license if
they aren't raided any more.
They don't like a game where the
customer always loses—when
they are the customers.
When W. B. Thurman was cam-
paigning during the past primary
for constable in the Jacksonville
precinct, he called at the Will A.
Lewis farm. Mr. Thurman, the
political observers in the Jack-
sonville section say, proved to be
a very able campaigner, never
letting down, even long enough
to take a breath after the first
j primary.
After calling on Mrs. Lewis,
I Mr. Thurman stopped al a negro
I house on the farm. It was so
well kept and spotless that he
thought it a place where white
folks lived.
As no one was at home, he
stuck a card in the door of the
house. -
When the darky reached home
he found the card. Not being
able to read what was on the
card, he handed it to his wife.
She tried to interpret what was
on the thing.

Had Mr. Redditt and his friends
purchased enough space in this
newspaper to justify a special sec-

lieved his cause an unjust and
unfair one.

darky told his landlord. "I want
to know something. Tell me
what a constable is."
"A constable," Mr. Lewis ex-
plained, "is to the justice court
what the sheriff is to the district
court."
"Lawsy, mercy, I ain't done
nothing" the negro said, franti-
cally. "Somebody came up to my
house and left this."

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. John Solomon, Pastor
An allegation has been made
to the effect that John S. Redditt,
successful in the campaign for
State Senator in the 3rd district,
bought the editorial comment
that appeared in this newspaper,
Tiie Rusk Cherokeean, during the
past campaign.
I wish to deny any allegation
to this matter and state that The
Cherokeean is an independent
newspaper and Mr. Redditt, any
of the utilities, or any other per-
sons or businesses or corporations
cannot purchase the editorial col-
umns of our paper. They are
separated from the advertising
columns, and we snail in the fu-
ture, as in the past, express our
views on issues and men when we
deem the matter of enough im-
portance to the welfare of the
people of Cherokee county and
Beginning next Sunday night
we are changing the hour of the
evening service from eight o'clock
to 7:30. Please note the change
in the hour. The other services
of the day will be at the usual
hours.
Vacation days will soon be over,
and we need to get ourselves
ready for the fall work ahead of
us. Let us begin now to make
the first Sunday in October a
Rally Day throughout the church.

And no more surcharge for rid-

This new Free pick-up-and-de-

freight—I heard some travel-
ing salesmen talking about it
on the train yesterday. They
said it saves shippers a lot of
money and centers all respon-
sibility on the railroad. The
railroad picks up the freight at
shipper's door and delivers to
receiver's door. Of course, local
delivery men get the haul from
door-to-car and car-to-docr at
both ends. The railroad hsuidles
the whole transaction.

DELIVERED IN RUSK
The delivered price of this or any
other new Ford V-8 includes all the
following at no extra cost:
• V-8 Engine, 85 horsepower
• Welded Steel Body
• Safety Glass throughout
• Shockless steering
• Silent helical gears in all speeds
• 17 Plate Battery, 96 ampere
capacity
• 112-Inch wheelbase
123-inch springbase
• Choice of 3 colors
(6 on de luxe cars)
WHEN you get a "trade-in" offer for
your present car, ask for the full deliv-
ered price of the new car you are considering.
Subtract the trade-in allowance from this.
The resulting difference, including financ-
ing charges, is the sum you will actually
pay for your new car. And most of the
time, regardless of comparative allowances
—you will find that it costs you less to own
the Ford V-8.
This is because cars with FOB prices that
are very much the same frequently have
widely different delivered prices—and the
difference between FOB and delivered prices
of a Ford is almost always smallest.
Remember, too, that every Ford V-8 gives
Jou every one of the features listed at the
eft—without a cent of extra cost.
