THURSDAY EVENING, FEB, 22, 1934
JOIN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE |
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE annual drive for
members will be made here Friday, and it is the duty
and responsibility of every business concern, every prop-
erty owner, and citizen to become a member, and thus
help share the cost of keeping Ennis going forward. 3
A few men are willing to do most of the work, or at
least they are doing it in the absence of help from others,
just like they do in church, school and every other line of j
endea vor, and the rest of the people ought to be willing
to help pay the expense, if these progressive and wide-
awake men are willing to not only work but pay their part
in addition. ********
The committees will be around to see you Friday and
the least that you ought to do is to greet them with a
smile and a thank you and a subscription for one or more
****
memberships.
- Make their work light and happy by doing your part
cheerfully and enthusiastically.

THE RIGHT START
- SCHOOLBOY traffic patrols have proved their value
throughout the country in both large and small commu-
nities. Wherever they have been established the safety
record has been bettered. In assisting small children
across the street and in teaching traffic safety, these
groups of boys are instinctively emulated by other chil-
dren in safety as well as in other matters. It is gratify-
ing to note, therefore, that this school year has witness-
ed- the extension of the plan.
1 Month after month the toll of traffic has become
heavier throughout the United States. Various agencies
and many individuals have been crusading for greater
traffic safety, but despite these efforts injuries and fa-
talities have increased. One reason lies in the fact "safe-
ty first" has not been popular among adults in general.
—Teaching safety to children will bear fruit, not only
in the present, when many accidents are caused by the
natural carelessness of childhood, but in the future, when
the lessons of safety learned during impressionable years
will have become a habit.
. There may be a direct connection between the exten-
sion of the school traffic patrol plan and the fact that 76
cities have reduced their traffic deatht-toll-sinee-June.—-

IGNORING THE PROFIT
SECRETARY MORGENTHAU says that the Treasury
will go calmly ahead borrowing twice as much money as
exists in the United States and will do it just as if the
$2,806,000,000 profit realized from devaluing the dollar
were not there at all. This sounds as if the gold so ob-
tained might be held in trust to maintain the buying pow
er of the dollar at a steady level. And that is according
to the real purpose of the monetary reform to which the
President has set his hand. If he achieves it, he will rank
with the great, no matter what happens to all the rest of
his program. He still has an excellent chance of achiev-
ing, too.—Dallas Journal.

:......IS THE TIDE TURNING?
: HOW dry is the legislature?
: The Mexia News asks the question:
- A proposal to make saloons out of drug stores was
killed in committee of the House 13 to 3. On the same
day the house as a whole killed 82 to 38, a proposal to
hold a statewide-teferendum in the Democratic primary. ‘
: One man who keeps his finger on the pulse of the
public pretty well says the sentiment is already turning
back toward the dry side. Although he is wet, he figures
if the people of Texas delay voting on the prohibition
question another year there will be no chance to carry
the wet side.
