"I’ve got my hands full!"
WHO COULD DENY IT? Few people in town were busier
♦ban Bill Beecher, corporation executive and member
of a score of business, civic and social groups. The
chamber needed his talents but he was having none of it.
Like he said .. /7 belong to too many organizationt nowl”
#
FT WAS AN OLD STORY. Big Bill hadn’t learned to say
“no” early enough. Now he was up to his coat-tails
in dub memberships end about to pass up one of the
most important opportunities in his business life. I did
him a real favor when I asked what these groups
were doing to benefit the community.
x -fb
THAT STOPPED HIM COLD and gave me a
to point out the chamber’s unique
function. “Sure,” I told him, “they’re nice to
belong to. But you can join a thousand
organizations and there’s still only one chamber
in your town ... and you should be active in it
as long as you do business here. / ’
THIS WAS JUST A STARTER. Whim Big Bill goi
interested, like any good exeeutive he wanted all the facts
So I gave him specifics on what the chamber did tc
attract new industries, improve business conditions..
all the things to make his town a better place
to live and work in
LETS FACE IT! Bill Beecher did, and he couldn’t think
of another organization working harder to promote
growth and prosperity in his community. So if you can’t
find titryi for another activity, just remember how Big Bill
felt when he told me.. .“There’s always room for one
more.” Make it your chamber, won’t you?

In Dallas.
1 REMEMBER
BY THS OLD TIMERS
From Mrs. Rhodes Ingerton,
Center, Texas: Time and tide wait
for no man and with time come
changes, but nothing but death
can blot out memories—for in
stance, memories of childhood
when our farm was near the Cum-
oerland River in Kentucky.
We loved every foot of land,
every tree and bird, the cliffs and
rocks. It was a daring thing to
climb to the big rock that hung
high up over the river and sit with
our feet dangling into space. We
could see miles away. It was fun
to start at the head of Fall Creek
and wade to the tidewater of the
Cumberland. Didn’t w«* always
find a cane fishing pole growing
along the bank, just begging for
a line and hook to fish while we
waited for the steamboat to bring
friends or relatives down from
Burnside? Didn’t the largest water
melons and muskmelons grow in
the river-bottoms, the best com
and other crops?
How about the home that has
always been so dear to you and
that you used to try to visit each
year, trying to find pleasure such
as you had in the days of your
youth; the little schoolhouse; the
big spring from which pails of
water were carried to drink; the
<id grapevine that you are sure
t.f the same one you swung on when
m child; the pawpaws, the enorm-
inis hickorynuts and so many other
iiings: ,
We have our memories, we who
left our childhood homes man.'
years ago to move to distant place
but how cruel it must seem to thost
who have lived generation after
generation on the same farms—
people who love the earth and wide
•iver—to see these familiar land
marks gone forever, gone to make
room for progress, in the form of
a dam which the government has
built on the Cumberland river.

I believe at the right age most
boys are lazy like I was. From
the time they started making
me help with the farm work
and chores at about eight until
I was grown it simply hurt me
to work.
Even the lightest confining
work pained me no little. I long
ed to be out on my own, chas
ing fancies across hill and vale,
playing down on the creek, hunt
ing the wild harvest from the
woods, or just lying on the cool
of the front porch.
But kids had to work in the
Dutch Fork- They likely earned
what they got out of me though.
I recall one late Jnne day my
brother was laying by corn. We
always scattered cowpeas in the
middles then. They would come
up, make a fair growth in the
wide corn rows we used, enrich
the land, and we’d pick peas for
then ext year there.
Well, on this occasion our peas
were limited. We bad only
about a peck. I knew that. And
I also knew the sooner I got rid
of ’em, the sooner I could leave
that simple drudgery of walk
ing down those long rows. I
couldn’t put ’em down too thick
for he’d see them there on the
bare ground and correct me.
Thoughts of the swimming
hole were strong in my blind.
end of the corn rows was a big
brier patch. Each time I’d get
there I threw several handfuls
of peas out in there. Soon they
were all gone and I was off.
b feared later my indescretkm
would be noted if it rained and
any of those peas came up ont jag
there in the briers. But the
drought continued and they nev
er did. '

Mounting Talk Could Bring Federal Action
(Last of a Series)
Federal intervention and all that
it implies in the way of regula

could be a distinct possibility »nA

governments take firm steps to
halt the nation’s

of Arizona now serving as deputy
assistant to President Elsenhower,
recently told e regional safety con

’The people at the United States
could cut traffic deaths in half in
six months if they really wanted

by its right name. And murder is
something you just don't tolerate

“Nevertheless, we are tolerating
it and we’re it's some
