short-cut. Seems kinda like being
cheated out of your dessert after
eating a thick steak .... I just
can’t understand a thing like this.”
He let us out a Milano Junction
and then headed hell-bent for Waco,
We both heaved a sigh of relief
when he was gone, but it was
several hours before we could get
him out of our minds.
Well sir, our next ride came
along quick enough—in a big truck
so heavily loaded with bales of hay
that it didn’t seem possible for
them all to stay on. As luck would
have it, the driver had a girl with
him so there was only room for
one of us up front. Roommate and
I matched to see who had to ride
on top of the hay.
I lost!
Boy, was that ride cold! Good
thing I don’t have hay fever, too.
The truck didn’t go faster than 40
miles an hour, but the way the
wind whistled by I figured we must
have been going at least a hundred.
The driver took pity on me,
though, and we stopped in Rock
dale to get a cup of coffee.
It never occured to me before
then that truck drivers, too, might
have their problems, but if you’ve
ever talked with one any length of
time, you’re convinced already.
It seems that there’s a state law
about over-loading trucks,
“The trouble is,” the driver told
us while we were in the cafe, “it’s
impossible for a trucker to haul
a paying load if he stays under
the maximum weight allowed by
law.”
“As a result,” he went on, “we
have to take a chance with every
load we carry, and we exceed the_
limit every time. When we get
caught—and that’s plenty often—
we catch a fine which runs be
tween $15 and $30. Oh well, it’s a
hell of a life anyway,” he dismally
concluded.
“Sure is,” his girl agreed.
The trucker took us as far as
Round Rock where he had some
business to take care of, so we
hit the pavement again. And be-
lieve-you-me, I was mighty glad
to get off that dougle-high, triple
cold stack of hay!
Talk about going from one ex
treme to another, we did it.
Our next ride was in a new
Buick. The driver, an employee of
the Western Electric Co., was head
ed for San Antonio.
“My home is in Houston,” he
said, “but since the company has
received so many national defense
orders, I haven’t spent one day in
ten there.”
We gathered from his conversa-

tion that his job was to install
Western Electric’s telephone equip
ment for Bell Telephone Co.
“The biggest worry in my life
right now,” he told us, “is the draft
situation. It doesn’t affect me di
rectly because I’m past the max
imum age limit, but so many of
our men have been called that the
rest of us have had to triple-up on
our work.”
“Not that we mind,” he went on,
“because the company is very good
to us, but it seems to me that our
men should be exempt from the
draft. Surely it cannot be denied
that communications are an im
portant adjunct of national de
fense—but that’s just my opinion
of it,” he concluded.
In less than half an hour we
reached our destination—Austin—
and bid goodbye to our last bene
factor.
Within four hours we had made
a hundred-mile trip, met seven
widely different but interesting
people, learned of the problems of
three of them, learned their various
prejudices and opinions concern
ing current events and affairs and
received a near education the like
of which we would never get in
any classroom.
Farewell Banquet
Given for Lieut.
Col. 0. E. Beezley
Field Artillerymen
Give Banquet; Ashburn
Is Principal Speaker
Farewell to Lieut. Col. O. E.
Beezley was expressed Tuesday
night by the entire senior class of
the Field Artillery regiment at a
special banquet in his honor.
The Field Artillery unit of the
cadet corps took the opportunity to
present Col. Beezley with a pock
et watch engraved with his name
and a farewell message.
As an added token of their ap
preciation, the Field Artillery men
gave him a combination pipe hold
er and humidor with two pipes.
George Holm, B Battery senior,
acted as toastmaster for the eve
ning.
Introduced as the principal
speaker, Col. Ike Ashburn paid
tribute to the accomplishments
and merit of Col. Beezley’s term
of office as head instructor in Field
Artellery Military Science here.
“Col. Beezley and his fine fam
ily are leaving a very definite and
equally fine imprint upon the life
of this community and the officers
and teachers of the college deplore
his leaving.
“Speaking for these senior artil
lerymen and their younger breth-
ern, Colonel, they pay you tonight
man’s finest tribute—that of great
confidence, abiding respect and ten
der regard of a junior for a senior
in a man’s organization. This dinner
has no synthetic sound-producing
effects but evolves wholly from-
the minds and hearts of a fine
group of young men men who want
salute you, sir, wish you bon voy
age, and who are grateful to you
for your inspiring and understand
ing leadership.”
Col. Beezley, who has been with
the college since 1936, served in the
World War in the Finance Depart
ment (QMC) as Financial Requis
ition officer of the A.E.F.
Before being transferred to Tex
