Food for Thought From Flying Sau
'AY,
■<:h
Continued reports from scattered parts
of this country, and a few re x>rts from
other parts of the world, keep* coming in
about flying saucers. . -
X , \ ' ■ ] ■ - -
This saucer-consciousness has been
spurred by recent articles appearing in a
national magazine. Even rumors have an
effect on public thinking regarding fly
ing saucers. - \
, ■ .V . ' •, ’ . ;
Air Force denials have been repeated
oyer and over" again. “There’s no such
thing, as a flying discs, or saucer, or what
ever you want to call it,” they ahnpunce,
V[ Still people keep seeing them, or jclaim-
ing to have seen them. Who is telling the
truth? i.AA
Our first impulse is to reply to anyone
who takes flying saucers seriously, “Im
possible! The whole idea is ridiculous, fan
tastic, a hoax, an illusion!”
And after our outburst disclaiming any
serious regard for flying sauce:

Conservation Talk
“The actual thought behind, con
servation is not saving but in
telligent Use,” said E. T. Dawson,
Director of Wildlife Conservation
Education of the Texas Game,
Fish, and Oyster Commission, at a
recent meeting of the Fish ai
Game Club.
Dawson emphasized that the
primary purpose of his work is to|
educate the general public in the'
need for conservation of our wild
life resource^. Legislation will re
sult from proper eduction, he
said.
Pointing out the rapid jdepletion
of our five natural resourlces—soil,
water, native vegatation, minerals
and wildlife—Dawson stated that
serious conditions could result
from this interruption of the bal-
lance of nature.
As yet a program for ponserva-
tion education for the state has not
been developed, because of the lack
of adequately trained personnel to
carry on the work, according to
Dawson.
Educational subject natter on
conservation is available without
cost to anyone interested, how
ever, and a consultant will be sent
whenever possible to assist in the
work, he said.
Seed Course Added

Court No. 2 and signed;

and City Health Director

Morris, in another statement,
struck back at the charges, stat
ing: “The complaint is completely
unfounded. The ijity health' officer
and other officials have publicly
stated there wad no indication of
bad faith in any!way on opr part.
“The price We paid for the
meat through a; reputable Dallas
broker was the standard pirice for
beef—97 cents per pound ”, Morris
continued. |
The law provides penalties of a
maximum of $1,000 fine or 30 days
to two years in jail, or both.
The complaint; accuses t tie firm
of receiving 66 boxes of 1<)0 pounds
each of horse flejsh. Under the law
the firm cannot! be charged, only
individuals.
