Former University of Texas and Texas A and M alumni in Baytown back a constitutional amendment to expand the Permanent University Fund. The measure would allow reinvestment in higher yielding blue chip stocks, boosting annual income beyond current 2.51 percent from government and municipal bonds. The proposal, among several on the ballot November 13, faces critics and jokes about wooden nickels.
This excerpt argues that misfortunes can become progress if faced correctly. It urges avoiding gloom and focusing energy on the positive, offering a path to securing employment by smiling, laughing, and concentrating on controllable problems rather than worrying about inflation taxes or war. The tone mirrors a motivational column encouraging resilience during unemployment.
A humorous wartime anecdote recounts Napoleon promoting a wounded officer who quips that he no longer needs a brain since he is now a general. The legend emphasizes quick wit and military rank, ending with a clash of languages as an American is hit by a car and asked a French phrase.
The column laments bloated government and recalls vintage Texas sports broadcasting. It notes Hearst memory, thin praise for the dead, and a personal tale of broadcasting a 1939 Baylor vs Texas game. It praises Boo Peterson as EREL's football announcer, highlighting long radio hardships and nostalgic pride.
A reader laments insufficient adult education on patriotism in New York. He cites teachers shunning firm stances on questions, notes East German propaganda in schools, and argues for clear curricula that foster appreciation of America and its freedoms. He critiques a program heavy on hobbies but lacking national appreciation and mental health topics.
The piece notes Italy will export 400000 liters of wine to Switzerland in exchange for cattle. It hints Switzerland may celebrate the SWEBDP while commenting on rising cotton picker wages in the American South. The quirky lines about Tinda chicken and English cuckoos arriving on April 17 add humor.
Hollywood artist Alberto Varga recounts battles with Johnston Office over a Behave Yours poster showing Shelley Winters in sheer black lingerie. He describes repeated edits for nudity, navels, and undergarments, while defending the art as patriotic and American.
A column fragment surveys Democratic reaction to Iowa Governor Beardsley tax disclosures, a proposed guard on General Le May, Republican survey results favoring Eisenhower in Illinois, Czech leaflets in Prague, Congress’s tax debate monkey wrench, Grew’s wartime Hirohito policy, Harding defense by O’Mahoney, and Marines shifting from boats to helicopters for beach landings.
A humorous anecdote recalls Henry Clay failing to recall a dowager’s name. He admits not trying to remember, joking that her beauty and accomplishments would compel her to change it.
A chaotic central press clipping mixes questions about South America nations and geology with biographical birthday notices, language notes, poetry, and a long garbled item about a veteran and an actress. It also mentions San Francisco origins, Mount Aconcagua at 22836 feet, and various named figures, all tangled in a mishmash of trivia and obfuscated OCR text.
A column spoofs anonymous bylines and media bias by citing Frank Costello anecdotes and Washington commentary. The piece jabs at editors and public figures for defending or misunderstanding news figures like Costello and Goering, referencing Tass and Goering cremation.
Fragmented OCR text recalls past events with references to San Antonio drownings, political divisions, meat shortages, King George, Athens and England, a plane, a throne, a quarrel, San Jacinto hurricane, a 26 day picture show and a 0 percent agreement.
