His Stond On
Reopportionment

Holmes County Rep. Will
burn Hooker, has changed
his mind about reapportion-
of the state legislature, ac-
cording to a statement made
by the Lexington solon this

Rep. Hooker told the Lex

portionment previously. But
sometimes a man has to
change his mind. And since

Mr.. Hooker said he was in
clined to favor a plan to en-
large the State Senate and
have a senator for each OF
the 81 counties. Seats in the
House of Representatives
would be apportioned on a
population basis. He did not
advocate any special plan but
poke more on general pos
sibilities of the several plans
being discussed in legislative
quarters. In answer to a ques-
ton, he said Holmes County
would probably lose a seat
n the House.
The speaker said members
of the Legislature are tiree
and weary of the session
which is dragging out longer
than expected. He gave
general picture of the many
problems facing the group
particularly the financial sit
uation.

Senator StenniS appear; to

father who told you to be a little
man and take the route in stride.
Before too long you had won over
the men who had been so indiffer-
ent. You told them there was a
bonus for the boy who could re-
port perfect route record. You
said it in such an honest upright
way the men went out of their way
to help you win the prize which
was trip to see the White House
and the President.
BY this time you had learned
that Mr.. Cole wanted his paper
put inside the porch as it was
hard for him to step outside the
door, bend down and then stand up
without it bothering his head.
Other subscribers had learned to
depend on your getting the paper
to them before they left for work
in the morning. You had learned
not to stand out on the walk and
throw the paper against the house
or screen or down in the shrubbery.
You did not fully understand it
then, but now, you know your
father, in his quiet way, had
taught you to think of the sub
scriber first and learn his ways,
and you would have no trouble
getting and keeping them. Learn
ing to be a good boy on the paper
route helped you later to get first
one promotion after another.
Your father is very proud of you
and you are happy to know that
he has seen his sacrifices paid off
as you really listened to his
advice. Early in life he taught you
to give and take in this world and
to be honest and you would sue
coed in life.

self. He has sacrificed necessities
that you might get good educa-
ton.
Out of his small paycheck he
managed to save a little money to
buy you a much needed play pen
or high chair. He did without nee
essities in order that you might
have a few toys he had seen down
town.
AS you grew, your father began
to see the world in a very differ
ent way. He was seeing it through
your eyes.
He watched you at play in the
kindergarten near home. A few
years later you were playing with
a neighborhood ball team. He was
so proud watching you, his sturdy
teenager, growing and doin g
things he was not able to do when
he was your age. AS he looked
back he decided that it was time
you learned the value of earning
and saving a little money each
week.
You got a paper route. He re-
membered how he wanted to have
a paper route, but there was not
enough money for him to get one.
So, he told you he would buy
you a route if you would take
care of it. Happy to think of hav-
ing a steady income you started
out to get new subscribers, and be-
fore the year was up, you had
learned quite a bit about human
nature. A great deal you had learn
ed came as a shock.
You soon learned that all of
the men on your route were not
like your father.
Instead of having the money
ready to pay for their weekly
papers, they would tell you to come
back again and again. Others
would tell you to stop the paper
or stop nagging for a little bill
like this.
When you were discouraged and
ready to give up, it was your
