      Letters to the Editor
      Wednesday, March 11, 2009

      Written in response to an article about US 69 in Lumberton about a TxDOT project to construct a shoulder on a two lane highway

      "In the early 1970s, I had the privilege of serving as the president of the Beaumont Salvation Army board. Also serving at that time were several astute community business men - Peter Wells , Ed Collins , Wes Callaway and Marcus Dougharty. We wanted to do everything and anything to improve the Boy's Club gym on Sabine Pass, which would require replacing it. Marcus Dougharty, our treasurer, and a banker by profession, said, "You can't do that."

      "Why not?" we asked. "Because you do not have the money, and when your outgo is more than your income, your upkeep will be your downfall," he replied.
      So we replaced some rotted timbers, shoveled up the old asphalt floor with shovels borrowed from the H.G. Nichols Co. and replaced the old floor.

      So when we look at our economy remember the words of Marcus Dougharty, it still is as simple as that!"
