Mrs. Susie Wagley paid our of-
fice a very pleasant call last Satur-
day. She told of an experience
with a snake. Her little dog made
such a fuss on her front walk at
9 p. m., she went out to investigate
and found a large rattler coiled up
on her walk. She killed it with a
hoe and it had 10 rattlers. Don't
uay women aren't brave creatures.

NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS
Effective August 1, 1945, each
and every dog within the City of
Moran must have a collar and a
dog tag, showing said dog has been
vaccinated against rabies. We have
arranged to have a man here to
vaccinate the dogs, on the morn-
ing of August 1. The tax and vac-
cination will be $2.00 per dog, for
a period of 1 year.
The City passed this Ordinance
several years back, as a protection
against rabies, but it is now a
State Law, and all cities are to co-
operate.
We are sure the citizens owning
degs will cooperate, and that it will
not be necessary to have to kill any
dogs that are pets and of value to
their owners.

INSURANCE FOR PEACE
Responsible leaders of our Na-
tion, viewing the stern lesson of
this war, have raised their voices
in behalf of Universal Military
Training as a preventive measure
against future wars.
They base their arguments on
the premise that a well trained
American Army Reserve is the best
insurance against another Pearl
Harbor, another devastating attack
without warning by foes that may
arise against these United States
in time to come.
Let us carry that idea to a logi-
cal deduction.
If a well trained army reserve is
insurance against attack on a
world scale, a well trained Texas
State Guard is insurance against
unrest within the borders of the
Lone Star State.
There are many prophets among
us who profess to see an era of
strife when the war is over. They
see a time when class will be ar-
rayed against class, color against
color or group against group.
I do not believe that the funda-1
mental Americanism of the people
of Texas will allow these prophe-
cies to ccme true.
Just as the law recognizes no
race, creed or color in the admini-
stration of justice, the Texas State
Guard discriminates between no
groups—labor or capital, whites or
blacks in the performance of its
duty to see that every citizen has
the opportunity to go about his
daily affairs without interference
or pressure from anyone else.
The Texas State Guard is a just
and impartial agency to guarantee
the internal security of Texas. In
all cases, the Texas State Guard
will act in accordance with the
sovereign law of the land.
Let us maintain our strength
with trained Guardsmen so as to
guarantee every Texan an equal
opportunity to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.

Adjutant General,
