News in Brief from
State and Nation
1946. He said, ' If Japan surren-
ders sooner, shoe rationing will go
out the window shortly after V-J
day."
Sharp cuts in military needs al-
ready made or anticipated was the
reason given as to why the shoe
rationing may be out by the end of
another six months.
Gas stoves, both heating and
cooking stoves, are already off the
ration list.

New hope for cancer victims is
held out with a recent announce-
ment from London of the use of an
unusual extract known to the med-
ical profession as H-II, which is
said not only to have arrested the
disease but also to have effected
complete cures in many cases.
The announcement said that in
677 "hopeless" cases 67.8 per cent
were reduced, arrested, or elimi-
nated, while in 2,500 cases treated
since 1940 there has been no re-
currerce since recovery was ef-
fected.
We are, more or less, overwhelm-
ed by the news of our new inven-
tion, the Atomic bomb. This delv-
ing into nature and dividing the
atom fills us with terrible wonder-
ment akin to awe. Such a thing
has never been done before in the
long history of man. True, scien-
tists of many nationalities have
long been studying such things but
it never occurred to us that this
would be accomplished in our day.
Now that we have it what are
we going to do with it?
It can be used either to keep
peace on the earth or to destroy
civilization. Which shall it be, and
what other inventions based on the
atomic power will in the near fu-
ture be produced ? We wonder.
Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali-
fornia died in the Naval Hospital
in Washington, D. C. August 6. He
had been ill several weeks.
Senator Johnson's political activ-
ities extended over a third of the
century. He took up his duties in
the upper house of the United
States Congress in 1917 and previ
ous to that had served his state as
Governor from 1910 until he was
elected to the Senate.
Mr. Johnson was a man of con-
viction and striking figure and
had many friends in both the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
He was 79 years old at the time of
his death.
It is reported that 800 Italians
who were interned in this country
early in the war, will be deported
to Italy during August. They are
scheduled to leave on the exchange
ship, the Gripsholm, which will sail
from our shores August 24.
We have been promised that
there will be no rationing of soap.
We have been promised a 100,000,-
000 pound increase in our next
year's supply of soap. We have
been told how to make our own
soap at home, but we have no
grease. So, there it is, folks, and
we leave the problem for you to
solve.
According to a forecast by a
member of the War Production
Board shoe rationing will be dis-
continued by the first of January
Mrs. Knox.—"I don't like that.
Mrs. Smith. She's a woman with
advanced ideas."
Mr. Knox.—"What kind of ad-
vanced ideas?"
Mrs. K.—"Oh, she had an ap-
pointment with me, and because I
was a little late she wouldn't
wait."

COMDR. JAMES HAILE MINI, U.S.N., already holder of a DFC,
has been awarded a Navy Cross for leading a flight of carrier
planes against the Japs in the Philippines. He so deployed his command
that they severely damaged six^major combat vessels. Despite heavy
anti-aircraft fire, he made an accurate bomb-run on a battleship, scor-
ing a direct hit with a 1000-pound bomb. War Bonds helped pay for
the planes and bombs that enabled the Manila-born officer to render
that foe ineffective. His home now is at Vallejo, California.

RECRUITING
The Texas State Guard is invit-
ing the substantial citizens in every
dfyand town in U,e State 'to be-
come Guard.™.". The Texas St* «
Guard is the only internal security
force in the State, and its useful-
ness is becoming more important
than ever, said Geo. L. McCargo,
commanding Company C, today.
Members of the State Guard
serve
without pay from a" spirit of
patriotism and realism in facing
the fact that natural disasters, do-
mestic disturbances and the pro-
tection of life and property demand
an internal security force, trained
and euipped to cope with them.
A Field Mobilization Training
School will be held in Abilene, on
August 22, 23 and 24th, a field ex-
ercise at Abilene on August 25 and
26.
The Guardsman receives training
and education which is invaluable
to him. He is equipped with cloth-
ing, weapons and vehicles indent1-
cal to these provided a soldier in
the Armed Forces of the United
States. He spends two hours a
week in schools, drills and field
problems which permit him to ex-
press the natural manly attributes
of his nature.
He grows and thrives on the
companionship and contacts he
makes in the Guard. Texas State
Guard personnel consists of bank-
ers, doctors, clerks, merchants and
farmers—the finest type of busi-
ness and professional men in the
State. He has the innate satis-
faction of knowing that he is con-
tributing in no small measure to
the glorious tradition of Texas on
the home front.
FIELD PROBLEM
The Field Mobilization Training
School and problem to be carried
out by the Texas State Guard from
May 16 to September 25 is one of
the most advanced ideas in instruc-
tion of State Military units, accord-
ing to Geo. L. McCargo, command-
ing, Company C, 10th Battalion.
Instead of the annual Guard en-
campment at Camp Bullis, Brig.
Gen. Arthur B. Knickerbocker, the
Adjutant General, has decentraliz-
ed the instruction and is carrying
the schools direct to every officer,
non-commissioned officer and en-
listed man in his home community.

People used to say there were only two things certain in this funny old world of ours—death and
taxes. We would like to nominate a third. And that is that a dollar buys a lot less today than it
did fifteen years ago. That's certain, isn't it? Every time you go to a store to buy anything, you
can't help realizing it. But—unlike the other two—there is one exception. It's electricity! Believe it
or not, a dollar today buys more electricity than ever before'!
You may not have noticed it—because with everything else going tip in price, you'd likely assume
your electricity costs more too. Actually, however, electricity has been coming down in price for
years—and has even been reduced since the war. Of course, you've probably added a lot of elec-
trical conveniences to your home in the last few years, and that's another reason you may not
have noticed how much the price of electricity has come down. So much, in fact, that if you're
an average user of household electricity, you're getting about twice as much for your money as
you did fifteen years ago.
And that's quite a trick! Bec*ise the business-managed electric light and power companies jhat
supply over eighty percent of our electric needs, have had enormous tax bills—and a lot of other
problems to meet since the war. Nevertheless it has been accomplished ... through efficient busi-
ness management on the part of the experienced men and women who operate America's electric
light and power companies.

> The Eightn service Command,
formerly under the direction of
Major General Donovan, recognizes
the importance and necessity of the
State Guard and supplies instruc-
tors, educational equipment, and
current information for the use of
Guard units.
Texas is called on to provide ap-
proximately 12 per cent of the Na-
tion's total State Guard enlist-
ments. Present enrollment is only
10 per cent. The Texas State
Guard, at the present time, has an
actual strength of only 61% of its
authorized strength. While this is
second only to New York State,
Texas is not doing the job that
they were called on and expected
to do, said the Adjutant General.
Patriotic men from 16 to 60 are in-
vited to join their local unit im-
mediately. See Geo. L. McCargo,
Commanding, Company C, Moran.
regular Army instructors will be
followed by a two-day field exer-

training in overnight bivouac, field

an actual emergency. Weapons,
vehicles and communication equip-
ment will be carried to the field in
full strength, and practical work in
handling a natural or domestic dis-
aster will be provided.
The Field Mobilization Training
School will be held in Abilene, Aug-
