Governor Signs Proclamation Calling
For Registration Of Men February 16
There probably was not a person in Matagorda, Brazoria, Wharton,
or Jackson Counties who did not know that registration of men between
the ages of 20 and 45 for the Selective Service would take place Feb-
ruary 16.
Nevertheless, a proclamation by the governor of each state follow-
ing the president’s proclamation was one of the formalities provided in
the master plan which has been in the files for more than a year
awaiting the emergency.
So last week Governor Coke Stevenson affixed his signature to the
proclamation nnd on it was placed the great seal of Texas, calling upon:
1. All men subject to registration to familiarize themselves with
the regulations at once.
2. All boards and registration authorities to make ready the
machinery of registration.
3. All employers nnd government agencies to give their men time
off on February 1G to register, between 7 o’clock in the morning and
9 o’clock at night.
Patriotism, Your Self-Protection
Demands That You Do Your Part
Right now thousands of young American soldiers and sailors are
risking their lives to protect yours. Patriotism, your own self-protec-
tion, demands that you do your part, now!
Start buying United States Defense Bonds and Stamps immediate-
ly. Back down the aggressors with your dollars. Bonds are on sale at
banks and postoffices. They cost as little as $18.75. Put your dimes
in Defense Stamps and they, too, will go to work.
America needs your money for a very important reason—to safe-
-guard your country, your life.
Red Cross Campaigners Are To
Be Congratulated On Great Job
Matagorda County’s Red Cross campaigners have done a great job,
triumphantly passing their quota by raising $4,100, with probably more
to come.
Coming in tax-paying time, on top of heavy defense bond purchases
and just ahead of the income tax shellout, this showing is remarkable
and highly gratifying. It is a splendid tribute to the patriotism nnd
public spirit with which the people of Bay City, Palacios, and Matagorda
County have met every worthy call for help ever made of them.
Frank Shaw Taylor and others who helped him in the drive are
due congratulations and the gratitude of all those who will benefit from
the fund.
As for the contributors, each one of them may consider himself a
stockholder in an enterprise of mercy, whose capital and stock-in-trade
will be devoted wholly to the relief of suffering humanity. Every
giver may reflect that the dollar he has given may be used to buy band-
ages and medicine and hospitalization for a loved one or friend wounded
while fighting for his country.
That is what the Red Cross funds are for.
“America Fit Will Be America
Invincible,” Pamphlet Points Olit
“America fit will be American invincible,” a pamphlet published by
the National Recreational Association declares in pointing out that the
physical fitness is essential to one’s best efforts in the armed forces,
in the factory, in the office or in the home.
An almost unlimited wealth of recreational facilities exists in this
country. Many types of recreational activities are available to almost
all, and most are within reach of the majority of citizens.
For healthful recreation one may take his choice between hiking
in the open air, and bicycling; between fencing, volleyball, basketball,
REVIEWS
AND
PREVIEWS
By IRENE
To the accompaniment of some
of the most resounding laughs it
has ever been the reviewer’s good
fortune to hear, Paramount's new
contribution to the jollity of the
nation is "Nothing But The Truth.”
The signal’s up once again for
choice, laugh-loaded comedy, for
another Bob Hope-Paulette Goddard
I icture is about to breeze into town.
For comedy Bob Hope is about
the hottest thing on the screen
now, nnd movie fans just don’t seem
to get enough of him—and to see
the beautiful, saucy Paulette God-
dard teamed with him is also nn
extra treat.
Taken from the famous stage
comedy, “Nothing But The Truth”
concerns a bet of $10,000 made
by a certa’n veracious young man
that he could tell the truth for
twenty-four consecutive hours.
That’s the basic idea of the plot,
and with Bob Hope in the role of
that certain veracious young man
it's just fairly bursting with op-
portunities for screamingly funny
situations.
And feast your eyes on the sup-
porting cast; Edward Arnold, Leif
Erickson, Helen Vinson, Cntharine
Doucet, Gienn Anders, Grant Mitch-
ell. Rose Hobart, and Willie Best,
the negro comedian.
U. S. Air Corps
Requirements Are
Lowered A Lot
The United States Air Corps will
take men from 18 to 26 inclusive
nnd no educational requirements are
necessary, Sergeant Harry B. Luck-
erneyer, recruiting officer here,
stated.
“Any man with n normal amount
of intelligence and an alert mind
will be accepted in the air corps,”
the sergeant said, and added that
the recruit must pass a mental and
physical examination.
Sergeant Luckemeyer’s office is
located in the basement of the Post-
office in Bay City.
Pay your poll tax.

tumbling, boxing, wrestling, badminton, and other sports in gymnas-
iums. Then there are baseball and softball for men and women; swim-
ming, diving, and boating; tennis, archery, and all sorts of track events
such as hurdles, races, high and broad jumping, and so on; golf,
bowling; dancing; outdoor cooking, whether in the back yard or deep
in the woods.
“In your own community, your recreation department, schools,
churches, community centers and social groups offer opportunities for
recreation,” the pamphlet “Fitness for Victory” points out. “Their
trained staffs will help you select those best suited to your needs. The
parks and countryside invite your use.”
With such a great variety of recreational facilities available to all,
everyone can participate in some outdoor activity that builds strength
and steadies worn nerves. And everyone should, for his own sake and
the nation’s.
It’s Carried Out With Garbage;
Shelved “In Interest Of Unity”
Remember that investigation of moving picture war propaganda
some isolationist senators rigged up last summer?
It was pretty big news for a while, but unless you read the papers
very closely you probably didn’t notice that it was carried out with the
garbage the other day. Senator D. Worth Clark, chairman of the
senate subcommittee which conducted the investigation, turned over the
transcript of its hearings to Chairman Wheeler of the interstate com-
merce committee witfr a recommendation that the whole matter be
shelved “in the interest of national unity.”
Tho recommendation undoubtedly will be accepted. No one connect-
ed with that sorry travesty on statesmanship would wish to remind
the public of it. In furtherance of their campaign against the admin-
istration’s foreign policy, a little group of isolationist senators on the
interstate commerce committee set out to prove that the motion picture
industry was fostering inervention in foreign wars by propaganda de-
signed to create among the people fear of foreign aggression. The isola-
tionist senators were convinced that this fear was quite unfounded.
They used a parliamentary subterfuge to get around their lack of
authority to conduct an investigation.
Japan’s attack acquitted the movie-makers of trying to create a
synthetic war scare. It may be out of harmony with the spirit of unity
to recall this incident, but it is worth remembering as an object lesson
in propaganda methods—though the exemplars are not the movie-
makers.—Galveston News.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
“Lovo” is the subject of the Les-
son-Sermon which will be read in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, February 1, 1942.
The Golden Text is: “We have
known nnd believed the love that
God hath to us. God is love; and
Ve that dwelleth in love dwelleth in
God, and God in him” (I John 4:10).
Among the citations which com-
prise tho Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “The Lord
thy God in the midst of thee is
mighty; he will save, he will re-
joice over thee with joy; he will
rest in his love, he will joy over
thee with singing” (Zephaniah
3:17).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, “Science
and Health with Key to the Script*-
ft
ures," by Mary Baker Eddy: “ ‘God
is Love.’ More than this we can-
not ask, higher we cannot look,
farther we cannot go” (page 6).
