Halliburton Company Deserves
Thanks For Work In Matagorda
The Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company, with C.ulf Coast
headquarters in Houston, deserves a plug for its work in storm-stricken
Matagorda.
After the storm, Halliburton put his equipment to work washing
silt from the recently inundated houses.
Three inches of silt was deposited in the Matagorda houses. Halli-
burton’s crew washed out the silt with a battery of cementing trucks and
acidizing tanks at work. Every house in Matagorda was cleaned.
The acidizing truck holds 1,500 gallons. Fresh water was hauled
in the trucks and wagons, and sprayed over the floors.
The work was extended to Matagorda without cost to the house-
holders.
All Loss Due To Strikes Caused
By Deliberate Decision Of Few Men
Westbrook Pegler observes:
A strike is a deliberate and,
nowadays, an unnecessary and inex-
cusable interruption of work in war task. In each case some individual
or small committee has the top responsibility for saying that a certain
number of men and women shall quit work and that nobody else, how-
ever willing to work, shall be allowed to keep the war tools coming
off the line. .
At any rate, although some percentage of time-loss due to accidents
may be preventable, all loss due to strikes of all kinds is caused by de-
liberate decision of men who could be held responsible, but never are,
and this phase is seldom acknowledged at all by the government and
then only be minimized.

HOME ON THE MOON
By John E. Shea, of Palacios
Avita, Avita fair,
I love you, that I declare:
■ Will you a lunatic be,
1 And live on the MOON with me?
I ll be a lunatic, Hugh,
Ami live on the MOON with you:
’Twill he a honeymoon rare,
When together we get there.
The man on the MOON is dead,
j His cow jumpt over and fled:
So we’ll be all alone there,
But never a lonesome pair,
i We’ll climb the moonbeams by day.
; To view the planets’ array,
I And guess their number and size,
Just like astronomers wise.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
ORDER OF WORSHIP:
Morning:—
Sunday School—9:45 A. M,
Preaching Hour—11:00 A. M.
Sermon Subject:—“God’s Testing
Ground.’*
Evening:—
B. T. U.—6:30 P. M.
Preaching Hour—7:30 P. M.
Sermon Subject—“The Triumph'
of Faith.**
But, if the F. B. I. finds only that he is a loyal American, as we
think he is and will continue to say he is until proven guilty, then we
demand that the so-called National Federation of Constitutional Liber-
ties be abolished and everyone responsible for the organization, operat-
ing under the guise of a patriotic title, be punished according to the
lnws of our country.
In passing, we feel only fair to let our readers know that on this
federation board are a negro warbler, a union labor leader, and an
eccentric writer of fiction.
There is a group
Constitutional Liberties.
«or *hf.
But we do know that they have accused Martin Dies, popular Texas
congressman and chairman of the House committee to investigate sub-
ver&ive activities, of aiding and assisting Axis agents.
The Associated Press reported that this group has asked that the
T. B. I. probe Dies’ activities.
We’re sure Mr. Dies will welcome an F. B. I. probe. If the evidence
proves Mr. Dies guilty, as this group of questionable motives asserts,
we demand that he be punished.
Everyone Must Play His Part
In Financing This War—Buy Bonds
In a recent interview. James J. Hunter, president of the Bank of
California, advised the American people to live frugally and save their
money through the purchase of War Bonds. No better advice can be
given at this crucial period of our national evistence.
At the present time, American business in many fields is exerting
itself to the utmost to sell both Bonds and Stamps. The work of the
banks and of retail stores has been especially noteworthy. Through ad-
vertising, displays, posters and other publicity methods they have told
the War Savings story to tens of millions of Americans. The banks
are the leaders in the sale of Bonds—and retail stores, including chains
and independents alike, are the leaders in the sale of Stamps.
As a result of such efforts, War Savings purchases have reached
very high levels—in July alone, which marked the start of the “Retail-
ers for Victory" Bond and Stamp drive, sales were in excess of $901*,-
000,000. But there must be further substantia] increases in public
purchasing before Treasury—established goals will be attained.
Every one must play his part in financing this war. When you shop
in a store, take all or part of your change in Stamps. When you visii
a bank on pay day, buy a Bond.
A PRAYER FOR OUR BOYS
By Mrs. W. N. Wilson
Of West Columbia
You sent them to us. Lord, when
they were so very small,.
Now they are in your care since
they’ve grown so brave and
tall;
We guided their baby footsteps, we
watched their boyhood, too,
Now we can’t be with them so we
are trusting them to you.
We know our country needs them,
but how hard to see them go.
Just how hard it is, Lord, no one
but you can know;
If you have priority in Heaven as
in this world today,
It must be given to the Mothers
who daily to you pray.
For you can understand, Lord, just
how hard it can be,
To give up a son, Lord, to set this
old world free;
You made this world, Lord, and it
still belongs to you,
Some people don’t believe it, but
surely must be true.
ALL SET
FOR SCHOOL
^Jhey?
Off they go! New books ... new
clothes... but what about eyesight
protection? Eighty-seven per cent of
all that children learn they absorb through their eyes. Their ability to fill
useful jobs and win advancement in later life depends to a large extent
upon their eyesight. So don’t take a chance. Give your children the ad-
vantage of good light for easier seeing when they play or study at home.
Good light means better grades now and better jobs later.
Two Ways to Assure Better Light fur Home Study
Jimmy s eyes will relax when you put an
I. E. S. Study Lamp with 100-watt bulb on his
tuble. Its white glass diffusing bowl sifts out
harmful glare. Its wide, white-lined shade
spreads soft, generous light evenly over a
broad area. Why not let us send one out for
a free trial today?
When Jimmy and Mary study at the dining
room table, you can help them sail through
their work with a plastic adaptor equipped
with a 150-watt bulb. Easy to install, it screws
into existing socket like an ordinary light
bulb. Provides abundant eye-easy light, yet
costs surprisingly little.
Food Is Being*
Shipped To
Coast Area
Special To The Herald
AUSTIN, Sept. 10.—Food is be-
ing shipped to the Gulf Coast de-
vastated area from Houston and
San Antonio Commodity distribu-
tion warehouses by the State De-
partment of Public Welfare, J. S.
Murchison, executive director an-
nounced today.
Welfare officials, unable to estab-
lish communication with stricken
areas by wire, were dispatched to
the territory late Sunday with
blanket instructions to place the
full resources of the welfare de-
partment at the disposal of the
storm victims.
Hardest hit towns were Seadrift,
Port O’Connor, and Port Lavaca in
Calhoun county; Palacios in Mata-
gorda county; and Refugio. Around
700 families were reported home-
less in Roekport, Aransas county,
and in need of central feeding ar-
rangements, which will be set up if
necessary.
Regular procedure will be follow-
ed by the welfare department for
the most part throughout the area,
which includes San Patricio, Aran-
sas, Refugio, Calhoun, Victoria,
Jackson and Majagorda Counties,
and the families, placed in need by
the hurricane, will be added to the
rolls as eligible for food and cloth-
ing.
E. Daniel Williams of Corpus
Christi writes:
“It seems there has been a move
to discredit Martin Dies and the
authority of our legislative- bodies,
which took on mammoth propor-
tions in recent elections throughout
the nation.
“We found the New York left-
wing pinko sheets, boldly called
American papers, outwardly de-
manding the purging of certain
representatives who do not follow
the point of their fingers.
“Martin Dies was foremost on
the list to be smeared and purged
by these stiff-bosomed, never-work
cocktail and highball experts of
New York City. It is extremely
gratifying to all true Americans
to have witnessed the defeat of
these anti-democracy purgers in
every primary held in many states.”

Do Your Bit to Keep It Lit—The
’orch of Liberty!
The other day, in our mail, we re-
ceived a clipped editorial from the
San Antonio Express. The person
who sent it to us simply signed
himself—or herself—“A Herald
Reader” with this note: “Worthy of
your attention."
Following is the editorial:
PEOPLE CAN DO SOMETHING
When the people make up their
minds to support that which they
believe is right and show that be-
lief by voice and vote they can over-
come any force or combination that
sets out to ignore or to override
their wishes. Witness how quickly
public sentiment in San Antonio
forced cancellation of a noise-mak-
ing, game-ridden carnival’s con-
tract to operate in one of the city’s
most beautiful parks. Witness how
the veteran Texas Congressman
Joseph Mansfield, opposed because
labor spokesmen demanded his de-
feat, was renominated by a two-to-
one vote. Witness how Texas voters
resented the slurs against a Sena-
tor who never has hesitated to say
and to vote for what he believed
right, and renominated him in spite
of New Deal determination to de-
feat him. Witness how delegates to
New York’s Democratic convention
believed keeping their word was a
moral obligation and snowed under
the candidate for governor who had
a White House seal of approval.
People who make a little effort to
stand behind and work for what
they believe is right can do wonders.

Striker These Times Creates
Same Havoc As Nazi Saboteur
The people have listened to a lot of pledges by the heads of union
labor that there would be no more strikes. Yet every day new strikes
delay war production.
The excuse given by labor leaders for these stoppages of work,
is that the strikes are “unauthorized.” But the fact remains that war
production is tied up and that when the men go back to work they
are not disciplined in any manner by their own organizations which
calmly accept their “unauthorized” obstruction of the war effort.
A striker in these times creates havoc the same as a saboteur who
lands on our shores from a German U-boat. The purpose of both is to
hamper production at a critical time. Fathers, mothers, wives, brothers
und sisters whose menfolks are in the armed forces waiting for supplies
on which their lives may depend, are fed up with the striker who enjoys
the privilege of staying at home, drawing high wages, working veason-
able hours, and getting time off, while their boys risk their lives to
protect the strikers themselves from the dangers which the armed forces
face.
Following the War Between the States, the radicals in control of
the government at Washington sought to set up a “new order” in the
South, but they were halted by a supreme court that had respect for the
Constitution of the United States,
This is a loaf in American history that ought not to be forgotten,
lest an attempt to revive that “new order” be made,
