Friends of ..the pioneers of this
section of Texas have been inter-
ested in the plan of Our Town
Studio to honor these pioneers by
photographing them for an exhi-
bit, free of charge. It is surpris-
ing to learn that about fifty of
these men and women who played
such, a large part in the develop-
ment of Texas will be honored in
this photographic exhibit. The
citizens of McGregor are happy to
see honor done to these splendid
people, many vigorous and
sturdy, a few feeble with the pass-
ing of the years.
Out of this honored group ten
or twelve unly are native Texans.
One or two have lived in McLen-
nan county all of their lives.
These will be the center of the ex-
hibit. This community, however,
is equally happy to pay tribute
to the remainder of these pioneers
most of whom have lived in Tex-
as from forty to sixty years. The
members of this latter group
'faere born in. the old South or in
Germany, coming to Texas in
childhood or early youth.
Mrs. Amsler, of the studio,
states that she will be ready to
have this exhibit and open house
the last of next week. The pub-
lic will be invited and cordially
urged to call.
These pioneers are the men and
women who have made our state,
county and town of (McGreglor
what it is today. They are de-
pending on McGregor people to
live up to their ideals. All honor
to our pioneers!

VACCINATION OF PUPILS
ATTENDING McGREGOR
SCHOOLS REQUIRED
Notice is hereby given that a
regulation of the McGregor pub-
lic schools requires that children
be vaccinated for smallpox be-
fore they attend school in Mc-

Lennan county have notified the
school authorities that danger
from smallpox is imminent and
that requirement of vaccination
is not unreasonable. Parents and

school age have been properly
vaccinated. Your cooperation in
this movement to safeguard our
schools from disease is requited.

ROOSEVELT WILL SPEED
DRIVE FOR RECOVERY
Washington.—President Roose-
velt, apparently highly confident
Congress would approve his new
recovery program said Tuesday
he expected to devote most of the
next fortnight to preparations for
getting the campaign started
quickly ivhen the appropriations
are granted.
In jocular mood, he advised re-
porters at his semi-weekly press
conference not to be surprised if
the next two weeks saw a long
string of people going in and out
Of his office. He intends to con-
fer, he said, with Harry Hop-
kins, director of WPA; officials
of the National Youth Adminis-
tration, the Civilian Conserva-
tion Corps and others both in and
•out of official life.
The President’s program calls
for $4,500,000,000 to be expended
or lent for work relief, piublic
works, flood control, highways
and the like, or advanced to
business enterprises which need
capital for job-creating expan-
sion.
Two minor features of Roose-
velt’s proposals received favor-
able congressional action Tues-
day, the House approving an ap-
propriation of $100,000,000 for
road construction and the Senate
$50,000,000 for the CCC. Both
items were in addition to regu-
lar budget proposals. The CCC
appropriation now goes to the
White House, while the roads bill
goes to the Senate.

FROM GRASSHOPPER
Farmers in this section of the
county where extensive damage
was done to crops by grasshop-
pers last year are warned to be
ready for heavier infestation this
season as a result of a survey
conducted by W. J. Spicer, area
supervisor of grasshopper con-
trol, and Assistant County Agent
IT. II. Weatherby.
The inspection revealed grass-
hoppers already batching in the
China Springs, Golson, Patton
communities and in the section
west of Harrison along the Braz-
os river.
Poison for the pests will be
furnished farmers in areas where
the are heaviest free of charge,
and Weatherbf urges an early
campaign in stamping them out.
Infestation from other crop de-
stroyers was also expected to be
heavy but Weatherby said it was
too early to make definite fore-
cast.

ing North Texas Agricultural
College, Arlington was at home

COTTON ALLOTMENTS
ARE INCREASED BY
AAA AMENDMENTS
College Station.—Amendments
to the new farm act provide a re-
serve of 4 percent which will be
added to the cotton acreage al-
lotment of each state and that
farm cotton allotments in neces-
sary cases shall be raised to a min-
imum level, according to Geo.
Slaughter, Wharton, chairman •of
the Texas Agricultural Conserva-
tion Committee.
The total increase in allotments
due to the amendments may ex-
ceed 2 million acres, he said. The
original acreage allotment for
1938 was 26,3000,000 acres. In
Texas the additional allotment
will amount to around 380,000
acres.
The 4 percent reserve will be
used to assure minimum allot-
ments to small cotton farms, pro-
vide additional acreages for farms
on which allotments were mater-
ially reduced because of an un-
usually large number of small
farms in the county, and to pro-
vide representative allotments to
counties or farms which other-
wise would ; receive allotments
which are low in comparison with
the amounts alloted to producers
in similar areas and in compari-
son with their usual cot‘ton acre-
ages.
The amendments also provide^
that if the allotment to any farm
is less than 50 percent of the sum
of the 1937 cotton acreage plus
diverted acres, the allotment shall
be increased to 50 percent, pro-
vided that the increase does not
bring the allotment up to more
than 40 percent of the tilled land
on the farm.
