COZY PROGRAM
FOR THE WEEK
“IT AIN’T HAY
Abbott and Costello strain, opening
the week’s program at the Cosy, Wed-
nesday night. There is furious fun
throughout, and plenty of entertain-
ment, a charge that ever holds against
these two comedians. Lou Costello
appears as a kind-hearted cab driver
but gets mixed up into money mat-
ters and the story carriep on after
beginning at New York and running
over to Saratoga. Things happen
with such continuance of incidents
that the audience is kept ih a watch-
ing and laughing fun.

“Hangmen Also Die”
Melodrama for Friday night; pro-
tector of the Czechs known as Rich-
ard Heydrick is murdered and action
comes quickly. The story has been
elaborately produced, according to
preview critics, the identity of the
assassin is immediately apparent, but
the drama lies in the necessity of
shielding him from the conquerers.
There is some very clever acting
throughout, acting that calls for real
show of courage; as the play pro-
gresses the culprit who plays both
sides gets his deal.

“Hoppy Serves A Writ”
The inevitable stagecoach is em-
ployed to fashion later developments
in the episode of the Hopalong bunch,
scheduled for Saturday night. Ban-
dits, absconding with the loot, cross
the Texas border into Oklahoma
where they operate a large cattle
rustling combine. One of the bunch
runs afoul of the suspicious outlaws
and is held captive, but is rescued
later by the sheriff and his aide.
Later a vicious gun deal is staged
and the outlaws are captured. Noth-
ing lags, exciting throughout.

“He Hired The Boss”
Family comedy for Sunday night;
story is the old one of the worm that
turns; so completely in this instance
that he is able at the end to hire his
own boss. Fulfilling his duties as a
citizen he is saving to marry the girl
at the next desk, and then the storm
breaks. Serious becomes the situation
of the two but, adding to the color
of the plot, the land purchased by the
worm turns out to contain bauxite,
and is worth $100,000. The worm
gets into money and the story closes.
• • •
“My Friend Flicka”
“My Friend Flicka”—billed for next
Monday and Tuesday nights—will
remind the audience of the old story
of “Black Beauty”, most popular fic-
tion of decades since. In this offer-
ing we have the story of a horse and
of the peopfe whose lives are influ-
enced by the animal. The picture is
a thing of beauty; there is no hurry-
ing, no striving for the dramatic, and
the appeal is directly to the plain
emotions which respond to a display
of wholesomeness as found in plain
people.

What you Rtuf. With
WAR BONDS
Battle of the Atlantic
A sinking smokestack, a great air
bubble, an empty lifeboat, all that
is visible of a torpedoed tanker, all
that is evident of the hard work, the
savings we put into War Bonds to
, build this tanker, to load it with
50,000 gallons of high octane gas.
~ Our money is still safe but the
tanker is lost forever. Another and
another and another must be built
to take its place.
The men who sail the seas are
giving their lives to win the Battle
of the Atlantic. We are asked only
to lend our money.

JEWISH COUNCIL SPONSORS
DRIVE FOR OLD GAMES
AND OLD JEWELRY
The Tri-County section of the Na-
tional Council of Jewish Women will
sponsor a drive for the collection of
games and old costume jewelry.
Appeals have come from various
hospitals for games, such as cards,
dominoes, checkers, cross-word puz-
zles and many others that would be
interesting to convalescing boys.
The jewelry will be used by the
armed forces in the South Pacific to
secure natives for such duties as
guides, stretcher bearers and many
other ways that will be of aid to the
boys in the service. The government
has authorized service men to barter
with natives for their services.
Anyone who has games or jewelry
to donate for these two important
causes is asked to leave them at Lau-
terstein’s Store. All donations will
be greatjy appreciated.

THE ARMY NEEDS YOUR TURKEYS
Dear Turkey Producers:
The army has pledged that all of our armed forces overseas
will have turkey for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year.
About 10 million pounds are needed for this purpose.
The army needs two million pounds now and has an urgent
request that all turkeys available be listed for processing. It is
a real opportunity for us to provide our armed forces with a tra-
ditional holiday meat. If anyone deserves turkey on Thanksgiv-
ing it is our fighting forces. We must not let them down, and we
wont. Here is what I wish you would do:
1. List how many turkeys (old and young) you can sell by
September 1.
2. How many turkeys you will have for sale later.
3. Where is the nearest processing plant to you.
The Government will pay ceiling prices for your turkeys.
Return this card today and list every possible turkey you
can for immediate delivery even though many may not be com-
pletely finished at the present time.
This is your opportunity to serve our fighting men—see that
they have these turkeys.
Contact your neighbors also.

Rates To Consumers Soon
To Be Reduced-LC.R.A.
\ -
Austin, Aug. 18.—In contrast to higher costs of living on
most items for the householder in these war-times, the Lower
Colorado River Authority last week announced a reduction rates
paid by electrical consumers in eight towns yrhich it operates.
Rates for the towns which the Authority continues to op-
erate directly will be cut from 10 to 15 per cent, depending upon
the economic ability of the individual towns to stand the reduc-
tions, the Authority’s board of directors announced.
The rate reductions will be applicable in Lampasas, Llano,
Burnet, San Saba, San Marcos, Kerrville, Lometa and Flatonia.
Several thousand customers will be involved in the reduc-
tions and there will be a subtsantial amount of money involved
annually. The exact reductions in the towns and the amounts of
money involved will be announced as soon as complete studies
can be finished, Max Starcke, general manager of the Authority
said. ‘ •
The minimum cut, however, according to the action of the
board of director^, will be 10 per cent and the maxlimum 15
per cent.
When the new reductions are placed in effect, the rates will
have been reduced more than half of what they were before the
properties were acquired by the LCRA and will be lower than
TV A rates.
