OBSERVER’S NOTES
The city observer gets his chance
occasionally to note a few facts and
irregularities round-about town; his
notes for last week are:
As usual, the town went complete-
ly “dry’’ Saturday evening. Dry is
correct, even soda pop was “sold out.”
Several local townspeople “popping
off” about how much they could pick.
Cotton is plentiful, and to the aston-
ishment of the writer, one Leon Gart-
ner proved his remark, he picked
over 400 lbs. in one day. It’s a fact!
Gasoline stations have gone dry.
Gasoline, cut down to three gallons
for each coupon, caused many local
people to have their car tanks filled.

Mrs. Richard A. Jecmenek, at the

bena and Mr. and Mrs. John F. Or-
sak. These improvements in our re-

LIFE’S VALUE
(Texas State Police)
What is the value of a human life
lost in a traffic accident?
That value cannot Jbe measured,
State Police Director Homer Garrison
said recently, but the potential pro-
ductivity can be measured.
In one year’s time, the 539 persons
who were killed in Texas accidents in
the first six months of this year could
have assembled 471 torpedo bombers.
They could have produced more
than five times as much of the life-
saving sulfa drugs ns all the armed
force* of the United Nations need.
They could have prepared 116,423,-
784 cans of Army ration.
They could have cared for a flock
of 784,950 hens, which in a year
would produce 13,000,000 dozen eggs.

USED FURNITURE
USED RADIOS - USED BICYCLES
USED REFRIGERATORS
USED FURNITURE
USED STOVES
There is a Big Demand Now For All
Types of Used Household Applian-
ces and Furniture
THE REASONS:
Diminishing supply of new mer-
chandise due to cuts in manufactur-
ing quotas because of defense priori-
ty of materials. Many will not wait
for new goods and are in the market
for used articles to fill their immedi-
ate needs.
Higher prices on new merchandise
are making the used items more at-
tractive to buyers. Many, rather than
pay increased prices, are purchasing
used items.
THINGS IN GENERAL
(Continued from page 4)
(Continued from page four)
to create an ‘alleged’ sugar shortage,
in order to employ more 'bureaucrats’
to ration the artificially created short-
age.
He said that gasoline rationing in
Texas, where motor fuel is plentiful,
is just an example of Washington
bureaucrats craving power to ‘regi-
ment and rule.’ Among the other ar-
tificially created shortages, O’Daniel
charged, are cottonseed meal and
cake, iron (because the government
refused to sponsor a project at Rusk
to smelt East Texas iron ore), and
labor.
‘Our farmers know that the so-
called labor shortage is the result of
our politically-minded bureaucratic
government pampering and petting
the laSor racketeers’, he said, ‘and
permitting them to put three men on
I most every job where two men could
do the job better.’
Vote Getting Move
The BIG demand that always comes
in the Summer for used stoves, ra-
dios, carpets, furniture, etc.
If you hive any used furniture or
appliances you have not sold because
you felt it wasn’t worth the bother,
or you couldn’t get enough out of it,
NOW is the time to sell it.

Pampering of labor is a vote-get-
ting move, O'Daniel said, and the
‘dynasty’ expects to get the labor
vote in 1944.
O’Daniel concluded his address with
the significant remark that he has
been ‘requested by thousands of good
people from all over the nation to
lead off in a fight against the Wash-
ington politicians on a national
scale’.”—(News Item, The Houston
Post, Houston, Texas.)
