“Schools are open . . . Drive
safely,” that could be our slogan
to think about this week, and
the weeks to come. This could
save a life! Auto accidents...
the worst ones . . . are caused
by careless drivers. “That does-
n’t mean me,” you might say.
But you are wrong. Practically
all drivers are careless at some
time or other behind the wheel.
We don’t mean carefree, irre-
sponsible or drunk. Daytime ac-
cidents involving school age
children are seldom caused by
the kind of driver who should
be in jail. They are caused by
sober, responsible men and
women driving bright new cars
who allow their attention to
v/ander at the wrong time, take
their eyes off the road, or go
into a trance thinking about
something else, besides driving
their car. Those are the kind
of drivers who run down and kill
children. Decent, law-abiding
pedpic* who afterwards just can’t
remember how it happened.
People like you and me who get
careless just for a split second
... at the wrong time. Don’t
wreck your own life and the
lives of others. Don’t kill a
child. Be watchful and alert at
all times when driving. Keep
your eyes on the road and your
hands on the wheel every sec-
ond.
Noticed this classified ad re-
cently:-“Lauy v'ith Haile- wmfs
to meet man with car. Ooject,
to get hitched.”
Congratulations to the 1923
Study Club. For the sixth con-
secutive year the free chest X-
ray will be available here Oct.
13-15 to Cottle-King countians, j
15-years-of-age or older . . .
thanks to the 1923 Study Club,
sponsors of the project. The
chest X-ray survey has met with
splendid success the past five
years, and we know it will
again this fall.

Children need models more

Ever since we were a lad
down on the farm, cotton gins
have held an attraction for this
scribe, so Tuesday afternoon
during a short lull here at the
office, we visited the West Texas
gin which is located near-by.
Manager J. D. Hutchison took
time from his duties to show us
around and we watched the cot-
ton from the time it left the
trailer, until it was turned
into a 510 pound bale. Of
course we still don’t understand
all that “Hutch” told us, but
sure did enjoy it anyway.

Number work seems to give
young son, Larry, age 8, some
trouble, but the other day at
noon, Mrs. Prattler informed
Larry that he could not go out
to play until four hours had
passed, at which time it would
be cooler. Quick as a wink, Lar-
ry shot back that it would be
240 minutes before playtime.
What would happen to rural
areas if a critical world situa-
tion or actual attack should
force millions of city dwellers
to evacuate into the country-
side? This is one of the prob-
lems dealt with in the new or-
ganization course given by the
Federal Defense Administration
Staff College.
The course, first of its kind
in the world, is designed to face
the problems which have arisen
since FCDA began relying more
on evacuation than shelters to
protect city folks from bombing.
Tests with the H-bomb have
shown that shelters around
ground zero, would be smash-
ed by the more powerful hydro-
gen weapon.
If the city were forced to
move to the country, residents
of small towns and farms would
be outnumbered by evacuees an
average of three and four to
one. Without a functioning
civil defense organization to
handle these problems, this
flood of hungry, displaced per-
sons could create an impossible
problem for individual farmers
and townspeople. If they were
prepared and organized in a
rural civil defense unit, country
folks in the first hours during
and after an attack could main-
tain order in their localities, set
up temporary reception areas
and provide for mass feeding.
Mass chest X-ray will be held
here Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday, October 13-14-15, states
Phil Gauss, field representative
of Texas State Health Depart-
ment, Austin.
Meeting with committeemen
working on the project at Cottle
courthouse Friday at 10:30 a.m.,
Gauss sketched plans. X-rays
will be made from 1:00 to 5:30
p.m. opening day and from 8:30
a.m. until 5:30 p.m. the follow-
ing two.
Program still aims at cover-
ing the maximum number of
persons in a minimum of time,
Gauss said. He particularly em-
phasized how efforts should be
made to attract persons 55
years of age and older.
In this age group, Gauss said
the majority of the three di-
seases which X-rays uncover —
tuberculosis, lung cancer and
heart disease — are discovered.
These diseases must be dis-
covered in their early stages
for effective treatment. Para-
doxically, they are among that
rare group of ills which show
no early outward symptoms and
must be discovered by X-ray.
Gauss again mentioned that
all Texas citizens pay. for the
program through taxes. The
problem is to persuade them to
use the service for which they
pay.
Committees to handle de-
tails connected with the X-ray
survey have been appointed as
follows:
General chairman: Supt Al-
ton Farr.
Location: Price Sandlin.
Publicity: Mrs. P. E. Godfrey,
chairman; press, A1 Hinds; loud-
speaker, Jack Carr; loudspeak-
ing committee, Mrs. Dan Rich-
ards, Mrs. John H. Davis Jr., Mrs.

Committee Set Up
To Check Charity
Transient Cases
A clearing committee com-
posed of County Judge A. A.
Payne and Rev. Neal Stout has
been set up to take care of re-
lief for all destitute transients
who seek aid in Paducah.
The two were named in a
meeting of representatives of
the Ministerial Alliance, county
and state relief workers in Judge
Payne’s office at the courthouse
Saturday morning.
Some bums passing through
Paducah have managed dona-
tions from several groups or
persons and in doing so gained
a good sum. The new set up is
designed to halt this.
Transients asking alms of Pa-
ducahians should be sent to one
of these two men. They will use
Ministerial Alliance funds set
aside for that purpose in the
deserving cases.
Lions Club and Shriner co-
operation is also being solicited
by the organization for other
needed items such as old cloth-
ing.
Rev. Clyne Jones and Rev.
J. P. Stevenson hdad the Al-
liance’s committee on local re-
lief. Hitherto transients would
call on the Red Cross, county
I or Alliance for aid.
Attending the meeting were
Rev. Stout, president of the
Ministerial Alliance, Judge
Payne, Rev. Stevenson, Rev.
Jones, Mrs. Walter Franklin,
State Department of Public Wel-
fare worker, and Patrick Ben-
nett.

Committeemen Are
Named On Veterans
Land Program
In a meeting of the com-
missioners court, Monday, R. N.
Parks, R. J. Tucker and C. A.
Brooks were appointed Cottle
county’s committeemen to serve
on the Veterans Land Program.
Parks is chairman of the
committee. All three members
of the committee are land own-
ers.
The committee is to check the
financial ability of veterans
buying land under the program,
whether it is a bonafide pur-
chase and appraise the land.
The three were appointed by
the court at the request of the
Veterans Land Board and will
serve without pay .
Lambs Arrive
For 4-H Club
Feeder Projects
Five hundred head of lambs
for commercial 4-H feeder proj-
ects were delivered here last
,week for distribution to Cottle-
King 4-H Club members. The
lambs weighed from 60 - 65
pounds and were bought on the
San Angelo market at 16^
cents per pound. These lambs
will be fed around 90-100 days
and shipped to market some-
where around January 1, 1956.
With milo at $1.40 to $1.50
per cwt. and alfalfa hay around
$30 a ton, the lamb feeding
projects should realize a little
more profit per head this year
than in previous years, accord-
ing to County Agent Kirby Clay-
ton.
Another truck load of lambs
is now being made up and elub
members who are interested in
securing feeder lambs should
contact their county agent in
the near future. This truck load
is expected to be delivered
sometime before Sept. 25, Clay-
ton said.
200 BALES
PROCESSED BY
TOWN GINS
Cotton began to move to the
gins at a little faster pace this
week, as a check with Paducah’s
gins revealed 200 bales have
been processed from the current
crop, to date.
To the same time last week
only-35 bales had been process-
ed by town gins. With con-
tinued hot, dry weather, cotton
harvesting should see a con-
siderable upward trend within
the next week’s period.

Ross Bell Employed
In Office Of Tax
Assessor-Collector
Ross Bell has been employed
in the Cottle county tax assess-
or-collector office, announces
Sheriff Elmer Clark.
Bell and Lilly Edna Cruce
are preparing for the fall tax
and license plate rush. He went
to work Monday.
Cottle and King, farmers can
obtain loans from the Farmers.
Home Administration to finance
soil conservation practices on
land which has been diverted
from: crop production, Arrell
Cummings, county supervisor of-
the Farmers Home Administra-
tion, said today. Many farmers
are planning to use the former
crop land for permanent or
temporary pasture, he said.
Under Secretary True I>.
Morse has pointed out that in
many areas there is not enough:
land in hay and pasture to sup-
port the livestock now on farms,
especially the: all-time record
number of cattle. Cattle num-
bers this year in this country
total 95;4 million head which,
is more* than ever before. The
nation’s experience with drouth
in the- past three years has
demonstrated that most farmers
do not have enough pasture and
hay reserves to protect their
livestock operations, and the
threat of drouth is still with
us here in 1955> according to
Mr. Morse.. Good pastures and
high quality hay and forage
are essential hr. cutting live-
stock production cost and ex-
panding income from beef cat-
tle, dairy cows, sheep and hogs.
The new soil and water con-
servation loans which are avail-
able from Farmers Home Ad-
ministration may be used for
land leveling,, brush removal,
seed bed. preparation, purchase
of seed and; fertilizer, and for
all the other items that go
into establishment of good per-
manent pasture-
Credit is extended only to
farmers unable to obtain the
financing they need from other
sources. All applications are
approved by the local county
committee of the Farmers Home
Administration.
Applications are made at the
county office of the Farmers
Home Administration, which. Is
located in the courthouse in
Paducah.
Loans are made by the Farm-
ers Home Administration pri-
marily out of. funds advanced
by private lending institutions.
The government Insures the re-
payment of the loan. Practices
carried out with the loan must
be the type approved by the
Soil Conservation Service and
the Extension Service.

Farm Census Shows Many Changes In
Cottle County During Past Five Years
• •
A preliminary report of the
1954 Census of Agriculture for
Cottle county was released re-
cently by the Bureau of the
Census, Department of Com-
merce, and reveals a number of
changes as compared to 1950
and 1949.
While there were fewer farms
in the county in 1954 than 1950,
their average size is larger, with
more total acreage. There were
469 farms in the county in 1954
as compared to 568 in 1950. The
average size farm in 1954 was
1,150.1 acres while the 1950
average was 937.3 acres.
Value of land and buildings
per average farm in . 1954 was
$39,451. This is higher than
the 1950 average of $33,383.
The census also shows that
irrigated farming is picking up
in the county with 24 irrigated
farms reporting in 1954 as
against 0 in 1949. There were
1,722 irrigated acres in 1954 to
none in 1949.
The figures show that more
farmers are either living in
town or working off their farms.
Farm operators living on their
farms were 363 in 1954 while
there were 484 residing on their
places in 1950. There were 104
operators not living on their
farms in 1954 as against 8Q in
1950. Farmers living on their
place, but working off it, were
200 in 1954 to 174 in 1949. There
were 100 farmers reporting
other income of family exceed-
ing value of agricultural prod-
ucts sold in 1954 to 174 in 1949.
There was also a change in
size of farms. Farms from 10
to 500 acres were more in 1954
than in 1950, as were farms
from 500 to 1,000 acres.
Although there is no com-
parison to 1950 farms, farmers
in the county had 46 television
sets in 1954. Such items as
home freezers and grain com-
bines had a good increase over
1950.
Artificial ponds, reservoirs
and earth tanks numbered 695
on 240 farms reporting. There
was no comparison figures here
in 1950.
Economically speaking, the
farms suffered, a big drop in
1954 compared to 1950. Farms
selling $25,000 worth of prod-
ucts or more in 1954 were 15,
while there were 102 in 1950.
Farms with a $10,000 to $24,999
output were 94 in 1954 to 204
in 1950. These figures keep
the same ratio down to the
smaller operator where those of
the $2,500 and less production
class show an increase in num-
ber.
Horses and mules dropped
considerably as there were 748
in 1954 to 900 in 1950. Cattle
and calves showed an increase
as 19,690 were reported in 1954
to 19,287 in 1950. Hogs and
pigs had a big drop with only
1,067 in 1954 as compared to
1,687 in 1950. Sheep and lambs
jumped to 513 in 1954 as com-
pared to 191 in 1950.
Poultry-wise, turkeys had a
nice gain in the county while
chickens had a reverse trend.
There were 1,187 turkeys in
1954 to 226 in 1949. On the
other hand there were 2.700
chickens sold in 1954 compared
to 5,996 in 1950.
