J. E. Montgomery, of the Ty-
nan community, observed his 80th

in Texas gathered with him and
Mrs. Montgomery to celebrate the
memorable occasion.
Mr. Montgomery was born in
San Marcos, Texas, in 1871. He
graduated from the old Coronal
Institute there in 1891. He lived
for a while in Caldwell County,
then moved with his family to

this area and throughout the
state.
He has served his community
in mafciy capacities. He was a

years, serving as president of the
board for most of that time. He
was a director of the Bank of
Tynan for several years, and
served as president of that organ-
ization for one term. He was
one of the organizers of the Tynan
Gin and served as ------
eight years and helped organize
the South Texas Cotton Coopera*
tive Association and served as
its president for 10 years. Mr.
Montgomery was also chairman
of the State Executive Committee
of the Farmers’ Union for two
3rears. He served on the Commit-
tee of the Texas State Farm Bu-
reau Federation for several years,
serving as State president for
two years.
Mr. Montgomery was selected
the outstanding farm leader of

and manager of the Farm Bureau
Co-operative Gins of Texas for
four years.
In 1937 he was called to Austin
to serve as Co-operative Supervis-

for 12 years. During that time he
helped organize over 500 coop-
eratives over the state including
frozen food lockers, gins, and co-
operative marketing associations.
Mr. Montgomery retired to his
farm at Tynan in 1948. He is still
a director and vice-president of

Mr. Montgomery has served as
a trustee and steward in the
Methodist Church for over 50
years. He is a member of the
Founders Club of the Southern
I Methodist University.
While Mr. Montgomery thor-
oughly enjoyed his public life,
he enjoys his private life even
more. All of his brothers and
sisters and four, of his five chil
dren live in T e x|a s a nd the
old Montgomery home in Tynan
is the scene of many happy fam-
ily reunions. Except for a few
weeks in the summer when he
holds open house at his family
camp in Wimberley, Mr. Mont-
gomery can be found at his farm
in Tynan driving his tractor or
taking care of his small herd of
Hereford cattle. He wants to get
everything ship-shape so that
when he begins to get old in 15
or 20 years, he can relax and
take it easy.

Used car dealers must file with
the district Office of Price Stabil-

ceiling prices. OPS Specialist
Arthur E. Boaz said.
The filing requirement is part

DECLARE WAR ON FLIES
NOW, SAYS HEALTH OFFICER
Millions of flies help to cause
illness and death of thousands of
children and adults each year in
the United States. Hundreds of
these casualties may be in Texas
this year if residents fail in their
responsibility for developing the
best possible sanitation measures
in the area where they reside.
Typhoid fever, summer complaint
and other intestinal disease can
be traced to the common house-
fly as the carrier of the infection.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, speaking in this connec-
tion, recently said, '“Be sure that
windows and doors are tightly
screened so that stray flies from
a careless neighbor will not en-
danger your family. Be sure that
flies are kept away from food,
drink and utensils used in the
preparation of food. Make sure,
if you live in rural districts, that
outside privy vaults are tightly
covered so as not to permit the
entrance of flies.
“Infections from this source
can be picked up and spread to
human beings through contact
with food, drink and utensils.
Keep all garbage covered until
collected or buried. Eliminate all
breeding places for flies and you
will be helping your communitv
in its work controlling communic-
able diseases and preventing un-
necessary illness.”
Now is the time to do away
with the winter’s accumulation of
trash. Clean up and stay clean is
a good slogan for communities
and individual citizens.
Marshall, in Harrison County,
was named for John Marshall,
former Chief Justice of the United

OPS Requires
Price and Goods
Statement Prepared
EDITOR’S NOTE: The date for
the preparation of these state-
ments was originally March 1.
Late last week, however, Guy P.
Allison, San Antonio district di-
rector for OPS announced that
the date had been extended to
March 22.
Businessmen must prepare im-
mediately, for their own use, a
complete merchandise statement
and ceiling price list on commo-
dities and services they sold or
offered for sale during the base
period Dec. 19 through Jan. 25.
Guy P. Allison, San Antonio
district director, Office of Price
Stabilization, explained the merch-
andise statement must show cate-
gories of commodities, including
models, types, styles and kinds,
with respective ceiling prices.
He explained that the O.P.S. of-
fice has no form for use in pre-
paring these records, that the
businessmen can use their own
choice of personal forms for this
purpose.
“These commodity statements
Sind ceiling price Psts will be es-
sential to the sellers to refer to
in pricing their merchandise in
the future and for possible later
inquiries by Office of Price Stab-
ilization authorities,” he said.
“They are to be preserved by
the sellers who are not required
to file them with the O.P.S.”
Arthur E. Boaz, district price
specialist, cited the price regula-
tion section requesting business-
men to prepare the ceiling price
list.
“Your ceiling price list must
show the commodities in each
category, listing each model, type
style and kind, or your services,
delivered or offered for delivery
by you during the base period.
“Your ceiling price list also
must _ give a description or ident-
ification of each such commodity
or service with your ceiling price
for each.
“Your ceiling price list may
refer to an attached price list or
catalogue.
“If you are a retailer, you can
prepare your ceiling price list
by recording on your purchase
invoices, covering the commodi-
ties, including every model, type,
style and kind, delivered or of-
fered for delivery by you during
the base period, the price at
which you sold or offered the
commodities for delivery during,
the base period.”
. Businessmen desiring informa-
tion pertaining to the price st.a'(il-
lation program are invited to
communicate with the San An-
tonio district office, 128-132 Sooth
Flores street.
“The San Antonio district OPS
office was opened Feb. 19.” / bi-
son said. “We will be opera1 in<T
for a time with a skeleton Caff
only, but we will do out* besf to
render the best possible service
to businessmen and the public
seeking information and advice
about the price stabilization pro-
gram.”
Charles A. Dana, famous editor
of the New York Sun, helped edu-
cate the public to want news.
Many early colonial printers and
editors conducted “general stores”
tn connection with their newspa-
per plants.
Sandia, in Jim Wells County*,
is derived from the Spanish word
for “watermelon.”
Bar dead by moonlight?
If there were 2000 moons in the sky, you could
read comfortably by their light! tm Tnn,' Because
2000 moons would give you a reading light equal
to ONE 100-watt bulb! /
Yes —that’s a lot of light from just one bulb —
and for so little money! You can use a 100-watt
bulb for two and one-half hours for just one
penny’s worth of electricity! That’s a sky-high
value at an earth-bound price! When you think
how many things electricity does for you — and
how little the cost—it is just about the biggest
bargain in your family budget! r c ‘
This bargain is possible because your friends
and neighbors in CPL combine their skill under
responsible business management.
