PROTECT YOUNG CHILDREN
AGAINST WINTER COMPLAINTS
Crystal City, Texas, Nov. 13, 1842
ZAVALA COUNTY GROWERS
CAN BOOST CASH INCOME
THROUGH GROUP MARKETING
Zavala County’s 316 farm oper-
ators can increase their cash income
as much as $90,000 a year on fruits,
nuts and vegetables alone Dy work-
ing with retailers in developing
group marketing programs, it h
been estimated by a leading distrib-
utor of Texas crops.
“With approximately 30 farmers in
this county and 20,000 farmers
throughout Texas using farm mar
keting cooperatives to streamline
distribution, the general trend to-
ward group action in marketing is
one of the most important agricul-
tural developments in the state,”
according to Earl R. French, mar-
keting director of A & P's produce-
buying affiliate, the Atlantic Com-
mission Company.
“Our experience shows that grow-
ers can boost their income 10 to 15
percent by working together to pro-
vide adequate volume and standard
grade and pack, and by working
with distributors to cut out unneces-
sary handling operations and costs.
This 10 to 15 percent would bring
approximately $60,000 to $90,000
extra annually on fruits, nuts and
vegetables alone to Zavala county
growers, who in one recent year re-
ceived $609,718 from their sales of
these products. Growers could simi-
larly increase their cash income from
other crops by group action in pre-
paring their products for market
and in completing the actual market-
ing job,” French explained.
AS an indication of the effective-
ness of cooperation between growers
and distributors, French said econo-
mies worked out through group mar-
keting programs were one important
factor helping to boost caf.h returns
to Texas growers and shippers 43
percent to $6,534,922 last year com-
pared to $4,582,528 in 1940 on fresh
fruits and vegetables sold through
the Atlantic Commission Company.
With wartime food supply condi-
tions emphasizing the need for shor-
tening commercial distances between
growers and consumers, group mar-
keting programs can aid not only the
“Food-for-Freedom” program but
also provide a vitally important key
to post-war farm prosperity, French
declared.
He pointed out that the groundwork
for building these programs is al-
ready well prepared in Texas, which
“group-markets” citrus fruits as well
as other fruits and vegetables and
livestock, grain, rice, wool and mo-
hair.

TEXAS AGGIES-WASHINGTON
The war emergency haa confront-
ed the American people once more
with the fact that the development
of physical fitness and morale of the
civilian population is essential to the
production of military personnel.
Our military leaders are discovering
that the first month of training must
be spent on improving physical
strength before the new soldier can
“take it” and enter into •tal army
life. We also realize that this is a
total war and that women will soon
be called on to help the same as men.
The Physical Fitness program is
taking the nation by storm. Every
school, grammar school through col-
lege, is entering into the program.
Backed by the U. S. Army, U. S.
Navy and the U. S. Public Health
Service, America has started build-
ing her youth.
In Texas, the Physical Fitness pro-
gram has been placed by Governor
Stevenson, in the Division of Health
and Emergency Medical Service un-
der Dr. Cox with D. K. Brace, Ph. D.,
of State University, general super-
visor.
The purpose of the Physical Fit-
ness Program is to encourage youth
and adults to reach immediately and
to maintain that condition of good
health, muscular and organic
strength, physical and mental vigor,
stamina and endurance that will pre-
pare them to function in civilian de-
fense or in the armed or industrial
service of the nation in our all-out
campaign for victory.
With all this in mind, SO girls at
the High School have “started the
ball rolling.” These two clubs are
the “Crystal Aces” and the Javelin-
ettes.”
Charters have -j^een gpten the
two clubs, their indivIdnSl pledges
have been signed, and work has
started on the physical side of the
program.
Each girl will receive a Physical
Fitness Certificate when she has
passed the 17 required standards set
up by the Army, Navy and Medical
Board.
THEY MUST:
Have a medical and dental exami-
nation.
Walk 3 miles in one hour.
Run 50 yards in 8 seconds.
Run and walk one mile in 10 min-
utes.
Do 3 pull-up (chinning) in succes
sion.
Standing broad jump of 5 feet, 6
inches.
Climb a rope 12 feet high.
Play 8 different team games, such
as soccor, speedball, baske ball, vol-
ley ball, etc.
Ride a bicycle 4 miles without
stopping.
There are 8 other standards equal
ly as strenuous.
The Physical Fitness Program is
good. We girls in Crystal High have
no desire to be “softies,” and we
truly think we are making better
citizens of ourselves.
These clubs are sponsored by the
girls physical education department
with Mrs. Mary Campbell as their
director.

In di(cuulng seasonal health ha-
zards for young children today, Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer,
stated that babies and young chil-
dren need as careful protection now
against winter complaints as they do
in hot summer weather against
“summer complaint.”
Influenza, tonsilitis, pneumonia,
bronchitis, and asthma are included
among those diseases which may be
dangerous winter illnesses among
young children since they affect the
respiratory or breathing system.
Such diseases as pneumonia may de-
velop from a neglected cold, they
may follow as an after-effect of
measles or whooping cough, or they
may occur suddenly and with very
little warning. These diseases of the
respiratory system are more preva-
lent in winter than in summer and

: much more difficult to combat
than digestive ailments such as sum-
mer complaint.
“These winter diseases are partic-
ularly dangerous to babies and
young children,” Dr. Cox stated.
‘Nearly all of them are spread thru
the secretions from the nose and
mouth. Children not in vigorous
health are naturally more s rsceptible
to these complaints and are the first
line of defense,” Dr. Cox cautioned,
‘is to strengthen the powers of re-
sistance against disease; the second
is to keep them under medical super-
vision, and the third is to make sure
they avoid contact with others who
have coughs, colds, or fevers.”

STATE GAME DEC. 5th
Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Barnes and
their little daughter of La Marque,
Texas were week end guests of his
mother, Mrs. N W. Barnes and fam-
ily.
Two cars of tomatoes were shipped
from Carrizo Springs during the
early part of the present week by A.
J. Tebbe & Son. This crop, however,
will not move from here in any great
volume because of the greatly de-
creased acreage from that of pre-
vious years.
The acreage in tomatoes is making
a heavy production, and growers are
said to be getting five cents per
pound at the packing shed. The crop
will this year perhaps pay off as
well, if not better, than most pro-
ducts raised here, as the present
prices are the equivalent of $100 per
ton and an acre is supposed to yield
several tons. Expenses in raising and
gathering vegetables are also higher
this season than for many years.
Up to Wednesday there had been
twenty carloads of peppers shipped
over the Missouri Pacific and quite
a tonnage had gone out by truck.

1. Just one battleship may have
electric tenerators to produce as
much as 180,000 kilowatts. This
power would supply the needs of a
city of 375,000.
9. Searchlights produce millions
of candlepower of light to aid la
detecting enemy ships and pianos,
and to guide Navy gunners to their
targets.
Trucks because of the rubber short-
age have not been so numerous as
formerly, yet enough of them are on
the road to still make them qualify
as major means of transportation.
There is a seeming lull in peppers
because the fields have now largely
been picked over, and the growers
are awaiting further matuiity in the
fruiting.
Carrot shipping will begin within
the ten days and will form the great-
er volume of shipping from here.
This crop will send out 2,000 or more
cars this season and shipments will
be continuous until next June.
It is estimated by buyers that the
citrus crop here will make about 100
carloads. The quality is said to be
excellent, the oranges raised here
having the reputation of being the
best in the State.—Carrizo Springs
Javelin.
8. More than 20 different opera-
tions are performed in bringing a
naval gun to bear on its target.
Electricity helps to co-ordinate
these operations.
4. When a battleship goes Into
action, electricity helps direct the
ship, operate the guns, and give the
orders. O.E. is building equipment
to do these jobs.

good citizen is to be a good soldier.

m. Saturday, December 5, in San An-
tonio’s Alamo Stadium, football fans
will have a rare opportunity to see
outstanding exponents of rival con-
ferences collide in one of the nation’s
major intersectional games.
It may very well be that the ca
pacity crowd expected ofr the Aggie
Washington State game will be view-
ing the Rose Bowl representative for
the Pacific Coast, because the pow-
erful Washington State Cougars now
are the leading eleven for the cov-
eted Rose Bowl place.
The December 5 game in Alamo
Stadium continues to shape up as a
national attention-getter, with both
the Aggies and the Cougars getting
firmly into their winning stride.
While Washington State trampled
Michigan State 25 to 1„ in an inter-
aectional game last Saturday, Texas
A It M marched over Southern
Methodist University with a 27 to
SO win.
Tickets can now be ordered by
mail for the Aggie-Washington-State
game. Checks should be mailed to
the Football Committee, San An-
tonio Chamber of Commerce, Insur-
ance Building, San Antonio.

Texas 4-H Club girls have collect-
ed enough scrap rubber for Seven
battleships, 72 twenty-eight - ton
tanks, with a tire for a bomber
thrown in, Onah Jacks, state girls’
club agent of the A. and M. College
Extension Service, announced in a
radio broadcast which opened Na-
tional 4-H Achievement Week on No-
vember 7.
In addition, 4-H members salvaged
enough steel for 738 light tanks and
enough waste paper to make more
than 391,000 cartons for anti-aircraft
shells. “With bonds and stamps you
have bought, Uncle Sam can buy
more than 700 machine guns with 10
rounds of ammunition each,” Miss
Jacks said in her radio talk ad-
dressed to nearly 38,000 club girls.
The state girls’ club leader said
that 4-H girls comprise a land army
over 26,000 strong, and they are “on
the job today—plowing, fathering
crops, caring for chickens or live-
stock, or doing other extra farm
work.” In their ranks also are about
eight and a half thousand lire fight
ers and 600 air raid wardens and
plane spotters.
Besides growing food for home use
all through the year, 4-H Club girls
have preserved enough food to sup-
ply 1,708 soldiers for a whole year.
And there are enough 4-H Club girls
who have studied first aid and home
nursing to supply each of those sol-
diers with two nurses each . . . ,
and there would be “more than 400
nurses left over,” Miss Jacks said.
Concerning the national obser-
vance she said, “Thia 4-H Achieve-
ment Week, is intended to give you
and others an opportunity to look
over your work—see where it’s good
and make it better. This week is
time to reset your sight an dto go
fit It again to do a finer Job for your
country and yourself than you’ve
ever done before."
