ZAVALA COUNT! 8ENTWKL. CRYSTAL CITY, TEXAS. JULY 1«. 1M3
FOOD PRODUCTION MOVIE
COMING TO GUILD THEATRE
“Twenty Fighting Men” shows
Graphic need of more “Food for Vic-
tory.”
Farmers and food producers of
this community will find much “food
for thought” in the wartime Food
Production Movie—“Twenty Fight-
ing Men”—to be shown at 'he Guild
Theater, beginning Thursday July
22.
Produced in the interests of more
“Food for Vietoiy" by Purina Mills,
St. Louis, Mo. and brought to our lo-
cal theatre by Guyler Feed Store, Pu
rina Dealer “Twenty Fighting Men”
is a graphic presentation of the vital
need of additional food production
for our armed forces and allies.
The picture opens with dramatic
war shots taken from War Depart-
ment files showing how food has
been destroyed all over Europe, how
necessary food is to our armed forc-
es abroad, and how quickly farmers
have responded to the need for in-
creased wartime production.
Hero of the movie is a typical farm
boy home on le ; ve, who attends a
meeting of neighboring farmers and
recalls the important role which food
food captured a North African fort
without a shot fired or a life lost.
Based on his former experience on
an average U. S. farm, the soldier
proves that enough additional food
,can be produced on each farm
through better management, more
careful sanitation against disease
and parasites, and better feeding to
produce enough meat, milk and eggs
for twenty fighting men for one
year.
The picture ends with a strong ap-
peal from the soldier to his friends
to do their part in producing the food
for an extra “Twenty Fighting Men,"
for unless American farmers win
their battle of production at home,
he states, their sons and brothers
cannot win the battle abroad.
The storyt of “Twenty Fighting
Men” speaks to the patriotism and
good sense of American farmers thru
one of their own boys in uniform to
make every pound of feed do the
best possible job and to wage un-
ceasing war on waste, disease and
unnecessary production accidents.
The movie is a part of a “Food for
Victory" Crusade now being spon-
soerd hy Guvler Food Store, a fea-
ture of vhich is the free service of
Guylei Feed Store’s employees in as-
Isisting local farmers reach their war-
is playing in the war. He reel' ■; ,in’

the scenery running away from you,
and every time you turned your
head, there was that remarkable

“Physical examinations for the

officer, he just feels you. If you’re

Of all the trips your columnist has
made, three stand out because of the
means of transportation.
One occurred when I was a young
police reporter and stood on the
back step of a bouncing, swaying po-
lice patrol that was going 50 miles
an hour through city streets.
Another was in an auto-gyro, pi-
loted by Captain Yancey, who was j
eo-pilot on a plane that sp inned the
Atlantic in the days when success- j
ful flights across the ocean were so j
so rare that they were front-page
“streamer" material. An auto gyro j
has its propellor on top and this
queer-looking contrivance ‘takes off’ j
after going along the ground only a 1
few feet and it can come almost j
straight down.
Have you ever looked at a vulture
hanging motionless against a bril-
liant blue sky and wondered how it
would feel to stand still in mid-air?
Well, you can do that in an auto-
gyro.
We were over the business section
of Fort Worth when Captain Yan-
cey kicked it out of gear and there
we hung while we chatted—to be
more exact, he chatted; probably I
shattered, or at least my teeth did.
(The lifting force of the wooden
Hades overhead is sufficient to hold
the plane almost stockstill for a
while, then it starts casing toward
the ground unless the pilot puts it
back in gear).
**
And the third trip that was mem-
orable because of the method of
transportation was aboard a private
railroad car. Yes, sir, a journey on
a private car for a fellow who had
never known anything on the rails
more sumptious than the rather re-
stricted space of a berth.
There were three railroad officials
and a combination cook-valet-waiter
and porter aboard. It was an inspec-
tion journey over the Childress-
Pampa-line, which was practically
completed but not yet opened to
regular traffic, and this observer was
then a staff writer for the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.

Cultivate the Good Things . . . ^)—1/
Remember the true ilory of the Persian farmer who
•cun-lied the world for richea, only to Irarn that
“acres of diamonds” had been found on the farm he
had sold?
It’s much the same with diamonds of happiness.
You’ll find them in the little things that happen to
all of us every day ... in the relaxation that comes
after a job well done, in the sunshine that follows a
rain, in the visits of your friends, the affection of
your family and the pleasant comfort of your own
easy rhair.
Cullirat* the good things. Enjoy and treasure them
. . . and be sure to include among them the friendly
cheer and root refreshment of grand-lastin’ Grand

m More electricity is being produced and deliv-
M ered in the United Statei today by the Electric
Companiei under Business Management than tcat
ever produced in any nation at any time—far more
power than in all the Axis countries combined—
five times as much as this country had in the last war.
There is enough electric power today for all
mm essential civilian and war production needs.
Careful planning has provided a greater reserve ca-
pacity today than before Pearl Harbor. There is
every reason to believe that all demands will continue
to be met. (But don’t waste electricity, just because
it isn't rationed!)
9W This power is being produced more cheaply
(■P and efficiently than ever before. The average
price of household electricity today is only about
half of what it was 15 years ago—which means the
average household gets about twice as much elec-
tricity for the same amount of money.

SAVE ARE PROUD of
our industry’s war-
lime record—and proud that
the men and women of CPL
helped lo make it. It is their
work and planning, their
skill and experience, that
keep electricity available and
cheap at a lime when war has
made so many things scarce
and expensive.
And hack of this organiza-
tion is the American business
system — made up of thou-
sands of self-supporting, tax-
paying businesses that are
doing the world’s best war
job because they’re free to
do it—because they’re free
to use their American inge-
nuity in their own way.
