interspersed between the other en-
K- tries to add true old Southwestern
Texas "color”. -

cial out-of-county section, Frontier

County Trucks
To Haul Trash
Tomorrow
County trucks will pick-up all
trash in Rocksprings, tomorrow,
and property owners are urged to
take advantage of this last go-
around to get the city clean. This
is a part of the Clean-up Cam-
paign that is sponsored jointly by
the Good Neighbor Garden Club
and Chamber of Commerce.
Committeemen have been work-
ing for several days getting in
touch with people to get their
trash ready for the hauling day.
Trash should be placed at the
front or side of the property line,
where the trucks can pick it up.
To get as much done as the
day will allow, please telephone
or see A. E. Brown or Mrs. Wal-
ter Thurman and list your place
with them. This way, you will be
sure that all your debris will be
picked up.
Remember, this is the last go-
around for the trucks during the
Spring Clean-up. Tomorrow, Satur-
day May 19 is the day.
The next phase of the program
will deal with sanitation-sewage
systems, drains, etc. But right
now, let’s concentrate on removing
ALL the-trash; old cars, junk of
any kind, dead limbs, tin cans,
unused barrels, unsightly fences.
Coming up will be the painting-
up and fixing-up project. Every-
one finds that when they clean
up their place there is always a
certain amount of repair and paint-
ing that needs to be done.
Be sure to call the committee
to list your place if you want
trash hauled.

Cattle Grubs
Could Be On
The Way Out
College Staton, Tex.—Livestock
producers got good and bad cattle
grub news when the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture announced that
for the first time the common
cattle grub, experimentally, had
been prevented from developing
within cattle.
The chemical, designated for ex-
perimental purposes as Dow ET-57,
is systemic. It moves, through the
bodies of cattle to destroy grubs
wherever they may occur in the
animal's flesh. Research is currently
in progress to determine the suit-
ability of ET-57 in terms of grub
control, toxic effects on the ani-
mals and chemical residues in milk
or flesh.
The man responsible for re-
search with ET-57 are entomolo-
gists G. W. Eddy and A. R. Roth
of the ARS laboratory at Corvallis,
Ore., and W. S. McGregor and R.
C. Bushland of the Service's Kerr-
ville, Texas, Station. Veterinarian
R. D. Radeleff, also at Kerrville,
has carried on research to deter-
mine toxicity of ET-57.
Cattle grubs cost the livestock
industry an estimated $100 million
a year in losses to meat, milk and
damaged hides. The pest is cur-
rently controlled by the use of the
insecticide rotenone. However, i(
goes into effect only after the grub
has spent some 7 months develop-
ing as a parasite within the body
of the animal.
ET-57 is not the first. systemic
to control cattle grubs but is the
first to prevent their emergence. In
the Kerrville tests last year* the
systemic was fed to grub infested
cattle at the rate of 100 milligrams
per kilogram of animal weight (a
1,000 pound animal would receive
1.6 ounces). Treatment was made 2
to 5 months before grubs normally
appear in the backs of cattle. Only
one grub appeared in the backs of
four out of five treated • cattle
while 98 grubs appeared in the
backs of five similar but' untreat-
ed cattle. At Corvallis it was 88
percent effective in preventing
grub development.

Selective Service
Board Member
Resigns
My resignation, effective immed-
iately, as Edwards County mem-
ber of the Selective Service Board
No. 110, Sonora, Texas, has been
sent to the Selective Service Dir-
ector, Austin, Texas. I have tried,
to the best of my ability, to faith-
fully and impartially perform the
duties of this appointment. Mr.
Joe Logan, Sonora, Chairman of
the Board, and myself up to the
present time have remained the
only original members of the Board
since it was put into operation in
1948. The other three counties
represented in Board 110 have had
that many different members since
the Board was organized. I feel
that Edwards County has eligible
men who should be given the op-
portunity to serve in this capacity,
therefore I have asked to be re-
lieved of this duty.
I sincerely ask your cooperation
with the new board member, who-
ever he might be. In passing I
would like to make a few remarks.
Please remember the law, the rules
and regulations under which the
Selective Service Board No. 110
operates ARE NOT made in Son-
ora by the board members. The
law comes to the board from the
National offices through the state
Selective Service Headquarters at
Austin. THE LAW IS EVER
CHANGING. Many times the
Board has felt the law unjust and
unfair but we had no choice. The
files MUST be set-up according to
the law to meet the approval of
the periodic visits of the inspector
sent out from Austin. Rules and
regulations we operated under
several years ago are obsolete to-
day regulations, we operated under
six months ago have been changed
and the present requirements will
perhaps be changed in another six
months or so. The Board and the
Secretary of the Board stand ready I
and willing to answer your ciller-
ies to the best of their knowledge.
The records of the registrants ARE
NO T available to anyone except j
Selective Service personnel AND
THE REGISTRANT, so please
don't a>k to see them, the law j
does not permit. It is not the i
duty of the hoard members to see
that college students have filed
their 109 forms and written their i
letter asking college deferment a-
required of second year students.!
The student and those concerned j
should be interested enough to see
that these papers are in order.
Many times the board member-
have taken of their time to see
that negligent students filed their
papers to keep the records in or-
der.
As you know this is a "thank
you" job. The only compensation
the board member receives is mile-
age to and from Sonora AND the
cooperation and understanding of
the public. It is my sincere wish
that you make the tenure of office
of my successor a pleasant one.

OLDSTERS LICENSES
Austin, Tex.—Texans 65 years of
age or older, who were exempted
from state fishing license require-
ments by the last Legislature, do
NOT need a regular exempt fish-
ing license, according to the Chief
Lii;ense Clerk fo» the Game and
Fish Commission.
He said there has been niarty in-
quiries about the angling require-
ments particularly since persons'in
that age bracket DO need an ex-
empt license for big game hunting.
The latter requirement was ef-
fective since deer must be taigged
to qualify for legal possession.
