Nation, So Quotas Will Be
Set Again
Erath county fanners, by a vote
of 464 to 384, Saturday rejected
the AAA’s proposed cotton mark-
eting quotas for 1939, although the
eelction earned by more than 80, cra get next week's eainon in
per cent over the nation as a whole, | the mails early so that all sub-
as far as the cotton question was scribers can read the advertisers’
reach this office not later than
Tuesday in order that sufficient
time may be allowed employees
to prepare the copy for publica-
tion beiore the final four pages
of the paper are run through the
press.
It is the desire of the publish-
ers to get next week’s edition in
concerned. Rice and tobacco grow
ers failed to vote the necessary
majority, according to early re-
turns, for quotas next year govern-
ing the marketing of these pro-
ducts.
Sam Hanover, assistant in cot-
ton adjustment, said AAA officials
were somewhat surprised by the
negative vote in this county, since
farmers here are receiving approx-
imately a quarter of a million dol-
lars for compliance with all phases
of «the AAA program this year.
Due to heavy carry-overs, the quo-
tas also tend to boost prices high-
er than they otherwise would be.
The vote was close in all Erath
boxes, but Alexander and Duffau
were the only twq of the eight
boxes in which the cotton plan car-
ried, and in these boxes farmers
favoring the quotas outnumbered
the opposition by only eight votes
in each of the two boxes. When
final returns were tabulated, the
“No” voters led by 80 ballots in
Erath county. Many growers did
not vote.
Eight Voting Boxes
L. C. Cline, Dublin, chairman; J.
L. Killian. Morgan Mill, and W. C.
Duncan, Clairette, composing the
county agricultural conservation
commitee, had charge of arrange-
ments for the election, while the
-county, committeemen actually con-
ducted the balloting, which was
done according to the six AAA
districts in the county. Polls were
opened from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.
Results from each of the. eight
voting boxes in the county were ___
announced Monday by Hanover as, modern’
ea|d the
messages and the news stories in
plenty of time to take advantage
of special Christmas bargains of-
fered by the various stores in
Stephenville for the last-minute
holiday shopping visits.
Community correspondents
should mail their weekly letters
on Monday; otherwise these let-
ters more than likely will be too
late to appear in. the forthcom-
ing issue of the paper. Other copy
also should be contributed as
early as possible, since fokr pages
are run off at a time and every-
thing cannot be crowded into the
last four pages that are printed.
Cooperation of all in complying
with this request will be apprec-
iated.

tor of the local church. Rev. W. H.

to invite all the ex-governors,

Balance Books Perfectly
Wanda Reinheimer and Maxine
Sublett of Stephenville, students
in the business administration de-
partment at John Tarleton College,
have just balanced perfectly a set
of books of a mercantile establish-
ment This ia one of the require-
ments made by Professor Edgar
of the business administration de-
partment before a student is given
a grade of “satisfactory.” The set
of books calls for the recording of
all business transactions of the
1 mercantile company for a period
of one month. At the end of the
period an inventory is made, the
profit and loss determined, and the
books balanced. “For a beginning
student this is quite an accomplish-
ment,” said Professor Edgar, “and
calls for a great amount of time
and study.” .
T.C.U. Band Stopped
Two chartered buses, carrying
the T. C. U. Band of Fort Worth,
made a brief stop here Friday
morning while en route to Coleman
where they were to play, a con-
cert. An effort previously had been
made by the local Chamber of Com-
merce to hav« the band stpp here
long enough to play a few num-
bers but the limited time available
prevented the organisation from
doing so. Paul Claunch, former T.
C. U. Band member, renewed ac-
quaintance with his ex-classmates
during the brief visit.

per cent
Once again Stephenville and
Erath county citizens had an op-
portunity of seeing a body of Unit-
ed States y Array troops pass
through last Friday, when a de-
tachment of the 18th Field Artil-
lery from Fort Sill. Okla.. return-
ing home from Fort Sam Houston,
San Antonio, traversed the county
last Friday morning.
The unit, .composed of 186 men,
244 animals, 12 equipment trucks
and several army wagons, was in
command of Capt. H. W. Brem-
mer. Col. C. P. George, however,
is in command at Fort Sill. Lieut.
Hayden was among the advance
officers who were m Stephenville
the day before to make arrange-
ments for the troops’ visit here
and for their stay at the Stephen-
ville State Park, where they camp-
ed Friday night.
Preceding the mounted soldiers
were the army trucks, which pass-
ed through Stephenville at 9 a. m.
Friday, followed by the mounted
troops one hour later. The detach-
ment arrived at tile camp site,
formerly known as Gamer *Park
and located 10 miles north of the
city on Highway 66, about 12:30
o’clock and had lunch.
Left Early for Miner ah Wells
As was the usual custom on the
trip, the troops arose at 4 a. m.
Saturday and. after breakfast had
been eaten and equipment loaded
into the trucks, departed for Min-
eral Wells, where they camped
Saturday night at Camp Wolters.
They continued north Sunday
morning by way of Jacksboro.
Officers stated that 14 days were
allowed for completion of the trip
from San Antonio to Fort Sill,
Okla., with 36 miles being an av-
erage day’s travel. The detach
ment was sent to San Antonio to
return the army horses to Fort
Sill.
Arising at 2 a. m. Friday the
mounted troops left Hico for Ste-
phenville because, officers stated,
the Stephenville State Park offered
the best camping sitq they had
found yet on the trip and they
were anxious to reaclr it
Numerous visitors viewed the
troops as they went through Ste-
phenville, and at the camp site
Friday afternoon; also at other
places along their route through
the county.

United States Congressman Clyde
L. Garrett, Eastland, was the prin-
cipal speaker at a luncheon given
by the NYA project house girls to
the local visiting Lions Club and
other guests Wednesday.
The 17th District Congressman
said that his visit Wednesday was
one of the first chances he had to
actually view one of the National
Youth Administration girls’ pro-
ject houses in operation. He was
well pleased with the local project,
he said, and declared that he be-
lieved it one of the best relief pro-
jects the government wa^sponsor-
ing at the present time.
J. J. Pickle, area project super-
intendent of the NYA, outlined
what the girls were required to
do, pointing out that the girls se-
lected were operating a coopera-
tive house in which they are given
tiie opportunity to be better home-
makers and to learn the principles
of economic management of the
home.
Half of Salary for Upkeep
These girls, Pickle said, were
paid 818 by the federal govern-
ment for remaining at the house
two weeks and receiving this spec-
ial training. Of this 818, half of it
is returned to the project house
fund to carry on its operations.
The 89, Pickle said, paid all the
bills—groceries, untilities, chairs,
paint and everything else listed on
the project budget. Each month
thsre are 80 worthy girls who re-
ceive two weeks’ training. 16 be-
ing in the house two weeks at a
time. The project ia to continue, he
stated, definitely until June, and as
much longer as it can be obtained.
Mrs. Jno. Clark, houae project
superintendent, was introduced and
gave a special welcome address to
the Lions Club and the other vis-
itors, Which included L. W. Phil-
lips, postmaster, Wra. Sensing, sec-
retary-manager of the local Cham-
ber of Commerce, and Weichsel
Baxley, who took some photos of
the croup.
The Christmas motif was car-
ried out in all decorations. One of
the girls played Santa Claus to
the guests, presenting them with
special gifts from the festive Christ-
Baby Daughter Born
Cards have been received here
announcing the birth of a five-
pound daughter to Mr. and Mrs.
W. E. Brown of San Francisco,
California. The baby, a daughter
who has been named Barbara Alice
Brown, was born Wednesday No-
vember 16, at a San Francisco ______________________ ^
hospital. Mrs. Brown was formerly be’^iven to'some other needy faoa-
Stephenville civic clubs and in-
dividuals again are preparing to
provide Christmas baskets far the
needy families in this vicinity. The
Chamber of Commerce has a list
of these families and William
Sansing, secretary-manager, states
that about 100 namea have been
placed on the list. ...
A number of inquiries have been
made about such a list and Sansing
announces that anyone desiring to
provide a basket telephone the
Chamber of Commerce and either
ask for the name of a needy fam-
ily, or tell the office for whom the
basket is intended. The Chamber
of Commerce will see that all bas-
kets left there are delivered, pro-
vided it is definitely known wh»t
family is to receive each one of
them.
The local Lions Club and the
South Side Garden Club already
have signified intentions of giving
Christmas baskets to needy famil-
ies this year. Other civic organiza-
tions and charitably inclined citi-
zens also will help out. It ia pre-
sumed that the churches of the
city likewise will give baskets since
this has been the annual custom
here for years.
All Should Notify Office
, Sansing said, however, that ev-
eryone taking care of a needy fam-
ily should notify the office, since
preparations might be made for a
club or some individual to give a
basket to the same family. In a
case of this kind, where the office
is not notified of such action, a
family will receive two basket#
whereas one of these baskets could
the guests. A rousing vote of
thanks was given the girls by the
Lions Club at the conclusion of
the program, held during the reg-
ular weekly luncheon date of tne
organisation.
Students Discuss Medicine
Mary Jane Anderson, Tommy
Gordbn. Robert Heaton, Helen Jane
King, H. L. Phillips, and Phil Tay-
lor, all of Stephenville, who are
pre-medical students at John Tar-
leton College, recently discussed
before a meeting of the Pre-Med
Club “The Problem of the Sociali-
zation of Medicine.” Over forty
pre-med students attended the
meeting, entering'into the round
table discussion. This is one of
several vital questions pertaining
to the profession of medicine that
has been brought before the club
for its views.
Build Bedroom Suit#
Sidney Whitman and Leland Kay
of Stephenville, who are students
at John Tarleton College, will have
at least one beautiful Christmas
present to give someone—if they
choose to give it away. They have
just completed in the wood shop
at Tarleton a bed room suite of
solid walnut. Whitman and Kay
are two among more than a hun-
dred students who are taking this
special hobby course. Co-eds at
Tarleton recently voted thia one of
the moat valuable counts offered
for boya—“because it teaches them
how to make things for the home.”
REA Loans for Comaitch#
An allotment of 8178,000 was
made Dec. 6 to the Comanche Coun-
ty Electric Cooperative Associa-
tion, with Comanche as headquar-
ters and R. E. Seay as president,
to build about 200 miles of rural
linos to serve 696 members in both
Comanche and Eastland counties.
Comanche county also has some
lines to be built>by the Enth and
Hamilton county cooperatives, but
the Comanche coupty grant will
cover the biggest portion of the
county where the lines arp»to be
constructed.
<
ily that might not get any at all
unless all who donate baskets noti-
fy the Chamber of Commerce of
tne fact in order that the name of
the family to receive the basket
may be taken oc the list.
Still other movements are un-
der way to provide for the needy
this Christmas. For instance, the'
Majestic Theatre will give a bene-
fit picture show Saturday morning
for underprivileged children in this
community, the proceeds either to
be in the form of the regular
box office admittance price of 26c
for adults, or toys, canned goods,
clothing or other useful articles
which will be accepted at the door
by old St. Nick himself.
Each year the citizens of Steph-
enville cooperate in seeing that
needy families in this vicinity are
provided with Christmas baskets
filled with groceries and other ne-
cessities of life. Every effort ia
made to prevent any family from
being overlooked. If someone la
left out this Christmas, it will be
an oversight — not intentional—
provided the same cooperation ia
shown this season that has here-
tofore been the case in Stephen-
ville.
