The Merry Hearts entertained the
Seniors last Friday night at the fair-
grounds pavilion. Fried chicken in
capital letters, and trimmings, pleas-
ed the appetites of some thirty young-
sters. Dancing took up the time after
the meal.

• The Senors caps and gowns are
here and have been turned over to the
members of the class. We have made a
departure from the tradition again, in
that the girls will wear white this
year. The boys will wear blue, as of
last year.
Senior invitations are in the mailst
mostly. The whole world will know
soon that we have a fine graduating
class. There is probably no thrill to
come to a boy or girl that can take
the place of addressing and mailing
their own graduation invitations.
The VICTORY CONCERT was a
grand success. The program as pre-
sented by the Music pupils of the
Grade Schools was a credit to Rock-
•springs and Miss Tate, the teacher.
Every youngster seemed to put all he
had into putting the program over.
They knew their songs and parts well.
Praise from the audience has been la-
vished, almost. We certainly can salute
the boys and girls for tbeir nice enter-
tainment. The cause was worthwhile,
too. Admission being the purchase of a
defense bond or stamp, something over
1300.00 was raised for the War Efford.
There were several tennis matches
played last week and this in the school
tournament, but since the different
divisions fu*e not complete we shall
wait fcntil next week and make a re-
port on all results.

Directors of the Texas Angora
Goat Raisers’ Association meeting
here voted to confine the annual asso-
ciation show and sale to two days—
August 5 and 6—this year rather than
the three-day affair as has been the
custom in the past. The directors also
employed Nelson Johnson, San An-
gelo, as auctioneer.
The show will be held in Rock-
springs on Thuqsday, August 5 with
the judging to be in the morning, con-
tinuing until 3 o’clock in the afternoon
when the animals will be classified for
the auction to start at 10 o’clock Fri-
day and continuing throughout the
day.
The directors also made a number of.
minor changes in the rules and regu-
lations governing the show and sale
and discussed proposals of the ORA
to put a ceiling price on chevon car-
cases.
The price ceiling matter was first
brought up at the morning session'by
Judge Bob Davis of Uvalde who said
he had been called to San Antonio
with reference to the ceiling price mat-
ter. It was understood that packers
had asked for a 20-cent per pound
ceiling while the OPA was reported to
have proposed a 13-cent top.
Ralph Stewart, San Angelo, secre-
tary of the association, was authorized
to prepare -the premium list similar to
- -V—• ----- ------- -to
lists used In the pest but the prize
money this year is not to be as great
as in previous years. W. S. Orr, Rock-
springs, is chairman of the show com-
mittee.
Orr said at the meeting, it was like-
ly that Seaton Prentice, Junction and
Armor Earwood, Sonora, would judge
C type goats, with Bob Davis, Uval-
de and Glenn Briggs, Del Rio, serv-
ing as judges of B type animals.
A committee from the Rocksprings
Chamber of Commerce met with the
the directors and made plans for the
entertainment features to be held in
conjunction with this year’s program.
The rodeo, usually held here each year,
is not to be staged this year but other
forms of entertainment are to be pro-
vided.
The directors were guests of the
chamber of commerce at a luncheon in
the Balentine Hotel.
Marvin Skaggs, Junction, president
of the association, presided at both the
morning and afternoon sessions.
Directors attending the meeting
were: Skaggs, Stewart, Judge Davis,
Orr, C. A. Pepper, San Antonio;
Briggs, M. A. and O. O. Cowsert,
Rocksprings; M. D. Taylor, . Vance;
T. C. Hampton, L. A. Clark, Rock-
springs; Joe B. Ross, Sonora; and
G. A. Bonner, Leakey. Mrs. Claudine
Hampton who operates the office of
the A. A. G. B. A. in Rocksprings,
also was present.

Warehouses Give

KERRVILLE. — The government
wool purchase program presents many
difficulties, Texas warehousemen ag-
reed at their meeting here Friday with
government officials, but perhaps the
mast immediate pressing problem for
them concerns the hardship imposed
on warehousemen who are forced by
the program to continue their opera-
tions for as little as half a cent per
pound commission while performing
for' the Commodity Credit Corpora-
tion many additional services not nec-
essary under former conditions.
Warehousemen are held, by OPA
rules, to the same charges as they col-
lected from growers last year.
However, under the wool purchase
program, they are compelled by the
Commodity Credit Corporation, if they
become approved handlers of wool for
that agency, to perform extra and ex-
pensive services, '•they pointed out.
Almost all the warehousemen in
Texas attended the meeting. Many of
them last year received only one-half
cent per pound for storing wool in-
definitely. If they are held to this
charge under the government pro-
gram, they will be forced to operate
at-a I099 or to cease operating, they
declared.
