R. R. CORDER
O. C. FISHER OF SAN ANGELO
IS CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
O. C. Fisher, native of the 21st
Congressional District, having been
reared in Kimble County, and widely
experienced in public service over the
San Angelo country, who bn Decem-
ber 4th announced he would be a can-
didate for Congress from this district
in the 1942 election, was in Rocksprings
on Tuesday of this week meeting
friends and making new acquainten-
ances.
Mr. Fisher, now 51st District At-
torney at San Angelo, earlier held the
offices of Tom Green CountgrAttorney
and 91st State Representative.
In- his announcement, the attorney
emphasized that:
“Today the tide of international
vandalism and piracy, which during
the past two years has crushed and
enslaved 16 liberty-loving nations of
Europe, has' now challenged America
and America is now meeting that chal-
O. C. FISHER
lenge with a unity of action that can
but eventually lead to - victory. Per-
sonally, I am now and have consis-
tently been, both before and since war
declarations solidly behind the Roose-
velt foreign policy.”
The district is now served by C. L.
South of Coleman, who was a leading
opponent of the Administration’s fight
in November for revision of the Neu-
trality Act.
Mr. Fisher, son of Jobe Fisher,
pioneer Kimble County stock farmer
who is one of the few surviving cow-
boys who went up the Chisholm Trail,
was born on the Fisher place near
Junction 38 years ago, ond of ten
children.
He attended Texas and Baylor Uni-
versities, and granduated from Baylor
Law School. 1
Mr. Fisher has climbed
service ladder, step by step, and as an
indication of the esteem held for him
by those who know him best, it is
pointed out in the San An&elo Stand-
ard-Times that in all $Hs contests there
he has carried his home county of Tom
Green by majorities of more than two-
to-one.
Mr. Fisher has for several months
been, on the Speakers Bureau for the
21st Congressional Ditrict in behalf of
sale of Defense Bonds, and has been
quite active in connection with that
service.

MUST BE CAREFUL TO KEEP
RECORDS
A CARD OF THANKS
Employers, both new and old, were
reminded in a statement issued today
by F. J. McCarthy, Jr., manager of the
San Antonio Social Security Board
field office, that their responsibilities
in connection with the keeping of
wage records, recording of social se-
curity account numbers, and reporting
theese facts to the collector of internal
revenue when the time comes for
filing their quarterly reports have not
been changed in any way whatever as
a result of the Unitel States being
placed on a war basis.
Employers covered by the law are
also required to give their employees
receipts for the money taken out of
their wages for old-age and survivors’
insurance taxes, according to Mc-
Carthy, who explained that, while
older employers were no doubt
familiar with this requirement, those
who have recently engaged in business
may not be.
It was poinetd out by McCarthy
that the law specifically stipulates that
the employer must furnish a statement
“suitable for letention by the eir
ployee.” He added that the law pro-
vides a $5.00 penalty for each wilful
violation of this provision. In addition
to the amount of tax deducted, the re-
ceipt must show the name of the em-
ployer , the name of the employee, the
period during this period.
Employers are required to furnish
such receipts at least once a year and
may furnish them oftener if they so
desire. The receipt must be given to
the employee within two months after
the end of the period which it covers,
and,in any case, when the employee
leaves the job.
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to our many friends who spoke
words of comfort and expressions of
love, and assisted in any way, in our
sad hour of bereavment. May God
bless you.

Interesting Letter
From the Journal
The Amerknn Angora Goat Breed-
er’s Association received a very intre-
esting communication from the publi-
shers of the Angora Jouruil, Portland,
Oregon, and among other things, this
journal pointed out that it was the
only medium in the United States rep-
resenting the Angora goat industry ex-
clusively, and made a plea that the
association use its influence in bring-
ing to it an advertising clientile that
will guarantee a just return on the
subscription list it now has acquired
ranging somewhere in the 3,000 class.
Like other publications, the Journal
has had considerable advertising can-
celed during the month just past, and
it would appear that more contracts
will be withdrawn in the near future,
if government activities took drastic
steps toward eliminating civilian trade
in several divisions.
The publisher of the Journal, if we
mistake not, has never visited this,
the capital of the Angora goat section
of the world, and this lack of contact
with the goatmen of the southwest sec-
tions may be caused from lack of ad-
vertising patronage, which would not
permit expenditures other than that
necessary in actual production and
mailing of the Journal.
In cases of this kind we have noted
that large circulations are of little
benefit to the publisher, for he is bur-
dened with expenses the increased cir-
culation necessitates, and unless his
advertising clientile is remunerative to
the extent that he be allowed to trav-
el over the country, take care of neces-
sary expenses, and work up a paying
advertising patronage, then his circu-
lation is in fact, a detriment, rather
than a help.
A class magazine, or publication,
must have a paying advertising pat-
ronage in order that it may acquire and
maintain a large circulation, and in or-
der that th»s may be done,'thert it is
absolutely necessary that much money
be spent in travel and other expenses
in acquiring wholesome news releases
of benefit to the industry and advertis-
ing contracts that will guarantee the
publisher a just return on his invest-
ment and labor spent.
In other words, it takes money in
reserve to contact prospective advertis-
ers in a magazine the same as it takes
money to stock a vast range after the
land has been acquired.
We heard several breeders say at
the meeting that it was their intention
to do some advertising in the Journal,
yet had not been approached on this
subject.
It may be that the reason these
men have not been approached is simp-
ly tied to the fact that this class pub-
lication has not made enough money
from its advertising clientile to stand
the expense of sending a representa-
tive in this section to contact prospec-
tive . advertising.
When a publisher is making say one
dollar, it does not behoove that pub-
lisher to spend two dollars in an effort
to secure possibly a five dollar con-
g|f|tJor advertising. *
