A MODERN DESTROYER uses
more than 3,000 gallons of oil
an hour at top speed.
' Old-Age and Survivors Insur-
ance is not based on tlie amount
of taxes paid by the worker and
his employer. Benefits are figured
entirely on the amount of wages
credited to the wage earner’s so-
cial security account.
Social Security account cards are
mot supposed to be used for iden-
tification purposes. By accepting
them as such has proved costly to
‘,-a good many merchants, hotels,
business men and bankers. They
.are for the purpose of identifying
the old-age insurance account of
the owner mf the card with the So-
cial Security Board.
Not every worker who dies is
covered by’ the Federal Old-Age
and Survivqrs Insurance law, ev-
en though taxes have been deduc-
ted from his wages and. taxes have
been paid by his emloyer. Consult
the nearest office of the Social Se-
curity Board for detailed informa-
tion.
ORDER PUEL NOW
With War Price and Rationing
Boards rapidly completing the
task of renewing consumers’ heat-
ing oil rations OPA is urging the
householders to place orders im-
mediately to give both consumers
and dealers plenty of time during
warm weather to get a supply of
heating oil and other fuels in home
storage.

ANOTHER MAY RECEIVE
NURSE’S TRAINING
The Nurses Scholarship commit-
tee of the Carson County Federa-
tion of Women’s Clubs announce
they have raised sufficient funds
to send another girl to nurses’
training. ' Any girl interested in
starting in the September class,
please get in touch with Mrs. J. C.
McCollough, Panhandle.
MORE NURSES NEEDED
Many American hospitals can-
net maintain normal standards of
service today because of the lack
of nurses, according to reports
made to the U. !S. Public Health
Service of the Federal Security
Agency. A year from now America
wijl need 359,000 nurses—or 100,-
000 more 'than are now available.
Of this number 66,000 will be
needed for military service and
293,000 for civilians. Because of
limted facilities, the maximum
that can be trained within^ this
period is 65,000.
A revised scale for payments to
farmers under the 1943 Agricul-
Conservation Program has
set up by WFA to adjust a-
vailable funds to the increased
number of eligible farmers. The
revised rates (with the former
rates in parentheses) are: cotton,
■one cent per pound (1.1 cents);
-corn, 3 cents per bushel (3.6 cts);
-and wheat, 8.5 cents per bushel
(9.2 Cts). Rates remain unchanged
for rice and tobacco.

Supt. Chester Strickland attend-
ed ,a meeting last week in Amarillo
where Mr. Dawson of-the National
.Education Association was princi-
pal participant in the round table
discusson of Federal Support of
Education. There were some 20
school people of the Panhandle in
attendance.
An intensiye effort is being made
to secure Federal suport for edu-
cation by the school leaders of the
country. Recent statistics coming
from ’the army and navy are a-
larming with reference to the need
of additional support. Nearly 700,
000 adults in Texas have less than
a fourth grade education. Para lei 1-
in this fact, over 1,000 schools in
Texas are forced to close this year,
because the districts can not pay
the necessary salaries to obtain
teachers.
Last year there were 190,000
new teachers with 13,000 jobs nev-
er filled, and with 17,000 jobs clos-
up. There were 37,000 teachers
who were teaching without proper
qualifications, many with only an
eight grade education. No doubt
the condition will be equallly as
'ha dthis year.
Senate Bill 637, which is being
sponsored, by school people will
appropriate $300,000,000 to be us-
ed by the States to assist the dis-
tricts. Texas will receive about
$18,000,000. This will be an in-j
crease of 23 per cent in the school
revenue of this state, claim the
sponsors of the bill, who are ask-
ing expressions from ‘the people on
the proposition.

County health officials, the de-
cision' Avas that too many recent
cases of infantile paralysis make
it Avise to postpone the services.
Regular Sunday services \vill be
'held Avith the request that children
be kept at home. Remember that it
is hardly fair to feel that public
■services (be called off for protec-
tion and then alloAv your children
to spend their time in toAvn or in
any other group meetings.
This move may not be needed
for protection, but it is evident
that public senltiment is strong^ a-
gainst public gatherings Avhich
AArould make it hard to have suc-
cessful services. We say that, so
that you may not fall prey to all
the “hear say” about polio.
There is no cause for undue a-
larin, but Ave do need ‘to be clean
and careful.
An announcement as to the time
the meeting Avill be held will be
made as soon a,s the community
calendar is checked and further ar-
rangements made.
