wives and babies will be able to
receive maternity and infant care

funds voted iby Congress. The pro-
gram is limited to wives and in-
fants of enlisted men in the four
lowest pay grades. Between July
1 and October 1, wives and infants

MAIL CHRISTMAS
PACKAGES NOW
The deadline for mailing Christ-
mas packages to soldiers overseas
is Oct. 15. The War Department
urges all who have not mailed
their packages to do so immediat-
iy.
ONE QUESTION QUIZ
Q. Why are point values set so
■high on canned pineapple, vacuum
packed Avhole kernel corn, tomato
catsup and other items.
A. OPA says that the pniut val-
ue of each item is figured on the
basis of its supply and the amount
that can be moved into consump-
tion from month to month with-
out draining th.e supply to oo low
a level. Any item wh;oh moves
faster than its schedule movement
is increased in point value If it
moves below schedule the p'int
value is lowered.
SYNTHETIC EIRE PRICES
Maximum prices for synthetic
rubber tires and tubes have been
established by OPA. In the main,
they are the same as ceiling prices
for corresonding tires and tubes
made from natural rubber.
ENDORSE GAS OUPONS
Motorists should endorse their
gasoline ration coupons immedi-
ately and not wait until they huv
gas. Holders of A, B, C. D and T
books are to write their^ license
number and state of registration
on face of all coupons. Holders of
E or R books are to write their
name and address on the face of
all coupons.
FDR dayd:
Payroll savings is
our greatest single
factor in protecting
ourselves against in-
flation.
farmers asked to
continue good farming
Produce more wheat but not at
the expense of sound farming was
the message sent to Texas’ 40,000
wheat farmers this week by B. F.
Vance, administrative officer of
the AAA of Texas.
Citing years of conservation
work in which farmers have re-
built their soils, he said they could
easily meet next year’s 5-million
acre goal while continuing sound
soil management.
“Through Avise land use Ave can
get a big A\heat crop next year
and be all set to come back Avith
another big crop the following
year,” he said.
He explained that although in-
creased Avheat acreage is being
called foi*, special importance
should he given to other Avar crops
such as flax, dry beans and peas,
potatoes and feed crops in areas
Avhere these crops are adapted.
Explaining A\hy increases in
Avheat are needed for 1944, Vance
said,that during the last 12 months
about one-third of lasit year’s crop
had been fed to livestock, that vhe
use of wheat for synthetic rubber
and explosives has increased to
150-million bushels per year, and
that additional millions of bushels
of Avheat Avill be needed to feed
Europe in the future.
Under the 1944 program, the
national Avheat acreage has been
increased to 68-million acres com-
pared to 54-million acres planted
this year. Texas farmers planted
3,416,674 (acres for harvest during
1943.
Legal aid, ranging from dravcdng
Avills to solving problems of insur-
ance, is being provided to soldiers.
At each of the legal assitance of-
fices, commissioned officers, who
are licensed attorneys, are on duty.

rial Tower. The latter

dent Grover Cleveland,
Since 1348 the Univer-

Now it is used by the

WAYLAND COLLEGE TO P-T A. TO MEET MONDAY
PLAN NEW BUILDINGS IN FIRST OF LOCAL UNIT
At a recent meeting of the board
of trustees of Wayland College,
PlainvieAV, a movement AVas set up
to erect six neAV buildings on the
campus. The cost of the project
will run $500,000 to, $750„000.
Dr. John W. Colbb, college dean,
Avas named as chairman o direct
the movement. J. P. Flake, Plain-
view, Avill act as chairman, and J.
LoAvell Ponder, Plainview, will
have charge of publicity. Others
named on the steering committee
Avere J. C. McKenzie, Amarillo;
P.C. McGahey, Albuquerque; Roy
Shahan, ’Snyder; A. F. Russell of
Paducah; and Lee Hemphill of

way in the near future, and com-
plete information as to plans will
be released in a short time.
The first unit to be erevcted will
be a dormitory for girls. The sec-
ond, a dormitory for hoys. Other
building contemplatjed include ai
Bilbleand Science building, a Fine
Arts building, a dh,apel-library,

LANDINGS ARE
GETTING TOUGHER
In a letter to a friend, vividly*
describing the American invasion;
of Italy at Salerno, Wm.. J. For-
sythe, Chidf Photographer’s mate,
U. S. C. .G., said: “These amphib-
ious landings are getting monoto-
nous in a ghastly sort of Avay.
They’re getting tougher as Ave go
along, and don’t let anybody kid
you that the United States isn’t
paying a price for such places as
Sicily and Salerno. Of course the
radio reports and neAvspaper head-
lines sound, very encouraging to
the folks back home, but there’s
a lot of American boys getting
killed, hut I suppose that’s the
price of Avar.’
SAVE ALL FATS
With millions of pounds of
Avaste fats still needed to meet war
damands, Paul C. Cabot, director
of WPB Salvage Division, recent-
ly urged housewives to remember
that even accumulated fats become
rancid, they still retain a majority
of the valuable glycerine that goes
into Avar production. Some house-
Avives, believing that rancid fats
are valueless, have not been turn-
ing them in for salvage. This has
resulted in the loss of thousands of
pounds of glycerine that could
have been processed fro these fats.
Social Security account cards are
not 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 of the card with the So-
cial Security Board.
More tha 10 million individual
Christmas parcels for overseas
sildiers are expected in the mailing
period, Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. The
Army Postal Service will need the
full cooperation of the mailing
public if packages are to feadh
sildiers in time. The public is ask-
ed to be sure to put the correct
overseas mailing address on the
packages and to wrap them secure-
ly, but in such a manner as to
permit inspection prior to their
dispatch. Every overseas package
must be opened, inspected, and re-
Avrapped at the port of embark-
ation. The Army Postal Stervice
and the U. S. Post Office Depart-
ment strongly urge that packages
be mailed Spt. 15 or immediately
thereafter.
Old-Age and Survivors Insur-
ance is not based on the 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.
The first meeting of the local
unit of the Parent-Teachers asso-
ciation will be held next (Monday

ABOUT 4-H CLUB
LIVESTOCK SALES
Livestock produced and sold un-
der the auspices of 4-H Clubs is
governed by the meat rationing
regulation the same as other live-
stock, according to OPA. This
means that the only persons Avho
may obtain custom slaughtered
meat point free are livestock pro-
ducers. However, OPA permits
such recognized boys’d an girls’
farm organizations as 4-H Clubs
to sell their livestock at a fair, ex-
hibition, or an animal show at
premium prices, as money from
such sales usually helps provide
educational funds for Club mem-
bers.
Eligibility for neAV passenger

ment tires for October is 59,800
