GRANDPA POTEET IN A
CRITICAL CONDITION AT
HIS HOME, HERE
M. W. Poteet, aged and honored
citizen of this city, (has been in a
critical condition at his home for
several days. A familiar figure in
our town for many years, friends
have been much concerned over
his illness. But little hopes are en-
tertained for his recovery because
of his advanced age and serious
condition.
REV. DON DAVIDSON IN
FORT WORTH HOSPITAL
From the Lubbock Avelan’che:
Lt. (j.g.) J. R. Bertrand, who
graduated from Texais Technologi-
cal college with an agriculture de-
gree in 1940 and a master of
science in agricultural economics
in 1941, is now serving on a sub-
marine Somewhere in i/he South
Pacific. In a recent letter to Dean
A. H. Leidighi of the Tech division
of agriculture, Lt. Bertrand said:
“All goes well with me as usual.
Fortunately enough is continually
happening to us that time never
drags on our hands. Fortunately,
too, we are able to intersperse our
periods of excitement with two
weeks of badly needed rest
periods. Happened to be at the
right place at the right time re-
cently—resulted in a Silver Star.
Lucky, cause it liked to have been
purple.” Bertrand’s home is at
White Deer and be is the son of
Mrs. Eugenia Bertrand and is a
graduate of White Deer High
School.

..ANDMOTHER’S WAR BONDS FOR GRANDCHILDREN’S FUTUR E
That is the slogan at Minneapolis public library, where employees
are putting it into practice by turning old, worn out books into the
waste paper campaign. Here Arthur Tennison cuts old books in half
before adding them to the scrap pile. If you have old books at home
which are worn beyond reading usefulness, get them into the fight.
Paper from any and every source must be obtained to overcome
the serious shortage. Remember, when you throw away waste paper,
you may be throwing away some boy’s chance for life! Blood
plasma, food, ammunition are shipped in cartons made from re-
processed waste paper. Start saving now!

TEXAS OIL PAYS ONE-
FOURTH OF OPERATING
COST OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Taxes paid by the Texas oil in-
dustry meet the cost of educating
one out of every four school chil-
dren in Texas.
Total cost of operating the
State’s public schools in 1943 was
$96,086,675, of which the petro-
leum industry paid $22,421,262 in
direct taxes, not including the gas-
oline tax, xvjhtich is paid by the
motorist but collected, for the gov-
ernment iby the oil industry.
The are numerous independent
school districts in which oil is pay-
ing the bulk of the taxesi—in two
instances ,a full 90 per cent last
year; and in 14 others (including
one entire county), oil paid more
than 80 per cent.
Where oil foots the chief part
of tlhe school hill, the expense per
pupil runs mndh higher than in the
State as a whole. Taking 10 such
districts (including one entire
county) the average per pupil was
average of $64.30, which—by the
way—was an increase of $2.88
over the preceding year. The oil
industry also aided in retiring out-
standing bonds in the school dis-
tricts, and in one instance, oil’s
(part of the cost was slightly over
$64 per student!.
Even if a county does not have
oil production within its borders,
its school ehildre nbenefit from the
school taxes paid by Texas oil for,
out of the Stae apportionment of
$37,356,675 in 1943, almost: $10,-
000,000 was paid by oil and, of the
$8,300,000 for rural aid, $2,075,000
came from the oil industry.
