The Texan’s Share in the War
The wives of two of Texas most
famous fighting men have called
on the people of the Lone Star
state to support the National War
Fund campaign which opened in
every Texas county and commun-
ity this week.
They were Mrs. Dwight D. Eis-
enhowei’, wife of the supreme Al-
lied commander in Europe, and
Mrs. Chester W. Nimitz, wife of
the Texas Naval Commander
whose fleets are blasting the Japs
in the Pacific.
There is little doubt that the
people of Texas will respond to
the call, for this state has sent
snore than its share of soldiers
and. saiilors to war, and Texans
everywhere are anxious to give
them every possible home-front
support.
But more than wishes will be re-
quired if the Texas campaign for
approximately $5,000,000 is to go
over the top. Thousands of volun-
teer leaders and campaign work-
ers are giving their time to the
drive, and every man, Woman and
ehild in Texas must join in the
effort it it is to succeed.
War fund dollars go to the sup-
port of our own fighting men and
their allies, and to alleviate suf-
fering among war victims- through-
out the world.

camps at home, and send USO-
Camp Show troupes abroad to en-
tertain our fightinf men near ev-
ery battlefront—often within the
sound of the guns.
War fund dollars provide rest
and recreation camps for our mer-
chant sailors, through United Sea-
mens Service, serving the many
men injured while sailing their
ships to assault beaches or through
war zones.
War fund dollars send games,
books, study courses, athletic e-
quipment, musical instruments and
many other supplies to our men in
enemy prison camps, to help com-
bat the dread “barbed wire sick-
ness” that threatens their morale.
War fund dollars send food to
the helpless orphans of China,
and whose land has (been ravished
by the Japanese.
(War fund dollars send medicin-
es, food, clothing and other sup-
plies to the aged and the helpless
in areas liberated by our armies,
giving new hope to the oppressed
peoples while helping our own
fighting men restore the areas
they have freed from the enemy.
War fund dollars help bring
earlier victory, through services to
our fighting men and their allies.
War fund dollors give new hope
to the entire war-stricken world,
and carry the message of Freedom
to every remote section of the
globe.
Texans, always generous, always
in the forefront of evry fight for
freedom and decency among na-
tions, are resopnding enthusiasti-
cally to the call on behalf of hu-
manity. There is little doubt that
in every county and every commu-
nity, the National War Fund drive
will go over the top.
For Texans everywhere are voic-
ing the words of the war fund
campaign slogan: J (i i
Sucre, I'll Oive a Texan’s Share!
The remains of another early
settler of this section Avas brought
back to White Deer this Aveek and
laid to rest .beside those of his
friends of former years.
Albert Claudius Duenkel of
Carisibad, father of Mrs. Roy Seitz
of this city, died at an El Paso
hospital, Saturday, Oct. 7. Funer-
al services were conducted at the

ery county, Mo., and on Feb. 25,

Summing up the results of a
campaign in which the children
were allowed to designate their
purchase, the Treasury reported
that the versatile scout cars Avere
favored over all other types of
military equipment. Each Jeep,

special metal plaques designating
the school which purchased it with
Avar stamps.

In a letter to Way land D. Toaaui-

the state-Avide Avar fund drive,
Mrs. Eisenhower declared: “as the
Avife of a soldier who takes just
pride in being a native son of our
great state, I have no question a-
bout your War Chest drive.”
Her full letter Avas as follows:
“With the opening of the War
Chest Drive, every Teyan opens
his heart, along with his pocket-
book,. for there seems to be some
magic in the mere fact of being
(born under the Lone Star which
Avarms the human heart.
“Like the Star of Bethlehem,
the Lone Star is a symbol of good
will.
“The great open spaces, the vast
area, the superb courage of your
pioneers and their descendents,
and the huge scale of their enter-
prises and activities—these, no
doubt, all contribute to the loyal-
ty and generosity of the Texas
spirit which has never failed in an
emergency.
“And so, as the wife of a sol-
dier who takes just pride in being
a native son of your great state
I haAre no question about the suc-
cess of your War Chest Drive, and
I feel deeply honored in (being one
of its sponsors.
“Every enterprise Avhich hast
ens the inevitable victory of oui
armed forces in this Avar for Free-
dom, which 'helps the boys in-the
serA’ice and alleA’iates suffering at
home, which helps to bring an end
to the tragedy, blood and tears in-
cident to the conquest of our ene-
emis, must ibe helped in every pos-
sible Avay.
“I am happy to participate in
the opening of your drive toward ^
that end, and, with every other
Avife and mother, Avhqse heart is at
the battle front, I pray earnestly
for an early victorious end to the
war and for strength and poise to
carry on cheerfully and helpfully
in the meantime.
“May Cod bless you Texans in
your War Chest effort!”

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
This is fire prevention week, by
proclamation of President Frank-
in D. Roosevelt. One out of every
three persons who lost their lives
as a result of fires in the United
States last year Avas a farm per-
son, the Department of Agricul-
ture report's. Fire is more hazard-
ous on the farm than in the city
beca'use feAv farms can call on a
trained fire department for assis-
tance, most farms are not equip-
ped with a ready Avater supply for
fire-fighting, farm buildings us-
ually are not as fire resistant as
city buildings and farmers usually
carry less fire insurance than city
people do. Farm fire prevention
suggestions have a readily avail-
able ladder that will reach to the
top of the highest building, see
that there is a Avater supply for
fare fighting in the farm yard,
and establish firebreaks around
haystacks, farm, buildings and ma-
turing farm crops of high fire
hazard.
White Deer people have experi-
enced the loss of tAVo beautiful
country homes this month and
should take Fire Prevention Week
as a serious matter.
AID FOR WAR VICTIMS
Since Poland was invaded in
1939, Americans have given more
than $175,000,000 to Avar victims
of more than 20 countries, the
Board reported in calling atten-
tion to the second National War
Fund Drive. Before the War Re-
lief Control Board was established,
700 agencies were appealing to the
public for support. Now only 110
agencies are authorized to engage
in foreign and domestic war char-
ity—including United Service Or-
ganizations, Uniited Seamens Ser-
vice, War Prisoners Aid, and local
Community Chest services. The
$250,000,000 fund sought this year
is expected to bring aid to 60 mil-
lion persons.
(Mrs. Truman Reid, the former
Iva Ruth Osborne, and children
have returned here for the dura-
tion. Capt. Reid is somewhere in
France.
Mrs. Bob Blackett of Wichita,
Kans., visited friends here Mon-
day. She is the former Je\vel
Beighle of Skellytow®.
Jim Powers who has spent some-
time with the Seabees in the Pa-
cific war zone is home on furlough.
