Home Canners Will Be Busy
Home canning will be just as
important this summer as it
was in 1944 or any of the pre-
vious years. Commercially cann-
ed fruits and vegetables will be
scarce again this year. The
armed forces will need large
quantities of both for 1945. Not
enough labor for production,
processing, and transportation
are the chief causes for the
need of more home canning in
1945. More pressure cooked
will be producer and they will
not be rationed. Water bath
canners will be ready for the
canning season.
Try A Canning Budget
Team your gardening with
your canning by planting a-
mounts necessary for using di-
rectly from the garden and to
yield amounts you can pre-
serve easily. Avoid a canning
spree that lasts far into the
night and for which neighbors
and friends must be helpers—
willing or otherwise. Budget— j
or plan the canning program
for your family in order to,
have a balanced supply of a!
In recognition of the remark-
able record made by Austin
County Chapter, A. R. C., the
following is, in part, from a
letter just received by its chair-
man, Miss Edna Lewis:
“Your chapter can be justly
proud of having conducted a
most successful 1945 Red Cross
War Fund. The speed with
which your goal was attained
reflects careful planning, as
well as many hours of hard
work by your loyal volunteers.
Mr. II. C. Frizzell, your War
Fund chairman, has carried his
ta.sk to a successful conclusion.
His able leadership has helped
assure the fulfillment by the
American Red Cross of its ob-
ligation of service to our armed
forces.”
(Signed)
H. F. Keisker, Manager.”
Enclosed with the letter were
certificate of honor and War
Fund chairman’s citation which
have been earned by this chap-
ter. The first reads:
“This Certificate of Honor is
awarded Austin County Chap-
ter by the American National
Red Cross for distinguished
achievement in the 1945 War
Fund.”
(Signed:)
Basil O’Connor, chairman,
American Red Cross
The War Fund chairman’s ci-
tation, for presentation to Mr.
Frizzell, is as follows:
“This Citation for services as
1945 War Fund chairman is
hereby awarded to H. C. Friz-
zell by the American National
Red Cross, in grateful recogni-
tion of outstanding loyalty, pa-
triotism and public spirit.”

Jos. V. Frnka
Appointment of Jos. V. Frn-
ka of Columbus, as an assis-
tant attorney general effective
April 1, was announced today
by Attorney General Grover
Sellers.
Frnka, a native of Austin
County, has been in the general
practice cf law at Columbus,
where he has resided for over
forty years. He served as a
member of the Texas Legisla-
ture.
The new assistant will be in
the Taxation Division of the
Attorney General’s Depart-
ment.
Austin, April 4 — Approxi-
mately 250,000 persons driving
motor vehicles in Texas do not
have valid operators’ licenses,
Director Homer Garrison of the
Department of Public Safety
said today.
This isn’t a deliberate, whole-
sale violation of the law, Gar-
rison observed. It’s simply the
result of drivers failing to ob-
serve the expiration dates of
their licenses.
J. B, Draper, chief of the
Drivers License Division, re-
ported that sparodic renewals
create a difficult labor situation
in that division, and urged mo-
torists to check the date stamp-
ed on their licenses. Ordinary
operators’ licences expire two
years - from date of issue;
chauffeurs’ and commercial
operators’ licenses, one year
from date of issue.
Application blanks are avail-
able at Drivers License and
Highway Patrol officers, court-
houses, and some city halls,
fire stations, and service sta-
tions.
Austin County Praised By Headquarters For
Conducting Successful Red Cross War Fuud Drive
Last week we took a spin
which led us through a half
dozen counties. Howard F.
Gunter had charge of the
steering wheel and, as usually,
exercised the utmost care in
driving through crowded streets
as well as on the lonely dirt
road in the timberbelt. We
marveled at the wonderful im-
provements the highway de-
partment has accomplished in
the blackland counties in cen-
tral Texas. Practically all in-
corporated cities shone and
sparkled from a distance like
myriads of highly decorated
Easter Eggs. The small towns,
however, have been sadly neg-
lected the past several years,
which is amplified by the dilap-
idated buildings and unpainted
structures which no longer
serve the purpose for which
they were built. The rich and
well-to-do move to the larger
cities for the sake of their fam-
ilies and the man of modest in-
come and small bank account
does the same thing. Soma
people are prone to believe that
there are too many business es-
tablishments irf a small town to
justify their operations while
others feel that there are too
many small towns in any giv-
en county. They aver that the
schools are being consolidated
to good advantage and that the
discontinuance of the small
towns would help the larger
towns and automatically raise
the price of farm products. The
absorbtion of the larger farms
by city folks will eventually
bring this about efter peace is
declared throughout the world.
Agriculture is the greatest in-
dustry in the world but new
methods, new tactics must be
applied to
close to the
With the incidence of chick-
enpox and mumps more than
50 percent higher than records
indicate for a seven year me-
dian. Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, issued a state-
ment today declaring, “It is a
great mistake to treat even
light cases of measles, chicken-
pox. mumps, scarlet fever, or
any other of the communicable
diseases of childhood as though
they did not amount to much.
That sort of treatment makes
it possible for these diseases
to spread and cause serious out-
breaks among children and
their resulting impaired resis-
tance makes them easy victims
to other forms of infection.
I “Some of the most serious
outbreaks of chickenpox which
we have had, have been traced
to mild cases—that is. to cases
too light for the doctor to be
called. In seme instances the
children have continued to go
to school and to associate and
play with other children. In
other, after they have been
kept at home for a few days,
. they have returned to school
and have scattered these germs
around among their school-
mates. Eventually a greup of
j cases—sometimes very serious
ones—have developed from the
carelessly-handled mild case.
The result was another epidem-
ic that could have been pre-
vented.”
The State Health Officer
I said that the family doctor is
; the best judge of the serious-
ness of such childhood diseases,
and suffering and anxiety will
be avoided if the child is put

Early Good Friday morning
a series of thunderstorms start-
ing in north central Texas,
swept the entire southern sec-
tion of the state. Many west
Texas cities and towns suffer-
ed untold damages to proper-
ty. The wind and rain struck
Austin count.v at about the
same time. The wind was un-
usually swift but abated with-
out doing any noteworthy dam-
age in our burg; the heavy
downpour, however, leveled
practically all plowed land and
drowning out the sprouted
seeds. Terraces and ditches
failed to stem the tide of the
floodwaters. In many places
no traces of terraces and
ditches were visible. Farm la-
bor cannot be obtained at any

From our nation’s capitol
conies information that the U.
S. will have new money after
the war ostensibly to guard
against the circulation of coun-
terfeit currency now prevalent
in Europe, especially in Nazi-
Germany. After the war a
dollar will still be worth a hun-
dred cents, but the things we
buy will cost more, says the
report. The one hundred thir-
ty million Americans are sup-
posed to carry three billion
foreigners on their backs, for
several years, cr until they" can
support themselves. That
be a huge task, so huge,

the proprietor had sold out
his supply of drinks the day
before. Walking back to the
car our companion said: “Well,
we drove a long stretch to drill
a dry hole.” This remark set
us to thinking. There will be
many more dry holes of such
kind drilled during the next
season. Nevertheless we clos-
ed a land deal during the noon
hour and arrived home before
dusk—a pretty good timetable,
I think.
