INFORMATION ABOUT
CANNING SUGAR
Canning sugar allowable under
present regulations varies in amount
according co the actual canning done
by a family unit, its present supply
and its reasonable needs not set
at a fixed amount, Charles Wachen-
dorfer, chairman of the Lampasas
county war price and rationing board
explained.
There has been a lot of confu-
sion among some householders on
this point because the boards in
some counties have been more strict
than others.
The state OPA office recommend-
ed that on June 16 canning sugar
be limited to six pounds per person
yearly in urban or city areas, and
nine pounds per person in rural
areas which is the national canning
average. However, the state OPA
office made it clear that this was
not a hard and fast limit on the
quantity -of canning sugar allowable.
.It is still within the discretion of
the local board to increase canning
sugar allowance up to one pound of
sugar for each four quarts of fin-
ished fruit. All applications for the
six and nine pounds national aver-
age or leas will be handled at the
time the application is made. Appli-
cations in excess , of the national
average will be referred to the local
board to be considered at its next
meeting.
’The board must take into consid-
eration the application on an individ-
ual basis, as to the number of qlarts
of fruit a family canned last year,
the number on hand and of course,
the size of family. The canning
sugar regulation imposes
responsibility on the local board,
and it is
hinistered
serve the
to carry
sugar rationing program. For this
reason the local board will ask
for a strict account of the use of
sugar; and Its misuse for preserv-
ing or any other purposes besides
canning constitutes a violation
federal rationing regulations.

Miss Louise Kinder became the

Lutheran church in front of an altar
decorated with ferns, marigolds and

The bride, given in marriage by
her father, wore a wnite taffeta
dress with a sweetheart neckline,
and a long gathered skirt trimmed
with velvet bows. Her long veil of
net, bordered with lace with a satin
ribbon pulled in the insertions, was
held on her head- with a coronet
of white violets. For something old
she wore an antique necklace that
belonged to her mother and before
that had belonge'd to her grand-
mother. For something blue she car-
ried a blue linen handkerchief. Her

HEALTH HINTS
(State Health Department)
A child by the time he la two and
a half years of age should become
acquainted with the atmosphere of
a dental office and the ministrations
of a dentist is the advice given by
Doctor Geo. W. Cox, state health
officer. It is of prime importance,
according to Doctor Cox, that chil-
dren look upon the family dentist
as a friendly guardian of their
health.
In stressing the importance of
early dental care, Doctor Cox quoted
the following from a bulletin of the
American Dental Aasociation:
“Parents should teach the child
that the dentist is his friend. They
should not allow him to receive the
impression that a visit to the dentist
means unpleasantness and pain. Such-
impressions are usually created in
a child’s mind before he ever sees
the dentist. .
A “Parents can prevent fear in the
child by taking him to the dentist
before the teeth are decayed. Thus,
the first visit will consist of an ex-
aminatiofi only. Subsequent visits
will consist of a simple cleaning or,
at the most, the painless filling of
small cavities. It is a grave mistake
to so neglect a child’s teeth that his
first visit to the dentist must be
associated with pain.’*
Doctor Cox said that the impor-
tance of good dental -health had
been called to national attention by
recent selective service examinations
and added that great percentage of
physical rejections for military serv-
ice could have been avoided by dent-
al care

WOOL THIEF IS
ARRESTED HERE
A mart who gave his home as
Halletsville • was arrested here Sun-
day after selling 700 pounds of stolen
wool. The wool was stolen Saturday
night from a btfrn on th eranch of
L. W. Preixmeyer of El Campo and
was sold here about noon Sunday.
The man was arrested here by
the sheriff’s department and taken
j back to Wharton county by that
county's sheriff. The truck in which
(the wool was htfuled to Lampasas
was stored here until further no-
tice by the Wharton county sheriff's
department.
This is the second wool theft case
in the past week in which the thieves
were arreat-ed in Lampasas after
trying to sell their wool to the local
warehouses.
Three Stephenville boys were ap-
prehended here Thursday as they
tried to sell six sacks of wool that
had been stolen from the Henry
Clark house at Stephenville. The
sacks were not the regular size
wool sacks but were smaller bags.
When the boys tried to sell the wool
they aroused the suspicion of the
buyer and the law was called. The
boys were arrested and all three
signed confessions..
Wednesday night, according
the signed confessions, the boys
tered the feed store an<f took
wool .from seme bags there. They
threw it out the window, loaded
it in their car and started toward
Lampasas. Somewhere between Lam-
pasas and Stephenville they stopped
to sleep and then came into Lam-
pasas Thursday morning. The boys
were arrested here and placed in
the county jail to await the arrival
of the Stephenville sheriff who will
take them back. One boy gave, his
age as 16 another as 18 and
third failed to give any age.

nouncement of their approaching
marriage. The news was revealed at
a dinner given Saturday evening by
Mrs. W. E .Moore. Miss Moore was

tration. He is now employed in
Houston as an electrical engineer in

The dinner table, set for six, was
illuminated by tall yellow • candles
in silver holders. It had as its cen-
terpiece deep yellow zinnias massed
in a long silver tray. Around the
base of the zinnia tray individual
daisy corsages were artfully arranged
to complete the centerpiece. Attached
to each corsage by. a yellow bow of
satin ribbon was a tiny scroll bear-
ing the words “AnnierWaiter Au-
