Care Urged For
Civilian Occupations
E. P. Eitelman Injured
Near Here Saturday
Little E. F. Eitelman, jr. who is
visiting with his cousin, Freddie
Stockdale. accidentally fell from the
back seat of the Stockdale car while
the car was traveling about 55 miles
per hour near Old Glory Saturday.
E. F. received minor cuts on his
head but he was thrown clear of the
car. ' >
General J. Watt Page, State Sc
lective Service Director, today again
urged Texas' local boards to make
certain that, no man called for direct
military training who is more useful
V to the national defense program in
( his civilian occupation.
Stressing the need for this careful
selection and the necessity for main-
taining an adequate reservoir of pro-
^-fessional and technical specialists, the
director said:
\ "While the selection of men for
service in the armed forces is essen-
tial to the national defense, it is equal-
ly important that there be no inter-
ference with the production of defen-
se supplies and materials. We must
,J. feed and clothe the military forces,
\ as well as preserve the morale of the
K civilian population by protecting the
public health and'general welfare.
* 1 r "There arc hundreds of places
where the hand of man is needed to
produce arms, munitions -tanks, uuck
aiid airplanes. Vitally..important is
the fact that ffoin our mines we
must produce the minerals that a
mechanical army fashions its, weap-
field of engineering, including Train-
ed technicians and specialists in mu -

continued. The insurance will protect
them from all unavoidable hazards,
such as droughts, insects, flood, plant
disease, wind, fire and hail.
Premiums and guaranteed yields
will be figured in terms of pounds bt
lint cotton and the premiums will be
based on the crop-loss history of in-
dividual farms adjusted to reflect the
crop-loss history of the county. Yields
and crop-loss averages will be figured
on the basis of historical or appraised
productivity over a period of years'.
Premiums for individual cotton
growers, the AAA official continued,
will be figured on a lint: cotton basts.
Payment of premiums will be trisKie
with a coriimodity note on or befd're
maturity date. The maturity date is
at about the time cotton is picked t>r
about the time indemnities are usually
paid.
In paving.the note, Mr. Green con-
tinued, it may he paid cither in cot-
ton or the cash equivalent. In the
event the note is not paid when it
matures, the cash amount of the
premium will be deducted for the in-
demnity paid the grower, or from
the first Government payments he re-
ceives. These payment* include cot-
