OIL
A cable Ape drilling rig has been
set up on the Whitfield 828 acre
tract 5 miles north of Dublin in
Erath County. The drilling con-
tract calls for a test of a depth of
50 feet inside the Ellenburger lime.
A block of about 3,000 acres is
included. Edward Brothers of Lub-
bock are making the test. This ts
said to be a thorough test of oil
possibilities in this seeion and will
be watched with interest as the
<ell goes down.
W P. BOYD REPORTS
OIL ACTIVITY
There is now being spudded in
an oil well test on the R. M. Boyd
place a mile or so east of Downing.
There is about 2,000 acres in this
block and the actual drilling be-
gan last Sunday.
Other test wells have been put
down in this territory and their
logs indicated oil bearing forma-
tions, hence this test. The other
tests It is thought may have stopped
too soon and before paying quan-
tities of oil was reached. It is
planned for this test to make a
thorough exploration.
Gla-sse & Higgins have the con-
tract and C. O. Higgins is In ac-
tive charge. From the latest re-
port* more than 1,000 feet has been
drilled out. This test has unusual
interest and will be watched close-
ly by the oil fraternity as well as
by local citizens.
Mrs. J. W. Hodges received a
message Wednesday morning that
her son, Verble, died In a U. S.
Naval Hospital at Seattle, Wash.
The message came by wire to Dal-
las and .was telephoned here at 2:00
a.m., March 7. A letter will follow-
ing giving the details of the tragedy
according to the announcement.
Verble was graduated from the
De Leon High School in 1946. He
has been a favorite yo-ung citizen
here all of his life.
For the past four months he has
been serving on the U.S.N.S. David
C. Shanks transport ship.
Funeral arrangements will

gard to young Hodge’s death was
The IX Leon Volunl"“i' hire De-
partment nceived their long await-
ed for fire truck last night (Wed-
nesday), and just in case you are
still wondering where the 3-alarm
fire was, there wasn’t one. The
alarm was to let the fire boys and
any other curious people know the
truck had arrived.
Some of the citizens seen around
the new piece of fire fighting
equipment weren’t exactly dressed
for fighting a fire. Some were still
in their night clothes. City Attor-
ney Frederick Harmon came attired
in pajamas and a house robe.
Severial inquiring calls were re-
ceived at the telephone office, but
the operator had heard of no fire.
So those desiring to find out what
caused the commotion had to get
out of bed, go down town and
find out for themselves.
A story on this new fire truck
will be forthcoming in a future
issue.
Postmaster Counts has given
much time to this work and has
never expected pay for the wide
field of services he has performed.
Mr. Counts, as local chairman, has
full information in printed form, so
thYzt he can contact soldiers, or ser-
vice men, in case of calamity or
distress. He attends the schools
which work more and more toward
perfection.
The De eon territory will
make up its quota in this work this
year as it has allways done before.
FORT WORTH, Mar. 5.—Light
but fairly general precipitation dur-
ing the past two weeks has not been
sufficient to provide the blow
areas of Texas and Oklahoma with
adequate erosion protection from
sweeping spring winds, Regional Di-
rector Louis P. Merrill of the U.S.
Soil Conservation Service said to-
day
The survey shows that the total
land acreage without enough plant
cover or residue to prevent erosion
damage has increased from 2.708,-
970 six weeks ago to 2,861,970 in
the wind erosion areas of the two
states.
Soil movement is a key problem,
too in the sandy Texas Cross Tim-
bers aren centered around Dublin,
De Leon, Gorman, Eastland, Ste-
phenville and Jacksboro, where
more tha 115,000 acres have under-
gone moderate to severe erosion in
the past two weeks. Drought and
frost have crippled grain and le-
gume growth and left lands vul-
nerable to blowing. Peanut lands
not protected by strip crops or
hay have blown badly.
District Conservationist W. R.
Helzer, nt Dublin of the Cross Tim-
bers, reported 1JL&00 acres badly
damaged by erosin.
Additional moisture now in the
Cross Timbers and other blow sec-
tions suffering from dryness is
bringing semi-dormant cover crops
and grains to life and help ward
off soil damage expected from
March nnd April winds. Field re-
ports show that total rainfall in
the Cross Timbers area has aver-
aged 1.32 inches from sleet, snow
nnd showers during February.
In Texas erosion areas, where
moisture for the report period av-
eraged less than a quarter of an
inch, severe dust and sand storms
were reported at Big Spring, Here-
ford, Lubbock, Littlefield, Lamesa,
Sweetwater, Denton and San Saha.
Rev and Mrs. J. W. Latiolait,
pastors of the Foursquare Church
in Archie Town, announce a revi-
val will begin at the church on
Sunday, March 11 and will continue
through Friday, March 16. Services
will be held at 7;80 each evening.
The public is given a cordial In-
vitation to attend these gospel
meetings.
The new state senatorial redis-
tricting law passed this week at
Austin makes many shifts in these
districts. Since there has been no
legislative redistricting in the past
30 years, these shifts were to he
expected. Comanche County is
placed in the 12th senatorial dis-
trict with Erath, Hood, Somerville,
Johnson, Ellis, Hill, Bosque, Cor-
yell and Hamilton.
Thus our county is shifted from
the former West Texas associates
into what might be termed a cen-
tral or north Texas position.
After this year we will have a
new set-up with a different state
senator.
Comanche County will be in the
75th district now. This district is
made up of three counties. They
are Brown, Mills and Comanche
counties. Heretofore Comanche
and Mills counties made up the
104<h District.
