ed to come, whether the fathers be-

Volunteers Workers
Uldss Has Meeting
KThe time is fulfilled and
During last month an expansion
4-H club program was launched to
reach more Carson county girls and
boys. Five boys 4-H clubs were re-
organized with a total of 90 mem-
bers. Nine additional girls organiza-
tions were made, reaching 116 girls.
There are at present 12 girls clubs
with a membership of 161. There
are still girls in the county who need
4-H club work who have not had the
'Opportunity to have the work.
Miss Wanda Kimbrell hopes that
the program will be worked out so
that these other girls can be reach-
ed. The 4-H club program offers de-
velopment for every 4-H member
mentally, physically and spiritually.
It is a program that will help to
eliminate the juvenile delinquency
problem in Carson county. The peo-
ple in Carson county are back of the
4-H program.
Plenty of community volunteer
adult leaders have volunteered for
the girls work and sponsors for the
Ross Nix (arriving late to repair

census enumeration in Texas, accord-
ing to I. C. Unsell. Mr. Unsell said
that by Texas law all parents or
guardians of children are required to
give the necessary information dur-
ing the month of March.
School census tabulation concerns
all children between the ages of six
and seventeen. The scholastics ob-
tained form the basis of the allot-
ment for state available school funds
for the next school year. . The allot
ment last year was $30 per capita.
It will help your school financially
if yon gee that all children that are
in this school district are accounted
for in this enumeration.

In an election held last Saturday
citizens and property owners of
Groom voted to issue revenue bonds
to pay for installing a sewer system
in the City of Groom.
The vote was 104 for the issuance
of the bonds to 22 against. Total
vote was 126.
This was a much heavier vote than
had been anticipated and the issue
carried nearly 5 to 1.
The majority of the voters being
for the proposition the city commis-
sion is authorized to issue $40,000.00
in revenue bonds, for the construe-
tino of a sewer system. The bonds
will draw interest at the rate of
three and one-half per cent.
The election was held at the city
hall with C. H. Hall presiding judge,
Van Earl Steed, judge, and C. C.
Brown and Max Wade, clerks.
According to the list of city tax
payers approximately 160 were eli-
gible to vote, and 126 voting is con-
sidered an excellent expression of the
voters interest in the project.
The sewer system will be of much
benefit to our city and will be anoth-
er progressive step in making Groom
as modem a city as can be found in
the state.

my policy of fairness, promptness
and efficiency, without prejudice or

forcement agency of the county, I
want to thank the several grand jur-
ies with whom I have served, as well
as all the law enforcement officers
of the county, and the public in gen-
eral, for the hearty cooperation and
support, and for the teamwork dis-

Austin, March 14.—The Motoi’
Vehicle Division of the Texas High-
way Department asks all Texas mot-
or vehicle owners to see that the
titles for vehicles to be registered in
1946 are in order. The law provides
that before a vehicle may be regis-
tered, the owner must present to the
Tax Collector the prior year’s regis-
tration receipt and must have a title.
Many people do not understand
the importance and value of the
title act, and do not realize that the
Certificate of Title Act was passed
to improve the validity of titles on
motor vehicles thereby making such
title comparable to an abstract on
real estate.
Motor vehicle owners who have ac-
quired used vehicles, and who have
received assigned titles from the pre-
vious owners, are urged to apply at
once for their titles in order that
the transactions may be recorded and
the new owners shown on the title
records of the Department. Motor
vehicle owners are also urged to reg- ,
ister their equipment by purchasing
the 1946 license plates as soon as
possible. It is a common practice
throughout the State for owners to
wait until the last week in March,
•thereby creating congested conditions
and long lines of applicants in the
various Tax Collector’s offices. The
County Tax Collectors are exper-
iencing difficulty in obtaining tem-
porary help, and you will be helping
them and yourselves by obtaining
1946 license plates now and not wait-
ing until the last day or days.
There are some persons operating
motor vehicles with Out-Of-State li-
cense plates who may legally operate
under 1946 Out-Of-State license
plates, and these persons are caution-
ed to obtain such 1946 plates and ap-
ply same on or before the expiration
of their present plates. There are
others operating motor vehicles with
Out-Of-State license plates who must
legally re-register in Texas, and
these persons are advised to purchase
Texas plates immediately to avoid
having to pay a penalty in addition
to the registration fee.
Particular attention of the owners
of trucks,’ truck-tractors, trailers,
semi-trailers and buses was called to
■the fact that they must be prepared
to furnish the Tax Collector with a
complete description as to the size,
type and serial number, et cetera, of
equipment to be registered, and must
be prepared to register for the ac-
tual weight of the empty vehicle plus
the heaviest load to be carried, which
under the law cannot be less than
the maufacturer’s rated carrying ca-
pacity. If in doubt as to the actual
weight, the owners of commercial ve-
hicles should have them weighed and
present the weight certificate at the
time of registration.
