But sometimes there’s an extra-heavy rush
on certain circuits—especially to war-busy
places.
The idea is to give everybody a fair share
of the wires. That gets to be more and more
important every day.
Whenever that happens, the operator will
ask you to limit your Long Distance calls
to 5 minutes.
For the Russian peasant with no choice but to burn his home before
the Nazis reached it; for the Chinese of Nanking who suffered the terrorism
of the Jap; for all of those in nameless graves and numberless cells—for ALL
of them there was no second chance, no other choice.

Six pasture demonstrations
in the area of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce will be
held in June, Hubert M. Har-
rison, manager of the regional
chamber, announced Monday.
The demonstrations will be
in charge of the agricultural
department, Wm. A. Wilson,
director, and will feature the
clearing of creek bottom lands
by use of the Mobile Power
Saw, as well as a study of soils,
fertilizers and adaptable grass-
es and clovers for pasture de-
velopment in Eesa Texas, it
Farming today is a war necessity, but it can also be a happy
diversion. Here in East Texas are hundreds of small tracts of
cut-over pine lands which would make ideal homes for your
family, and at the same time give you something pleasant to do
in .your spare time.
Wives of men in the four
lowest pay grades of the arm-
ed forces can now get matern-
ity care plus medical, hospital
and nursing care for their ba-
bies in 23 states without cost
to the family, the Children’s
Bureau of the U. S. Depart-
ment of Labor has announced.
To apply for such aid the wife
must fill out a form secured
from the state health depart-
ment. Additional states are
expected to have approved
programs soon.
For those who fall and freeze on the lime-covered floors of the cattle
cars that carry them to German labor camps—there is no other choice.
Has it ever occurred to you that aside from the profit from farm-
ing, that there is more sincere pleasure from seeing things grow
than from almost any other source. What a thrill you can get
from seeing succulent plants develop from tiny seeds, or from
pulling full-ripened corn from sturdy stalks you helped to grow.

The following places, and
dates are scheduled for the
demonstrations in June: Luf-
kin, the 15th; Jacksonville, the
16th; Marshall, the 17th; Paris,
the 22nd; Kaufman, the 23rd;
and Corsicana, the 24th. The

“East Texas creek bottom
lands are the best and only
virgin lands we have left and
they make our best pastures.
If cleared and planted to the
adaptable grasses and clovers,
they will become profitable
and aid the fast growing live-
stock industry here. The dem-
onstrations will afford oppor-
tunity for our livestock people
to study modern methods of
clearing these lands and hear
from pasture experts results of
successful experiments of pas-
ture fertilizers and sodding
grasses and clovers,” Wilson
said in announcing the sched-
ule.

Under the principal that it
is the people’s war bond cam-
paign as well as the people’s
war, Treasury Secy. Morgen-
thau has taken an important
step to bring the sale of war
bonds and stamps closer to the
people and more fully to util-
ize the valuable services of
hundreds of patriotic Texans.
This move places all Texas
war loan sales of bonds and
stamps to individuals and cor-
porations directly under the
direction of Frank Schofield,
War Bond Administrator for
the state, whose record in the
recent Second War Loan Drive
and in the month-by-month
sale of bonds in Texas was
given outstanding recognition.
Secretary Morgenthau has
announced that all the various
separate war bond sales cam-
paigns by Victory Fund Com-
mittees, War Savings Staffs
and others now are united in
the one organization, thus en-
abling War Bond Administra-
tor Schoffield to utilize the
services of the voluntary com-
mittees set up in every Texas
county.
The sale of government se-
curities to banks, insurance
companies and bond dealers
will continue to be handled
by the Federal Reserve Banks.
The sale of bonds to individ-
uals and corporations — the
great program of placing the
war bonds directly in the
hands of the people and mo-
bilizing the dollars of the Tex-
as citizens in the war effort,
is unified under the leadership
of War Bond Administrator
Schofield, who will report di-
rectly to the Secretary of the
Treasury. His organization
will be responsible for the en-
tire program of continuing
sale of war bonds through vol-
untary payroll allotment and
other plans, as well as in the
special drives such as the re-
cent Second War Loan.
In effect, this extends recog-
nition to the many thousands
of patriotic Texans who are
giving their time and their ef-
fortfort in carrying on day by
day the splendid Texas record
of ,buying bonds and stamps;
and it so unifies the future pro-
gram that these committees,
working with Administrator
Scofield, will be able to find
the fullest utilization of their
efforts. It is a fine recognition
for the Texans; and this also
• is a commendable and bene-
ficial decision by Secy. Mor-
genthau, through which Tex-
fort will gain in direct ef-
fectiveness.
