Our nation is at war. We are

crisis. We are being tested—lets
prove that democracy does work.
There is an agency for boys and
girls of all ages and they like to
help a society of the own; like
to help prove the goodness of a
work well done. This agency should
be fostered and encouraged by
every father and mother, every
teacher and naticnal well wisher

such as air raids, including (with ,

Second—to mobolize a maximum

and local authorities, of volunteers

to secure the co-operation of ap-

meeting emergency needs of the
state and communities in a man-

Landis is to help state and local

Each stamp will be good for the
period announced by OPA, and
under present plans, each ration
stamp will be good for two weeks.
Thus, as rationing begins on May
5, an individual may obtain half a

Dallas.—Uncle Sam is going to
have to tighten his belt this week,
and begin to tir the sugar in his
caffee, to be sure there will be
enough sugar to go around in case
we have to depend on our home-
grown supply.
That is the reason school teach-
ers in the southwest—and through-
out the land—are “going to
school, themselves to study the plan
books giving them official instruc-
tion in the method of registering
the trade on April 28 and 29 for
sugar rationing, and the general
public on May 4, 5, 6 and 7 for
war ration book number one.
Max L. McCullough, region direc-
tor for the office of price admin-
istration in Texas, Oklahoma and
Louisiana, has advised members
of the trade to obtain application
forms without delay from local
ration boards, for the commercial
registration April 28 and 29 at
high schools.
“Registration for the trade will
involve establishments varying in
size from the smallest country
store to the largest super-market,”
he explained, “and they may vary
in type from a boarding house or
a horn© candy manufacturer to a
fruit canning factory, soft drink
bottler or a meat packer. Some of
the information required may be
rather technical for some of these,
so it is important that they ob-
tain application forms beforehand,
study them and fill them out. Then
they will need only to go before a
registrar on April 28 or 29 and
sign the forms in the presence of
a registrar, to obtain sugar pur-
chase certificates.”
Mr. McCullough emphasized that
sugar rationing has become neces-
sary because today we are receiv-
ing no sugar from the Philippines
and very little from Hawaii, al-
though in peacetime we imported
27 per cent of our supply from
those areas; shipping from the
West Indies, from which we usual-
ly obtain 35 er cent of our sugar
stocks, is now uncertain. That
leaves the 38 per cent we produce
at home, which may have to be
spread among all the people.
OPA has revealed that each in-
dividual will be allowed one pound
reached. Canton was taxed $110
as their part in the emergency
to relieve the dependents of our
naval forces.
S. L. West is chairman for the
county drive and has committee
workers in all the towns in the
county and expects to raise the
county’s quota very shortly.
women in Van Zandt and adjoin-
ing counties will take advantage
of the opportunity afforded them.
Rev. Scott Tatum, a Siminary
student of Fort Worth, has been
calllec to pastorate the locul
Baptist church. He came to the
church as a guest speaker two
weeks ago and the church in con-
ference on the following Wednes-
day voted to call him to serve the
church. He returned Sunday and
at th® close of the morning serv-
ice a short conference was held
with the church at which time
he accepted the call after a unan-
imous vote of the church per-
mitting him to continue his studies
at the Seminary. He will take
over the active duties of the
church May 1.
Rev. Tatum is a graduate of
Baylor University and has two
years work in the Seminary to his
credit
Everyone who has heard him is
delighted with the manner in
which he conducts his services and
feel that the church hae made a
wise choice in calling him.
