• The Sealy Chamber of Com-
merce met Tuesday night in the
regular monthly meeting for
February with Pres. Oscar
Schier presiding.
Secy. R. A. Engelking, Jr.,
reported on the cucumber pro-
ject, informing those present
that the work would begin right
away on the construction of
the plant here near the Santa
Fe stock pens when a few de-
tails as to water and building
material could be worked out.
He reported an increasing num-
ber of cuke planters and more
acreage being pledged, reaching
a total of over 300.
No report was ready for the
fire marshal’s fund.
A letter was read from the
Highway Department in reply
to a protest about discrimina-
tion against Sealy people rela-
tive to employment. The secre-
tary was instructed to send a
copy of the letter to each party
complaining of being discrimin-
ated against.
The matter of improving the
Santa Fe crossing on Main
Street was brought up and the
secretary was instructed to
write the Santa Fe officials at
Galveston about the project.
The new opening and closing
hours, because of the new war
time was discussed. Some seem-
ed to think the hours did not
exactly fit this locality and
might be better to observe the
old time business hours. The
chamber voted to take no ac-
tion, and refer it to the retail
merchants committee.
Pres. Schier announced his
standing committees as fol-
lows:
Traffic, R. W. Brau.
Trade Extension, Harry Kor-
thauer.
Executive, Alvin Muery, F.
F. Fisher.
Finance, Henry Hess, Jr.

• Mrs. Mae Dell Flagg, Garden
Editor of the Houston Post,
presented an interesting ad-
dress before the Sealy Garden
Club at its regular meeting
held Monday, February 9th, at
the home of Mrs. R. H. Hack-
barth.
The address on Spring Gard-
ening was well received by a
large number of club members
and guests. After a brief re-
sume of her impressions of
Sealy remembered from her
childhood days when she lived
here, the daughter of a Meth-
odist minister, she told the
group that this was the time
to plan gardens. She advised a
thought in retrospect of last
year’s garden with a view to
change of spots that were not
a complement to a beautiful
whole. Then, with a well de-
vised plan in mind, she sug-
gested that we begin now to
plant and transplant for the
coming season. A hedge, Mrs.
Flagg said, is a nice background
for any garden, front or back.
Inside this hedge enclosure,
centers of interest may be
placed to emphasize the var-
ious beauty spots, and don’t be
afraid of large stretches of
greensward, she suggested.
Small, odd-shaped flower beds
can detract, rather than beau-
tify, front gardens, she warn-
ed. She advised planting in
clumbs and drifts along a back-
ground of the evergreen. She
suggested that in planning, two
important things should be con-
sidered ; first, color harmany,
and second, continuous bloom-

• Loans to enable boys and
girls in all farm and ranch
families to help with war-time
food production are being made
by the Farm Security Adminis-
tration in cooperation with
county agricultural agents and
teachers of vocational agricul-
ture.
William Meinscher, agricul-
tural agent for Austin County,
said today that loans will be
made to members of 4-H, FFA
Club Chapter, and other rural
youth organizations who can-
not get adequate financial back-
ing from other sources. Loans
are not limited to children of
present FSA borrowers.
“Types of projects include
raising of pigs, calves, baby
chicks, home gardens or the
small-scale commercial type,
canning clubs, and a number
of other,” Mr. Meinscher said.
“Loans can be made to buy the
animals; for feed, seed, and
fertilizer; spray equipment;
canning supplies and other
needed facilities.”
The principal purpose of
these club loans is to enable all
farm and ranch boys and girls
to do their part in the "Food-
for-Freedom" program. The
loan can be made for as much
as $75 and bears five percent
interest.”
Mr. Meinscher said that the
loans will be made only to
youths willing and able to car-
ry out the project. Part of the
loan funds can be to rent the
necessary land if it is not avail-
able on the home farm.
Mr. Meinscher said that he
and Home Demonstration
Agent, Miss Viola McKenzie,
would furnish the instructions
to club members in completing
their projects.
