• The tin can campaign set to begin last Saturday morning in
Sealy is underway and some points designated as concentration
point or dumping ground show small results, others are still
empty.
After a canvass of the four concentration points designated
.to take care of tin cans from various'sections, Alvin Muery,
chairman of the drive, reports that only one location shows any
appreciable collection. Mr. Muery is appealing through the press
to every home to take their cans to their nearest point of con-
centration right away.
Sealy must not lag nor fall behind other communities in
this call for scrap materials. This is so little to do, when others
are giving so much, some their life. /
For the first time in the history of this country women
are mobilizing for active participation in a war. Women have
learned that total war means total effort. There are many
avenues of service, but there is none more important than the
job women will do in the home army of which every woman
in Sealy is a member. ...
Right now the job at hand in Sealy and vicinity is the
collection of tin cans and taking them to the designated points.
Every 100 pounds of food cans contain one pound of tin
and 99 pounds of steel. Salvage and scrap are essential elements
of war munitions. The fighting front is depending on the home
front.
As furnaces are roaring to produce more steel for tanks,
planes and guns, Uncle Sam’s scrap pile is rapidly diminishing.
The need for scrap and more scrap is becoming daily more

tion. The salvaging of scrap is a job for every man, woman
and child in America. We must dig—and dig deep—in the "mine,
above-the-ground,” the rich reserve of junk which wasteful
America has accumulated through the years. Those mining op-
erations may well determine whether—and how soon—we will

It might be asked why in this land of plenty, with its huge
deposits of iron ore, there is such an urgent and unprecedented
demand for scrap iron and steel. There are good reasons. Steel
is made of scrap and pig iron—metal melted from iron ore.
Even in normal times scrap supplies about one half the raw
material for steel production—and the reason behind it is that
scrap contains much valuable alloy material which is recovered
in steel production. With the shortage in critical materials—
such as nickel, tungsten, chromium and other metals needed
for the many types of allow for the production of weapons—
such recovery becomes all the more imperative. Too, while there
is abundant ore available for the production of pig iron, much
labor and extensive transportation facilities are needed to mine,
purify and transport the ore to the steel mills.
These are only a few reasons why scrap collection of the
ferrous metals and other materials is essential to war produc-

Sealy Gins Have
Ginned 762 Bales Of
Cotton Up To Thursday
• The four gins in the Sealy
section had ginned 762 bales of
cotton up to Wednesday noon.
It is estimated by some that
the crop is not half gathered
yet.
High grade cotton is selling
at 18c and low grade from 12
to 16c. Last year’s cotton yield
was something like 1200 bales.
The price range was around
16c.
The different local gins,have
baled up to Wednesday noon

a dinner at the noon hour with
chicken and veal barbecue and
country-style sausage dinner.
Lunch will be served during
the afternoon.
Concert music, amusement

Last year no tax was levied

The public improvement fund

• The Comissioner’s Court of
Austin County sitting in reg-
ular session Monday took up
the important matter of fixing
the tax rate for the county for
1942. After careful considera-
tion of the county’s probable
, financial requirements for this
year, fixed the rate at 42c,
which is the same rate as that
fixed for last year. This is one .
of the lowest rates in Texas.

• P. O. Egner, a consulting
engineer and a member of the
firm of Egner Brothers of
Houston, has invented a new
type of tool for vibrating fresh-
ly poured concrete so that it
will settle properly in the man-
ufacture of concrete ships. This
tool won him third prize in a
contest sponsored by the Com-
pressed Air Institute of New
York several weeks ago. Egner -
made the tool from a long-
stroke compressed air chipping
hammer in which he could vary
the speed. He fastened a rubber
butt to the head of the tool to
give the proper amount of jar
to the fresh cement going in-
to the forms without damaging
the forms. He worked on his
invention six months before
completing it. Egner is 22 years
old and is married. He attend-
ed A. and M. and the Univer-
sity of Houston. He has vol-
unteered for services in the
armed forces.
Mr. Egner is a son of Paul
Egner, a native of Sealy, and a
grand son of John Egner, of
Sealy. Both his father and
grand father died within the
past few years.

• Floodlights on the local grid-
iron will be switched on for
the - first time of Sealy High
School’s 1942 football season,
when the Tigers engage in this
year’s curtain raiser the Brah-
ma eleven from the county
seat.
The Bellville team has al-
ready had exhibition experience
this season, having defeated
Hempstead High School’s bat-
tling force 26 to 0 in its first
game last Friday night.
The Tigers start the season
with the disadvantage of hav-
ing lost six of last years men
—five of whom were lettermen
—but by shifting players in the
lineup a promising team is be-
ing built.
Of last year’s starting back-
field, only George Cook is left
to start this season. Kurtz and
Krampitz have been pulled from
the line and placed at left half
and full back. Miksovsky, one
of last year’s second stringers,
is in the lineup for first string
right half.
Orsak at center and Flintz at
guard are lettermen from last
year who will show the benefit
of their experience this season.
While attendance at games
this year can not be expected
Ebsaamskne •

among the blessed events.
We are expecting people of
this vicinity to get scrappy and

This scribe was . convinced
long ago that the farther one
goes down into the Valley the
slicker the graft artists get.
This one sent from Taft by
Mrs. A. H. Moebes bears out
our contention. She says that a
super salesman through that
section approached a farmer to
sell a milking machine. The
farmer demurred, declaring
that he did not need a milking
machine as he only had one
cow, and that besides he did
not have any money. “Oh, don’t
worry about that,” said the
smooth tongued salesman, and
when he left an hour later he
had sold the farmer two milk-
ing machines and took the cow
as down payment.

mas will be Zapalac at quarter-

Texas Open Season
On Ducks Is Nov. 2
Through Jan. 10
• The Izaac Walton league of
the east estimates that well
over 100,000,000 ducks will lam
it south within the next few
months. This is 30,000,000 more
than last season and three
times as many as in 1935.
Good, weather conditions, hard
conservation and fine water
conditions for breeding are re-
sponsible for the big flocks.
The Texas open season on
ducks is November 2 to Jan-
uary 10. These birds are break-
ing up housekeeping in the
northern woodlands with the
healthiest prospect in years in
reaching the Texas coast to
spend the winter.
Hunters may be equipped
with sufficient ammunition,
but not enough tires or gaso-
line. The ducks can thank the
war for this break. Guns and
ammunition are not a problem
of the nimrods, according to a
leading sporting goods house.
While sporting shot guns are
not being manufactured, there
are enough shells in stock to
supply the season’s crop of
hunters.
Hunting does not clash with
patriotism since shotgun pow-
der is different from that used
in military arms.
