THE CALDWELL NEWS
* Gulf States Utilities
Are Honored For
Wartime Service
• Atonic with other electric com-
panies of the nation, Gulf States
Utilities Company has been sig-
nally honored for its wartime
achievement of never being too
little or too late with electric serv-
ice for war production or civilian
needs. The special citation for dis-
tinguished wartime service, con-
ferred by the Charles A. Coffin
Foundation, was announced by Ger-
ard Swope recently on the "Hour
of Charm" radio broadcast. The
citation rebds, "Charles A. Coffin
Foundation established by General
Electric Company for the advance-
ment of the electrical art.Jpreby
recognizes the distinguishea^war-
time achievement of the electric
light and power industry. Faced
with unprecedented demand, the
clectric light and power industry
has met every war program re-
quired without delay anil without
impairment of its peacetime serv-
ices to the public. This achieve-
ment merits the approval not only
ot American industry bat a!.-:; of
the entire nation."
Few electric companies in the
country have been called upon to
meet such unprecedented demands
for electric power as has Gulf
States Utilities Company since the
early «lays of lend lease, accord-
ing to W T. Thagard. superintend-
ent of the company here. Among
the company's customers are "nig
refineries, rubber plants, and ship-
yards. In fact, must of the indus-
tries operating in the extensive
area along th ti;ilt C oast between
Beaumont and Baton Kougc, which
i> served by Gulf State- Utilities,
use electric p>'Wer service furn-
ished by the local electric company.
"Naturally we at pleased to re-
ceive this h no:." said Superin-
tendent Thagard. It is a fact that
Gulf States utilities has always
been on time with enough electric
power for war needs and civilian
needs, too. ^ t*u can bet that we
will be pi 'lid of our copy of this
certificate of distinguished serv-
ice."

Relief Is In Sight
For War-Time Living
COI.I,KGK STATION. Mar. ¡$1
Homemakers, who got caught
short on sheets and other house-
hold cottons when war production
curtailed supplies for civilians,
have a little relief in sight,
# The Bureau of Human Nutrition
bad Home Ki nonius has notified
the Texas A. and M. College F.x
tension Servio that mantifactur
er's ceiling prices on bed linens
have been raised to stimulate pro-
duction of sheets, pillowcases, and
sheetings. The* Bureau says the
price increase will he absorbed by
the retailer. So the price to con-
sumers, if and when bedding is
available, will remain at the March,
1942. level.
Here are a few other forecasts
on war-time family living during
1944:
A few electric irons may be pro-
duced by manufacturers if this
does not inte?fere with their war
^ out-put. The WI'B. however, has

Homemakers will l>e able to ob-
tain only, about 80 per cent of the
paper towels they used in 1942,
and the outlook for handy facial
tissues is pretty dark.
Restriction!-- on the sale of cut-
lery in boxed sets have been re-
moved, but homemakers can ex-
pect better quality in paring
hnives than in the earlier war mod-
els.
Women who have been hoping
for more and latter elastic or
elastic substitutes in girdles, bras-
sieres, and the like are headed for
disappointment. A new synthetic,
neoprene, was to he available for
these worthy uses this spring, but
the Army has requisitioned the en-
tire supply for making gasmasks.
The reliable two-way stretch is just
as remote as ever.

Rabbits Used For
Meat Extenders
COl,I,KGK STATION. Mar. .'11
Two or three female rabbits of the
¡NIK*. d« iii«:stic Rpcclcs ir. a back
yard hut eh should supply the meat
needs of an average family for
one year. According to R. E. Cal-
lender, game management special-
ist for the A. and M. College Ex-
tension Service, one doe under good
management should produce .'15 to
If) pounds ..f tender, white meat
yearly. More breeding stock is
available this spring, and limited
space and little time ar. needed
to make backyard rabbit raising
practical.
('allendei says that the land-
marks of successful rabbit produc-
tion arc vigorous, healthy breed-
ing -itock, proper housing, sanita-
ti in, and correct feeding. Sanita-
tion houlil be obse—. ed carefully
since attempts to produce rabbits
i inet.iuie- fail ticeausc of neglect
in this respect.
Proper feeding for health arid
production occasions no difficulty.
I'ccau.- rabbit • readily eat a vari-
ety of whole grains and green feed.
i allcnder lists whole oats as their
piefeivnc" of the grains, with
wheat, grain rghunis, (milo. kaf-
ii and fet.rita). barley anil rye in
order Whole c m is not satisfac-
tory because rabbits eat out the
kernels and waste the remainder.
The specialist suggest'. as a
suitable ration a mixture of 100
pounds of oats. 100 pounds of
wheat or milo, 100 pounds of soy-
bean pellets, and 300 pounds of al-
falfa or peanut hay. Plenty of salt
and fresh, clean water should be
kept in the hutches regularly.
1940 Silage Boosts
Milk Production
COLLEGE STATION. Mar. 1
When Marshall McKenzie, Hopkins
County dairyman, began feeding
Rabbitd relish garden vegetables
and root crops, lawn clippings and
other green feed, but do best when
these are provided alofig with reg-
ular rations. Feed greens sparing-
ly at first and then in amounts
which will be cleaned up in three
to five minutes. Too much green
feed to growing litters, however,
will reduce the amount of grain
consumed and retard quick and
max! um development.
A doe and litter should be self
fed with grain and protein mix-
ture regularly before them. Dry
does and males should be hand fed
at intervals in amount to keep
them in good condition. Over
weight sometimes results from ac-
cess to self feeders. A supply of
good legume hay should be kept
in the hutch manger at all times.

cellent condition. By the end of
the month, he has reduced his cows
to nine and still was gc,ting an
increase of more than 50 per cent

county agricultural agent, Mark
Buckingham. The amount of hay
the cows consumed was consider-
ably decreased.

COLLEGE STATION, Mar. 31—
Cost o" the upkeep of her yard
demonstration averages about 50.
cents per month, Mrs. Leroy Wil-j

This cost covers the purchase of
new plants and trees. Mrs. Wil-

agent of the Texas A. and M. Ex-

native shrubs enables her to keep!
the cost of her yard demonstration
so low. She also does her own
pruning.
