IN MEMORY OF OUR DEAR
SISTER, MARY GRAY
On Tuesday, November 11, God
called our sister home. Her death
came as a shock to everyone. She had
many friends which was shown by the
many beautiful flowers and words of
sympathy to the family.
She was a sweet sister, and her
dear children's he.irts are burdened
with their mother's absence. She
didn't live for herself alone, but for
others. She must have gone to her
home in Heaven without lerving an
enemy on earth. She lived for God.
always ready to help someone wh">
cotild not help himself, especially or
phan children and invalids.
The last time 1 visited my sister,
she was alone, reading her Bible, the
Nth Chapter of John. And it seems
n<Hv I can hear her say, "Let not
your heart be troubled." The Good
Book says. "We are rewarded for all
our good deec's done on earth," and
I feel that the stainless soul of my
sister Mary is in a land of eternal
sunshine and unfading f'owers, of
which a life of service to God made
her worthy.
When she answered her Master's
call, we feel sure she heard him say,
"A home for you I have prepare 1
a mansion for the blest; come unto
me. O weary soul, come unto me and
rest."
A sister, Mrs. E. E. Barnett.

THREE STUDENTS FROM BAh
TROP COUNTY ATTEND

Three students from Bastrop Coun-
ty are enrolled in the student body
of 2203 at Baylor University in Waco,
Texas, this fall, it was announced by
the registrar's office there.
One hundred ninety-ihrec Texas
counties and 404 Texas towns are re-
presented. Outside of Texr.s, 197
students come from 29 states and the
District of Columbia, and nine from
seven foreign countries.
President Pat M. Neff, former gov-
ernor of Texas, says that the tone
of student life has never reached a
higher level than this year in the his-
tory of the University. Scholarship of
the faculty and the physical plant oi
the University also ranks the best
in history, he said.
Students from Bastrop county arc:
Lucille Klvira Ash of Bastrop; Larry
Lawrence Lam kin of Smithville; Bet-
tye Ruth McDonald of Smithville.
PTA HEAD PRAISES SEAL
The lighthouse theme of the 1941
Christmas Seal ha. awakened im-
mediate response among school chil-
dren, according to Mrs. C. B. May-
nard, president of the Parent-Teaeh-
er Association of Bastrop Schools.
"There's something about a light-
house," said Mrs. Maynard "that ap-
peals to children even as it does t >
grownups. Perhaps it is the romance
of the sea, or the instinctive sense of
security that even the picture of a
lighthouse suggests. At any rate, we
parents have heard plenty of com
ment from the children about thi*
year's Seal, and that is a gratifying
effect.
"More and mote, school children
are beginning to realize their youth-
ful part in the health campaigns of
the nation, and the Parent-Teacher
Associations sre glad to foster the
interest engendered in the class-
room-; looking towr.rd healthful, hy-
gienic living.
"Every year the Christmas Seals
advance that trend, and I am sure
the children this year will do their
part without prompting to further the
good work of the local tuberculosis
association."

TEXAS CONGRESSMEN ASK
PRIORITIES CONSIDERATION
ON WIRE FOR R.E.A.
DEVELOPMTNT
Washington, Dec. 3—So that rural
electrification lines in Texas and else-
where may be expanded to give farm-
ers powei to produce for defense,
Texas Congressmen Lyndon B. John-
son and W. R. Poage recently went
to bat with the Office of Production
Management f r priorities on copper
essential to REA development.
The two Central Texas congress-
men cited OPM figures in a letter
to Donald Nelson, director of the
Supply, Priorities and Allocation.
Board, to show that copper surplus-
es above defense needs are adequate
to allow the ear-marking of enough
wire to string REA lines to farms
where power is needed for essential
defense> production of food
In their letter to Nelson the Con.
pressmen said that of the total of
1,650,000 tons of i^joper available,
the office of Production management
had estimated military needs would
require only 1.050,000 tons, leaving
600,000 tons for all civilian demands
Previously it had been estimated that
only 250,000 tons would suffice for
civilian needs which would leave an
impressive margin of supply.
Nelson was asked that steps to-
taken immediately to "see that pro-
ducers of food for the armies of
democracy receive equipment neces-
sary for them to meet the challenge.'
Classifying rural electric lines as an
"essential civilian use" the letter to
Nelson cited the Department of Agri-
cukure doctrine that it is ps nece*
sary for pilots to have butter, bread,
meat and milk as shells for their
guns and wings for their planes.
Both Congressmen expressed hope
early approval would be given to pre-
ferential consideration of their re-
quest for electricity for the farmer
at the crossroads over the metropol-
itan dweller who has just completed
a new home and needs, and is re-
ceiving electric current to light it."
