kind enough to drive it for him which
was really appreciated.
Just wonder how much faster our
little ole town could grow. We already
have forgotten how peaceful it used
to be, 1 overheard two colored men
on the street yesterday, saying that
our little town would neve" be like it
once was and as Pete Shady says, the
out of 'town people will just have to
come and see the change* as w?
couldn't believe it ourselves if we
weren't here.
We were shocked yesterday morn-
ing (Monday) when the news reach-
ed us that Delton Hefner had just
passed away. We still can't realize
that he is gone when only a few short
days ago I talked to him on thii
street. He had been ill about two
weeks with pneumonia and Sunday
sat. up a short while but was to.)
weak, and he died at 2 o'clock Mon-
day morning. He will be buried ait
Smithville this afternoon (Tuesday)
at two o'clock. Our hearts full of
sympathy to the bereaved family,
but we know kinds words only
seem to make our burden heavier and
only time can heal but may God's
blessings be up< n this family.

"This Mighty Change
In Our Ways of Living9
1 l IUS Walter Lippmaru noted newspaper
writer, described what America is facing. Be
cause the war program is demanding enor-
mous quantities of material of every kind, th ;
rest of us must make out with less. Already
automobies and tires have been rationed and
we are told that this is just the beginning, that
many other things will be restricted as tim*-
goes on. It all means changes for everybody,
in our ways of living—changes for you.
changes for us, changes in family affair*,
changes in business affairs.
HERE IS ONE CHANGE IN THE ELECTRIC BUSINESS
WHICH YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT--
By order of the government, no more extensions of electric
iines can be made except those directly related to the war ef-
fort or to the public health and safety. Electric companies
may obtain materials to operate, maintain and repair their ex-
isting systems, and to connect customers to their existing lines.
But no major line extensions are permitted except by express
authorization of the United States government.
The government is urging everybody, in
homes, on farms, in stores and factories tc
repair existing equipment and appliances and
keep them in use, instead of buying new
things. Oftentimes, electrical appliances
which have been broken can be made a.!
good as new by simple repairs. Your local
appliance dealer will help you in getting tht*
repairs made.
Of course, some appliances have outlived
their usefulness and cannot be repaired. Re-
placements for other reasons may be neces-
sary. There is also a great need for new
household equipment to outfit the thousands
of n.ew homes that are being built in the de-
fense housing program. Your local dealer
will assist you in obtaining any equipment
which may be available during the emei
gency.
Faced with war problems, just as you are, we are giving our
best efforts toward insuring an adequate supply of power
for civilian needs as well as war demands.
