'STRANGE LOVE'
NEW BOOK IN
RENTAL LIBRARY
Upon the Rental Library shelf in
the Bastrop Advertiser office you
will find for your enjoyment a novel.
"This Strange Love", by Phyllis Gor-
don Demarest in this novel we find
the twin themes of love and ambition.
Against a background of excitement
and color, her story comes to life, as
real as today, as streamlined as to.
morrow.
The characters in the novel each
has a dream, and each is striving to
reach his precious goals in spiis of
every obstacle. Miss Demarest pro-
trays these people with fearless hon-
esty. She shows us their human frail,
itiea and their seeking hearts. She
wi iters of their indomitable hope*,
their loves and fascinations, the
twisting dangers each must encoun
ter on the road to success.
The characters we meet in this
book include first, Tamara, who be-
lieved that love could be won; who
made her own rules in the game of
hearts and abided by them in spite
of mockeries and defeat.
Then next, we meet Scott, who be-
lieved himself greater than defeat
whose genius made him a law unto
himself, a law unto love.
Kay believed in her own enchant-
ment her own baeuty and the power
of these weapons to wrest everything
she craved from living.
Jeremy, who believed in Tamara
and whose very love for her bid fair
to wreck her dreams.
All these characters and others,
Miss Demarest makes live and breath
—etches cameo-clear and brilliant.
Her dialogue pulses with natural
swiftness her Story moves breath-
lessly forward from climax to great-
er climax, and there is never a drop
in the keen suspense of this absorb-
ingly-moulded drama.
GOVERNOR PRfKTLAIMS "PLANT
FOR VICTORY" WEEK
College Station, Mar. 4—WHERE-
AS, the attack on Pearl Harbor and
the involvement of the United States
in war has made it all the more im-
portant that the farmers of America
produce still more food than was
originally called for in the goals set
by the United States Department "f
Agriculture War Boards: and
WHEREAS, The war has made it
necessary to step up the original Food
For Freedom goals; and
WHEREAS, the farmers of Texas
are beinjf called upon to produce
more foods than they pledged to pro-
duce when the Food-For-Freedom
program was inaugurated; and
WHEREAS, the men in our arm-
ed services, the workers in our fac-
tories, and the American people as
a whole need plenty of food if they
are to fight on to victory; and
WHEREAS, the fate of the Food-
For-Freedom program depends to a
jfreat extent on what is done at
planting time;
NOW. THEREFORE, I, Coke
Stevenson, Governor of the State of
Texas, do hereby proclaim the week
of March 1 through March 7 as
PLANT FOR VICTORY WEEK in
Texas. I hereby call for the patriotic
cooperation of our citizens through
the State.
NEW BOOKS IN
RENTAL LIBRARY
Among the 35 new books on the
Rental iLbrary shelf is the book of
the month, "Army Doctor" by Eliza,
beth Seifert. Miss Seifert's book,
"Young Doctor Galahad" won tho
$10,000 novel prize.
In her book "Army Doctor" we
find a very modern novel. It tells
of a young M. D., Paul Saunders, who
had been practicing for several
years and was doing very well. Then
he was drafted into the army. Val-
uing freedom and individuality above
everything else he had to live amidst
regimentation and discipline—with-
out question. Hating war, he had,
never the less, to contribute his
share of preparation for a war that
is to come closer every day. He even
has to take orders first as a soldier,
second as a doctor.
He soon finds there is plenty of
excitement in practicing medicine in
a mobile trailer unit Lieut. Paul
Saunders is friendly and the boys all
like him. Then the blonde wife of a
captain begins to provide diversions
and—danger. The spirited red-hair-
ed Major's daughter proved more
than mildly provocative and Pauls
best friend is a forbidding rival for
her attention. What it all added up
to for the young doctor makes Eliza-
beth Seifert's most timely and ab-
sorbing stories.

HEALTH UNIT
BEGINS PROGRAM
OF IMMUNIZATION
Due to inadequate sanitary facil-
ities for the increased population of
the county there is greater possi.
bility of disease spreading among: the
people. In order to protect all resi-
dents of the county from these un-'
necessary diseases, the Travis-Bas-1
trop County Health Unit started an i
immunization piogram on Wednes-
day in the Bastrop school. Immuni-
zation for typhoid, diphtheria anu
smallpox will be administered.
Dr. Harold A. Wood, Director ot
the Bi-County unit is most anxious
that the typhoid immunization be ad-
ministered, this being a milk and wa-
ter borne disease.
Individuals who have not had this
protection by their family physician,
or are not contemplating doing so,
are urged to contact Miss Fay Lock-
hart, local county nurse, for this safe
guard.
The goal for complete immuniza-
tions for all individuals, especially
the school children, should be May
1, National Child Health Day, so
proclaimed by the President of tha
United States.
At a later date immunisation pro-
gram will be schedule in all schools
of the county.
The office in the Bastrop County
court house will be open each Satur-
day morning from eight to twelve
for this free service.

COUNTY FARMERS LAY PLANS
FOR CONSERVATION
Plant more acres to peanuts, but
don't forget essential conservation
practices, H. A. Taylor, chairman,
count USDA war board, told Bastrop
county farmers this week.
"Fighting: in the Pacific has cut
off shipping, so for the fiist time in
history we must produce our fats
and oils," the chairman said, but
pointed out several precautionary
measures Bastrop county farmers
should follow in growing peanuts.
"We must keep an eye on our wa-
ter eroskm problems at the same
time we're doing a job for Uncle
Slam. Two important practiecs are
farming on the contour and using
proper amounts of fertilizers. Use
150-300 pounds of commercial fertil-
isers high in phosphates, and all a-
vailable barnyard manure," Mr. Tay-
lor said.
Other practices include protection
of vegetative residue from fire and
grazing, and seeding sudan, cane or
mitive grasses or sodding bermuda in
unprotected drainageways or washes,
he said.
"If drainageways are not protected
by native vegetation, leave it because
it prevents erosion," the chairman
pointed out.
In addition to these practices, Mr.
Taylor said one of the following al-
ternative practices should be carried
out as further safeguards again it
water erosion: follow peanut* by
winter cover crops of adapted leg-
umes, such as vetch, bur clover, and
Austrian winter peas, or small grains
or, grow peanuts in alternate contour
strips not to exceed 100 feet, or one
terrace interval in width, with eros-
ion resisting crops such as crotalari:.,
velvet beans and cowpeas. To secure
rotation, the chairman said position
of strips should be shifted.
"The o'her alternative practice is
disturb residue, grass and weeds as
little at> possible during harvest oper-
ations," the war board official said.

SELECTIVE SERVICE
GOVERNMENT TO CURE
REGISTRANTS WITH T. B.
Steps were taken today toward the
physical rehabilitation of all Selec-
tive Service registrants in Texas who
have been rejected for military ser-
vices because of active or inactive tu-
berculosis, General J. Watt Pago.
State Selective Service Director, an-
nounced.
"To the Nueces County Tubercu.
losis Association, with headquarters
and principal clinic at Corpus Chris-
ti, goes the credit for taking the lead
in a proposed state-wide program for
providing free medical attention for
all registrants who have been rejected
by their local bolards or by the Afimy
Examining Boards because of tuber-
culosis. With proper care and medi-
cal attention, a large percentage of
these men could later be added to this
Nation's supply of manpower for
military purposes. And our country
needs every man!"
General Page said that the -Nueces
County Tuberculosis Association,
which is staffed by volunteer physi-
cians and has one ful-time nurse for
home calls, will work with the Local
Selective Boards of that county and
with the State Health Officer in its
rehabilitation program.
Tuberculosis associations and clin-
ics in all other Texas counties, Gen
eral Pagre said, are urged to contact
their local boards and offer the':*
services in this laudable work.
"Registrants, on their part, .should
realize their obligation for duty to
their country and should avail them-
selves of every possible means to
make themselves fit to serve. It is
recognized that some of these mrn
cannot be cured to the extent of
qualifying for military service, but
certainly they owe it to themselves
and to their families, as well as to
the betterment of the general hoalth
i of this State, to apply for medics!
treatment," the Director declared.
It will be required that all infor-
mation furnished by local boards to
bona fide tuberculosis association.1'
or clinics cooperating in the program
shall be held in strictest confidence.
General Pajre added.

CIVLIAN POSITIONS OPEN WITH
ARMY
"Persons having valuable trade
tiaining or experience, who are not
acceptable for military service are
notified that they should communi-
cate at once with the manager of th
district office of the Civil Service
Commission at iNew Orlear.s," wa.-.
advice contained in a message from
Col. Kinzie B. Edmunds, District Re-
j cruiting Officer, to the sub-sitation
recruiting staff located in the Post
Office in Austin.
"Many applicants for enlistment
will be found to exceed the military
age limit or have minor physical de-
fects, which would not handicap them
in civilian positions. Many also will
be interested in some specialized
crafts or professional services where
their training and experience can be
used.
"Vacancies exist for men experien-
ced in aernoautics, radio, engineering,
ordnance, machine operating, mech-
anics, toolmaking. shipfitting and
other war-winning jobs. These per-
sons are now urgently needed to fi'l
positions in military and naval es-
tablishments both within and outsid •
the U. S.," Col. Edmunds explained.
