Mrs. Geo. B. Parkhill writes
from Bridgeport, where she and
Mrs. Bert Black are on a fishing
trip, that Lake Bridgeport's high
waters have forced her to move
her cottage to higher ground. Mrs
Parkhill ownes a cottage at the
lake. She had the cottage moved
to higher ground and repainted
last month when the lake filled to
overflowing.
Last week she had it moved a-
gain to higher ground, as the lake
water continued to rise during the
heavy rains. Mesdames Black and
Parkhill are expected home this

It is a record that speaks high-
ly for the work of the patriotic
citizens who are serving without
pay as members of Selective Ser-
vice boards and as examiners and
advisors, and also to the credit of
our state as a whole. It is more
heartening to aU Americans to
konw that this spirit of coopera-
tion for National Defense prevails
throughout the country, for, ac-
according to information from Na-
tional Headquarters, more than
4,000,000 registrants now have
been classified with only a compa-
ratively infinitesimal number of
appeals from the decisions of Sel-
ective Service Boards."
At the same time, GeneraTPage
said, the Selective Service System
is anxious to make certain that all
registrants, their dependents and
others interested in their welfare,
have opportunity to obtain review
of any classification they consider
unjust.
"There is an obligation." he
said, "upon all members of the Se-
lective Service System who com.?
in contact with the registrant to
make certain he understands, not
alone that he has the privilege of
appeal but also when he must do it
and how he must do it. We cannot
afford to permit registrants who
want to appeal to lose their oppor-
tunity because they do not under-
stand the what, when and how of
so doing. While we do not want the
appeal machinery clogged up with
claims of those who merely seek
to delay their induction, it is
equally important that no regis-
trant be inducted until he has had
ample opportunity to exercise all
his legal rights."
Any registrant, or his depend-
ents or others interested in his
welfare. General Page said, can
obtain full information concerning
his right to appeal a classification
by consulting his 'local- board,
government appeal agent or advis-
ory board for registrants.
Relative to . the informa-
tion given out above on-the num-
ber of registrant classified and the
numbers of appeals taken from
such classifications, the Local
Board of Crosby County has sent
out 519 questionaires. 480 of which
have been classified, and no ap-
peals have been taken to date or.
the decisions of the Local Board.)

tion of the market for wheat
growers themselves, says W. C
Gray, Crosby County wheat far.
mer artd chairman of the County
AAA Committee.
The marketing quota insures
plenty of wheat for every probable
demand by consume: s in this
country and abroad, G.ay said. A
quota on wheat may b2 proclaim-
ed only when the total supply ex-
ceeds a normal year's domestic
consumption mid expoi ts by more
than 35 percent. With exports
practically shut off by mi'.itaiy j
blockade, Gray reports that there1
will be almost 2 bushels of wheat
on hand for every 1 w.iich is like-
ly to be consumed this year in the
United States.
In view of this supply,, market-
ing quotas are necessary to pro-
tect the income of all wh3at far-
mers, Gray declared. In fact the
last 2 years, the wheat program,
principally the loan, has held the
United States wheat price 30 to 40
cents above the world price. How-
ever, on the face of the large sup-
ply in prospect for the coming
year, the loan needs the added
protection of the marketing quota
he said. Because loans on an un-
controlled surplus would involve to
much risk, they are proh'bited by
law when a wheat marketing quo.
ta is voted down.
If the quota is approved, farm-
ers will be able to sell without
penalty all wheat they raise on
their acreage allotments. The far-
mer who has seeded within his
acreage allotment can sell his
wheat just as he always has, said
Gray. He is also eligible for a
Government loan on all his wheat.
The farmer who overplants his
allotment may store the wheat
produced in excess of the quota.
If he sells or uses it a penalty
will be collected. If he stores it he
can get a loan on the excess, but
at a lower rate than that avail-
able to the cooperator.

Prospective trainees were warn-
ed today by General J. Watt Page
State Selective Service Director,
against subscribing to "deferment
or exemption insurance."
"It has come to the attention of
State Headquarters," General
Page said, "that swindlers an?
operating in Texas, and particular-
ly among colored registrants, sell-
ing for a cash fee policies or pa-
pers which are purported to insure
the registrant against military
training, or to procure for him de-
ferment of service under the Se-
lective Service Act. It is reported
that some of these racketeers are
impersonating army officers, and
in one instance investigation de-
veloped that a colored 'sergeant'
was threatening hesitant vietima.
•fctfth induction into the army on 'a
moment's natice."
General Page pointed out that,
with the exception of ministers
and students of divinity, there is
no such thing as an "exemption"
under the Selective Service Act
and that local boards alone have
the authority • and responsibility
for determining whether a regis-
trant may be deferred from mili-
tary training. He said:
"Registrants are cfiaaslfied ac-
cording to their numbers and when
the time comes for classification
of a registrant, his ease win be
given separate consideration
his local board in accordances
the provisions of the Selective Ser-
vice Act and Regulations. There Is
no way which exemption or defer,
ment may be purchased for any
price or consideration whatso-
ever."
Registrants were urged to
resort^ immediately any lnatanog
of this nature, together with ail
evidence collected, to his local
board or to a United States attar*

Man With Suspended
Sentence for Feloncy Is
, Still Eligible for Draft
A man convicted of a felony,
but who receives a suspended
sentence, is still eligible for induc-
tion into the military seryice if
otherwise subject to the Selective
Service Act, it was anounced at
State Headquarters recently.
General J. Watt Page, State
Director, pointed out that this rule
applies in those cases in which the
stffipended sentence is still pending
as well as in those cases in which
the suspended sentence has been
set aside.
"All Texas Selective Service
boards have today been instructed
to check their classification record
an to reclassify and induct in
the order numbers all registrants
heretofore placed in Class IV-F as
felons who come within the pur-
view of this ruling," General Page
said. — - : _ ^

1 TO OUR MOTHERS
By Geo. W. Coker
Mother Dear, as the day that is
Mother's Day approaches, is nere.
and gone, forgive us if we seem
forgetful of you, for it is just that
the worries and duties of life are
so many that we are so undemon-
strative in pur,) low? for you.
When we pus you with a nod
and a wave of the hand, It does
not mean that our love for you is
locked away in a secluded cornet
of our hearts, only to be called
forth on special occasions.
We know that you have made
our life and happiness possible;
your love and teachings are a
shining light by which, kin,d and
gentle daughters, and strong, no-
ble sons, may steer their course in
life. We love you, mother, and
our love for you is second only to
our reverence of God.
If you are gone, mother, memo-
ry of you still dwells iii our hearts
and always shall, and as we face
the future may the influence of
your teachings, and our sacred
memory of you, slow our unheed
ing haste, and overcome our re-
serve and selfconsciousness, and
turn our footsteps toward the al-
ter of God, Justice, and good fel-
lowship towards all men.
And if you are with us still, we
ask you, mother, to lend us your
knee again, so that we can pray,
and you can bless and help us
with the stroke of your hand on
our head, and your whispered
words of encouragement. And as
we rise blinking back the tears,
may our hearts be filled with de-
termination to continue our life
in honor of you, our souls, our
country, and our God.
