Soldiers Retire In
Income for Life
Few persons in civilian occupa-
tions attain the position to retire
from active work on a salary equi
valent to that paid retiring sold-
iers of the Regular Army, Sgt.
William F. Lindsay, Army Re-
cruiter, declared here today.

"The Army's plan allows for re-
tirement at the qnd of 20 years
service at half-pay and three-
quarters pay after 30 years," Sgt.
Lindsay explained." "And many of
the 30-year men leave the service
drawing as much as $155.25 per
month, an income that will con-
tinue for the rest of their lives."
Sgt. Lindsay discussed retire-
ment benefits during his weekly
recruiting tour to Atlanta. He
comes here each Monday to see ap-
plicants for enlistment at Mt.
Pleasant, Texas.
"It is mighty comfortable to
know that you are going to re-
tire Bomeday on a substantial sal-
ary," Sgt. Lindsay said. "To get
the same retirement income in
civil life, we would have to save
and invest about $74,700, the War
Department statisticians figure.
There are not many men who can
earn and save that much money."

Vaccinate Your
Dog for Rabies
A drive is now being made to
have all dogs in the county vac-
cinated. During the late winter and
early spring months rabie increas-
es.
If all stray dogs were destroyed
and all pets vaccinated for rabies,
it would go far toward stamping
out this ustly feared fatal disease.
It is stressed that dogs suspected
of having rabies should not be
killed immediately, but should In-
stead be confined ten days for ob
servation to see if the disease deve
lops. If a dog sickens and dies dur
ing the observation period, the
head should be packed in ice and
sent to the State Health Depart-
ment for examination. Freezing the
brain, or killing the dog prema-
turely, or in such a manner as to
injure the brain may make cor-
rect laboratory findings uncertain,
if not impossible.
Authorities say that after a dog
is confined ten days and then kill-
ed, there is still ample time for a
victim of his bite to be treated
for rabies prevention, but he cau-
tioned that if the disease is found
to be present in the dog, the vic-
tim should then begin treatment
further delay.

Jimmy Duck Dies
Jimmy Duck, a brother of B. F.
Duck of Atlanta and Mrs. J. G.
Dell of Queen City, died of a
heart attack at his home near Jeff
erson last Friday afternoon
six-twenty.
Mr. Duck was well known
throughout this part of East, Tex
as. For the past 3 1-2 years ho
has been the County Agricultural
Agent for Marion County. Until
last September, he had been liv-
ing in Emory, but had been trans-
ferred in September to Jefferson
where he had bought a home.
Prior to his becoming County
Agent, he was engaged in school
teaching, having taught some 15
years.
He was an active member of
the Baptist church, having made
a profession of faith and joined
the church when he was 15 years
old.
He is survived by his wife, 2
sons, James Lee and Vonceal; 4
brothers, J. T. Duck of Linden,
J. W. Duck of Dangerfield, B. F.
Duck, of Atlanta, Texas; Aubrey
Duck of Texarkana, and 1 sister,
Mrs. J. G. Dell of Queen City.
His sudden deaeh was a great
shock to his family and friends,
who mourn the passing of a lov-
ing husband; a devoted father
and brother; a noble Christian
gentleman, and a fine citizen.
The funeral was conducted at
Union Hill Baptist church at three
o'clock Sunday afternoon with Rev.
Edgar Parker, pastor of the Duck
family in Jefferson, preaching the
sermon.
502 enemy aircraft, sank 48 ships
totalling 107,000 tons, and damag-
ed 83 other ships.
Her aircraft flew 6,993 sorties,
against the enemy, covering 230,-
000 miles.
The veteran carrier has been
"sunk" three times by "Tokyo
Rose", once off Saipan, again in
the Philippines, and finally off
Tokyo itself, yet the ship is now in
port, although she has lost 102
men when a suicide plane crashed
into her flight deck on October 30,
1944.
HOME TO STAY
Home to stay, oh what sweet
words,
The sweetest, my ears have every
heard.
My darling is home! I hope,
Never to leave again.
God only knows, how lonesome
These last two years have been.
I'll thank God each day,
| For sending him back to me.
I'm sure if we'll only try,
We will always happy be.
