Black Market
Talk On Anti-
Freeze Heard
While there Is a threat of a
black market in the field of
anti-freeze for cars in some sec-
tions of Texas and Oklahoma
near Denison, it is not believed
that it will be operating here.
Already the matter is being in-
vestigated at Durant for any jiuch
signs by officials from the OPA,
it is declared. J. D. Steakley, a
former Denison man, operator of
the Chevrolet agency there, and
chairman of thia Bryan county
war price and rationing board,
says that he has been advised by
the district office that uncon-
firmed reports of a black market
danger in that locality have come
in. Some of the popular brands,
it is reported, are selling at $5
per gallon when the ceiling price
is $2.65.

subject to price control and

Season Hazards
For Health Are
Revealed by Cox
Austin, Texas. — Seasonal
health hazards for young chil-
dren are to be guarded against
in the wintertime just as care-
fully as they are in the summer-
time in the opinion of Dr. Geo.
W. Cox. State Health Officer.
"Every mother is familiar with
so-called summer complaints
which affect small children hut
certain winter diseases oan be
just as harmful and are just as
likely to make their appearance
unless proper precautions are
used,” Dr. Cox said.
In the group of winter dis-
eases Dr. Cox included influenza,
tonsilitis, pneumonia, bronchitis,
asthma, and even diphtheria when
a child has not been immunized.
•Any such disease affecting n
child’s respiratory or breathing
system is apt to be very serious
and only too often fatal. Pneu-
monia often develops from a
neglected cold or may follow a
severe ease of measles or whoop-
ing cough. Bronchitis condition
may also prove to be pn after
effect of these diseases and
thiese respiratory ailments are
much more difficult to combat
successfully than the digestive
ailments which are prevalent in
the summertime and known as
summer complaints.
“These winter diseases are
especially dangerous to babies
and very yoimg children,” Dr.
Cox stated. “Nearly all of them
are spread from the secretion?
of the nose and mouth. Children
not in vigorous health are natu-
• rally more susceptible to these
complaints and the first line of
defense against them is to
strengthen the child’s power of
resistance against diseases. Dr,
Cox advised. “The second step
is to keep them under medical
supervision and the third is to
make sure that they avoid con-
tact with those who have coughs,
colds, or fevers.”
Two different social security
account numbers might decrease
and could never, increase benefit
payments. Excess cards should be
returned to the nearest field
office of the Social Security
Board.
____V--
Omission of an employee’s ac-
count number on a social securi-
ty tax return may jeopardize
that employee’s assurance of re-
ceiving full credit for all of his
wn}rp0 when a claim is filed by
him or his family.

^TpO CONSERVE raw materials, equipment, fuel and man-
X power, your government asks that you not be wasteful of
services and products vital to the war effort. Electric service is one
uf those vital services. The nation’s war production industries,
producing vast quantities of war materials, its great Army camps
and training centers, must have an adequate and dependable sup-
ply of electricity. In civilian life, too, electric service is important
•n maintaining morale on the home front, bringing conveniences,
leanliness, safety and savings in time and money Because electric
ompanies, during peace times, planned and built ahead for emer-
gency as well as normal requirements, there is plenty of electricity
or all needs. Therefore, you are not asked to do without the elec-
ricity you need for normal living. Use all you need, but use it
wisely... without waste. You are not asked to do without the use
>f your lights, radios and electric appliances... but simply to
urn them off when you are not using them.
In a recent radio broadcast, Mr. Donald Nelson, Chairman
if the War Production Board, said: "In the months ahead, we
have to produce on so vast a scale that our fighting men will he
able to deal such smashing blows that Germany and Japan will
have no other choice but to follow Italy in unconditional sur-
render. But that means that all of us here on the home
front must fight waste of all kinds, must conserve
everything \ital for war to increase the supply for
our fighting forces.”
