Seven Licenses
For Explosives
Issued By Scott
I Seven licenses for handling
! explosives have been issued to
i date in Nolan county under reg-
' illations for the control of ex-
i plosives and their ingredients
! in the time of war or national
j emergency.
i The regulations that prevail
: during wartime are more rigid
and far reaching than those dur-
i ing normal times and, accord-
ing to fi. M. Kintz. U. S. Bureau
| of Mines official in Hie Dallas
| office, affect many places of
I business that otherwise would
j not come under the licensing
act.
Licenses are issued hero
through Uie county clerk’s of-
fice and L. W. (Doc! Scott said
the licenses issued until today
1 were: Four for foremen; two
i for purchasers; and one for
vendor of firework-.
Generally, as set forth in a
pamphlet issued by the bureau
j of mines, handlers of any of
the following articles must Ob-
tain permits:
Ammonium nitrate, fireworks,
flashlight powders, fulminates,
nitro,starch, nitrosugar, ammon-
ium picrate, picrates, picric ac-
id, and others not included in
this partial list.
It appears, under the
rules, that any store handl-
ing any of the above ar-
tides would come tinder the
licensing rule. If this is true
then most drug stores would
h- required to obtain licens-
es.
Laboratories handling explo-
sives are also required to ob-
lain permits. There is a special
analylst's-educalor’s-inventor’s-in-
vestigator’s license which, appar-
ently, would apply to commer-
cial laboratories as well as to
school laboratories.
The only exception to the rule
is one which says that ingredi-
ents 'a small quantities (one
ounce o less) not irtended for
the manufacture of explosives do
not require licensing.
11,500 Victory
Loans Made To

ROPY, May 2 — (Spl.) —

tory of tlie Farm Security Ad-
ministration by lov Income farm
families and small operators for

loan funds, according to word
received here this week by
Hoace D. .Gilmore, rehabilita-
tion supervisor with offices in
the Chevrolet building, Roby,
Texas.
"Although all-out Food for

I lie continued, “new Farm Secu-
! lity loans cannot he made until
j congressional action lias been
completed in appropriation for
the new fiscal year, beginning
July 1st."
To assist the nation’s war ef-
fort, the FSA had introduced
a new loan program known as
tlie Food for Victory Joan pro-
gram. This was handled in ad-
dition to the regular rehabilita-
tion program. Food for Victory
loans were available to extreme-
ly low-income and part-time far-
mers who were not immediately
eligible for the agency’s regular
loans.
Approximately 1500 of the
special Food for Victory
loans have hern made in
the West Texas and New
Mexieo urea served by the.
‘Amarillo FSA office. The
regular FSA rehabilitation
loans are serving thousands
of other low-income farmers
in this same area.
Indicative of the all-out Food
lor Victory efforts of local fur-
available prior to July 1st, loan
applications can still be accept-
ed for immediate action when ap-
propriations are completed,”
said Mr. Gilmore. “In the mean-
time, every effort will be made
