Blessing Works
Long And Late
For Pony Game
The Blessing Redbirds have been
working long and late this week
preparing for their most import
ant tilt of the year at Blessing Fri-
day night against the powerful
Mustangs from Markham. The Mus-
tangs, coached by Ilermoine Mc-
Daniel, are expected to furnish
plenty of power against Coach Fred
Nibling’s Blessing Redbirds.
Handicapped by sprains and
bruises before last week's game
with Lolita, which Blessing took
easily, 42-13, the Redbirds are ex-
pected to be in top shape Friday
night.
Triple-threat Bill Dannols, quart-
erback and captain along with Ralph
Guynes nnd Jimmie Hallmark, will
probably start as the backfield trio,
while Spies and Lilley at ends and
Rickaway at center will probably
get the nod to start, according to
Coach Nibling.
Lilley is still suffering from a
sprained knee nnd ankle, but is ex-
pected to see some action in the
Markham game.
This game will be the fourth con-
ference go for each team. Both have
won all conference games thus far.
The winner of this one will be the
potential winner for this half of
the district.

Milk and Egg Production
Governor Stevenson
Proclaims Defense
Savings Stamp Week
November 3rd to 11th has been
proclaimed by the Honorable Coke
Stevenson, Governor of the State
•of Texas as Defense Savings Stamp
■and Band Week in all of our 13,791
schools and colleges in Texas. As a
great army they will move forward
with one accord to revive the Spirit
of '76—the Spirit that made Amer-
ica great.
The Spirit of '76 made possible
those great privileges you stress so
loudly today—Freedom of Speech,
Freedom of the Press, and its con-
tinuation will be perpetuated only
by the boys and girls of today that
are prepared and protected for to-
morrow.

Mutngorda County farmers have
been asked to do their part in the
“Food-For-Frcedom” campaign by
increasing their production of milk
by 1,285,000 pounds and eggs by
58,000 dozen in 1942.
Tentative production goals sot for
the county were announced by the
Matagorda County USDA Defense
Board as follows:
14,135,000 pounds of milk, in
crease of 1,285,000 pounds over
1941; 635,000 dozen eggs, increase
of 58,000 dozen over 1951; 10% in-
crease over 1941 in number of hogs
for market or to be slaughtered on
the farm; 18',; increase in number
beef cattle marketed; 1,400 increase
in farm family gardens; 20,300
acres increase in corn; 8% inerqase
in feed grains; 200 ncres increase
in vegetables for sale; 130 acres in-
crease in sweet potatoes for sale;
6'/, increase in sheep and lambs.
“These goals are minimum rather
than maximum goals," Mr. Hickl,
chairman of the county board, point-
ed out. “Perhaps the farmers of the
county can produce more than
enough to meet the goals. If they
can, then thnt’s all to the good. The
County USDA Defense Board will
consider the goals, which were sub-
mitted to us by the State USDA
Defense Board, and if the local sit-
uation seems to warrant increasing
the goals or if it seems necessary to
reduce some of them, then we will
do so.”
"The principal factors to consid-
er in setting the goals,” the board
chairman said, “are the actual pro-
ductive capacity and outlets in the
county.” "It is important,” he point-
ed out, “that the State Board and
the Secretary of Agriculture know
definitely just how much produc-
tion of the needed foods can be ex-
pected.”
“We have been promised that the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
will use its powers to maintain fair
prices for the products needed in
the Battle of Food,” the chairman
declared. “Production of these foods
is important—just as important as
winning battles on the sea and on
the land. I know that Matagorda
County farmers will do their part
in the produetion of the greatest
food crop in American agricultural
history.”
The County U. S. D. A. Defense
Board will meet in the near future
to study the tentative production
goals for the county. From that
meeting will go a report to the
State Board stating the goals as
agreed upon by the county group.
From now until November 1

Modified Plan
For Induction
Now In Effect
A modified plan for induction of
trainees under the jurisdiction of
the Texas Selective Service will be
placed into immediate effect with
the Army’s most recent call for
1375 men, it was announced today
by General J.'-Watt Page, State Se-
lective Service Director.
The new system has the approval
of the War Department, General
Page said, and will reduce almost
entirely the uncertainty with which
registrants have heretofore been
faced during the period between the
local board examination and the
date set for induction. A major ad-
vantage also in the new plan is that
registrants will be given ample op-
portunity to make final arrange-
ments in their financial and other
personal affairs.

dent of the Brazoria County De-
velopment Association at a recent
