A THANKSGIVING DAY PRAYER
“0 most merciful Father, who has blessed the labors
of the husbandman in the returns of the fruits of the
earth, we give Thee humble and hearty thanks for this.
Thy bounty, beseeching Thee to continue Thy loving
kindness to us, that our land may still yield her increase,
to Thy glory and our comfort, through Jesus Christ, our
Lord.”
Government Non-Defense Spending
Is Holding To Depression Levels
The fact that government non-defense spending is holding to depres-
sion levels at a time when employment nnd national income are ap-
proaching record highs, is a biting reflection on Congress.
It will be remembered that Secretary Morgenthau said some months
.•ago that the normal cost of government could be cut by #1,000,000,000
a year. Other authorities have estimated that reductions of $2,000,-
■ 000,000 or more are possible and pracical.
The. difference between government non-defense economy and con-
tinued prodigality, may prove to be the difference between a solvent and
a bankrupt government in the future. Is Congress so preoccupied with
“good politics” that it has totally forgotten the meaning and the obli-
gations of “good government?”

U. S. Allocation Holds Texas
Oil Output Down, Newspaper Says
i- Texas oil producers are being penalized heavily by the U. S. bureau
of mines and by state compliance with the bureau estimates, it was
.shown this week by a national business report of Dun and Bradstreet.
This weekly trade review showed that the final week of October,
'the daily acerage crude oil production in the United States rose fiom
:S,449,450 barrels to 4,098,000 barrels. That was an increase of 648,-
S50 barrels a day.
Now Texas already has been penalized. It has 54 per cent of the
nation’s known oil reserves; yet in thp past four-year period it has been
cut back from 49 per cent of the nation’s production to 39 per cent.
It would be natural to expect that Texas would enjoy its share of
the increase in October. But facts were that Texas proration, holding
actual production below the U. S. bureau of mines figures, reflected
virtually no increase at all.
J^^ndfor November, when the bureau loosened up enough to grant
TerasiTfflUJBO-barrel increase—and state proration orders followed up
this change—it left the fields of the rest of the country producing 614
000 barrels more oil; Texas 34,000 barrels more. That is, Texas, with
over half the nation’s oil, was getting only five per cent of the increa c.
This policy of restricting Texas production cuts Texas down, en-
courages other states to produce more unprorated oil; causes the U. S.
bureau estimates to sag for Texas, to rise for the other fields; it cuts
off Texas’ oil expors, and it encourages aboth the shipment of more
South American oil to Great Britain and greater imports of South
American oil to the refineries of the United States. Editorial in Austin

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
Thanksgiving Day services are
held by The Mother Church. The
First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Massachusetts, and its
branches throughout the world. The
order of service includes the read-
ing of a Lesson-Sermon on the topic
of “Thanksgiving.” Opportunity is
also afforded those present to give
testimonies of gratitude appropriate
to the occasion.
• The Golden Text is: “Offer unto
God thanksgiving; and pay thy
vows unto the most High; and call
upon me in the day of trouble: I
will deliver thee, and thou shalt
glorify me” (Psalms 50:14,15).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and
he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God him-
self shall be with them, and be their
God” (Revelation 21:3).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage fiom the
Christian Science textbook. “Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip-
tures” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“Truth's immortal idea is sweep-
ing down the centuries, gathering
beneath its wings the sick and sin-
ning. My weary hope tries to real-
iz. that happy day when man shall
recognize the Science of Christ and
love his neighbor as himself,—when
he shall realize God’s omnipotence
and the healing power of the divine
Love in what it has done and is do-
ing for mankind” (page 55).

F. B. I. To Hold
New Schools
For Officers
More schools for training law en-
forcement officers in the art of
civilian defense were announced by
Ray Abalicchio, special agent in
charge of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation in Houston.
Four schools will be held at dif-
ferent times in the area, supervised
by the Houston F. B. I. office, he
said. The first will be in Houston
from December 8 through 13; the
second at Beaumont, December 15
through 20; third at Corpus Christi,
March 2 through 7; fourth at Gal-
veston, March 9 through 14.
The work covered includes inter-
nal security, spot map maintenance,
air raid reports, coordination of
war emergency work, police com-
munications, traffic control and
blackouts, convoys, protection of
property and public utility services,
protection of police prsonnel, gas

Boy Scouts Are
Collecting Paper
For U. S. Defense
The Boy Scouts of this commun-
ity are in the midst of an intensive
effort to collect waste paper for use
in national defense. Waste paper is
the principal raw product used in
the manufacture of paper board
boxes, which now are sorely needed
for packing defense materials.
Cooperation, therefore, in mak-
ing waste paper available to them
will be appreciated by the Boy
Scouts as well as the nation. It is
not the purpose of the Boy Scouts
to usurp the territory in which
social agencies have been or are
now making collections. The Boy
Scouts will attempt to locate sources
of waste paper untouched by these
agencies. Attic, barns, and places of
similar nature are likely places to
find these old papers, boxes and
magazines that Boy Scouts will
welcome.
This activity on the part of the
Scouts is not a new thing, emer-
gency-born. Many Boy Scout troops
have financed their annual program,
including equipment, for many years
through the sale of waste paper col-
lected by the boys. In the present
campaign Boy Scouts will sell the
paper they collect through the regu-
lar waste materinl outlets. The pro-
ceeds will be used by the Troop for
a worthy cause within its own runks
or in the community.
When you help u Boy Scout find
waste paper in your home you are
helping your country as well as
your local troop.

Tropical magic, catchy Cuban
rhythms, wnrm-bloded senoritas,
dnrk-eyed romeos. . . neatly com-
bined in the story of the “sing-sa-
tional” new 20th Century-Fox musi-
cal, “Week-End in Havana.”
It’ll be at your favorite theatre
soon and this department warmly
recommends it if you want to sit
back and relax comfortably in your
seat and really be entertained.
'“With Alice Faye, Carmen Miran-
da, John Payne, and Cesar Romero
in the starring roles, the film is set
in the capital city of our Latin-
Amcrican neighbor and shows Ha-
vana with all its beauty in the nat-
uralness of technicolor.
Alice, who recently married Phil
Harris, in Galveston, portrays a
New York salesgirl who has care-
fully budgeted herself for several
years to treat herself to a Ha-
vana vacation. When her ship is
caught on a reef, she refuses to
sign a release to the shipping
company until she has had—and
enjoyed—her Havana vacation.
The company’s representative,
John Payne, postpones his wed-
ding to make sure she has a grand
time.
In a magnificent Havana night
club, exqtic Carmen Miranda does
a spectacular new number with 200
feminine dancers—“The Nango.”
Also in the cast is society-bred
Cobina Wright Jo., who recently
wed a sergeant, or was it a cor-
poral ?
Ilona Massey’s
Ten Best List
Gets Featured
Ilona Massey is the latest Holly-
wood star to think of a “10-best”
list. But it isn’t the customary cata-
logue. It’s a list of the ten things
that in her opinion and experience
the United States has or does or
gives better than any other country
in the world.
The blonde actress who is starred
in the Edward Small picture, “In-
ternational Lady,” showing at the
Hollywood Theatre, Wednesday and
Thursday, says that she has found
the United States to be tops in:
1. The right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
2. The privilege of having and
expressing an opinion.
3. The right to travel ■across 3000
miles of continent without a visa or
a police permit.
4. Ice cream sodas, hot dogs and
orange juice.
5. American radio programs, the
most varied in the world.
6. American motion pictures, the
most entertaining in the world.
7. American designers, who have
made the American woman the best-
dressed in the world at moderate
cost.
8. American good-neighborliness
and generosity.
9. A standard of living which lets
no one starve,
10. The one gift of America which
only Miss Massey can enjoy—her
American husband Alnn Curtis.
