Civilians At War
The Government needs and asks
its citizens in the I78th week of
the war to:
1. Stay in the fight against
wartime rise in prices. Inflation will
remain a danger until supply and
demand regain a normal balance.
Buy only what you need. Save your
money for the better products to
come after the war.
•2. Serve all the daytime hours
you can spare if you are a trained
Nurse’s Aide. Employ the training
the Red Cross has given you, thus
releasing registered graduate nurses
to use their special skills.

Mr*. R. L. Orr
Palacios citizens who remember
when Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Orr made
this their home, regret to learn of
the passing of Mrs. Orr at her home
in Rockdale.
Funeral services were held Sun-
day at the family home by Rev.
Frank Luker of the Methodist
Church. Mrs. Orr was a member of
cultural and religious organizations
here and continued active work in
such in Rockdale which has been
her home since leaving Palacios
about 25 years ago.
Besides the husband, who is in
very poor health, she is survived by
one daughter, Mrs. Burke Shanklin,
of Rock Springs, a son W. H. Orr,
iof Rockdale, a brother and two
sisters.
Mrs. Orr was an aunt of Mr. H.
Mrs. John A. Frazier, of Spokane,
Wash., was visiting friends and
relatives in Palacios last week. Mrs.
Frazier formerly lived here and will
be remembered as Miss Louise
Roach.
The Reliable Upholstering Com-
pany is now located in the Williams
building, 211 Fifth street, and Mr.
M. R. Thompson requests all his
customers to look him up in his
down town location.
Mr. and Mrs, Frank Autrey and
daughter, Joyce, of Angleton, visit-
ed Palacios friends last week end.
Mr. Autroy, formerly a member of
the Beacon force, is now employed
on the Brazoria County Review.
MILWAUKEE, WIS.—An ingenious man recently visited the
North Woods, which he had left 38 years ago, and found that the
lumberjacks Were handling pulpwood the same old way, by hand. Ha
began to figure out ways to speed-up the work of getting out raw
materials so desperately needed for making paper. His solution was
yery simple and the new equipment operates similar to a man's arms
when loading wood. *
, Two mechanical arms are pushed into the puipwaod. The top arm
comes down clamping the wood to the two lower arms. The entire
mechanism is then tilted back, lifting the two arms under the wood
to a 45 degree angle. The tractor backs away from the pile, lowers
the load onto two runners, which are pushed along to the place of
disposal. There the pulpwood is raised again, maneuvered to the
proper spot and loaded or dumped. The equipment is hydraulically
operated. Photo above shows the new type of loading equipment. The
inventor is E. A. Drott, president of the Drott Tractor Company and
the Hi-Way Service Corp., here, and an outstanding contributor to
the war effort.
