Blanton Heads
Committee For
Sixth Bond Drift
With the selection of mayors over
the county as general chairmen, the
county war bond committee announced
goals this week, assigning Carrollton the
job of selling *51,000 for the Sixth War
Bond drive. Mayor J. C. Davis was sent
instructions for the selection of chair-
men to carry out the program of raising
Carrollton’s part of the county quota.
L. F. Blanton was chosen chairman of
the drive here, and to assist him he has
selected:
G. F. Isom, Mrs. Marion Good- Burnett
Perry, Rev. John Boehmer, Mrs. Beck
James, M. S. Roach, Mrs. Gladys Kelley
and O. F. Godfrey.
During the Fifth Drive, Carrollton
sold more than *80,000 in bonds, much
•if it in large denominations. The *51,0011
must be sold, Mr. Blanton says, and a
large part of it must be sold in *25 and
*100 denominations.
These volunteer workers will ‘call on
you sometime during this ampaign, he
continues, and they are buying bonds
as well as selling them. So. cooperate
with them in every way possible. It is
YOUR job to help put over this drive.
The national fund needs *51,000 from
Carrollton, else they would not have
asked that amount. You have heard re-
ports in the news of the day of the im-
portance of money in this war, and you
know, too, that you cannot relax now
and let the war take its own course. It
everyone does that, the war will take a
course we are fighting desperately tfl

Like Jointer Snake,
Man’s Dissected Thumb
Grows Together Again
Loss of a thumb is not necessarily a
tragedy. So believes Pat Morrison, an
employee of the W E. Grace Manufac-
turing Co. of Dallas.
Lact week, Morrison got overbalanced
while cutting a piece of metal for an
asphalt heater, and let his left thumb
get caught in the metal shears, shearing
it completely off just below the first
knuckle joint, he says.
Pat says he Vjked up his piece 01
thumb and went immediately to Dallas
Medical and Surgical Clinic. Doctors
there placed the thumb back in position
and bound it in place. Tuesday Pat wen?
bade for examination and says the bone
is knitting nicely, since he has feeling in
his thumb when pricked with a pin.

Climaxing an undefeated season, in
which only one conference score had
been chalked up against them, Lions
fought an exciting, though losing, battle
in the mud here last Friday night and
their opponents, the Garland Owls, left
with the district championship for the
third successful year to their credit.
The rather discouraging score of 30 te
0 does not mean that the. Lions didn’t
put all they had into it
Carrollton’s is a good team. The Car-
rollton high school is die smallest in
the district, thereby having relatively
fewer men from which to choose a
team. In spite of the fact that there
were few return lettermen this year
they made a remarkable showing in the
district games and produced some of the
best players 'n this section. Colwell, as
chief carrier of the ball, became an out-
r anding star, as did “Baby Blimp” Led.
erman, who stopped many an enemy’s
prized play.
Billy Williams. "Blondie” Salmon, Mc-
Inris, Hilton. Richardson, in fact, the
team was the star, fot it was teamwork
that took the Lions to the district play-
off. Each game produced outstanding
men and plays.
Colwell started the season by starring
in the Diamond Hill game. Jack Rich-
ardson returned a Richardson punt for
a touchdown and stood out all the way

IN AUTO ACCIDENT SUNDAY
Charles Day and Benny Day and Ben-
ny Skipworth narrowly escaped serious
injury Sunday afternoon when the car
in which they were riding struck a cul-
vert near Addison on the Belt Line
ro8d and turned over.
Charles, driver of the car, said they
were meeting another car and to avoid
a collision had to leave the road and
the wheels in the soft siding threw the
car out of control and into the culvert.
Both boys suffered slight bruises and
the body of the car was completely
wrecked.
during the Richardson set-up. The entire
team played exceptionally well against
Royce City and Colwell again stood
out against Irving.
Billy Williams played a great game
against Pleasant Grove and Hilton was
prominent for defensive play against
Grand Prairie. In reality, he saved the
day there, for when th* Gophers were
three yards from the goal line he threw
them back for a six-yard loss. Mclnnis
and Lederman were star fighters against
Mesquite; Salmon and Richardson when
the Lions met North Dallas and Moore
and Richardson led the plays in the
Sunset game.
A hundred and ninety points were
made by Lions during the now closed
season. Eighty were scored against them.
They entered Friday’s game with 92
difference points for them and only one
score of 6 against them, made by Mes-
quite on November 3rd. Now the tally
stands 92-36.

Plant at Richardson
WINSTON CHURCHILL JONES
SECURED AS MANAGER OF THE
NEW FROZEN FOODS SYSTEM
Opening of * modem 399-locker frozen
’O'a. locker system at Richardson w«
announced this week by T. G- Kelley,
owner. Work and planning has been to
progress for about a year, being delay-
ed on several occasions due to difficulty
in obtaining certain priorities and pro-
per materials.
The Country Store, a modem food
store and meat market, was op-ned sev-
eral months ago to be operated in con-
junction with the locker plant. Winston
Churchill Jones will be in charge of the
Richardson plant, and Charlie Reddick,
former owner of a grocery store in the
location of the Country Store, will also
be an employee.

get their meat proessed for winter use.
the locker system was opened without
ceremony or open house, Mr. Kelley
raid.
Builder of First Texas Plant

ated locked plant in Texas here in Oc-
tober. 1937, opening just two or three
days before opening of a similar plant
in Corsicana. Kelley states that to his
knowledge the plant here is the only
plant south of the "Mason-Dixon line

a vital war material, he says, and since
beginning of the national emergency,
no plant has been installed for its use.
Plants already in operation on Freon

have been permitted.
Kelley has been in the grocery busi-
ness in Carrollton for the past 13 years.
