LONG BOYS BOTH
SERVE OVERSEAS
Corporal Sammie Long and Pfc Cic-
ero Long are the sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Sam Long of Carrrollton, Route 1.
They are both at present serving over-
seas.
Both boys are well known here, Cic-
reo having been graduated in 1940
from Carrollton high. He then attended
Draughon’s Business College and was
employed at the time of his induction
by the government. He entered train-
ing at Fort Riley, Kansas in July of
last year, serving in the cavalry for a
time then being tranferred to the med-
ical corps. He was sent overseas and
as now attached to a Hdqs. company
serving in Belgium.
Sammie entered service in May of ’42,
training for some time at Camp Wolters,
then being sent to Washington, D. C.
He went overseas in November of last
year, serving in strategic service in
India. He wrote that he had had tne
unifue experienc of flying over the
Hump.
At present Sammie is stationed in
China. His wife, Mrs. Irene Long, is

ters in the Assembly Area Command.
Driving their convoy on the flanks
of the Ruhr salient in April, the
company set up its equipment in an
iron foundry at * Wolf grub and was
servicing troops closing the pocket and
driving eastward the same day.
After 16 days of constant operation,
the men moved with the First to
Wetzler, Germany on the main supply
route where they broke production
records, turning out over 100 heavy
trucks, trailers and weapon carriers
every 24 hours.

Barkley, Texas, April 1944, under
the command, of Captain Jerome S.
Sampere. 34 May Street, Poughkeepsie,

ing at various Army automotive bases
in the US before eneraining overseas
from Camp Bowie, Texas.
Members of the company include:

mmui LESTER COMES HOME ON
MBMCAL DISCHARGE FOR WOUNDS
Harold Lester, husband of Mrs. Lois
Lester of Coppell, returned last wfeek
after landing in New York September 5
from a year's fighting in Eurove.
He was given a medical discharge
after being wounded during heavy
machine gun and artillery fire in Ger-
many. He had served three and a half
years.
The Lesters have three children, one
bom while he was oversow*.
to lungus disease called smut. Under
favorable conditions the diseases often
cause reduced yields and further loss
from dockage when inleuted grain is
marketed. Accordingly, Miller urges
farmers to thoroughly clean and treat
their planting seed unless they are
certain that it is free from infection.
Wheat is affected by two types of
smut disease. Stinking smut can be
controlled readily by fanning the seed
wheat or cleaning it by other methods
to remove the smut balls, and t then,
treating it with either two ounces per
bushel of ethel mercury phosphate
called “improved ceresan.”
The grain may be treated in a com-
mercial seed-treating machine or in a
homemade container with a tight fitting
lid. An oil drum with a pipe soldered
, diagonally across it and extending about
one foot from each end to permit it to
revolve easily will do the job. For small
amounts any type of container will do.
The important thing is to get the pow-
der well distributed over each kernel
The other type, called loose smut, can-
not be controlled by chemical treat-
ment. The best safeguard is to use
seed known to be uninfected.
Barley and oats smut can be controlled
by treating the seed with one-half
ounce per bushel of improved ceresan.
Another approved method is to mix
one pint of commercial formaldehyde
with 10 gallons of water at 80 to 78
degrees temperature. Sprinkle the solu-
tion uniformly oyer 40 .to 50 bushels

GAME IN GARLAND
* Garland, September 5—The Garland
Owls Region 4 champions for the past
two years were scheduled to blast the
tid off '45 football when they met the
Masonic Home Masons on the Garland
field.
The game attracted large interest
over Dallas county because of the
record of the Masons in past years and
the fact that M. S. “Fannie” Roach,
former coach at Carrollton, is now in
charge of the Mighty Mites.
A fast game was expected, the light-
ness of the elevens pointing to a wide
open offensive frey.

AUSTIN, September 14—Better check
up on your drivers license. Under the
impetus of mounting traffic fatalities,
the Department of Public Safety is
about to begin a vigorous enforcement
campaign against unlicensed drivers,
Director Homer Garrison warns.
“This in’t a red tape or revenue
proposition,” Garrison said. “We are
tryjbig to keep people from being
maimed and killed.”
Estimating that Texas now has 250,-
000 drivers who either have no licenes
or whose licenses have expired, Gar-
rion said:
“The deliberately evasive person is
likely to be dangerous, either because
of known incompetence or, in the case
of many new residents anr new rrivers
dangerous because of Ignorance of
Texas safety laws.
“Of those who have expires licenses,
probably a considerable number have
developed defects defects or attitudes,
or records of traffic violation and ac-
cident, that give them cause to fear
examination.
“(X course most delinquents are mere-
ly lazy' or negligent.
“But whatever the reason, the im-
pressive facts remain that 15 per cent of
drivers cause 85 percent of collissions,
and unlicensed drivers figure in more
than their share of them. As traffic
volume and fatalities continue to in-
crease, the citizen’s obligation to com-
ply with regulatory measures likewise
increases. We are headed for a toll of
ten lives lost daily to traffic in Texas,
and it will require drastic action to
hold the figure that low when post-war
traffic gets into full swing.”
SQUAD WORKS OUT
IN FULL GRAHAM
CAMP SCHEDULE
It was a most pleasant trip, Coach
Davis and 25 of the ’45 gridiron boys re-
port, referring to the Graham Football
camp last week. They stayed from
Monday afternoon until Saturday morn-
ing, transportation being provided for
in the form of a school bus.
The usual day’s schedule at the camp
began at 7, when they got up. Break-
fast was at 7:30 and lasted until 8.
Then they returned to quarters, the
Junior High gym, made their beds
and cleaned up. At 9 on went the uni-
forms and there was workout from then
until 11:30, when they got ready for
12:00 to 1:00 lunch.
Until 3:30 they rested and had play
practice at headquarters and after that
till 6:00 uniforms were donned again
for the second workout. Again, from
6:30 until 7:30 they ate and until 9:30
the boys enjoyed off-period, when they
went to the shows and carnival.
At least once daily there was a
scrimmage against Graham, which is
a AA class team and was splendid train-
ing for both groups.
On [Friday night, the 7th, the two
teams scrimmaged under the lights and
Graham scored winner—20 to 6.
Following is a list of the boys making
the trip:
Harold Lederman, G. A. Salmon,
Thomas Hill, Willafd Freeman, Laveme
Stringfellow, Arthur Ewing, Kenneth
Parent-Teachers Open
Membership Campaign
Parent-Teachers inaugurated the new
school year Monday morning with an
initial bi-monthly meeting in the lion's
den of the grade school.
The president, Mrs. Jack Pfcrkey,
spoke and a membership drive was
planned to last through October.
Dale Davis, new coach said principal
of high school, gave a short talk to
Mclnnish, John Griffin, Jack Richard-
son, J. D. Ogle, Harold Hilton, Almon
Carloy, Bob Reed, Billy Joe Stringfel-
low, Talmon Scales, Ed Slaughter, Jim-
my Brake, Melvin Allen, Richard Dev-
ereaux, Alan Bishop, Charles Smith,
Frank Marcom, Truman Clem, Gene
Lewis and Charles Curtis.
Probably the outstanding boys at the
fall camp were Lederman, Hilton, Rich-
ardson. Salmon and Odgle, Mr. Davis
says. Salmon and Mclnnish were elect-
ed co-captains by the football group
for the year.
Davis expressed appreciation in be-
half of the boys and himself to coop-
erative business men, who made the
summer camp workout possible.
Notebook, Pigskin
Herald New Season
Of Com’ity Interest
Pencils and notebooks and schedules,
rain and football and an air of late
season, fall . . .
Four hundred and eighty-eight stu-
dents registered this week at high
school and grade school, the number
being equally divided. However, those
entering Carrollton high is increasing
more rapidly than in the grades and
there are now 250, 90 of them freshmen.
The faculty is practically complete,
with the exception of one in grade
school and two in high school. In the
grades Mrs. Wallace, who holds a MA
degree in elementary education ahd was
formerly county agent of Smith county,
is temporarily taking the third and sub-
s.ituting. School Superintendent K. L.
Turner is expecting to engage a per-
manent teacher this week. Late cancel-
lations due to shortage of housing fa-
cilities caused the vacancies.
In the high school a Vocational Ag-
riculture teacher is needed, H. G. Vick
having resigned, and also either a math
teacher or a commercial instructor.
Mr. Turner expressed the belief that
these would be employed at an early
date.
The difficulty with teacher employ-
iment here is the same as in previous
years—Housing Facilities.
GRID OPENER
In the recreational field of the new
year a husky squad is practicing after-
noons and nights, working out for that
first win tonight against Diamond Hill.
Kickoff is at 8:15.
Carrollton and the Diamond Hill boys
tied in their game last year, which
was also the season’s opener. Score
was 19-19 and the Fort Worth team
