First Cotton,
Load New Corn
Come In Wed.
Mrs. Bryant Misses
County Distinction
By One Day
The year’s first bale of cotton and first
load of new corn arrived in Carrollton
Wednesday of this week, Mrs. Maude
Davis Bryant of Farmers Branch just
missing having the first baled cotton in
Dallas county.
The cotton arrived at the North Texias
Gin at 11:30 Wednesday, but the day be-
fore C. Harp Rice of near Garland had
delivered a 370-pound bale to the Dallas
cotton exchange. Both were earlier by
two weeks than the first bale of 1942.
Mrs. Bryant’s bale weighed 450 pounds
and was sold at 21c a pound.
Mrs. Bryant has several times been
the first one to deliver a bale here, al-
though a Mr. Howard of near Walnui
Hill had that distinction last year. She
says this is the earliest she has har-
vested a bale in six years, when she
brought in one or* August 1.
R. E. Good, manager of the gin, states
that in spite of repairs and clean-up
work, they were ready for the bale and
the season will begin steady in about
two weeks if the dry weather continues.
The first load of new com was de-
livered at the Carrollon Feed Mills by
P. W. Junker of near Hebron. It was
bought for the ceiling price of $1.16
a bushel. #
L. F. Blanton of the feed mills says
this com crop is three weeks earlier
than any he has heard of in at least
twelve years.
HEALTH OFFICER SAYS
BE ROUGH ON RATS
Reports coming into the State Health
Departfent indicate the presence of ty-
phus fever in almost all sections of the
state without any particular apparent
regard to city or rural population, ac-
cording to Dr. Geo. W. Cox, state
health officer.
In Urging full cooperation from all
commiinities in a campaign to extermi-
nate rgts and thus control the possible
increasing incidence of typhus, Dr. Cox
said, “It must be kept in mind that the
rat acts as reservoir of the typhus germ,
'and the rat flea is the means by which
typhus is transmitted to man. Rats are
known to travel many miles from one
community to another, and it is there-
fore dbvious that it will be necessary
to conduct a vigorous rat extermination
program over the entire state.”
Dr. Cox recommends a four-point ex-
termination program in addition to the
already widely used poisoning campaign
which he asserts will assure more than
temporary typhus control. This program
includes making all food stuff inacces-
sible to rats through proper garbage
storage, collection and disposal; rat
proofing homes, business and public
places; keeping at least two traps set
and baited in every home which is not
rat-proof and proper educational mea-

Women who are fighting the Axis
with war bonds, pressure cookers, and
sharp hoes will report their progress at
a war-time convention of the Texas
Home Demonstration Association sche-
duled in Dallas August 17-19. “The
Battle on the Home Front” will be the
theme of their meeting.
Plans for the convention were made at
a recent session of the executive com-
mittee held in Dallas. Executive mem-
bers predict that approximately 300 dele-
gates of (he Association’s 48,000 will
some to share their ideas, despite the
pressure of work on the farm and in
the farm home.
The convention will be streamlined in
accordance with war demand# ... no
banquets or elaborate entertainments.
Speakers will be drawn largely from
the Association’s membership, and one
feature of the program will be a pa-
geant portraying the Association’s activi-
ties during the last year.
Enough Floor Coverings
Smooth durable linoleum and printed
floor coverings are being produced in
substantial quantities to meet the great-
ly increased demand. WPB has reported.
Used in new housing projects and in re-
conditioning old buildings, smooth sur-
face floor coverings save lumber, nails,
and labor, and contribute to sanitation.

GARY COOPER
STARS; NEW SPY
SERIAL BEGINS
The romance of a famous athlete and
a typical American girl is the real-life
basis of “The Pride of the Yankees,”
now showing at the Plaza.
Cooper portrays the noted New York
Yankee ballplayer, Lou Gehrig, whose
untimely death from paralysis ended
one of the most inspiring careers in
modedn sports annals. Millions of Ameri-
cans knew of Gehrig’s amazing exploits
on the diamond but very few knew the
man himself, or of his courageous
struggle upward from poverty—and
this is the human “behind the scenes”
story of the former janitor’s son and
the Chicago girl he married.
Opening with Gehrig as an eager
eleven-year-old playing baseball on the
vacant lots along Amsterdam Avenue ir
New York, the picture reaches a dra-
matic conclusion on the memorable
“Leu Gehrig Day" at the Yankee Sta-
dium in 1939 when an army of fans gath-
ered for their hero’s farewell to the
game he loved.
Teresa Wright plays the loyal wife and
Walter Brennan appears as Gehrig’s
sports-writing sponsor, while Babe Ruth,
Bill Dickey, “Bob” Meusel and other
noted ballplayers portray themselves.
New Serial
Canada’s famous “Mounties” spring to

Several friends have graciously sent
flowers to little Doris Ray, but he can’t
have them.
These flowers are deeply appreciated,
says Mrs. Johnson, but the doctors at
the hospital have advised against flowers
being taken to the isolation ward. Mrs.
Johnson asks that all who would like to
send flowers, send Doris Ray a card or
letter instead. The doctors were of the
opinion cards and letters would cheer
him up and thus speed his recovery.
Miss Earlyne Marsh of Dallas spent the l campaign
week-end with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Marsh.
A first case of poliomylitis in Carroll-
ton placed new emphasis on the city-
wide clean-up campaign which opened
here Monday when Dr. J. M. Pickard,
county health officer, spoke to a large
group of interested residents at the Bap-
tist church.
This special campaign is sponsored by
the City Council and the local Garden
Club, of which Miss Irma Sincler
president. 1 j
Dr. Pickard discussed general precau-
tions against infantile paralysis and ad-
vocated that all children be kept at
home altogether and given plenty of
rest. Exhaustion is dangerous when com-
ing in conact with a polio germ.
Earle W. Sudderth, county sanitary
engineer, was also at the meeting. He
talked about methods of sanitation, and
in regard to outdoor toilets he advised
doing away with them completely.
Where this is impossible they should be
kept disinfected with a milk of lime
solution.
Block leaders were designated at the
meeting and throughout Carrollton in-
formation sheets were passed out Tues-
day giving advice about the present
epidemic and details each person is to
do in this campaign that should prove a
preventive against this disease. Tin care
should be brought to the pens; weeds
cut; ditches and vacant lots cleaned; hen
nouses, garages, bams and outdoor toi-
lets as well as under houses should be
cleaned; lime, rat and roach poison
should be put out Yhd all trash and
garbage should be gathered and placed
in front of the house by the 13th of the
month, when county trucks will pick it
up.
A form was also included that is to be
filled out and returned to the leaders
as a thorough check on what has been
done.
Following the meeting Dr. Pickard
and Mr. Sudderth met with the City
Council and planned further details of
Old-Age snd Survivors Insurance is

by the worker and his employer. Bene-
fits are figured entirely on the amount
