territory than in the past and
it, being permanent, can ex
pect to get more products to
conserve.
The record for the past year
shows that 260 people have
come here with producs to be
cared for. A total of 109,961
cans have been processed.
There have been nineteen per
sons employed, and the payroll
of $941 per month adds con-
siderable to the purchasing
power of the people in this sec
tion of the county. They can
an average of 700 cans per
day. They work five days per
week. All this adds up to a
considerable importance for
both the people employed, and
to the people who need the ser-
vices of the cannery, and to the
business interests of the com
mumty.
It will be, of course, a small
industry when they build a new
and permanent home for the
cannery and it may not be pos
sible to have it grow to some
thing large immediately, but
with the beginnings as above
outlined we look for it to grow
some when it is more perma
nently established in a home
of its own.

The W. M, U , of the Union

First Steps Taken
Farmers to Organize
The first steps tovfard the
organization of the Farmers
into the proposed Texas Agri-
cultural Association were tak
en at a meeting held in the
Cafeteria room of the Carroll
ton schools Tuesday of this
w'eek.
Glenn Gravley of Farmers
Branch was chairman for the
meeting and J. W. Fisher was
secretary. A. n. Jolley, county
agent, was r principal speak-
er and he outlined the aims
and the desires of the farmers
and gave ideas as to what
could be secured if proper or-
gai ization were made.
Several farmers made short
talks. Guy Dennis, chairman
of the county board of the
AAA, was one of the speakers.
E E Ledbetter, one of the
best posted of our farmers on
the tariff question, explained
to the gathering what the
lariff meant to the cotton
farmers jn keeping them from
the markets of the world.
There was much interest
displayed in this meeting and
the proposition of organizing
the proposed association met
with great favor. J. W. Fisher
was appointed as the provision-
al secretary to take applica-
tions for membership and the
$2 fee needed in the organi-
zation, and is to make report
on progress made at a date in
the near future. The small
sum of $2 for the organization
is not considered out of line
with the good that it is hoped
the association can accomplish.
There is to be u county meet-
ing of farmers from all sec-
tions of Dallas county on Oct.
25 and 26 at which time it is
hoped to perfect a county as-
sociation. Exact time, and the
place of holding this meeting
will be announced in these
columns next week, it is hoped.

Golden Jubilee Fair
Is a Great Show
The Golden Jubilee celebra-
tion of the State Fair of Tex-
as is a great celebration and a
great Fair. The show started
off last Saturday with an
Editors Day, on which occasion
the Editors of the newspapers
of the State were guests of the
State Fair management. Din-
ner was served their guests in
the former Black Forest con-
cession and then the editors
were turned loose to see all of
the new and varied attractions,
and the wonderful exhibits
gathered for this, the 50 ieth
celebration, of Texas’ Big
show. There was • football
game on in the afternoon be-
tween Oklahoma U, and the
Longhorns of Texas University
and the majority of the editors
went to the Cotton Bowl to
see the scrimmage. The Okla-
homa Sooners turned in a nice
13 to 0 score to win the honors;
something they had been un
able to do in many previous
years. This was not entirely
unexpected because the Sooners
had already defeated Rice
which was considered to be the
outstanding Texas team of this
season.
After the game there was a
genera] scatterment of editors
and they were all over the
grounds for a few hours, but
they got together rapidly
enough at night to see the Ju-
bilee Follies of 1938. The
Auditorium has been put back
in its former condition and the
Follies was a show to bring
back the old-time prestige of
State Fair shows. It was a
show that any of you will ap
predate. We heard many of
the folks as they left the audi
torium state that it was, to
their way of thinking, the best
show that has been put on by
the Fair management since its
inception. Well, anyway> it
suited the tastes of the people
who were in attendance and
they were loud in their praises
for the Follies. Many observ-
ers said they thot that half the
show was as good as many
full shows they had witnessed.
The doggies were great.
“Happy” and his ventriloquist
dad---and mother with her
baby--were a scream. The
pair on their way to Hollywood
kept you wondering what they
could possibly do next to sur-
prise one. Violet Time was a
show in itself. Well, we shall
not enumerate more, but will
say that if you can possibly
see this Jubilee Follies you will
be giving yourself a treat.
The grounds are more beau-
tiful than ever before. The
buildings are full of exhibits.
The Midway attraction? are
many and varied. The Agri-
cultural show is up to the
times, and worth more than
just a passing glance. Bel ter
see the Golden Jubilee State
Fair. See it soon.
Carrollton Chronicle ?1 for 1 year.
It's to be on Nov. 4 and we
are looking for the largest
crowd to be present on that
occasion that has ever gather,
ed on Carrollton school
grounds. It should be the day
of days for former Carrollton
school students and they
should take advantage of this
one day accorded to them to
gather on the old grounds and
meet the boys and girls of
yesteryear.
Committees are planning
events to entertain and amuse,
are planning parade and float*
for the parade, planning to
have time and opportunity for
you to meet and mingle with
those whom you have not seen
in years, those with whom it
would be a great pleasure foy
you to spend a half hour of
hour In recounting the day*
now passed.
Then again Carrollton want*
you to see the many change!
which have taken place and th*
growth which it has been poa>
sible to achieve in the year*
that have passed.
It is hoped to have promt,
nent men of the state and
county to come to Carrollton
and address the gathering!,
It is planned to have a foot*
ball game between the lower
grade students, and then it is
planned to have the stellar at-
traction in football at night
when Lancaster will disput#
with Carrollton on the $10,000
lighted field for the honors of
the game.
The Carrollton band ii mak.
ing a real go*d showing right
now with just a few weeks of
practice and by Nov. 4th they
hope to be able to do credit to
their instructor, Mr. Kiethley,
and the school.
Attend Pre-View of
New 1939 Chevrolet
J. T. Vandergriff and his
salesmen from Vandtrgriff
Chevrolet Company returned
yesterday Horn Fort Worth
where they attended the pr!«
showing convention held for
Chevrolet dealers and salesmen
for their section of this State.
At this meeting, R, W. Hill,
Southwest regional manager,
and H. Wilson, Dallas zone
manager of Chevrolet Motor
Division, discussed the plans
and policies for the coming
year and after viewing the new
1939 Chevrolet which was on
display, Mr. J. T. Vandergriff
and his organization state that
they are even more optimistic
about their future business
than they were before leaving
the meeting.
J. T. Vandergriff stated that
there are many advanced im-
provements in the 1939 Chev-
rolet especially in appearance,
economy and performance and
that he is anxiously awaiting
October 22nd when he will be
in a position to start making
actual delivers to the buying
