Soldiers Send Money By Radio
American soldiers overseas ex-
cept those in Alaska, Hawaii, Pan-
ama Canal Zona, and Puerto Rico
may now send money home by radio.
In a recent week more thnn 9,000
soldiers sent nearly $1,000,000, in
amounts of $10 or more, with no
maximum limit. Money may be
transmitted to an individual payee,
or to a bank. The process is speedy
and sure. If a soldier desires to do
so, he may also purchnsc war bonds
by this method.

f*o Corn For Liquor
Corn ennnot be used for Aanu-
facture of distilled spirits and high
wines, a recent directive of the War
Production Board says. The action
was taken to conserve stocks of
corn for essential purposes, al-
though the amount of corn saved
is likely to be small because dis-
tillers already had shifted largely
to the use of wheat.

No Cotton Quotas For 1943
The War Food Administration, on
recommendations of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency, has an-
nounced that there will be no mar-
keting quotas for the 1943 cotton
crop and that no quotas will be in
effect for the 1944 crop. On July
1, farmers were cultivating about
8 million acres less cotton than the
acreage permitted in 1943, and
about a million and a half fewer
acres than they were cultivating
on July 1, 1942.

Rollback Of Vegetable Prices
Effective July 20, a rollback of
about 25 percent in the price of
lettuce and 50 percent in the price
of cabbage was ordered by the
OPA. This was the first step jn a
program to cut back the excessive
prices of fresh fruits and vege-
tables to keep the cost of living
down.

More Community-Wide Prices
OPA will continue to establish
community-wide prices on foods sold
at retail, even though it )ias re-
cently issued over-all fixed mark-
up regulations. The housewife can-
not easily tell whether a storekeep-
er has made his prices by the mark-
up method, and that is the reason
OPA will proceed with community-
wide maximums.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
We of the Baptist Church will be
back in our Church for Sunday
School and all other services on
next Sunday. Do not forget the
hours: Sunday School at 9:45 and
Morning Worship at 10:45 and in
the evening; Training Union at
7:45 and Evening Worship at 8:30.
To all Sunday School Teachers
who read this: It would be wise to
contact as many of your pupils as
possible between now and Sunday
morning and to remind them that
we will be back home next Sunday
for our Sunday School. The same
would be wise for the Training Un-
ion Workers.
Next Monday afternoon at 3:30
a group of workers from several
Churches will meet at the Metho-
dist Church and go from there out
to the Civilian Camp near Camp
Hulen on a Good-Will Tour. We
want to meet the folk out there and
to invite them again in our
Churches. We are not going in be-
half of our own particular Churches
but in the interest of friendship
and religion but at the same time
inviting all of those who are out
there to come in to worship and to
fellowship with us who are of the
Churches of Palacios. We know that
many who live out there are al-
ready our friends and many belong
to our congregations already but
we will visit them never-the-less.
So come along to the Methodist
Church next Monday at 3:30 P. M.
and join in with the others who are
going on this Good-Will Tour.
Free bus transportation is to be
furnished for those from, the Civil-
ian Canip who wish to attend the
Churches in Palacios. The Bus will
make its first run Sunday morning
August 1st at 9:30. You will be
hearing more about this from you
Church announcements.
The Budget Committee of our
Church will meet soon and lay the
financial plans for the coming
Church Year which begins on the
first Sunday of September. This
date will soon be here and plans
need to be completed before that
date.
We have been greatly enjoying
the Texas Baptist Encampment
even though one runs from early
morn ’till near the midnight hour.
Every thing is fine except the
mosquitoes.

No. 2 at 9 A. M. His message will
be “The Strategy of Grace.” At

Plans have been perfected by the
Pastors and Ministers Association
to make an intensive, visitation of
the Trailer Camp and Housing Pr o-
ject on next Monday afternoon. A
large number of volunteers will be
needed from each church in order
to make the visitation effective and
accomplish the purpose in one after-
noon. Those who will assist are
requested to meet at the Methodist
Church, Monday 3:30 P. M. Trans-
portation will be furnished.
The Session of this church will
meet at 3:30 Sunday afternoon at

is extended to any in these groups
to attend all the activities of this
church.

Lawrence M. Greenhaw, Pastor
While we are approaching the ob-
servance of an anniversary birth-
day of our Grand Old Church, we
also do well to pay attention to the
services of certain individual mem-
bers of this Church.
Not every pastor has the blessed
privilege of serving with a man
who after 95 years, instead of
dreaming dreams of a world long
since gone, is seeing visions of a
world in a better tomorrow. That
has been the very happy privilege
of this pastor through an acquaint-
ance with Bro. H. L. Delaplain.
Born September 7, 1848, in Wis-
consin, this grand old man has liv-
ed in half a dozen states of the
Union. While he has lived in half
a dozen states, his horizon and out-
look has been and still is world-wide
in scope.
Probably no pastor ever refers to
a translation of the Bible later than
King James’ version without a
mental tremour: “I wonder what
old person is going to challenge this
after the sermon.” Recently in us-
ing such a reference, what was this
HEALTH NOTES
AUSTIN.—Reports coming into
the State Health Department indi-
cate the presence of Typhus Fever
in nlmost all sections of the State
without any particular apparent re-
gard to city or rural population ac-
cording to Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
In urging full cooperation from
all communities in a campaign to
exterminate rats 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. Rnts
are known to travel many miles
from one community to another,
and it is therefore obvious,” Dr.
Cox said, “that it will be necessary
to conduct a vigorous rat extermi-
nation program over the State.”
Dr. Cox recommends a four point
extermination program in addition
to the already widely used poison-
ing campaign which he asserts will
assure more than temporary Ty-
phus control. This program includes
making ail food stuff inaccessible
to rats through proper garbage
storage, collection and disposal; rat
proofing homes, business and pub-
lic places; keeping at least two
traps set and baited in every home
which is not rat-proof and proper
educational measures.
In discussing the educational
measures, Dr. Cox pointed out that
since the Typhus Fever Rat is
known to inhabit practically every
section of the State it will neces-
sarily take state-wide cooperation
to exterminate the pest. In order
to do this the public must become
adequately acquainted with the
habits of the rat and the various
effective control measures that may
be applied.
Dr. Cox stated that the State De-
partment of Health has available
motion picture films on this sub-
ject and that the Department has
also issued a bulletin outlining ro.
dent control measures. “This bulle-
tin will be mailed free upon re-
quest,” Dr. Cox said, “and the films
may be had for public showing upon
application through local health
units.”

and friends and the civilian per- pastor's surprise to have this 95
year old prince bring the trunslu-
tion of Lansa a Persjoan who speaks
the Arabic language, with the
statement: “I hope you get as much
from reading this translation as I
do.”
Many times has reference been
made from this pulpit of the pos-
sible post-war world, when after-
wards further suggestions were
added by this Layman, suggestions
in advance of those of 95 per cent
of the inhabitants of this part of
the world. I suppose this is natural
for a man who reads so volumnious-
ly and listens so much to the really
educational, religious and cultural
programs of the air. Again and
again this Layman in Church
School, or after a sermon, or on a
visit at the parsonage after a two
mile walk from his home in the
country, refers to some program or
article in a national magazine worth
hearing or reading regarding a new
world in which men and women are
going to live tomorrow. And all
this from a man who next Sep-
tember 7 will be 95 years young.

With the idea in mind that there
would alway be a shortage of mer-
chandise in our store unless we go
out to buy it, we leave town again,
just when we should be writing this
little column, to buy what we can,
and what you need.
In rushing out the front door we
can’t help but being amazed at the
large line of souvenirs, on the west
display racks, the new song sheets,
magazines, and other items such as
cosmetics.
We still pride ourselves in that
big line of ever-changing styles of
ladies dresses, boys and men’s
shirts, and other wearing apparel.
From the hardware shelf to the
button racks the Ben Franklin Store
has it—if it is available. We hope
to have several other critical items
for sale in the near future.
