Texas public schools through train-
ing in national defense courses have
sent 2333 workers into war indus-
tries daring March, the U. S. employ-
ment service reported. Workers com-
pleting courses offered under the di-
rection of the state board for voca-
tional education were selected by the
employment service and placed in in-
dustrial posts.
' Aid Asked for Bataan Men
Two fathers of soldiers on Bataan
have appealed to the American Red
: Cross to attempt to deliver medicines
and food to Americans trapped there
and on Corregidor. J. D. Perry, Sr.
and Frank Grimes, both of Abilene
urged haste in sending aid to Ameri-
can forces. “As fathers of sons on
Bataan, not knowing whether they
are alive or dead,” they said, “we ask
the American Red Cross if immediate
arrangements can be made to rush
food and medicines to our fighting
men now in the hands of the Japanese
either by sea or air.”
Guayule Planted In Pearsall Area
An acre of guayule plants has been

is eo-operating in growing the test.
Texas Plant to Produce Butadiene
Five oil companies in Texas are co-
operating in a plan to construct a
large plant in Texas to produce buta-
diene, basic petroleum material for
“making synthetic rubber. Location of|
the plant has not been definitely de-
cided, it was reported.
Farm Labor Shortage Foreseen
An alarming situation may develop
for Texas farms if farm labor con-
tinues to leave the state at the present
rate. Steps are being taken to inves-
tigate the migration of farm labor.
State Agricultural Commissioner J.
E. McDonald has advised farm
laborers to stay in Texas this year as
there will be plenty of employment
at home. He said he had reports that
extravagant offers are being made
to induce farm laborers to go to other
states on pretext that their labor is
vital to defense and added that Texas
agriculture is playing as vital a role
in the defense program as any other
state through its essential cotton,
feed, oil crops and vegetables. Texas
I. labor is needed in Texas to insure
|■ ' ' harvesting of these vital crops.
[ Texas Wheat Crop To Be Larger
In spite of smaller acreage and
damage by greenbugs, Texas’ wheat
| crop is expected to be considerably
larger than last year according to a
S. department of agriculture re-
port which said that a wheat crop 20
above average and 39 percent
than last year is in prospect

Good management ------
making money and then
some permananet benefit from it
enable farmers and stockmen to ma-
terially improve their financial posi-
tion this year, according to J. R. Tay-
lor, who attended a conference of ex-
ecutive committeemen of four Cen-
tral Texas production credit
tion in Marlin, April 8 and 9.
Giles, of Waco, Rt. 3, R. M. Jones, of
Clifton Star Route, and J. R. Taylor,
of Waco, represented the Waco Asso-
ciation at the conference.
The normal values figure for pro-
ducts—use of 5, 10, or even 20 year
average—was stressed as a safe-
guard against getting out on the limb
of inflationary prices. Such values,
they said, in most cases figure out to
be about the same prices as prevailed
in 1937.
This was one of a series of meet-
ings to be held over the state for dis-
cussion of methods to keep loans
sound while helping finance agricul-
tural war effort and meeting prevail-
ing cost conditions. It was pointed out
that the producer must consider the
higher cost of operations and also
bear in mind that the “normal values”
are the sound ones to be considered
by the farm and ranch family which
is in the business permanently.
Texas’ 36 production credit associa-
tions now have 18,606 members and a
total of $25,751,507 in loans outstand-
ing, a gain of 26 percent in member-
ship over a year ago and a gain of
38 percent in loans outstanding.
IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Bruce Barton, formerly Miss
Sallie Maye Lewis, was born to Har-
vey and Sarah Lillis Lewis, on Feb.
9th, 1868 near Round Top, Fayette
County, Texas. There she spent her
childhood, her parents moving to
Coleman, Texas when she was sixteen
years of age.
After completing her high school
education in Coleman, she attended
Howard Payne College in Brownwood
where she received her certificate as
a school teacher. After teaching
school in Bosque County for two
years she was married to Bruce Bar-
ton on Sept. 5th, 1893. To this union
four children were born, one son
dying in infancy.
The husband and the following rel-
atives are left to mourn her passing:
Lewis and Bailey Barton, and Mrs.
Kathrene Smoot, all of Clifton. Two
granddaughters, Gloria Jean Barton
and Carol Joyce Smoot; one brother,
Hugh Lewis, and two sisters, Misses
Kate and Verde Lewis, of Coleman,
Texas, and another sister, Mrs. Vesta
Risinger of Santa Anna, Texas, also
survive.
Mrs. Barton spent most of her
married life in Bosque County, mov-
ing to Clifton in 1926. She was a
member of the Searsville Baptist
Church, having united when her chil-
dren were small, and she lived a
consecrated Christian life all through
the following years until her death.
She made many friends with her
sweet, sunny disposition, and was al-
ways eager to help those in need. It
can truly be said of her that “she
went about doing good.”
She had been in failing health for
several years, though she became
seriously ill only two days before she
was called home at 5:30 a.m. Thurs-
day, April 9th, 1942.
Her funeral was held at the Clif-
ton Baptist Church at 2 o’clock Fri-
day afternoon, April 10th, 1942. In-
terment was in the Clifton Cemetery.
Rev. Gerald Trussell, pastor of the
Clifton Baptist Church, and Rev.
Arthur Loper of Waco conducted the
service.
The presence of many sorrowing
relatives and friends, and the beauti-
ful floral offerings bespoke the fact
that to know her was to love her. Let
us remember that our loss was her
great gain; hnd she is Asleep in
Jesus.
She Is Just Away
You cannot say, you must not say
That she is dead, she is just away!
With a cheery smile, and a wave of
the hand
She has wandered into an Unknown
Land. ‘
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must -be
Since she lingers there.
So think of her faring on as dear,
In the love of There as the love of
Here,
Think of her still as the same and
say:
|§ She is not dead, she is just away.

PLANS MADE TO PROVIDE
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE
AUSTIN—Supplying the need for
an immediate program of expansion
in the medical personnel available for
the Health and Emergency Medical
Service, Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, announced that the
United States Public Health Service
is offering reserve commissions to
physicians and dentists whose ser-
vices may be used to care for evacuees
in the event of enemy action.
Recruitment for those reserve com-
missions will be largely from older
age groups, from those of minor phy-
sical disability, making their in-
eligible for military service, and from
women physicians.
Doctor Cox, who serves as State
Chairman on Health and Emergency
Medical Service, pointed out that it
is essential that staffs for operating
base hospitals in safe areas be ade-
quately planned to go into immediate
effect, in event of disaster. “Caring
for the sick and injured in the event
of enemy action is a grave responsi-
bility, and no one has the right to as-
sume that we are immune from at-
tack,” Dr. Cox said. “Emergency base
hospitals in safe areas to which
casualties may be evacuated, together
with lines of evacuation, and means of
transport have been established in al-
most all sections of this state.”
Doctor Cox said that applications
for reserve commissions will be ser-
viced by his office, and pointed out
that while the commission covers a
reserve, inactive basis so that the
physician may continue service in his
community, nevertheless those com-
missioned will be subject to imme-
diate service in case of actual emer-
gency.

When « Child Need,
a Laxative I
SYRUP OF BLACK-DRAUGHT
is a tasty liquid that most children
will welcome whenever they need a
laxative. What’s more important, it
has the same main ingredient as
BLACK-DRAUGHT, its older com-
panion. Perhaps that’s why it usu-
ally gives a child such refreshing
relief from the familiar symptoms
which show a laxative is needed.
