THE MERIDIAN TRIBUNE
PAGE THREE
HERE’S THE CALENDAR FOR
THE CANDIDATES
Texas’ election year, officially
started on January 1 when candi-
dates started filing their filing fee
with the chairman of the state ex-
ecutive committee, does not get
into full swing under the statutes
until mid-year, according to a cal-
endar of dates compiled by Ernest
Boyett, secretary to Governor
Coke Stevenson.
The first date for candidates to
remember, is June 1, which is the
deadline for filing for candidates
for state offices and for district
offices which are,, composed of more
than one county. June 1 falls on
Monday and the following Mon-
day, June 8, the state committee
meets to prepare the state ballot.
Saturday of that week, June 13, is
the latest day for county and pre-
cinct officers to file, and on Mon-
day, June 15, county executive
committees meet to determine the
order of names on the ballot and
estimate the expense of elections.
Last Day
June 20, according to law, is the
last day for candidates to pay their
assessments for the ballot, and
June 22 the primary committees
meet to prepare the ballot.
During the period from June 25
through June 30, candidates must
file the initial statement of their
campaign expense. Absentee vot-
ing begins on July 5, and during
the period July 13 through July
17, the second statement of cam-
paign expenses must be filed.
Voters who have changed cities or
precincts must get their voting
privileges straightened out by July
21 with the tax collector, and July
22 absentee voting ends.
First Primary
The first democratic primary is
July 25. Coincident with the pri-
mary are two of the most disre-
garded dates: (1) county clerk
or chairman shall notify Secretary
of State by telephone or telegram
of the unofficial tabulation of re-
sults as soon as possible after the
polls close; and (2) election judg-
es to deliver copy of official re-
turns to county ^chairmen within
24 hours after ballots are counted.
Three days after the first pri-
mary, candidates must file up-to-
date expense accounts with the
secretary of state or county clerk.
On Aug. 1, county committees
meet to canvass results of the first
primary, and select delegates to
the state convention. Absentee
voting for the second primary
opens August 2, and August 4 is
the last date for filing a final state-
ment of first primary campaign
expenditures.
Canvass Votes
On August 10 the state commit-
tee meets to canvass the results of
the primary in all state and district
elections.
August 10 also is the first day
for filing a second statement of
campaign expenses; candidates are
allowed four days. Absentee vot-
ing ends on August 19, and the
second primary is on August 22.
The next big date for politicos is
September 1, when the state con-
vention is scheduled. Then on
October 14, absentee voting starts
for the general election, extending
through October 31; and the gen-
eral election is on November 3.
Clerical Work
This about cleans up the election
I year, but there’s still clerical work
to be done — on November 9, the
county commissioners’ courts must!
meet and canvass returns and the
county judge must certify these
returns to the secretary of state’s'
office. On November 18 the state
election board meets and officially
determines what everyone already
knows from reading the newspa-
pers—the results of the election. !
There’s still another date before ;
the governor and lieutenant gov-!
ernor can officially take office; the |
result must be certified by the Leg-
islature. The 48th legislature J
meets on January. 12, and one of j
its first duties is to count the votes
which already have been counted.

from hand-culled, blood-tested

Worrying Is Sabotage
I “Indulging in worry and spread-
I ing gloom is a form of sabotage,”
| Doctor Geo. W. Cox, State Health
I Officer, said today in commenting
on the necessity for cheerfulness
and courage in face of our national
crisis.
Doctor Cox asserted that failure
to rise and meet our difficulties
with determination and cheerful-
ness will undermine our national
strength more seriously than can
the enemy acting from without.
“It has been proved in industry
that a gloomy, worried mental
state is conducive to accidents, and
the President has issued a procla-
mation declaring the reduction of
accidental injuries as essential to
national strength,” Doctor Cox
stated.
“Your State Health Department
stresses a warning against worry
that is carried to the extreme. If
you notice a growing tendency to
worry, try by the exercise of your
own will to stop this futile, de-
vitalizing habit,” he urged.
Doctor Cox pointed out that
these are troubled times, and it is
natural that we should feel con-
cern about national affairs. It is
one thing, he pointed out, to feel
this concern and do whatever we
can that may be constructive in
solving our difficulties, but it is
worse than folly, he added, to
abandon ourselves to the ravages
of worry and fear.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES SAVE TIME FOR DEFENSE WORK
With our country engaged in its most gigantic war effort of
all time, patriotic women everywhere are eager and anxious
to do their bit. Busy as they are with the cares and respon-
sibilities of their homes and families, they are devoting
many hours to working for the Red Cross... training
for civilian defense . .. cooperating in the food conser-
vation program ... knitting and sewing ... and oth-
erwise assisting in the national defense program.
Electrical appliances are helping them meet the
increasing demands upon their time by speeding
up housework and releasing time and energy that
would otherwise be spent in slow hand work,
r By using their appliances wisely, but not
wastefully, they are able to make the most of
each day and contribute a patriotic service
to their country. In the home, as in indus-
try, electricity is on the job, helping to
pave the way to victory.

Next time you’re ready for feed,
remember this—When you have
the grinding done here, and buy
the supplement from us, we do the
mixing free.
We have scientific formulas for
poultry, dairy and hog feeds that
have been worked out for this
section. We use Purina Balancers.
If you want lots of eggs, milk or
pork—let us grind and balance
your grain.
In our personal opinion, the best time to buy
baby chicks is in January, February and March.
Your early cockerels will then bring a higher mar-
ket price, and your pullets are in production for the
highest price on eggs which is in September, Oct-
ber and November.
