PLUMES FOR THE SPIRIT,
CLOTHES FOR THE SOUL
tla.ite'c
In this sober Easter parade of 1942,
let us wear our richest finery inside
—"plumes for the spirit, clothes
for the soul."
For only those who are able to
wrap themselves securely in the
garments of God can have the
strength to walk bravely and with
firm tread down ways that are dark.
We need today as never before
to renew our spiritual assurances
of Divine love and guidance. Go
to church Easter Sunday.

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cline, of
Lamesa, spent the week-end with
Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Raines and Mrs.
Grace Stanford.
According to E. R. Lawrence,
county agent, he has been called
upon to assist in informing the
producers and shippers of livestock
of the immediate necessity of con-
serving stock-car equipment.
Anticipating a substantial in-
crease in the rail movement of
livestock caused, first, by the re-
duced use of trucks on account of
the rubber shortage, and second,
by the expected increase in pro-
duction, the Interstate Commerce
Commission issued Service Order
No. 68, which, as amended. Be-
came effective in connection with
livestock equipment March 15,
1942.
The order requires rail carriers
to suspend, effective on that date,
all provisions in their tarriffs un-
der which, for their convenience,
they can furnish equipment of a
different size or type from that
ordered. It further provides that
freight charges will be based upon
the size and type car actually fur-
nished, rather than on the size and
type car ordered. Unless the or-
der is modified, it will result in
drastic increases in freight charg-
es on livestock throughout the
country. Typical of these in-
creases are shipments of hogs and
sheep which are intended for
movement in double-deck cars, and
through the inability of the carrier
to furnish such equipment, two
single-deck cars are furnished in
lieu thereof.
As a result of a meeting with
producers and shippers of livestock
and representatives of the Depart-
ment and representatives of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
in its office on February 16, the
Commission has under considera-
tion modification of the order.
In consideration of the modifica-
tion the Commission, among other
things, requested that the produc-
ers and shippers throughout the
country take immediate steps to
conserve equipment, wherever pos-
sible to load cars as heavily as con-
ditions will permit, to order and
use the size and type car they ac-
tually need, and to load double-
deck cars when possible.

Senator Tom Connally says:
For the duration of the war, I fa-
vor the suspension of the 40-hour
week.
This is no time for strikes either
by the employer of labor or by
labor itself. On November 17,
1941, I introduced in the Senate
S-2054, with respect to strikes in
national defense plants. It pro-
vided that wherever production of
defense munitions or supplies is
delayed or held up by a strike or
labor dispute, the government may
take charge of such plant and
operate it to preserve the life of
this nation. The bill provided for
the freezing of labor relations as
they existed before the strike and
provided a Wage Board to mediate
wage disputes. There could be no
strike on open or closed shop or
jurisdictional strikes.
My bill has been endorsed by
the Navy Department, the War De-
partment and the Maritime Com-
mission, the three great govern-
ment departments which deal with
production of war materials. It
has been reported favorably by
the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate by a vote of 12 to 2.
hope to secure early consideration
of the bill by the Senate.
An earlier bill which I introduc-
ed to stop strikes was adopted by
the Senate by a vote of 67-7 on
June 12, 1941, but the House fail-
ed to accept it.
This is no time for employers to
secure special privileges by taking
advantage of the nation’s neces-
sity. Neither is this any time for
labor to take advantage of the
government’s danger to extort
special privileges. Therefore my
bill provides for freezing these re-
lationships just as they were prior
to the labor dispute.
Employers and contractors must
not be allowed to secure inordinate
or unreasonable profits on govern-
ment contracts. In the coming
tax bill, the government must tax
war profits adequately and fairly.
No one must be permitted to profi-
teer. No corporation, no partner-
ship, no group, no industry shall
be permitted to coin the nation’s
distresses and the sacrifices of our
people into unearned gains and in-
defensible profits.
Our task is gigantic. We must
utilize every resource. We must
convert plants and factories from
peace-time production to war pro-
duction. We must see that small
plants and small concerns secure
contracts and sub-contracts to pro-
duce the articles of which they are
capable. We must bend every ef-
fort and exert every power.
Every citizen—capital and labor
and tax-payers and the vast
amount of our people who belong
neither to the capitalistic class nor
to the organized labor class—all
must perform their patriotic duty.
The United States is faced by
grim and terrible war. This is no
time to expend our energies in
quarrelling among ourselves. We
need every ounce and atom of en-
ergy, of resources and of patriot-
ism to combat the enemy. We
need production in the factories
and plants. That means that we
need the unselfish, the patriotic
and devoted services of the own-
ers of the plants and the unselfish,
the patriotic and devoted services
of the men who work in the plants
and of men who are not yet work-
ing in the plants, but who may be
needed in the plan is later.
For the life of me, I can’t see
how any group or class of our peo-
ple in the dark hour of the na-
tion’s trial would want to segre-
gate itself from the general public,
from the great masses of our peo-
ple and claim or demand a special
privilege or a special profit when
men are shedding their blood to
perserve the nation’s life.

A Protective
Diet
After years of research at the
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.,
a “Protective Diet” was formu-
lated. It contains the mini-
mum amounts to be included
daily for adequate amount of
vitamins, minerals and proteins,
especially.
It is as follows: I pint milk, 1
egg, 4 servings of vegetables (1
green, leafy vegetable) 2 at
noon and 2 at night; 2 servings
of fruit (1 raw), 1 serving of
meat (about 2 oz.) and 1 table-
spoon butter.
Above are only minimum a-
mounts to provide requirements
necessary to your good health.
Be sure and provide at least 1
pint of milk daily for each mem-
ber of your family and see that
it is Wyatt’s Grade-A-Milk—it
is rich in health-giving elements
and helps to provide the system
with those necessary vitamins,
minerals and proteins.

Government Needs Stenographers
The Government has been very
liberal to Central Texas in the
various Defense Projects that have
been awarded this section. In the
immediate vicinity of Waco are
two Air Corps Training Fields and
the Veteran’s Hospital. These,
together with the new glass factory
and already established industries
will require an increasingly large
number of stenographers and
bookkeepers. At McGregor, less
than 20 miles from Waco will be
the munitions plant employing sev-
eral thousand workers; at Temple
the proposed hospital, and at Kil-
leen, Belton, and Gatesville will be
needed hundreds of trained office
employees right here in Central
Texas. Most of these will be able
to live right at home, do their bit,
and invest a large portion of their
earnings in Defense Bonds. New
Civil Service examinations are be-
ing announced daily.
All of this adds up to this one
thing—more girls, women, and
men should be preparing themselv-
es NOW to hold these positions
where the pay will average better
than $100 a month for those prop-
erly trained. Four-C College at
Waco is fortunate in having the
teachers, equipment, and machines
for training such employees.
However, it is recommended that
those who can start their prepara-
tion now, do so for three reasons:
1st, the Government needs help
urgently ; priorities on typewriters
and business machines limits the
number who can be trained; and
by starting now, new students will
be well on their way before the
June graduates enroll. Announ-
cement of the new Defense Class-
es at Four-C College which begin
April 6th, appeared in last week’s
Tribune.
Applications for War Ration
books have been received in pre-
paration for the forthcoming sugar
ration set for May 4-7.
This application, which is to be
filled in by the Registrar only,
carries the name and description
of the person to whom the book is
issued, and if that person is a
member of a family unit, the num-
ber of persons in that unit and the
relationship.
The total amount on hand of
white and brown sugar in any
form is asked both for a family
unit, or for the person, if not a
member of such a unit.
A certain number of War Ration
stamps will be removed from War
Ration Book No. 1 upon the basis
of the information as to the am-
ount of sugar on hand (if any).
This statement follows: “I
hereby make application to the Of-
fice of Price Administrator, as
agency for the United States Gov-
ernment, for the issuance to the
person whose name, address and
description are set forth above, of
War Ration Book No. 1 and all
War Ration Books hereafter issu-
ed for which the person named
above becomes eligible under ra-
tioning regulations. I hereby cer-
tify that I have authority to make
this application on behalf of the
person named above, and that no
other application for a War Ration
Book has been made by or on be-
half of such person, and that the
statements made above are true
to the best of my knowledge and
belief. “Signature.”
If you don’t turn in that hoard-
ed sugar to your grocer, you may
be shorted later on other com-
modities.
This warning was issued last
week by the Texas Rationing Ad-
ministration in a statement point-
ing out that the proposed ration-
ing books are not limited to sugar
but may be used for other com-
modities in which a shortage de-
velops.
Householders with sugar in ex-
cess of two pounds per person
must surrender coupons covering
the difference; and therefore may
surrender coupons out o.f his book
which later will be used to pro-
cure other things than sugar.
Rationing Administrator Mark
McGee said no date had been set
to secure rationing booklets, but
likely such a date would be deter-
mined within ten days.
McGee said that he had been
pledged grocer cooperation in the
drive to get sugar which consum-
ers have bought in quantities re-
purchased by stores.

Typhoid Vaccination
“If you have not been vaccinat-
ed against typhoid fever within the
last two or three years, go to your
doctor and be protected against
it,” Doctor Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, advises prospective
campers, Boy and Girl Scouts,
summer vacationists, and all other
users of the open road—whether
for business or pleasure—as the
out-of-doors season approaches.
“Typhoid fever,” he continued,
“is unnecessary and preventable.
Every case is due either to com-
munity negligence or to the ignor-
ance or carelessness of some indi-
vidual.
“A carrier is a person who has
had typhoid at some time and who
even after recovery carries the
germs of the disease in the urine
and the discharges from the in-
testinal tract. Carriers who are
careless in their personal habits are
likely to infect any food they
handle with unwashed hands.
Some of the most serious and far
reaching out breaks of the disease
have been caused by drinking milk
or eating foods that have been
handled by carriers. Persons may
'be carriers without knowing it.

automobile license plates at any
filling station or Red Cross head-
quarters.
