SMALL MILLS
UNDER CONTROL
Washington, June 7.—Smalt
awmills today were subject to
civilian production administra-
tion controls.
CPA put the controls on
them in an effort to get more
lumber for the veterans emer-
gency housing program.
Mills cutting less than 8,000
feet of ioft.vood or 4,000 feet
of hardwood a day previously
were exempt from CPA con-
trols.
CPA said most of the small
mills affected were in the
south.
Pine Insect Reported
College Station.—Pine trees
in East Texas have been at-
tacked this year by insects and
fungi which cut off the needles
or turn them brown, D. A. An-
derson, chief silviculturist of
the Texas Forest Service, A. &
M. College, reports.
The colaspie beetle has been
reported attacking nee 'les of
pines in several areas in East
Texas, especially in the sol lh=
east. The needle-cast fungus
and the brown spot fungus
have been reported on the lob-
lolly pines on more widely-
spread areas over the state.
Anderson says there is no
particular need to worry about
the infestation. He says the
trees will be somewhat slowed
down in growth, but they will
usually make a recovery.
Seeking Baseball,
Boy Drowns When
Steps In Deep Water
Houston, Tex., June 4.—The
drowning of six-year-old Don-
ald La Vergne was blamed to-
day on last week’s heavy rains.
He drowned yesterday in a
rain-formed gully near his
home while playing ball with
a group of friends.
While trying to wade
through the water to retrieve
the ball which had heen hat-
ted across the pool, formed rt
a culvert, Donald was sucked
under and drowned before his
friends coo’d rescue him.
The Veterans Administra-
tion’s contact representative,
Stuart C. Fisher,_ from the
Lufkin and Houston VA of-
fices, will in the county-
agent’s office, Center, every
Tuesday from 10 a.ni. to 3 p.m.
Mr. Fisher comes to Shelby
county for the purpose of ren-
dering advice and assistance to
veterans and beneficiaries of
veterans with respect to claims
for disabilities suffered or ag-
gravated in service, death
benefits, pensions, insurance,
government guaranteed loans,
edceationsl benefits, etc.
"Every problem, no matter
how insignificant it might
seem, will be given a full un-
derstanding and a complete
answer,” said Mr. Fisher last
Tuesday. The veterans’ rep-
ntative stated further that,
at present, reinstatement of
lapsed Gf insurance and ap-
plications for "on the job”
training and college were up-
permost in the minds of veter-
ans. _A recent Washington rul-
ing enables ex-servicemen to
reinstate their irsurance, re-
gardless of how long the policy
has lapsed. The mere payment
of two premiums, together with
the statement that the ex-serv-
iceman’s health is . no worse
now than it was at the time
his policy became overdue, will
turn the trick.
500 Surplus Tankers to
Be Stored In -Old River
Bend Near Beaumont
Beaumont, Tex.—The cabin
cruiser trailed the Navy PC as
they came up the Neches from
Port Arthur.
Eight miles below Beaumont,
the Navy ship went straight
ahead, her propeller stirring
the water of the ship channel.
We turned to starboard and in-
to the old river course. Be-
tween the two crafts lay an is-
land, made when dredges
"straightened the corner” for
the Beaumont traffic to the sea.
This is McFadden’s -Bend.
Soon, most of that island will

basin for the Maritime Com-
mission’s surplus tankers—500
of them.
Here in the heart of the oil
refinery area from where these
same tankers carried fuel to
the Allies, the now unneeded
vessels will be anchored and
kept for another day. Just in
case, of course. Then they can

up the river only a few miles,

At neighboring Orange, the
Navy is laying up spare war-
ships in a similar manner. The
two programs—Navy and Mar-
time Commission—are closely
intergrated.
At Houston, 500 of the Mar-
itime Commission’s 2,600 sur-
plus Liberty ships will be stor-
ed. The commission has se-
lected a site at Peggy’s Lake,
just off Buffalo Bayou.
Surplus vessels will be put
through special process that is
expected to keep them in good
condition for years, ready for
almost instant use.
