Sunday and Monday
Organization of a county Sal-
vation Army committee to handle
the work of that agency on a local
basis was proposed by J. L. Shark-
ey of Dallas.
Sharkey said the Salvation
Army is now raising an estimat-
ed $2,600 a year in Sulphur
Springs through periodic collec-
tions, with no services being per-
formed in the county since there
is no local organiaztion.
If a Salvation Army committee
is formed, one-third of the agen-
cy’s budget will remain here for
local welfare work, with two-
thirds going for state services,
which would be available to the
local committee.
Sharkey proposed a .Salvation
Army budget of $2,349, repre-
senting 10 cents Nor each resident
of the county.
The committee discussed brief-
ly the question of whether the
entire campaign should be hand-
led by local volunteer workers or
whether a professional fund rais-
er should be employed to help
with the big job.
Paris recently raised a United
Fund budget of more than $60,-
000 with the aid of a professional
fund raiser, whose fee was more
than $5,000, it was reported.
Other cities ip this area raising
their United Fund quotas without
outkide help were listed as Texar-
kana, Marshall, Mineola and
Clarksville, which had a budget of
$20,000.
Gladewater practically raised
its budget, the group was told,
while Mt. Pleasant has not quite
attained its goal.
Denton, it was reported, over-
subscribed its quota by 20 per
cent in its first United Fund cam-
paign, but encountered trouble
the second year in a letdottn of
interest.
Another meeting of the conynit-
tee is planned soon after addition-
al information is available.
Their foragwfg is expected to
be increased this year because of
a poor crop year last season, El-
lard said. He explained:
“Because of our small crop
production last year, it is expect-
ed that pocket gophers are about
to run out of stored provisions.
They will undoubtedly work over-
time to replenish their supplies,
which they store in the ground.”
However, Ellard concedes that
the prospect isn’t as dismal as it
appears on the surface. He said
the gophers were comparatively
easy to control by the use of
poison and traps.
, “Maize soaked in strychnine is
the most effective poisoning
method,” he continued. “Proper-
ly applied, this maize usually
' ' •

ed at this level."
Present thinking of the
mittec favors an operating

Several possible locations

Effort Under Way ,
One suggestion involves use «f
the warehouse now being occu-
pied by the state highway main-
tenance department, which is
moving to new quarters.
“We hear an effort is being
made to have this building deed-
ed to the city for use as a Citil
Air Patrol headquarters and h*
a recreation center,’’ Judge Gee
said. -j- I

where it is used. Traps may then | if a new armory is built,
be used to control the few sur-
vivors.”
For instructions in proper ap-
plication methods, farmers may
contact Ellard at the county
agent’s office.
Gophers feed on grains and all
forms of vegetation, and can be’
a serious, economic factor to the
farmer, Ellard declared.
“Bqt,” he added, “it is grow-
ing progressively more difficult
.to get fanners interested in unit-
ing against destructive rodents,
and this may be our hardest bat-
tle this year. Unless steps are
taken to eradicate gophers, Hop-
kins County farmers may suffer
great crop losses to their depre-
dations.”

methods for controlling timber.
By eliminating useless timber
they broaden and improve their
grazing land.
He urged all farmers and cat-
tlemen of the county to attend
at least one of the demonstra-
tions.
Demonstrations will bo held at
the following times and places:
Monday at 10 a. m. on the Roy
Herman, farm, located on FM
Road, 71, two miles west of Nelta
and one-half mile north of FM 71.
Monday at 1:30 p. m.— The
Fred Finley farm in the Branoni
community on Highway 11.
Tuesday at 10 a. m. — The
Elmer Hamrick farm, located two
miles east of Highway 19 and four
mies west of the Arbala commun-
ity.
Tuesday at 1:30 p. m.—Melvin
Martin’s Indian Knoll Farm, locat-
ed seven miles east of Sulphur
Springs on Highway 67.
Only sharp difference of opin-
ion encountered by the commit-
tee to date concerns ac
which would be carried on
center, Judge Gee declared.
“The main point of (Wferende
is on dancing,” he explained.
“The yonng people we have con
tacted seem to believe dancing
should be allowed. Some adults
say it should not be permitted.
Dilemma For Committee
“This leaves the committee in
a dilemma as to whether in the
the course of adapting the cen-
ter to beliefs of the adults , we
might ’ make it unacceptable to
the young people, or in the course
of making it acceptable to the
youth we might make it unaccep-
table to adults.
“We do feel it would be very
difficult to set up such a pro-
ject without allowing dancing at
least at some times.
“We don’t, want to offend any-
one. We recognize that there are
differences of opinion. We want
to do what is best for our young
people to give them a degree to
supervised recreation .and make it
possible for those teen-agers who
might otherwise be inclined to
get into difficulties to avoid the
temptation toward such trouble.”
Judge Gee was introduced by
the Rev. John S. Rice, program
chairman for the meeting.

“Damaged plans are just like
sick gjspple,” he added.
K«ntW<ty said he did not be-
lievef trees were permanently dam-
aged, but that it is too early to
tell for sure.
Most pecan trees were not far
enough advanced in growth for
the nut crop to be destroyed, he
believes, although some may have
been hurt. Fruit was definitely
lost.
"II was a funny freeze,”* tftfe
nurseryman commented. “Some
thinffc which are supposed to be
easiif damaged came through
okay, and others which are sup-
poseq to be hardy were ruined.”
H® pointed to a bright new un-
folding camellia bud as evidence
of bil statement.
Damage in the Tyler area,
where growth was about two
weeks aheal of that here, was
much more severe than around
Sulphur Springs, Kennedy report-
ed after a visit to Tyler Tuesday.
“They told me 80 per cent of
the new rose plants were destroy-
• shortage of plants next
fall.”
Azaleas at Tyler also were hard
hit, Kennedy said, with some home
owners starting to cut their plants
off at ground level In the hope of
their reviving from new growth.

HARPERS FERRY DEFENSE
Harpers Ferry, W. Va. oft—The
old U. 8. arsenal, moss-covered
and historic, is once more a link
in the nation’s defense system.
Bradley D. Nash, deputy assist-

whose home is near here, has chos-
en the arsenal for a Ground Ob-
server Corps post.
Back in 1859, when the arsenal
became nationally famous, it
stood in downtown Harpers Ferry.
It. since has been moved to a high
hill where it commands q view for
miles.
And it has a.new name. They
call it John Brown’s Fort. For
