Commodity Lists
Must Be Filed
By August 10
AH retail merchants in Carson
county were reminded today by
Vern Wisdom, chairman of the
Carson County War Price and
Rationing Board, that they must'
tile with the local board by Aug.
10 a list showing cost of living
articles and their ceiling prices
which the merchant has added to
his stock since July 1.
‘•The filing of such lists by
the tenth of each month is made
mandator T. f General Maximum
Price Regulation No. 1”, Wisdom
pointed out. He also called at-
tention to the fact that many re-
tail merchants still have not fil-
ed the initial listing of cost-of-
living articles and their ceiling
prices, which should have been
in the hands of the C'arson coun-
ty board not later than July 1.
“Failure to file that list is a
violation of the General Maxi-
mum Price Regulation,” Wisdom
said, “and we have been advised
that the state office of Price Ad-
ministration staff is norv making
a field survey to determine how
many merchants have not filed
this list.”
The result of this survey, he
said, are to be turned over to-
the OPA compliance and investi-
gation department ,for immedr
iate attention. Any merchant who
still has not obtained a copy of
the General Maximum Price Re-
gulation, or of Bulletin No. 2—
“What Every Retail Merchant
Should Know About the GMPR”
—can get copies by applying to
the office of the Carson County
War Price and Rationing Board,
Box 98, Panhandle.
Mr. Wisdom stressed that com-
priance with Price Control is
an essential duty in winning the
war “on the Home Front”.

Tire Inventory
Deadline Given
An Extension
Vern Wisdom, chairman of the
Carson county War Price and
Rationing Board, announced this
week that automobile tire anl
tube sellers have been granted
an extension of time from July
25. to August 1, in which to file
with the local board an inven
lory of all tires and tubes, both
new and used, that were on hand
as of June 30.
“This is the second extension
of time granted for this report”,
Wisdom explained, “because of
the late arrival of the necessary
forms.”
These reports must he filed
by all persons who sell new or
used tires and tubes and retread-
ed or recapped tires of whatever
kind, not mounted on a vehicle.
The purpose of the inventory is
to provide a fund of information
to assist in charting the future
course of rationing.
“Similar reports must be made
by each tire seller in each calen-
dar quarter hereafter,” Wisdom
explained, “but in the future, the
reporting forms will have to be
obtained from \your local boar-1
office by the tire dealer. They
will not be mailed to the dealers
hereafter, as they were for this
first report.”

‘Fatigue’ Tests on Steel
Steel doesn’t get tired and quit
today, like it used to—for example,
when you had to tote a big machine-
shop tool box on “the old bus” in
case steel parts should get that tired
feeling and lie down on you on some
lonely road. Now research has de-
veloped “fatigue” tests on steels
destined for auto and plane parts,
and other equipment. These tests,
followed by endurance limit tests,
determine quite closely whether the
steel in question will go on faithfully
doing its hard work for the life of
the equipment of which it is a vital
part.
Food Theories
There have been so many pecu-
liar if interesting theories about
foods during ancient years. Green
vegetables have come in for their
share of slander. At one time arti-
chokes were supposed to be a cure
for falling hair—radishes would pre-
vent the bee from stinging or the
sting from hurting—cabbage was
recommended for that morning-aft-
er feeling, and radishes for whoop-
ing cough. Personally, I’ll adhere
to the vitamin theory.
His Girl Wrote
Private Joe Di Mercurio of Bat-
tery A, 52nd training battalion,
found himself in a rather embar-
rassing position recently. He re-
ceived a letter from his girl friend
—in shorthand.
Joe would like to know what the
letter contains, but he is afraid to
let anyone else read it.
Is that any way, he asks, to “Keep
’Em Happy”?
Spending Your Time
A psychologist has estimated that
the average 70-year life consists of
25 years of work, 20 years sleep, 7
years of sports and walking, 5 years
of shaving and dressing, 7 years of
pleasure, 3 years of waiting, 2 years
eating, 1 year telephoning, 30 hours
annually looking in mirrors, and
4 hours annually wiping one’s nose.
Arkansas
At one time there was confusion
as to which was the proper pro-
nunciation of the word Arkansas, and
to settle this dispute the general
assembly of 1881 appointed a com-
mittee to ascertain the correct man-
ner. This they determined to be Ar-
kan-saw.
Teazle Seed
Teazle seed is one of the most
valuable things for keeping birds in
cages or aviaries in good condi-
tion. It can be used in a dry con-
dition or soaked until it commences
to sprout, when it is invaluable for
feeding hens and sick birds.
Refrigerator
After defrosting your automatic
refrigerator, wash out the freezing
chamber with cool water containing
soda and dry it with a clean cloth.
Wash the shelves and all the in-
terior of the refrigerator in the same
manner. Wash and dry the trays
as you do your best china. Rubber
ice trays may be washed with soap
and water and rinsed carefully, or
they may be covered with water
containing a little baking soda and
water brought to the boiling point.

WAR BONDS
★ - ★
Navy Cruisers are built in two
classes, light and heavy, the latter
displacing about 10,000 tons. Our
navy has about an equal number
of light and heavy Cruisers, the
10,000 ton Cruiser costing approxi-
mately $20,000,000. Many Cruisers
are under construction and many
more are needed.
\ .f |
To pay for these speedy and pow-
erful ships with their heavy guns
and armament we must buy War
Bonds. Citizens of a large town or
a given community, working in uni-
ty, could buy one of these ships for
the Navy if they put at least ten
percent of their income in War
Bonds every pay day.

Lula Mae Cummings, first,
year demonstrator for Panhandle
made a skirt of striped cotton,
cotton pajamas from feed sacks
comlbinea with blue seersucker, a
print dress and a laundry bag.
She had a nice closet, but no
door, so she asked her father’s
help. A door was made for the
closet from scrap plywood which
they had on hand. The only cost
was 8 5c for hinges, latch, and
materials dor the door frame.
The shelves were painted and the
closet papered.
After this improvement Lula
Mae and her sister selected blue
flowered paper for their room
and helped paper it. The curtains
were dyed blue to harmonize with
:he room and a new spread was
added. The floor was varnished
and a book case for their room
was made from au old radio cab-
inet.
Lula Mae kept records on her
clothing and she had learned to
plan her clothes ahead so she
would have good color harmony.
Before this Lula Mae said she had
known very little about the cost
of clothing.
Billie GraCje Burum is very
proud of a new clothes closet
which was made by enclosing
part of the front porch. It has
been papered with light wall
paper, has two big shelves for
bedding, and four shallow shelves
to hold hats, sewing box and
other things girls accumulate.
Her father made the clothes rod
out of iron pipe, and helped to
install an electric light. The en-
tire cost was bo'ut $30.00 but
Billie Grace and her mother agree
that, it is worth it to hve such
well-arranged storage space.
Besides this, Billie Grace made
2 hat racks from ply-wood, a pair
of slacks, jumper, cotton pajamas,
a dotted swiss dress, a yarn bag,
and idea scrap book, 2 table cov-
ers and a laundry bag. She is
the second year clothing demon-
strator for Panhandle 4-H club.

Texas Cuts Local Debt $19
Per Capita in Past Decade
Texas has reduced its state and
local debt $19 per capita since
1932, while the corresponding debt
of the entire United States has
been decreased only $3 per cap-
ita, according to a statistical
analysis issued by Janies C.
Tucker, partner of Barcus, Kin-
dred & Company of Austin, mu-
nicipal bond specialists.
Between 1932 and 1940, Texas’
gross state and local debt de-
clined from $134 per capita to
$115 per capita, Mr. Tucker’s fig-
ures show. During the same pe-
riod, similar debt for the United
States as a whole decreased from
$157 to $154 per capita.
Thus Texas’ debt reduction rec-
ord was nearly seven times
greater than that of the entire
country. The figures were 14.77
and 2.2 per cent, respectively.
Plans Completed
For School Building
The Panhandle school board
met Tuesday night to accept the
plans for the grade school build-
ing and work will begin just as
soon as bids are received, it was
learned.
The plans were drawn by Rit-
tenberry and Son, an architect
firm of Borger.
Mrs. F. C. Temple of Edmond,
Okla., arrived Tuesday afternoon
for a visit with her daughter, Mrs
Boyd Watkins and family. Mr.
Temple returned several days ago
to Edmond after spending a week
in the Watkins home.
Query: Is it better to stay up
half the night waiting for the boy
friend to go home, or to marry
him. and stay up half the night
waiting for him to come to it?
Some people learn how to re-
lax. Others learn how to do any-
thing else,
A commentator wonders what
grandfather would have made of
the word “unzip”; just about as
much as his grandson can make
of “giddap”.
One sage advanced the theory
that we could hardly hope to
have good weather with the world
in the state it’s in.
Pity those who have no child-
ren. The only way to be sure of
friends in your old age is to
raise your own.
