TOO MUCH WHEAT
SAYS CHARLIE THOMAS
United States farmers nroduee
more wheat than the home mar-
ket is able to use, Charlie Thom-
as, state AAA committeeman and
wheat farmer from Bampa, says
in pointing out that large supplies
of wheat are expected to make
marketing * quotas necessary for
handling the 1941- crop. h
During the past 18 years,
oommitteeman, farmers
duced an average of 1
bushels of wheat more than was
consumed in this country Exports
have furnished an outlet for much
of the wheat produced above do-
mestic needs, but since the out-
break of the present war, whea
exports have been almost entire
17 As ta° result of the war, wheat
has piled up in this country until
Speak at National Boy Scout Meeting
4
to
the SS supply for the 1941-42
marketing year is expected to be
nearly one and a quarter billion
bushels, Thomas said. That is a -
most enough wheat to meet this
country’s need, for two years.
Another factor that has con-
tributed to large wheat supplies
is that the average person in the
United States eats less wheat
than formerly, he continued. In
1920 the consumption of wheat
averaged 4.4 bushels per person,
while in 1930 it was 4.1 bushels
and in 1939 only 3.7 bushels. Al-
though the population has increas-
ed', the lower consumption per
person has prevented any appre-
ciable increase of the total con-
sumption.
Inability of the domestic mar-
ket Ao absorb the wheat wheat
produced, coupled with the sharp
curtailment of exports, are fac-
tors for wheat growers to study
quota referendum on iMJay 31,
Thomas declared.
B. W. M. U. HAS PROGRAM
ON “THE URGENT GOSPEL”
Refugees from the Nazi op-
pressions, Dr. and Mrs. Siegfried
1 Falkenstein arrived in White
i Deer Saturday to make their
j home with their son, Dr. Richard
I D. Falkenstein, and family.
After a long, drawn-out effort
on the part of the son to get his
parents to this country, they were
sent to Berlin on March 26 and
from there (by train to Lisbon,
Portugal, where they took a boat
for New York, arriving there Ap-
ril 21; and after visiting relatives
there a few days, came by train to
White Deer.
After the long trip and many
hardship*, they were glad to get
to the land of the free and to en-
joy the liberties denied them.
For 34 years the elder Dr. Fal-
kenstein has practiced medicine
in Wesel and! Cologne, Germany,
until 1938 when the Nazis took
away his license, and part of his
property, after which he was un-
able to practice his profession.
For a time lie was thrown into a
concentration camp and suffered!
hardships incident to the Hitler
domination. He and his good wife
figure themselves fortunate to
escape with their lives, as many
others in like condition lost their
lives.
The son left Germany prior to
the outbreak of European hostili-
ties, but at this time foresaw the
impending disaster and sought to
establisti himself m America.
Through examination he was
able to secure license in New
York state where he spent some
time serving in hospitals in that
state. Before coming to White
Deer last September he served as
interne in St. Francis hospital
and a second year as resident
.physician in Glockner hospital,
3 Colorado Springs, Colo. By reci-
procity with New York he was
licensed in Texas. He has estab-
lished his citizenship in this coun-
try and has built a splendid-prac-
tice of his own chosen profession
here.
His father and mother could
recite many almost unbelievable
happenings that have occurred in
their efforts to escape the Hitler
oppression. The effects of the de-
struction in Germany, they say, is
much greater than the Germans
admit, however not decisive for
the outcome of the war.
The rationing of food is severe,
with an average of two eggs every
two weeks, one bar of soap a
month, and (butter is scarce and
frequently rancid. An extra sup-
ply of butter over the amount ra-
tioned, costs about $5 a pound.
Glad to enjoy life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, Dr. and
Mrs. Falkenstein join their son
and his wife and baby in the good
old United States, and we join
our readers in ( hoping for them
many happy, carefree years iof
happiness.

noon in the Sunbeam Hall to ren-
der a Royal Service program.
After opening song “Christ to
the World We Sing,” Mrs. Clar-
ence Anderson took charge of the
program.
The devotional, Psalm 81, was
led by Mrs. Neal Edwards.
The topic discussed was “The
Urgent Gospel,, the World’s Dire
Need.”
Parts discussed were “Youth
and the Urgent Gospel,” by Mr3.
Clarence Anderson; “The Way
of the Young,” Mrs. La Verne
Edwards; “Along Missionary
Paths,” Mrs. Herman C'.e;
■“Helps Along the Way,” Mrs,

Selective Service regulations
have been amended so as to allow.
inductees ample time to adjust
their personal affairs before re-
porting for duty, General J. Watt
Page, State Selective Service di-
rector, announced today.
Previously, lie said, at least five
days had to elapse beiwem the
time a registrant received his or-
der to report for induction ai d
the actual date of induction. The
amendment extends this period
to ten days and authorizes local
boards to increase it to sixty or
more when they deem such exten-
sions justified.
Texas’ 351 local boards today
have been advised by state head-
quarters that in any case where
unusual hardship would other-
wise result, they may, in accord-
ance with the regulation, postpone
the induction date “for a period
of not to exceed 60 days from
the date of such postponement,
subject, however, to further post-
ponement upon good cause there-
for being shown.”
The new amendment, General
Page pointed out, gives local
boards authority to afford indi-
vidual registrants an opportunity
to make adjustments in their bus-
iness affairs, take examinations
required of certain professions by
state laws, and otherwise make
satisfactory arrangements in their
private lives before entering up-
on service in the nation’s armed
forces.
The Mother and Daughter
banquet which is to be given Sat-
urday evening by the Copass Y.
W. A. of the Baptist church was
discussed at the regular meeting
Monday afternoon in the Sun-
beam Hall.
Johnna Ruth Butler, president,
took charge of the meeting and
it was opened with a song, ‘ ‘ Stand
Up for Jesus,” a prayer by Edith
Harvey.
Scripture reading, Mark 10:17-
22, was read by LaVelle Horton.
Evelyn Osborne was appointed
chairman of the games commit-
tee for the banquet and will be
assisted by Edith Harvey.
The banquet is to be informal
and is to be carried out in buffet
style.
There was also discussion on
when to invite the Judson Y. Wi
A. of the Pampa Baptist church
for a visit, and it was decided to
invite them after the close of
school.
The introduction to Monday’s
program was “Youth For Truth
in All the World,” and was dis-
cussed by Evelyn Osborne.
The main thought brought out
in the introduction was that the
youth of today needs the gospel
at once, not tomorrow and on and
on, but at once. Also that the
young people today face prob-
lems no other young people of
our country have ever faced. We
face a world of rapidly shifting
thought in government, in educa-
tion, and in business.
The topic, “The Bible,” was
also discussed bv Evelyn Osborne
and the most important points
brought out were that the Bible is
a man’s chief guide book and man
may discover many principles in
the Bible. The Bible is at home in
every man’s hand.
Mrs. Theodore Bradshaw talk-
ed' on the subject “Friendship.
“An individual is known by
the company he keeps,” said Mrs.
Bradshaw.
The topic of the talk given by
Mrs. Edith Harvey was “Camps
and Houseparties. ”
Johna Ruth Butler dismissed in
prayer.
Attending were Nelrose Hor-
ton, Johna, Ruth Butler, La Yelle
Horton, Vivian Heath, Edith Har-
vey, Evelyn Osborne, Tressie
Wheatley, a guest, Mrs. Theo-
dore Bradshaw, sponsor, and M*rs.
C. V. Rector, a Y. IWl A. mother.
The Amarillo Social Security
board field office bas on hand a
supply of post cards, already ad-
dressed to the Social Security
board, bearing a printed request
on the opposite side with space
provided for the sender’s signa-
ture, his social security account
number, and post-office address.
This card, when signed’ and mail-
ed, will bring to the individual
signing the card a statement of all
wages credited to his old-age and
survivors insurance account, Dew-
ey Reed, manager, said today.
“Every worker should be inter
ested in knowing the status of his
old age and survivors insurance
account since the amount of his
insurance benefits are based on
wages credited to his account. To
obtain a statement as to his wage
credits, a wage earner must only
secure one of these post cards,
fill in the blanks as indicated, at
tach a one.-cent stamp, and place
it in a mail hex. Within the time
ne.nss^ry for the card to go to
to Baltimore and come back to his
mailing address, he will be in
possession of the information re-
quested.”
Reed emphasized the impor-
tance of securing wage statements
in cases where workers have been
or expect to be inducted into mil-
itary service and persons change
from covered, to non-covered1 em-
ployment. “It’s just like a sav-
ings account,” he said, “and any-
one possessing n savings account
wants to know now much he his
put away for a rainy dav.”
The Amarillo Social Security
board field office will be glad to
furnish these cards to individuals
or employe groups in such quan-
tities desired, upon request by
mail or in person.

Dr. F. I. Reid was here in town
with the returns of a boat which
he had' borrowed.
“Travel light. Take nothing but
essentials, and you’ll save your-
self a lot of inconvenience.”
This is the advice given by Gen-
eral J. Watt Page, StatA* Selective
Service Director, to men selected
for military training who are pre-
paring to leave for army induc-
tion stations.
General Pa^e said that one
suitcase should be sufficient to
carry all a selectee would need
until he is outfitted by the army
—“change of underwear and
socks, shaving set including type
of razor he is accustomed to us-
ing, tooth brush and other toilet
articles, and things like those.”
“Put them all in one suitcase,”
he advised, 11 and do not ta^ke
along bags, (boxes and loose arti-
cles, Or you will be causing a lot
of inconvenience for yourself and
others while you are on your to the
induction station and afterwards.
Unnecessary articles taken to
induction centers, together with
any prohibited by military regula-
tions, must be returned to his
home by the selectee at his own
expense or otherwise disposed of,
General Page pointed out.
