White Deer Review
VOLUME XVIII.
WHITE DEER, CARSON COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1941
NUMBER 30
Senator Tom Connally of Texas,
above, will deliver the principal
address for National Defense Day
at the State Fair of Texas on Sun-
day, October 12. Senator Connally
will come from Washington for the
event, which is to be the greatest
patriotic demonstration ever held
in the Southwest. Ceremonies will
begin at 3 p. m. in the huge Cotton
Bowl and more than 50,000 persons
are expected to hear the address.
Every civic and patriotic organiza-
tion, in ;luding American Legion,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, Texas
Defense Guard and others, will par-
ticipate. Many organizations will
isend representatives from every
section of the state.
FRESH GREEN VEGETABLES
FOR THIS WINTER
Frame gardens should be plant-
ed to assure a supply of fresh
green vegetables for this winter.
Use a frame about 8 to 12 inches
high and this may be made of
-scrap lumber. Wall canvas makes
.an excellent cover.
Plant one-fourth more seeds be-
cause germination at this time of
year is usually not so good. Long-
standing bloomsdale is an excel-
lent variety of spinach to plant
and will live through the winter.
Swiss chard, mustard, lettuce,
carots, beets, and radishes are all
satisfactory.
Rows should be about 9 inches
apart. Sub-irrigation helps to
keep the ground from packing,
and tin cans may be used in place
of tile.
Mrs. Charlie Ewing of Tony
Ridge said they enjoyed the spin-
ach, especially, from their frame
garden. It is tender enough to be
used in salad, or may be cooked,
she said.
Fresh green vegetables are
much lleher in vitamin A than
caJbbage, lettuce, or other bleach-
ed greens.
"WINTER SEASON BRINGS
GREAT FIRE HAZARDS
Fall and winter are on their
way.
Many parts of the country are
still enjoying clear, warm days —
but the months of rain and snow
and cold aren’t far off.
The winter season brings with
it some of the greatest fire haz-
ards—hazards which are responsi-
ble for thousands of deaths and
the destruction of millions of dol-
lars worth of property each year.
Yet those hazards can be easily
corrected.
Winter hazard number one is
your heating plant. Before long,
it will be subjected to maximum
load. Any defect, any weakness,
may result in a disastrous fire.
That is true of furnaces, stoves,
fireplaces, andi everything wrhieh
has to do with creating and con-
veying heat. Don’t be your own
inspector — that is not an ama-
teur’s job. Call in a qualified re-
pairman. It won’t cost much —
and it may save a life, a home, or
a factory.
Another hazard is exposed elec-
tric wiring. Cords fray, and fix-
tures get out of order. Short days
involve heavy use of light. Here
again, a qualified expert should
make all repairs. And keep a
stock of fuses on hand—the more-
•or-less common act of using a pen-
ny to replace a burned-out fuse
is an invitation to disaster.
jNow is the time to get ready for
■winter—not when it is here and
you must use maximum heat and
light.
Do it today !
IMr. and Mrs. Lo^ran Fleming
■were in the Gulf storm at Rock-
port. Logan stayed on the job
■when practically all of the 6,000
residents of the city went to
Figher ground. Mrs. Fleming
went to Wharton, about" 100 miles
inland, from where she phoned
Tier mother, Mrs. Martin. Logan
also talked with his father here
after the storm.
AID TO DEPENDENT
CHILDREN PROGRAM
BEGAN SEPTEMBER. 19
The (State Department of Pub-
lic Welfare is now accepting ap-
plications for aid to dependent
children at its local offices
throughout the state.
Parents or relatives of depen-
dent children should call at the
state department’s local office in
the county in which they reside
and talk with the worker who will
be prepared to explain the e'ina-
bility requirements and assist in
filing the application. It will not
be necessary that the children be
brought to the office as the local
worker will later make a visit to
the home at which time the chil-
dren may be seen.
For a child to be eligible for aid
to dependent children under the
laws of the State of Texas, the
child,
(1) Must be a citizen of the
United States;
(2) Must have resided in Texas
at least one year preceding He
date of application; or must have
been torn within the state will m
one year preceding the date of
application provided the child’s
mother had resided in Texas at
least one year preceding the
child’s birth;
(3) Must be under the age or
14;
(4) Must be deprived of par-
ental support, or care, by reason
of one of the following factors:
(a) death of a parent, (b) con-
tinued absence from home on the
part of a parent, and (c) physical
or mental incapacity7 of a par-
ent;
(5) Must be living with father
mother, grandfather, grandmoth-
er, brother, sister, step-father,
step-mother, step-brother, step-
sister, uncle or aunt in a place
of residence maintained by one
or more such relatives as his or
her home;
(6) Must be in need. This is de-
fined as not having sufficient in-
come or other resources to pro-
vide a reasonable subsistence com-
patible with health and decency.
The department calls particular
attention to Item 4, in explaining
that the program was not de-
signed to provide for all needy
children, but only those whose
need is due to their being, de-
prived of parental care and sup-
port by virtue of one or more of
the specified reasons. The depart-
ment gave the following explana-
tion of some of thesg reasons:
Death of a parent is interpreted
literally, except that it cannot be
said that a child1 is deprived of
parental support if the surviving
parent has re-married and the
child has one natural parent and
one step-pai’ent.
Continued absence from home
is interpreted to include absence
that might be due to imprison-
ment, desertion, or abandonment
or divorce.
The physical or mental inca-
pacity of a parent is interpreted
to mean an incapacity that re-
stricts the occupational activity
of a parent to such an extent that
such parent is unable to provide
support. The parent’s condition
must be of such chronic nature
that it can reasonably7 be antici-
pated to incapacitate the parent
for a period of at least six
months.
The Constitution of Texas, Ar-
ticle III, section 51d, restricts
payments in such a way that no
more than $16 can be given for
one child in an eligible family,
and no more than $24 can be given
for two or more children in an
eligible family. The constitutional
amendment also restricts the tot-
al expenditure of state funds for
the ADC program to no more than
$1,500,000 yearly, which means
that the total amount available,
including federal matching funds,
cannot exceed $3,000,000 yearly.

Because of he high dry grass
this fall, trash fires are especially
dangerous. The city fire depart-
ment is urging that everyone be
more careful than ever. Trash
should be burned in a barrel and
watched carefuly to see that it
does not blow out.
In burning grass about the
house it is best to backfire around
the lot and be sure that equipment
is at hand that would be neces-
sary in controlling the fire.
If citizens will report any haz-
ards about their home or around
town, the fire department will be
glad to cooperate in removing
them.

TEL CLASS HOLDS MEETING
C. B. Chunn, local manager for
the Southwestern Public Service
company for the past six years, is
leaving White Deer for Amarillo,
where he is being promoted with
the commercial department of the
company.
Mr. Chunn is to be replaced
here by Tom Sherrin of Pampa,
who is .well-known to the people
of our city, having relieved Mr.
Chunn for the last three years
during vacation periods and oth-
er times when Mr. Chunn was
out of town.
Mr. Sherrin began with the
Southwestern Public Service com-
pany in 1928 at Pampa. He is an
experienced utility man, having
done work with the line depart-
ment, service department, office,
and before coming to our city was
superintendent of the meter de-
partment in Pampa.
Mr. Sherrin is in W’hite Deer
now, and with Mrs. Sherrin, will
move here next week. Mr. Sher-
rin and family wil be welcomed
by White Deer citizens and be re-
ceived into the social and civic
activities of our city.
Mr. and Mrs. Chunn will be
greatly missed in the various ac-
tivities with which they have been
associated since their coming to
White Deer six years ago. Mr.
Chunn began with the Southwest-
ern Public Service company in
1929 and for several years was
line foreman in Amarillo and was
engaged in a number of <■ construc-
tion jobs on lines running in and
out of Amarillo. Just prior to his
coming to our he city, he was
manager at Groom.
Mr. Chunn has been active in
civic, social, fraternal, and relig-
ious movements, and as leader of
the Boy Scouts, has rendered the

A hiss does not always mean

denotes satisfaction. _ .
