Edward Klaeger
^ Addresses Laredo
Rotary Assembly
Members of the Benavides Rot-
ary Club presented a special pro-
gram as guests of the Laredo
* , Club at noon Wednesday at the
New Plaza Hotel in Laredo.
(* _ Bob Dublin, chairman of the
& Laredo Club’s Inter-City Com-

Synthetic Rubber and was in
charge of the meeting Wednes-
day. He introduced Jose 'R. De
Leon, charter president of the
Benavides Club who in turn in-
troduced Edward Klaeger, Jr.,
speaker of the day.
Mr. Klaeger, chemical engin-
eer of the Duval Gasoline Com-
pany, gave an interesting address
on the problems which lie ahead
in the making of synthetic rub-
ber. The war’s end will find syn-
thetic rubber here to stay, he
said.
He showed how there are
% some 250 processes of rubber
making. The main ones are from
oil and alcohol processes. Being
an oilman, he went into the many
details of producing butane
which is no necessary for syn-
thetic rubber.
Flowers Shot
While Bird Hunting
Near Benavides
Sunday afternoon a bird hunt-
ing trip almost proved fatal for
A. J. Flowers, who was accident-
ally shot in the right shoulder
while hunting about 17 miles
south of Benavides.

and while stooping over to pick
up the bird, a 20 gauge shot gun
in the hands of Gene Chancey,
age 13, was accidentally discharg-
ed at close range and the full
Toad entered the fleshy part of
the upper right arm.
Flowers, a machine shop oper-
ator who was formerly located
in Benavides but who has been
in business in Orange Grove for
the past two years, was unable
fcst to secure medical attention in
Benavides so he was removed to

j+u Other members of the hunting
\>arty were W. L. Flowers, B. M.
Hendrick, G. H. Chancey and
son, Gene, all of Orange Grove.

Radio Program
For Defense Work
Sunday On WOAI
A radio program which drama-
tizes the work of Auxiliary Fire-
men in the plan of Civilian De-
fense will be broadcast by sta-
tions of the Texas Qualitv Net-
work, Sunday, September* 27, at
2 p. m. This announcement was
made by Fire Chief A. C. Can-
ales upon receipt of information
from Marvin Hall, State Fire De-
fense Coordinator of the National
Defense Committee for Texas.
The program will be another
in the series, titled, “Texans on
the Alert,” which is prepared b3r
the Texas School of the Air in
cooperation with the National
Defense Committee for Texas,
and features various activities of
Civilian Defense.
Chief Canales also reminds
local citizens that Governor Coke
Stevenson has proclaimed Octo-
ber 4 to 10 as Fire Prevention
Week in Texas.
“This year,” the chief said, “all
of us must accept the responsibili-
ty of preventing fires. Every fire
helps the cause of our enemy.
The war cannot be won by ashes,
if we permit carelessness to cause
fires which destroy our factories,
stores, homes and farms.”
Civilians must constantly keep
on the alert, and continued active
support of the Civilian Defense
training program will be grate-
fully appreciated, Chief Canales
said.

before being called for Selective
Service.
He was a private in the Infan-
try Company of the Benavides

FIRE PREVENTION
4There has never been enough
attention given to fire preven-
tion in time of peace, and too
much emphasis cannot be placed
on this kind of protection during
wartime.
Newspapers
Of Texas Map
Scrap Drive
The part Texas newspapers
will play in the nation-wide scrap
metal campaign was discussed in
Dallas last week at a meeting of
representatives of newspapers ov-
er the state.
A committee, headed by Thorn-
ton Hall of the San Antonio Ex-
press, was appointed to handle
details of the drive.
The newspaper drive represents
a Texas participation in a simi-
lar nation-wide drive- It is an
outgrowth of a meeting held
September 4 in Washington by
Donald Nelson, chairman of the
War Production Board. The
Washington meeting was attend-
ed by 140 newspapermen from
over the nation.
The drive will last from Sept-
ember 28 through October 17.
Texas school children will partici-
pate actively in the program be-
ginning October 5.
Tentative plans have been
made to raise $10,000 in prizes for
the scrap drive.
Auxiliary Firemen
The Auxiliary Fireman will
wear a maltese cross in red with;
in white triangle set in blue cir-
cle.
Because numerous fires can
start simultaneously and spread
swiftly during or after a raid, it
is necessary to augment the regu-
lar fire-fighting forces. Auxiliary
fire stations with an officer or
first grade fireman in charge of
each probably will be established
around each existing engine com-
pany. Enrolled volunteers will
be assigned to each fire station.
They should be men who are not
subject to military draft.
The wearing of this insigne is
limited to workers enrolled as
Auxiliary Firemen in the Civil-
ian Defense Organization.

Former Vaello
Employee Writes
Army Experience
Baldomero Garcia, a former
Vaello Sales Company employee,
now stationed at Camp Koehler,
California, wrote E. F. McCarty,
manager, an interesting letter
of his experiences as a private.
In part, Garcia writes as fol-
lows: “Well, here I am on my
way to California. We were, on
our way for two nights and two
days since leaving San Antonio.
We traveled north through Aus-
tin, Waco and Oklahoma City
and then to Kansas.
“Crossing the Grand Canyon
was an experience I shall never
forget. I have been keeping my
eyes open and have been having
the time of my life . . . and I
don t mean maybe! Our trip
through Nevada and Utah and
into northern California was a
good one.
“Here in California the people
are wearing winter clothing. It
is not very cold to me . . . just
a cool breeze and I like it.
“Sacramento is where the Sig-
nal Corps training school is locat-
ed and I expect to be here for
the next six months. After I have
completed the work here I am
to be transferred to the F. S. H.
R. C. in San Antonio to await my
new assignment.'
assignment.
“I am working hard on my
course so I can pass the examin-
ations as I do not want to just be
a rough soldier.
“Wish you could see my new
winter uniforms. They are beaut-
iful and I am proud of them . . .”
“The Scrap Drive in Benavides
has not shown the results it mer-
its,” said Jose R. De Leon, Co-
ordinator of Civilian Defense for
Benavides.
“Men and trucks are needed
to go out and pick up all junk
metal available in our immediate
vicinity,” he pointed out.
Every citizen should search his
or her premises for scrap metal
of any kind and if not able to
bring it to the gin yard should
telephone the City Office and a
truck will be sent for the metal.
Elvin Tilton has brought in a
considerable amount of junk me-
tal, mostly steel, and used his
own trucks and men to do the
hauling. The proceeds from the
sale of the metal will be donated
to the Red Cross and Local Civil-
ian Defense Council.
“More men like Mr. Tilton are
needed to make the scrap metal
drive a success in Benavides,”
concluded Mr. De Leon.
Members of the local scrap
Committee include Calvin North,
Espiridion (Speedy) Martinez, A.
C. Canales, D. C. Chapa, Oscar
Carrillo and Jose R. De Leon.
Gasoline Truck
Strikes De Leon’s
Automboile Thurs.
Last Thursday evening a large
gasoline laden truck owned by
the Osage Oil Company and dri-
ven by T. L. Adams of Corpus
Christi collided with .the Buick
sedan driven by Jose R. De Leon.
The accident occurred about
6:15 o’clock when De Leon at-
tempted to turn in and park in
front of his place of business.
The truck struck the back of
the Buick on the left rear fender,
demolishing the entire left hand
side of the car. Damage was esti-
mated to exceed $800 not count-
ing the two tires and tubes which
will be difficult to replace due
to tire rationing. No one was in-
jured in the accident.
The truck was loaded with
gasoline and enroute to Laredo
when the mishap occurred. Only
damage to the truck was the loss
of the right headlamp and fender.
A considerable amount of gaso-
line was lost from the time of
the collision until the truck came
to a stop down in the next block.
A wrecker from the Coronado
Garage picked up De’ Leon’s car
and towed it to the garage for
storage. The car was covered by
insurance.
Your Help Needed

next four or five weeks,
Mrs. C. D. Adams will have
charge of all local news
items. Since Mrs. Adams is
now on the job, we solicit
the support and co-opera-
tion of every citizen in his
behalf so that all of the
news might be given pub-
licity in these columns. It
has always been our desire
to cover all local news items
and your co-operation is
needed at this time.—The

Prompt Action
By Firemen Saves
Frame Building
Quite an excitement was caus-
ed Friday at noon when the small
residence of Ruperto Canales
caught fire from a gas connection
that was being replaced.
Fire Chief Adolfo Canales and
the City Fire Department were
at the scene immediately and
quicklv extinguished the flames.
Little damage resulted.
Second Class
In First-Aid
Now Underway
The second class in First-Aid
instruction opened Monday, Sep-
tember 14, with twenty students
enrolled. Nineteen of this num-
ber are school teachers. Instruc-
tion is given twice each week by
Dr. F. Lopez Lira.
There has been some difficulty
in getting the civilian population
in Benavides interested in Civil-
ian Defense work.
The First-Aid classes are being
offered to the public with but
one idea in mind ... to provide
adequate information for self-
protection in time of emergency.
Leaders in Civilian Defense
here stress the importance of ev-
eryone becoming conscious of his
responsibilities in connection
with the war effort.
There is a big job to be done
in Benavides and the co-operation
and hearty support of every
citizen is solicited as volunteers
are needed now.
Good Peanut
Hay Has Great
Food Values
Mr. and Mrs. Ireneo Saenz an-
nounce the arrival of their first
born, a baby boy, Monday, Sept-
ember 21.
The young man weighed six
pounds at birth and was name'3
Indalecio Humberto.
Dr. D. E. Schultz was the at-
tending physician.
Neo is employed in the local
Federal Works Agency.
‘Civilian use of shellac has been
practically halted by the WPB,
indicating a further reduction in
the manufacture of phonograph
records.
Texas will have a lot of pea-
nut hay this fall if there is good
weather when it is harvested.
Good peanut hay, without nuts,
is worth ten per cent less than
average quality alfalfa, soybean
and cowpea hay, says E. R. Eud-
aly, dairyman for the Texas A.
and M. College Extension Ser-
vice. It is worth one fourth more
than sorghum cane hay, and
Johnson and sudan grass hay.
provided the two latter were cut
at or before seeding time. If these
were cut after formation of seed,
peanut hay would be worth one
third more. Peanut hay is worth
nearly twice as much as grain
sorghum bundles without heads,
and one fourth more than aver-
age quality prairie hay.
Eudaly says that peanut meal,
of which there should be a large
amount on the market this fall
and winter, is worth as much as
cottonseed meal provided it con-
tains 43 percent protein. He sug-
gests that farmers should read the
tag on the sack because the pro-
tein content of peanut meal has
varied in the past from 43 to 38
per cent, and some as low as 36.
Peanut meal of 38 per cent pro-
tein content is worth one fourth
less than 43 per cent cottonseed
meal, and 38 per cent protein
peanut meal is worth one fifth
less. There probably will be some
41 per cent cottonseed meal on
the market. Eudalv adds, but it
isn’t worth as much as that of 43
per cent protein content.

The Knights of Columbus will

tor of St. Peter’s Church at Lare-
do, will officiate at the mass and

Many Motorists
Disappointed When
They Seek Tires
W. W. Meek, chairman of the
Duval County War Price and Ra-
tioning Board, made it plain this
week that all motorists are going
to have to intensify tire conser-
vation, and that many persons
on the eligible list for tires and
retreads are going to be disap-
pointed, because of the quota
shortage.
“Both truck and passenger car
tire allotments have been reduc-
ed sharply for September,” Mr.
Meek explained, “and we’re
obliged to make these reduced
quotas serve only the most es-
sential needs.”
He pointed out that these re-
ductions come at a time when all
vehicles, especially trucks, are
working overtime to meet the
heavy demand for the fall move-
ment of farm crops, and for war-
time construction and industrial
production.
“The result will be that our
Board will have to apply the eli-
gibility preference yardstick with
even more severity,” he said.
“The shoe will pinch in many
cases, but we hope everyone wiil
take these decisions with a war-
time spirit of patriotism, and
know that we are trying to do our
duty honestly and impartially in
a national emegency.”
The State Office of Price Ad-
ministration headquarters has ad-
vised the Duval County War
Price and Rationing Board, Mr.
Meek added, that from now on,
monthly quotas will reflect a
sharp downward trend, in order
to stay within the year’s rubber
quota.
“It is no longer possible to car-
ry over unfilled applications from
month to month,” Meek explain-
ed. “There will not be sufficient
auotas in future months to re-
lieve such carryovers. We must
now eliminate all applications
that are not essential to the war
effort and to the public health
and safety.”
