SCENES FROM C. C. C. CAMPS
KAA TO PAY $550,000,000
TO FARMERS
WASHINGTON, April 9.—AAA of-
ieials estimated today they will pay
ut approximately $550,000,000 to
fmerican farmers for taking part in
he 1935 crop adjustment program,
his is $20,000,000 less than the pay-
ments for 1934.
At the same time officials indi-
ited there was a growing sentiment
-ithin the agriculture adjustment ad-
ministration to develop a new type of
roduction control which would be
ased on regions rather than on crops.
Benefit and acreage rental pay-
ents already made to farmers are
3W approaching the $1,000,000,000
ark. Reduced payments this year
ill come largely in the corn-hog
hid tobacco programs, where restric-
irins hae been eased.
Cotton farmers, however, will re-
five more than they did last year,
ficials estimated. On the basis of
resent contracts, AAA officials es-
mate $126,906,000 will go into the
juthland as compared with $115,-
[10,000 for 1934.
[Money to make these payments is
lised through processing taxes
Ihich now are being attacked in con-
ress.
IaAA officials generally view the
irrent programs as emergency and
jmporary adjustments to remove
pavy crop surpluses which existed
the time the AAA was created.
Iw, they say the time is ripe to
Ike permanent adjustments in each
Igion.
1 Under such a regionalized pro-
lam, the South, for instance, would
divided into sub-regions, such as
large-scale cotton area of Texas
Id Oklahoma, the Delta cotton sec-
in of the lower Mississippi and the
*dmont section.
Theat growing areas would be

new institution for Lampasas, hav-

first loan of the association was made

this week for two days to assist in a
campaign t,o build up the assets of
the institution to make loans to build
up our community, and as a result
of this short campaign $5,000 in cash
was subscribed, besides the install-
ment shares sold. $57,600 is now avail-
able to build new homes, remodel
and refinance loans.
The government will put up three
dollars for every dollar raised local-
ly, bringing in outside capital Ito

made since operation started and this
of course, tends to relieve unemploy-
ment and contributes to the revival
of business.
The first dividend declared by the
association was four and five per
cent, based on the first five months
of operation. This also promotes
thrift and provides a safe invest-
ment of funds for local people.
The officers of the association are:
Charles Wachendorfer, president; J.
R. Key, vice president; R. J. Paine,
secretary-treasurer, and J. J. Byrne,
attorney. The board of directors is

THE NEW HIGHWAY IS
TREAT FOR SORE EYES
(Lometa Reporter)
A section of the new highway 74A
is now completed, and it serves as an
index as to just how the entire pro-
ject will look when completed. Ap-
proximately a mile from where the
new highway crosses the old road
to Mills line is now complete, and the
workmen are busy this week clean-
ing up and placing the surplus rocks
in an artistic manner about the trees
that were left for beautification and
travelers’ convenience.
In the Dee Jones place on the
creek extra right, of way was secured
and a beautiful elm grove makes an
ideal spot for weary tourists to stop
for lunch and rest.
Also on the side of the mountain
in the Jones place a nine-acre plot
was bought for a park, and it will
be improved and beautified by the
state just as soon as they can get
to it.
On the road from Lometa to Goldth-
waite, traversing as it does, a natural
park almost all the way, there will
be located many little parks, each
of which will add to the scenic beau-
ty, as well as convenience of travel-
ers.
Engineer Dillon says the work from
the railroad overpass to the Mills
County line will likely be completed
within the next two weeks, and then
the crews and machinery will be mov-
ed to this side of the Eden branch
and complete this stretch.

WAR PROFITS BAN
VOTED IN LOWER HOUSE
WASHINGTON, April 9.—A bill to.
forbid war-time profiteering, stren- -
gthened and invigorated through the-
persistent efforts of a block of youth-
ful independents, today received the-
overwhelming approval of the house-
Successful in forcing leaders to in-
clude a potentially severe excess?
profits tax, the young progressives^,
just before passage, rallied their for-
ces again and struck out the meas-
ure’s authorization for a conscripted
army.
While the bill as it now stands
would prohibit the president from or-
dering a draft, it could not prevent
a wartime congress from enacting a
conscription law.
Shortly after the house had acted,.,
new measures aimed at curbing
causes of war were introduced in- <
the senate. They were contained ixs .
resolutions authorizing the president. '
to restrict the issuance of passports--
to nationals seeking to enter war
zones and clamping restrictions on
loans by citizens of this country to>
belligerent nations.
GIRL SCOUT TROOP ORGANIZED*
Mrs. E. M. Pharr and Miss Mary
Eunice Taliaferro have recently or-
ganized a girl scout troop. At pres-
ent they are only allowed to enroll
twenty-four girls, and the member-
ship to date being full.
Several of the girls have complet-
ed their tenderfoot work, and are-
eager for more study. The movement
has met with a hearty response from'
both girls and parents, and the in-
structors are very enthusiastic and
happy with what they have so far-
accomplished. The girl scout work::
is just as essential as the boy scout
work and an effort on the part of the-
parents and citizenship should be put
forth to retain this group study for-
the moral and physical upbuilding:
of our youth.
