APPEALS TO LOCAL FARMERS TO
UPHOLD QUALITY OF THEIR CROPS

Tire Rationing Board
Issues Eight Tire
Sale Certificates
Coordinato r of National Cream
Program Asks Them to
Sign Pledge
Farmers of Gillespie County have
been appealed to help along the na-
tion’s war effort by eliminating
food waste and by producing only
farm crops of unquestioned quality.
The appeal comes from H. C.
Darger, corodinator of the National
Cream Quality Program, Chicago.
Mr. Darger is immediately con-
cerned with the waste involved in
that portion of cream produced on
farms which, because of a low stan-
dard of cleanliness or care in pro-
duction or handling or perhaps in-
frequent marketing, is found on
delivery to the creamery to be unfit
for manufacturing into butter under
the stringent federal food law re

eight applications, each case came

KERRVILLE, Jan. 11—Mrs. De-

hearing here Sunday on a murder
charge in connection with the death
of her husband, 30 year old ranch-

KATE SMITH’S TEN GOLDEN
RULES FOR DEMOCRACY
The Ten Golden Rules for Demo-
cracy were presented by Kate
Smith on her “Kate Smith Speaks”
program, Monday, December 15,
over the Columbia Broadcasting
System in honor of the One Hun-
dred and Fiftieth Anniversary of
the ratification of the Bill of
Rights. The Council For Democra-
cy urges that you not only read
and memorize them but put them
into practice in your daily life.
1. Do Your Full Part In The
Defense of Your Country. A free
society means not only rights but
duties as well. America is now in
danger, and every man, woman and
child must play a part in its de-
fense.
2. Know The Workings of
Democracy. Make sure that “the
democratic way of life” is not just
an empty phrase. Study its mean-
ing in contrast with the assorted
tyrannies in the world today.
3. Be Thoughtful Regarding
The Issues Of The Day. Remem-
ber that the will of the majority
can make for good only if every
citizen is intelligent and conscien-
tious in thinking things through.
Truth can be achieved by contro-
versy only if that controversy is
honest and informed.
4. Protect Your Heritage—The
Bill Of Rights.. Remember that
these rights cannot be guaranteed
except by men and women willing
to fight for them. A society of
free men is the most powerful
thing on earth. We must use that
power to keep us free.
5. Try to Understand The
Ways And Ideas Of Others. Dem-
ocracy means faith in the individ-
ual, faith in progress through the
cooperation of those who may dif-
fer from each other in everything
but a devotion to truth, liberty and
justice. In order to pull together,
we must know our team-mates.
6. Help Put The Ideas Of Dem-
ocracy Into Practice. Accept your
civic responsibilities, not merely by
voting in elections, but by working
actively to abolish social injustices
and to make possible a fuller life
for the average man. Don’t blame
others until you have done your
own bit.
7. Promote Freedom Every-
where. Remember that the bro-
therhood of man is not just a noble
ideal; it is the only groundwork
on which liberty can be built. Today
more than ever it is true that in-
justice anywhere on the face of
the earth can quickly bring civili-
zation toppling like a house of
cards. An attack on anyone is an
attack on all.
8. Beware Of Subversive Pro-
paganda. Just as “in union there
is strength”, so in disunity there
is weakness. It is because they
know this that subversive propa-
gandists in our midst are seeking
to get us fighting among ourselves,
stirring up confusion and discord,

AMERICAN FOOD.”
Some timely words of caution on
two problems pertaining to the
production of cream at this season
were issued by Mr. Darger. Do not
keep cream on the farm too long
even in cold weather, he states.
If held too long, it is likely to de-
velop old, rancid flavors. A cave
or cellar may be of the right tem-
perature for holding the cream,
but if musty it will likely spoil

guarded against. Frozen cream does
not make high-grade butter; the

that it results in mealy, oily, un-
desirable butter. Cream is best kept
in a clean odor-proof place, in a
temperature above freezing, and
must be protected from freezing

According to Mr. Baze, members
of the committee will meet within

The above quota does not include
defense bond sales which have been
made in this county prior to Jan-

EFFECTS OF TIRE BAN
Everyone who depends upon the
use of a car for work, for business,
or for pleasure will do well to
weigh the full implications of the
drastic ban placed by the govern-
ment on the sale of new automobile
tires.
Far more severe than anticipated,
these restrictions make it virtually
impossible for the average motor-
ist, unless he is a physician, nurse,
or veterinarian, to replace the tires
he now owns with new ones. Ob-
viously the authorities at Washing-
ton are preparing for a complete
severance of lines of communica-
tions with the Far East, where the
major part of our raw rubber is
obtained.
Although restrictions have not
yet been placed on the use of rub-
ber for recapping and retreading
tires, it is to be presumed this will
follow in due course. For all rub-
ber must not be rigidly conserved
to meet the big and increasing de-
mands of military mechanization.
Unless the tire prohibition is
modified, its influence on present-
day modes of living, so dependent
upon instant and rapid transporta-
tion, will be revolutionary. Auto-
mobiles will be immobilized as their
tires wear cut, and we shall be
forced to make severe changes in
our customs and habits.
Some of these changes are in-
stantly envisioned. Workers who
now travel 10 or 15 miles a day to
their places of employment in the
family car may have to move clos-
er to their jobs or seek new ones.
Pleasure driving will become a lux-
j ury of the past. Roadside busi-
Lange gatherings attended the
two-day demonstrations at the
Lockers, Inc., plant on Monday and

ager of the Lockers, the new plant
is now completely finished and

Morgenthau Denies Savings
To Be Seized
WASHINGTON, Jam. 12—Sec.
of the Treasury Henry Morgen-

Government had any plan or in-

deposits.
“In view of recurring rumors
that the Government is planning
to confiscate savings accounts, Sec.
Morgenthau today entered an em-
phatical denial that this was so.
“ I wish to state most emphat-
ically that there are no foundations
whatsoever for such rumors,” Mor-
genthau said.
“The Federal Government does
not have under consideration any
proposal regarding the confiscation
of savings deposits of this country
for any purpose.
“Furthermore,” he added, “any
one circulating rumors of this
character is acting against the
welfare of the nation.”

ed by breaking it up into parts. But
an immaterial thing, such as hon-
esty or truth or justice—or a hu-
man soul—cannot be so destroyed.
It has not parts to separate and it
cannot, therefore, be broken up.
The death of the body does not in-
volve the destruction of the soul.
The Human Soul cannot Die
It must live on forever. The very
idea which man possesses that his
soul will never die, and his intense
desire that he should live forever,
proves this fact. With death every-
where around him man could never
have conceived the idea of immor-
tality but for the fact that he has
a soul which will never die.
The Desire for Perfect Happiness
is common to all men. It must,
therefore, have been implanted in
human nature by the Author of Na-
ture—God. The very fact that men
desire perfect happiness is proof
that it is possible to attain it.
It cannot, however, be satisfied
in this life, for happiness that will
end is not perfect happiness, and
it is certain that every man must
one day die. Perfect happiness,
therefore, can only be attained in
a future life which will not end—
an -eternal life in which man can
find that perfect happiness for
which his whole nature yearns.
We know, therefore that every mr
has a Soul.
We know that the Soul can rue
die, or be destroyed.
We know that God has prep?,
perfect and never ending li
complete happiness for eacl
of us.
