SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL
CONSTRUCTION
The Defense Production Admin-
istration scraped the bottom ot the
materials barrel last week and
came up with additional allot-
ments of steel for school and hos-
pitals.
The original allotments for
school and hospital construction
during the first quarter of 1952
were the subject of much con-
cern on the part of Congress No
steel was provided for a number
of projects needed to relieve over-
crowding in existing school sys-
tems or to provide school facilities
near defense plants and military
installations. Since the future of
the nation is dependent upon the
education of our youth, Congress
felt that school construction
should be of the first importance.
Before going into recess. Congress
passed a resolution urging that
the Depense Production Adminis-
tration allot more steel for schools.
Last week, DPA Administrator
Manly Fleischmann announced
that 15,000 tons of steel from the
DPA reserve will be allocated for
school construction, and that 7.-
500 tons will be allocated for hos-
pital construction.
As a result, all of the 1,400
school projects now under way-
will be continued, and 500 new
projects will be started in the
first quarter of 1952. All hos-
pitals now under construction will
be continued, and 50 new starts
will be allowed.
tice would mean little change in
our over-all defense plans, it
would have one all-important re-
sult—our young men no longer
would be losing their lives on the
field of battle.
RIP N' SNORT CLUB
Six visitors from Honey Grove
were guests at the Hip N Snort
Club's party Monday night at
Delta Country Club Approxi-
mately 50 members and visitors
attended the dance, for which
Jack Silmat and C. E. Whitlock
called and the club musicians
played string accompaniment.
Mrs. J. Curtis Pardue and her
mother. Mrs. J. C. Foster of Ben
Franklin, were in Cooper Monday
afternoon in connection with bus-
iness. Mrs. Foster received med-
ical treatment at Janes Clinic and
Hospital. Mrs. Pardue teaches
school at Ben Franklin and is
secretary-treasurer of the recent-
ly organized Delta County F.TSTC
Alumni Association. Her husband
is a member of the Cooper high
school faculty.
Martha Silman, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. John Silman of Gilmer,
formerly of Cooper, was chosen
Christmas Queen for Upshur
county. Representing Gilmer High
School. Martha competed with a
large group of Upshur high school
girls. She is a granddaughter of
Mrs. J. J. Silman and niece of
Jack Silman of Cooper, and was
born and reared in Cooper.
DEFENSE PROGRAM
Even if an armistice is worked
out in Korea, there is expected
to be little change in plans for
military production next year. De-
fense expenditures will total more
than S60-billion during 1952. in
comparison with slightly more
than S40-billion during 1951.
However, an armistice would
simplify defense production prob-
lems to some extent. During the
past year, we have had to produce
sufficient war material to build up
our defenses and also to replace
weapons destroyed in battle. If
we do not have to replace weapons
lost in battle, all of our production
can be used in building up onr
military strength.
Despite the fact that an armis-
Capt. Harry C. Ward. Jr., re-
called to service from his teach-
ing position at West Delta school,
was in Cooper Monday changing

two children to reside during his
training in Houston.

COTTON ACREAGE REPORT
All producers in the county-
have been mailed a card on which
to list their cotton acreage and
production for 1951. These cards
containing your reported acreage
will be used in computing your

! marketing quotas be declared in
effect again.
You who fail to make your re-
port will have to use an estimated
acreage which might not be satis-
factory so you better get busy and
file your report, next year will be
too late.
We have received reports ac-
[ counting for approximately 24,000
acres, which we regard as slight-

: planted to cotton this year. If
you did not receive a card and
you want to make your report,
just come to the office and we
will gladly furnish you a blank
i card.

There's no smoke or soot

BILL is a smart young
man who believes no
woman should be a slave
to a kitchen! He knows
that a modern electric
range means more hears
of leisure for the wife.
Thermostatic temperature
control maintains an even
heat and a timing device
turns the oven on and off
automatically, so very lit-
tle supervision is neces-
sary. Of course, all three
wise men knew that an
electric range is a gift to

\A/E'LL put it up to you! There must be plenty
^ * of good reasons why more people buy
Chevrolets than any other car.
Here arc some things to think about.
There's the way Chevrolet looks. Nice clean,
curved lines—like cars in the high-pricc field!
Chevrolet’s Body by Fisher sets the pace
among low-priced cars.
There's the way Chevrolet rides and handles.
The smoothness and big-car comfort of Uni-
tized Knee-Action. Bigger brakes biggest in the
field-for safer, surer stops. Finest no-shift and
standard driving at lowest cost with Power-
glide or Synchro-Mesh transmission.
There’s the way Chevrolet saves. Chevrolet
is the lowest-priced line in the field and the
savings go on and on with low operating costs.
There are plenty more reasons why Chev-
rolet is America's favorite. Come in and let
us show them to you.
