nounced today that a flat cut

"Effective November, 1942. and

The smooth running play of
the Orphans was just too muc

War Bond Coach
Very Attractive
One of the most unique War
Bond traveling salesman in
America today, selling bonds
for Uncle Sam, is th% beautiful
new Texas and Pacific War
Bond Coach. The coach is pain-
ted red, white and blue and
carries the slogan ' 'Buy War
Bonds" in white.
"We are proud of the War
Bond Coach, and believe it will
be a forceful agency in the
great War Bond Campaign,"
said Frank Jenson, General
Passenger Agent. "Through this
effort it is expected that thou-
sands of dollars worth of War
Bonds will be sold."

ey now being disbursed in ex-

federal grants to the state."
Since the state waived con-
sideration of the ability of rel-
atives to support aged appli-
cants, the roll have made a net
gain from 122,059 in January,
1941, to the estimated 182,000

age of these were not being
suported by relatives when eli-

Lynx scored a touchdown in
both the third and fourth quar-
ters. In a desperate attempt to
score, the Jackets took to the
airwaves in the last stanza, but
their effirts were futile against
the tight Orphan pass defense.
In spite of the fact the Lynx
were so much heavier and held
the edge in every department,
the Jackets gave a good ac-
count of themselves and even
in defeat looked good. Several
of the visiting players said the
locals were as tough as any
team they had met this season.
Mineola made four first downs
IOOF made six; the Jackets
gained 96 yards from scrim-
$1,200,000 per month to the cost mage, lost 33 for a net of 63

bers go to the Surgical dressing

lowing each meeting. The club
also set a goal of 100 dressings
