Town And Rural
Boys Are Treated
Alike In Draft
AUSTIN—IP The draft treats
country boys and city hoys alike in
Texas; State Selective Service
Headquarter - said today .
Brig. Gen. Paul i,. Wakefield
Slate Selective Service director,
cited records showing that 53 per
cent of Texas’ draft registrants live
in predominantly rural areas,
whereas 54 per rent of actual induc-
tions come from those areas.
lie added that 17 per cent of the
state's draft registrants live in
predominantly urban areas, and the
actual induction figure for the ci-
ties, out of the state total, is 46
per cent.
"Apparently," Wakefield said,
"both men from the country and
city are pulling their share of the
load It's just another indication
that democracy works in this coun-
try," he observed.
5 doctors prove

If you take laxatives regularly -here's how you
can atop!
Because 5 New York doctors now have
proved you may break the laxative habit. \nd
establish your natural powers of regularity.
Eighty-three percent of the case.; tested did it.
So can you.
Stop taking whatever you now take. Instead:
Every night for one week take Carter’s Lit tle
Liver Pills. Second wed- one each night.
Third week one ever;, other night. Then
nothing!
Every day: drink eight glasses of water; set a
definite time for regularity.
Five New York d < ? proved this plan can

How can a laxat :v>- break the laxative habit.?
Because Carter's Little Liver Pills “unblock”
the lower digestive tract and from then on let
it make use of its own vnf /• ;/ powers.
Further- Carter's Little Liver Pills contain
no habit-forming drugs.
Break the laxative habit . . . with Carter's

dents of Nolan County for their
generous support of the 1951
Christmas Seal Sale, conducted by

Delmus Perry.
"There is still time for Nolan

their 1951 Christmas Seal letters,
although the campaign officially
closed Christmas, according to Mr.
Hawley.
"Late Christmas Seal returns
are needed so that the Association
might realize its $2,200 quota,” Mr.
Hawley stated. “We fell short of
our quota by nearly $300, hut we
are confident we shall finally reach
the quota. We are deeply grateful,
however, to the many residents

An enthusiastic vote of
thanks is due the people of Nolan
County for their generous purchase
and widespread use of Christmas
Seals."
Jaybird Primary
Ruled No) Part 0!
Texas Elections
NEW ORLEANS—HP—'The U S
Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ;
ruled that Negroes are not entitled
(o vote in primary elections of the ;
iaybird party in Fort Bend County, ;
Texas.
A group of Negro citizens filed a
class action against the party in:
March. 1950, and a Texas district!
judge upheld the contention that
they be allowed to vote in the coun-1
ty.
But, the Texas judge was overrul-
ed in the opinion handed down by \
Appeals Judge Joseph C. Hutche-1
son Jr. Judge Hutcheson held that
the jaybird party was not a part
of the election machinery of Texas
but was a private organization
which uses straw ballots among
white voters to determine what can-
didates should he endorsed for
county and precinct offices
The ruling found that candidates
endorsed by the jaybird party are
not certified to the Democratic par-
ty, “nor do they run in that pri-
mary under any symbol or nomen-
clature or with any status except
that of an individual." the court
said.
Judge Hutcheson ruled that the
lower court erred in that it "mis-
takenly applied to the undisputed
facts in this case principles applied
in decisions dealing with entirely
different facts and situations.”

British Protest

TEHRAN, Iran, Jari. 16 W —
Great Britain "formally and em-

Iranian action closing them con-
travened the 1857 most-favored-na-

I Iran.
The British said the Iranian ac-

J be the result of a drop in octaine
| ratings of gasoline sold at service
stations last summer.
The Bureau of Mines reported to-
day that octane ratings fell to their
lowest point since the winter of
1919-50, chiefly because of govern-
ment restrictions on lead which is
used in making tetraethyl lead, a
component of gasoline, and increas-
ing demands for aviation gasoline.
The octane rating of premium-
priced gasoline averaged 89.7 last
summer, compared with 90.3 six
months earlier. The rating of reg-
ular gasoline averaged 82.5. com-
pared with 83.7 in the winter of
1950-51.

Kiwanis Brownwood
Circle K Launched
Lt. Gov. Bailey G. Choate of the
Kiwanis district for this area Mon-
day night installed new officers for
(lie “Circle K" Club at Brownwood
first one established in the state.
This is a college students' organ-
ization similar to the senior Kiwan-
is Club and the high school key

now must pay their employes at
least 75 cents an hour and at least
time and a half after 40 hours a
week.
William J. Rogers, Regional Di-
rector of the U. S. Department of
Labor’s Wage and Hour Division
here, says that probably several
thousand employes of two classes
will benefit from the fact that their
communities now have reached
2,500.
The first group consists of those
who were not eligible for overtime
pay under the "seasonal opera-
tions" provision of the Wage and
Hour Law. The second class con-
sists of those who were exempt
from both the minimum wage and
overtime provisions because they
were employed in the "area of
production.”
Consequently, Texas towns which
in 1940 had less than 2,500 popula-
tion met that part of the test. Now
that their population is greater
than 2,500, thev do not qualify on
that phase of the definition.
Child labor provisions within the
Federal statute are not changed or
affected by the adoption of the new
census figures. Oppressive child
labor in interstate commerce, or in
the production of goods for inter-
state commerce, is prohibited.
