AUTO STAMP
SALE STARTS
W. A. Thomas, collector of Inter-
nal Revenue, announced today that
the new 96.00 Automobile Use Tax
Stamp was placed on sale in all
post offices and major offices-of the
collector of internal revenue on Sat-
urday, June 9, 1945. The law requires
the owner of every motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways to
buy this stamp and to display it on
the vehicle beginning July 1, 1945.
The law provides both cash and
jail penalties for failure to pay this
tax. To protect themselves against
unnecessary penalties, Collector
Thomas advised owners of motor
vehicles not to be misled by false
rumors alleging that this tax has
been repeule.i.
The stamps will be sold over the
counter at all post offices and major
offices of internal revenue collectors.
In addition, collectors of internal
revenue will fill mai^ orders when
accompanied by cash, money orders
or certified checks. Personal checks
cannot be accepted for the purchase
of revenue stamps.
The law requires that the stamp
be prominently displayed on the
motor vehicle on and after July 1,
1945. Where possible, the stamp
should be placed on the windshield as
recommended by the proper officials
of each State.
Motorists will find the stamps
usually will stick if they dampen the
windshield instead of the stamp. They
should avoid repeated dampening of
the stamp. Motorists who desire to
do so may reinforce the stamp with
adhesive tape of similar aids.
To protect themselves against loss
or theft, Collector Thomas advised
motorists to keep a separate record
of the serial number which appears
on each stamp. Motorists also are
asked to write on the back of the
stamp the make model, serial number
and State license number of the ve-
hicle.

A grateful Nation has girded it-
self for the Mighty Seventh War
Lean for 14 billions of dotlari, half
of which has been assigned aa the
Individual sales quota. According to
reports from state chairmen reach-
ing Ted R. Gamble, national di-
rector of the War Finance Division
of the Treasury in Washington, the
Nation is ready for the huge task.
Mr. Gamble was enthusiastic about
results. He said “We're prepared to
do the best job in the 7th War
Loan.’’ Mr. Gamble said that “not
only is there more money available
than ever before
in each state, but
individual in-
come will be
higher in the pe-
riod of the 7 th
War Loan than
in any previous
War Loan pe-
riod."
Secretary of the
Treasury Henry*
Morgenthau said
seven billions of MORGENTHAU
dollars has been
assigned as the quota for individual
investors and that the major
emphasis throughout the drive will
be placed on the quota for individ-
uals. The individual quota is the
highest established in any of the
previous drives, the secretary said.
The E Bond quota alone is 4 bil-
lion. The 7th War Loan seeks near-
ly as much in the one drive as was
asked in the first two drives of last
year which were held up to this
time. The two drives of this year,
therefore, will seek nearly as much
as was sought in the three drives
of 1944.
The Secretary stated that there is
every evidence that Federal ex-
penditures are going to remain at
a high level for some time to come,
and that the Seventh War Loan pro-
gram was designed to obtain maxi-
mum funds necessary to prosecute
the War from non-bank investors.
The securities, which will be sold
under the direction of the State War
Finance Committees, are as follows:
Series E, F and G Savings Bonds,
Series C Savings Notes, 2%% Bonds,
2>/4% Bonds, l\% Bonds, %% Cer-
tificates of Indebtedness. The \Vi%
Bonds will not be offered in the
Drive to corporations.
The Drive for individuals will ex-
tend from May 14 to June 30. How-
ever, an intensification of activities
in the sale of Series E bonds began
April 9, when millions of persons on
payroll savings plans throughout
the country were asked to enlarge
their participation as a part of the
Seventh War Loan. All Series E,
F and G Savings Bonds and Scries
C Savings Notes processed through
the Federal Reserve Banka between
April 9 and July 7 will be credited
to the Drive.
During the final phase of the Drive
which will cover the period from
June 18 through June 39, subscrip-
tions will be received from all ot.'.i"
non-bank investors for the 2>4% a.-.cl
2M>% marketable bonds and the cer-
tificates of indebtedness.
-T- and laws; to preserve our A-
meriean institution of Freedom; to
defend the United State* from her
enemies of any nature whatsoever.
One aim of said Council is to try
and unite under one great body of
the Veterans organisations that now
exist, such as The Navy .Mothers,
The Marine Mothers, The War Dads’,
etc. in order that we may better eerve
the service men and women of A-
merica now in service or have been
honrably discharged .
The American Veterans of World
War II Council membership is com-
posed of mothers foster-mothers,
wives, widows, sisters and daughters
of American War II service men and
women of the army of the United
States, or any other branch of serv-
■ ice during World War II.
Council No. 1. Austin, Texas, gpon-
; sored the “Living Memorial’’ pro-
ject for McCIoskey General Hospital,
Temple, Texas—which was securing
funds for 17,000 shrubs and trees to
beautify the 215 acre grounds. (The
government has since seen the value
of this and is now carrying on such
(work.) Council No. 1 has also fur-
nished many recreational rooms in
the Veteran’s Hospital, furnishes en-
tertainment for the hospitals, per-
forms some courtesy for all groups
of boys who are leaving for the train-
ing camp, and many such things as
can be done by any such local group.
If any one is interested in such an
organization for your Community
write to Mrs. John Lee Smith, Capitol
Station, Austin, Texas for further
information.
May God grant that on V-J Day,
that women of America will go for-
ward, courageously with faith in each
other and in the ideals upon which
our American Constitution was writ-
ten, faith in the eternal principles of
Americanism, faith in our ability to
maintain it’s challenging program.
Only then will the Star of Hope rise
over America’s destiny and point to
us a realization of the sublime ideals
of true Americanism.
Mrs. John Lee Smith, State Pres.
American Veteran of World War II
Council.
SHINN Con. from Page One.
Springs, where his widow and six
children reside.
He was inducted in the Navy April
28, 1944, and was stationed San
Diego, California, Texas A. & M.
College, New York, Norfolk, Va.,
and in Florida.
Shinn was home on furlough from
a I’re-commissioning training course
at Norfolk for duties overseas aboard
'a new destroyer of the Atlantis Fleet
when the tragedy occured. He wore
the American and ‘European-African-
Middle Eastern Theatre ribbons for
service here and overseas.
The victim was born May 21, 1908,
at Myrtle Springs, the son of John
tlon M
atttended Tyler--------- , ,
specialising in telegraphy. From Ty-
ler, he went to Albany, Texas to work.
Returning to Myrtle Springe, he
maq-ied the former Ethel Waite. The
Shinn*, were parents of six children,
who also survive him.
SR Inn saw combat in the north
Atlantic aboard the destroyer escort,
Neunzer, on which he served as a
radio operator. After foreign duty
he returned to New York to be re-
assigned from Norfolk after his com-
missioning as a third class petty of-
ficer.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home Wednesday aftemoc-.
Survivors include his widow, six
children, Clarence Elmer, Doris, Ken-
neth, Gerald, Patsy and Richard. Be-
sides his mother of Grand Saline,
he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Lee
Kuykendall and a niece, Mrs. Ruth
Palmer, of Grand Saline, with whom
Mrs. Brown lives. Other survivors
include three brothers, James Shinn
of Forney, Cleo, 39, a corporal in the
Army Air Forces at Camp Normoyle,
San Antonio, and Charlie, 41, a car-
penter’s mate, first class, in the
Navy Seabees on Iwo Jima.

fore they could be moved out to the
east.
J. B. Miller, manager of the South-
western States Telephone Co. here,
reported this morning that toll lines
that went out in the Tuesday storm
were back in service today.
“A right smart damage was done
to telephone lines,” he said. A wet
cable in town was still giving line-
men some trouble, he added. Several
private telephones were cut off by
the storm.
At least three places in city streets
were washed out by the water, accord-
ing to Street Commissioner J. S.
Land. These breaks in the pavement
x ill be fixed as soon as possible after
ground is dry and workmen can work
'fficicntly repairing them.
C. O. Dixon, manager of the South-
western Gas and Electric Co. and
jioneer of the truck vegetable move-
nent here, reported today that only
minor damage was done in Grand
Saline to power lines, but four high
lines in rural areas sustained some
damage.

ever, both groups were pessir___
over salvage prospects until a few
days had transpired and extent of
damage could be checked.
Although Grand Saline experienced
the grestest amount of precipitation
of any community in Texas Tues-
day, other urban and rural areas
were no*, to fortunate even though
they had less rainfall.
Wills Point reported 7V4 inches of
rainfall. J. W. Melton of the Edge-
wood Enterprise reported train traf-
fic between Edgewood and Fruitvale
w s annulled by the storm which
swept out several hundred feet of
track in two places. Traffic to Alba
also was annulled immediately after
the storm and equipment was being
rensired today.
While highways were covered east
and west of Gland Saline by high
water, vehicular traffic was curtailed
only a few hours, and motorists were
getting through conveniently yester-
day and today.
Probably the worst damage in the
rural areas that will not be recovered
in future growing seasons was that
which occured in the bottomlands,
where water washed soil away down
to the plow sole.
C. F. Washmon, loading manager
of the Van Zandt County Vegetable
Growers Association, and himself a
farmer, was more pessimistic that
Dixon and others who made surveys
of the tomato damage.
Washmon feared for the worst,
and believed only a slight tayaring
off of the weather fr the oetter
would permit salvage of the deal to
any great extent. He and Dixon a-
greed that wind wrecked the most
damage.
The storm was not without the
individual tragedies to private citizens.
J. M. York of Grand Saline is reported
to have lost about 50 nice frying-size
chickens in the downpour, and For-
rest Thompson, visiting in the Pruitt
community, discovered a tree had
fallen across the hood of his car dur-
ing the night, causing considerable
damage. Thompson and his wife
however, were not in the car.
Skies were clear today and the
sun was shining, bringing hopes of
more pleasant weather at the close of
tthe week, and enabling growers and
buyers to attempt a return to nor-
malacy in gathering crops. Temp-
eratures which dropped several de-
grees early this week were recover-
Ulg.
The Dallas Weather Bureau fore-
cast partly cloudy ‘for Thursday and
Friday in East Texas, with scattered
thundershowers in north and upper
coast Thursday and in north and cen-
tral portions Friday. Moderate to
fresh south and southeast winds were
forecast.
