Armistice Day falls on Sunday
this year, and there will be plen-
ty of amusement and entertain-
ment. Talco Legion Post will
have a barbecue and dance on
Saturday night, Nov. 10, and Bo-
gata Stock Show on Monday and
Tuesday, Nov. 12-13. Why not
a home-coming of former citizens
for these two events?
A letter to this newspaper
from a representative of a large
Chicago manufacturer wants a
large building for a factory. The
company is decentralizing its
activities. There is no such
building here as this manufac-
turer wants, but if local capital
wants to build one, we will be
glad to turn informatioh we have
to interested parties.
Cotton Gets Huge
A campaign to raise money to
meet government needs to be
known as the “Victory Loan”
opens Monday, Oct. 29. It should
be subscribed to help bring our
fighting men home, treat the
wounded, provide mustering-out
pay and take care of our occu-
pational forces in Germany and
Japan. We oversubscribed the
other seven bond quotas while
the war was on and must not fail
in this one.
TRACTOR OVERTURNS;
CUNNINGHAM PAIR HURT
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Oats were in-
jured when the tractor on which they
were riding overturned crossing the
bridge over Brushy Creek, two miles
south of Cunningham last Monday.
Both were treated at a physician’s
office at Minter. Mrs. Oats will be
confined to her home for several
days, although her injuries were not
considered serious.
ELEVEN INJURED BY STORM
NEAR PITTSBURG SUNDAY
Eleven injured, one seriously, de-
struction of about fifteen houses with
damage running in many thousands
of dollars, resulted from a wind of
tornado velocity which struck in the
Leesburg community and north of
Pittsburg, Camp county, Sunday.
Trees were uprooted, telephone
and electric wires snapped, signs
blown down, and havoc wrought in
general.
THE SPIKE “SHRUNK”
Recently I have been having trou-
ble with public laundries shrinking
my unmentionables, so I found a
large railroad spike and tied a tag
to it with the inscription: “Try and
shrink this!” When my laundry was
returned, I opened it and found a
small carpet tack with a tag tied to
it, inscribed: “We did.”

Capt. Jack Howiaon and wife, and
■on Jack, Jr, are visiting in the
home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. W. Howiaon. Capt. Howison land-
ed at the Port of Boston, Oct. 7, af-
ter having sailed from La Harve,
France, Sept. 30 with the 81st Tank
Battalion aboard the ship India Vic-
tory. After a short stay in Camp
Miles Standish, Mass., he was trans-
ferred to Ft. Sam Houston, where
he was met by his wife and son. He
and his family drove from San An-
tonio to Camp Wolters where Capt.
Hqwison went through the separa-
tion center. Capt. Howison is now on
terminal leave and will revert to an
inactive status in the Officers Reserve
Corps on Dec. 19.
Capt. Howison was inducted into
the service July 11, 1941, at which
time he was assigned to the 3rd Ar-
mored Division and stationed at
Camp Park, La. He served with this
organization until April 28, 1942 at
which time he entered the Armored
Force Officers Training School at
Ft. Knox, Ky. On July 25, 1942, he
was commissioned a 2nd Lt., in the
Army of the United States and was
assigned to the 7th Armored Divi-
sion at Camp Polk, La. After going
through maneuvers with the 7th Ar-
mored Division in Louisiana and
the California desert and a short
training period in Ft. Benning, Ga.
he sailed from New York with the
17th Tank Battalion of the 7th Ar-
mored Division on June 6, 1944. Af-
ter picking up equipment in Eng-
land, his organization landed in
France on Aug. 11, as a part of Gen-
eral Patton’s 3rd Army and made
the push through France with that
Army.
Capt. Howison served 18 months
overseas with the 17th Tank Battal-
ion in the capacity of a reconnais-
sance platoon leader, battalion in-
telligence officer and battalion op-
erations officer respectively.
Capt. Howison wears the European
Theater of Operations ribbon with
four battle stars wltich were award-
ed for the battles of Northern
France, the Ardennes, Rhineland and
Central Europe. He was awarded a
citation for Meritorious Service dur-
ing the drive through France and a
Bronze Star Medal for services ren-
dered in the battle of the bulge.
Jack and his family will make
their home in Austin, after their
visit with the Howisons and a visit
with her mother at Electra.

WANT ADS
NACOGDOCHES. — An expansive
farm-to-market program as an es-
sential factor in reconversion was
given unqualified endorsement at
the eighth annual Government In-
stitute here Thursday.
Even the proposed imposition of a
cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline found
little opposition among the 200 coun-
ty officials attending the two-day
session..
“Our returning soldiers are not go- j
ing back to the farm if they have to
slog through muddy roads to their
markets,” warned County Judge Jim
Cantrell of McKinney.
Cantrell told how the demand for
better rural highways had brought
about the organization of a Farm-
to-Markgt Roads Association in Col-
lin county, which aims at the com- i
plete elimination of mudholes.
Virtually the entire Friday pro-
gram was devoted to rural roads.
DcWitt Greer, Texas State Highway
Engineer, opened with an explana- j
tion of highway projects planned by
the Federal and State Governments.
Work already has started, he said,
on the postwar program calling for
the expenditure of $173,000,000 in
Texas. Of this, $60,000,000 will be
on farm-to-market roads.
The state is to match federal funds, j
Greer explained, and the contracts j
call for two-lane dustless rural thor- j
oughfarcs.
The 7,000 miles of country roads
slated for improvement under the'
federal program falls far short of the
state’s needs, it was pointed out.
Twenty-five thousand miles would
be a more nearly correct figure. The
cent-a-gallon tax, to be administer-
ed jointly by the county govern-
ments and the State Highway De- j
partsment was suggested to take up
the slack.
Judge Cedric Townsend was also
one .of the speakers at the Nacog-
doches meeting.
