The Olney Enterprise
FRIDAY. JANUARY 21, 1943
Pvt. E. H. Griffin
Asks For Ae-Election
Because my past record as
County Attorney of Young Coun-
ty, Texas, will reflect an efficient,
honest administration of such office
and because my desire is to con-
tinue to serve you after the war,
I hereby announce my candidacy
for re-election to such office, sub-
ject to the action of the primaries
of the Democratic party, in 1944.
An inspection of my record as a
public official of Young County,
Texas, is not only invited but re-
quested.
On November 15, 1943, I became
a private in the Army of the United
States and am now stationed at
Fort Mason, California. It is my
hope to continue to serve you as
County Attorney at the war’s con-
clusion, and, if re-elected I will
again assume personal direction of
such office at that time.
Of necessity my campaign will
be conducted by my friends and it
is my request that you consider
this as my personal solicitation
for your vote and for your influ-
ence in the coming elections. I
further request that your seriously
consider my past record as a pub-
lic official in Young County,
Texas, and any consideration you
may give my campaign for re-elec-
tion will bq greatly appreciated.

TEXAS CLEANERS
Farmers Urged to
Save Seed Peanuts
y Farmers who produced
quality peanuts last year will be
wise to hold back an adequate
supply for planting next spring.
This advice from the. A. & M. Col-
lege Extension Service is based
on the probability of light storage
and heavy demand for meal, oil
-'nfld edible peanuts this fall and
winter,
Bevere drouth and other unfav-
able weather combined last year
to reduce the quantity of high
grade seed available in Texas. In
choosing seed it is suggested that
the farmer buy only peanuts which
are sound and not shriveled and
which grade well on the market.
A germination test before planting
also is advisable.
Drivers Licenses
Must Be Renewed
AUSTIN. — Approximately 450,-
000 operators licenses of the cur-
rent issue have recently expired,
State Folice Director Homer Gar -
rison said. These licenses bear
serial numbers from one to 300,-
000 and 1,000,000 to 1,150,000.
Garrison urged drivers to check
their licenses, which expire two
year from date of issue, so that
the licenses can be renewed prior'
to expriration.
When a person’s license expires
the law considers him a new driv-
er, and he must take a driving test.
Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Moran
and daughters, Mi. and Mrs. Joe
Hunt and Miss Blanche Patterson
of Wichita Falls were week-end
guests in the home of Mrs. Thirza
Hunt.
