Be Careful Of
Colds This Winter
Warns Geo. Cox
AUSTIN.—with the advent of
winter, and colds becoming preval-
ent, Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, makes the following sug-
gestions to ways by which these
sasonal illnesses may be warded
off, or at least may be gotten un-
der control before ‘they do any se-
rious damage.
Keep as fit as possible. Dress
according to the weather, indoors
and ouotdoors. Put on a heavier
suit when a cold snap comes. Use
a raincoat, overshoes and umbrella

Censorship Rules
Are Explained
J. M. North, Jr., of Fort Worth,
censorship representative of Texas,
explains in the following ^para-
graphs the need for censorship.
“The chief source of information
of Axis agents continues to be the
newspapers. They are trained how
to read them. They follow the jig-
saw puzzle method of fitting to-
gether small bits in information to
make a complete picture. From
a small item in some daily or week-
ly they learn that Pvt. John 'Smith,
of a specifically designated regi-
ment, is home on his last leave.
From this they deduce his _ regi-
ment is about to leave. A similar
item in another paper shows that
another regiment is about to leave,

If you are cought in the clutches

quickest way to get oyer a cold,

fever, send for your doctor and
stay in bed until he feels that it is

known for farm products, and stat-

supervisor of the Farm Security Ad-
ministration, this week urged farm-
ers to begin planning their pro-

Shortage of manpower already
is a critical problem in many farm-

it will be much more critical next

Leberman Home Scene

The attractive home of Mrs. Geo.
Leberman at Orth was the scene
of a Christmas party for members
of the Helper Club and their guests
Wednesday afternoon
The traditional holiday decora-
tions, featuring a gift laden tree,
were used in the party rooms. At-
tractively arranged cut flowers
were also placed throughout the
Leberman home.
Mrs. Irene AlliSon directed the

sented the devotional, followed by
a prayer led by Mrs. B. R. Allison.

problems will face those in agricul-
ture.
“Farmers in Young County and
through the United States,” he con-
tinued, “will do well to forestall
many hardships and disappoint-
ments by developing their basic
farm and home plans during the
winter months.”
The supervisor observed that
farm operations often involve
credit needs. He suggested that
operators who may need to borrow
funds for next year make their
arrangements during December and
January.
“The Farm Security Administra-
tion,” said Mr. Flartell, “expects to
receive applications for loans dur-
ing the next two months for many
Young County farmers. Under a
directive of the Secretary of Ag-
loans are available to eligible bor-
rowers for practically all farming
needs, including the purchase of
capital goods such as cows, hogs,
sheep and so forth, and for opera-
tions.
He said FSA assistance how-
ever, is limited to those operators
who cannot get adequate credit
from any other source.
. “We encourage applicants to first
contact the regular credit agencies
because FSA is not in competition
with any public .or private lending
(agency. Our job,” he said, “is to
assist only those who need help and
cannot get it elsewhere.”
