PROCLAMATION
The wholehearted cooperation of the government of the City of
Olney and of all business men of Olney is desired in the all-out effort to
help our President curb inflation.
As compliance with the General Maximum Price Regulations and
Consumer Service Regulations to the fullest extent is one of the most
effective means of aiding our President in the program, a thorough
knowledge of the rules and regulations is essential. Today, when it is
vital that government programs be carried out with the least delay,
it is doubly important that business men of every type learn what is
expected of them and,then carry out instructions at once.
Nothing less than the cooperation of every business man in Olney
will do.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BERNARD LUNN, Mayor of the City
of Olney; do hereby designate Tuesday, September 20, as OPA COM-
PLIANCE DAY FOR ONLEY; and I earnesly request all business men of
Olney and the surrounding area to attend the OPA Clinic which will
be conducted here Tuesday night at the City Hall by J. H. Tuttle, As-
sociate Price Specialist from the Regional office of the Office of Pro-
uction of Administration in Dallas, in order that local business men may
obtain a fuller knowledge of price ceilings and consumer service regu-
lations. 'Signed:
BERNARD, LUNN,
Mayor of Olney.

The Olney Red Cross Work Room

chines in good condition have been

ernoon.

PURELY PERSONAL . .
Thought For Today
The female mind is always clean—
If I am ope to judge it
Because it’s changed so frequently
There isn’t time to smudge it!

Yes, Doctor!
One young fellow in Olney has
really been putting his first aid to
a good use. When Trixie, one of
the canine members of the J. Pearl
Doss family, received a broken leg,
Earl Nunneley came through in
fine style with his newly acquired as
technique and a splint. And a neat
job it was, too. Incidentally, Trixie
is reported to be doing nicely.
A. M. Eddleman of Newcastle
and W. H. Wadley of Tonk Valley,
were appointed members of the
farm machinery committee to serve
with H. G. Millican, chairman, at
a meeting of the Young County
USDA War Board Monday, D. A.
Adam, secretary Young County
USDA War Board, has announced.
Alternates- were Elmer E. Hennig
of Olney and F. G. Wiley of Dun-
ger.
All farm machinery and equip-
ment in the hands of dealers have
been frozen and made subject to
rationing as of September 17, and
farmers purchasing machinery in
the future must have a release from
the Young county Rationing Board
for most items in the farm ma-
chinery line. -
Adam states that farm machinery
which may be sold only to persons
holding rationing certificates in-
cludes combines, cotton pickers,
disc harrows, grain drills, hay bal-
ers, manure spreaders and all It's a Boy

Although, D. R. Criswell is lo-
cal chairman of the scrap iron cam-
paign, and is doing an excellent
job, it should be realized by each
individual that this is a matter in
which all should feel vitally inter-
ested. In short, do not expect

eminent authority say the Allies
have no better than a 50-50 chance
of winning the war unless the peo-
ple wake up and furnish the scrap
iron necessary to prosecute the
war, Andy Adams opened the
county-wide scrap iron meeting in
the courthouse in Graham Tuesday
afternoon.
To illustrate the urgency of every
person doing his part in the scrap
iron drive, it was brought out that
the United 'States concerns manu-
facturing arms, tanks, guns, ships
and planes have no more than a
two weeks’ bank of scrap iron while
Japan alone has a five-year sup-
ply alread on hand. It was also
emphasized that no matter how
much scrap iron that has already
been collected, the thing that counts
most now is how much Young
county and every other county in
the United States can collect with-
in the next several weeks.
Discussing the scrap iron pro-
gram for the rural district, it was
pointed out by Adams that if the
people in rural districts will col-
lect their scrap iron and notify
either Adam’s office in Graham or
the committee chairman, H. L.
Thornton, Graham, a WPA truck
will be sent in due course of time
to pick up such metals. It may be
donated outright, in which event a
receipt will be issued showing that
it has been donated, or it may be
weighed in by the WPA crew and
sold, at $5.00 per ton.
In the towns of Graham, New-
castle and Olney, separate plans
will be worked out by the respec-
tive committee chairmen in these
towns; in Graham H. L. Thornton is
chairman, in Newcastle, Woods
Price is chairman and in Olney,
D. R. Criswell is chairman.
Dr. R. Criswell, local chairman
of the scrap iron campaign, de-
serves full measure of credit and
praise for his unstinted efforts in
an effort to awaken the people to
the vital importance of the drive.
Not only is Criswell giving much
of his time to the work, he is also
using his car without remuneration
to attend meetings and to transport
, other mmebers of the committee.
The Enterprise . desires to em-
phasize the fact that it is as much
the patriotic duty of one person
it is another to see that our
government receives the vital met-
als that are to be collected in this
campaign. It is the duty of the
chairman and his committee to di-
rect the campaign, but not heir
duty to collect the metals. Thm is
an individual responsibiliy.

Tech Bulldogs Defeat Cubs 29-0 In
First Home Game of Season Friday
The strong Fort ' Worth TecL^
Bulldogs led by A. Duffy, full-
back, and S. Rainey, quarterback,
defeated the Olney Cubs here Fri-
day night on the Cub field in a

riods with the outstanding play of

er a fifty yards march, plunged over
