Dear Mrs. Fietsam:

She is the president of our servecj which ended the meet-
cheery Junior class. I can • „
truthfully state that my pal is
diligent as well as a brilliant
student in the true sense of
the word. She does justice to
all her subjects, but seems par
tial to bookkeeping. She seems
to have delight in adding neat
columns of big figures. Ber-
ing.
Also the Vocational Ag. class
I elected its officers which are

pres, John Cook; treas. Emil

leaves me the same. Am al-
ways anxious to get the Shi-
ner Gazette and read the good
news and also the many let-
ters which are sent in from the
boys that are serving Uncle
Sam. I always read the names
of the boys that come home for
their furlough and always
think of the time when I will

sj tered in Voc. Ag. 1, he is Ed-:mg that the order will come

[thirtsy for that good Shiner
choir member. She has chosen
the ‘Hail Mary’ as her favorite
prayer, ‘Holy God, We Praise
Thy Name,’ as her favorite
hymn and ‘Saint Bernadette’ as
her favorite saint. To rest her
mind, Bernice chose collecting
snapshots as her hobby. Her
collection thus far is quite in-
teresting and amusing. Who
knows but that her collection
may help make history in
years to come. Being of a
dark complexion, with brown
Jhair and brown eyes, she chose
brown as the predominating
color in her wardrobe. Warm
colors also do her justice and
she wears them well. Some
of her likes and dislikes are
as follows: She hates to be
teased, simply despises low
grades and Seven-Up is her
favorite beverage in which she
indulges. Her greatest weak-
ness for food is Mrs. Proschko’s
chicken noodle soup. Wherever
you meet her you can hear her
humming or singing, “For Me
and My Gal.’ Since her great-
est ambition is to be a hair
dresser, we sincerely hope she
will be a success.

Mildred Chandler
Mildred Chandler, the - sec-
ond Junior, on the Alphabeti-
cal list is quiet retiring type
of girl. Obedience and kind-
ness are the most evident
traits of her everyday life. Mil
dred tries to apply herself to
her studies and in no way
does she ever try to shirk her
duties as a pupil. Her favorite

subject is Home Economics.
She admits that somehow she
is partial to her pet subject.
But we can readily see why
that is so, as Mildred likes to
dress well and becomingly.
Mildred’s favorite color is yel-
low, This classmate of mine
is always well groomed. Mil-
dred is one of the faithful
choir members of the St. Lud-‘is sit at the typewriter and fill
mila’s choir. She chose the out requisitions and shipping
hymn ‘Holy God We Praise
Thy Name,’ as her mascot es-
teemed hymn. Her favorite
prayer is the ‘Hail Mary’
which no doubt, she says fre-
guently and devoutly. St.
Claudia, her patron saint, is
her model. I have the happi-
‘ness of being one of her inti-
mate friends. When we are to-
gether we have much innocent
fun. Mildred has a great weak
ness for ice tea. Her most
tempting dish is enchiladus.
Mildred is an admirer of flow-
ers having chosen the galidoli
as her choicest flower. Her
only ambition is to become a
nurse.

Stephen J. Tulley, Jr. direc-
tor of the Houston District Of-
fice of Price Administration to-
day urged all patriotic citizens,
contemplating hunting trips or
excursions to football games
this season to make them by
train or bus.
“In view of the critical tire
shortage and the necessary
tightening of gasoline alloca-
tions to civilian use, so that
needs of our military can be
met, there can be no relaxa-
tion in the enforcement of mile
age regulations anywhere,’ said
Stephen J. Tully, Jr. District
OPA Director. “The mileage
regulation is designed not only
to insure fair distribution to
all, which is the fundamental
of rationing, but to aid in the
conservation of rubber and
gasoline so that essential trans
portation can be maintained for
the duration. Few realize, per-
haps, just how great a prob-
lem this has become and how
vital the need is for constant
vigilance.”
Questioned concerning the
attitude the OPA will take con
cerning hunters who make
trips during this season and
toward automobile owners who
drive long distances to foot-
ball games, Mr. Tully said: ‘We
shall pursue our regular po
licy. No special campaign has
been planned to single out
these drivers. Gasoline is ra-

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“Momin’, Judge...meetin? someone?”
“No, Sam, I’m just going up the line
aways on business. Wasn’t that a troop train
that just pulled out?”
“Sure was, Judge...stopped over here for
ten minutes and what a swell bunch of
fellows they were.”
“That’s true all over, Sam. Our present
Army is the best trained, best disciplined,
best behaved in American history. That’s
why I get my hair up when I hear of some
people trying to dry up the areas around
Army camps. Why, in a recent report made
by the government, it said the Army usually
prefers its camps to be located in wet in-
stead of dry communities. And there’s a
sound reason. In a wet community the
Army can control drinking. In dry com-
munities where bootleggers run wild it’s al-
most impossible. We know that from our
nearly 14 years of experience with national
prohibition.
“There’s no getting away from it, pro-
hibition does not prohibit.”
in that car owners make appli-
cation for supplementary mile-
age on the basis of need for
essential driving in connection
with their business or travel to
and from work. The Ameri-
can public as a whole is patrio-
tic and War Price and Ration-
ing Boards, whose duty it is to
process these applications, a-
ward supplementary gasoline
on that basis.
“It has not been a part of
the enforcement program of
the Houston District Office to
patrol highways and stop pri-
vate, passenger automobiles to
examine rations the drivers
may hold,” Mr. Tully said. But
OPA warns that in considera-
tion of the current emergency,
there can be no let-up in en-
forcement of mileage regula-
tions.
Observing that the gasoline
and tire prpblems are becom-
ing acute, Mr. Tully expressed
the hope that citizens wouid
abstain from long hunting
trips even when they have the
necessary legal gasoline.
He explained that citizens
who hold A cards only, may use
all of their 180-mile per month
allotment for any purpose they
saw fit.
Citizens who hold B and C
coupons, however may use
only 120 miles per month of
their allotment indiscriminate-
ly. If more than 120 miles is
used for unnecessary driving
then their B and C cards will
be revoked, Mr. Tully said.
