WHITE DEER, CARSON COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1943
NUMBER 18
GENE WORLEY OFFERS
AMENDMENT TO BILL
ALLOWING SOLDIER VOTE
Although, the present statue for
servicemen’s absentee balloting is
•adaquate in the case of voting
within the United States, changes
must be made if servicemen out-
side of the U S. are to have a real
opportunity as well as the abstract
right to vote.
It was with this thought in mind
that I offered amendments to the
bill 'last week. They will enable
balloting among men overseas to
be carried out by V-Mail process-
ing. This precedure Avill also be
available to vicilians abroad.
Under the existing sitatue a bal-
lot is not effective if it is received
by the state election officials later
than the hour of the .closing of the
polls on the day of election. In
view of the vast distances over
which balloting must take place,
one of the amendments will make
a ballot valid if the date of the
oath of the elector is no later than
the date of the holding of the e-
lectio and if the ballot is received
by the election officials no more
than two weeks after the date of
the holding of the election
A possible disadvantage of this
proposal is the uncertainty of can-
didates as to whether they have
been elected. This ust be -weighed
against the necesity of guarantee-
ing to servicemen a real opportu-
nity to vote, the privilege of every
American.
Not only the people of Texas,
but high government officials were
ixtremely pleased over the appont-
ment of Marvin 'Jones as War
Food Administrator. The great re-
spect he eommandls from members
of the House can best 'be judged
through the many words of praise
appearing in the record on the day
after his appointment was made
by the President.
Many people ih'ave wondered how
the President is standing up under
the tremendous strain placed: upon
bim as Commander in Chief of our
forces and as President during this
most critical period1. While a very
limited number of visitors are ad-
mitted to the White House, several
weeks ago a group of congressmen
were invited to the White House
for an informial visit. Also present
were Admiral King, chief of naval
operations; Gen. George C. Mar-
shall, chief of staff; and Gen. Hap
Arnold, commander of the nation’s
3.ir forces.
Each of these men gave us most
interesting off-the-record informa-
tion regarding the conduct of the
war, condition of troops, effect of
>ur.bombing operations and many
>ther war tie matters. -
The President looked fine, his
>hysical appearance seemed excel-
ent and his spirits good. He Avorks
late at night but tries to secure
much rest during the morning
lours. Many people marvel at his
mlimited energy and composure
luring the enormous press of

CHARGED WITH MISUSE
OF GASOLINE RATIONS
A complaint charging a Grand
Junction, Colorado man with with
misusage of gasoline rations was
filed (Saturday before U. S. Com-
missioner Olive Fluke in Lubbock
by OPA district onforcemenit offi-
cials. The man, Marvin R. Cope,
was arrested in Amarillo by city
/police after Union Bus Depot em-
iployess protested that he was soli-1
citing passengers from among per-
sons who had! already purchased
tickets, ope is in the Potter county
jail awaiting transferral to fede-
ral custody.
It was found by OPA investiga-
tors that Cope had secured special
mileage rations from Potter coun-
ty and Rifle, Col. rationing boards
for elleged emergencies and then
used the rations to haul passengers
cm long trips. The investigators’
report further shows that Cope
had secured a “T” commercial
coupon from a trucker to purchase
gasoline for his car.

IJfy dear Mr. Secretary*
Through you, as Secretary of the Treasury, I want to congratulate
the American people on the way in which they have supported the volun-
tary payroll savings plan*
I am proud of the fact that 27,000,000 patriotic Americans are
regularly investing more than $420,000,000 a month to help pay the
cost of the war. And since all of this money conies from wages and ~
salaries — nearly 90 percent from people earning less than $5,000, 7
and the bulk of it from those working in war plants — I do not hesi-
tate to say that the payroll savings plan is the greatest single
factor we new have in protecting ourselves against inflationary
spending*
This is a great record, both from the standpoint cf curbing
inflation and from the standpoint of financing the war* However, 1
I heartily endorse your present drive to improve that record, and
I agree it must be improved if we are to keep pace with the
increasing demands of the war*
I therefore join you in calling upon the American people — ^
and upon labor and management particularly — to do still more. Addi-
tional people should be convinced of the necessity of participating•
Everyone now on the payroll savings plan should materially increase
the amount of bonds he is buying. We originally asked for 10 percent, ♦
but now we need considerably more*
I hope every American on a payroll* will figure out for himself
the extent to which he can curtail his spending, and will put every
dollar of additional saving thus made into the payroll savings plan*

RAILROAD CARLOADUCOS
Santa Fe System carloadings for
the week ending July 3 were 26,-
743 compared to 27,717 for the
same week in 1942. Cars received
from connectoins totaled 11,915
compared with 10,544 for the
same week last year. Tbtal cars
moved were 38,658 compared with
38,261 for the same week n 1942.
The Santa Fe handled a total of
38,921 cars in the preceding Aveek
of this year.
CANNOT RAISE
BATTERY PRICES
Complaints have reached OPA
from various parts of the country
that farm radio batteries which re-
tailed for $5 to $7, lately—because
of scarcity—have been selling for
$10 to $14 each. Retail prices on
batteries were “frozen” under the
general maximum price regulation
at the MaWh 1942 level of the in-
dividual dealer. OPA encourages
farmers to report any overcharge.
MOTORIST MAY LOSE
GASOLINE RATIONS
There are going to foe some aw-
fully redi faces and some motorists
Avho are going to get used to the
idea of A\7alking. Throughout the
71 counties ranging from the top
of the Panhandle to BreAvster on
the Mexican border, legal investi-
gators have been busy checking
license numbers and A, B, and C
Avindshield stickers.
There have been some very in-
tersting findings, District Dirctor
Howard Gholson, OPA chief, re-
vealed. For instance, if a man
from Brechenridge is seen at .a
Lubbock night club or a Lubbock
man at a fishing- resort on the
Pecos, they may have some tall
explaining to do to their local War
Price amd Rationing Boards on
hoAv they are using their gasoline
coupons. The “B” and “C” cou-
pons are special allotments for bu-
siness or emergency purposes and
not to be used in wearing out tires
on pleasure trips, Gholson said.
Local ration boards are author-
ized to call in a. motorist found to
be violating regulations and take
away his rations or refuse renewal
of coupons when be next applies,
the OPA directo rpoitnited out.
Many boards in the district have
found that motorists Avho Avere
tempted to speed have slowed
doAvn to the legal limit Avhen they
learned they were in danger of
losing rations, he added.
PROGRAM TO GET TEACHERS
A groAving shortage of teachers
in rural schools has caused the
women’s advisory committee of
the War ManpoAver Commission to
advance a 6-point urogram for
Avomen’s groups seeking to avert
a critical situation in school sys-
tems and lowering of educational
Standards. The program follows-—
1 campaign against restrictive hir-
ing rules, 2 .influencing school
boards, to raise teachers salaries,
3 emphasizing education as an es-
sential a'ctivity, 4 urging women
•wibo have left the teaching field
to retur nfor emergency, 5 urging
high school graduates to enroll in
teacher training courses', 6 per-
suading inexperienced teachers
and those returning to the field to
enroll in refresher courses.
The Early Bird Gets the Groceries
From noAv on farmers will have
fir^t chance at buying the shovels,
fors, and other supplies they need
to meet 1943 food their production
goals. Briefly, WPB has given ev-
eryone Avho engages n fanning as a
business by raising crops, live-
stock, bees, or poultry, or Avho uses
farm supplies in operating silo
filling equipment, threshing mach-
ines, or similar equipment for
farmers priority to buy any of 140
listed farm items.
Buying Method Is Simpe
To obtain supplies, the farmer
has only to give his dealer a sign-
ed certificate, reading as folloAVs:
“I .certify to the War Produc-
tion Board that I am a farmer and
that the supplies covered by this
order are needd noAv and Avill be
used for the operation of a farm. ’ ’
The farmer may copy and sign
this form himself, or the dealer
may haye forms printed,, for him
to sign.
HoAvever, if a farmer Avishes to
buy more than $25 Avorth of any
one item at one time, he must have
his certificate approved in Avriting
by the County Farm Rationing
Committee.
How Dealers Re-Order
A dealer miay at any time buy
neAV farm suplies to replace those
he has sold and has! received certi-
ficates from farmers. To place
an order Avith his supplier, he sim-
ply certifies that bis order, at
wholesale prices, does not amount
to more than 75 percent of the re-
tail value of the goods already
sold. The difference of 25 percent
represents the dealer’s mark-up
allowance.
If the dealer wishes to stock up
on farm supplies immediately, he
may do so AvJthout waitng for far-
mers ’ certificates.-In this case, he
certifies to his supplier that he ex-
pects to sell the goods covered, by
his order, and that the goods ord-
ered plus the goods on hand do
not exceed a onth’s normal inven-
tory.

State President
There are two main reasons for shopping as early as possible
each day: (1) Yon will always find a more complete selection
of groceries, and (2) you will get better service for yourself
)mtl help your groceryman give better service to his other cus*
tomers. Of course, it’s patriotic these days to carry your own
bundles. — —-----mps-owi
