BEX AR ROADS CHECKED
FOR SPEEDl.fl>
Autos without identification insig-
nia ate being used on highways a-
round Sur. Antonio to cheek violators
of the 85 mile speed limit, some San
Antonio drivers have found to their
sorrow.
The cars cruise at or under the leg-
al speed limit until an unwary driver
passes them. If the latter is plainly
violating the 35 mile rule the cruising
car speeds up behind until it can get
the license number and then drops
hack. The driver of the speeding
car is unaware of the check.
Within a few days, the owner of
the car which speeded gets a notice
reading something like this:
"Car bearing your license number
has been listed with rationing boards
and hereafter is ineligible for either
gasoline or tire rations.”—S. A. Ex-
press. ,
When asked to comment on this ar-
ticle. members of the local Board
stated they had nothing to report oth-
er than that the Office of Price Ad-
ministration is known to be adding a
large number of investigators with the
purpose in mind of seeing that all
rationing regulations are observed.

Health Notes
Austin, Texas, Oct. 22.— Reports
coming in to the State Health De-
partment indicate an incidence of
typhus fever throughout the State
without any particular regard to ur-
ban or rural population.
Inasmuch as nearly 900 cases of
typhus fever have already been re-
ported in Texas this year, Dr. Geo.
OUR WEEKLY SERMON
Honesty in All Things
By the Rev. Harold L. Lundquist, D. I
U., Member of Faculty Moody Bible
Institute, Chicago
Honesty in all things would seem
to be what one should have a right
to expect without question. As •»
matter of fact dishonesty has be-
come so common wherever man is
found, that people look on the person
who is strictly honest as a peculiar
individual. Try reporting an under-
charge (everyone complains about an
overcharge) or returning excess
change, and you will see how unex-
pected honesty really is today. Under
such circumstances the Christian
needs to be vigilant lest he also I
accommodate his own ideas of honesty
and begin to justify little evasions
rather than being absolutely upright.
The very commandment of God a-
gainst stealing implies that men have
a right to that which they have made.!
earned, or saved. If no one had
property rights there could be no
stealing., “Thou shalt not steal”
forbids every kind of theft. It in-
cludes robbery, burglary, safe-crack-
ing, housebreaking; but it covers far
more than those obvious wrongs. It
refers to such things as loafing on
one’s job; “borrowing” money from
the cash drawer; taking goods from
the stock with which one is working;
stealing another man’s sermon and
preaching it as one’s own; contract-
ing debts which one can never pay;
using false weights and measures;
adulterating food or other material;
dodging taxes or lying to the tax
assessor; using a slug instead of a
nickel in the telephone to escape pro-
per payment. It really means some.
W. Cox, State Health Officer, is urg-j thing to be honest, and it is a great
testimony to the unregenerate world.
More than that, an honest person
will make right any known injustice.
To be right with God must mean
that we are to be right with men.
The testimony of many Christians
could be presented to show that they
have made consistent effort to right
every wrong to pay every debr.
Often such actions open opportunities
for Christian testimony and point
others to the redemption in Christ,
which makes a man live right as
ing full cooperation from all com-
munities whether large or small in
a campaign to exterminate rats and
thus control the increasing prevalence
of typhus.
“It must be kept in mind that the
rat acts as a reservoir of the typhus
germ and the rat flea is the means
by which the type of typhus found in
Texas is transmitted to man. Rats
are liable to travel many miles from
one community to another, and it is
therefore obvious,” Dr. Cox said,
! The Trail of ’42. Through bush land, across muskeg and rivers, a
vital artery in North America’s network of defence is feeding weapons
and supplies to the North. When completely finished, this road will re-
present an outstanding achievement for man.
Traffic started this week over this highway.

“that it will be necessary to make well as talk right,
the rat extermination program cover
the entire state.”
Dr. Cox has recommended a four-
point extermination program in addi-
tion to the already widely used
poisoning campaigns, which he be-
lieves. will assure more than tem-
porary typhus control. This pro-
gram includes; first, making food
inaccessible to rodents through proper
garbage collection and disposal; sec-
ond, rat—proofing of homes and o- I
ther buildings; third, keeping at
least two traps set and baited in every
home which is not rat-proofed; fourth
proper educational measures. ^
Concerning the educational camp-
aign, Dr. Cox pointed out that since
the typhus fever rat is known to
inhabit practically every section of
the state, it will take state-wide
cooperation to exterminate it. In
order to do this, the public must be-
come adequately acquainted with the
habits of the rat and the various con-
trol measures that may be applied.
The State Department of Health
has moving picture films on this
subject and has Issued a bulletin out-
lining rodent control measures. This
bulletin will be mailed free upon re-
quest, Dr. Coy said.
