SINCE OPENING
—V—
Cotulla Public Schools have moved
along very smoothly since the open. \
ing date; however, the loss of Miss j
Dollie Pharr and Murray Stephenson
was quite a shock to the student
body, faculty, and community. Miss
Pharr had been connected with tho
system for twenty years. .She had
taught all the boys and girls who
lived in Cotulla and graduated from
high school for the past ten years
or more. Miss Pharr was loved and
remembered by all her former pupils.
It is saying very little when we say
that Miss Pharr rendered an outstand- ’
ing service to our school, community, j
and children. Long will her work j
here be remembered by all w'ho work-
ed with her and knew her.

Our congratulations to Lt. John P.
Guinn, Jr, another Cotulla boy who
has earned his Commission the hard
way, starting from a buck private
and earning his advancement all the
way up to a Second Lieutenant.

one of our friends in the service
stationed up about Abilene—or was
this a military secret.

An Appeal to the
Public
To the Citizens of La Salle County:
A desperate effort is being made
by the United States Government to
impress upon the people the neces-
siy of keeping up the quota on War
Bond Sales, and it is to our own in-
terest to get busy and do something.
I today received a telegram from Mr.
Scofield at Austin stating that for
obvious reasons we can not afford to
fall down on the September quota.
It has been called to my attention
that a few sales are being made to
La Salle County Citizens in adjoin-
ing Counties which of course goes to
the credit of the Counties where the
sales are made. In making pur-
chases out of your home County,
naturally makes it more difficult to
complete our quota.

Buying War Bonds is a duty we
owe to our Country as well as an
expression to the boys in Uniform to
cate that Texas will fall short of the
quota assigned for the month of Sep-
tember unless new sales can be stim-
ulated during the remaining days of
this month. For obvious reasons it
is considered of utmost importance
that the quota for Texas be reached
this month. We realize that you and
your coworkers have labored hard and
the special publicity given has been
splendid but feel the emergency jus-
tifies asking you to extend yourselves

A TELEGRAM
Judge and Mrs. John Willson have
recently received a letter from their
nephew, Lt. Houston Willson, station-

he says: “I am now located in this
spot in New England, with rolling
b,!ls and green meadows crossed by
stone walls— probably the same ones
behind which tbe early day colonials

The sale of Stamps was begun the
second week. The Amanda Burks
pupils are buying over a hundred dol-
lars a week. Just a word to parents:

much if parents will permit their

tally.
1 am sincerely urging that you as
County Chairman exert every possible
effort with the assistance of your
committeemen with the definite de-
termination that your county will go
over the top and exceed the quota as-
signed to Texas for September. We
have fallen short of our quotas dur-
ing the past months and it is most ur-
gent that we do not have a reoccur-
ance of this ir. September. Certain-
your all out cooperation and assur-
ance that your county will not be the
one to fail at this critical point. Our
boys on the battle front are not fal,
tering in doing their duty and certain-
ly we must strengthen our forces on
the home front and let the nation
know that Texas has met the quota as
signed one hundred per cent.
FRANK SCOFIELD,
War Bond Administrator for Texas.
KEEP ON BUYING
With only six more days remaining
in September, we are still $2,195
short of our (Juota of 111.700.
We are making good headway; and
if we will all keep on trying, we can
push this over the top.
A splendid achievement, we'd say,
is the fact that to date. $529.50 worth
of Stamps have been bought at the
local Post Office—this boost in sales
being accounted for by the fact that
our Schools are solidly back of the
plan.
Also for your added convenience,
you can purchase $25, $50 and $100
Bonds at the local Central Power and
Light Company Office.
So if you hav’nt bought your share,
do it now so we can make our qu<>.a.

DAM GOES OUT
The concrete dam on the
slough
at the Holland-Texas was washed out
during the recent rise in the Nueces.
This will be very disastrous
for far-
mers who depend on this lake for ir-
rigation as practically all of the water
will be drained out.
A small dirt dam on E. Aaronson’s
farm, recently constructed, also went
out during the rise.
