is possible.

urged to set up at least one collection
center and aid in every possible way
in the collection.

the office of The Aspermont Star and
if it is more convenient for you, you
may leave your books there.

acceptable and the better kinds of
hooks are also needed. Fiction books
acceptable include adventure, avia-
tion stories, historical novels, humor,
mystery sports and Western storfes.
We want Books! Keep 'em Reading!

Bubela had been in ill health for
. ■ some time.
of the
Y Peace E. B. Featherstonand Sheriff

t'ne home and returned a verdict of
suicide.

and Mrs. J. E. Bubela of Old Glory
and is survived by his father and his
step-mother, his wife and daughter,
a sister and a brother.
■ Funeral services were held at the
Old Glory church with Rev. J. E.

conductig. Interment was in the old
Brandenburg cemetery with Kinney
Funeral Home in charge of arrange-
ments.

B. eFatherston, G. R. Turner and
the Funeral Director arrived.
America has enough wheat to make
^88 loaves of bread for every person
in the country, according to Dee R.
Green, chairman, Stonewall AAA
committee.
In ordinary English, that's a lot of
\vheat and unless we control those
giant reserves, we'll probably run in-
to a lot of troubles and headaches be-
fore we've disposed of it.
According to statistics in the coun-
ty AAA offire, 87 farmers arc eligible
to vote in the wheat referendum on
Saturday, May 2. Polls will open at
•S a. ni. and close 8 p. m. WAR time.
Polling places in the county are as
follows:
Aspermont Courthouse.
Old Glory School house.
In last years' referendum, Stone-
wall county wheat farmers voted 100
percent for quotas, while Texas had
an approval by 94 percent.
On May 2, we'll be doing a thing
lew farmers in the word can do. Bv
cooperative and democratic privileg-
es, sve can step up to the polls and
vote the way we want to on wheat
marketing quotas.
And remember if quotas tail to
Ciii ry yve will not have a loan on our
wheat, and without the benefit' of
loan, the price would seek its natur-
al level in the face of the huge sup-
ply, and we all remember what lias
happened under similar conditions.

al parent to consider the health of
their children, particularly at this
time of he year when our Govern-

Child Health Day over the nation.
Plans for the preschool child's phys

Health Round-Up plans will swing
into operation on that day. All of the
larger school systems sponsor with
the Parent-Teacher Organization
this physical check up each year of all
the schoo children.
Every year this has been done since
the organization of the P. T .A. in
Aspermont three years ago. Local

what the child needs. This year we
hope to make if better than ever.
May we expect your cooperation?

Campaign is being launched through-
