The head and tail of a newly killed rattlesnake,
boiled in a pot at midnight under the light of a new
moon, may serve to work magic and cure people of
what ails them in the jungles of Africa, but here in
Whitewright people know to get a doctor’s prescrip-
tion and bring it here to be properly compounded.

TULSA, Okla.—Mrs. John G. Cat-
lett, National Democratic Committee-
woman from Oklahoma, vouches for-
the authenticity of this:
She attended an auction on a farm
near Tulsa at which a tractor, among,
other things, was to be sold. An OPA
appraiser had fixed the maximum,
price on the tractor at $830.
Everything finally was sold except
the tractor and a cat. The auctioneer
picked up the cat, announced he was
going to sell it to the highest bidder,,
and throw the tractor in free.
The cat sold for $1,300.
If Old Man Winter will just stay in his hole a little

crop this year. Fruit trees are loaded with blossoms
and are a pleasing sight to the eye.

Politics is getting a slow start in Grayson County
this year. Only a few have announced for office and
those that have are not making very much noise.
Things may pick up politically when the weather gets
a little warmer.
lengths which our mills require, and eliminating waste
of longer or shorter fibers, as in the case of cotton, our
cost of producing cotton, through greatly increased
mechanization, must be drastically lowered if our cot-
ton growers are to survive in large numbers.
The two-day session of cotton technicians of the
United States Department of Agriculture, War Food
Administration, Texas A. & M. College and other
agencies in Dallas at best can bring to light only the
. problems which by now everyone familiar with the
cotton industry knows. There is little to do when the
Army specifies rayon for automobile tires at the ex-
pense of cotton, thus eliminating some 635,000 bales at
one swoop.
The News for years has advocated new cotton tech-
niques not only for the producer but for the processor
of cotton lint and cottonseed. New thinking among all
cotton interests, such as is enjoyed by petroleum and
the soybean, to mention two, must be applied to cotton,
especially Texas coton, which without foreign markets,
as in past years, would face further decline.—Dallas

For all other motorists it will mean absolutely noth-
ing, for they will go ahead with the business of driving
as much as they please.
There doubtless is need for driving restrictions, but
the injustice of the gasoline rationing program is that
it prohibits nonessential driving for only a small seg-
ment of the motoring public, although its intent is to
treat everybody alike. The weakness is not in the ra-
tioning setup, actually, but in those persons who do
not hesitate to use gasoline for nonessential driving
that was given them for essential driving.
Reduction of the basic “A” gasoline ration by one-
third, effective March 22, will just about eliminate the
honest pleasure driver from the highways, for two gal-
lons per week won’t take an automobile very far.
It will work a hardship on motorists who have

WASHINGTON.—Maj. Gen. James
H. Doolittle, commanding the eighth
air force in England, was nominated
by President Roosevelt Monday to be
a lieutenant general.
The 47-year-old officer held the
temporary rank of lieutenant colonel
when he led the raid on Tokyo April
18, 1942. After this attack he was
promoted to brigadier general and
awarded the congressional medal of
honor.
In July, 1942, he was sent to the.
European theatre for the first time,
attached to the eighth air force. A
few months later he was named com-
mander of the 12th air force in North
Africa.
He returned to England as eighth
air force commander the first of this
year.

It looks like Grayson County is going to get a play
for oil during the coming year. A good part of the
land in the county is being leased by major compa-
nies, which means that tests for oil will be made. In
the west part of the county frdm one to three dollars
an acre is being paid for leases.

Maybe it is all right to let some
children think for themselves and de-
velop strong characters, but this plan
wouldn’t have worked with our
youngsters. They wanted to do -all
their own thinking, but we were
afraid their characters would become
tough instead of strong. Even as ba-
bies they thought other children’s
toys belonged to them and on many
occasions our young son brought
home articles he found in other peo-
ple’s homes. He was thinking for
himself, but we had to punish him in
an effort to get this kind of thinking
out of him. Thinking for themselves
our children didn’t want to help with
the work or study their lessons or do
anything else useful. We were just
forced to do a lot of thinking for the
little born sinners.

ASSOC1
Any erroneous reflection upon the
character, standing or reputation of
any person, firm or corporation that
may appear in the columns of The
Whitewright Sun will be gladly and
fully corrected upon being brought to
the attention of the publisher.
Cotton is fighting for its life, although the man in
the street, busy with his own affairs, is only dimly
conscious of that fact. Increasing competition from
improved and cheaper synthetic yarns makes the
American cotton picture darker from year to year.
Nor does anyone seem to know how Texas cotton, for
instance, is to be sold in world markets after the war in
competition with lowcost cotton from Brazil, India and
some fifty-six other nations which have learned how
to grow the fiber during the ten years since the South
cut its cotton acreage in two in order to raise the price
of staple.
Foreign cotton today is bringing around 13c a
pound, while artificial aids keep ours at around 20c.
It is needless to go further into that part of the post-
war problem, except to say that it must be met or we
will have to find a market for all the cotton we grow
right here at home. In view of 16c rayon, cut to
NEW YORK. — Deposits of New

1943 totaled $30,009,320,764, highest

This compared with $28,159,717,-
138 on June 30, 1943, and $27,874,-
147,164 at the close of 1942.
London was second in deposit to-
