A frozen food locker will save you many times its

can afford to not have one. The fruit and vegetable
season will be here soon, and a food locker is the an-

We purchased two 4-H Club Baby Beef calves in the
auction sale at Trenton Wednesday, which we will
begin serving the first of next week. They weighed
between 700 and 800 pounds each and they were as
fat and pretty as a 4-H Club boy could make them.

“Two Country Kids,” a play, will
be given at 8 p. m. Friday, April 18,
at the Bethel school house,- three
miles south of Whitewright. The
play by the Whitewright Post of Vet-
erans of Foreign Wars is being spon-
to last 3,000 years. Never in history
has the industry devoted so much en-
ergy and money to research and new
development. The pioneering spirit
never goes out of free enterprise.
sects which feed on many varieties of
flowers, according to entomologists of
the Texas A. and M. College Exten-
sion Service.
Thrips vary in color from yellow-
ish to dark brown and often almost
black, and are less than one-tenth of
an inch in length.
Control measures consist of dust-
ing with a five percent DDT dust. It
is also wise, says the entomologists,
to keep old buds or blossoms re-
moved from plants, to keep thrips
from developing.

The El Dorado, Kansas, Times re-
cently paid a well-deserved tribute
to the oil industry.. “One of the big
oil companies originally produced
just seven products,” it observed.
“Through research, these seven prod-
ucts have risen-to 1,069, and the list
is still growing. These products
mean the creating of thousands of
new jobs, offering wider service to
industry, agriculture and the home.”
One of the typical characteristics
of private enterprise is the speed and
the flexibility with which it meets
changing needs.- Under the competi-
tive system, it must be continually
alert to the demands of consumers—
or run the danger of losing its mar-
kets to a more enterprising producer.
The oil industry is experiencing some
very significant changes in product
demand now. Distillate fuels are be-
ginning to rival gasoline in demand,
and surveys indicate that diesel pow-
er will increase fourfold in the rail-
roads in the next ten years. Again,
jet-propulsion fuels, new and ex-
tremely efficient insecticides made
from oil, and now plasticizers for the
plastic industry, are assuming an im-
portant place on the lengthening list
of products which the country must
have. j,
On the side of Ipng-range planning,
oil is not lagging behind. A revolu-
tionary system of making synthetic
gasoline from coal is well along in the
experimental stage. If the antici-
pated success is realized, our poten-
tial sources of oil will be sufficient
Two thousand and 20 weeks of ad-
vertising is the record of the Thomp-
son Hardware Company of Canyon.
Since the opening of the store July
1, 1908, not an issue of the Canyon
News has appeared without the
Thompson advertisement.
The firm has never relied on small
ads, the News reports, but has always
used large space with liberal illus-
trations.
T. C. Thompson, owner of the
firm, has served as president of the
Texas Hardware Association and the
Panhapdle Hardware and Implement
Association.

Maple sugar has about the same

Clark Gable, as quoted from Holly-
wood, gets $6,000 a week salary. He
says he pays out almost 90 percent in
taxes, 10 percent to his agent, 2%
percent to his business manager, and
in addition must hire a secretary and
a bookkeeper.
That’s something over 102% per-
cent of what he takes in. Still, he re-
mains solvent, and manages to have a
place to sleep, to eat, to wear good
clothes, visit night clubs and travel
around.
Gable is wasted in Hollywood. He
should be drafted at once to run the
finances of, the country. With him to
show us how, taxes wouldn’t matter
and the government could keep on
shoveling out money with both
| hands.

The difficulty which confronts the
House appropriations committee at
Austin might have been expected.
Chairman Claud H. Gilmer’s data are
indisputable. Legislature is already
$33,000,000 beyond expected revenue.
And the end of appropriations is not
in sight. Since the state is now leg-
ally on a pay-as-it-goes basis, the
Legislature is up against the problem
i of making up its mind as to whether
it will retrench or seek new tax rev-
enues.
The allocation of $51,000,000 extra
for teachers’ salaries is the principal
reason for the dilemma. It is also the
substance of fulfillment of a primary
campaign promise of most of those
who ran for office last summer.
There may be justification for recon-
sideration of the size of the appro-
priation, but there can be no argu-
ment about the need of substantial
salary relief for teachers. If the al-
ternative boils down to either adding
new taxes or forgetting the schools,
then taxes must be added.
Looking back over the state budget
figures for a quarter of a century, the
layman to the intricacies of state fi-
nance wonders if there is not some
way of putting on the brakes without
applying the pressure to the schools.
In 1920 the total state expenditures
amounted to $33,498,724.82, and this
was considered a dizzy figure, com-
pared with preceding years. By 1930,
it had climbed to $103,672,473.22; and
ten years later, despite a decade of
depression and retrenchmnt, it had
reached $165,717,612.22. For the last
fiscal year, ended Aug. 31, 1946, :
was $238,616,434.15. Now the Legis-
lature has appropriated, or is in the
process of appropriating, from the
general revenue fund amounts that,
added to expenditures from other
funds, will lift the state expenditures
for each of the next two fiscal years
far beyond the levl of the expendi-
tures of 1946.
Of course the growing State of
Texas has necessarily spent more and
more money: Its budget will con-
tinue to increase. And, of course,
the Legislature is now confronted
with the problem of inflated costs.
Yet it should do a little introspecting
to ascertain whether it is not also suf-
fering from that general legislative
ailment of today—spenditis.—Dallas
News.
Here’s a diagnosis for flower gar-
deners.
When the tips of flower leaves
wither, curl up and die, and buds fail
to open normally, it’s a good bet that
the trouble is being caused by thrips,

WASHINGTON. — President Tru-
man and his cabinet have been
warned by the President’s council of
economic advisers that the threat of
a recession has grown since the first
of the year and that immediate ad-
justment of key prices is needed to
avert a serious economic slump, it
was learned today.
It was the council’s report, con-
tained in a confidential memorandum
‘it; to the President and discussed in a
special cabinet meeting that encour-
aged Mr. .Truman, according to in-
formed sources, to issue his urgent
call for voluntary price-cuts by bus-
iness at his press conference the fol-
lowing day.
The cabinet agreed in principle to '
the analysis presented by Mr. Tru-
man’s special advisory group, and!
showed differences only in their sep-
arate ■ interests and emphasis, it was
reported.

The Veterans Administration set a
new high in the number of checks
certified in its Dallas Regional Office
for April payments and reached a
new figure in total amount disbursed,
Robert C. Rice, manager, announced
today.
The finance division approved 91,-
156 checks totalling $7,986,427. These
payments were for veterans’ subsis-
tence, pensions, tuition, supplies, ben-
eficiary travel, and medical services.
Checks which went out March 1 to-
taled 78,871 and were more than
$1,000,000 under the April 1 pay-
ments.
The regional manager said the gain
was especially heavy in monthly sub-
sistence to veterans attending col-
leges or receiving job training. The
regional finance division certified
52,162 checks amounting to $4,412,-
000. There were 11,589 more indi-
vidual payments than in the previous
month.
The regional manager in early
March set an April 15 goal for .no
claims pending, longer than ten days.
As a result of .the finance division’s
work in eliminating the backlog, the
manager said the division is virtually
on a current basis now.
The finance division estimates it
has only about 1,500 awards on which
payments can be made. The re-
mainder of awards awaiting payment
have been voided or C

gional Office serving an area

the recommended daily intake of

There is no marked difference
ascorbic acid content of berries
picked early in the season and those
picked near the season’s end, says
Miss Jones. However, she states that
it pays in Vitamin C to let picked
half-red berries ripen before serving.
Better still, allow the berries to ripen
on the plant before picking.
COLLEGE STATION.—If Vitamin
C is lacking in your diet, now’s the
time to get a fresh supply, for with
strawberry season almost upon us,
USDA plant scientists say that a gen-
erous serving of fresh strawberries
will, on the average, supply the daily
quota. Of course, the amount of Vit-
amin C in berries depends upon the
variety and the weather conditions
under which they are grown. The
same bright sunlight, moderately
warm days and cool nights which
produce the best flavor in any varie-
ty of strawberries also produces the
highest ascorbic acid or Vitamin C
content.

food specialist, points out that some
