THOMAS C. MEDLEN
NOW A STAFF SERGEANT
Sgt. Thomas C. Medlen, now
stationed “somewhere in New
Guinea”, informs his parents,
Mr. and Mrs, Will A. Medlen of
Bowie, that he has been given
the rank of Staff Sergeant in
the U. S. Army Air Corps. He
writes that the. weather down
under is much hotter than the
weather in Texas, and says that-
it has been raining so much
where he is stationed that the
mosquitoes house up in his tent
to keep dry.
Farmers are -asked to keep
records of their 1943 Cotton
production., arid it is highly im-
portant that these records be
Kept accurately, acceding to H.
A. Reynolds, Chairman of the
Montague County AAA Commit-
tee.
Mr. -Reynolds explained that
in past years, ginners have co-
operated with the AA by fur-
nishing detailed records of cot-
ton production for each farm,
but that this year these rec-
ords will not be Obtained from, , , ■ . __ -_x_
ginners, due to tlie suspension P'etec* this week fof alt-day
ef- marketing quotas.
In -the past, the records of pro-
duction have served as a basis
for determining the yields used
in marketing quota programs,,
crop insurance programs and in
■determining AAA payments.
“It is to the farmer’s best in-
terest that an accurate record
of his 1943 cotton production be
-kept-* because this, record may
. be needed in future AAA pro-
grams," Mr. Reynolds said. He
said that each farmer should
keep each gin ticket, bale re-
ceipt, or sales ticket for baled
cotton- and for lots of seed cot-
ton sold. The AAA has offered
to keep these records Jor any
farmer who wishes to deliver or
marl them to the county office.

Most Stores Co-operating '
With OPA Price Ceilings
WASHINGTON — Look far a
drive to police OPA ceiling
prices of consumer durable
goods, consumer services such as
shoe repairing and laundrying.
restaurants, perhaps fuel. It will
be conducted by “housewife pa-
trols.”
One of the least publicized but
most successful undertaking of
the OPA was its breation of price
panels last fall. Since they
were set up, the panels have
made phenomenal progress in
enforcing the community-wide
dollars-and-cents price ceilings
established on dry groceries jr
there Wafr'ISCT^cilies throughout
the nation.
Three members of each of the
country’s 6,500 rationing board:
constitute a “price panel?’ These
Members in turn recruit prig-
panel assistants, volunteers whose... ____
jobs it is to check on observance visted with relatives and friends
of price ceilings. More than" here last week.
45.000 stores were contacted i-
*the Boston, Atlanta, New York
Chicago and Cleveland areas.
How OPA’« Price Panels
Do Big Job -----
Results obtained are little
short of amazing, OPA claims.
In the Atlanta area, which, in-
cludes the southeastern portion
of the United States, from 90 to
--94 per cent of -the retail stores
are complying with the ceilings.
In Washington, where violations
once were flagrant, nearly 90
per cent of the 1,800 groceries
now. are observing ceilings.
.Clubwomen, .housewives,; pro-
fessional and small business men
who serve as panel assistants
are giving full credit for its suc-
cess. Most price violations
. found are settled peacefully at
conferences with ration boards.
Few cases reach the stage where
enforcement actions are'filed in
courts.
In Detriot, during one two-
. week period, 246 complaints
were investigated and only two
*ad to be given enforcement
agents.
Mrs. .Anne P. Flory, who boss-
es the' show in Washington, is
, enthusiastic.
X "We operate dn the premise
p that the store keepers are essen-'
tially'honest and want to com-
ply,” she says. “If we didn’t we
couldn’t run this program.’’

Montague Farmers May
Obtain FSA Loans
Montague bounty has been
designated as one of the coun-
ties in' Texas in which farm ten-
ant loans may be made during
the year 1943, Jewel D. Daugh-
erty, local FSA Supervisor, said
this week.
These farm tenant loans are
made by the Farm Security Ad-
ministration by the Bankhead-
Jones Farm Tenant Act to ten-
ant farmers to get financed to
buy a farm from other’ sources.
The loans are made for a period
of -forty years at 3% interest
and can_be repaid by the va-
fiable repayment method. The
variable repayment plan enables
the farmer to make, repayments
on his loan each yepr according
to his net income.
Preference will be given to
tenant farmers between the
ages of 21 and 35 years, who
have children, and have accu-
mulated enough livestock and
equipment to make a living on
a family size farm. Each ten-
ant must be an American citi-
zen. He and his family must
be in good, health, and have a
reputation: °f being a successful
tenant fanner in their commun-
ity. Any tenant farmer who
can meet these requirements and
is interested in obtaining a loan
under this plan should see the
Farm Security Administration
Supervisor in the basement of
the Courthouse at Montague,
Texas. ' . .

spots are the munitions, aricraft,
automobile and coal industries.
Even administration circles in
the capital admit that there is. a
lot of unrest among workers,
due to wage freezing and rising
prices.
Head-line maker John L.
Lewis may hit the front pages
again. His United Mine Work-
ers union now has the plea for
wage raises* before the War* La*J
bor board. A decision is expect-
ed soon. If the- wage demands
are turned down, miners may
walk out without awaiting ariy
strike call from Lewis.
Another- problem: Secretary
of Interior Harold L. Ickes is re-
turning government - operated
mines to their private owners.
WThe government seized them af-
ter a first coal strike in May.
Lewis has been insistent that the
government operate them, said
that his miners would work for
•Uncle Sam but not private op-
‘ 7 rators unless wage demands
are met.
A showdown may come when
nongryfa returns Sept. 14. At
its last session, congress enacted
the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike
bill, which, among other things
carries provisions that could put
a strike leader in jail. But how
effective the, measure is going
to be still awaits a major test.
Showdown May Come
Very Soon
In this connection, look for
more freouent use of the word
“Sanctions” in labor dispute
cases. President Roosevelt, in
signing the executive order
promising the WLB full support
of the government in enforcing
its decisions, told how “sanc-
tions” — it was his word—could
be applied.
Reluctant workers could be
drafted: they could be jaiied if
they picketed or encouraged a
strke: and they conld be “black-
listed” from all jobs for the du-
ration of the war in extreme
cjses if necessary wit", their,
