Guests Friday
At Breakfast Here
Ewing Thomason of El

Of Wichita Visitors
Congressmen R. Ewing Thoma-
son of El Paso and Ed Gossett of
Wichita Falls, were guests of hon-
or Friday morning at a break-
fast given by the Chamber of
Commerce and attended by 50
military officer from Camp
Howze and Gainesville business
and professional men.
Visitors included Brig. Gen. B.
D. Robinson, Col. Leroy Nelson,
camp commander; Col. William
Caffee, commanding officer of the
station hospital, and Lt. Junius
Fishburn, public relations officer,
Camp Howze, and Lt Stan Thom-
ason, Jr. nephew of Mr. Thoma-
son, at home on leave from the
army.
Muenster was represented by
Mayor J. M. Weinzapfel, Postmas-
ter Authur Endres, Democratic
Chairman Joseph A. Luke and
Herbert Meurer. J. I. Lane was
present from Valley View.
President Cecil Tinsley of the
Chamber of Commerce, intro-
duced Congressman Gossett of the
13th district, who said that Rep.
Thomason was one of his political
mentors and an illustrious mem-
ber of the house of representa-
tives, now serving as chairman
of the Texas delegation in con-
gress and is ranking member of
the military affairs committee.
Mr. Thomason’s remarks were
confined to reminiscenses of his
life in Cooke county, brief ref-
erence to the war, and expressions
of appreciation for the courtesies
shown him in his old home town.
The congressman contrasted
conditions when he went to Wash-
ington as representative 14 years
ago, when “everybody thought
they were rich, and were playing
the stock market. Then came the
depression with 6,000 bank fail-
ures, 5-cent cotton, and 30-cent
wheat.”
“Now we are in the midst of
the worst war in history,” he
said, declaring that in his belief
the war in Europe would be over
“before many months pass,” and
asserting that “when the war is
over, let it be those who are
equipped by experience in states-
manship to make the peace so we
won’t have this to go through
with in another 25 years.”

oma Lake need not worry about
their future fishing, just because
they are biting good now, W. J.
Tucker, secretary of the Texas,
Game, Fish and Oyster-Commis-.
sion, told L. «A. Wilke, Chamber
of Commerce manager. "
“We’ll put in ten bass for every
one taken out,” Mr. Tucker said.
“We have proved a valuable
point in fish propagation at Tex-
oma Lake. We know that the
best size fish to stock a lake like
that with is ‘fry’ size and we are
prepared to do a complete job.”
Mr. Tucker said the growth of
the fish put into the lake was
startling to many fishing experts,
who protested the opening of the
season last Saturday.
“We put 7,000,000 fry size bass
in the lake in April and May.
They have grown so fast we have
felt perfectly justified in' opening
the season this early.”
Bag Limit on Bass
Bag limit is ten bass ten inches
long, he told Mr. Wilke. This
regulation was passed by the
commission recently to conform
with Oklahoma regulations. In
other waters in Texas not regu-
lated by special laws the limit is
15 fish 11 inches long.
Mr. Tucker warned against
early shooting of ducks on the
Texas side of the lake. ] He also
revealed Oklahoma now permits
the shooting of ducks on the lake
with a Red river bed license,
-' “The 15,000 banks of the nation
have already answered the ques-
tion ‘Can Private Enterprise Meet
the Post-War Credit Needs of
America?’,” said Mr. Hanes. “Far
in advance of the time when
credit is actually needed for re-
conversion and post-war activ-
ities, the banks have adopted a
dynamic and constructive credit
program and are already carrying
it into effect.”
Banking credit policy, according
to Mr. Hanes, is directed toward
the competent man. “Every com-
petent man, firm or corporation
that needs bank credit for some
constructive purpose that serves
the private enterprise economy of
this country will ge it,” he de-
clared.
“If a man has character and ca-
pacity but is short on collateral,
let’s stick by him,” Mr. Hanes told
the bankers. “It was character and
’know-how’ that built this country
in times when collateral and capi-
tal were short. The very same
qualities will make America a
stronger country in the post-war
period. If bank credit can help
competent men build a better
I country, the banks are going to
« see that they get it.”
“This does not mean that bank-
ing is . going to make reckless
loans,” he added. “Such loans are
of no benefit to the borrower, the
bank, or the community. Nor is
it to be construed that banks have
not been making loans to small
business and particularly to men
of character and ability. They
resistance are credited to the
“Kraut Killers.”

Applications for
Loans Reviewed
By FSA Committee
Plans for New Year’s
•Farm Ownership
Program Made Recently
Farm Security administration
committee members held an all-
day meeting Wednesday in the
FSA office at the courthouse to
review applications for loans to
farmers being assisted by the
farm ownership and rural re-
habilitation programs in Cooke
county. ’ g
Plans for next year’s program %§
were approved. Committee mem-
bers present were Chairman
Jake Biffle, Howard Springer,'
and Rufe Winger. Also in then
meeting were Robert E. West?
district supervisor; N. A. Cleye-
land, county supervisor, and Mrs.
Estelle M. Trew, associate supe-
visor.
In the two-way program whiah
helps worthy tenant farmers'to
purchase and finance their farms,
such persons are given up to 40
years at 3% interest to complete
payments on the property; how-
ever, statistics show that mgst
farmers are able and do complete
such payments in a relatiyely
few years. Four local farmers
who undertook such payments,
paid for their farms outright in
five years time.
Of the 125 farmers who have
taken advantage of the financial
assistance offered for farm op-
eration under the plan 10 of these
have already paid in full the
loans made to them, and 32%
per cent of the amount due for
both programs has already been
met by farmers this year, with
returns from the cotton and pea-
nut crops still to come in. This
can be attributed in part of the
great productivity of feed crops
this year—the largest in the his-
tory of the 11-year program.
