The first steps in the organiza-
tion of a Squadron of the Sons of
the American Legion were taken
by the John D. Cabaniss Post at
a barbecue held Wednesday eve-
ning at H. J. (Cap) Gregory’s
place near Garland. Thirty-five
boys and their fathers, augmented
by thirty additional fathers, who
unfortunately do not have sons,
and guests from various places,
were the guests of the local Legion
Post.
Memlbers of the Legion feel that
it is their duty to encourage these
boys to follow in the Legion’s
footsteps toward a better citizen-
ship and a greater and happier
nation. A boy’s character deter-
mines what kind of a man he will
be and what can be more impor-
tant than to do all possible to to
direct his character in the proper
direction.
All male descendents, adopted
sons and stepsons of members of
the American Legion and such
descendents of male and female
veterans who died during service
in the World War or who died
subsequent to the honorable dis-
charge from such service, are eli-
gible for membership. The Legion
wants every boy whose father is a
veteran to become a memlber of
the Squadron. A meeting will be
held in the near future to sign
the charter. Give the names of
the boys to any of the following
who comprise the committee from
the local Post of the Legion: Dr.
Willard Brown, H. J. Gregory and
W. H. Bradfield.
Joe Smith Dyer spoke to the
Rockwall Rotary Club last Thurs-
day on some of his trips to Europe
before the war started, and es-
pecially on his trip around the
world in 1935.
Sale of the Lupton Twin Lakes
Estate on the Belt Line Road,
near New Hope, to J. B. MeCutch-
in of Tyler has been announced. It
is understood, that Mr. MeCutchin
plans to move to the place which
consists of forty-five acres of im-
proved grounds ' with a ranch-type
home, landscaped grounds and the
lakes. Mr. McCutchin paid $25,000
for the estate.

The onion harvest got underway
again here Thursday after four
days of very little activity due to
wet fields. A two-inch rain fell
during the week-end and some
fields are still too boggy for
gathering.
Thursday’s report from the De-
partment of Agriculture reported
a good wire inquiry but sales
were so few that no market was
established. Most onions sold this
week were reported to be bring-
ing a little better than $2.00 per

Most growers and shippers be-
lieve that the week-end rain will
be beneficial to the onions provid-
