DEBT ADJUSTER
HOLDS MEETING
FOR FARMERS
W. V. Hanover, who has charge
of farm debt adjustment work in
District VII, will be in Austin on
Thursday, March 13, 1941, for the
monthly meeting of the Travis
County Farm Debt Adjustment
Committee. The meeting will be
held in the FSA Office, 304 Old
Federal Building, Austin, Texas and
all farmers who are burdened with
more debts than they can ever pay
are invited.
' “One of the best things a farmer
can do to withstand the shock of the
European war and our defense ef-
fort”, Mr. Hanover said, “is to get
his financial house in order. Strug-
gling along under a top-heavy debt
load these uncertain times is like
trying to cross a swollen and flood-
ed stream in an overloaded row-
boat.”
He explained that the farm debt
adjustment committee ,which is com-
posed of local men, helps farmers
and their creditors to work out an
'agreement which brings the farm-
er’s debts within his ability to pay.
Most creditors have found it more
to their advantage to grant adjust-
ments in the debts of over-burdened
farmers and permit them to continue
farming rather than foreclose on
their land or chattels, according to
Mr. Hanover. Services of the farm
debt adjustment committee, which
works under auspices of the Farm
Security Administration, are free
and confidential.

COMFORTABLE NEW SEATS
INSTALLED IN ELTEX
Dale Willson, owner of Eltex
Theatre, has just completed the
installation of 168 nice new up-
holstered chairs in his popular
theatre. He has rearranged the in-
terior, having now a central aisle,
connecting with an entrance isle,
extending across the width of the
building, giving patrons easy access
to the auditorium by either entrance
leading from the foyer. He plans
to place upholstered seats in the
balconies also for the convenience of
his overflow, which by the way is
rather an “every night affair” now.
The new seats are. upholstered
with white leather and are deep,
roomy and very comfortable. They
are drawing many favorable com-
ments from his pleased patrons. Mr.
Willson is ever on the alert to give
the best of service in pictures and
comfort to those who seek entertain-
ment in his theatre and the new
seats are but another effort in that
direction. Go see “Buck Privates”
tonight and enjoy trying them out!
This is your show and Mr. Willson
has gone to a lot of expense to fix
it up with nice chairs and aisle run-
ners and it is up to you to help him
keep it that way by refraining from
marring, the chairs and spitting on
