• The Sealy Tigers lost reg-
ional honors to Barbers Hill
this year as they did last year
—lost to the same team on the
same spot—but not so badly as
last year.
Last year the score was 38
to 0, but this year it was 12
to 25, with Sealy outplaying
the Eagles a larger part of the
first period. However, in foot-
ball as in war, the final total
is what counts, and Sealy loses
its second regional or bi-district
battle.
Nevertheless Sealy ended up
the season as champions of
District 30-B, and with an out-
standing record in the district.
Sealy won 249 scores to 59
for all opponents during the
season. Here is the record:

Mr. Hluchan was liked by

man H. Davies, national chair-
man of the Red Cross, for co-
operation in a drive for Red
Cross funds in Austin County.

scher, Extension Service, have
been requested by Secretary
Wickard through the State U.
S. D. A. Defense Council to in-
form the farmers of the exist- •
ing emergency in shortage of
farm implement repairs.
The council cannot stress the
importance too strongly of re-
pairing your farm machinery
at an early date, and knowing
you need to repair, so that you
can begin arranging for the re-
pairs before you start your
1942 crop. The council suggests
and recommends that farmers
may use all second-hand repair
parts that they can secure from
their neighbors or other ways
in repairing their machinery at
present. It is difficult to secure
many extras to farm machin-
ery.
They also suggest that after
checking your farm machinery,
and you know you need repair
parts, to get in touch with the
dealer so that he can place the
order for same before January
1, 1942, as suggested by the
State Council, and if the dealer
has any difficulty in securing
these parts ask him to appeal
to the county Defense Council
so that they may ask for prior-
ity on these particular parts
that are hard to secure.
There is a urgent demand
for iron and steel scraps to
speed the program of National
Defense. By marketing this
scrap you will contribute help
to the manufacturer to manu-
facture the necessary imple-
ments and implement parts
which again will help you out
in needed parts. In addition,
you will make a contribution to
National Defense.
