“Reasonably favorable weath-
er during the 1947 season should
result in larger plantings and
also favor higher yields. A more
favorable labor situation and
increased machinery supplies
are expected to facilitate higher
production. Present prices, if
sustained, would allow cotton to
compete more effectively with
alternative enterprises.”
“There is no other fiber which
has more opportunity to reduce
its cost of production or to im-
prove its usefulness and versa-
tility through research than
cotton.”
Ordinarily, the more cars in
traffic, the more accidents we
have—but—the traffic death rate
in cities over 2,500 population is
up 17 per cent, while in towns
under 2,500 the death rate is up
90 per cent for the first nine
months of the year. Why? The
Texas Safety Association won-
ders if the adage, “There is
safety in numbers,” applies—or
Austin county residents will
consume more than 4,350,000
quarts of milk and milk products
this year in maintaining the
county’s high nutritional stand-
ards, it was predicted today by
the nation’s leading distributor
of dairy products.
“With a near record supply of
milk coming from the nation’s
dairy farms, consumption of
dairy products this year will
nearly equal that of 1945, when
more than 60,000,000,000 quarts
were consumed,” said G. W.
Diehl, of A & P Food Store’s na-
tional dairy department. “A 22
per-cent increase in per capita
consumption of milk during the
war years helped overcome the
loss of nutrition caused by cur-
tailed supplies of fats and oils
and helped bring about the na-
tion’s high nutritional wartime
levels.”
An increased supply of most
cheese products is now available
in many sections of the coun-
try and other milk products
are expected to be adequate dur-
ing the fall and winter months,
Diehl said. These products con-
tain nearly 14 per cent of the
calories, 24 per cent of the pro-
teins, 18 per cent of the fats, 74
per.cent of the calcium and 45
per cent of the riboflavin con-
sumed by the average individual.
The pioneering efforts of
food chains in developing a
streamlined distribution system,
Diehl said, have made possible
the quick movement of milk
and milk products from dairy
centers to densely populated
consumer areas. Modern refrig-
eration equipment and improved
handling methods were also cited
as instrumental in maintaining
the high nutritional qualities of
dairy products.
Austin county’s 2,735 farms
are expected to produce more
than 8,100,000 quarts of milk
this year.
During the first nine months
of this year 1,336 Texans have
met death on the highway, ac-
cording to the Texas Safety
Association. This reflects a 36
per cent increase over that of
last year. The Association urges
you when you’re driving to re-
member that accident is no re-
spector of persons—you may be
next! Take it easy and drive
carefully!
The Texas Safety Association
reveals that 286 high schools
and several junior high schools
of Texas now are offering driv-
er education and driver train-
ing in their regular curricula.
These courses were promoted
through the Safety Division,
department of education, which
is not entirely state-supported.
Thousands of trained drivers on
the highways—what better in-
vestment could a state make?
when the goods look big and
seemingly heavy. Such was the
case when two well-known busi-
ness people, Ennis Nentwig and
Lloyd Schroeder, were seen
lugging large bundles from the
post office the other day. Lloyd’s
big mischievous grin made it
even more of a mystery. Could
be that Christmas is near, eh!
‘Twas nice seeing one of
Sealy’s most recent brides back
from an extended visit and
mingling with homefolks once
again.
It’s a fine group of fellows
who make up the musical or-
ganization known as Raymond
Baca’s orchestra. It is evident
that the bunch enjoys a gay
time as well as making it a gay
time for their dancing public.
Playing at Firemen’s Park the
past Saturday night, these musi-
cians are well-known here, hav-
ing been featured in most dance
halls in this vicinity.
Complimenting the News force
with floral nosegays, Ben Hib-
beler is always a welcome and
pleasant visitor. Mr. Hibbeler
takes pride in his flower gar-
den and does a fine job of it,
judging from the specimens he
shows.
Mrs. Leroy Janicek, assistant
to Dr. Vykoukal, and an active
young wife, uses her spare time
during office hours, catching up
on homework. She is a mem-
ber of the sewing club composed
of a group of young ladies, who
meet each week—“A stitch in
time saves nine.”
Elbert Lepp was smothered
with affection from Joe Peters
on the sidewalk one day the
past week. An ideal match in
height: Looking at it from El-
bert’s side, he’s really not too
short—Joe is just too tall; and
from Joe’s angle, Joe is not too
tall, Elbert’s just too short.
Mrs. Fred Frimel was proud-
ly displaying a lovely pink ca-
melia Wednesday morning, the
first of the season, that she
picked from her flower bed. It
was something really worth
cherishing, so perfect in format-
ion and beautiful in petal ar-
rangement.
Club Rendezvous should be
nice and cozy during the cold
winter months, as two new
automatic gas floor furnaces
were installed last week in the
club room.
Agreeable Mrs. Hy. Grabow is
always in a hurry and constant-
ly on the go when on her usual
business rounds in town, yet
she always finds time for a
friendly word or two with
friends.
One’s curiosity is always a-
roused when someone is seen

Whether you’ll celebrate by eating out

21,367 Veterans in
Houston Area Receive
Compensation
Loan guarantys were approv-
ed by the Houston Regional of-
fice of the Veterans Administra-
tion for 828 World War II vet-
erans during the month of Oct.
October loan approvals carried
the total in this area to $44,322,-
499 on 7255 loans, for which $20,-
332,390 has been guaranteed.
Bulk of the approvals are for
home, the VA reports.
Also shown in the VA.report
for October is that 13,716 vet-
erans are training in schools and
6,917 on-the-job, 1385 of them
pensioned, disabled veterans.
During October 649 applicat-
ions for hospitalization or home
care were placed, and at the end
of the month, the VA report
shows, 70 veterans with service
connected disabilities and 111
with non-service connected dis-
abilities were in hospitals.
A total of 21,367 veterans and
their beneficiaries are now re-
ceiving monthly pension and
compensation awards, the VA
reports, 750 new cases being ad-
judicated during the month.
It is pointed out that four-
fifths of the running awards
are to World War II veterans
and their beneficiaries, and that
the remainder of the cases are
from World War I, Spanish-
American and earlier wars and
a few of .them for service in the
peace-time establishments.
At the beginning of October,
the VA said, there were 2,741,-
025 active pension and compen-
sation cases in the United States,
1,830,052 of them from World
War II and of which 528,891 are
to dependents of deceased vet-
erans.
The VA regional office re-
ports that there is an increas-
ing interest among veterans in
National Service Life Insurance.
“Liberalized forms of this
government insurance is caus-
ing an increasing number of
veterans to reinstate their po-
licies and convert them to per-
manent insurance plans that are
now provided,” said H. F. Tsch-
irhart, regional insurance of-
ficer.
He said that the report for
the Nation, at the beginning of
October showed that 6,195,000
World War II veterans had po-
licies in force in a total amount
of $38,615,520,000.
“With World War I policies
of 545,849 veterans in force, for
$2,367,142,761, the total of USA
veterans’ insurance now reaches
nearly 41 billion dollars” Tschir-
hart said.
