Julius Brune Attends
2-Day PCA Meeting
In San Antonio
Julius Brune, president of the
Brenham. P.C.A., returned from
San Antonio, where he attended
a two-day meeting with repre-
sentatives of the 36 production
credit associations of Texas. Mr.
Brune was elected chairman and
Judge R. W. Barry, of Navasota,
was elected secretary-treasurer.
The main topic for discussion
was around credit policies and
how to retire all of the govern-
ment capital and have the asso-
ciation owned and controlled by
the farmers and ranchers. In
1934 the federal government put
$6,500,000 in the 36 associations.
To date all but $2,455,000 has
been repaid, plans have been
completed to repay $2,315,000 by
the end of this year and pay the
balance, which is $140,000 during
the year of 1948.
An outstanding feature of the
meeting was that all of the re-
presentatives elected by the 36
associations were present.

Wittt Weaver, 3 year old son of
Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Weaver,
who agreed to sing a song, if he
could have an ear of corn. Mrs.
Weaver accompanied the little
tot, as he joyfully sang the sac-
red number, “Glory!” “Glory!”.
The auditorium rang with ap-
plause for an encore, but the
little fellow declined, because
he needed to practice on a song.
This feature number was a
real treat.

Crescent Wins Bi-District Game
In a game that was rather one-
sided the speedy Crescent Blue-
Jays beat the Wallis Steers in a
Bi-District game in Wharton,
Wednesday night. The opening
quarter saw the Blue-Jays lead
with a touchdown in a very few
plays.
At the half the Steers held
them down to a 15 to 0 score.
After the half several Steers
were injured and the speedy
Blue-Jays ran the score up to
40 to 0. Never before have the
Steers encountered such speedy
opposition.
We think the Cresent Blue-
Jays have a very speedy and
well trained team. They really
played a good game to clinch the
Bi-District trophy.
As you go strolling through
the park, your lover and you,
with love all a bloom about you,
what does he think of, but play-
ing golf?
And when you feel in a ro-
mantic mood, he doesn’t even
talk to you.
While the birds are singing,
and you are complaining, he
talks of his boyhood days.
When your heart is all a flut-
ter thinking of your lover, he
tells you of the hard day at the
office.
When you want to sit and woo,
does he tell you of his love?
Does he call you pretty names?
Oh, no, he complains of his
corns.
“Isn’t that just like a boy!”

The War Assets Administrat-

largest disposal operations-—sale
of 2434 buildings at Camp Swift,
near Bastrop.
The camp, which covers 52,-
000 acres, has been divided, for
sales purposes, into three differ-
ent areas—122 buildings in the
commerical areas, (camp laun-
dry, bakery, etc.) to be sold for
on-site use; 162 buildings in the
institutional areas (including the
hospital) to be sold for on-site
use, and 2150 barracks and mis-
cellaneous buildings to be sold
for off-site use.
The buildings already have
been offered to priority buyers-
the federal government, the Re-
construction Finance Corporat-
ion for resale to small business,
state and local governments and
non-profit institutions in that
order.
WAA officials estimate that
350 buildings will have been
bought for off-site use by prio-
rity buyers (chiefly schools)
when all applications are proces-
sed and that cycle of the sale is
completed. Remaining build-
ings for off-site use will be of-
fered to non-priority buyers at
a sale to be held December 16
and 17. They will be open to I
inspection December 1.
