General Simpson recently was
awarded the insignia of “knight
commander of the most excellent
order of the British Empire.”
The investiture was made by King
George, in person.
And, since this seems to be a
column on generals (the enlisted
GI’s usually get all the kudos
here), still another Texan wears
the stars—Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker,
deputy commander of the Army
Air Forces.
General Eaker, who used to
thrill San Antonians and others
with his daring upside down fly-
ing, was born in Eden, near San
Angelo. Last week he was back
in the West Texas homeland, visit-

If You Are Going to Buy a Farm.
If you intend to buy a farm,
live on it and make a living from
it what factors should you consid-
er? Miss Jo Garland Co. Home
Dem. Agent says that according to
Joe Matthews of the A. and M.
College Extension Service there
are at least six. And they apply
whether you buy when last prices
are high or prices are low.
a
A far, that is to serve as
home and a business should be
large enough to bring in an income
that will meet your living expen-
ses and operation costs and repay
you something extra for your time
and labor, then it should have soils
of sufficient fertility to preduce
profitable crops. Third, it should
be adapted to the type of farming
you want and expect to carry on.
And here’s the fourth require-
ment. The farm should offer im-
provement to meet the needs of
your family, the type of farming
you intend to follow, and the pro-
duction of the farm. Futher-
more, you should choose a loca-
tion that offers good markets for
the things you have to sell. Fin-
ally, yous should make sure the
place you buy provides the social
and educational surroundings for
your family.
That may call for a lot of study,
for the community is most import-
tant to your family’s happiness and
welfare. You probably will want
to consider what kind of school
the community has, and find out
whether school bus transportation
is handy. All-weather farm-to-
market roads are inportant. So is
the location of the nearest trade
center. You’ll want to consider
the availability of rural electrifi-
cation, rural mail, and telephone
service.. .not to mention the dis-
tance to the nearest physician,
hostipal, and veterinarian. All |
these things are worthy of your
study when you decide to buy a
farm.

Last Friday night a large crowd
enjoyed the softball game by the
Meridian and Walnut Springs
teams at Katy Park. For several
innings Meridian had the game
their way, but the local boys woke
up and by hard work won by an

the spectators were afforded some
real entertainment when the
Crown Machine Company team of
Fort Worth had to get busy and
do their best to defeat Walnut
Springs which was leading them
by a small margin. The final
score was Fort Worth 11, Walnut

FOUR GROUPS
ELIGIBLE FOR PREFERRED
GASOLINE RATIONS
Changes affecting the eligibility
of several groups of persons for
gasoline rations were announced,
by OPA. They are as follows—1.
Servicemen returning to this
country from overseas, who are is-
sued temporary duty orders for
“Rehabilitation, Recuperation and
Recovery” may obtain furlough
gasoline rations. These service-
men should apply to their Local
War Price and Rationing Boards
and present both their temporary
duty orders and the mileage ra-
tioning record (OPA R-534) for
the car that they are going to use.
Previously, the ration was given
only when servicemen on leave or
furlough for three days or more
presented leave or furlough pa-
pers. The furlough ration, which
will remain unchanged, provides
one gallon of gasoline each day of
30 gallons. 2. Because growing
crops damaged by hail or wind
must be inspected promptly for
maximum salvage, adequate gas-
oline rations will be provided in-
surance adjusters to make trip to
farms for this purpose. Former-
ly, semi-preferred mileage, which
is limited to 825 miles per month,
was permitted for travel to farms
to inspect storm damaged crops.
3. Preferred mileage rations will
be issued to buyers for essential
plants who have to travel long dis-
tances to buy cattle, sheep, pulp-
wood, rice and similar items pro-
cessed at the plants. Local boards
will give the preferred mileage
rations to buyers for such essen-
tial establishments as packing
plants feedlots, canneries or pro-
cessing plants, under the follow-
ing conditions: (1) Applicants
must be skilled in grading and
classifying the products they buy.,
(2) The industry’s marketing buy-
ers travel long distances. Hereto-
fore, these buyers were limited to
semi-preferred mileage. In many
cases this ceiling of 825 miles per
month, which will remain unchan-
ged when the regular “B” ceiling
is raised to 650 miles a month
June 11, does not provide sufficient
gasoline for essential travel by
these buyers. 4. The eligibi-
ity of social workers for preferred
mileage is limited by the provision
that only full time social workers
who are both employed and paid
by a nonprofit organization may
be issued preferred mileage ra-
tions.
