"In all our crucial hours the press
has thrown the pitiless white light

"I ask the press in this new cru-

ScOfield, after delivering a $1000
war bond to Treasurer Sam Fore
Jr., of Floresville for the associa-
tion, thanked publishers and edit-
ors of Texas newspapers for their
support of bond sales.
As state chairman of war bond
sales, he asked his listeners to warn
Texans the compulsory purchase
plan looms for the nation if new
quotas beginning May 1 are not
voluntarily met.
"In a few days," Scofield said,
"your county will receive its allot-
ment of war bonds—two and one-
half times the allotment to date.
It will be a load to carry, but theae
bonds are the guaranteed instru
mentalities of your government.
"This is the last tost, tha add

today are "demonstrating a willing-
ness to forget constitutional rights
of a free press and are submitting
to a wartime censorship.
"We are not being censored on
vital war information because a
dictator commanded it, but becausc
of patriotism and love of our coun-
try exists."
The relationship between the
press and the Government during
wartime also was discussed by Maj.
William N. Nuckols, public rela-
tions officer for the Gulf Coast Air
Corps Training Center.
In a speech on "Public Relations
Censorship and the Air Force," the
officer said that editors could ask
themselves this question in deter-
mining the permissibility of pub-
lishing a questionable story:
"Is this story the final piece in
a jigsaw puzzle that will portray a
complete military operation"?
Seemingly j.iimportant stories
on troop movements, destinations,
etc., when pieced together, can very
easily portray a coming offensive
in a given area, he pointed out.
"The same pertains to aircraft
movements and the occasional air-
craft accident," he illustrated.
The suppression of military news
does not mean the suppression of
justifiable criticism, he said, and
added that "this is one of the in
alienable rights of the American
press and it is not the intent of
the Government to suppress it."

dated May 5 to 16, No. 2 from May
17 to 30; stamp No. 3, from May
31 to June 13 and stamp No. 4,
from June 14 to 27. Stamps are
not good except during the period
designated thereon.
Each individual can have two
pounds of sugar, ration free. As
an example: A family of five can
have ten pounds of sugar on hand,
and is allowed four additional
pounds each, which will make the
total poundage of thirty for the

pounds of sugar on hand, hooka
can be issusd and all «tamps re-
moved, but if that family of five
has 31 pounds of sugsr on band,
books can not be issued to that
family. This applies due to the fact
that not more than four stamps
can be removed from the ration
book at any one time.

training for work on the farm. He
continued that these hoys, who are
highly trained at owning their own
farms, have no way to get one of
their own. "In order to keep the
farm youth satisfied and at home
'Hi the farm where they belong and
where they would like to be, some

necessary," said the speaker.
Herrmann also pointed out that
another thing which was detriment-
al to retaining the youth of this
section at home was the fact that
no adequate recreation facilities are
available.
A short business session was
held by the chapter, a play was ar-
ranged, music playeil by the F. F.
A. string band and all entertain-
ment was carried out by the boys
themselves.
Five Caldwell business men were
awarded honorary memberships in
the Caldwell F. F. A. They were
Henry Womble, George Fall, Jack
Clark, J. A. Gray arid J. W. Gray.
In presenting these men with the
honorary memberships Edward
Coufal, president of the chapter,
said that it was done as a recogni-
tion of the outstanding assistance
these men had rendered the Cald-

failed to improve his condition and
Sunday evening, while Mrs. Sym-
mank was attending chores in the
back yard, another attack came up-
on him and he died before assist-
ance could be called.
Funeral service was held in
Caldwell from the Phillips-Luckey
Funeral Home and Lutheran
church at ten o'clock Tuesday
morning and the regains moved to
LaGrange, where an additional
service was held and interment
made in the City Cemetery of La
Grange with Rev. E. C. Poehlmann,
Caldwell, and Rev. A. P. Koehler,
pastor of Zion's Lutheran Church,
officiating.
Mr. Symmank was born May 28,
1913, at Lincoln, Texas, in Lee
county, and was baptised in the
local Missouri Lutheran church.
Later his family located at La
Grange, where he grew up and at-
tended the Parochial School of the
Trinity Lutheran Church, in which
his father was a trustee.
He entered hiph school, but being
a youth of much activity and ener-
gy, he terminated his education
here and sought employment. He
found work in the A. & P. grocery
store. In 193:1 he entered the CCC
camp, known as Camp Pinal, Globe,
Arisona, and worked as an apprent-
tee in the culinnry department. He
became chief cook and served in
this capacity for two years, when
he became engaged to Miw Ann
Perica of Globe, Arisona. On March
2, 1936, the couple were married by
Father Genevier of Globe, Arizona.
Mr. Symmank terminated his rela-
tionship with Camp Pinal and re-
turned to Texas and took up resi-
dence in La Grange. While living
in La Grange the couple attended
Zion's Lutheran Church of which
Rev. A. P. Koehler is pastor.
My Symmank is survived by his
widow, Mrs. O. A. Symmank, one
son, Johnny Symmank, his widowed
mother, Mrs. Alma Symmank, two
sisters, Mrs. A If. Juenger of La
Grange, Mrs. Robert Zapp of Bell-
ville, and one brother, Ben Sym-
mank of Lincoln. Other near rela-
tives are his uncles and aunts, Ot-
to Tonn and family of Mannheim,
Alvin Tonn and family of Giddings,
Mrs. Bertha Zwernermann and
family of Houston and Mrs. Char-
lie Tonn and family of Lincoln.
