WE SPENT last week-end in
San Antonio, where a directors'
meeting wa huid by the South
Texas Press Association for the
purpose of determining the pro-
gram for this year's War Confer-
ence of the South Texas Press. |t
was decided to have a one-day busi-
ness meeting on April 22 at which
time somu of the outstanding
spokesmen of the country will
bring us messages on how we can
improve our service to the nation
in this time of war.
•
WHEN WE left Caldwell,
about 2:30 last Friday afternoon,
a mild snow storm was raging.
It was mild, in a way, but terri-
fic insofar as we arc concerned
in this part of (he country. We
stopped half a dozen times dur-
ing the first forty miles in or-
der to clear the windshield, the
wipers having been clogged by
the snow and sleet. There seemed
to be only a wagon trail in front
of us and we made every effort
to keep in the middle of it. About
ten miles this side of Bastrop it
suddenly stopped snowing. Five
miles past Bastrop the sun came
out and, while it was cold and
uncomfortable, the going was
much better and we had a plea-
sant drive the rest of the way.
•
DRIVING IN Snn Antonio is
still a problem what with the one-
way streets and all. Although we
cussed it we got by without a bob-
ble and not one time did a traffic
officer blow his whistle at ub.
•
THE WAR Bond drive got off
to a splendid start this week. The
workers, as far as we him- been
able to ascertain, have met with
little or no opposition «ml it is
believed that we can safely say the
Fourth War Loan Drive in Burle-
son County will go over in a big
way, just like all the rest of them
have gone over.
•
THE WOMAN'S CLUB will hold
a bake sole at the Gulf States Util-
ities Company office Saturday
morning', beginning at ten o'clock
and those of you who would like
t( have some real home-baked pies,
cakes or cookieB had better get
there in a hurry. They usually sell
out before noon.
•
WE RAVE a very interesting
letter from Glenn Schiller, son
of Mr. and Mrs. John Schiller,
who writes to his parents from
a port somewhere in the South
Pacific. He says: "The natives
here on this island are fairly well
educated in a primitive sort of
way. They talk 'Pijin English*
when they are talking to the
Missionary or during Church
Services. They also use it when
they are talking to one of the
other natives from a tribe other
than their own. as each of (he
tribes has s language all their
own. The Missionary says thai
on some of the larger islands
there may be as many as forty
or fifty different languaites spok-
en, hut they can all understand
each other by using this pijin
English.
"These people are really Rood
singers. They have perfect four-
part harmony on everything they
sing. If you ask me, I'll say that
the missionaries out here have
really done a swell job in helping
the natives to become more edu-
cated. and the natives also have
done a grand job in helping us
In more ways than one."

GLENN SENDS vera! samples
of "Pijin English" including "The
Lord's Prayer, Fhe Ten Com-
mandments." "1 Need Thee Every
Hour," ' to. We iiiv including "The
Lord's Prayer" so that our road
ers can see what this Pijin Eng-
lish is all about:

Chairman Hubert Womble
Says People of County
Coming Through
Committeemen and their work-
t i«, taking the streets Monday in

cash from individuals in the Fourth
War Loan Drive, were getting sat-
isfactory results, it was announced
Wednesday by Hubert H. Womble,
Chairman of the War Finance
Committee of Burleson County.
"I have no idea how much money
bus been subscribed to the drive,
nor how many bonds have yet been
bought, but from all indications,
almost everyone is meeting the
quota set for him and is promising
t< buy the amount of bonds the
central committee has set <kiwn as
bis part in the drive," said Wom-
ble.
The Fourth War I^oan Drive,
while technically starting on Jan-
uary 18 and ending on February
15, will take in the entire two
months of January and February.
All bonds purchased by individuals
in either of the months will go to-
ward meeting the $278,000 quota
for this county.
Womble stated that workers
were combing the entire county
but urged those who might have
been missed by committeemen to
make it known and come in for
their bond purchases.
The Central Committee set quo-
tas for all individuals and, in order
for Burleson County to come
through with the quota again as
has been done in the past everyone
must purchase the amount of
bonds assigned him.

Twelve hours and a half after
boarding a train at Caldwell, en-
route to his base at Camp Iron
Mountain, California, the life of
Pvt. Ewald George 7,w? *nemann
was snuffed out, when the train on
which he was traveling collided
with another swift passenger train
at Novice, Texas, about 12:50 last
Thursday afternoon in a heavy
snow storm.
Seven persons were killed in the
wreck and 83 were injured.
Private Zwernemann, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Alfred H. Zwernemann
of Caldwell, Route 4, had been
spending a fifteen-day furlough
with his mother and father near
Caldwell, and was on his way back
to California when the accident oc-
curred.
It is believed that Pvt. Zwerne-
mann was among those passengers
who were in a chair car near the
rear of a 12-car California-bound
train, running late, which had
stopped at the Novice flag station
to discharge a passenger. It was
struck by a four-car extra train,
bound for Camp Berkeley, Abilene,
fifty miles distant.
Funeral service was held for
Pvt. Zwerii. mann from the family
home on the 17th day of January

Reporting for the NEWS
Sergeant William C. Ripple of
Lexington, formerly of Chriesman,
was home on a twenty-day furlough
this week, after 28 months with
an anti-aircraft battery in the
South Pacific and recounted to
this reporter the Japanese sneak
attack at Pearl Harbor, where he
was stationed on that unforget-
able morning of December 7, 1941.
Besides the part he took in the
Pearl Harbor debacle, Sergeant
Ripple saw action in the Battle of
Midway Island, where four of the
Japanese's largest aircraft carriers
were lost in addition to 18 more
Jap warships.
He has a string of medals across
his chest almost as enormous as
those of his Lee County buddy,
Marine Sgt. Jim Bayer, about whom
we wrote two weeks ago. American
Defense: pre-Pearl Harbor medal;
Asiatic Pacific; with two major
battle stars, representing his work
at Pearl Harbor and Midway;
Good Conduct Medal; American
Theatre <>f War; Silver Star for
gallantry in action at Midway; and
four big stripes on his sleeve, one
for each six months overseas duty
during time of war. Those wore
the ribbons and st*ipes resting on
the chest of this gallant young man
of the American Armed Forces.
Shoot* Down Jap Plane
Asked if ho had had the pleasure
f shooting down any of the yel-
low bellies, the sergeant answered
that he was certain of one. "It was
an old Jap fighter nlane, a Jaka-
jama Model 97, during the Pearl
Harbor attack. I was using a 50
calibre machine gun. There were
two of us operating two guns on
a hill above Pearl Harb >r. My bud-
die's gun went out. The Jap plane
cs,me over us and already had been
hit. I finished him off and he
crashed a short distance from us.
The Jap was about 1200 or 1500
feet at the time I plastered him,"
he said. «
"We were above Pearl Harbor
on a high hill where we ware sta-
tioned. It was 7:55 of the morning
of Dee. 7 when the first attack by
the Japs was made. We were eat-
ing breakfast. After hearing ter-
rific explosions, one of my buddies
and I went to the edge of the hill
and looked down on Pearl Harbor.
Many fires were raging hrthe har-
bor. We looked up and saw five

First Lecture
Next Thursday
Simon Davidian To Speak
On Russia in Institute Of
Internat'l Understanding
The first lecture of a series of
four during the months of January
and February, known as the Insti-
tute of International Understand-
ing and sponsored by the Caldwell
Rotary Club, will take place at the
high school gymnasium next
Thursday night, January 27, at 8
o'clock, it was announced today by
D. L. Alford Jr., president of the
local Rotary Club.
The first speaker will be Simon
M. Davidian, who will speak on
"The Russian Republics as Contrib-
utors to a New World Order."
Tickets are on sale and are in
the hands of Rotarians, who have
made a sweep of the town in an
attempt to sell a reluctant populace
season tickets to the lecture series.
While just about enough tickets
have been sold to cover expenses
the sale was not as brisk as ex-
pected.
This is the first time in years
that a group of outstanding speak-
ers of the calibre of these men
l ave come to Caldwell. The speak-
ers will appear in Bryan and it is
understood that Bryan Army Air
Field and Marine and Navy Units
at College Station will release their
men to attend these lectures. Yet,
the citizens of Caldwell, with the
same opportunity to hear these
fin? speakers tossed in their laps,
hold back and hesitate to come out
of their covey holes to take advant*
age of it.
Season tickets are $2.20 each.
If you wait until the night of the
lecture the price of admission will
be $1.10 for each lecture. By pur-
chasing a season ticket now you
can hear all four lectures at half
price.

Rotary Speaker
Simon Michael Davidian, trav-
eler, lecturer, and specialist in
international affairs, stems from
Armenia which is now one of the
Republics in the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics. His people
made their escape from Armenia
during the Turkish massacres of
a generation ago and Simon was
born in Constantinople. His par-
ents subsequently lived in Paris
and then emigrated to America
where Simon was brought up in
Worcester, Massachusetts, in the
atmosphere of an Armenian home
and the school room of the New
World democracy. He attended
college at fothany. West Vir-
ginia. and Yale University. After
completing his academic educa-
tion, he traveled extensively, es-
pecially in Europe.
Even during his college days,
Mr. Davidian was called upon
very often to address popular
audiences, telling mainly of his
European experience and family
background and of what America
had come to mean to his people.
During the course of his years
of delivering public address on
the theme, "What America
Means to me," he came to have
a clear conception of what Amer-
ican democracy and freedom
mean to the world.
Mr. Da vidian's outstanding
achievements as a speaker be-
fore college audiences, conven-
tions, and popular forums, in
addition to hia special interest
and reliable knowledge of Russia
and the modern development of
the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics, all tend to make him
conspicuous as one competent to
address Rotary Institute audi-
ences on the theme, "The Rus-
sian Republics as Contributors
to a New World Order."

FUCHS SAYS POLL TAX MUST BE PAID BY JANUARY 31
BUT SOME ARE EXEMPTED, ACCORDING TO RULES
The last day on which poll taxes
may he paid to qualify voters who
must possess a poll tax receipt in
order to vote at the primary and
general elections this year is Jan.
81.
There are. however, classes of
residents who may vote without
the payment of a tax, either by
making affidavit or by obtaining
an exemption certificate from the
county tax assessor-collector, Ja-
cob A. Fuchs. Citizens in these
classes must have the exemption
certificate to vote, if they reside
within the limits of a city with
ntore than 10,000 population, but
if they reside in the county, out-
side such a city, even though they
vote at a city election booth, they
can vote by making an affidavit
to the fact that they are entitled
to exemption.
Bona fide residents who did not
live in the State of Texas Jan. 1,
1943, but who will have lived in
the state one year and in the coun-
ty six months, by the date of the
election in which they seek to take
part, are eligible to vote without
a poll tax receipt. They must, how-
ever, secure an exemption if liv-
ing in Caldwell or make affidavit
it they live in the county ami out-
side the city limits.
This regulation does not apply,
however, to persons in the armed
forces who come from other states
and who have been stationed in
this state for one year and in the
county six months, and it does not
apply to persons in the armed
forces from other points in Texas,
who have been stationed in the
county for six months. In each
case those persons vote at thek
piace of residence, not here.
The rule for the over-age class
i- that all residents of the county
who can otherwise qualify, who
reached the au of 00 years on or
before Jan. I. 1013, are exempted
from the payment of a poll tax.
They must, however, secure an ex-
emption certificate if residing
within the limits of 10,000 or more
population, or can make affidavit
if they reside in the county, out-
side the city, even though they may
vote at a polling place located
within the city limits.
In the under-age class, any resi-
dent who becomes of age after
Jan. I. 194.'!, and before the date of
the election in which he seeks to
participate is not liable for a poll
tax. He must, however, obtain a
certificate of ex mption if he lives
within the city limits, or may make
affidavit if he live- in the county,
lut outside the city, even though
bis vot injr place is located within
the city.
County Asked To
Aid Wounded In
Seeking Comfort
Many Thing* Needed By
Men in Hospitals, Says
Chairman Hospital
Meeting with the Central
Camp and Hospital Council óf
American Red Cross at the
land Air Field in Waco durtaf the
latter days of December, liisa
Kathleen Cade, local chairman, was
advised that Burleson County was
expected to furnish a siseable list
of furniture for dayrooms in gov.
ernment hospitals in the state.
According to the population oi
the counties in the district Burle-
son County has been asked to con
tribute the following items not lat-
er than February 17:
1 piano and bench; 4 smoking
stands; 2 magazine racks; 1 set-
tee; 1 davenport; 2 lounge chairs;
2 card tables; 1 floor lamp; 1 table
lamp; 1 subscription to Esquire
magazine and one subscription to
Saturday Evening Post; I pool ta-
ble; 6 permanent covers for maga-
zines.
It was stated by officials that
each chairman wrf expected to sea
that all donated items are in ex-
cellent condition and not ones
needing repair.
It so happens that there are no
funds to take care of the work of
equipping these hospitals for
wounded men in the armed forcea
and it falls upon the shoulders of
the people of the various countiea
to assist in making the wounded
men of this country as comfortable
as possible.
All patriotic citizens of the coun-
ty are urged to get in touch with
Mi9s Cade and advise her what
part of this assignment they may
be able to shoulder.
