Set For Today
Funeral rites for J. L. Dyke,
aged 07, retired veteran railroad
man of 1209 Main street, of Or-
ange, who died at St. Thercse's
hospital irt Beaumont at 10:45 a.
m. Thursday, were held at the
Fuller* funeral chapel at 5 p. m.
yesterday with Rev. W. A. Cor-

'that community some time today.
AFTER THE WAR in Orange
entirely new conditions will pre-
vail. This will be true regard-
less of the time when the battles
are over. And while Orange peo-
ple will not be responsible 'for all
things that will be taking plaoo
at that time, they can do quite a
lot toward shaping their destiny
by studying the matter now and
then getting busy doing some-
thing. about it. It is possible that
Orange people will wish in later
years that they had taken advant-
age of the opportunity of makinij
some essential improvements not
yet brought outt__
RICE FARM PROBLEMS tins
year will evidently include that
of obtaining help In cultivation
and harvesting the 1942 crops
which Will probably be consider-
ably larger from the standpoint
of acreage, than heretofore. A
systematic plan of obtaining help
could be carried out by the farm-
ers with the' aid of merchants and
business men of the city who
should be extensively interested
in an industry that may soon be-
came chief among those operated
in this section^ . • ,
HOUSING SITES have been
somewhat a problem in the Or-
ange area due to the fact that the
cost of access entrances into the
additions built for defense worker
families, have proved costly and
are very hard to acquire when
needed. The government has ap-
parently taken into consideration
the matter of convenient location
of the houses with reference to
close proximity to their work. Is
Is predicted that reclamation of
more marsh lands will be resorted
to in the proccss of securing suit-
able sites for defense worker
houses.

Dry Cleaners And Laundries Ask
Citizens To Cooperate In Plan Of
Conserving Paper, Rubber, Gasoline
- Cooperation of Orange citizens
was being urged Friday by local
dry cleaners and laundries in u
new plan to conserve papetylteel,
rubber and gasoline, all of whicH
are essential to the war emer-
gency
The dry cleaners and laundries
arc asking the cooperation of the
public in the following plan:
Call before 9;30 a. m. If the
dry-cleaning is to be picked up
and returned the same day. Calls
coming in after 9:30 from outly-
ing areas to be picked up while
deliveries are being made in the
afternoon. Only one trip will be
made to the outlybife anas in
the mornings and one in the af-
C. of
ternoon. .
AH customers are asked to save
and return with their next clean-
ing, all wire coat hangers not in
actual use in your home.
During fair weather there will
b« less bags used than has been the
custom in the past and on jmati
bundles the bags will be elimi-
nated entirely.
The whole hearted cooperation
of the public is urged in this new
policy since it is only through
conservation of materials and
equipment now, that war delivery
service can be maintained.
Under present conditions there
is no, indication that new equip-
ment will be available when the
present equipment is gone.
