In compliance with an urgent re-
quest issued by War Production
Board Chief Donald M. Nelson, the
local scran paper drive will open in
Bastrop next week, urdei' tin* .-pon-
sorship of a local organization.
Waste paper is, just now, the No.
1 critical war material, Mr. Nelson
said, and supplies are dangerously
low. \\ hile the actual dates on thi
drive have been placed from August
20 through September 20, plans fM
tin organization of the drive are
well under way. and further detailed
announcement will be used next
week.
In the meantime, local people are
asked to begin saving scrap paper
again, and they may be assured that
disposition of some sort will be made
of it. in order to get it into the pro-
per channajs for war production.
People are asked, however, please
to tie their magazines into hudles of.

handled, and
in a similar

waste paper from the
in the home or in of-
fices is usuable, too, if packed into
bags of any kind and tied up so that
it may be handled without scatter-
ing. The suggestion has been made
that .oe housewife place, either a pa-
per bag or a feed or flour sack in
her kitchen in a convenient spot to
take care of all of the scrap paper
that accumulates so quickly around
the house. Waste baskets in offices
may be emptied and saved in a si-
milar manner.
Bastrop has never failed yet to
do her part, even going well over her
part in some instances, in any drive
that has been scheduled in the town.
Start saving your sera- paper today
and let's put Bastrop over the top
in the waste paper drive. If its pa-

to see that they get all we have!

CAMP SWIFT, July 26. (Spl.)—
Appreciation for the fine reception
given members of the 10th Light Di-
vision in Camp Swift has been ex-
pressed by the mother of one soldier
who arrived here recently from Camp
Hale, Colorado. The letter, address-
ed to the Camp Swift Baron, the
Camp newspaper, is typical of many
which have been received from sol-
diers themselves and their relatives.
The writer, Mrs. Maymie Kirkpat-
rick of Steger, Illinois, voiced her
:,mreciation as follows:
"I would like the people at Camp
Swift to know how much I appre-
ciate the way our boys from Camp
Hale, Colo., were received. I have
a son with the HM PFC Win. Kirk-
patrick. Bill was born in 111.. < stor-
ed thi service January 20, 10^3, has
been with the f ()4 ever since. He
has written ho\v nice the people were
to them and I also get the Baron af-
ter he has finished reading it and en-
joy it very much and I'm proud to be
one of this great Nation. I'm a de-
fense worker. I took my son's place
in the Columbia Tool Steel.
"Thanking you again for your
kindness to the boys from Camp Hale'
and may God bless ea-h and every
one and send peace once more to i
all."
CAMP SWIFT, July 26. ( p
Improved facilities for broadcasting

itary and civilian personnel of the

riety nature and which have won
high praise from listeners.

al Hospital and in McCloskey Gen-
eral Hospital at Temple. They go
out over Station KTBC (590) in
Austin and originate at Service
Clubs on the post. The programs

We remember a paragraph I homas
Jefferson wrote into the American
Declaration of Independence in which
he assailed King George III:
"For taking away our charters,
abolishing our most valuable laws,
and altering fundamentally, the
forms of our governments."
We need to reflect on Article X of
the Bill of Rights in the American
Constitution:
"The powers not delegated to the
United States by the Constitution,
NOR PROHIBITED BY IT TO THE
STATES, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people.
DAIRY PRODUCTION
PAYMENTS SET
The p ii id July 1 through August
.'11 hall be considered as one pay-
ment period for making dairy p'o-
«'t■ t1 n payments and application*
for nr.yir.' nt may he filed with the
\ A A committee for this period be-
■ : 'ing September 1, according to Lee
1. Alexander. Chairman, Bastrop
County A. C. A. Committee.
Producers have until September 1
to file applications for payment for
the period May 1 through June 30.
Payment will be made at the rates
of 45 cents per hundred weight for
whole milk and six cents per pound
for butterfat.
Elements that might contribute to
inflation continue to be seen at the
end of the second quarter of this
year as compared to the end of the
same period last year, according to
data made available by the Bureau
of Agriculturr.l Economics. Demand
deposits in Country Banks, consist-
ing largely of checking accounts,
were tip per cent—an increase
partly accounted for by large de-
posits of Government funds. These
checking accounts would be infla-
tionary if used to bid up the price
o" land and scarce goods. Another
inflationary sign is thi t average per
acre value of Farm Real Estate as of
July 1 was up 15 per cent over a
year ago. For the quarter, cash re-
ceipts from Farm marketings were
up six per cent over a year ago and
prices paid hv Farmers for the
things they buy- -including interest
and taxes were up five per cent.
The only non-inflationary factor,
more than offset by increased re-
ceipts from Farm marketings, was a
decline of one per cent in prices
received by Farmers.
