Gas, Food Panels
Curtail Meetings
For a number of months, it
has been the custom of the
panels of the Nolan County War
Price and Rationing Board to
meet two nights each week in or-
der to consider and pass on appli-
cations.
However, in the future the
gasoline panel and the food pan
el will meet one night only each
week. These panels will meet
each Monday night at 8 p. m.
The public is advised to keep
this change in mind, said Mar-
shall H. Prior, chairman, when
applying for gasoline, stoves,
boots, food, etc.
The tire panel will meet as us-
ual on Monday and Thursday
nights ofeach week. Work for the
tire- panel continues to be heavy
since tho monthly quota has not
been lifted but the needs of the
public are greatly increased.
it is the problem of the tire
panel to see that the few tires
in the county quota are given to
the most essential users. This
takes a great amount of thought
arid consideration. Applications
for tires average about 1,000 each
month and each application is
-carefully studied before it is ap-
proved.
The price panel meets Monday
nights and at frequent called
meetings.
"Men on these various panels
have given many hours of their
time to this work, serving with-
out pay from a patriotic stand-
point and a desire to see that the
residents of Nolan county are
treated justly and fairly", said
Mr. Prior.

NEW ROCKET LAUNCHER
WATERVLIET, N. Y. (UP)—
(UP) — The army ordnance de-
partment has developed a new
rocket launcher, the M-12, de-
signed to fire a projectile against
all types of ground targets.
Larger than a bazooka —with
a harder punch and much great-
er range— the launcher weighs
22 pounds. The rocket weighs
more than 3-S pounds and sev-
eral launchers can be fired sim-
multaneously by remote con-
trol.
The launcher can be carried by
one man and is mounted on a
hinged tripod arrangement, two
legs of which are fixed, the
third leg being adjustable.
Newborn babies of piosonous
snakes are miniature of their
parents, complete with fangs and
poison.

DEPARTMENT 8TORE, Ltd.,
U. of T. Controversy
To Be Aired
\t Later Date
HOUSTON CUP) — Recogniz-
ing ror the first time that "dlf-
f rences exist between the reg-
ents and Dr. Rainey,", John H.
Bickett, chairman of the regents
board, accepted the proposal of
compromise meetings. Date of
he meetings was not set.
Throughout, the controversy,
which -recently rocketed to top
attention in national education-
al circles, none of the regents
has recognized the dispute as
such. Until yesterday, in the
closing session of their two-day
meeting, the regents have main-
tained a strict silence on the
matter.
Another phase of the Univer-
sity's internal difficulty, involv-
ing the discharge of three eco-
nomics professors because of
their view.< on sit-down strikes,
was believed ironed out last
night when high-ranking offi
cials of the American Associa-
tion of University Professors
told the regents they should be
re-hired.
Accepting the proposal of
meetings between the regents
and the three-man faculty com
mittee, Bickett said— and we
quote — "the regents are glad
to follow the suggestions for
conferences or a series of con-
ferences with the faculty com
mittee."
In his compromise offer Dun-
calf hjt when he called "near
sightedness of the regents, but
said his committee is taking an
objective view" of the contro-
versy.
"Some of you regents are so
close to what you are doing,
you can't see beyond the end
of your nose," he said.
"The president has a more dif-
ficult task in getting along with
the board of regents than in
getting along with 400 faculty
members."
Declaring the faculty of the
University is conservative, "too
conservative," Duncalf said the
faculty board does not "really
know what the differences are."
"We are not going to take
sides," he said.

Inside' Tilburg — a city of
100,000 inhabitants — Scottish
troops are clearing out remain-
ing pockets of Nazi resistance.
Other Empire forces have sur-
rounded the city.
But the Allied drive Isn't
a pushover. The Germans
are fighting back fiercely
on the east side of the Brit-
ish corridor Into the Neth-
erlands. The enemy has
thrown reserve tanks and
troops into counter-attacks
which have captured an In-
habited locality. But Supre-
me Headquarters says the
attacks have been checked.
The Nazis may be putting up
this last-ditch stand because
they dread the consequences of
their war crimes in Holland.
Dispatches from the Netherlands
tell how the Germans burned
and executed some 13,000 per-
sons at a notorious concentra-
tion camp recently seized by the
British. More than 35,000 Dutch
arc reported to have been im-
prisoned there at one time.
Three thousand are said to
have been shot between June
and September of this year
alone.
Elsewhere on the western
front, the ground action has
been local and light.
Allied planes are over
Western Germany, but there
have been no reports on the
raids as yet.
In Northern Italy, rains
have bogged down the An-
glo-American drive on Bolog-
na.
An interesting story on the
new Spanish revolution comes
out of London. British reports
say Spanish Maquis units have
beaten back General Franco's at-
tempts to recapture a village
near the French border. The an-
tl-Franco guerrilla fighters are
said to have control of 11 vil-
lages on the northern slopes, of
the Pyrennes.
The annual custom of crown-
ing a high school queen of Yuc-
ca Gloriosa will take place at 8
p. m., Nov. 17 at the school aud-
itorium when one of three nom-
inees, Pat Malone, senior, Ce-
cile Ragland, Jr Junior and Patsy
Mercer, sophomore, will be pub-
licly identified queen in a
beautiful turmal coronation cere-
monial.
The queen will reign amid a
pastel and star-dust setting und-
er direction of Mrs. Rufus Walk-
er, sponsor. The presidents of
each club and organization in
the school will also be present-
ed with their escorts.
The crown will be worn by
the nominee receiving most
votes from a popular ballot tak-
en in the school.
Each class chose its candi-
dates for queen and two duch-
esses Sept. 28 at sessions held
early in the school term. Senior
duchesses are Mary. Beth Butler
and Betty Sue Curry; junior
duchesses are Pat King and Bo-
bve Blake. Mary Hartgraves
and Elaine Halbert are sopho-
more duchesses.
Jo Ann Brann will play the
processional for the coronation.
Music for the brilliant spectacle
will be furnished by the music
department under direction of
Christine Shannon.
Stage arrangement will be
under the personal direction of
Mrs. Ed Mays. Yucca staff mem-
bers will assist. Dorr Hampton,
junior, will build stage proper-
ties.
