Plans for construction of a $30,t
000 Cold Storage Locker plant to
be built on Second street, just
north of Green Avenue, were an-
nounced here Friday by Fred
Noel of Port Arthur, who will be
in charge of the hew concern.
Bids are being received now for
construction of the Hollow tile
building which will be started in
about ten days and will be com-
pleted ready for use in about two
months, Noel said.
The building will have space
for 300 lockers which will be a-
' vailable for an annual rental fee
of $10 and $12 50, making some
of the lockers cost less than $1
per month.
Under the cold storage locker
system, both farmers and town
folks may enjoy fresh meats,
fruits and vegetables the year a-
round. according to Noel who ex-
plained that the farmer can have
his own livestock slaughtered and
town folks may purchase the meat
at the plant-
A total of 110 of these cold
storage locker plants are already
in operation in Texas, Noel said-
„ In making preparations for in-
stallation of the plant in Orange,
Mr. Noel has conferred frequent-
ly during the past few months
wtih officials ol the Orange
Chamber of Commerce through
W. A. McNeill, secretary-mana-
ger.

Pilots To Support
National Defense
Bond Drive
Opening the Twentieth Anni-
versary Celebration of the found-
ing of Pilot Club International,
Mrs. Etha G: Hali,' President,
Greensboro, N. C-, announced to-
day that a 20-day goal has been
set for the buying of Defense Sav-
ings Bonds 100 per cent by eveiy
Pilot member throughout the
country. y
"In addition to the aid already
being given by individual clubs
to National Defense, a very defi-
nite contribution which each of
us can make is to "BUY A SHARE
IN AMERICA." said Mrs. Hall.
"Every dollar invested in United
States Defense Savings Bonds
adds to the safety and security of
America. It is unnecessary, I
take it, to attempt to explain to
business and professional women
the value of sound investment. In
this connection, I merely point, out
that the full faith and credit of
the United States Government i?>
pledged for payment of both
principal and interest on these
Savings Bonds, and I urge each
Pilot to invest a portion of her
personal funds to help preserve
nfctr American Way of Life."
Members of the Orange club
will assist Pilot International in
reaching this goal of 100 per cent.

Editor, Texas Surveys of Public
Opinion
AUSTIN, August 0. — While
Texas men of draft age are divid-
ed on the advisability of extend-
ing the length of military service,
state-wide public opinion is 71
per cent behind President Roose-
velt.
Interviews taken in every part
of the state by Texas Surveys of
Public Opinion add up to the fact
that people in Texas favor longer
training for the. draft ajmx in
substantially larger numbers than
the nation as a whole- One of
the latest national polls on the
issue now before Congress indi-
cated 53 per cent in favor. Texas,
according to the state survey, is
even more convinced that an ex-
tended draft is needed than arc
the southern states as a unit,
which have been shown 03 per
cent on the affirmative^ leading all
sections of the country-
Senator W. Lee O'Daniel in his
vote against extension, therefore,
is not in step with his State's trend
of pubiic will. O'Daniel's oppo-
sition, voiced in his maiden speech
in the Senate this week, was bas-
ed on the contention that to keep
the men in the army longer than
a year would be breaking faith
with them- In this reasoning he
agrees with those in the 20 per
cenUminoftty in Texas, most of
whom object on the identical
grounds.
Representatives of the people
may, indeed, often act in complete
opposition and still be exercising
better Judgment than the entire
rank and file. Certainly they
have been given the right to vote
as they believe wisest, along with
or against the current of public
opinion.
The modern public opinion sur-
vey, conducted impartially and
chapter received a call Saturday with- reliable statistical meinod,

perior articulation of the people's
mind than dclegtaions of interest-
ed groups, deluges of telegrams,
or Congressmen's mail, which
dochv not represent these constit-
uents . who never bother to write.
The new polls are not being guid-
ed toward destruction of the rep-
resentative method; they are de-
signed as a refinement of govern-
ment by the people.
The onl appreciable difference
canvassing was the discrepancy in
for-or-against sentimeht among
people below the age of 2ft, which
includes men 21 to 27, whoxare
today eligible for the draft. Evei
ly split, five out of every ten ap-
prove of the administration's
moves to keep the civilian army
intact, while at least seven out of
every ten among older persons
approve. This differentiaT is
shown in the age breakdowns be-
low.

were asked, 'that it is necessary
at this time to hold drafted men
in service longer than a year?"
