ALBANY PEOPLE will «Udl, contribute to
Om War CKmI Fund, as this gives ut an oppor-
tunity to help many nable cause*. First, the
SMtHkutisni will help the USO—nearly 50 per-
eMt •( the amount going to this organisation.
Just what good the USO does can be seen in Al-
War, where a splendid lounge is kept open for
service men visiting our city. That this lounge
to appreciated by the men in service is atteited
Is by a letter received recently from a soldier's
methsr, in a Northern state, thanking the ladies
eka serve as hostesses, and enclosed in the let-
lar wee $1.00 to help carry on the work of the
USO. The lady's son had visited the Albany
lsss|i and had written her about it.
Much of the money contributed to the War
Chest will go to American boys in prison camps
ha Germany and Japan. That alone will be
worth every penny we give. Refugees, seamen,
mi others will he aided by the $125,000 that
is to he raised for this fund.
G. P. Crutchheld is War Chest chairman for
Ai county, and he is ably assisted by Vice-
Chairman A. M. Russ and a committee com-
pseeJ of leaders from every part of the county.
Incidentally, Mr. Crutchfield aays contribut-
or* will have to dig a little deeper in their
this year to raise the $3,420 quota
Shackelford county. There are going to
tort to be wme larger contributions, and a lot
•I $5.00 and $10.00 donations to raise this sum.
Shackelford county hat never fallen down on
SSy worthwhile program, and we are turr the
1043 War Cheat drive will be no exception.
When you are approached, give freely. It's a
worthy cauae.
MORK KQl'IPMENT ha- been received by the
Albany schools for the metal work- shop. Superin-
tendent C. R. IVown inc. Homer <\ Clayton, instruc-
tor, and Frank Faster went to Wichita Fall- Ki
day and brouirht hack a truck load of equipment,
gotten from a government school that had <lo-ed
at that place. The new equipment include one H',
inch lathe arid three 't-irn'h lathe-, a minder, an i
other equipment. This added to the etpiipn nit al-
ready on hand, the school ample ei|ti:pn rit
for the classes.
Daring the past several yea I hundred- of ho\-
have completed metal work com-r-at the -hop an i
Stepped into good jobs and many are in tin- are eii
services using the -kill they gained in the -hop. In
•MMsn to this, a number of da for older group-
of men were -ondueted, and the e men have gone
into war work. To our way of thinking these pr.i

FROM BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, conies a letter
from Ma* lllach that will interest his friends here:
"I want to take this opportunity to thank you ami
all of my friends in Shnckelforcl county for the
beautiful write-up in lust week's paper of the sale
of the Hlach ranch.
"We owned this body of land for sixty years and
have been very enthusiastic as to the outcome of
same. Have spent thousands of dollars and it ha.
been reported there have been drilled about 3.r>0
wells from MOO to -1,800 feet, and practically every
well has shown traces of oil and gas. I have never
lost faith in the possibility of opening up a big oil
field and still think there may be a big field opened
up on the Hlach ranch at some future date.
"I think Mr. I'itier and sons have made a wonder-
ful buy and no doubt they will develop this property
to the fullest extent.
"As you know, I located in Shackelford count)
some sixty years ago. I was given up by the best
physicians and remained there a number of years
before I discovered what my trouble was. I wa-
X-rayed and found to have tuberculosis, as there
was a scar on my lungs. 1 will be KN years old my
next birthday and hope to celebrate many, many
more.
"Here's wi.-hing you much success, and with be.-t
wishes and kind personal regards to you and all of
my friends, I remain,
"Sincerely yours.
"Max Hlach."

The writer has just read an in-
, teresting report on the findings of
I the School in Alcohol Studies
which met last summer at Yale
University. Leading scientists of
the nation took part in the studies
and a number of suggestive ques-
tions arising from the ulcohol prob-
lem were faced. Is the degenera-
tive effect of alcohol physiological
-or -ptiyehological?- Is alcohol a
true narcotic or an anesthetic?
What is the nature of habituation?
What is moderation and how great
is the danger of addiction when
such use of alcohol is attempted?
Of course, final answers to these
and many other questions were not
claimed but helpful contributions
were made to all of them.
First: Is the degenerative effect
of alcohol physiological or psycho-
logical? The question thu- stated
pre-supposes that alcohol produces
moral and phy-ical degeneration.
The scientist begins hi> study of
alcohol on this assumption. On
th physical side of the question
some very definite facts are known
to be true. Alcohol requires no
digestion and produces it- evil
effect- only after it is ab-orbed in-
to the blood stream. About half
of the alcohol i> absorbed directly
from the stomach. Hecau-c of this
fact the effects are quickly felt;
the maximum blood concentration
usually being reached within half
an hour. The remaining absorption
takes place later in the inte-tines,
thu- prolonging the effect Alcohol

which i< highly concentrated in
the blood, the brain and the body
fluids. The h gh tih-orbeiicy of the
blood protect- the tissues from
what would otherwise be .1 disas-
trous absorbtion. I>t Howard W.

After seeing all the front page
( space devoted 'n some of the met-
ropolitan dailies to the domestic
difficulties of the former heavy-
weight champion, it is refreshing
to pick up a typical home town
newspaper, such as this, and read
the wholesome news about worth-
while Texas people who are doing
clean, worthy things. One city
editor tried to defend himself by
saying that it wasn't he but the
Dempseys who did the things
chronicled. Maybe so, hut he didn't
have to print the stuff.
A story from the other World
War:
About to serve as sentry for the
first time, a colored soldier was be-
ing instructed by his lieutenant:
"If 'you see anything move, you
challenge and then you shoot; do
you understand?" Sam replied,
"Yes, suh, and vice versa." The of-
ficer asked, "What do you mean by
vice vcr.-a?" The darkey answer-
ed, "If something moves, 1 shoots;
if something shoots, I moves."
For some time, I've been intend-
ing to express my opinion of that
-ocailed new- commentator in the
North who wrote a slur on the
young ladies belonging to the
WAC. He reflected upon their
nonor and the result was that en
li-tments -lowed down. That is
what Hitler like.- to see. The rat
who wrote the -lander on Anieri
can womanhood had already been
handed an Iron Cross by the I'res-
der.i in recognition of previous
ei . ce that he had rendered

Where Is the Butter?
Armed Forces Get It
CHICAGO. — The question,
"Wheie is the butter?" constantly
; perplexes housewives as they
search from store to store for their
j customary palatable spread. Part
! of the answer lies in the demand
, that the armed forres are making
I for the products of the dairy in-
dustry.
Recognizing the importance of
'dairy products in maintaining the
health of the fighters, the Army
j insists on adequate supplies of
these precious foods. Colonel
Hohland A. Isker, Director, Quar-
termaster Coips, Subsistence Re-
i search laboratory of the U. S.
Army, states in the latest issue of
the National Dairy Council publi-
cation. "Nutrition News," that,
"the nutritive value of milk and
it- products is so well established
that their inclusion in the Army
ration is taken for granted. This
inclusion of milk and dairy pro
ducts in the Army dietary is an
essential phase of our program.
According to pre-enl ration basis,
in one year, 1,0(10,000 men in
camp in this country will consume
I K2.500.000 pounds of fresh milk.
, 2.*00.000 pound- of evaporated
! milk, 5,500,000 pound- of butter.
5,700,000 pound- of cheese and
2,000,000 gallons of ice cream."
In other word- a million men of
the armed force- n a year con-ume
dairy product requiring about
H00 million pounds of milk in their
praparation and manufacture.
That enouirh milk 1o make 42
million pound- of butter. So the

of thi .lin ed force- to better equin

All civilians may not get as much
as they want and some time* not
as much as nutritionists recom«

according to scientific authorities,
are in the greatest need of milk
should he supplied first. Children,
invalids, pregnant women and
nursing mothers are among those
groups whose need for milk ia
greatest."
