NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT
Hamlin Here
Friday for Game
With Lions
The Hamlin Pied Pipers will
be here Friday night at H:00 to
play the Albany Lions in their an-
nual conference go, with the po-
tent Pied Pipers having the edge
of the statistics.
The Lions have had a week's
rest, as the Haskell game last Fri-
day was called off because of the
very had weather, and are in tip-
top condition to meet the Hamlin
eleven. As this promises to be a
good game, and as the season is
drawing to a close, it is expected
a big crowd of football fans will
be out to see this game.
Coach Smith announces his pro-
bable starting line-up will be as
follows:
Knils: Prannon and Capps.
ackles: Andres and Kdmison.
Guards: Meredith and Smalley.
nter: Cleveland.
Quarter: Minis.

.Ino. F. Sedwick, county War
Hond chairman, announced at the i
Chamber of Commerce meeting
Wednead ay that Shackelford coun-
ty oversubscribed its October bond i
quota by S8,000.00, which is an !
indication that this county is far
above the state in this respect. Mr.
Sedwick expects the county to go
' :over the top this month and in
December, to make it a complete
record for 1942.
The November quota, Mr. Sed- J
wick reported, is the tme as for

TICKETS GO ON SALE IN
WAR BOND, STAMP DRIVE
Russell K. McKiski, director of
the high school band, has been in-
formed by the Department of
Fducation that schools are being
requested to give Victory Con-
certs each month, instead of the
four concerts originally planned.
The first concerts, in cooperation
with war bond committees of the
various counties of the state, were
very successful, resulting in the
department requesting eight con-
certs rather than four.
The November Victory Concert
date was set for Thursday, the
Hith, and Mr. McKiski and his 36-
piece band will be ready with a
creditable program at the high
school auditorium.
Admission will bo by ticket,
which can be secured by purchas-
ing War Bonds and Stamps. These
tickets are on sale at the First
National Bank, the post office, at
the drug stores, and high school
students will also sell them.
May Hnvr Gumt Artist*
Two Camp Barkeley artists, a
violinist and a bass baritone
soloist, with their accompanist, are
being invited to appear on this
program. These soldiers were on
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce meeting in Abilene Tues-
day, and their performance was so
pleasing to the Albany group at-
tending the meeting that the men
have been requested to be guest
artist for the concert.
(in October 15, the first Vic-
y Concert resulted in the sale
of *7s:t.00 in bonds and stamps,
! and the school hopes to equal or
surpass this amount this month.
The concert will be well worth
your time and money, and you will
get your money back with inter-
est. More than H00 people at-
tended the concert in October.
Other concert dates revealed by
McKi ki will be: December 17.
January 21, February IS, March
18, April 15, and May 13.

r'ar Owners Must Fill
Out Forms Before
Registering for Gas
Shackelford county motorists,
registering for basic mileage ra-
tions at the school house registra-
nn sites on November li), 20 and
21 mu.-t take along their applica-
tion forms, listing ,-erial numbers
of their tires, and their car regis-
tration cards, the county war price
I rationing hoard announces.
\. M. litis-, chairman, announc-
tliat local school authorities
have arranged for registration to
take place in the Albanv and Mo-
ian schools, and possibly other
chools of the county, on the three
ays from 0 a. m. until 4 p. m.
" The application forms are now
mailable at service stations, gar-
iges and other conveniently locat-
plaees throughout the county
and should be picked up at once
by any owner of a passenger car
or .motorcycle who does not al-
readv have one," Mr. Uuss said.
"This form is simple. Most of
the information can he obtained
from the vehicle registration card.
The most important information
needed to fill out the application,
however, is the list of serial num-
bers on every tire which you or
any relative living in your house
own for that vehicle."
The serial numbers, Mr. Russ
warned, are the indented numbers
on the tire walls. They are not to
be confused with any raised num-
bers appearing on the tires. In
case the serial numbers have been
obliterated, otilv the branch name
of the tire need he listed.
The rationing board chairman
urged car owners with more than
five tires for each vehicle to dis-
pose of these excess tires at once,
