A HMI STICK DAY passed quietly in Albany.
Some of our Htores closcil, together with tin* I' if '
National Hunk, post office and court hou . r. Mans
took advantage of an opportunity to visit relative
in other towns before gasoline rationing heronn
fact. Closest celebration, in reineinbi'ance ot
anniversary of the signing ol the Arini.-tice
held at Abilene, where a regiment from <
I
s a
the
was
imp
Barkeley,und the American Legion po-t. o! that city
re
<lay
r-
took part in a parade. The (lovernment hail
quested that essential industries not take tin
off ho that production would go forward
rupted.
The first war-time Armistice Day found Ameri-
can forces in action around the world, meeting
with spectacular successes, which has done more to
give Americans heart, and confidence, than any
thing since Pearl Harbor almost a year ago. 1 he
hoys on the «front can well know that civilian a*
home are working, even on holidays, to produce the
tools of war necessary to win the war.
Registration for gasoline rationing ha* been
postQ>onc*d a week in I exan. I his means that
Shackelford county people will go to the
school* Thursday, Iritlav and Saturday of next
week to register instead of this week Date of
rationing has been set for December 1st. After
that date there will be more walking and fewer
trips out of town than Albany people have been
accustomed to for a generation or so.
Uncle Sam in going to take your extra tires
Before you can get a rationin.; I> >ok, you must
sell to the tiovei nmen ail tires more than five
in your possession.
Uncle Sam i making u ■
ranchmen will continue to p *«

Reren'.ly men on
farms and ranches svore ordeun1 u lenvil trom mil
itary service if their work • eutial to the larin
or ranch where they work. It i r adily seen that
this affects a great eetion <>' the men of Shack*
ford county. Out ide < I the town, of Albans am:
Moran, practically every man i ongavrd, more or
less, in the production of cattle, crop . or the ■
sential crude oil that keeps our motorized division
rolling. It seems now that mo t of Siiacke! I orii
county's Selective Service quota W'H bt a ade a a
from IS and 1!' year old boy.-, and men in the tsvo
towns of the county who aiv not connected wit
the ranching and farming industry.
Before the end of I'.MM, the Pre ident e tin,.ite
there will be nearly 10,000,000 men n our armed
forces, with 7,500,000 in the \rniy. Ti e was we
figure it is: about a third more men ".vail be called
up during the next 12 month than have aire.ids • '
tered the Army, Navy and Marine Corp .
JUDGE W. W. (Bill) BLANTON, Shackel-
ford county's very able judge who wu reelect-
ed last summer to serve two more years, has
resigned to enter the Army. Judge Blanton's
resignation will become effective after the
county audit, which begins soon. The commis-
sioners' court requested that Judge Blanton
not resign until after January 1st.
To succeed Judge Blanton, the court selected
G. B. King, Albany lawyer for many yeari and
a director of the State Bar. Judge King, a
son of a former county judge of this county,
in a splendid choice, and will serve the county
fairly and impartially.
Good luck, Bill.
Last week this column reported that Floyd C.
Pool, Moran banker, had purcha ed the l.essi Wat-
ers tract of land northwe t of \lhany, and that he
now oss n.- the property formerly belonging to that
staunch old pioneer cattleman, Col. (i. I*!. Waters.
We are reminded that Mr. I'ool owns all except a
fine tract belonging to Men Waters, which lies on
Deep Creek west of Moran. Incidentally Hen has
one of the best farm, in the county, and can pro
duce more wheat year after year than anyone we
knosv. One of the first remembrance we have of
Col. Water wa when he took us out to the place
now owned by Hen to show u. the very pretty field
of wheat. He was proud of it and had a right to
be.
Recently the Albany Ness carried an article from
the Southwestern Hi torical Quarterly) and was
given a mention for doing so in the October i sue
which leads:
The Albany New* ("The Oldest Journalistic
Venture Went of the Brazos") for September
10, carried a complete reprint of Charlie Jef-
ifrie*' "The Light of the Alamo," from the July
Quarterly with the following comment: "Thin
article was handed The New* by a local member
of the Texas State Historical Association. It
proved so timely that it is being reproduced."
Located in the shadow of obi Fort Griffin,
The Albany New* has long been known to the
Association for it* sensitivenes* to the history
of Texan and its own locale.

Tin- eompuny underwent smoth-
er inspection thi.s week hy Major
O. H. Hryant of Abilene, attached
to the state Adjutant General's
Department, lie was accompani-
ed by Lieutenant Agee of the T.
I), (i. in Abilene.
For the second uccessive week,
fifty one officers and men were
present. The company a -embled
at the armory at 7 :!i() and march
ed to the drill field where reports
were made t<> Captain Harris, un
del the supervision of the visiting
} officer . Open ranks were then
j given and each individual wa in
pert ed. Major Hryant then ask-
ed the platoon commanders to
take charge for special formation
and instructions-.
At 111 i point of our in -peel ion,
a norther blew up, accompanied b>
rain; so the company wa.i ordered
di, mi sod from the drill field and
to rea- emble in the armory. No
lime was lost in jjottinu I" hello
with the cold wind and rain lor

Major Hryant gave a talk on the
i forming and u.-e ot pat rol - and
then iruard duty, after the com
I pany a.-.-ieinbled in the armory
The Major an -wered que-tion of
the men and officer
('ofTee and cookie were erved
at the close of the meeting.
The importance of attendance
at each meeting cannot he tri-
ed too strongly. Kach time an of-
ficer or man misses a drill period,
j the work that those present have
j learned and practiced has to be
| taught to that officer or man be
! fore ibe company can become el
S licient in that particular operation.

3. More than 20 different opera-
tions arc performed in bringing a
nasal Run to bear on its target.
Elect; icity helps to co-ordinate
these operations.
4. When a battleship goes into
action, electricity helps direct the
ship, operate the guns, and give the
orders. G.E. is building equipment
to do these jobs.
General Electric believes that its first duty as a
good citizen is to be a good soldier.
