will be retained by the local chapter
for Red Cross aid here and of the
130,000 persons aided in continental
United States during the past fiscal
year, 14,000 lived in Texas.
Texas was one of 44 states in
which disaster relief operations were
conducted by the Red Cross last
year. The biggest disaster relief op-
eration of the year in this state oc-
curred late in July, 1938, when hea-
vy rains caused the Colorado river
and tributaries to overflow in
twelve western Texas counties. The
Red Cross spent $60,000 for emer-
gency relief and rehabilitation as-
sistance to 2,500 families.
held in New Orleans slaying
work. Applications may
made for NYA and CCC.
This change was brought about
by a split of the Texas Relief Com-
mission and Works Progress Admin-
istration in which the WPA refuses
to continue payment of salaries of
state supervisors. In the past, Miss
Leona Crossland, county case work-
er, has had the authority to accept
WPA workers applications, which in
turn were okayed by a state official,
but in the future Miss Crossland will
be unable to accept such applica-
tions.
Members of the Wheeler County
Commissioners Court wanted the
fact emphasized that it is not the
fault of the county organization
that WPA applications cannot be
accepted here, but was due to the
split between the state board and
the WPA officials.

BALM TO LOVELORN
SAN ANTONIO, (UP)—Patrol- ]
man M. J. Ellis says that giving ad-
vice to the lovelorn is not one of his
regular duties but he is proud of his |
recent effort in that line.
Investigating a report that a “sus- J
picious character” was in the neigh-
borhood, Ellis found a young man
seated on a curbstone, his head
resting dejectedly in his hands. The
youth said his girl had turned him
down.
Ellis offered a few remarks about
affection for the opposite sex, and
"surprisingly to me, the chap perked
up. thanked me and walked away.”
Tiie United States leads all other
countries in the trapping of fur-
bearing animals and in fur pro-
duction. It also imports more rare
and expensive furs than any other
country.
