pBrw.'Mol to hire male workers with-
■M r ; I a) by the United States Em-
plBjrmcnt Service under authority of
Ama Director of the War Manpower
fjliiiiiii inn and the Temple Area
Labor-Management Committee. This
WMtitutes a special arrangement un-
An- she Priority Referral Program
#f tfu Wai Manpower Commission,
wtriei: goes into effect at midnight,
Jane SO. R. C. Moody, local manager
«f the U. S. Employment Service,
aatil and it is subject to change if
aperating experience and national
■Mapower needs dictate.
No local office of the United States
Employment Service is located in
Milan; County, he said, and undue
towtifiij would be imposed upon
wnrtf «if they were required to make
a trip to Temple to secure a job.
It was emphatically pointed out,
kwever, that while these arrange-
■cwts permitted a worker to seek em-
pLoyn>-nt within the county without
kavir g t< be channelled through the
Employment Service, that the Em-
ghiym • at Stabilization regulations
w” still in effect and that any
wort. n now employed or employed
Aaring the preceding 60 day period in
an essential industry could not be
Urea except upon referral by the
States Employment Service
®r upon presentation of a Statement
»f Availability. R. C. Moody states
that while workers would not be re-
isuinvj to go through the USES when
seeking a job inside the couhty that
they should understand that(no such
arrangement exists in counties in
which an office of the USES was lo-
cated and that in those counties no
employer should hire a male worker
except upon referral of the USES.
One of the objectives of the Priori-
ty Referral Program is to keep es-
sential workers on their present jobs,
he continued, and he urgently request,
ed less-essential employers to refrain
from hiring essential workers point-
ing out that such practice was in vio-
lation of the Stabilization Plan and
could, if aWowed to reach proportions
detrimental to the war effort by a
reason for remanding the arrange-
ment on the Priority Referral Pro-
gram in Milam County.
No restriction whatever has been
placed on agricultural workers, so
long as they remain in agricultural
wor, he said.

GRASS GROWS
THROUGH TOMATO
Clarence Coats has brought to The
Herald a large, ripe tomato through
which Bermuda grass is growing.
This is unusual and there has been no
accounting for the manner in which
the grass grew through the tomato.
On the top of the tomato the grass
shoot is green. When plucked long
grass roots stemmed away from the
tomato.
V. B. Ross of Buckholts was
Cameron on business Friday.

Back the attack with Bonds!
BOWERS
(continued from page one)
new laws will be necessary to help
rebuild our men and nation; the G. I.
BILL OF RIGHTS just passed by
Congress and signed by the President
will require our best efforts.
I favor the local option method of
handling the liquor question; we have
that now, and the only thing re-
quired is to back the State Liquor
Board in the enforcement of the
present law; this I will do.
I favor paying the old age assis-
tance and stop harassing our old peo-
ple; one month they are on the next
month they are off; they spend so
much time and worry going to see
the supervisors, and having them
come to see them; why all this worry
for our old people; I am strictly
against the present way of handling
it.
I favor good primary schools of S
grades in every school district; I
favor good respectable buses; some
of them on the roads are a disgrace
to Texas and dangerous for our chil-
dren; a good school close to home for
small children must be maintained.
Good salaries for teachers will make
the teaching profession attractive to
good men and women.
I favor free text books- for all
schools, public, private and parochal;
all children should be taught out of
same books, and all people pay taxes
into the free text book fund.
I favor a new Primary Election
Law in place of the one the Supreme
Court of the United States has struck
down. I see in the Giddings News
just this week where an organization
of the negroes is sounding out the
local candidates as to whether they
favor it, and claiming 700 votes in
Lee County. In 1867, our people
marched between Federal Soldiers to
vote, and many negroes were elected
to office, and they continued to elect
them until around 1900, when the
“WHITE MAN’S PRIMARY” was
organized, and we have had little
trouble until now. I do not believe
any negro is a Democrat, he is being
agitated by Northern Negro Haters
(who are posing as the friends to the
Negro.) I wan’t the Negro to have
his place in our country and give him
everything possible for his advance-
ment and happiness but, I am in favor
of White Supremacy; and against so-
cial equality; we must preserve these
rights, and as for me I do not want
their votes in this primary and I
notify them now th#t. if I am elected
the law will be fixed so as to keep
down this mce trouble. Ws do not
want the return of the carpet-bag-
gers and scalawags, and will try to
do it by law, and not by return of the
Ku Klux Klan, as it had to be done in
1867 to 1880. It is going to take an
old, red-blooded, born in the south,
he man to do this work and You had
as well vote for me to help do it; I
was botn in 1873 and know the ins
ami outs of those things.
Thousands of good men have given
up their jobs; have either sold their
business, or, they aie letting *ho wife,
father or other relatives keep the
work going; a son in law of mine gave
up a $300 per month job; he is 33;
the Western Auto Man at Caldwell
over 30 left his store in hands of
his wife and is in the Navy; you see
them every where in every town.
I do not think I should be required
to campaign; I would like to have
cards or letters from supporters; I
will appreciate any good word or
work any citizen will give me. I feel
like my age, experience and patrio-
tism will enable me to do real effec-
tive service the next two years; and in
case any returning veteran wants the
place, I will not run for a second
term. I believe this statement will
do good in this district whether I am
elected or not. It won’t be any dis-
grace to be#lefeatod, if I can en-
courage my opponent to stand fast
and advocate and put into effect the
above suggestions.
Respectfully,
R. S. BOWERS,
Caldwell, Texas, i
GERMANS PRESSED
INTO DEATH POCKET
Remnants of the once powerful
army defending Cherbourg and the
Normandy peninsula in France were
being wiped out in bloody action
that saw house to house fighting and
the American in possession of one
third of the city.
The Germans have conceded the loss
of the great French Port of Cher-
bourg to the Allies.
All that remained of the German
force were being driven into a nar-
row'portion of the city and there was
no evidence of a surrender. The
Germans -were fighting to the last
man, having refused another ulti-
matum to surrender.
Monday morning 4500 German pri-
soners were taken. In all over 20
thousand prisoners have been taken
by the Allies.
The Germans were being bombard-
ed from the sea and from shore bat-
teries and bombed from the air.
Hand to hand fighting was going on
in the streets of the city.
The powerful Red army was breach-
ing the German defenses on a 220
mile front as the great offensive
opened Monday on a grand scale.
Vitebsk, bastion of German defense
on the White Russian front, fell early
to the Red army. Its capture was re
ported imminent on Sunday. Five
German divisions, some 60 thousand
men, are surrounded and are facing
death or capture.
The robot rocket planes were spill-
ing on English soil in increasing
number. Bad weather was impeding
efforts to combat the new weapon.
Allied airmen shot down 25 Ger-
man planes in operations over Ger-
man held territory. We lost 9 planes.
Hon. Kyle *Vick of Waco, 5?tatfe
Senator for the 13th District, spent
the night in Cameron Tuesday and
was a guest of B. F. Reichert, pub-
lisher of the Cameron Enterprise, at
the Ladies Night program for the
Lions Club here. Senator Vick spent
the day Tuesday in other parts of the
county. At noon Wednesday he was
a guest of the Cameron Rotary.

YOUR
Invasion
From General Bradley, leading Ihe
Invasion ground forces, right through
every rank, American men now face a
brutal, desperate, able enemy. For this
invasion has only begun—before our
fighters lies a hard and bloody task, one
that demands all their courage, backed
by all your faith in their utilniate victory.
That faith will be tested many times
in this invasion—in grim struggles, set-
backs, possibly even temporary defeats.
It will be up to you to remember that
early victories unsually only mean more
savage opposition from a foe made more
bitter, more ruthless as the shadow of
his doom grows larger—up to you to
keep that faith in days and nights of
gloom as well as in hours of triumph.
There is little that you can do to show
that you realize what they must face,
perhaps for many months. But one
thing you can do—back the attack with
every dollar you can spare! Let the
Bonds you buy in this greatest of Drives
be the measure of your belief in their
ultimate victory. .
