II. II. Mitchell, <15, died in Camer-
on Hospital at 9:30 a.tn., Monday,
March 25 as the result of injuries
sustained in a fail at Ben Arnold last
Friday.
Mr. Mitchell was given a number
of blood transfusions in an effort to
save his life.
Mr. Mitchell moved to Cameron 14
years ago from McGregor and had
been employed by the R. L. Batte
interests here, the major portion of
the time with the Cameron Cotton
Oil Company.
Funeral services were pending.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Alice
Mitchell, three daughters, Mrs. R. P.
Williams, Cameron; Mrs. Ollie Curd,
Brownwood; Mrs. Faye Hitt of Cor-
pus Christi; and two sons, Fred Mit-
chell, Houston and Walter Mitchell

field and Charles A. Mitchell of
Greenville. Nine grandchildren also

In the era in which cotton was the
mainstay of the south’s economic
system, Milam county was an aver
age large producer. A 20-year aver-
age in that period was 56,000 hales.
In 1920 the largest crop on record
was 80,000 hale*. *
Happier days have come to the
farms generally over Milam county
because there are other engagements,
principally live stock and poultry.
The cotton area of Milam county has
gone largely to live stock and to
poultry and the result has been bet-
ter farm incomes. There is no deny-
ing however, the government pro-
gram, plus labor shortages, have
caused the collapse of cotton fann-
ing. Until such time as (he land own-
er can compete in the labor market
we will not see cotton revived.
The current report by Jess Thomp-
son, statistician for the Department
of Commerce shows that there were
I only 17,815 bales of cotton ginned in
| Milam county through March 1, 1946
i as compared to 16,936 bales for the
crop of 1944 through the same period.
Cotton Chop insurance and other
| government aids to production must
| be relied upon to keep the cotton
1 farmer in the field with his industry
j until such time as conditions war-
rant his full participation in the
world’s cotton growing.

U. S. statistics snow that more

man, appealed for support of the
Milam county Child Welfare Board''
drive to sell $000,000 worth of seals
In re this yeai Each seal will bring
the community a little closer to its
l <>nl of giving every crippled child a
chance for a useful life.
“Needs of crippled children, togeth
ei with the needs of adult* injured
in combat or through industry, make
a wholehearted support of the an-
nual Easter Seal Sale of the Milam
county organization doubly important
this year,” said Mrs. Stidham in urg-
ing public cooperation in the seal
sale which opened March 21 and con-
tinue* until Easter Sunday to finance
the program of aid to the crippled
children and physically handicapped
adults of Milam county.
“With over a third of a million
crippled children registered in our
nation, with about seven million
adults crippled by accident or di s-
ease and one hundred thousand new
ones added each year, and with be-
tween fourteen and fifteen thousand
amputees returned to civilian life, we
get an overaoll picture of the great
group of citizens who need the spec-
ial services which the city, county,
state and national group of affiliated
Societies are bringing to the crippled
of our nation.”
Mrs. Stidham named as member* of
her committee: Mrs. John T. Hale,
Rockdale, Mrs. G. M. Sessions, Rock-
dale, Mrs. Carl Black, Cameron, Mrs.
J. E. Johnson, Cameron and Mrs.

GI SCHOOL IS FACING
SIZEABLE HURDLES HERE
The proposed G. I. school in
Cameron was facing some sizeable
hurdles and had not yet been or-
ganized although charter had been
granted in Austin.
Superintendent (’has. M. Hicks said
that recent ’regulations ami some
older restrictions had placed prob-
lems in the way that while it is
hoped they can lie overcome, may
make the operation of the school
impossible.
Mr. Hicks was very regretful over
the turn of events. No service man
can draw compensation from the gov-
ernment and attend this school if he is
v. holly employed. Some who wished to
attend school while holding jobs can-
not do so because there will he no
night classes except for the agricul-
tural courses.
Mr. Hicks said that a plan may lie
worked out but there seems to he no
Mr. liause was married to Louise I way at present to overcome the em-

There has been considerable in-

The schools are under the super-

problem imposed by the cessation of
