Get Your Car Stamp
Before July 1st
■ The stamps will be serially
numbered, will be gummed on the
face, and will have provision on
the back for entry of the make,
model, serial number and Stute
license number of the vehicle.
To guard against loss'or theft,
dampen the windshield rather
than the adhesive side of the
stamp. Make a record of the seri-
al number which appears on the
use tax stamp in the event the
stamp should become lost.
Every owner of a motor vehicle
which is used upon the highways
should call at his local postoffice
or at ther office of the Internal
Revenue Collector and secure a
$5.00 use tax stamp and affix it
to his vehicle on or before July 1,
1943, for cash only, no mail order
business.
Place conspicuously on the
windshield.
Violators are subject to severe
penalties.
This is only one of the many
duties added to our post office
work. Have the extra amount
ready.
Other ways to cooperate now
with the heavy mailing and the
other many added duties are—
rent a box and pay rent prompt-
ly. Buy stamps and post-
cards, etc., in large amounts. Call
general delivery as few times as
possible. Be kind and patient,
in all dealings. It is the employ-
ees’ desire to serve you and they
can do it more efficiently with
' your cooperation.
American Legion
The first objective of the Amer-
ican Legion is to take care of our
disabled and sick comrades. We
now realize that our responsibili-
ty to our disabled comrades along
thp lines of rehabilitation is
greatef than ever before in the
history of the American Legion.
A series of rehabilitation school
of instruction are now being con-
ducted at each district convention
of the American Legion through-
out the state, in order to enlight-
en,Post Service Officers and oth-
er members of the American Le-
gion on the new veterans’ regula-
tions pertaining to World War II
veterans and their dependents.
The Department Rehabilitation
Committee of the American Le-
gion and the Veterans’ State Ser-
vice Office are supervising the re-
habilitation school of instructions
being conducted in different sec-
tions of the state.
The National Rehabilitation
Committee of the American Le-
gion is now working with the Vet-
erans’ Administration on a new
proposed rating schedule, which
will be beneficial to the new group
of veterans and their dependents.
The aim of the American Legion
is to see that the returning disa
bled comrades are properly reha-
bilitated so they may assume
their normal sphere in life as
nearly as possible, and to find
their proper place in society.
Peyton S. Jones,
Post Service Officer.
Postal Unit Numbering Junior Red Cross
System, In Cities
—o—•
In order to permit the distribu-
tion of- incoming mail by inexpe-
rienced clerks, who do not have
a thorough working knowledge of
primary distribution schemes cer-
tain of the largest cities in the
United States have been divided
into postal units. The number of
each unit will become a part of
he address, as,
Mr. John C. White,
1157 Jefferson Ave.,
Houston, 12, Texas.
Patrons should learn the Postal
Unit Numbers of those with
whom they correspond and in-
clude it as part of the address. To
do this will speed up the separa-
tion of mail for distribution and
permit a much more rapd hand-
ling by inexperienced postal
clerks, thousands of whom have
been employed to replace per-
sonnel who have gone into the
armed forces. P. M.

Nursing Course
—0—•
The Red Cross invites girls of
the 8th, 9th, 10th and lltli grades
of school to participate in the
Junior Red Cross six weeks Home
Nursing course, to begin Mon-
day, June 21, at the high school
home economics department.
Classes will meet each Monday
and Wednesday from 10 a. m. to
12 o’clock.
The public school of Jacksboro
will give one-half credit toward
high school graduation for stu-
dents of freshmon or higher
classification. This junior nurs-
ing course gives attention to ac-
tivities that will be immediately
useful to students in their per-
sonal development and home life.
Many girls who take the course
become interested in preparing
themselves to enter the nursing
profession. This is an opportu-
nity presented to the girls of
Jacksboro, and the Red Cross
urges that parents have their
children take advantage of this
privilege. The purchase of a 60-
cent text book is the only ex-
expense of the course.
Any information desired con-
cerning these classes may be had
by calling Mrs. E. C. Richards,
phone 217J.

Don’t anyone think we may
have too many women at once.
If we have thirty women three
times a week, it will take a
work is very sim-»

to bring a fresh house dress.
We want to thank the Memo-

and it is much cooler.
Our boys are getting ready to
free Europe of its white slavery.
Let’s help them do it!
Right now folding surgical
dressings is the only war relief
work we have on hand, and we
must speed it up. We all want
to help win the war and don’t
want our boys to die from our
neglect.
There are some women here
who have watched our Red Cross

Mrs. M. A. Howeth
Mrs. Martha Anne Howeth
passed away June 5th, at the
home of her son, R. A. Howeth, at
Stephenviile, and was buried at
Mineral Wells, June 6th, 1943.
She, with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Vanhooser, settled in Jack
County in 1855.
The Vanhooser family had a
very rough trip on the way here.
A bad norther struck them, they
could not find anything to make
a fire, but a man came along, and
as was the pioneer custom, took
them to his home for the night
On the way they camped in the
Indian Territory and the Indians
stole their mules. On the farm
Martha Anne helped her father
with the oxen. She carded, spun,
and wove material for their cloth-
ing. Of course they cooked on
the fireplace. They lived a long
way from anyone, and when
church services were held they
were in the people’s homes. Mar-
tha Anne did not go to school, and
her father taught her at home. At
sixteen she was converted and
joined the church, and at eighteen
she was married and in time she
became the mother of eleven
children.
During the Civil War they en-
dured many hardships, but raised
what was needed, and had a gran-
ary full of wheat and plenty of
hogs and cows. At that time the
Indians were so bad, the settlers
never knew at night ivhetlier
they would live to see the rising
sun. Horses could not be kept be-
cause of the Indians stealing them.
At one time a horse tied to the
door-facing was taken and in
camp one that was tied to a wag-
on wheel was taken.
Survivors are, sons: C. A.
Johnson, Gale; Bennie Gonzales
and Tom Howeth, Mineral Wells,
and R. A. Howeth, Stephenviile.
Daughters: Mrs. V. Smith, Taho-
ko; Ellen Smith, Antelope. Mrs.
John M. Smith and I. Howeth,
deceased, were also her children.
Other survivors include a large
number of grand- great-grand-
and greal -great-grand-children.
