THE PRESS AGENT
By W.C.F.
Jack McOcrmitt, the wheel-
horse of the Lufkin Daily News,
must he a glutton for punish-
ment. In spite of labor shortage,
newsprint conservation and all
the red tape and restrictions we
face now, lie has taken over the
publication of the Nacogdoches
Sentinel.
Jack made acres of fri -nils in
Lufkin with his Chamber of
Commerce work and even tho he
has been publishing the News
now for several years, he hasn’t
lost many of them.
We wish him lots of luck as
publisher of the Sentinel -but,
next fall when Lufkin plays the
Nacogdoches team in their an
nual football classic, where’s
.lack gonna hide?
Individual Income: Tax form
No. 1040, and what a form it is.
has been the chief headache of
most of us this week.
One good friend said he was
sure sorry now he had not spent
more for advertising in the Press
the past year. Wondering wheth-
er he was thinking only of th-
deduction, he said, “for two
reasons" and continued that had
he spent more money for adver-
tising he could deduct it from
his return, and, maybe he’d hau
made* more money so as to be
better able to pay the bill.
And speaking of form No. 1040
I been wondering who assigned
that number to it. and if he ha i
a certain laxative we used to buy
by name of ‘ 10-'i0s’ in mind. In
either case, 1040 or 10-30, next
Monday is the dead line and we
hope to get our $3.7.') into Aus-
tin before the midnight train
runs.
County Auditor Hinson paid
this firm a high compliment the
other day. Sent us a check from
Jess Tullos instead of the famil-
iar warrant on the General fund
and asked us to cash any of the
warrants we might be holding.
Trouble is we’ve got none of
’em. Wish we did have some of
those we had to beg folks to
buy from us at six bits on the
dollar just a few years ago.
It's powerful nice to have the
county’s credit good and their
paper worth 100 cents on the
dollar.
Thanks, Mr. Hinson, for the
check and for the compliment.
Am glad I don’t expect to bo
asking friend daggers of the co-
unty rationing board for any
favors soon. Bet he’d feel like
choking me1 even if he didn’t
The past three weeks he has
sent us a bunch of stories about
the rationing program and not
one line have we printed. But,
Bro. Jaggers, it is almost impos-
sible to get stories that we re-
ceive on Thursday morning in-
to the paper that was printed on
Wednesday night.
Surely would appreciate re-
ceiving these stories, or any
item for that matter, on Tuesday
and never later than early Wed-
nesday morning.
A slight change in the prices
we charge for advertising will
become effective April 1st. and
it is with pleasure that we ac-
knowledge receipt of contract
from General Motors (Chevro-
let) for twelve months at the
new rates. We anticipate no
big fuss from any firm but it is
good to have this one firm come
in promptly with their contract.
Cost of printing equipment,
stock and supplies it up about
like everything else and the pub-
lic is not going to be hard on us
any more than others.
One item, for instance, is the
quoins we use to lock up forms
of type, that 1 ’ve bought for
$1.50 per dozen for forty years;
but the last dozen was $4.75,
For the circulation and stand-
ing we now have, the price for
advertising is very reasonable.
And while talking shop, let
me say that subscriptions to the
Press are still available. They
aren’t rationed nor froze. You
don’t have to bring your ration
book or birth certificate to get
this paper started to visiting
your fireside weekly. All you
need is $1.50 in money, cheeks,
or orders on your boss; or, if
you’d rather, a dollar and a half
worth of anything that is eat-
able by man or beast. In fact I’d
love to have several dollars and
halves worth of corn, hay, cot-
tonseed, peas, peanuts, potatoes,
(sweet and Irish) syrup, eggs,
etc., pine, wood, or what hav
you ?
The only restriction, so far.
on subscriptions is to the boys
in foreign service. They must
write us that they want the pa-
per—no matter whether they
pay for it or their family pays
for it—but we must have their
written request before we can
enter a new subscription for
them.
Say, I forgot to say we love to
eat ‘subscription’ chickens at
our ranch.

vised to follow faithfully service
procedure outlined in their in-
struction books on spark plugs,
distributor, timing, fuel filter,
crankcase lubrication, battery,
hose connections, thermostats,
anti-freeze, steering, and wind
■illicit! wipers. Batteries should
be watched closely, it is explain-
ed, because limited driving may
prevent charging the battery
sufficiently to replace the 'juice
used by the starter, lights, heat
er or radio.
Items to be given special at
tention by ‘B’ and ‘C card hold-
ers are listed as follows: spark
plugs, carburetor, air filter, fuel
pump, oil pump, crankcase lubri-
cation, generator, battery, igni
tion and battery cables, fan belt
hose connections, steering, wheel
alignment, camber and wheel
hearings, brakes, clutch, chassis
lubrication, body, fenders and
tires.
All owners are reminded
that tire conservation is the pri
mary purpose of gas rationing
and they are advised to make
sure that their tires are kept
properly inflated, and that all
ears, not permanently stored and
raised up on jacks, should be
operated regularly to prevent
excessive deterioration. Rotation
of tires every 4,0(Hl or 5,000 miles
according to a standardized, ap-
proved plan, is also recommend
ed.
Regular “Monthly Motor Car
.Maintenance” check-ups on all
important mechanical units on
a calendar rather than a mileage
basis is suggested as the surest
way of keeping motor vehicles
in essential operation for the du
ration of the war.
4 H CLUB GIRL WRITES
INTERESTING LETTER
CHEVROLET OFFERS
ADVICE TO CAR OWNERS
Which service items should be
given special attention by the
holder of an ‘A’ gasoline ration
card to assure enduring, econom-
ical operation of his ear in war
time!
Which items are of uppermost
importance to the ‘B’ and ‘C’
card holders?
Prompted by a noticeable ten-
dency among ear owners, partic-
ularly ‘A’ card holders, to neg-
lect proper servicing of their
vehicles because of reduced use-
age under gas rationing condi-
tions, Ed Iledner, national di
rector of service for Chevrolet,
offers timely advice to all three
classes of drivers.
‘A’ card holders, he points out.
are most likely to feel that their
•ars need little or no service at-
tention because they are1 used so
little. This, he says, is a serious
mistake because infrequent oper-
ation, at low speeds, in many in-
stances, can be more harmful to
vital units than regular opera-
tion at normal speeds. Cited as
an example is the fact that when
a car is driven at restricted
speed, the engine does not gener-
ate sufficient heat to evaporate
water in gases produced by burn-
ing the fuel, nor is it removed by
crankcase ventilation, and, there-
fore, the crankcase may have to
be .drained more often than nor-
mally. ‘A’ card holders are ad-

Miss Edna Prentice. Polk eo
untv Home Demonstration agen .
sent the following letter to The
Press. l» is written by Miss Ed
vvina Barclay, Corrigan senior
4-11 Club member and Gold Star
girl of 1042.
“I have been a 4-11 Club mem
her for four years and I havi
found the work both helpful ami
interesting.
“I begun my first year as co-
operator. This included a mini
her of things. I made a ha* rack
and a shoe raek and also a
apron. I served fruit to my fam-
ily several times in different
ways. I canned ten jars of berry
juice and fifteen jars of berrie
I made five gifts and gave them
at Christmas time. I also learned
to make seams.
"The second year of my 4-11
Club work was a demonstrator.
Besides the fruit plot demonstra-
tions, I made a cotton slip, a
dress, and a closet. As a fruit
plot demonstrator. I planted and
set out 25 peach trees, 10 fig
trees, and 15 cuttings of berries
“During my second I went to
W’oodville to help plan the 4-It
Club encampment for the sum
mer.
“Thai third year I was a cloth-
ing demonstrator. 1 became in-
terested in my personal appear
ance and began to give a great
deal of my attention to my
clothes. 1 kept an accurate ac-
count of what my clothes cost
for a year. I took an inventory
of the clothes 1 had and made a
budget, of tho clothes 1 was go-
ing to .buy. I spent $55.00 for my
entire wurdrobe for 12 months.
The things 1 made were the fol
lowing: 20 cotton dresses, 2 cot-
ton housecoats, 2 sleeping gar
ments, 5 cotton slips, and 2 silk
dresses. The rest of the clothes
in my wardrobe were bought al-
ready made.
“in 1041 I was chosen to rep-
resent Corrigan at the short-
course at A. & M. College. I en-
joyed the trip and the course
very much. I studied landscap-
ing, tlioi care of the orchard, and
the lighting of the farm house
with electricity.
“This year I am a co-operat-
or, During the summer i canned
30 cans and jars of food for my
family. I planted strawberries
last fall. They have grown very
well and the plants appear to
be healthy and strong.
“1 have.spent a great deal of
time in my orchard. 1 have en-
larged it and this will enable[
me to can more fruit this year.
“This is my last year to be in
u lilt 'lull. I 1 liinli I could spend
many more ytmrs at Ibis work
and still In- able lo learn more.
The' time I have spent lias been
profitable and well worth tile j
effort. The tilings I have learn
ed will help me to adapt myself
to the many and varied situa-
tions that arise- on the farm and
in my future life.’’
