Bronzed Texas Cowmen Form
One Of Nation's First Home
Defense Cavalry Outfits
MARFA. Tex . Jan. 24 —(/Pi-
Packing their own shooting irons
a hundred bronze cowmen rode
in from remote ranches of the Big
Bend today and signed to defend
this rugged stretch along the
Mexican bordei
Their outfit the "Highland
Hereford Rough Riders”, is one
of the nation’s first home defense
cavalry units
Assembling in groups, the
Rough Riders dismounted one by
one and registered their equip-
ment with their organizer and di-
rector, George Jones, a Marfa
cattleman
Then they rode in review be.
fore state defense guard officials
and Mexican army officers from
Juarez.
The riders, recruited from the
tri-county area of Jeff Davis.
Presidio and Brewster counties,
declared they were Rarin’ to
to ride and shoot in any emer-
gency in the rough country of
sagebrush and rattlesnakes
The men are under direct or-
ders of their three sheriffs. These
peace officers — experiened in
tracking down rustlers in a coun-
try in parts untouched by civili-
zation — are J. D. Bunton of
Marfa. Jim Walker of Fort Davis
and Clarence Hord of Alpine.
Equipment consists of horses
saddles, rifles, pickup trucks and
trailers.
Officials present include Brig.

Gen. J. Jayme Quinones, com-
manding officer of the Juarez

Herald Carriers'
Stamp Sales Lag
Still showing a marked de-
crease, the Herald Carrier Boys’
Defense Stamp Sales campaign
dropped even further this week.
Only $29.70 was reported sold for
the entire week by all carriers.
Donald Little is the leader for
the week. Little sold S15.00 dur-
ing the period. The leaders for
the entire period still remain the
same with Doyle Daniels heading
the list and J. C. Gunter in sec-
ond.

Two things above all others
impressed us in Fred Smiths’
(Civil Air Patrol commander' at
the HCPA meeting last week.
First we heard again that the
CAP was formed as a pledge to
assure the Army and Navy that
every person flying a private
plane in the USA will be regis-
tered and kept track of. Second
we learned of the real assistance
private fliers could be to the ser-
vices in helping with the trans-
portation problem. Said Smith
“I expect to see army officers
ferried across the country in
Cubs.”
Going on. Smith described a sit-
uation in which a sudden move-
ment of troops and supplies could
require all of the equipment of
all of the railroads, ground car
riers and commercial air trails
port lines.
Anybody who has seen evet
one division of twelve thousanr
men on the road can understam
how it could happen. Operatirq
within their own range, say four
hundred miles, a fleet of ligh
planes could pick up officers anc
specialists, move them to the nex
pick up point transporting then
above the tangled highways anc
railroads with a saving of hours—
even lays. It might make the dif
, Terence.
Direction ol traffic on the
1 ground with those caravans which
j stretch for miles across the coun
! try would be facilitated by use o:
j light and medium private planes
Praise be to
that makes me
iaaklike ikis!

Take-Off on Defense Stamps
WINGS
You can’t buy tires for your ear.
You can’t buy golf or tennis balls
after the ones you''have are gone.
From the sportsman's angle
there’s only one angle 'from our
angle'. You can buy anything you
need for your airplane, rubber
or otherwise. Flying is the one
sport that's more than a sport.
When your’s flying, you're help-
ing to “Keep 'Em Flying” —
you're doing your part toward na-
tional defense. Figure it out for
yourself.
—and speaking of the war has
it ever occurred to you that, the
experience gained from the fev-
erish air transport, and the opera-
tions of thousands of both short
and long-range planes on land
and water during this war will
surely leave the USA with the
greatest merchant marine of the
air in the world. If you're in
touch with aviation, you’re in
touch with the future of America
— and democracy. We not only
must win — we must carry on
in the air.

Lost Army and Navy planes could
be located quickly and first aid
and ambulance service could be
taken care of to a surprising de-
gree by private fliers. Remember
the small private boats which
brought the British army back
from Dunkrique.
Doesn't that opportunity for
service catch your fancy Mr. flier?
Of course if you want to be sel-
fish about it (which all of us do
occasionally' you can get a blank
at the airport today and join the
C. A. P. — just so you will be
allowed to fly Either way you'
look at it our advice is to do
something about it TODAY
Up And About
Jerry Keith, of Jerry and Dow-
ell Plumbing Co., began his in-
struction as a new member of
the Twenty Flying Club — has
three hours already.
Cliff Bennett joined the “20
Club” and is getting back into the
swing.. Dave Armstrong, wrote
that he had settled at Shepherd
Field in Wichita Falls, a private
in the enlisted air corps.
J. Floyd Howe and Bill Harna-
gel received their reinstatement.
Forty-two cadets for the Air
Corps was the final count for
Borger.
Inspector Waage licensed two
airplanes on his first official in-
spection date at Harnagel field.
Captain Seeger says that Flight
“C” of the TDG will get into it’s
training program this week.
Bob Leuthart appeared on the
scene and announced that he will
go down for reinstatement soon.
Joe Blair, one of the first solos
on the old Borger Flying Club
Cub Trainer, was out and getting
a tremendous kick out of flying
again after a couple of years in
South America.
Freddie Weldon appeared out
of nowhere and took up his fly-
ing where he left off.
They’re still talking about that
new hangar.
Ground School is still going on
Monday and Wednesday nights
at the high school at 7:30 p. m.—
and if you’re going on with your
flying you’re wasting your time
and money if you don’t attend.
Eight words a minute is the
speed required to graduate from
the basic (2nd phase' training in
the Air Corps. Most of the pilots
who have been attending the code
school Tuesdays and Fridays at
7:30 at the United Carbon Co.
office under Mr. Way — can now
take down six words a minute.
The “next springers” and the
“after the war” 'hope they can
still pass the physical test' fliers
are in the same class. You’ve got
to learn to fly and you had better
not think that you can buy a
brand new plane — any kind —
the right one for you without
knowing anything about plane
characteristic and fly it home.
You gotta learn.
See you next week!

The Buenos Aires government

mise anti-Axia agreement
reached by all the western
hemisphere republics at the
Pan - American conference
here.
The action of the Montevideo
and Lima governments was an-
nounced shortly before Sumner
Welles, U. 8. Under Secretary of
State, told the conference that
“we have already met with the
utmost measure of success in at-
taining the objectives we sought.”
The two Latin American coun-
tries thus gave pointed emphasis
to Welles’ further declaration in
an address to the conference that
“we can truly say this has been a
meeting of deeds, not merely
words.”
Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador and
Paraguay are expected to follow
the lead of Uruguay and Peru
and observers here were predict-
ing that by the end of next week
Argentina and Chile would be the
only western hemisphere coun-
tries maintaining diplomatic ties
with the Axis powers.
Uruguay’s decision to break
with the Axis was announced by
foreign minister Alberto Guani
upon receipt of word from Pres-
ident Alfredo Baldomir at Mon-

wear one."
Still another shook her head
seriously and calculated, “We'll
just have to learn to hold our
tummies in, that’s all."
"If we’re rationed on sugar,
we won’t need girdles," laughed
another pseudo-shaped sis.
There were plenty of “oh's” and
"ah’s” from lamenting ladies on
all sides.
Several lovelies declared the
only time they ever wore girdles
was when they wanted to hold
their stockings up Which brings
about the prediction that anklets
and half-socks this spring will
probably have the biggest season
since they became stylish.
There you are people. That’s
the “two way stretch” of the sit-
uation.
From now on, sister, you’re go-
ing to have to bend down, if you
wanna' keep thin!
