Unusual Program at
Rotary This Week
R. M Nutt bad charge of an
unusual but very Interesting pro-
gram at the Taft Rotary Club
meeting Tuesday which Included
a short talk by the Mexican Con-
sul. Laraberto H. Obregon and a
more lengthy part by Hector de
Pena, well-known lawyer of Cor-
pus Chrfstl who gav.a factual In-
formation and conducted ,a sam-
ple meeting of the League of
United Latln-Amerlcan Citizens.
This group is known by the name
of “Lulacs” which is abrevlatlon
of the full name and they are
all United States citizens of
Lntitt-Amerlcan extraction.
Some sixteen Tuft ntembers of
the Lulacs took part In the pro-
gram, two of them rendering
musical numbers.

mittee to Investigate Air Safety
which was created by House Re-
solution in March, 1941. follow-
ing a number of serioti.! air ac-
cidents In the UnRed States, are
are now In South America to
carry on an investigation of air
safety, air operations in several
countries, and other matters some
of which are of a confidential na-
ture.
The committee wtH carry on its
work in Mexico, the Canal Zone
and a number of South American
Republics.
Since its creation In March ol
this year the committee has in-
vestigated all major air accidents
in the United States. Inspected
the pilot and co-pilot training
courses of the domestic airlines,
and also has investigated the
production and release of aircraft
to the domestic airlines in the
light of priority policies and the
effect of such policies upon th?
adequacy and sufficiency of air-
craft from the standpoint of pub-
lic safety.
Loans to aircraft manufactur-
ing corporations by the U. S.
have given a great impetus to
aviation generally and the com-
mittee is of the opinion that the
next few years will see a tre-
mendous expansion of air com-
merce to South America and in
trans-ocean service. Such service
will involve the safety of thou-
sands of American citizens and

Cotton Receipt* at
Taft Pa#* 1940
Figure
Despite the late crop and un-
favorable harvesting conditions
here, the Taft Compress hat! on
Wednesday of this week received
more cotton tlian for the full 1940
»5ason, according to Raymond
Mullen, manager, who stated that
several hundred more bales were
expected to come in, as a few
farmers have about one-fourth of
their crop yet to gather.
Part of thi^ increase in busi-
ness Is possibly dqe to the new
policy of the Taft Compress to
give “shlpslde" service to the
farmers of this section, thus al-
lowing them to turn their cotton
over to the Taft concern with no
expansion of such facilities
