For the second time in two weeks
chickens thieves made a raid on the
poultry house of Mr. and Mrs. Ira
Lee Friday night. When seen Sat-
urday Mr. Lee said he thought twelve
or fifteen were taken, but could not
tell until what was left went to l’oost
that night.
Seven of the stolen chickens were
found near the Cunningham gin in
the weeds Saturday morning.
Mr. Lee said that about two weeks
prior to this visit his poultry house
had been raided and 32 chickens tak-
en. On this first visit the poultry
house was locked, but the thieves
took out the screws that held the
hinges.
Sheriff Walker was out Saturday
endeavoring to pick up a clue that
would lead to an arrest.
Amateur Radio Contest
To Be Held Friday Night
The Missionary Society of the
First Christian Church is sponsoring
a radio contest to be held at the
school auditorium at 8 o’clock Fri-
day evening.
Four cash prizes are to be award-
ed, two to local contestants and two
to visiting amateurs. Four of the
amateurs will be chosen for an audi-
tion over WRR at 7:15 Sunday,
May 17.
Admission prices are 10c and 15c.
Entrants are expected to register at
the Choate pharmacy or the Lovelady
meat market.
More than twenty-five have entei*-
ed the contest and entries continue.
A report has gained currency that
the program will be behind a curtain
and cannot be seen. This is wrong—
the program can be both seen and
heard.

Sanderford, the Ferguson candidate,
is following out a full schedule of
speaking dates in small communities.
Inside reports here have it that he is

changes in his staff of campaign and
publicity aides. . . . Tom Hunter’s
only campaign activity has been the
issuance of a couple of newspaper
statements criticizing Allred’s Cen-
tennial booster traveling and speak-
ing, but the governor has received
praise from every section of the
state for making the Texas Press-
Centennial booster tour, and his
friends figure it did him more good
politically at home than to have re-
mained here and campaigned actively.
. . . Red-Headed Bill McCraw, the
attorney general, having no oppo-

public by making dozens of patriotic
speeches thruout the state, and by

FATHER MRS. FRED RENEAU
COUNTY JUDGE DURING WAR
Last week the Record mentioned
the fact that Mrs. Lib Robertson Re-
neau, of Mineola,visited the scenes of
her girlhood days about Weston and
Cottage Hill. Saturday we received
a letter from Mrs. Reneau, mailed at
Maryetta, Ok. In the leltter she
stated that “Uncle” John Mallone
gave her two copies of the Record
containing his pioneer articles. Af-
ter reading them Mrs. Reneau says
she would like to add: “My father
arrived in Collin County in the fall
of 1854 in a wagon train from Illi-
nois and taught school that winter at
the “only school” Uncle John speaks
of—a one-room log house—known
then as “Possum Trot” school and lo-
cated about a half mile south of his
old home, north of Hart branch. Un-
cle Simon Wilson was a practicing
physician before Uncle John came to
Tcxss.
“My father, A. G. Robertson, was
County Judge of Collin County dur-
ing and after the Civil War. The
county commissioners court tied on
whether brick or stone should be used
for the court house, and he, being
judge, voted for stone and broke the
tie.”
Mrs. Reneau asks that any copies
of the Record containing pioneer his-
tory of this community be sent her.

We are already receiving inquiries
from people wanting to know where
they can secure vaccine for the pre-
vention of “blackhead” in their tur-
keys. We are sorry to inform them
that there is no such vaccine pro-
duced.
With the presence of a large num-
ber of poults, damp ground and
warm days, the organism of black-
head has an ideal condition to cause
heavy losses. Remember blackhead
is a filth borne disease and the only
prevention is sanitation.
Let’s fix a few definite things in
our mind that will perhaps help out
greatly in controlling this disease.
1. The organism of blackhead is
found in the cecum worm of chickens.
Therefore turkeys should not be on
the same ground with chickens.
2. Clean ground is essential as a
sanitation measure. If the ground is
plowed and left exposed to the sun,
many organisms are destroyed. This
is an easy as well as an economical
measure.
3. Contamination around feeder
and water troughs should be avoided.
A very good practice is to move the
feeder and water trough a few feet
each day. This may seem like a lit-
tle thing but it is the little things
that count most in turkey produc-
tion.
4. Feed the growing birds a well
balanced mash and grain, supply
abundance of tender
green feed, water, grit and oyster
shell. Watch your sanitation and
dismiss blackhead from your mind.
5. Should you get blackhead in
your flock, youu will have to go back
and put Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 into prac-
tice.
An ounce of prevention is worth
dollars at Thanksgiving and Christ-
Miss Zelma McWilliams
Injured By Truck May 6
This is the first of a series of ques-
tions that the people of Texas are
asking. Orville S. Carpenter, state
pension director, answers them
frankly and to the point:
Q—Why cannot assistance be paid
to every person in Texas who is 65
years of age or older?
A—First, because the Texas law
says that assistance may be paid only
to those “in need”; second, because
the Federal Government will not al-
low us to pay Federal money to peo-
ple who are not in need.
Q—Will not Federal money mean a
lot to Texas?
A—Yes. It will mean that sever-
al millions of dollars each year will
be given to the aged people of Texas
that they would not otherwise get;
it will mean that with it a person
will be able to receive as much as
$30 a month, and without it no one
could get more than $15 per month.
Q—What does the Federal law say
about “need”,
A—It says that the Federal appro-
priation is made for the purpose of
enabling states to assist “aged needy
individuals.” (Sec. 1).
Q— Was this “aged needy individ-
uals” question checked?
A—The Social Security Board stat-
ed that this was the correct interpre-
tation of the law.
Q—How does the Texas definition
of “needy” compare with that of
other states?
A—Texas has the most liberal
definition of “aged needy individ-
uals” in the United States. The Tex-
as law is much more liberal on this
point than that of any other state in
the Union.
Miss Zelma Dee McWilliams of
Sanger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.
McWilliams, and a former citizen of
Celina, was painfully injured at Lake
Dallas Wednesday, May 6. She was
standing on the running board of a
truck when the machine was started
suddenly and she was thrown off.
The rear wheels ran over her body.
Strange to say, after being run
oer by such a heavy vehicle, no bones
were broken, though she was badly
bruised and was for some days very
sore.
The young lady’s brother,, Roy
McWilliams, and family and her sis-
ter, Mrs. Mattie Bridgefarmer and
children went over to see the injured
girl Sunday.

County Agent Tells How
To Fight Potato Beetles
From Sherman Democrat.
A heavy infestation of potato bugs
has been reported in several areas in
Grayson county, according to B. F.
Gray, county agent. The best method
of fighting bugs is with an arsenic
poisoning, either calcium arsenate or
arsenate of lead, Mr. Gray said. The
poison may be either dusted or
sprayed on.
If a spray is used, about three
pounds of poison should be used with
50 gallons of water or a heaping ta-
blespoon full to a gallon of water,
The poison can be easily dusted on
through a washed flour sack, he said.
Plants should be dusted lightly early
in the morning or late in the aftei--
noon. There is no need to leave the
plant white with poison, he said.
