Miss Bettie Hoff Is Laid
To Rest September 29
■Miss Bettie Ingeborg Hoff, the
daughter of Jim and Martha Hoff,
was born June 29, 1876. She was bap-
tized and confirmed at the Norse
Church by the Rev. J. K. Rystad.
On April 13, 1934, she sustained in-
juries in an accident which im-
paired her health and since confined
her to the home she has shared with
her brother,
She departed this life Monday, Sept.
28 at 10:30 a.m., and leaves to mourn
her earthly loss bne brother, Mr. P.
T. Hoff, Clifton, one sister, Mollie,
Mrs. A. H. Nelson, Chickasha, Okla.,
one nephew, Melvin James Nelson, in
the U. S. Navy. Blessed be her
memory.
Funeral services were held at the
home in the Boggy community at 2:00
and at the Norse Church at 3:00
o’clock Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 29,
1942. The services were conducted by
Rev. B. R. Maakestad of Cranfills

There will be a singing Sunday af-
ternoon, October 4th, at the Meridian
Methodist Church, beginning at 2:00
o’clock.
All local singers of Bosque County
are expected to be present, and num-
erous invitations have been sent out
to visiting singers from surrounding

New Rationing Order On Farm
Machinery Is Placed In Effect
not have a thing. However, the new
coach, Raymer, that they have, has al-
ways been known to have a strong
team when ever the material was any
good at all. The chances are that they
will be pretty good this year.
The Cubs are gradually developing
into a good defensive team, with a
pretty good running attack that could
become a might good one with a little
more blocking. The passing has been
poor so faT. However, the passing
game usually takes more time to per-
fect. If some fair passing can be
worked in then the offense will be
greatly improved. The kicking has
improved immensely, and can become
good if improvement continues.
Once again the Clifton football fans
are showing themselves to be the best
in the country. The Clifton teams the
last few years have had the best back-
ing of any team in the country. This
year is proving to be the same as fine
crowds have seen both games played
so far this year. This fine support
makes the boys feel that their efforts
are appreciated by the town.
Be on hand Friday night and see the
Cubs start the 1942 football race.
Music was furnished by the Norse
Choir and by Miss Hannah Hoff.
Out-of-town guests present for the
funeral were Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Lar-
son, McKinney, Texas; Mrs. Arthur
McNeil, McKinney, Texas, and Mrs.
D. R. Phillips and son, Bobby, of Dal-
las, Texas.

N.Y.A WAR WORK
TRAINING OFFERED
An interesting bit of information
released to local boards recently is
the opportunity offered by NYA to
young women who would like to pre-
pare for mechanical work in the war
plants. This training is also offered
to young men who have been disquali-
fied for military service. Also in this
category, married women will be ac-
cepted whose husbands are in the
armed forces. The age limits are from
18 to 24 inclusive, and trainees must
have a Ninth Grade high school edu-
cation or better. Training is for a
period of six to twelve weeks, depend-
ing upon the course, and if any Bosque
County young people are interested,
please write to NYA, Box 1129, Waco,
Texas. An NYA representative visits
Clifton each Friday afternoon, who
will be happy to interview you.
In connection with the above pro-
gram, older men and women, from 25
to 35, can secure about thq same train-
ing by other agencies. All interested
may contact the United States Em-
ployment Service, Box 798, Waco,
Texas.
RATIONING BEGUN
ON RUBBER BOOTS
Because of the serious rubber short-
age, certificate rationing of men’s
rubber boots and rubber work shoes
has been ordered by the Office of
Price Administration to insure ne-
cessary supplies of this footwear for
men working on jobs essential to the
war effort or the public health and
safety, Mr. Handley, Chairman of the
Bosque County War Price and Ration-
ing Board announced today.
Mr. Handley said this action was
taken at the direction of the War Pro-
duction Board.
Effective at midnight September 29,
Mr. Handley said the OPA ordered all
sales and shipments of six types of
men’s rubber boots and rubber work
shoes frozen to prevent a buyer’s
“run” on the stocks now on hand and
also to give dealers time to take in-
ventory.
All retailers, wholesalers, and man-
ufacturers of the rationed footwear
required to obtain OPA inventory
forms from their local War Price and
Rationing Board on either Thursday,
Friday or Saturday of this week.
The “freeze” period will end pn
Monday, October 5, when rationing to
customers begins. The Bosque County
War Price and Rationing Board will
be open to workers and company pur-
chasing agents who need certificates
entitling them to buy the rationed
footwear, Mr. Handley said.
“To get a certificate,” Mr. Handley
explained, “the applicant must fill out
two copies of a form that will be
availably at the local War Price and
Rationing Board. These can be ob-
tained by coming to the board in per-
son, writing for them, or sending a
representative.
TIRE INVENTORY
MUST BE FILED
WAAC ENROLMENT
TO BE STEPPED UP
The District Recruiting Office has
been asked to step up its enrollment
of women for the Women’s Army
Auxiliary Corps, according to Colonel
C. K. Rhinehart, District Recruiting
Officer.
Women citizens of the United States
between the ages of 21 and 45, who
are in excellent physical health, are
eligible for enrollment. Stenographers,
typists, clerks, bookkeepers, account-
ants, bakers, cookB, cashiers, dieti-
tians, truck drivers, telephone opera-
tors, radio technicians, weather ob-
servers, photographic assistants, and
crytographers are urgently needed at
the present time.
In addition to the pay of the corps,
members are provided uniforms and
other clothing, medical and dental
services, hospitalization, food and
quarters, and many other benefits.
All applicants, besides being eligible
for the extra pay afforded specialists
and non-commissioned grades, may
aspire to become officers as future
officer candidates will be chosen from
among the auxiliaries or privates.
Women accepted for enrollment will
be placed in a reserve pool to await
ill! ’

All tire sellers must file September
30 inventory reports of all serviceable
tires and tubes before October 15 to
comply with the Revised Tire Ration-
ing Regulations, Mr. Handley, Chair-
man of the Bosque County War Price
and Rationing Board, reminded the
trade today.
The inventory report, which is man-
datory quarterly, is to show the stocks
of all new and used tires and tubes and
retreads and recaps held by all per-
sons who have any of the items for
sale.
Filing of the reports is particularly
important at this time, Mr. Handley
emphasized, since they will provide a
record of persons who are engaged in
the business of selling tires, and, hence
will, be eligible to receive additional
stocks of tires if larger inventories be-
come necessary by Teason of any
change in the rationing program un-
dertaken to meet the Baruch Commit-
tee recommendations.
Reporting forms are being sent by
mail to most of those required to file
the returns, but those who do not get
them and have tires to report must
obtain the forms from the local War
Price and Rationing Board in Meri-
dian.
The reporting requirements apply
not only to recappers and dealers in
new tires, but also to those who have
only used tires for sale, and to auto-
supply
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard has issued a temporary order
prohibiting the sale of new farm ma-
chinery and equipment, except as
specified in a rationing system gov-
erning its release, states E. R. Law-
rence, County Agent of the A. & M.
College Extension Service and also a
member of County U. S. D. A. War
Board. The temporary order took ef-
fect September 17 and will be fol-
lowed by a permanent order later gov-
erning the release of farm machinery
in 1943.
The county rationing committee has
been set up and is ready to take appli-
cations from those who wish to sub-
mit them. Necessary forms are in
the hands of dealers or may be re-
ceived from the A. A. A. office in
Meridian. The committee is composed
of A. G. Schulze, Meridian; Craig
Logan, Valley Mills; and B. C. Rog-
stad, Meridian.
The temporary rationing plan clas-
sifies farm machinery into three
groups. Items in the first group,
Group A, include farm machines vital-
ly essential to -current agricultural
needs and which May Not be sold by a
dealer unless the farmer has obtained
a purchase certificates from the coun-
ty rationing committee.
The types of machinery in Group A
for which a farmer must have a pur-
chase certificate include: beet lifters,
beet loaders, combines, com pickers,
disc harrows, feed grinders, fertilizer
spreaders, grain drills, grain elevators,
haybalers, lime spreaders, manure
spreaders, milk coolers, milking ma-
chines, pickup balers, potato diggers,
shredders, and tractors including gar-
den tractors.
In general the farmer will be re-
quired to show that his present equip-
ment is not adequate to handle his
production, that he cannot meet his
equipment needs by repairing existing
equipment, by purchasing or renting
used equipment, by custom work or
other means. He must also show that
failure to approve his application will
result in a substantial reduction in
production of commodities essential in
the war effort, and that the machinery
will give better than average service
for similar equipment in the commu-
nity.
Items in a second group, Group B,
include most other farm machinery
and equipment not in the first group,
and which may be sold upon certifica-
tion by the farmer to his dealer that
the equipment is essential for current
agricultural production needs.
Items in the third group, Group C,
Miss Roy Sue Wimberley
New Home Economist
For Gas Company
Miss Roy Sue Wimberley has been
named home economist for the Corsi-
cana division of the Community
Natural Gas Company, which includes
Clifton, according to F. V. Williams,
division superintendent. Filling the
vacancy created by the transfer of
Miss Winnell Cantrell to Waco as di-
vision home economist, Miss Wimber-
ley’s services will be available to all
customers of the gas company.
“In assisting customers with their
home making problems,” Mr. Williams
said, “Miss Wimberley will confer
with housewives on the principles of
nutrition and how to meet wartime
feeding responsibilities and food con-
servation in the face of rising costs
and the rationing of certain foods. She
will advise of food preparation and
■recipes and menus.”
Miss Wimberley is a native of Italy,
Texas, where her father, Roy Wim-
berley, formerly was mayor. She is
a graduate of Texas State College for
Women, where she received a voca-
tional teaching certificate for home
economics graduates. Miss Wimber-
ley formerly taught in the Luling
public schools where for the past two
years she was in charge of the home
economics department.
