RALPH LEE JOHNSON
Seaman Ralph Lee Johnson is
now stationed at the Naval Air
Station V. S. B. No. 3, A. O. T. C.,
Daytona Beach, Florida, and says
that he likes the navy fine. He is
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W.
Johnson, of Morgan, and his wife
is employed in the bomber plant
at Ft. Worth.
Hermon Kuykendall, of Kopperl
left January 22 to join the army.
Kopperl folks miss him from the
garage where he had worked for
some time. _
Staff Sergeant Gaines M. Webb,
a cook with the field artillery in
Africa, writes his mother, Mrs. M.
B. Webb, of Morgan, that he is
doing fine and enjoying his ser-
vice in the African drive.
Judge B. F. Word left Tuesday
for Lubbock to visit his son, Staff

with the class graduating at the
South Plains Glider “Commandos
of the Air” School Thursday.
From Sergeant James P. Rob-
ertson, who is with the army en-
gineer maintenance force in Alas-
ka, came the first letter to his
father, R. S. Robertson, since
Christmas. Jim reported he was
doing fine and keeping busy, but
enjoyed a holiday on Christmas.
Marshall Rose, second-class sea-
man, is reported ill with pneumon-
ia in Ward B-l, U.S. Navy Hos-
pital, at Long Beach, California.
Letters from his many friends
would no doubt cheer him up, as
reports from the hospital say he
will have a long stay in the sick
ward.
Pvt. James Brown, U.S. Army,
APO 22, care of Postmaster, San
Francisco, who has been in the

at Albuquerque, N. M. He was
born in Meridian, the son of Julian
Hughes, now of Des Moines, Iowa,
and grandson of Mrs. H. C. Hugh-
es, of Dallas, former Meridian resi-
dents. _
“I receive your paper every
week and I want to tell you how
much I enjoy it. Reading it
brings you a lot closer to home
and also helps you keep in contact
with your former buddies. I am
a mechanic at the Laredo Army
Air Field and am enjoying my
work fine. Believe it or not the
chow here is good; it must be be-
cause I have gained ten pounds.
The people here in Laredo are
very friendly but their language is
kinda hard to understand,” writes
Pvt. J. D. McCarty Jr., 1023rd.

Naval Aviation Cadet Gerald
Wendall Lee, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. A. Lee, Meridian, has been
transferred to the U. S. Naval Air
Station, Corpus Christi, Texas af-
ter successful completion of the
primary flight training course at
Dallas, Texas. After three
months of advanced flight training
at Corpus Christi, Cadet Lee will
pin on his wings as a Naval aviator
and be commissioned as an Ensign
in the Naval Reserve, or Second
Lieutenant in the Marine Corps
Reserve. Cadet Lee graduated
from the Meridian High School

Don’t Rush To
War Plants, Is
Board Advice
A word about the so called
“Work or Fight” ruling of the
War Manpower Board, from the
Bosque County Draft Board:
At this time the local boards
have no official word on this mat-
ter, but it is suggested that there
be no wholesale stampede to get
into Shipyards, Airplane or Muni-
tions Plants. Your own job may
be just as important under this
ruling, unless it is shown as com-
ing under the non essential oc-
cupations. As published Bosque
County seems to have very few
of these jobs.
A number of communications
have been returned undelivered to
registrants of the Bosque County
local board, showing that the
board is not being kept advised of
changes of address. Unless you
let the board know of your address
soon, these delinquents names will
have to be published in the news-
papers.
A lot of tires are being worn by
interested parents and employers
coming to the local board office
trying to get their son or employee
out of the army. Please be advis-
ed that the local board can’t get
your boy out, but he can make
his own application to his Com-
manding Officer for release to
Istart the procedure.
Some classifications into Class
III B will soon be made. This will
be, in effect, a frozen classifcation
as a “Necessary Man” as has been
previously explained. Class III C,
“Man Necessary in Agriculture”
will follow right away. If you
have left your agricultural job
since last reported, or if you have
entered an agricultural job recent-
ly, better inform the local board
so that you will be properly classi-
fied. —
Dependency Deferment Out.
Dependency draft deferment—
even for men with children—will
be wiped out for countless thou-
sands under a new order issued by
the War Man Power Commission’s
Selective Service Bureau Tuesday,
to take effect April 1.
Designed to impel transfer of
draft eligibles from nonessential
to essential work, the order—de-
parting completely from any is-
sued heretofore—sets up a list of
activities and job - occupations
which are to be “nondeferrable,”
regardless of dependents, after
April 1.
Although selective service
boards were instructed to start on
that date reconsidering the status
of “nondeferrables,” workers in
that classification will be given
an additional 30 days to find es-
sential positions providing that
they have registered with the
United States Employment Service
for a job transfer.

completed his rigorous pre-flight
course at the Georgia pre-flight
school at Athens, Georgia, before
coming to Dallas.
Last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. E.
M. Adams, of Walnut Springs,
were shocked and deeply grieved
upon their receiving a letter “re-
turned to writer,” and bearing this
inscription, “Missing in action,”
and signed by an Army officer.
This letter was one sent a few
weeks ago to their son, Lieut. Har-
old Adams of the U. S. Air Corps
in the Australia war zone. Con-
tact with the War Department dis-
closes no reports received concern-
ing Lieut. Adams at that time.
We sincerely hope these letters
were returned through error, and
that this noble young man is con-
tinuing to fight for his Country,
and will later return home safe
and sound with honors bestowed
upon him for heroic deeds and
achievements.
Frank E. Robinson, son of Mr.

Kopperl, Texas, has begun an in-
tensive course of study in aviation
mechanics at the Amarillo Army
Air Field, one of the newest
schools in the Army Air Forces
Technical Training Command. He
will spend several months at this
great mechanics’ school, and upon
graduation will be sent to one of
Uncle Sam’s air bases, there to do
his part in keeping America’s “Fly-
ing Fortresses” harassing the Ax-
is. In addition to mechanical
training, his course here will in-
clude army discipline and courtesy,
military drill and physical exercise
to put him in the peak of condi-
tion.”

Bosque 4-H Boys Mobilize “To Feed
And Clothe Fighter and Myself”
The Department of Agriculture
has designated the week of Feb-
ruary 6-14 as National 4-H Club
Mobilization Week thru-out the
Nation, states E. R. Lawrence,
county agent of the A. & M. Col-
lege Extension Service. With the
exception of one or two schools,
the boys of the county have had
their enrollment meetings and en-
rollment cards are coming in to
the agent’s office at a rapid rate.
“I will try to feed and clothe a
fighter and myself” is the slogan
the 4-H Club boys have adopted
this year and they have a tremen-
dous task ahead of them.
For Bosque county to produce
enough food stuff to feed the
Bosque county boys in the armed
forces one year it will take the
following amounts:
Cereals, 332,690 lbs.; Milk, 51,-
500 gallons; Meat, 741,600 lbs.;
Butter, 27,810 lbs.; Eggs, 31,312
doz.; Chicken, 64,890 lbs.; Toma-
toes, 62,830 lbs.; Citrus fruits,
108,150 lbs.; Dried fruits, 208,160
lbs.; Other fruits, 113,300 lbs.;
Dried Legumes, (Beans and peas),
98,880 lbs.; White potatoes, 254,-
840 lb.; Sweet potatoes, 14,420
lbs.; Leafy green and yellow vege-
tables, 195,700 lbs.; Jelly and jam,
5,150 lbs.; Sugar, 95,190 lbs.
(These figures were received
from the Local Draft Board and
the U.S. Army Quartermasters
Corps and are very accurate).
It is not likely that the 4-H Club
boys of this county can produce
that above amounts of food but it
is certain that they are going to
do all they can to produce as
much of it as possible.
Mr. Lawrence states also that
the 4-H Club boys are collecting
hunting knives and that these
knives are to be sent to the west
coast to the army, to be given to
the soldiers as they leave for the
Southwest Pacific battle areas.
Any one having a hunting knife
they will donate will be appreciat-
ed by the 4-H boys.

Feed Wheat, Income
Tax Help Available
To Bosque Farmers
At a meeting of the Bosque
County Farm Bureau Association
in Meridian Saturday night plans
were made to assist the farmers
and ranchers of the county in
securing feed wheat and making
out income tax returns, states E.
R. Lawrence, county agent of the
A. & M. College Extension Ser-
vice.
Mr. Lawrence reports that there
are many stock men in the coun-
ty who are in need of feed and
that feed wheat can be secured
for approximately $1.57 delivered
at Meridian. The Farm Bureau
of the county is designating the
following members to work up or-
ders for feed wheat and any one
interested in ordering feed wheat
should see the following bureau
members: B. C. Rogstad and Sv-
en Hanson, Cranfills Gap; Roy
Gosdin, Iredell; J. R. Carlton, Wal-
nut Springs; Ed Harris, Valley
Mills; E. F. Campbell, Morgan,
and Arnold Brandis, Clifton, and
A. G. Schulze, Meridian.
In the plan to assist farm peo-
ple with their income tax report
forms, a committee of Ed Harris,
Sven Hanson and E. F. Campbell
has been appointed. Forms will
be placed out in the county for
farm people to make out and from
this form the returns will be made
out. There will be a charge of
five dollars per return and for this
the farmers will also receive a
membership in the association.
The membership not only gives
them the services of the organiza-
tion but a good farm paper that
carries many things of interest to
the farmer and the rancher.
Trained workers will be placed
in various towns of the county to
make out the reports in order that
no one will have to travel too
farm for this service.
Mr. Lawrence states further
that other announcements will be
made thru the press relative to
the income tax return report.
Funeral Services few
Mrs. Earl Griffin to
Be Held in Dallas
Funeral services for Mrs. Earl
Griffin, wife of Earl Griffin,
former Meridian boy who is in
the army stationed at Medford,
Oregon, are scheduled to be held
in Dallas, Friday.
Mrs. Griffin died at Medford,
Oregon, early this week, and the
remains, accompanied by her hus-
band, Thursday were en route to
Dallas, her former home.
Mr. Griffin is a grandson of
Mr. and Mrs. Hamp Smith, and
son of Homer Griffin, and has a
number of relatives here.
His brother, Sgt. Victor Grif-
fin, and wife, of Fort Sam Hous-
ton, were here Thursday en route
to Dallas.
Many friends join in sympathy
for the bereaved ones.
Chick Production in
Bosque Heavy As
Result of War Need
Production of baby chicks will
probably be heavier than at any
other time in the history of Bos-
que County, based on reports that
have been received from hatcher-
ies that are operating in all parts
of this area. >
Bosque hatcheries have already
started operations, although the
season will not get into full swing
until next month. Most of the
chicks being hatched at this time
will be produced as fryers. The
months of March and April are the
periods when chicks for laying
purposes are considered the most
desirable.
If reports received here are true
egg production during the coming
months of the year will be extre-
mely heavy. The price of eggs,
coupled with the desire of most
producers to co-operate in the
war effort, is believed responsible
for this condition.
No figures are available on the
probable number of laying hens
being maintained on the various
poultry farms of the county at
this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Frazier, of
Morgan, were Meridian visitors
Tuesday.
Cash Rewards
For Farmers
Who Produce
Maximum production of food
and feed crops will mean thou-
sands of additional dollars to Tex-
as farmers under the incentive
payments program.
Designed to obtain greater pro-
duction of crops vital to war, pay-
ments are offered to the nation’s
farmers as compensation in achiev-
ing goals despite increased pro-
duction costs.
Commenting on the program,
the state USDA War Board said
that most of the additional money
to be realized by Texas farmers
would come from increased pro-
duction of peanuts, grain sorg-
hums and soybeans.
Payments on these crops range
from $30 per acre for peanuts
and $15 per acre for soybeans to
$8 per acre on grain sorghums but
are applicable only on the acreage
over 90 percent and up to 110 per-
cent of the farm goal. Under the
war production plan sheet, acre-
age goals are established for indi-
vidual farms.
Although the soybean and grain
sorghum goals probably will be
increased, no increase in the state
peanut goal is anticipated, the
board said in pointing out that
Texas farmers already were being
asked to plant 1,300,000 acres,
which is one fifth of the national
goal and 22 percent more than last
year’s record high of 1,060,000
acres.
Farmers planting between 90
percent and 110 percent of their
peanut goals will be eligible for
the additional payments.
Goals already established in the
state for soybeans and grain sorg-
hums are 50,000 acres and 4,969,-
000 acres, respectively. The na-
tional soybean goal has been in-
creased from 10%-milllion acres
to 12-million acres while the grain
sorghum goal has been stepped up
from 10-million to 12-million acr-
es and Texas farmers likely will
be asked to share the increase in
both crops.
The increase in oil crops is
needed to meet more adequately
the increasing needs for oil and
proteins while grain sorghums are
needed to increase the feed supply
for the Nation’s expanding live-
stock program.
Other crops under the program
which apply to Texas farmers are
sweet potatoes and Irish potatoes.
Farmers in approved areas will re-
ceive payment of 50 cents a bushel
on the normal yield of the acre-
age planted to sweet potatoes
over 90 percent of the farm goal
and up to 110 percent of the goal.
The Irish potato payments,
which was announced several days
ago, also is 50 cent per acre and
applies to potatoes planted after
February 1.

Rules for Mailing
Parcels Overseas to
Army and Navy Differ
Because shipping space is so
sorely needed for ammunition,
food and medical supplies, both the
army and navy have placed re-
strictions on shipment of parcels
by mail to men in the armed forc-
es overseas and in the naval ser-
vice.
There are differences in the re-
strictions applying to personnel of
the army and the navy, however,
which are explained by Postmas-
ter Moran Dunlap as follows:
The army regulations forbid:
Mailing of packages to soldiers
overseas except for articles a sol-
dier has requested. A request
must be approved by the soldier’s
commanding officer, and the mail-
er must present this written ap-
proval at the post office; mailing
overseas of packages over five
pounds in weight, 15 inches in
length or 36 inches in length and
girth combined; mailing overseas
of newspapers and magazines ex-
cept by the publisher, and then on-
ly when the soldier is a subscriber.
The navy does not, at present,
require that an approved request
be obtained from the overseas ad-
dressee before parcels can be mail-
ed to naval personnel, marines or
coast guards overseas, but does
require that no parcel weigh
more than five pounds, and not
exceed 15 inches in length, or 36
inches in length and girth combin-
ed. Not more than one parcel a
week may be sent by or on behalf
of the same person or concern to
the same addressee, and perishable
articles cannot be sent.
Overseas parcels include all ad-
dressed in care of the postmaster
at New York City, San Francisco,
Seattle and other embarkation
points.
For letter mail, both the army
and navy encourage the use of V-
Mail as a means of improving the
service and reducing cargo space.
V-Mail affords, fast, safe mail ser-
vice and represents a saving of 98
per cent in cargo spatie compared
to ordinary mail.
INCENTIVE PAYMENTS FOR
PLANTING PEANUT GOALS
The Department of Agriculture
through the AAA will offer incen-
tive payments to farmers in 1943
for planting in excess of 90% of
the peanut goal determined for
the farm. Payment of $30.00 per
acre will be made for each acre
between 90% and 110% of the
farm goal. No incentive payment
is offered on acreage in excess of
110% of the farm goal or on that
acreage up to 90% of the farm
goal.
Before the county peanut goal
is broken down to farms, each
person intending to produce pea-
nuts should report their intended
acreage to the AAA Office im-
mediately.

Food Rationing
Scheduled To
Begin March 1
The Office of Price Administra-
tion announced that rationing of
canned and frozen fruits and vege-
tables and dried fruits will start
March 1.
Grocery store sale of these com-
modities will stop at midnight
February 20 and will not be re-
sumed until the ration date. This
“freeze” was set by officials for
the purpose of allowing grocers
to stock up, to arrange and mark
merchandise and undertake other
preparations for the complicated
“point rationing” system.
Beginning February 22 and
stretching over six days, the en-
tire civilian population of the
country will be registered in
schoolhousqs and elsewhere for
this new type of rationing, in a
manner similar to the nation-wide
registration for sugar rationing
nearly a year ago.
At this registration, everyone
who can show he has war ration
book No. 1, the coupon sheet for
sugar and coffee, will be entitled
to receive war ration book No. 2,
which will be used both for canned
good beginning March 1 and will
also be used about a month later
for meat rationing.
Before getting the new ration
book, however, each family will
have to declare how many cans
the family had on hand February
21. From this number will be
subtracted five cans for every per-
son in the family, and coupons
from the new book will be torn
out for any cans in excess of five
per person. However, this count
of cans will exclude home canned
goods and certain types of non-
rationed cans, such as canned oliv-
es or jellies, and all cans contain-
ing less than eight ounces (mostly
small cans of baby food).
Commissioners Provide
For Victory Tax From
County Salaries
The Honorable Commissioners’
Court convened in Special Session
February 1, for the purpose of
transacting any and all business
that should come before said court,
with all members present.
An order to pay victory tax
was passed, reading as follows:
Whereas, the Federal Government
has imposed a new tax termed
“Victory Tax” on all salaries and
wages, including the ex-officio
salaries and' wakes paid by the
County, and whereas it is neces-
sary to deduct and withhold cer-
tain per centages of such salaries
and wages and forward same to
the Federal Internal Revenue De-
partment; therefore the County
Clerk is hereby directed and auth-
orized to deduct such per centages
in acordance with said law from
said salaries and wages, keeping a
record of same so that proper pay-
ments may be made to the Internal
Revenue Department.
The bond of Mack Bertelson,
County Surveyor, having been
presented and being in proper a-
mount, in due form, properly con-
ditioned, and with good and suf-
ficient surety thereon, was ap-
proved.
Other orders passed: “Where-
as, certain property between Clif-
ton and Valley Mills was deeded
for school purposes to the County
Judge of Bosque County and his
successors in office, but said school
was consolidated with the Valley
Mills Independent School District,
and whereas said School District
has sold said land to J. E. Harris
and in order to perfect title he
has requested that Bosque County
execute a quit claim deed to the
premises, and whereas Bosque
County has no claim on said lands
and premises, the County Judge
is hereby directed to execute such
deed for and on behalf of Bosque
County, and the County Clerk is
directed to atest same, said land,
same being 3-3/4 acres out of the
Joseph Berry survey in Bosque
County, Texas.
“Whereas title to Block 47, City
of Meridian, has long been vested
Bosque County, but that Bosque
County has no use for same and
it is lying now as idle land, untax-
able, and whereas T. J. Lane has
offered the sum of $50.00 for
same which represents the fair
value of same, the County Judge
is directed to sell same to T. J.
Lane and is hereby empowered to
execute the deef for and in the
name of Bosque County, and the
County Clerk is directed to attest
same.”
