Washington, Nov. 17.—Pres-
ident Truman today- asked
Congress to attack inflation by'
giving him the 'authority to
impose ceilings on, wages and
prices, and to revive consumer
rationing if necessary.
Mr. Truman’s domestic anti-
inflation program contained
* 10 basic points on which he
asked immediate action by
Congress. But he said the gov-

ers only if conditions become
more acute.

authority to put price ceilings
only on selective cost-of-living
items such as food, clothing,
fuel and rent.

separately at noon to start the
emergency session. They then
gathered together in the House
chamber to hear Mr. Truman.
The speech was broadcast by
all major radio networks and
was televised.
In an unusual ceremony, the
House opened its session by re-
peating the Lord’s prayer at
request of the Bev. James
Skera Montgomery, Bouse
chaplain.

credit controls and to restrain
the creation of inflationary
bank credit.

en export controls.
“4. To extend authority to

The Timpson' Bears enter-
tain the Garrison Bulldogs
Thursday night, Nov. 20, in a
nonconference tilt in Bear
Stadium at 7:30 p. m. From all
indications the Garrison team
is not to be underrated and
should give the locals
battle. The Bears have closed
comerence competition, win-
ning two games end-dropping
five, •
Last Friday night the Timp-
son eleven took a 25-0 drub-
bing from the Carthage Bull-
dogs in the wont beating of
the season. The shifty, swift
Carthage backs ran at will in
the first quarter, scoring 19
points in the initial period. The
Bears played on the defensive
most of the night and never
threatened the Carthage goal
line. However the Timpson
eleven *tigbtened their belts
for the remaining three quar-
ters, holding the’BulldogB to
one touchdown. The Carthage
second stringers entered the
game playing most of the sec-
ond quarter. din the second
half the Bulldog first stringers

wall and their scoring machine
dwindled a little. The Bears as
well as the local fans had all
the steam knocked out of them
in the opening minutes of the
game and conceded the fact
that the Carthage boys had too
much drive, speed and power
for the Timpson eleven to
cope with.
One of the outstanding tilts
of the season in the local con-
ference will be unreeled in
Carthage Wednesday night,
Nov. 26, between the unde-
feated teams of Jasper and
Carthage in a game that will
determine the conference win-
ner.

‘That unity was essential to
winning the war. ;We need to
re-establish that unity to win
the peace."
Commander O’Neil urged
particularly that Legionnaires
search out unaffiiiated veter-
ans in their communities in
making their Good Neighbor
Day calls.
“The American Legion is
the logical organization to
strengthen the bonds of na-
a stiff tional unity,” he stated. ‘T± is
an all-inclusive organization.
It makes no distinction of race,
color, birth, class, religious
creed hr political belief. It re-
quires only tested love of coun-
try. It is the ideal vehicle
through which community ties
can be strengthened to make
firmer the bonds of national
unity.
“The war veteran is the
common denominator between
the populace and The Ameri-
can Legion.- The American
Legion is his heritage and his
great opportunity for high ser-
vice. All Legionnaires should

Community Growth
and Development
A bank's usefulness tc the community in which it is
domiciled is largely dependent upon its disposition to
serve.. Practically all banks have available lendable
funds but there must exist a desire, on the part of custo-
dians of money, to channel lendable dollars into produc-
tive avenues if a community is to enjoy its fullest meas-
ure of growth and development.
We have attempted, here at our bank, to bring about
a merger between financial capacity and disposition to
serve. Thus we welcome each opportunity that presents
itself to render wholesome service to residents of this
