good day at the Methodist Church.

is supreme and there is no place
for make believe or unbelief in
the activities in any citizen.

full attendance.

RED CROSS
NOTES
The Carson County Chapter of
the American Red Cross is nearing
completion of a year of active
war work.
As your production chairman,
I want to express my sincere ap-
preciation of the valuable assist-
ance and co-operation given me.
I have enjoyed the work, real-
izing, as all those who have con-
tributed, that our efforts and
sacrifices are so small in com-
parison to those who are actually
engaged in the fighting, or, who
have suffered in the war areas.
. The women and men of Carson
county have contributed so lib-
erally of their time and money;
tlje response for help and assist-
ance was always, immediately
forthcoming.
Since it will be impossible for
me to thank each of you person-
ally, I want to take this oppor-
tunity of expressing my gratitude
for your help and assistance.
Had it not been for your loyal
support, we could not have reach-
ed our goal.

STREAMLINE APPEALS
FOR TRUCK OWNERS
Procedure for handling appeals
on certificates of war necessity
has been streamlined for faster
service to the commercial vehicle
operator, stated N. F. Nelscfci,
district manager for motor trans-
port, in a communication to the
Carson County Farm Transpor-
tation Committee.
The thirty-day waiting period
originally required before an ap-
peal might be filed has been sus-
pended.' Carriers are urged, how-
ever, not appeal unless it is im-
possible to carry on necessary
operations.
Operators may now send in
their applications with a letter
of explanation and are promptly
furnished with the appeal form
on which to supply the inform-
ation to show their needs justify
increased operations allowances.
Farriers and ranchmen should
appeal through the farm transpor-
tation committees of their U. S.
Department of Agriculture county
war boarde. All other operators
should write the district office at
1008 Fisk Building Amarillo.
Time will be saved by mailing
the forms in promptly after re-
ceipt and filling them in. All
applications will be handled as
quickly as possible.
