U. S. 0. CAMPAIGN
IN COUNTY IS
OVER THE TOP
$1011.04 Raised In
Drive; Quota of $650
Mailed June 1
The Carson county U. S. 0
drive has been completed this
week with the exception of Skelly-
town which has not yet reported,
Asbery A. Callaghan, county
chairman, said yesterday.
The final figures of the drive
in Carson county show that this
county went considerably over
the $650 assigned quota. In fact,
$6 51 was sent in to the regional
headquarter before June 1. The
remainder of the funds will bo
held in an account here for fu-
ture calls, Callaghan said.
Jay Taylor, regional chairman,
"wrote Callaghan the following
letter Tuesday:
“Congratulations to you and
those who helped you in success-
fully completing the U.S.O. cam-
paign in Carson county. The
fine work you did on this cam-
paign is a great tribute to the
boys giving cheir lives for thier
country.
“You and I as civilians may be
justly proud of the part we are
playing in providing good whole-
some entertainment for them
when their days work is over at
the camp”.
A pleasant surprise in the cam-
paign was* a check form the Hum-
ble Oil and Refining Co. for $50
to aid in the Carson county quota.
This money was added into the
Panhandle total.
Contributions from the various
communities of the county are
listed by Callaghan as follows:
Panhandle $604.15
White Deer 150.60
Conway 59.00
Groom 125.54
American, Phillips and
Gulf Camps 71.54
TOTAL
$1011.04
The county workers are very
pleased with the results of the
drive, which were beyond their
expectations. All the people were
eager to cooperate and helped
to put the campaign over in a big
way.
“All of the workers wish to
express their appreciation for the
fine response of the citizens of
this county,” Callaghan said.
The honor roll for the week is

be taken or mailed to the- Cer-

guests ot the Junior Chamber of

Thursday.
The program was turned over

ents and explained some of the
points regarding the contest.

store in Amarillo, on the policies
of his company and the history
of the pig program.
Slips with numbers which cor-
responded with numbers on the
pigs were drawn by the boys
and delivery was made immed-
iately following the program. The
pigs were penned on the vacant
lot just north of the First Na-

meeting were Bobby Britten,

Woman Is Missing
In The Philippines
Mrs. Ruth Perry, home demon-
stration agent, has received in-
formation that her brother, Lieut.
Fred Evans, who was with the
cavalry in the Philippines, is
missing.
Whether he was killed in ac-
tion or has been taken prisoner
by the Japanese has not been
determined yet by military auth-
orities.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. McCollough
are the parents of a girl, born
at 7:40 Tuesday morning in an

Applicants For
Construction Jobs
Should List Names
Persons wishing work on the
construction of the Pantex Ord-
nance plant should list their
names and telephone numbers
with Mrs. Eva Craig at the court
house as soon as possible.
A call yesterday for several
workers from the 'Panhandle ter-
ritory could not he filled because
the whereabouts of the available
persons was not known.
Listing of names with Mrs.
Craig will not mean that the
worker will be called but it will
give a channel through which
local workers may be contacted
in case additional calls are made
from this area.
The construction companies
are anxious to employ as many
workers as possible from the list
of local applicants, and Mrs. Craig
and other persons are ready to
act as contacting agents for Pan
handle.
All workers are being handled
through the U. S. Employment
Service but that agency cannot
attempt to notify each person in-
dividually when he is needed for
work. They will, however, notify
at least one person in the city
and Mrs. Craig has agreed to han-
dle this work.

HAIL DAMAGE I S
HEAVY IN AREA
AROUND CITY
County Average Cut 35
Per Cent Most Grain
Buyers Believe
Rain and hail caused an esti-
mated 20 to 3 5 per cent loss to
wheat fields in Carson county
last week end with damage rang-
ing from 5 to 100 per cent on
most of the farms in this area.
The heaviest loss was report-
ed in the territory south and east
of Panhandle in a storm Satur-
day night with farmers in that
vicinty reporting total losses. The
other damage was scattered over
most of the middle and west Of
the county Saturday night.
A hail storm Friday night be-
tween White Deer and Groom al-
so damaged much of the wheat
in that area with many farmers
reporting a complete loss.
Rain Saturday night varied
from only a trace in the northern
part of the county to around 13
inches on the Mike Britten farm
north of Lark. At Panhandle the-
rainfall was guaged at 4.33
inches and over 8 inches of mois-
ture fell Saturday night at the
Gulf tank farm two miles east
of the city.
The hail losses were reported
from Geo. Williams farm south of
'Panhandle to the Cliff Hawkins
farm north of this city. L. F.
Cleek reported nearly a total loss
on his farm south of Panhandle
and lossess of the same propor-
tion were reported up to the city
limits of Panhandle.
Much damage was done to gar-
dens and trees in the city itself
during the Saturday night storm
which lasted about three hours.
A total loss was reported on the
section farmed by Ike Scott just
west of Panhandle and Frank
Ware said he suffered about 25
per cent damage on his place west
of the city. Heavier losses were
reported on sections three or four
miles west of Panhandle but the
hail seemed to have been less in
the northwest section.
Some of those reporting total
losses on farms were: John Stone,
W. C. Gordon, Everett Gaston, O.
Meaker, Geo. Milton, Carl Met-"*"
calf, Chas Heaston, Earl and
Marian Cox, F. A. Tate, Van Car-
ter. Stanley Lawrence, Mrs. Iva
Pullen, Howard Broadaway, Geo.
Rohan, Mrs. S. G. Bobbitt, Chet-,
McCray, and Henry Plaiduk.
Chas. Lemons reported that he
had a total loss on quite a bit of
his acreage and all in all would
represent about 50 per cent dam-
age.
Geo. Knittel said that he had
quite a bit of damage on the
north side of his place south of
Panhandle. Geo. Williams, who
lives across the road, reported
some damage to his wheat also.
W. W. Evans was said to have
had a very heavy loss on his land,
south of Panhandle as the hail
flattened much of the crop and
damaged the other portions bad-
ly.
John Apel reported that he had
about 7 5 per cent damage on his
farm east of Panhandle.
John Howe reported loss on
both his home place and the farm
west of Panhandle.
W. J. Morris said that about
half of his wheat had been dam-
aged, some of it almost a total
loss.
Robert Lemons reported from
10 to 20 per cent damage on his
place he is farming.
Dennis Elder said that he had
only received about a 5 per cent
loss and only a little moisture
from the Saturday night fall.
Pete Biggs reported about a
25 per cent loss at his farm.
Some grain men said that they
believed the loss to harvesting in
the Panhandle area would amount
to around 100 cars of wheat or
about one third of the normal
crop.
No hail was reported in the
Conway community during the
week and some spots in the north,
and east section from Panhandle
reported no hail.
