THE PANHANDLE HERALD PANHANDLE, CARSON COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1942
Sane Use oi
Is Asked of
Due to “freezing” of asphalt
material by Federal agencies, re-
sulting in curtailed maintenance
of highways, James G. Lott, dis-
trict engineer of the Texas High-
way department, requests the co-
operation of county officials,
county agricultural agents, the
department of public safety and
the press in providing the public
with the following information.
In order to provide the neces-
sary asphalt for construction of
army training camps, air bases,
defense plants and other war
activities, the petroleum coordina-
tor has restricted the use of as-
phalt to military installations
and the strategic military high-
way network.
As a result of this restriction,
no asphalt is available for patch-
ing of holes, cuts or other damag-
ed conditions developing on the
major portion of the highway
mileage in this district. Therefore,
the Texas Highway Department
will not be able to maintain the
highways at the standard to
which the traveling_ public has
become accustomed in the past.
The attention of the traveling
public is directed to these con-
ditions and it is urged that the
highway users be patient and
that they exercise the fullest care
possible in driving over highways
so that wear or damage to tires
as a result of depreciated road
conditions will be held to a min-
imum.
The particular attention of
farmers and other individuals
who find it necessary to trans-
port equipment or implements
along or across highways is dir-
ected to these conditions. Their
fullest cooperation is requested
in handling equipment in such a
manner that damage to highways
will be avoided. Damage to as-
phalt surfaces through careless-
ness or unlawful operation is not
only subject to legal action and
fine, but is definitely unpatriotic
at this time when asphalt' for re-
is not available to care for the
damage. Farmers and other oper-
ators in general have been very
cooperative, but some individuals
persist in violating the laws in
this matter. It will be necessary
to taek full legal action against
violators in the future.

membership plans. Talks were
made by Hill, Rev. A. C. Aston,
Rev. T. R. 'Paden and The Herald
editor. On Dec. 11, Hill, Satter-
white and Alford Ramey went to
Groom to arrange for the drive.
Hill and Judge A. L. Squire went
to White Deer the following day
to start plans for the drive there.
Goal is to have every person over
10 years old a member of the Red
Cross.
Plans were made to have a
lighted candle in the window of
every home with Red Cross mem-
bers on Christmas eve. Candles
are to burn from 7:30 to 9 p. m.
Church bells to ring every half
hour. Red Cross workers are to
sing Christmas carols on the
street Christmas eve.
Women Knit Socks
The Dec. 14 Herald said that
the women soon took every pound
of yarn that was received recent-
ly and began knitting socks. A
shipment of 2,000 Red Cross
Christmas seals was received and
in two hours time, the lot was
sold to the merchants by Mrs.
Asbery A. Callaghan and Mrs. Roy
Carhart.
Announcement in the Christ-
mas issue of The Herald Dec. 21
said that 1425 members had been
obtained for the Red Cross and
that the ntfcnber would go over
1,500. Members joining Monday,
Dec. 17,_ the first day were 942
as follows: Panhandle, 429;
Groom, 12^; White Deer, 257,
and Conway, 130. Joining the se-
cond day were 364 m’embers as
follows: Panhandle, 174»j Groom,
79,; White Deer, 111, giving a
total of 1306 members for the
first two days, more than double
the quota. Total by Thursday
night was 1425. Early Monday
morning a Red Cross campaign
flag was displayed from every
business house in town. Charles
Wright, Santa Fe foreman, took
memberships from seven Mexi-
can laborers.
1647 Join Red Cross
The closing edition of The
Herald for 1917 stated that
1647 persons joined the Red
Cross as follows: Panhandle, 785;
Groom, 234^; White Deer, 472;
Conway, 56. Fifty per cent of the
$1647 will be retained here to
buy material for bandages, sweat-
ers, socks, etc., for soldier boys.
The goal of 10,000,000 for the
U; U was exceeded by 3,000,000.
“During this drive all citizens
with yellow streaks in their blood
veins were located and their
names are now on record and will
be placed on file in the war de-
partment at Washington,” The
Herald said. “Only a few of these
were found in Carson county, we
are proud to state, and among
them only a half dozen or so were
discourteous when approached for
memberships. Their names and
their manner toward Red Cross
workers have been made a mat-
ter of record.”
Rat Poisoning
Will Be Spread
Night Sept. 9
A delicious banquet will be
served to the rats of Carson coun-
ty on the night of Wednesday,
Sept. 9. Every bait of this deli-
cious rat food will be full of bar-
ium carbonate and no hungry
rat can resist the temptation to
partake of it.
Barium carbonate kills rats
and is fatal to other animals and
poultry. If directions in the pack-
age are followed, there is little
danger of poisoning anything ex-
cept rats. All baits uneaten by
rats must be picked up the follow-
ing morning and destroyed.
The bait for this campaign is
prepared under the direction of
Dewey Kennedy of the U. S. De-
partment of Interior and is sold
on a non-profit basis. Your part
bn the program is to secure and
yerve the bait on banquet night,
Sept. 9. Rats should not be both-
ered by placing baits before that
light as they become poison shy.
Remember rats are great tra-
veler^;- therefore, the coopera-
tion of everyone is necessary to
a successful poisoning campaign.
.Full instructions for baiting will
be found in each package of bait.

Watch Grass Fires
Fire Chief Warns
A plea for fire safety, issued
jointly by Fire Chief W. A. Mil-
ler and Marvin Hall, state fire in-
surance commissioner, points to
the extreme hazards created by
dry grass and weeds.
Chief Miller stated that vacant
lots covered with weeds and grass
at this time are a serious menace
to all surrounding buildings.
“Because fire can be started
easily in such places,” he said,
“we must exercise extreme cau-
tion to prevent fires due to care-
lessness. Grass fires spread rap-
idly, and can easily result in
excessive damage to adjacent
property.
“If we make certain that all
matches, cigars and cigarettes are
‘blacked out’ before they are
discarded, we can prevent many
fires. Make certain that children
do not have an oportunity to play
with matches. Avoid starting any
kind of fire where there may be
a chance of it spreading to grass
covered lots.
“However, if a grass fire is
discovered, lose no time in turn-
ing in an alarm. Don’t give it a
chance to spread before calling
the fire department.”
Commissioner Hall reported
that grass fires have shown an
alarming increase over the state
during the past few days.
"Fire hazards created by dry
grass are more serious now than
in several years,” Hall declared.
“This is true in both city and
rural areas, and it presents a
problem for every fire department
in Texas.
“We can ill afford the cost of
a ‘scm*ched earth policy’ at a
time when all our resources are
needed by our armed forces and
the forces of the United Nations.
It behooves all of us to prevent
the outbreak of every fire.”
Mr, and Mrs. Grady Rogers and
daughter of Amarillo visited in
Panhandle Sunday with friends.
Rogers was formerly a pharma-
cist at Bussey Drug ifi 193 2-33
and is now employed at the Pan-
tex Ordnance plant.
