Total Rainfall
For Last Year •
Was 46.5 Inches
January 1942
Rainfall Is Less
Than Half Inch
The total rainfall in Graham
during 1941 has been announced
as 461 inches, an average of near-
ly four inches a month for the
twelve month period.
Starting off the new year how-
ever, the total for January was
only .40 of an inch and is some-
thing compared to last year. Jan-
uary 1941 started off slow how-
ever, as only .74 of an inch' was
measured for the period of last
year. -
So far as is known, this,. total
for 1941 is an all time high for a
twelve month period in Graham.

as to the hours, whether new or

Many businesses will not be af-

changed in hours. Many businesses
stay open from daylight to dark

The banks, dry goods stores, gro-

still have not designated their

all will cooperate in the change

Following the final sentiment

CANDY BOX PLAN
EVANSTON, 111., Feb. 2.—Ask-
ing all the women of the nation to
join them in seeing that there’ll
be no forgotten men in the U. S.
military sertieea on SL Valen-
tine’s Day, National W.C.T.U. to-
day announced a “candy box plan”
as a special defense project.
White Ribbonera throughout
the nation will send candy to sol-
diers, sailors and marines for St.
Valentine’s Day.
As those women with family
members or friends in the service
probably already have planned a
Valentin’s Day gift, the W.C.T.U.
asks that an additional box be
sent to take care of the “forgot-
ten men.”
The W.C.TiU. will send its
cfcndy to the nearest military camp
in care of the chaplain, who will
handle distribution.
Cooperators were advised to
send hard candy, which will keep
fresh longer and won’t crush so
easily in\ shipping. Half-pound
boxes werp recommended for In-
dividuals or larger boxes and cans
for general distribution.

“Only recently, in n Texas -pit* - ■

newspapers had published an-
nouncements stating that social „
security account numbers should
in no case be accepted for such

Mr Surles emphasized that the
Social Security Board has made a
pledge to all working people that

“This pledge,” he continued, “has
