PUT OVER NATIONAL WAR FUND
This is the week set aside for the Nati-
onal War Fund campaign for Carson county.
A goal of $6,200.00 has been set with $5,100.00
td go toi the National fund, $500.00 to the Boy
Sepilfs ;and4$00a3h to . the Girl Scouts.
In most counties it is not customary to in-
clude in the campaign funds for local activi-
ties. Inclusion of Girl and Boy Scouts in the
Carson county campaign should meet with
universal approval.
The need is great for the National War
Fund, which includes all the organizations do-
ing war work. Chief interest of most people
is the U. S. U. work, which nas beeh so popu-
lar with service men.
With the fighting over in World War II,
millions of men have more time to take ad-
vantage of U. S. O. services. Americans must
not fail them and thev must raise the War
Fund.
The Texas campaign is being-conducted
by the United War Chest of Texas. Every
campaign has gone over in a big way, riot
only in Texas, but in the nation.
Asbery A. Callaghan, county chairman,
has selected a competent group of commun-
ity workers. Let’s show our appreciation of
the time they are giving in public service to
make our contributions promptly. If the
workers do not see you quick enough, mail
your check or bring it to headquarters.
Remember the slogan; “Sure! I’ll Take
a Texan’s Share.” Following the spirit of;
the slogan written by Governor Coke Steven-
son will assure success of Carson county’s
drive.

ried| his mother died before he
was oMJ enough to remember her.
There were. no ties to bind and
Frank moved on at will.
“I have had lots of experience
with stampedes. They always
come at night. Lightning, rain
or .any slight noise or movement
easily provoked one. When 3000
headi1 of .cattle become frightened
it? was? impossible to hold them.
They took off like mad demons
and there wasn’t much a cowboy
could do but; wait till morning and
go round them up. Lots of cattle
were lost during stampedes.
Fought Range Fire
“Range files were hard to han-
dle. If ought one for three days
and nights ih Montana. One time,
a fire got started from a
washing at- the northeast edge of
Pdrihaudle and bun|ad a strip
from 3; to 5 miles wide and 25
miles long. ; All1 the .people from
Panhandle came out and > fought
It. There were no houses in its
path; mine was about the closest,
and it was about three miles out
of-the fire’s path.”
Fihnk Owens looks at the prps-
pei'btis 'Country from Fort Worth
to Panhandle and remembers the
day - when all this territory was
wide open country. He says that
everything from here to Fort
Worth has been built since he
first came along.
Three times he worked his way
from Panhandle into Montana
and Wyoming, but each time he
returned. He is as native to the
range as the mesquite grass is to
the plains. His eyes have grown
dim and his strength frail but his
love for ;the life of a cowboy has
not relented.
i He has recently returned to his
*home in Panhandle after spending
many weeks in the Davidson hotel.
The old friends of the range and
their younger sons have not for-
gotten Frank; Often they call and
bring anew, the sunshine into the
life of him who was a son of the
range, and who will be 85 years
old Oct 15.

is no word for “home.” “House,”
