DEPORT, LAMAR COUNTY, TEXAjS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1944
NUMBER «
DeportVLivestock, Swine and Poultry
Show Most Successful and Enjoyable
More than 2000 people were in De-
port last Friday for the livestock,
swine and poultry show conducted
by raisers of this area and financed
by Deport merchants.
The show opened with a saddle
horse parade in which 162 riders
participated, many of the mounts
with ladies up. It was led by Lee
Lawler and Buck Mathews, carry-
ing large American flags, and fol-
lowed by the Deport fire truck, load-
ed with Deport’s school band under
the direction of Corry Bell.
“I didn’t know there were that
many good saddle horses and saddles
in both Lamar and Red River coun-
ties,” remarked a visitor. “There are
more cattle in these two counties
per acre than any part of West Tex-
as,” replied the editor.
Mrs. Cora Hobbs of Halesboro,
rode the Only side saddle in the
parade. To the youngsters it was a 1
real curosity. Few had ever seen ^
one. i

Texas’ quota is $414,000,000, and
is said to be based upon bank de-
posits.
Lamar county’s quota is $1,625,000

I bonds. This is a reduction from the
Fifth War Loan, when the over-all
quota for the county was $1,820,000.
Red River county’s quota is $470,-
000. That is a lot of money, but with
success crowning efforts of our arm-
ed forces in both war theatres of
operation it is believed the neces-
sary amount will be promptly sub-
scribed. Neither this community,
county nor the state has failed to
meet asigned quotas.

The citation, signed by Maj. Gen.
John E. Dahlquist, Commanding Of-
ficer, reads as follows: “Bruce Jones,
Technician Fifth Grade, 736th Ord-
nance (LM) Company, for heroism
on 15th and 16th of August, 1944, in
France. When, in the invasion of
Southern France, a landing craft was
hit squarely by a radio-controlled
bomb from an enemy plane, thc
ship exploded, then grounded on a
sand bar 50 yards from shore. Ig-
noring the dangers of exploding am-
munition and burning .oil, Tech. 5
Jones jumped into the water and |
made his way to the survivors. Work-
ing indefatigably under constant
strain, he carried the injured men
out of the water to a place of safety
on the shore. After making several
of the hazardous, exhausting trips
to thc burning ship, he assisted in
administering first aid to the wound-
ed and in evacuating them to the
aid station.”
Corporal Jones is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. C. F. Jones of R2 Paris.
He has been overseas 20 months
serving with the 36th Division in
North Africa, Italy and France.
Post 45 is more than 125. These
veterans are scattered throughout
the county. Every ^Legionnaire will
be asked to carry out a definite as-
signment in this big campaign.

to urge readers to buy bonds. These
ads are underwritten by local mer-
chants and others who serve this
community. Please read them close-
ly as they appear and obey that im-
pulse—buy bonds—buy them till it
