April 3, 1944.
Mr. Sam Holloway,
Editor, The Deport Times
Deport, Texas.
Dear Mr. Holloway:
Orchids to you and your Deport
Times!
For a number of years we have
been receiving your weekly news-
paper, and for a long time I have
been wanting to tell you how fine I
think it is. You sec, I’ve known all
along that it was exceptional, but
not until 1 delved into the field of
journalism myself did I really see
| its worth from a technical viewpoint.
I took a copy of The Times to my
typography and mechanics class one
day when I was attending North
Texas State just to see whether or
not my instructor agreed with me.
She was Miss Virginia Paty from
Paris. She held it up to the claks
as a very good example of what can
be done with a small town newspa-
per. She pointed out that the make-
up was interesting (no tomb stone
heads as many small town papers
are wont to employ), the type clear
and easily read, and above all, there
was news about everybody.
She especially complimented the
"Boys in Service” column and your
letter to those boys. As she is a good
journalist, I’m sure she didn’t com-
pliment that paper just to make me
feel happy about it!
Now that Mother and I have mov-
ed away from the old address, Ful
bright, we’re beginning to get “hun-
gry” for news of what’s going on
around the communities nearby. So,
will you please change our address
to the one above? Thank you and
best wishes to you and your staff,
Irene Bagley.
The Times is authorized to make the following announcements
subject to action of voters m the July Democratic primary:

Lovers of antiques need not wor-

Not even the wealthiest Socialist
would be willing to divide up un-
less he could keep the biggest half

Movie stars are finding out that
careers and marriage don’t mix, but
more of them give up their mates
rather than their careers.
Italian comment: Twenty years
of Mussolini, four years of war and
now Vesuvius. A single one of the
three is calamity enough.
General Green is rapidly invading
the lawns and gardens, a direct chal-

People in a big city deserve to

ber, 1919, by Ross Hughston, became

Jack William Haneley, son of Mr.

by the Japanese when Guam was
taken by the Japs, is now at home.
He escaped when the British sank
the ship on which the prisoners were
being carried to another prison
camp, later being picked up by the
British. In relating his story he
says “The Japanese are dogs; there
is nothing human about them.” He
said they had very litle food and it
was mostly rice.

For Opening: Their
Homes to Soldiers
Deport has always done whatever
she was called on to do without com-
plaint. That has been proven again
lately by the way you have opened
I your homes to these boys who are
'now training to fight for the free-
dom of our homes.
Somehow, we feel that when one
of these boys writes to his mother,
telling her “I live with a Mr and
Mrs. So-and-So, where I have a nice
place to rest,” this mother will al-
ways remember you in her prayers
and she will thank God that you
have been kind to her son.
The American Legion wants to
thank all of you who have been so
nice in sharing your home. We know
the one thought in your minds and
hearts is that this war will soon be
over so the boy can return to his
own home and family.
