ciate you tellin the experts from
Austin to Washington that with
all the things they got to worry
about they can ease their minds
when it comes to worryin about
me producin too much. I stopped
wearin out my soil years ago, not
so much on account of what it
was doin t«< the soil as what it
was doin to me. If there’s any-
thing I can do, it’s hold the line
when it comes to gettin over-en-
thusiastic about plowin. Me and
the experts see eye to eye on
that.
And if it don’t rain around
here, my neighbors may not pro-
duce any more this year than I
do, and I’m frank to say there
ain’t no nation on earth can win
a war on that sort of production.
Yours faithfully, A. A.
Reports coming to the National
Better Business Bureau indicate
that many women are being ter-
ribly upset by men selling cook-
utensils house-to-house, who are
telling them that the aluminum
cooking utensils in their homes
are bad for their health and
should be thrown away.
These salesmen even make mis-
leading boiling tests to show an
apparently clouded condition of
water boiled in aluminum.
The National Better Business
Bureau states that these rumors
being spread and these tricky
tests are entirely^ false and mis-
leading. Prominent health au-
thorities, such as the American
Medical Association, state that
there is absolutely no truth what-
soever in them. The Federal
Trade Commission has branded
such statements as false and its
findings have been sustained by
the court. So, ladies, be warned.
Don’t throw away your alum-
inum cooking utensils on the ad-
vice of some salesman who tries
to interest you in some competi-
tive cooking utensils. Aluminum
cooking utensils are entirely safe
and if you have the slightest
doubt—ask your family physi-
cian or your local health depart-
ment.

Men 19 > Tomato Planting
To 26 Face Army ; Is On Increase
Service Soon
Bishop Martin to
Speak Friday
Night at Paris
WASHINGTON—Selective Ser-
vice Director Lewis B. Hershey
said Monday new regulations are
“in the works” for a draft of mar-
ried men aged 19 to 26 who have
no children.
Hershey said an order has been
drafted for the approval of Pres-
ident Trutnan and defense man-
power agencies which would can-
cel present deferments for men
with one dependent.
Hershey tdld the House Armed
Services Committee of the pro-
Right now it looks like there
is an increase of 10 to 15 per cent
of tomato plantings in hotbeds in
East Texas, according to J. F. Ros-
borough, Horticultural Marketing
Specialist. This seems to indi-
cate a slight increase in the East
Texas tomato areas, except in the
Avery and DeKalb sections.
Many farmers of the Avery and
DeKalb regions are taking indus-
trial employment, which may cut
down on production in these im- B*sh°Ps
mediate areas.
The schedule of tomato plant-
ings will call fed" transplanting
tomatoes from hotbeds in early
po*ed order during hearings on a »March> where the plants will
f Universal Military Ser-igrow jn coldframes at field loca-
ld Training. ■ tions until early April,
bill would make 18-year- | Transplanting to the fields will
subject to the draft. Some be done in early April in order
members have been in-
sisting that young married men
ought to be drafted ahead of 18-
year-olds.
Extending the draft to married
meh in the 19-26 age bracket can
be done without legislation. All
that is required is an executive
order from the President.
Hershey told the committee the
proposed order would limit de-
pendency deferments to:
1. Men with one or more chil-
dren,
that the crop movement can be
ready for June shipments.
Many East Texas growers are
producing pink tomatoes for lo-
cal consumption for nearby mar-
kets. Pink tomatoes are those
which are carried to maturity on
the vine, and are ready for con-
sumption in 24 to 72 hours after
they are shipped by the grower.
Chain stores are becoming in-
terested in this type of tomato
because of better quality and de-
I creased handling charges.
2. Men with a wife and chil-
dren, and
JS. Men with more than one de-
pendent. This could be, for in-
~ •—>, an aged parent and an in-
sister.
ty said he was virtually
the interested manpower
agencies would approve the or-
der. He said he had been work-
ing closely with the secretary of
labor and the secretary of de-
fense. I£ they endorse it, Presi-
dent Truman presumably will
approve it.
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga.) told
Hershey he thought selective ser-
vice should reach draft-eligible
men who have been deferred be-
cause they are serving in Na-
tional Guard or active reserve
units.
Of 26 National Guard divisions
only six have been called into
ederal service and “hundreds of
of guardsmen are not
to selective service,
said.
Since 1945 East Texas green
wrap tomato shipments have
declined approximately 40 per
cent. Large buyers in Eastern
markets are claiming that the
green wrap tomato deal in East
Texas, which is jeopardized by
harvesting tomatoes too green, is
on the decline. .
Other states, such as Arkansas,
South Carolina, Alabama and
Florida are increasing the ship-
ments of pink tomatoes into East-
ern markets with a favorable ac-
ceptance of this new method of
sale.

“Come away from there!” the

“Gosh,” said the city boy, “do

The general public, regardless

invited to hear Bishop Paul E.

The bishop has recently complet-

Bishop Martin is a native of this
area, having been born and rear-

The More He BREAKS
Knoxville, Tenn.—Hearing dogs
barking and a voice, Mrs. Mary
Reynolds fired a .22 caliber rifle
without warning into a wood near
her home. Five minutes later, Mrs.
Reynolds learned that the shot
she fired had struck a 14-year old
high school boy, who was setting
out rabbit traps. A companion of
the youth summoned aid, but the
boy, Joe Allen, was dead when he
reached a hospital.
The More He MAKES
Texas motorists, Texas high-
ways and Texas taxpayers
should be protected against
the ONE PER CENTERS.
ONE PER CENTERS are truck
combinations weighing, load-
ed, 20,000 pounds or more.
Only one of every 100 vehicles
registered in Texas pays a li-
cense fee for 20,000 pounds or
more. FEWER than three out
of every 1,000 are registered
for more than 40,000 pounds.*
Our highways should be
SAFE for ALL the people-in-
dividuals, commercial users
and the military alike.
Texas highway tax dollars
should be conserved and used
wisely. This can be done
* Texas highways are paid for
by and belong to ALL THE
PEOPLE. Highways adequate
for 99% of Texas users-indi-
vidual and commercial-can
be constructed and maintained
for about ONE-THIRD of the
by the
cost made necessary
weight of the ONE PER CENT-
ERS.*
This is your problem. Send
for your copy of the booklet,
"THE CASE OF THE ONE PER
