Mobile Blood Bank
Unit Coming To
Delta County Soon
In answer to numerous in-
quiries about blood donor regis-
tration, I have this information.
I visited the center in Dallas on
Wednesday, March 15, and con-
ferred wiih the officials there.
Due to the increased casualty
list on the front, a number of
the purses and doctors have
been called to assist in caring
for them. This has delayed the
work of the Mobile Unit, but I
was given positive assurance that
they would visit Delta county
some time in the future, possibly
within the next 30 to 60 days.

WASHINGTON, March
Members of the house banking
committee opened a new attack
today on what they call govern-
ment by executive order, and
this time it was directed at Pres-
ident Roosevelt’s plan for hand-
ling surplus war materials.
Republicans on the committee
who have been openly critical of
administration agencies were
joined in the surplus goods con-
troversy by Representative Pat-
man (Dem.) of Texas, who said
there is a definite purpose to
establish the disposal agency “by
law,” and not by executive or-
der.
DOYCE HOWARD PICKENS
Conformation of the death of
Doyce Newton Pickens, S 1/c,
reported missing nearly a year
ago, has been received by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Pickens in Dallas.
The information was very in-
definate as they failed to men-
tion the name of his ship and
only stated that the ship was tor-
pedoed and sunk in the Artie
Ocean. They reported previous-
ly that he was lost in the North
Atlantic. So we are still not in-
formed any more than that the
Navy Department reports him
officially dead.
He enlisted in the navy May
12, 1942, went to Great Lakes
for his boot training. He was
there some nine wdeks. He then

Farmers Asked To
Sign Up Work Sheets
1944 has probably seen more
changes in the farm program,
than any year since its begin-
ning. The suspension of market-
ing quotas in 1943 started an
avalanche of changes that, for a
time, prevented us from letting
you know just what kind of a
program would be offered in
1944. However, the program has
now been announced, and farm
plan sheets are ready to be filled
out.
Community committeemen,
county committeemen, and repre-
sentatives of the county AAA of-
fice have your 1944 farm plan
sheet at the AAA office. Please

BRIEF FACTS ABOUT RED
CROSS HOME SERVICE
Home service for families of
men in thi armed forces is the
greatest single responsibility in
the American Red Cross today.
The problems which come to
chapters for solution run the
gamut of human difficulties—
sickness, injury, trouble with the
law, marital crises. Some of the
requests come from the service-
men themselves. Others are re-
layed through Red Cross Field oomedv
Directors and hospital medical1
social service workers, both here
and overseas.

The car of milk came in,
freight prepaid from Milwaukee.
It was unloaded in Hempstead
February 22-23. There were 999
cases—48 cans of 14 1-2 oz. per
can to the case—more than 43,

Waller county is a rural coun-
ty. Its 1943 population was put
at 9,880 by the U. S. Census.
Hempstead, biggest town, is
about 1,500. There is ample
opportunity for cows in Waller
county.
We know school children
should have milk. But should the
Federal government in this time
of extreme war cost give away
a carload of condensed milk?
Particularly should it give a car-
load of milk in any county
where the population is primar-
ily agricultural and could pro-
vide its own milk? Should the
■federal government give away
anything when the people can
afford to buy it?
And is milk really so scarce
when the federal government can
give it away in carload lots?
