Reading the papers this week hero are some items which have me dazed. Of course the heat is oppressive and may affect my under standing. Likewise it may affect the gentlemen who talk to reporters. During last week I read: on Mon day—gasoline is short, growing short er, and no relief is in sight or in prospect; or must wo even hope for more gasoline. I^iat came from some one in Washington, either Mr. Ickes, or some one speaking for that general over-all control. On Tuesday Donald Nelson gave us words of cheer. Well, where are we? Words- of cheer aren’t good fuel for cars, but are we to stop there? If so, the O.P.A. would do a service by rationing wprds of cheer. Then I read of the army of ci vilians, or group of armies, employed by the War department. Senator Byrd turned the light on them, ar well as on the multitude of civilians in other services. The senator demanded that the government release 300,000 civil ians. The statement was made in a national journal of great respecta bility that the War department had promised to release 100,000 employes before the end of the year. I mar veled at it, but there it was in black and white. The same week came a statement that the War department urgently needs 200,000 more! In fact, it may be a pity that Senator Byrd are contemplating the comparative appeal of frogs, snails, rats, dogs, horses, crows and snakes, The New York Times tells us of a hoarding of beef cattle; tells us that one half the Mrs Florence Ervin of Clearwater |by members of the Homemakers club, will occur before July 13—which will SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRON1CLB visited her daughter, Mrs. Mark Sat- Lf^onade was served by the courtesy' * terfield, and Mr. Satterfield the past ^ Lydia Mill. week-end for all ages were enjoyed with prizes A number of games and contests i from various Clinton firms present- BANK STATEMENT BANK STATEMENT ■ ■ ■■■ I , .M ...A,. - — Mr. and Mrs. Earl Abercrombie and children visited the former’s mother, Mrs. Lula Abercrombie, in e d the winners.
