WINSTON — KAFFENBERGER
Miss Annie Laurie Winston,
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. W. D.
Winston of Moscow, was married
to Mr, F. Howard Kaffenberger
of Houston, son of Mrs. Eleanor
Brown Kaffenberger. at 8:00 P.
M. Saturday at the home of the
bride's sister. Mrs. L. L. Parrish,
in Livingston. Rev. J. W. Reed
officiated.
The improvised altar at the fire
place was banked by baskets of
white gladiola against a back-
ground of fern and smtlax vines.
White candles in sliver candelabra
were placed on the mantle.
Miss Nora Maude Parrish, niece
of the bride, played the wedding
march.
The bride, given in marriage by
her father, wore a poudre blue
strutter cloth with hand tucked
jacket and white accessories. She
wore a corsage of stephanotis.
Her twin sister. Miss Bessie
Laurie Winston, was her only at-
tendant. She wore a twin suit in
beige with tan and white accessor-
ies and a corsage of sweet heart
roses.
Elwood Obenhaus was best man.
The bride’s mother wore black
sheer with white carnation cor-
sage.
A reception was held immediate-
ly following the ceremony. The
lace laid table was adorned wtttt
white carnations, the tiered wed-
ding cake on a mirror reflector
and white tapers in crystal hold-
ers. Miss Helen Marie Winston,
niece or the bride, served punch.
The couple left later for a wed-
ding trip to New Orleans, after
which they will live in Houston.

CLINTON MOFFETT IS
CARRIED TO HOSPITAL
We regret to report that Clin-
ton Moffett, who has been ill for
several days, was carried to the
Camden Hospital yesterdny even-
ing and his many friends feel un-
easy about him. Bergman's ambu-
lance carried him to Dr. Potts’
office for ex-ray pictures and then
tt was decided that he should go
qp to the hospital.
More paper has been made
than has been used to date by the
Government and the general pub-
lic. As a result, paper is plenti-
ful. The Government is using
large amounts of paper in its ef-
fort to win the war but some of
the public thinks that it is unpat-
riotic to use paper for fear of
bringing about a shortage. Act-
ually, there is less likelihood of a
shortage of paper than in most
commodities you can name.
Using paper is not unpatriotic
and it does not interfere in any
way with the war effort. The Gov-
ernment controls pulp and some
other chemicals and materials
used In paper making and ear-
marks for Its own use the amounts
rapuired before providing for civ-
ilian requirements. So far there
has been more than ample sup-
plies and machines to make paper
for both the Government and civ-
ilian needs.
Curtailing the use of paper is
more likely to hinder the war ef-
fort than to help it. Paper is the
lubricant of production Our in-
dustrial machine cannot run as
smoothly without it. Our national
MEETING BEGINS
HERE NEXT SUNDAY
The revival meeting at Corrigan
Baptist Church will begin Sunday,
July 12th at 11:00 A.M,
Rev. J. Vernon Wheeles of Sour
Lake will do the preaching and
Rev. W. A. Cockrell of Amelia,
former pastor of the local church,
will assist and have charge of the
arrangements.
Definite decision as to what
hour the morning services would
be held, had not been reached as
the paper goes to press but post-
ers will be printed later in the
week giving this information.
The Baptist Church has not had
a regular pastor since Rev. Gid-

Plans are being made, and will
probably be completed today at
the Lions Club meeting to stage
a giant "Junk Rally’’ hi Corrigan,
John H. Carter is chairman of
ihe committee and he and his
co-workers are anxious to secure
the cooperation of every individ-
ual in the North end of Polk coun-
ty in the drive.
The campaign, to secure every
available piece of scrap iron and
steel, is a patriotic contribution
to the war effort and is sponsored
by the American Industries Sal-
vage Committee and has the en-
dorsement of the War Production
Board,
The date and program of tha
local rally will probably be work-
ed out today and next weeks paper
will carry full details.
Mr. Carter has handled the rub-
ber collection in Corrigan in an
admirable manner, he having col-
lected some sixty-two thoulsand
ppunds so far, and the scrap Iron
drive should net many times that
number of pounds.

Bascom Giles, Commissioner of
the General Land Office, made his
formal announcement today for
re-election. In reporting on his
conduct of that important consti-
tutional state office, he pledges
Qontinued honest, efficient, and
faithful service to the people.
Soon after becoming Commis-
sioner of the General Land Office,
Mr. Giles submitted a number of
recommendations to the Legisla-
ture that he had advocated in his
campaign, which body put his re-
commendations into law. His out-
standing accomplishments are the
passage and administration of a
law which ended vacancy racket-
eering and title clouding and gave
the good-faith claimant or home
owner a prior right to purchase
the land when a vacancy is dis-
covered; and the creation of the
School Land Board to administer
the public school lands of Texas.
Commissioner Giles is chairman
of this board and a member of
the Board for Lease of University
Lands; throughout his service
there has not been a dissenting
vote on either board. He has
served on the School Land Board
with two Texas governors and
one attorney general.
Commissioner Giles secured the
passage of a law to increase the
down payment on new purchases
of school lands from one-fortieth
to one-fifth. Another law he ad-
vocated was the extension until
1951, of the payment of principal
on lands that had been previously
sold, thus assuriug the school fund
a long-time steady income. The
laws passed on his recommenda-
tions have made it possible for
Commissioner Giles to increase
the Public School Fund to more
than $75,000,000.
Mr. Giles has completed new
state abstract volumes for publi-
cation, the first time since 1878;
and instead of 62 cumbersome
volumes, the 406;000 titles are
completed into eight compact vol-
umes, each one complete for a
district of the state.
Commissioner Giles said that hs
had received hundreds of highly
complimentary letters commend-
ing him for the prompt and effici-
ent service being rendered by tho
General Land Office which, he
said, is in a large measure due to
tile efforts and ability of his em-
ployees.
"I invite you who have not done
business with the Land Office dur-
ing my administration to ask any
of the 200,000 who have as to the
character of service we are ren-
dering," Commissioner Giles said.
