In view of the fact that hundreds of

“missing in action,” the local Board urges
the sort of cooperation that would estab

CITY TO BEGIN WORK OF MOWING
VACANT LOTS WITHIN ITS LIMITS
At the regular meeting of the City
Council July 9th, provisions were made to
begin the work of mowing all vacant
lots within the limits of the city of Col
lege Station. All lots not mowed by that
time will be, mowed by the city and a
bill for this service will be rendered
to the owner of the property thus involved.
This action of the Council follows the pro
visions of a recently enacted ordinance
which provides that vacant lots shall be
mowed when in need of same and assesses
the penalty of a fine not to exceed $50.00
for each offense.
An agreement has been entered into by
the City Council of the city of College
Station and Mr. J. M. Miller to begin
this work Monday, July 30th and to pro
ceed until all vacant lots within the city
limits nave peen put in satisfactory condi
tion. The rate will be $1.00 per hour.

STATEMENT OF POLICY BY THE
RED CROSS EXECUTIVE BOARD
We recognize the American Red Cross
as a world society organized for the pur
pose of ministering to mankind in all
sorts of emergencies and calamities. Its
ministry is especially increased in time
of war, both to civilian population and to
soldiers in the armed forces.
The program of the Red Cross is car
ried on by volunteer workers, and this
program is open to any American citizen
regardless of class or race. It is financed
by volunteer subscriptions from our citi
zens.
The policy of the Red Cross is formed
by a National Executive Committee in
Washington of which the Hon. Norman
H. Davis is Chairman.
A Local Chapter is granted a charter
with the provision that it conforms to
the National Policy. The Local Board of
the Chapter has no alternative than to
carry out the prescribed policy. If any
unusual question arises in the Chapter it
must be decided by the area office in
St. Louis.
The effectiveness of the chapter de
pends upon the cooperation and the spirit

control is to prevent breeding,”
Doctor Cox said. “Flies breed in
filth, and about eight days are re
quired to complete a life cycle.
During her life time of several
months, one house fly lays from
600 to 1000 eggs. Thus it can
easily be seen that in a season
which usually begins in the spring
of the year, the descendants from
one fly number countless thou
sands.
“To eliminate flies, the breeding
places must be destroyed. Manure
piles, garbage, and other organic
filth furnish the requirements of
warmth, moisture, and food neces
sary for the propagation of the
fly. Flies should be kept from con
tact with food or drink or utensils
in which such food and drink are
prepared and served. Likewise,
they should be kept from access
to privy vaults where they pick up
the infections, which they later
spread to humans by contact with
the food and drink, and by un
washed hands and utensils.
“See that your windows, doors,
and porches are screened so that
the stray fly from some careless
neighbor will not molest your fam
ily. See that your grocer keeps
meat, vegetables, and fruit screen
ed from flies.
“Organize health measures to
destroy the breeding places, con
trol the flies’ access to your home
and food, and establish standards
of cleanliness in your community
that will eliminate the fly.”

Forest Fires Can
Slow War Effort
Forest protection is national pro
tection. Now, as never before in
America’s history, our forest re
sources must be guarded against
fire. The demand for lumber to be
used in connection with war in
dustries and activities is taxing
the South’s woodlands so heavily
that, even with the utmost care,
they will be greatly depleted by
the end of the present crisis.
Each acre of merchantable tim
ber destroyed by fire is a loss that
the South cannot afford to bear,
and each acre of young growth
burned leaves a smaller growing
stock to meet post-war demands.
Every man-hour spent in fighting
fires means an hour that could
have been devoted to building
planes or ships or to producing
needed farm products. In addition;
smoke from forest fires interferes
with artillery and aviation train
ing and the detection of enemy
planes and submarines.
In the South, Regional Forester
Joseph C. Kircher, of the U. S.
Forest Service, says some 95 per
cent of all fofest fires are man-
caused. Any fire that man causes,
man can prevent. Most of the
South’s fires are caused by care
lessness or incendiarism. The smo
ker, camper, hunter or fisherman,
by taking simple precautions, can
easily avoid setting the woods on
fire. He can be sure his match is
out before throwing it down, and
that his pipe heel or cigar or
cigaret butt is dead. He can take
care to build his campfire well
away from inflammable material
and to see that it is out—dead out
-—before leaving it.
Farmers should make it a rule
never to burn brush when the wind
is high and always to be sure that
plenty of help and fire fighting
tools are on hand. The forest fire
bug must pause to remember that
his action would give aid and com
fort to the enemy, that every acre
he burns helps Hitler and Hirohito.
Unburned forests, by conserving
rainfall, help provide abundant and
steady supplies of water for in
dustrial and power purposes. They
aid in preventing destructive floods
and erosion of valuable farmland.
They provide food and shelter for
wildlife and opportunities for
healthful recreation.
The forests of the South are
vital to the present war efforts
and to future prosperity. They can

Commissions Open
To Doctors In
Emergency Service
Supplying the need for an im
mediate program of expansion in
the medical personnel available
for the Health and Emergency
Medical Service, Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, today an
nounced that the United States
Public Health Service is offering
reserve commissions to physicians
and dentists whose services may
be used to care for evacuees in the
event of enemy action.
Recruitment for those reserve
commissions will be largely from
older age groups, from those of
minor physical disability, making
them ineligible for military serv
ice, and from women physicians.
Doctor Cox, who serves as State
Chairman on Health and Emerg
ency Medical Service, pointed out
that it is essential that staffs for
operating base hospitals in safe
areas be adequately planned to go
into immediate effect, in event of
disaster. “Caring for the sick and
injured in the event of enemy
action is a grave responsibility,
and no one has the right to assume
that we are immune from attack,”
Dr. Cox said. “Emergency base
hospitals in safe areas to which
casualties may be evacuated, to
gether with lines of evacuation,
and means of transport have been
established in almost all sections
of this state.”

SUBURBAN BUS SERVICE
TO SAVE TIRES STARTS
In view of the shortage of tires, causing many resi
dents of the College Station area who shop in Bryan
to limit the use of their automobiles, this company
proposes to launch a new schedule of trips, on a 30
day trial basis. There will be two trips in the morning
and two in the afternoon, that will serve College
Hills, Oakwood, College Park, South Side and operate
on the loop formed by Highway 6 and College Road.
This schedule will be subject to change, if this is
necessary to give the best service possible.
If this service, which has been sought by many resi
dents of the areas to be served, is supported, it will
be continued indefinitely.
However, if the buses are compelled to operate at a
loss, it will not be possible, because of the tire situa
tion, to continue the schedules. To determine this,
exact records of each trip will be kept for a thirty-
day trial period.
The following schedules will go into effect July 6th:
