VOLUME LV LLANO, TEXAS THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1943. NUMBER 22 The News CORRAL .1.11 a Llano county people are being asked, this month, by their government to make another temporary sacrifice to help with th war effort. We must buy at least worth of War bonds during the month of April to do our share in the financing of the war. School Board Elects Otficers And Teachers In North Africa When we say this is a temporary sacrifice, we mean just We do without some of the things we would like to buy now, loan the money to our government and in future years it will be given back to us with interest. While the rate of interest paid on War bonds does not seem large, it is more than can be made with the money in any other safe manner.

When we do without things we have wanted and Invest our morie'y in War bonds, we ar not making any sacrifice. We should remember the days of the last depression. How Dr. R. L.

Shepperd was elected the new president of the Llano school board, at a meeting of the trustees last Friday night. Dr. Shepperd succeeds Miles Buttery, who was not a candidate for reelection. D. Buster was elected vice presi dent and Wilburn Oatman, was retained as secretary.

All teachers' were re-elected w'th one exception. This was caused by the drop in scholastics in the Mark Twain school, reducing the teaching staff from three to two teachers for the coming year. Teachers re-elected were: High V. Patrick, principal; Phillip-Barnhart, physical edu cation; Mrs. Mary Lou Kelley, Eng lish; Frances Willms, homemaking; Mrs.

Ann Etta Moss Bussey, commercial; FiJora Mueller, English and commercial; Mrs. Tillie B. Moss Fvy history and social studies. O. Henry elementary much easier those days would have, Ray i(eher, principal; Mrs.

Thomas been for us if we had had a backlog 0rL goryi language and library; Laura of savings, such as government securities to tide us over. There would not have been nearly so much misery if the government luirl offered us bonds such as the ones now offered, that fould not be bought or sold at less than their par value, and we had invested our surplus money in those bonds, holding them from the brighter days of the past to the time when th economic outlook was not so bright. This is not by far the greatest sacrifice asked of the of Llano county for the fiu'therance of the bal- tli- for freedom. Some fiou young men have gone from Llano county to do what they could lo insure th American way of life--RlviiiK their lives if necessary, so that we might all enjoy the liberty to which we have been accustomed. These young men left willingly and knowing full well some of them would not return.

Several already made the supreme sacrilice. The people of Llano county will not be more conservative with their dollars than they are with their sons There is no way to figure just what each one's personal or family quota ot War bonds should be. Everyone should buy all be or she possibly can, putting their money to work getting ammunition for the figl ting men of the American armed forces on whom the sun does not set today Gieger, mathematics and science; Mrs. Mildred Enderle Benordeii, art and music; George Ann Mclnnls, language and social studies; Elizabeth Evans, fifth grade; Mrs. Flora La Rue Patrick, fourth grade; Mrs.
