Killough, chairman of the Hood county AAA committee, pointed out Monday.

Solution of the problem liea in marketing quotas, which will be decided at community ballot boxes Saturday, May 2. when wheat farmers vote in a national referendum.

I recall, also, receiev-ing a letter from you some time ago, in which you expressed the hope that the Highway Department would designate and survey the route, in order that the county might do some work on two bridges at the proper locations." -'V, The present policy of the Commission is not to designate a road unless- it is the intention to construct, and maintain it without, undue delay. 1 know you are aware of the circumstances under which we are trying to operate the Department today.

Construction seems to-be a thing of the past until the war shall have ended. Of course none of us know when that will 1 T1 .1.

"We've done a good job of producing wheat, we have adequate reserves, and we are getting a a fair price.

Let's go on that way, for that is the way in which is found economic stability and financial independence for the farmer, Wheat marketing quotas is just another method we have of keeping our business house in order," the chairman concluded.

Maybe he has enrolled in one of the fiirst aid classes being held week ly under the direction of H. D. Thomason, Dr. G.

N. Lancaster and Dr. T. H. Dabney and hasn't mastered the knotty problems of bandages.
