THE FREED0h
The Governor
Says--
"VITTLES": My good friend
Jimmie Wilson of Sapulpa of
"Cat Fish Band" fame tells this
story: "An old aunt of mine
ing in the hills of Tennessee ar-
rived at the mature age of 110
years still with a bright mind
and a healthy body A committee
representing the medical pro-
fession called on her and after
many congratulations and kind
words they asked her this ques-
tion "How do you account for
the fact that you have lived to
this ripe old age In such fin(
physical and mental condition?"
She answered in one word Tit-
tles' " Never in my life tim(
have "vittles" occupied so pro
minent a place in the welfare
and security of the nation as
t they do today The people havE
responded grandly to the need
for the production of food Lit-
erally tens of thousands of Vic-
tory Gardens have been grown
which would not have ' been
planted had it not been for the
urgent necessity created by thE
war These gardens have been
grown by people everywhere —
In the country in the towns and
in the cities
THREE-FOLD SERVICE: Some
weeks ago I quoted a slogan I
heard with reference to Victors
Gardens: "Eat all you can and
can all you cannot eat" Anoth-
er slogan I have heard is "Weed
'em and reap" In canning al'
of the food produced which is
not eaten we perform a three-
fold service as follows: First we
provide our families with the
finest food attainable Second
we conserve one of the most val-
uable munitions of war Third
- we provide against a day in the
near future when food is going
to be even far more scarce than
it is today I do not believe that
actual hunger is ahead for our
people but every indication that
have seen leads me to believe
that real shortage will exist in
many items of food which while
they may not be absolute neces-
sities are nearly so and we are
so accustomed to having them
that we would be very uncom-
fortable and unhappy without
them
ARMED FORCES FIRST: Our
armed forces and the armed
forces of our allies will need
poultry eggs milk butter
meats canned fruits and vege-
tables along with other items of
food in ever-increasing quanti-
ties The people of Oklahoma by
looking ahead and working a-
head can continue to render vi-
tal assistance to the war effort
and provide sufficient supplies
of food for all of ourpeople at
hdine—and this we must do! Fall
gardens in most sections of the
State can be grown Now is the
time for planting fall potatoes
and the time for other vege-
tables for fall harvest will soon
be here In continuing to pro-
duce conserve and preserve
food we continue to serve not
only our own interest but the
highest interest of our country
and humanity The greatest
All-American team in history is
the team of all-Americans!
There is room on the playing
field for every man woman and
child Bench warming is over
for the duration
SUPT POPE RESIGNS

Pope has submitted his resigna-
tion as superintendent of Free-
dom public schools The resig-
nation has been accepted by the
school board To date the va-
cancy has not been filled

ation he has had during his
work here

pects to move to Rosston about

OBITUARY
N B WELTY
Funeral services were condu-
cted Sunday at the high school
auditorium for Nova B Welty
who died July 21 in Pueblo Co-
lorado Rev G R Vaughan of
Alva was in charge Burial was
in the Haskew cemetery with
Floyd Funeral Home in charge
Nova B Welty was born in
Linn County Missouri Nov 4
1879 and passed away July 21
1943 at the age of 63 years 8
months and 17 days
In 1901 he came with his fath-
er and mother and sisters and
brothers to this locality and
homesteaded He lived on this
homestead until April 1943
when he and his wife and son
Lewis moved to Pueblo Colo
In this vicinity he met and
married Miss Sinah Feeley To
this union nine children were
born- five sons and four daugh-
ters Two of the daughters di-
ed in early childhood Of the re-
maining family: The wife
Mrs Cleo Burton Mrs Ruby
Gerstenberger and one son Lew-
is reside in Pueblo Colo Jason
and Ellsworth at Freedom Ch-
arles in Tulsa Okla and Phillip
in Enid -Okla
Mr Welty's entire life was
spent on the farm He was de-
voted to his home and family
and was always ready and ac-
tive in the upbuilding -of the
community Just previous to
his recent illness he accepted
Jesti Christ as his saviour and
spent much time reading his
bible and in prayer Besides his
wife and children he leaves sev-
en grandchildren two sisters
four brothers nieces and nep-
hews and a host of friends To
all of these he is a pleasant
memory 1
It is so natural that we fall -
asleep
Like tired children when the
day is done
That I would question why the
living weep
When death has kissed the
laughing lips of one
We do not sigh when golden
skies
Have ' donned the purple shad-
ows and the gray of night
Because we know the morning
lies beyond
And we must wait a little while
for light
So when grown weary with the
care and strife our loved ones
find in sleep the peace they
crave
We should not weep but learn
to count this life a prelude to
the one beyond the grave and
thus be happy for them—Not
distressed but lift our hearts
wish love to God and smile and
we anon—like tired ones will
rest If we hope and wait—alit-
tie while
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank those who
were so kind and helpful and
for the beautiful floral offering
in the bereavement of our hus
band and father

FARMERS TO AIR
TROUBLES AT MEETING
A chance for the farmers of
Woods county to speak their
minds on farm production prob-
lems and especially the live-
stock feed shortage where it
will do the most rood will be
given here next Saturday at a
mass meeting called by R W
McNally Waynoka farmer and
state representative from this
county
A guest at the meeting—but
not a guest speaker McNally
emphasized—will be Congress-
man Ross Rizley Eighth dis-
trict representative inthe na-
tional congress A message from
Rizley Saturday confirmed nis
intention of being in Alva next
week
Any farmer who has a corn-
plaint or suggestion he would
like to have recorded directly
with a law-maker is invited to
be present and speak Arrange-
ments are being made McNally
said to have a stenographic rec-
)rd kept on the meeting so that
!ocal farmers' sentiments may
be tapped by any interested of-
ficial McNally explained that the
current serious shortage of sup-
plementary feeds which is forc-
ing livestock off the farms be-
fore it is ready for market was
responsible for his calling the
neeting He said he expected
the farmers to demand that the
national congress take steps to
alleviate the feed shortage or at
least to place the cost of feed
and the price of livestock in a
more favorable ratio
The meeting is not sponsored
by any political organization
the representative said and will
be conducted on a strictly non-
)arisan basis
OVEN CANNING'
NOT RECOMMENDED
Home canners have been warn-
against the oven method of
anning food by the U S De-
oartment of Agriculture Not
only is oven canning slow and
unsatisfactory but it may lead
o serious accidents as a result
)t misunderstanding of canning
techniques Disadvantages of ov-
en canning mentioned by USDA
are: "Juices bubbles out or
steams away peaches and pears
are likely to darken For the
vegetables that need high heat
to kill bacteria oven canning is
not safe Even though the ov-
ul goes to 250 degrees F or
higher food inside the glass
jars stays at about boiling point
And the boiling point of water
212 degrees F is not sufficient
heat to kill dangerous bacteria
in a reasonable time in beans
peas corn and other non-acid
vegetables and meat For can-
ning these the Department rec-
ommends only steam pressure
canner and for fruits and toma-
toes the boiling water bath
