Burial was conducted in California and full details of the service were sent to Mrs. Varner.

Farm production is a most vital part of the war program and 1944 is our critical year in the war ef fort, Mr. Schoffner said. Production last year broke all former records, but in 1944 the farmers are being asked to do a still greater job and to do it un der even more severe difficulties, he explained. Miss Rowe stated that today civilians are consuming more food than ever before and that the de mands of our military forces, of the allied and conquered nations are growing greater. “America wants to help to feed and not to starve the occupied countries, as the Germans are do ing,” Miss Rowe said. “We are getting along fine in —Turn To Page Twelve P-TA ORGANIZED ATLAKETOXAWA1T Mrs. C.
