and more than a hundred came here from

program, with Andrew Howaley acting a* mat-
ter of ceromoniet, and talk* made by a number
•f per*onal friend* of the Clarke*, with Judge
Walter Morri* of Fort Worth, who had known

Albany wanted to give Joe Clarke and Mr*.

to equal thit one. More power to Joe and
Mr*. Clarke in their new home and new dutiea.
Incidentally, Mr*. Clarke lia* published the
Palo Pinto Star for a number of year*, recently
aellinif the publication. She i* on* of the beat j
known and baat loved newapapor editora in th«
Texa* Pre** Aaaociation.
And wa might observe that a teat of real
citizenship ia in just auch an occasion . . . after
a life time here aa a citiien and banker, Joe
Clarke ia conaidered by hia frienda at Albany'a
top and moat valuable citizen. He haa built
bia value to hia community on aervice. He haa
alwaya been ready to aerve when called upon
Albany and Palo Pinto are going to miaa the

OPA Test
(From the Washington Con)
I' r i c e Administrator Chester
Howie.- made an extremely im-
pre- ive ca-e before the House
Small I'li-iness Committee Tues-
day in upport of his conviction
i that automobile dealer- -hould he
given no exemption .from the cost
absorption policy of his agency.
The policy, he insists, is one that
he has been enjoined to pursue by
Congre-s, by th< president and by
the court-.
In a decision handed down in
March, Idl.'!, the Emergency
Court of Appeal- ruled that when
price increases are permitted to
producer-, "It is the duty of the
admin -trator, -o far as possible,
to require them to be absorbed at
•orne appropriate intermediate
tage iri the proce- of production
or di trihution at which there may
be an existing margin of profit
rea oiiably sufficient to absorb
them."
Apparently the OI'A i getting
ready to grant a price increase to
automobile manufacturers. Mr.
A basketball game was played
Tuesday night at Throckmorton.l
The A team lost their game and
the l! team won theirs. The A '
team's scores were 23 to 13 iri fav- j
or Throckmorton, and the 1! team's
were IK to ! in favor of Albany.
The team goes to Avoca Wednes-
day riight.
The ex-servicemen are also in-
terested n basketball. They are
to play the high school A team
some afternoons. It has been quite
some time since some of the-e bays
have even been on a basketball
court.
Next on the list of school activ-
ities will be mid-term examina-
tions which will be January I'">, 17
and lx. Reviews for the exams
will start Thursday and Friday of
this week.

Beethoven, said: "I only play mu-

tin i- -o, he is convinced there is
110 doubt that they can, and should
absorb the added cost in order to
prevent a ri
of living.
Mr. Howies points out two fac-
tors which make it possible for
the dealer to absorb the added
cost without undue hardship. One
factor is that under present mar
ket conditions and those that will
prevail next year, the dealers do
not have to take In- e on used
car ale . I'efore the war, dealers
had a gro- margin on new cars
of about Jl percent. Tin was off

Recause of lack of materials and
manpower during the war, majori-
ty of the county's 1,H82 dwelling
units are in need of -ome kind of
repair or remodeling work. Kitch-
en improvement, and moderniza-
tion of bathroom, installation of
tiled showers and in some home-
addition of a -ecnnd bath top the
nation's list of most wanted major
improvements, Jordan said.
Outside paint jobs are needed
on more than 50 per cent of
homes, and addition of rooms and
construction of porches also rank
, accord-
ing to the report. New roofing
and heating plant are required by
many dwellings.
