Alpine Public Schools Vote Needed for Ten Cent Tax
The Alpine Public Schools board asks voters to approve a ten cent tax per hundred dollars of property valuation to fund school maintenance and higher salaries. Teachers’ salaries rose 18 percent this year, and without the tax the district faces larger deficits and reduced services. The article urges a strong vote to sustain education and avoid drifting costs.

Candalilla Wax Boosted by Tig Bend Plant During War Years
The Tig Bend region of Texas produced large quantities of candalilla wax from Pedilanthus pavonis, supplying 380 to 480 tons worth $280,000 to $30,000 gross during the war. Labor costs kept production cheap as imports from Mexico and Brazil declined, and the wax proved valuable for industrial arts and munitions. With imports resumed, prices fell, threatening regional wax factories though advocates seek a protective levy to sustain this infant industry.
