San Saba Schools Streamlined with New Inter-Communication System
San Saba superintendent W M Campbell announced completion of a school inter-communication system linking his office to all rooms in both the grammar and high schools. The setup allows listening in, announcements, and radio program delivery to any room or group, using buttons and a desk microphone. The system supports educational broadcasts and news for classes, with prior use during the national draft lottery and lunch hours. The project marks a milestone in Campbell eight years as head, following earlier curriculum, visual instruction, and facility improvements.

Cotton loan plan hinges on 1941 quota vote
Cotton loans, aiding farmer incomes, would be offered in 1941 only if marketing quotas pass in the December 7 referendum. If quotas fail, the 1940 loan program ends when results are announced and no loans would be available until August 1, 1942. Approved quotas mean loans on all 1941 cotton for those within allotment, and on excess production at 60 percent for cooperative producers.
