Troop Movement Job Equals 9 World Trips for Grayson County
The Pullman Company reports 14,000,000 troops carried since Pearl Harbor in sleeping cars, averaging over 800,000 military passengers monthly. George A. Kelly says many Grayson County servicemen take six to seven Pullman trips during intense pre-embarkation training while civilian travel also tops records. Wartime service limits comforts, but travelers support the nation’s vital railroading effort.

Better mental care offered in Texas system reform
A state board announced quicker access to mental health care with admission to state hospitals as fast as local hospitals. They eliminated a 1,000 person waiting list by adding a 120 bed ward at Terrell State Hospital and renovating the Confederate Veterans Home at Austin for 375 patients. The Forty Seventh Legislature allocated 3 million dollars for new facilities, but Terrell ward progressed fastest due to wartime priorities. A separate Grayson County sale notice sets November 2, 1943, for real estate to satisfy a 196.06 dollar tax judgment with two year redemption rights.
