BAY CITY HIGH SCHOOL GRID BANQUET CALLED OFF
MEN UP TO 45 MAY NOW VOLUNTEER IN ARMY'
U. T. Fans Are
Particularly*
Disappointed
They May Get
Turkey Day Film
For U.S.O. Showing
The annual Bay City Hiirh School
banquet for the football team has
been definitely called off, it was an-
nounced to The Herald. No reason
was given.
It was at first planned to have
Dana X. Bible, University of Texas
coach, nnd Lloyd Gregory, manag-
ing editor of the Houston Post,
here as guest speakers and Bay
City fans were eagerly looking for-
ward to the occasion.
University of Texas ex-students
and partisans arc particularly dis-
appointed as Bible and Gregory are
champions of University athletics.
Then, too, they wanted to see the
technicolor filming of the Texas-
' Texas A. & M. Thanksgiving tilt.
Some loyal ex-students are think-
ing of trying to get the film any-
way and show it at the U. S. O.
Club.

War Restrictions Slow
Up Fishing On Gulf Coast
Wartime restrictions are begin-
ning to slow activities of fisher-
men on the Texas Gulf Coast.
A report from Galveston has it
that East Beach, famous over the
U. S. as a fishing and swimming
place, has been closed. However,
west beach is opened except when
the Army is having gunnery prac-
tice.
There is an Eighth Corps Area
ruling that no boats are allowed to
be anchored or moored within 300
yards of any bridge. The coast-wide
regulation is that every boat op-
erator or employee aboard such
craft be able to show an identifi-
cation card in all navigable or coast-
al waters.
But before the boat, however
small, can he operated at all, the
owner must have procured a mili-
tary license from the United
States Coast Guard. Many Bay
City boat owners are getting
their licenses from the Freeport
station.
Passengers will not be allowed
to carry cameras, kodaks, or fire-
arms aboard vessels operating in
such waters as come under the jur-
isdiction of the Coast Guard.

not check out deep sea or other
Gulf fishing parties until 7:30 a.
m., but there has been no reported
interference with surf fishing at
Velasco or the north jetty at Velas-
co. Boats which leave the old
Brazos River for Gulf fishing trips
must return before dark to be
cheeked in at the Coast Guard sta-
tion. Fishing is not allowed on the
Freeport jetty, across the river
from the Coast Guard Station, how-
ever.
The beach and Gulf is closed to
all fishing from the San Bernard
River to Cedar Bayou, 12 miles
north of Port Aransas, which was
taken over for a bombing range
more than a year ago. Likewise the
bayshore of Matagorda Peninsula
and Matagorda Island, for a mile
into the bay, is a part of the bomb-
ing range.
However, anglers in Bay City
report no interference at Brown
Cedar Cut, where fishing has been
good lately. The Intracoastal Ca-
nal bridge below Sargent is still
out and boats are necessary to
get across or go to the cut. Lee
Slaughter has some good live
bait and. if you do not have boat,
he will furnish water transporta-
tion for a fee.
The only limit at Port Aransas
is that there must be no night fish-
ing, and use of boats must be con-
fined to the area between Cedar
Bayou to any distance south, pro-
vided they return to port before
dark. There never has been must
night fishing in those waters.

Strangler Lewis
Ties Into Cox
Friday Night
A feud which started last sum
mer will be culminated next Friday
night when King Kong Cox, still
No. 1 in Texas wrestling, meets Ed
(Strangler) Lewis, probably the
greatest grappler of all-time. They
top a six-bout cai-d for Promoter
Morris Sigel at the City Auditor-
ium in Houston.
Lewis, who is starting a come-
back, refereed a bout last summer
between Cox and another long time
mat notable, Ernie Dusek. King
Kong gave Dusek a pummeling as
he has done to so many wrestlers.
But after the match Strangler
was derisive of King Kong’s ef-
forts. He expressed the opinion that
any grappler with a hold could whip
King Kong easily and intimated
that the headlock, which the Strang-
ler features, would be the very
thing to humble Cox.
King Kong challenged Lewis then
and there but at that time the
Strangler wasn’t wrestling. How-
ever, he remembered that challenge
and when approached by Promoter
Sigel in a long distance telephone
conversation last week immediate-
ly demanded Cox. Needless to say,
King Kong accepted quickly.
Chamber Lists
Manufacturers
In Bay City
The Bay City Chamber of Com-
merce has furnished the Loan
Agency of the Reconstruction Fi-
nance Corporation of Houston with
a list of local manufacturers. Presi-
dent E. O. Taulbee announced.
M. McConnel, manager of the
Houston division, said: “We are to-
day mailing them each a copy of a
press release relating to the author-
ity recently granted by the board
of directors in making loans in con-
nection with the war effort.”
Mr. McConnell said that if the
corporation could be of service to
anyone in this community “we shall
welcome the opportunity.’’ This, of
course, applies only to borrowers
who are unable to make loans at
their banks.
“Tough Guys” From
Texas Form Large
Group At Bataan
Nearly 20 per cent of the “Men
of Bataan" now are Texans, and
General Douglas MaeArthur, who
commanded them and who was once
stationed in the Texas Valley, has
come to regard Texas as the No.
“tough guy” producer of the na-
tion.
This was revealed at Brownsville
this week by Diosado M. Yap, na-
tionally-known Filipino speaker,
who is in the Valley speaking to
service men in Army camps. Mac-
Arthur was stationed at McAllen
during the border troubles of 1916-
17 and was a captain.
U. S. Must
Control Unions,
Arnold Says
(Editor'p note: At the insist-
ence of many of our readers. The
Herald is re-printing certain por-
tions of the statement made last
Sunday by Thnrman Arnold, as-
sistant attorney general of the
United States.)
Thurman Arnold, assistant attor-
ney general, accused organized In
bor today of “injuring and destroy-
ing” independent business and said
that farmers, consumers nnd busi-
ness-men were “at its mercy.”
He flatty told the house judiciary
committee that a measure to re-
quire government registration of
unions mid trade associations "does-
n’t go far enough” in protecting the
public from practices of organized
labor.
“When you look at the entire pic-
ture,” Arnold asserted, “the situa-
tion is putting a very substantial
handicap on the distribuion of all
civilian necessities.
“It is impeding the distribution
of housing and food and is injur-
ing or destroying the independent
businessman at a time when we are
trying to save the consumer and
independent businessman.”
He told the committee that “no
other group in our society” could
do anything like the things he said
have been done by labor unions.
Unions alone, he said, have been
able to do these things without be-
ing subject to prosecution. Arnold
charged the unions with;
1. —Exploitation of farmers.
2. —Undemocratic procedure, “in-
cluding packing its membership to
insure elections.”
3. —Impeding transportation.
4. —Making it “impossible to get
cheap, mass production of housing.”
5. —Forcing businessmen to er
ploy “useless” labor.
6. —Restricting “efficient use of
men and machines.”
“Independent businessmen all over
the country are completely at the
mercy of any organized labor
group,” he declared.
“Labor,” Arnold told the com-
mittee, “can tell any independent
businessman to stop business eith-
er by refusing to deal with him, or
by putting too great a burden on
him in the form of useless and un-
necessary employes.”
And he maintained also that un-
ions, “particularly large unions”
want to deal with large organiza-
tions, adding:
“Small organizations get in the
way, so they simply eliminate
them.”
BE SURE ...
ABOUT THE CARE OF YOUR CAR
Do you keep a written record, showing just what
your car will need, and when, to keep it in top
condition? Your Humble service man will do that
(or you, and remind you, when the time comes,
about battery check-up, chassis lubrication, spark
plug cleaning—all the things that mean more miles
of better service. This is no time to take chances on
car or tires, you’ll agree. That’s why Humble serv-
ice—planned, complete and thorough, will appeal
to you.
Ask about "20 Ways to Get
Longer Life from Your Car’’ at
your Humble station. That’s the
plan thousands of Texas motorists
are following to get more miles of
better service. Talk to your Humble service man
about it. You’ll find him experienced, capable, and
anxious to help you. Many of the things he sug-
gests are free—and when your car needs service
which requires time and the use of equipment, his
charge is nominal.
Give your car a chance to do its best — with
regular Humble service.
