Gulf Coast Area Invites
Fishing, Boating, Swimming
Lovers of such sports ns fishing,
boating, and swimming, still have
considerable opportunity to enjoy
these pastimes in the Gulf Coast
Aren, despite certain expected war-
time measures, affecting vital wa-
terfront areas, according to the
latest regulations received from
National Coast Guard Headquart-
er! by Lieutenant Commander E.
C. Whitfield, Captain of the Port
of Galveston.
No restrictions whatever have
been placed on shore fishing and,
just as in years past, fishing from
piers on Galveston’s beachfront,
such as the Seventeenth Street
Municipal Fishing Pier and the
Twenty-first Street Pier, remain
fully open
Unlimited swimming facilities
covering 25 miles out of the 3.1 mile
beach front is available thereby
continuing to uphold Galveston’s
unparallel record as one of the
country’s outstanding bathing re-
sorts.
However, motor vehicles will not
be permitted to park along the
beach proper from sundown to sun-
rise, due to dim-out regulations.
Pedestrians are NOT affected.
According to the latest Coast
Guard regulations, restrictions defi-
nitely affect those desiring to fish
in gulf waters from any form of
craft; therefore, directly limiting
deepsea fishing. Even here, how-
ever, the restrictions are not pro-
hibitive, providing the released
stipulations are followed;
L Fishing is permitted only from
SUNRISE to SUNSET.
2. Every craft (pleusure or com-
mercial) entering gulf waters, em-
bracing Galveston, Texas City, and
Freeport, must have its own permit,
this to be obtained at the Harbor
Patrol Office, Pier 18. Galveston.
3, Every person on board any
craft MUST have individual Coast
Guard Identification Card which is
obtainable daily, except Sunday,
from 8:30 till 4:30, at Room 103,
Old Federal luilding, Twentieth
Street and Avenue E. Incidentally,
these permits may also be secured
at the nearest Coast Guard Head-
quarters, Corpus Christi, Port Ar-
thur, Freeport, Houston, or Browng-
ville.
Concerning swimming, Mayor
Brantly Harris pointed out that the
only restrictions valid govern the
areas fronting Fort Crockett, from
Thirty-ninth to Sixty-first streets,
and the east end area extending
eastward beyond Stewart Beach.
“We look forward to one of the
best seasons in recent years. Now,
more than ever, in the light of the
times as the President himself so
frequently stated, do people need
a certain degree of relaxation, and
it is natural for them to turn to
points nearby for this outlet. We
are doing everything possible to
make Galveston supply the recrea-
tional needs so vital for victory.”
The fish are biting and the wa-
ter’s fine! C'mon down!

“WE KEEP THE SPOTS”
FRIDAY’S CLEANERS
SELF-CLEANING
HOUSE PAINT
developed by DU PONT
m—
■pvUPONT House Paint keeps
LI white houses white, because
this brilliantly white paint is
“self-cleaning.” It forms a tough,
durable film which protects the
surface from rust, rot, or decay.
Like all paints, it collects dirt on
exposure to the elements. As time
goes on, however, a fine white
powder forms on the surface of
this new paint. This powder is
washed away by heavy rains,
carrying the dirt with it and
exposing a fresh white surface.
This self-cleaning process starts
after a few months of exposure
under normal conditions of wea-
ther, but may be delayed under
unusual dirt-collecting condi-
tions such as found in sooty in-
dustrial areas. Because the“self-
cleaning” process is gradual, the
wearing qualities of the paint
film are not abnormally affected.
Stays WHITE because
it’s "Self-Cleaning’

Is easy and fast to
apply—has excellent

The new Du Pont Tru-Tint for-

Like the white paint, these col-

economical because it needs fewer

We Receive Letters From A1 Krenek
And S. L. Cleveland, Who Are In Calif.
The writer received two letters this week from two boys
in the service at California.
One is from Private First Class Ah Krenek, Company A.
159th Infantry, A. P. 0. 7, San Luis Obispo. Krenek will be
remembered as one of the greatest athletes ever produced at
Markham. He starred particularly in basketball, being one
of the best point-getters we’ve ever seen in action.
"I have been in the Army now for ten months,” Krenek
writes. “I like it okay, I guess, but it seems to me I would
like it a lot more if I would know all that’s happening around
home. I get lots of letters from friends around there but still
they don’t tell me everything.
“I was wondering if you guys would help out a lonely
soldier that’s far away from home by sending me The
Herald. It was my favorite paper when I was at home,
so please make a lonely soldier smile sometimes and send
me the news. I would appreciate it very much.
“If you ever hear anyone say that he wishes he was in
California, sock him on the jaw for me. I’ve been here ten
months and I know Texas is still the most beautiful state and
the best. Don’t let anyone tell you that the girls are more
beautiful here. I know they aren’t.
“The girl I left down there is still the most beautiful
thing I ever saw’. If I ever come out of this thing, I won’t
even stop to look around. I will head right to Texas and
home.”
Glad to hear from you, Al, and your Herald is on its way.

Here’s How To
Become Unpopular
On Golf Course
Jack Burke, veteran River Oaks
pro who played the Bay City muny
with Jimmy Demaret two years
ago, comes across with ten rules
on how to become unpopular on a
golf course.
Here they are:
1. Talk very loud when your
partner is hitting a shot.
2. Lap your bag on tne green and
try your putt over if you miss.
3. Always bawl out your caddy.
4. After one lesson, show your
friends how to play.
5. Never let anyone play through.
6. Invite players through—then
ignore them.
7. Have an appointment for a les-
son—then forget it.
8. Add your score on the green,
and never replace divots.
9. Tee up your ball in front of
the markers—also in the rough.
10. Be sure to climb out of all
sandtraps.
The second letter is from Private First Class S. L. Cleveland, who
is with the Marines at Headquarters Company Service Battalion, Marine
Corps Base, San Diego.
“I would like to have a copy of The Herald every week,” he states.
“1 lived in Buy City nearly all my life before joining the Marines—
I have a sister and brother-in-law there now.
“I’ve been out here eight months and like it very much. I am a
private first class or assistant cook—I’ve been cooking for the past
five months.
“I used to work for Q-P No. 1 in Bay City. I think the Marine
Corps is a great place, but I hope to return home on leave in the near
future if it’s possible.”
Sergeant Thomas Drake Sees ^
Action In Jap Attack At Hawaii
Sergeant Thomas Drake was a
visitor here with his parents this
week. Drake made his first trip
home after three years of sendee
in Hawaii. He will be stationed at
115th Q, Fort Lewis, Washington,
when his furlough is up.
Drake, who was recruited by
lieutenant V. L. Curl here on
June 9, 1939, saw action when the
Japs attacked Pearl Harbor. He
said he grabbed his rifle and
jumped into a grease pit at an
airfield. He shot at several Jap
planes hut ventured the opinion
that he "didn't hit anything.”
Drake wasn’t frightened until it
was over. However, he, like the
other soldiers, went three days
without sleep and nothing for nour-
ishment but coffee. There was
plenty of chow, but he said he
didn't feel like eating.
Some of the Bay City boys in
Hawaii are Keefer Davis, Henry
Fisher, Vance Dienst, and a lad
named Crawford, Drake said.
With Thomas home, the Drakes
really held a reunion. Thomas’ sis-
ter, Mciva Fay, who is training for
nursing at the Harris and Moore
Hospital at Fort Worth, was here
lor her vacation at the same time.
Two lads now in Australia are
Walter Armstrong Jr. of Wharton
and P. G. Secrest Jr. of Bay City.
Armstrong is a staff sergeant and
Secrest is a doctor in the medical
corps.
A. B. Huddleston of Markham
left this week for Fort Benning,
Georgia, where he will train to
be a parachute trooper. Huddles-
ton served some time with the
Army at Key West, Florida, be-
fore being accepted as a para-
chuter.
Huddleston says he doesn't like
Key West. All a soldier can do
there is go to shows and drink,
he says, and it's too hot to drink.
Tom Anderson spent part of his
vacation here this week with his
parents .Tom is now a proud papa
of a two-month-old daughter.
We all remember Tom as cap-
tain of the football team which won
the first district championship for
Bay City. Tom was a great athlete,
excelling in football, basketball,
and track. He played football under
Kitts at Rice and ran the hurdles
with Fred Wolcott and Pat Patter-
son.
Tom is living in Austin.
Tom's younger brother, Roy
Lee, who is in the Army in Ne-
vada, is a married man, we un-
derstand. Roy Lee and a Nevada
girl were married in May.
Received a letter from Bobby
Mayfield, former Herald carrier,
who is now working for the dredge,
Sam Houston, at Freeport. Though
hard, Bobby likes his work very
much.
Red Manross
Is Star Hurler
For Dow Team
Freeport boasts of two outstand-
ing softball teams. One is the Sin-
clair Service ten and the other is
the Dow Chemical Company’s police
department team.
The Dow aggregation, managed
by Neil Johnson, first baseman, is
led by pitcher Red Manross, who
last August pitched a 17-inning
game against the Houston champ-
ion Wyatt Boilermakers in the state
tournament. The veteran Manross,
who has pitched in Bay City tour-
naments, was drafted by Sugar
Land for the state meet.
Other good players on the Dow
team include Pitcher Gene Faulk,
former Tulsa star, Lou Wysocki,
third base: Skinny Wellam, short-
stop; Aneil Hodges, second base;
Speedy Bullard, catcher; G. D.
Squires, left field; A. D, Wood,
short field; J. C. Bradford, center-
field, and J. R. Davis, rightfield.

With Old Sol sending the mer-
cury to the 105 mark these days,
you’re probably among those who
are a hit unwary when sauntering
out under the sun’s rays for a swim
or a sun bath.
If you are—you’ll be sorry.
Dr. Charles F. Pabst, chief der-
matologist of Greenpoint Hospital,
Brooklyn, N. V., has placed sun-
seekers in two classes. A person
whose skin will redden, blister and
burn, but never tan, he calls a
“heliophobe.” One who tans easily,
without blistering he has labeled a
“heliophile.”
10 Rules Given
As a general rule, blondes and
redheads are heliophobes, while
olive skinned brunettes are helio-
philes.
Summarizing the entire subject
of sunburn and its dangers, he has
formulated 10 rules. These “tan
commandments” are as follows:
1. Acquire a coat of tan, pro-
vided you are not a heliophobe, by
means of short exposures.
2. Do not sleep on the beach in
direct rays of the sun.
3. Don’t sit in the sun when the
body is wet after bathing.
4. Don’t go bareheaded in strong
sunlight.
Don’t Play Cards
5 Don’t read books or play cards
in the direct rays of the sun.
6. Don’t drink highballs or strong
liquor while exposed to the sum-
mer sun; alcohol and sunlight do
not mix.
7. Don’t sprinkle perfume on the
skin before exposure to the sun;
a severe inflammation of the skin
may result.
8. Don’t recline in strong sun-
light after strenuous exercise.
9. Don’t forget that blondes and
brunettes react differently to the
sun's rays; blondes burn more
easily.
10. If your skin will redden, blis-
ter and burn, but never tan, you
are a “heliophobe” and should not
expose pourself, as every new ex-
posure means a new burn.
