A. P. Carlton, Elden Langford
and Wirth Langford caught a 50-
pound yellow catfish last night
out of the Medina river, just above
Ranger Crossing. This is the
third catfish weighing fifty
pounds or more caught here since
May 1.
Nathan Kalka was painfully in-
jured when he was kicked on the
leg by a horse last Saturday. An
ugly gash was inflicted, which re-
quired several stitches to close.
Dr. J. H. Erwin reports him get-
ting along all right.
Misses Edna Pentecost and Lois
Vickrey, teachers in the Austin
public schools, were week-end
guests of Miss Pentecost’s sister,
Mrs. F. A. Masters, on Winan’s
Creek. They .returned to Austin
Monday, where Miss Pentecost en-
tered the summer session of the
University of Texas.
A .22 target rifle in the hands
of a playmate was accidentally
discharged and dangerously wound-
ed Calvin Callahan, aged 12, while
hunting squirrels on the river last
Monday. The ball penetrated the
right side of the abdomen, and came
out at the back. Dr. J. 0. Butler
was summoned immediately and
gave first aid treatment, and sent
| the injured boy to a hospital in
San Antonio, where he is reported
to be getting along very well, and
will recover if complications do
not arise. The wounded boy is
the son of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
Callahan of this city.

Anton Leibold and Mr. Wilson,

Give her gifts of steel
TT7HEN a special friend or relative is taking that important step
W from Miss to Mrs., show her your delight: Give her gifts of steel.
For steel gifts are stylish gifts that last a lifetime.
When you buy them for a shower or wedding, you’re giving the
bride much more than just an expression of your affection. You’re
giving gifts that will endure as long as she needs them.
Showering the bride with gifts of steel means choosing from
countless items made to give stylish service—from coffee makers
to canisters, folding chairs to flatware, trays to toasters, clocks to
cutlery. No matter what you choose to give, she’ll appreciate your
good taste and thoughtfulness.
And any bride would glow with pleasure to aee the lustrous
quality shining through every gift of steel. And she can be
assured these good-looking items will go to work in a thousand,
ways to prove their lasting value. For only steel can do so many
jobs so well.
So when you shower the bride,
make it a Steel Shower. And when
you shop for the bridal gifts, make
an Investment that is fashionable and
practical. Look for the store display
pre
ing the Steel Shower symbol-and
get the gift* that will last a lifetime.

Kuo’s hasty denial that bis
youth members were anti-Ameri-
can was very unconvincing to in-
siders. In fact, while it has not
been paraded in the' press the
blame that has fallen on Kuo is
such that his trusting father, the
Generalissimo, is planning to send
his son to America to “study” in
an effort to placate the critics.

We are not blameless. We
simply have too many Americans
in Formosa. The 10,000, includ-
ing dependents, is at least 9,000
too many. The Free World, and
the U. S. in particular, has a vital
stake in keeping Formosa free',
hut the Seventh Fleet can handle
that situation. Too many Ameri-
cans concentrated in a small place,
with living standard much higher
than natives enjoy, cause a natural
resentment.
After visiting Formosa two
years ago I protested the over-
staffing there with waste and ex-
travagance evident on every hand.
