esting program during our last
regular assembly, held on Thurs-
day, November 18. After the
group singing, Sadie Edwards and
Alice Pace gave lively tap dances.
John and Wilbur staged a lazy

could imitate the characters so
well? Miss Marcak read very en-
tertainingly an account of the ex-

enjoyed the program.

Week, the high school students
presented a Library Benefit Pro-
gram Friday, November 19, at the
Austwell High School Auditorium.
Admission prices of 10c, 15c and
25c netted a small total—$17.20.
That was somewhat a disappoint-
ment, yet we appreciate the fact
that that amount will enable us
to add several badly needed in-
teresting novels to our fiction
shelves.
The following program was pre-
sented :
‘America, the Beautiful:” Open-
ing song of audience.
Discussion of Book Week: Joyce
Hopper.

On Thursday evening, November
18, the Victoria Junior College
Choral Club, under the able direc-
tion and management of Clarence
Felger, presented a deligttftil pro-
gram of songs and instrumental
music to an . apprecaitive audience,
at the Tivoli Auditorium. The en-
tertainment was given under the
auspices of the Tivoli Parent-
Teaceh Association. A small en-
trance fee was charged and the
tidy sum was added to the treas-
ury of the organization. The en-
tire community is indebted to Mr.
Felger for the high class enter-
tainment provided, as well as for
the financial aid, and it is hoped
he will bring the club for a repeat
performance soon. Especially en-
joyed numbers on the program
were the spiritualist, “Go Down,
Moses” and “Lord, I Want to be
a Christian,” by the Choral Club
and the vocal solos by Bill Fobese
and Arthur Moers and the violin
numbers presented by Miss Louise
Greer. These young people show
real talent and a great future is
ahead of each if they really apply
themselves.
Oyster Association
Meeting in Palacios
Rockport, Texas.—P resident
Travis Johnson today issued a
special invitation to those citizens
of Refugio County who are inter-
ested in the preservation and pro-
motion of Texas oysters to attend
the second and all-important meet-
ing of the Texas Oyster Associa-
tion in Palacios, Tuesday, Novem-
ber 30.
At a meeting in Rockport Sep-
tember 30, the decline of the in-
dustry was discussed together with
present day problems of both oys-
ter growers and dealers. Those
present voted to organize provis-
ionally for a three month’s period
and elected Johnson to serve as
president and Alex Lillico as ex-
ecutive secretary for that time.
This second meeting will afford
the oyster men an opportunity to
adopt a constitution and by-laws,
elect officers for a year and con-
sider a program of worthwhile ac-
tivities.
The general meeting will start
with a luncheon at the Green Lan-
tern Cafe at noon, with the Pala-
cios dealers as hosts. However,
special comittees will meet that
morning to prepare recommenda-
tions for the general session.
W. W. Boyd of Corpus Christi,
director of the coastal division of
the state game, fish and oyster
set up a permanent association, comission; Dr. George W. Cox of
Austin, state health officer, and
Representative Conde Hoskins of
Gonzales have been invited as spe-
cial guests.
Lillico made a two-day trip up
the coast to Galveston last week
and he said that unless bad
weather prevented, there should be
a good attendance at Palacios.

Night Road Signs
Reduce Mishaps
Night driving mishaps on cer-
tain Oklahoma roads have been re-
duced through the use of reflect-
orized signs, Reynolds Weaver,

signs have been erected for expe-
rimental purposes on a section of

of six months’ operation showed
that only 60 per cent of the acci-
dents occurred at night, whereas
in the previous six months 72 per
cent occurred at night.
