Mrs. Sims was well-known in
Odem, having visited her with her
daughter and family on many oc-
casions and at one time made her'

law here purchased a modern rest
home in Kenedy and both Mr.
Green’s mother, Mrs. W. J. Green,
and Mrs.Sims, who have been sem-
invalids for several years went to
live in this rest home. Naturally,
the home was more like the home
of relatives than a rest home for
the two elderly ladies.
Mrs. Sims was born in Alabama
and had made her home in Kenedy
for more than a half century. She
was a member of the Baptist
Church and will be long remember-
ed for her sweet Christian char-

held at First Baptist Church at
3 p.m. Monday, with the Rev. Carl
McGinnis, her pastor officiating.

Burnett, pastor of First Baptist
Church, Odem.
Burial was in the Kenedy Ceme-
tery. Pallbearers were six of her
grandsons, E. H. Green Jr., Odem,
H. W. Green Jr. and H. W. Green,
both of San Antonio, Boyston Sims
and Raymond Rix, both of Kenedy
and Claude A. Rix of Nixon. Honor-
ary pallbearers were her other
grandsons, Weldon Lister and Rea-
gan Lister, San Antonio, Billy Rix,
Luling, Kenneth Ray Sims, Corpus
Christi, Carlton Pullin, New York,
Howard Lister, Oklahoma, Jack
Sims, California, John H. Pdllin,
North Dakota, and Dalmon Sims

H. W. Green and Mrs. L. O. Little,
both of Kenedy, a son, William E.
Sims, San Antonio; 26 grandchil-
dren; 40 great-grandchildren, and
four great-great-grandchildren.
Those from Odem and Edroy at-
tending the funeral were Mr. and
Mrs. E. H. Green Sr., Mr and Mrs.
E. H. Green Jr., tire Rev. and Mrs.
L. M. Burnett, Mr and Mrs. E. H.
Jackson, Mrs. R. J. Lane Sr., Mrs.
H. E. Cooper, and Mrs. Ray Chil-
dress, all of Odem and Mr. and Mr
Jack Thornton Sr. of Edroy.
Mrs. W. A. Taylor of Dallas,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H.
Green Sr. was among the out of
town relatives who attended the
funeral services. She came down
by plane to San Antonio and was
met there by her relatives. She
returned to her home immediately
following the funeral services, with
her parents accompanying her to
the airpoi't in San Antonio Monday
evening.

March Of Dimes
Drive To Start
This Week
Mrs. Mary Boggus, chairman of
the 1958 March of Dimes Drive, has
announced that the Drive will get
under way in Odem this week.
The miniature iron lungs will be
placed, in the various business hou-
ses in the community and cards
will be sent out to individuals and
to the schools.
Mrs. Boggus, who has served as
the community chairman in the
March of Dimes Drives for the past
several years, says that she feels
confident that she will have the
cooperation of the community in
the present drive as she had it in
past years, and she is looking for-
ward to a successful drive for the
dimes which will contribute so
much in the final stamping out of
the dread disease poliomyelitis.
“We have almost reached our
goal, but we cannot afford to fail
in this drive—the few extra dimes
some community will contribute
will mean the difference between
success and failur'e in our fight to
eradicate the disease. Let us see
that Odem does its share to tip the
scales in the favor of complete
victory’’, said the Drive chairman.
J. E. Williams
Speaks To
Odem Kiwanis
James E. Williams, division 4
chairman of membership and at-
tendance, was the speaker at Odem
Kiwanis Club Wednesday of last
week.
Williams who is a past president
of the Odem Kiwanis Club and has
served approximately seven years
as secretary of the club, needed
no introduction to his fellow Ki-
wanians, but was given a good
build-up by A. A. Luckenbach,
weekly program chairman when he
was introduced as the speaker for
the day.
The speaker took time to care-
fully analyze the rules and regul-
ations of the Kiwanis Club as they
apply to membership and attend-
ance. He pointed out the local
club’s laxities in observing some
of the rules and called for a unified
effort on the part of the club to
carefully conform to all rules gov-
erning the club.
A. B. Austin was installed as a
new member of the Odem Kiwanis
Club with President Carroll Janicke
presenting the membership card
and Kiwanis pin to the new mem-
ber.
President Janicke and James E.
Williams announced that they will
attend the Mid-Winter Kiwanis
Conference to be held in Ft. Worth
Jan. 19.
Com. Court Grants Two
Raises; Deny all Others
Topping the agenda when the
Commissioners Court met in re-
gular session Monday morning were
salary increase requests from var-
ious county departments. With two
exceptions the court turned down
all requests for any general salary
increases.
(The commissioners court raised
their own salaries six per cent
last year.)
The only salaries increased were
those of the constable in pr'ecinct
6 and the secretary to the district
clerk. The constable’s raise was
on the recommendation of Com-
missioner Raulie Irwin. The in-
crease in salary for the constable
was $50 per month, bringing his
monthly salary up to $200 per
month. The district clerk’s request
for an increase in salary for his
secretary resulted in a $15 increase
in the monthly salary, bringing
the salary to $2,700 per annum.
The juvenile officer's salary
which had been increased by $50
per month to bring his salary to
$6,600 per annum at an earlier
date was approved at the meeting
Monday as were increases in the
travel expense for the county farm
and county home demonstration
agents. The county agent now
gets $800 per annum for travel ex-
pense and the HD agent gets $600
per year for travel.
A salary of $1,200 per year for
Judge Joe Wade as a juvenile
board member has also been added
ro the 1958 salary schedule. This
additional salary was added at this
time since the 156th District
Court over which Judge Wade pre-
sides was created after the salar-
ies were set in January 1957,
Judge John H. Miller draws a
like sum for his place on the
juvenile board as does Judge W. E.
Nicholas. According to a state-
ment by Judge Nicholas it is
mandatory that the district judges
be members of the juvenile board
in the counties where they have
jurisdiction if those counties have
juvenile boards. (The law does not
set the salary as this is done by
the commissioner’s court.)
County Tax Assessor-Collector
Davis Vickers requested a change
in the commission basis of the
special deputies who issue poll tax
receipts and motor vehicle license
in the sub-stations over the county
with an increase of 10 cents for
each such receipt or license issued.
The court granted the request,
bringing the commission basis
from 15 cents per receipt or lic-
ense to 25 cents.
.The court passed the tax-asses-
sor’s request for approval of special
deputies to help compile the 1958
tax rolls “until such time as such
deputies are needed.’’
All salaries except those listed
above remain at the 1957 level. (A
complete list of salaries will be
carried at a later date.)
Other matters acted on by the
court Monday included accepting
a bid for a high-lift for precinct 2
with Anderson Machinery Co. of
Corpus Christi submitting the only
bid. The bid was for $13,478.90 for
an Allis Chalmers machine with
a trade-in of $2,750 on the old
machine being allowed for the unit

J. A. Wise Back
To Make Home
In Odem
J. A. Wise has returned from
Beaumont where he had spent
several weeks as a patient in a
Beaumont hospital and later in the
home of his daughter.

Education Group

The San Patricio County Hale-
Aikin Committee for Study of Tex-
as Public Schools held its initial
meeting in Sinton Monday night
with representatives from all sch-
ools within the county in attend-
ance.
T. A. “Red” Harbin, superin-

Aransas Man
To Head County
March Of Dimes
Pat Kindle of Aransas Pass
has been appointed San Patricio
county campaign director for the
1958 March of Dimes, it was an-
nounced today by Joesph Ternus
of Sinton, county chapter chair-
man for the polio fighting group.
“We are looking to Mr. Kindle
to make the 1958 March of Dimes
the greatest success in the 20 years
history of the foundation,” said Mr.
Ternus. “This is a year in which
we are looking for the most in-
clusive campaign in San Patricio
county he added. Our job
now is not so much worrying about
the new and acute cases of polio.
Those can be avoided if the parents
and their children get the series
of Salk vaccine shots either from
the county health officers or their
own doctors. We are concerned
With the rehabilitation of the more
than 60 polio patients who look to
this chapter for the money which
will pay their ways to health and
more complete recovery.”
In accepting the campaign di-
rectorship, Mr. Kindle said, “The
March of Dimes, for twenty years,
has carried the burden which no
city or county could carry in the
fight against polio. The money
which has been spent in San Pat-
ricio county is more than any group
or combination of groups here
could have raised. We have been
dependent on other areas of the
United States in which polio was
not so strong.”
Most of our plans are-complete
for 1958 March of Dimes, and the
drive is already underway in some
communities. We plan to cover the
entire county this week, and to
continue the drive through the
month of January. With the help
of the community chairman, and
their co-workers, we expect no dif-
ficulties in reaching the goal set
for San Patricio County.
Library Dues
Due During
Month Of January
January is the month for re-
newal of library cards, says Mrs,.
Jessie Hanshaw, librarian at the
Odem Public Library.
With new books being added to
the library at frequent intervals
and with the modern library build-
ing which Odem now has, 1958
should be a banner year for the
readers in Odem and Edroy the
librarian and her assistant, Mrs.
J. E. Boyd, believe.
The cards are 25 cents, and how
much cheaper can one get such a
variety of reading material asks
the librarian.
Among the newest additions to
the reading matter in the Odem
Public Library is a book, “Soil, the
Yearbook of Agriculture, 1957” do-
noted by O. W. Nolen. He also gave
the library the bulletin, ‘Statistical
Abstract of Agriculture for Harris
Co. and Other Gulf Coast Counties.
“The bulletin was compiled by the
research committee of the Houston
Chamber of Cpmmerce and covers
the five-year periods between 1930
and 1955.
Also coming to the library shelves
in recent weeks are “The Wise
Garden Encyclopedia (guide to
every detail of gardening) given
by the Odem Garden Club. The
garden club also donated copies of
the National Gardener, the bulletin
of the National Council of State
Garden Clubs. The copies include
those of 1953-1955 date.
The scrapbook of the Odem Gar-
den Club covering its work from
1952 through 1957 is also on file at
the library and can be used at the
library by those interested in gar-
dening and the work being done
by tire Odem Garden Club.

$52 Average
Set Far County
Soil Bank
Monday was the opening day for
farmers to sign up for the 1958
acreage reserve phase of the Soil
Bank, according to John E. Owen,
ASC Office Manager of San Pat-
ricio and Aransas County.
The closing date for signing up
will be March 7, 1958.
'The average assigned payment
rates for land placed in the acre-
age reserve in the surrounding
counties are: Aransas County $38
an acre; Bee $34; Jim Wells $29;
Kleberg $33; Live Oak $34; Nueces
$48; Refugio $53 and San Patricio
$52.
The lowest figure set per acre
in the county was $20 while the
highest to be paid any farm will
be $61 per acre. Only three farms
in the entire county fall in the
$20 group and only 13 fall in the
highest classification. Out of the
1200 farms in the county over 900
of them fall in the $49 to $53 brac-
ket.
Notices of acreage reserve pay
rate for each farm were mailed on
January 8. Any farmer dissatis-
fied with the rate.for his farm may
appeal in writing to the bounty ASC
committee within 15 days after re-
ceipt of the notice of his rate.
Reasons and production for the
past 5 years must be given in the
letter.
Establishment of a Soil Bank base
is a requirement for participating
in the acreage reserve program this
year. A farm’s Soil Bank base is
determined by getting an average
of the basic crops planted on the
farm in 1956 and 1957.
Owen pointed out that the only
limitation for the acreage reserve
at the present time is the $3,000 a
person a farm. However, should
there be a large participation in the
acreage reserve, a county allot-
ment or a percentage of acreage
could be invoked.
Land placed in the acreage re-
serve must be kept free of noxious
weeds this includes bind weed, sun
flower's, cocklebur, morning glory
and others.
No crop may be harvested or
grazed from the 1958 acreage re-
serve.
If identical tracts of land placed
is the acreage reserve in 1957 are
placed in the acreage reserve in
1958 110 per cent of the 1958 rate
will be paid.
Land placed in the acreage re-
serve will be inspected by a re-
presentative of the county com-
mittee and the contract will be
approved iip 30 days after sign up
if land requirements are met.
The acre reserve can not be pre-
measured by the ASC Office and
the farmer must designate the acre-
age to be placed in the 1958 pro-
gram at the time of sign up.
