Beaten Path
Mary Cornett Winebrenner
At 9:30 a. m. Wednesday, May
30 a Memorial Day service will
be held in Evergreen Cemetery
at Odem.
This is a ceremony which each
of us should attend. And as we
gather around the grave of one
of the 17 veterans buried there
we should remember that the
soldier sleeping there is repre-
sentative of all those men and
women who have made our Na-
tion what it is and have kept our
freedom intact through the years.
It would be well for us to rem-
ember- as we gather there that
next to God we owe allegiance
to our Country. And to the men
and women who have fought bled
and died to give us a Nation and
to preserve our liberty we owe a
debt of gratitude.
In this age of nuclear war wea-
pons when fear and unrest grips
the hearts of peoples around the
world it is well that we Ameri-
cans pause for a few moments to
reflect on the history of our coun-
try and the deeds of courage of
those who have “made and pre-
served us a Nation.” It will be
well for us to think of the
trail of blood streaked across the
snow by the feet of weary men
at Valley Forge; the men who
wore “the Blue and Grey”, whose
graves were decorated in a ges-
ture to heal the wounds of an
internal war; the sinking of the
Maine where American lads met
death; the “crosses row on row”
that mark the graves of Ameri-
can servicemen and servicewomen
who died on land and sea and in
the air in World Wars I and
II: and the blue waters of the
oceans and seas around the world
that cradle our kids died that we
might live and enjoy the free-
dom purchased and preserved so
dearly for us.
But foremost in our hearts
should be the conviction of the
love for God which caused our
forefathers to throw off the shac-
kles of tyranny and establish for
us a Nation wherein we might
worship God according to the
dictate of our own conscience.
And as we gather in Evergreen
Cemetery to pay homage to those
who have done so much to in-
sure our freedom let us not for-
get to lift our hearts in a pray-
er of gratitude to God for giv-
ing to America a place of leader-
ship in the world and to petition
grace that will enable us to meet
the challenge that is ours as a
world leader.
Let each of us attend the cere-
mony on Wednesday morning ad
decorate the graves of our loved
ones there in Evergreen Ceme-
tery. And may each of us- then
turn back to our daily duties with
a pledge of allegiance to our God
and to our Country, and a vow
to our loved ones gone pn before
us that we shall so live our days
that our lives will honor them.

Health Dept.
Closes Unit
In Aransas Pass
In a letter to the Commissioners
Court Dr. C. A. Selby has announ-
ced his intention of discontinuing
the operation of the County Heal-
th Unit Clinics in Aransas Pass.
This decision on the part of the
director of the County Health Unit
grew out of his failure to find
space suitable for County Health
Unit clinical work after the Aran-
sas Pass City Council had asked
for the lease on the room in or-
der that the Junior Chamber of
Commerce might use the room.
The city council offered the use
of a room behind the Police Dep-
artment offices for clinical pur-
poses, but, according to Dr. Sel-
by’s letter to the commissioners
court, the suggested room, in his
opnion, was unsuitable for the
work of the Health Unit Clinics,
and it was therefore his intention
to close the clinics heretofore held
in Aransas Pass. Dr. Selby is
looking into the matter of reestab-
lishing the clinics at Ingleside, if
suitable quarters can be found
there.
Attached to Dr. Selby’s letter to
the Commissioners Court was a
copy of the letter which he had re-
ceived from the Aransas Pass
City Council explaining why that
body had decided to ask the re-
lease of the room in the Lone
Stqr Park Building thatJ it might
be used for the office of the Jun-
ior Chamber of Commerce. The
Council felt that since the JC’s
has a full time employee to staff
ifs office on a full-time basi%
that a more practical and econ-
omic use of the park facilities
could be obtained by giving the
Junior Chamber of Commerce use
of the room.
Judge W. E. Nicholas read the
two letters at a meeting of the
commissioners court last week.
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Uehlinger
of Corpus Christi visited briefly
here with his aunt, Mrs. W. M.
Winebrenner, on Friday afternoon.
Mrs. D. W. Eckols of Houma,
La. is visiting here in the home
of her cousin, Mrs. J. V. Mont-
gomery and at Sinton in the home
of another cousin, Mrs. Ward
Moore. Mrs. Eckols came to Tex-
as to attend the funeral of her
uncle, J. S. Jeskins and has re-
mained for a visit with relatives
in South Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Shackel-
ford and daughters have returned
from a Mother’s Day visit with
his mother, Mrs. C. J. Shackel-
ford, in El Campo. Mrs. Shackel-
ford and the children went over
on Friday and Mr. Shackelford
joined th^em on Sunday and ac-
companied them home.

George Fisher
Speaks To The
Kiwanis Club
George Fisher, Odem High
School coach, sparked his speech
to the Kiwanis Club on Wednes-
day noon with wit and humor as
he told some of the “Believe-it-
or-Not” stories of professional
baseball and football.
Fisher, who has played profes-
sional baseball, and who is now
a member of the Plymouth Oilers
team, is a native of Tennessee
but somewhere along the line he
has lost the traditional “Southern
drawl” and clips off his words
with the speed of a fast ball.
He matches the speed of his words
with hand motions to give action
as well as vividness to his speech.
He kept his listeners in stitches
from his introductory remarks to
the close of his talk.
The speaker gave a personal
touch to his talk in giving a
brief outline of the record of the
Odem high school football games
for the past year.
Present at the luncheon-meet-
ing to make up an inter-club
meeting were the following mem-
bers of the West Urban Kiwanis
Club of Corpus Christi, Curtis B.
Dyer, president; Dan Wright,
chairman of support of church;
Dick Bradley Sr., chairman of
boys and girls’ work; Vernon E.
Whitley, inter-club chairman; and
Woody Wilson, chairman of pro-
ject committee.
Other guests from out of town
were Johnnie E. Brown, editor of
the Sinton Enterprise, Harry Coin
and Joe Honson, all of Sinton.

Services Held
May 13 For
J. S. Jenkins
J. S. Jenkins, 79 passed away
at his home in Brownsville on
May 10 following a long illness
and was buried in Glenwood Cem-
etery at Utopia, on May 13. .
James Singleton Jenkins was
born in Hempstead on June 28,
1877. At the age of 17 he started
railroading as an engine oiler on
the H&TC Railroad. He climbed
from that position to that of con-
ductor, learning the work “from
the ground up.”
There was a period- of several
years when Jenkins forsook his
career as a railroad man and
turned to farming as a livelihood.
Furtune smiled on the railroad
conductor turned farmer and he
amasses fortune on a huge
farm lying close by the Brazos
River in the Hearne area. But
the year of 1920 reversed the pic-
ture and Jenkins, along with scores
of other farmers, found his wealth
swept away in a crop failure
throughout the area in which he
lived. Bariks closed and holdings
were lost or had to be sold.
Three years later Jenkins turned
again to the work he knew best-
railroading. He went to work as
a railroad conductor for the Sug-
arland Industries which owned
their own railroad. He went to
the Rio Grande Valley shortly af-
terward to Supervise the build-
ing of a stretch of railroad be-
tween Sam Fordyce and Rio
Grande City. When the railroad
connecting the two towns and own-
ed by the Sugarland Industries
was completed it was J. S. Jen-
kins who served as conductor
on the first train brough into the
Rio Grande City.
In 1926 the Missouri-Pacific
Lines bought the railroad from
the Sugarland Industries and Jen-
kins was employed by the Mo-
Pac as conductor, a position he
held until he retired a little more
than a year ago. He worked on
after he had reached the age at
which he might retire, because
of sheer love for railroading.
Soon after his retirement Mr. and
Mrs. Jenkins purchases^. home in
Brownsville, and they were living
there at the time of his' death.
Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins during
the past several years had visited
frequently in the homes of their
daughters, Mrs. J. V. Montgomery
of Odem and Mrs. Ward Moore
of Sinton.
Mr. Jenkins was a member of
the Episcopal Church and a min-
ister of that faith conducted the
funeral servcies in Hartsfield Fun-
eral Home at Hearne, Mr. Jen-
kins’ old hometown. Burial was in
the family burial plot in Glen-
wood Cemetery at Utopia.
Mr. Jenkins was also a mem-
ber of the Odd Fellows and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Conduc-
tors.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
J. S. Jenkins of Brownsville; three
daughters, Mrs. Montgomery of
Odem, Mrs. Moore of Sinton and
Mrs. J. C. Dahlman of Kingsville;
three grandchildren, Mrs. Dan
Null of Corpus Christi, Mrs. Sher-
rill Oakes, of Brownsville, and Mrs
C. E. Brown of Odem; and four
greatgrandchildren Monty Roche
Nicia and Bree Oakes and Timoth-
y Brown.
Mr. and Mrs. A.- N. Smith were
business visitors in Beeville one
day last week.
