'■now plan to alter their strategy
and ;try to insure another victory
-next time by keeping right on
the job frotn now right through
the 1956 primaries.
One national columnist, com-
menting on the Texas election,
remarked that the conservatives
of this state have finally realized
“that a political party cannot be
captured by frontal assault.. It
must be captured by patient, quiet
work at the precinct level.”

ports.
Agency Reorganized
Re-organization in the Texas Ed-
ucation Agency’s high officialdom
came about as the result of the
resignation of L. P. Sturgeon, as-
sociate commissioner of educa-
tion, who will become public re-
lations director • for the Texas
State Teachers Association.
Moving up in the agency will
be Warren Hitt, who becomes de-
puty commissioner of education;
Bascom Hayes, who will" be assis-
tant commissioner for instruction;
and M. A. Browning, who be-
comes .assistant commissioner for
vocational education.
Dr. J. W. Edgar, commissioner
of education, recommended the
changes.
Also selected was a new su-
perintendent for the Austin School
for the Deaf: John F. Grace,
who hhd been principal of Gal-
laudet, School for the Deaf in St.
Louis.
Grace suceeds Roy M. Steels,
who moved to Colorado.
State Revenue Increased
In the fiscal year ended Au-
gust 31, the State government took
in $790,556,058, or nearly $55 mil-
lion more than the total for the
previous 12 months.
Biggest items in the state’s bud-
get are schools (about $255 mil-
lion, up $26 million); welfare
(about $158 million, up $20 mil-
lion); and highways (about $162
million, up $5 million).
Accounting for much of the
boost in revenue were increases
in taxes on oil, natural gas, mo-
tor fuel, and franchises. There
was an $18 million increase in
federal aid for public welfare.
Added to endownent funds was
$28 million from mineral bonuses
and royalties.
The first major national labor
organization in the USA was
known as the “Knights of Labor.”
The Cape to Cairo Railroad was
completed in 1918.
DOGS
Bringing Home the Puppy
Many veterinarians throughout
the country are now distributing a
little booklet on puppy care which
contains some advice so good we
quote it:
“Three out of four families that
get a new puppy make one or
more of these mistakes: Taking
the puppy from the litter and the
security of the only home he has
ever known, they put him in a big,
noisy, speeding automobile; let
him look out, at landscapes that go
rushing by; bring him into an
overheated house; let the children
fondle him; take him out on a
string to visit the neighbors; give
him food and water right away;
scold him when he disgraces him-
self on the rug; and lock him in
the kitchen where he cries all
night.

18-Year-Old
Wins Contest
PORT ISABEL — An 18-year-
old Corpus Christi schoolboy is
the winner of the first annual
Padre Beach art contest sponsor-
ed by John L. Tompkins -and
Company of Corpus Christi, Port
Isabel, and Brownsville.
He is Dick Turner, whose paint-
ing of lofty dunes was judged to
be the best of 15 entries depict-
ing the booming resort area on
the south tip of famed Padre
Island.
He called his paint. “Shadows
in the Sand.”
Second place went to Kay By-,
num of Corpus Christi, with a
painting named “Late Afternoon,
and third honors were won by
Mrs. Lilian Young of San Juan,
whose entry was entitled The
J etties.*}
Katherine Dinn Ford of Corpus,
Christi received honorable mem
tion.
The judges were Mrs. W. W.
Ely and Mrs. J. W.. Worthington,
both of Brownsville.
The winner received a prize
of $100. The second place award
was $50, and'the third-place prize
was $25.
The prizes were provided by
Mr. and Mrs. John L. Tompkins,
developers of Padre Beach.
Mrs. Tompkins planned the con-
test with the assistance of Mrs.
Reuben Welsh of Brownsville,
president of the Brownsville Art
League.
The Padre Beach resort area
was connected with the Texas
mainland at Port Isabel last Feb-
ruary by a $2,750,000 causeway
constructed by Cameron County.
Already close to 300,000 persons
have visited the picturesque island
strip which is promising to bloom
into a major year-around resort
and recreation zrea.

held at the Campbell Shell Shop
in Port Isabel. The paintings will
remain on display there for sever-
al weeks.
