racers themselves and their
families.

monopolized the entire third per-
iod.

J. B. Freiley, a 140-pound jun-
ior, was the leading ground
gainer for the Bulldogs. Bill
Adams, Bob Barber and Diaz,
took Bob Jennings’ handoffs for
the Mathis yardage.
Dennis Greenwood, Willie
Jackson, Ben Crouch and Char-
les Knolle were mainly respon-
sible for holding' the Bulldogs
scoreless.

$5-A-Plate Pancake
Supper For C&L Fund
A $5 per plate pancake supp-
er will be held Friday, Oct.
14, to raise funds for the
Mathis Clubs and Library con-
struction costs it was announc-
ed at the Tuesday Rotary lun-
cheon.
The supper will be held from
5 to 7:30 preceeding the Woods-
boro football game. The Pirate
Band is scheduled to parade
down main street to start the
supper rolling.
The cost will be $5 per adult
over high school age. All child-
ren with adults will be admitt-
ed free. Children not accompan-
ied by adults will be charged
50-cents per plate.
Winston Bott, Rotary presi-
dent, said the clubs were “real
serious about raising funds to
complete the. C & L building*.
We can’t do it with penny-ante
efforts.”
“The $5 per plate is nothing
but a contribution since we are
expecting to have everything
for the supper donated free of
charge,” he said.
Rotary two weeks ago ann-
ounced its intention of reviving
interest in completing the C&L
building.
At the luncheon Tuesday re-
presentatives of six of the eight
clubs that are members of the
C&L group were present to
hear the special plans being
made.
A board meeting was sche-
duled Tuesday night for Rota-
ry’s program to be acted upon.
“Rotary wants to take the job
of managing and supervising
the construction if the work to
be done will be on a voluntary
contribution basis,” Bott said.
“We want to do it as nearly
free as we can,” he said.
He mentioned several offers
for free labor and materials
that have already been made.
Present at Rotary were Mrs.
Jack Miller, BPW Club; Mrs.
Edgar H. Eggert Jr., Literary
Club; Mi’s. Walter Murphy,
Hooked Rug Club; Mrs. Adolph
Bomer, Garden Club; and Mrs.
Bob Miller, Study Club.
Adolph Bomer will be chair-
fan of the food committee;
Milton Boatwright, tickets; Pa-
ul Mahoney, serving; and John
Key, cooking. Other club-mem-
bers of the C&L association are
being asked to assist in the pro-
motion, Bott said.
There is currently more than
$4,200 in the C&L treasury,
$103,000-5104,000 SHORTAGE
Former Odem Banker
Indicted In FederalCourt
Cleatus O. Hawkins, former
cashier and executive vice-presi-
dent of the First State Bank of
Odem, was indicted by a Fed-
eral grand jury in Laredo last
week in connection with a short-
age of bank funds discovered
last May.
The nine-point indictment is for
false entries made in the bank
books and are in violation of
Section 1005 of Title 18 of the
U. S. Code, said William Butler,
federal attorney in Houston, in a
telephone conversation Monday
afternoon. Butler further stated
that the specific charges in the
indictment account for a short-
age of $96,000 of the total short-
age which runs between $103,000
and $104,000. The false entries
ran from $250 to $50,000. •
A. H. Voss, president of the
bank, said that the $100,000 bond
and the salvage clause in. the
contract of that bond covers the
entire shortage and that no bank
depositors will lose one penny.
The indictment against Haw-
kins was delivered to the clerk
of the U. S. District Court in
Corpus Christi as a sealed in-
dictment last week. A w a r-
rant was issued said Butler but
Hawkins voluntarily surrendered
himself Monday afternoon and
was arraigned before U. S. Com-
missioner James Martin. Haw-
kins’ bond was set at $5,000 and
his bondsmen are two Corpus'
Christi businessmen, Joe Miller
and Fred N. Kelly, according to
Penrod 'Harris of the FBI in
Corpus Christi.
Voss voiced an opinion that
“an outsider is involved in the
shortage of bank funds,” but he
did not name the person he feels
is involved in the shortage, but
described the person only as
“an outsider to the bank and a
former resident of Odem.”
When Penrod Harris of the
FBI was contacted for comment
on the possibility of an indict-
ment other than the one against
Hawkins being returned in the
matter of the Odem bank fund
shortage, the federal agent said
p. m. Saturday with registration
in the new post home. A coffee
social will honor department of-
ficers at Crawford’s.
The public is invited to the
western dance in the Catholic
Hall in old San Patricio. It
starts at 8 p. m. Music will be
furnished by the Coastal Bend
Play Boys.
Registration begins again at
8 p. m. Sunday at the post home.
At 9:30 a. m. a memorial ser-
vice will be held, followed by
an address by Department Com-,
mander Victor Afflerbach. A’
civilian guest of honor will be
presented. The public is invited
to attend this session.
A luncheon will be held from
noon until 1 p. m. with the pub-
lic again invited.
From 1 p. m. to 1:45 p. m.
the principal speaker will make,
his address. At 1:45 p. m. the
VFW business meeting will be
held at the post until adjourna-
ment at 4:30 p. m. The Auxi-
liary will also hold its business
meeting during this time at
Crawford’s Mesquite Room with
adjournament also scheduled for.
4:30 p. m.
Near Final
Gin Count
Is 68,067
Final cotton count for San
Patricio County this week stood
at 68,067 bales.
The 1960 crop passed 1959’s
total of 63,980 by 5,087 bales.
This year rain plagued farm-
ers the entire harvest period.
August was an unusually wet
month with from 8 to 12 inches
reported from various sections
of the county.
The rain caused cotton grades
to downgrade considerably, caus-
iny losses from $20 to $30 per
bale.
that since the federal grand
jury, after having studied all
facts, saw fit to return an in-
dictment against Hawkins only,
he saw no reason for thinking
that any other person Will be in-
dicted in the matter.
Voss also said that the cur-
rent deposits in the Odem bank
run around $1,250,000, which is a
new high.
The federal attorney said in
his statement that the maxi-
mum penalty which can foe as-
sessed on conviction on the en-
tire nine points of the indict-
ment against Hawkins is a fine
of $45,000 or confinement in the
Federal prison for a period of
45 years, or both. And this max-
imum penalty can foe assessed
only if punishment for the sep-
arate convictions on the nine
charges run successively rather
than concurrently.
Hawkins is 33 years of age,
married and the father of three
small children. His family is
now in San Antonio.
Hawkins came to Odem from
Corpus Christi on July 1, 1957
to' assume his duties as cashier
and executive vice-president of
the Odem bank. He had served
as vice-president of the Mer-
cantile National Bank of Corpus
Christi immediately prior to his
coming to the Odem bank. He
had held pi’evious positions with
the Kleberg National Bank of
Kingsville and the Central Nat-
ional Bank at San Angelo.
He had served as an enlisted
man in the U. S. Armed Forces
for 18 months during the last
part of World War II. Follow-
ing his separation from the In-
fantry at the close of the war,
Hawkins studied banking and
finance at the University of Tex-
as School of Business. He left
the University in 1951 before he
had qompleted work for a de-
gree to accept the position in the
Kleberg National .Bank.
He is a past president of the
Gulf Coast Chapter of the Ame-
rican Institute of Banking and
in 1958 taught evening courses
