Trail Riders Are
In Odem Saturday
The South Texas Riders more
than 500 strong stopped in Odem
for lunch at Jimmie’s Cafe Sat-
urday, February 6, for their 11th
trip “up the trail” to San An-
tonio to attend the annual rodeo
and livestock show to be held in
that city.
Howard Stulting, trail boss,
said that 1,000 buttons for the
trail ride had been prepared and
all except 15 or 20 of the but-
tons were picked up by those
placing the orders, indicating
this was one of the largest
groups ever to leave Corpus
Christi for the annual trek to
San Antonio.
There were about 500 riding
horseback while others rode on
six covered spring wagons,
a surrey, a pony cart and one on
a bicycle. There was the usual
number of other vehicles, includ-
ing the sound truck, Red Cross
bus, the chuck wagon and cater-
er’s bus and private automobi-
les. Seen in one of the station
wagons were Mrs. Frank Wilson
of Corpus Christi, but formerly
of Odem and her daughter, Mo-
zelle, Mrs. M. Emanuel also
of Corpus Christ. Marsha was
riding horseback and her moth-
er and grandmother had come
along to take her back to Corpus
Christi in time to be in school
on Monday morning. It was
Marsha’s first trip “up the
trail”.
It is always an hour for the
local young people to mingle
with the South Texas Riders dur-
ing the time the riders are in
Odem to feed themselves and
their animals. Saturday was no
exception to this rule — A good
crowd turned out to greet the
Riders.

Off The s I
Beaten Path
By Mary Wlnebrenner
Anyone can make an error at
any time and most of us do
make far too many errors. But
I have not been able to under-
stand how the Texas Highway
Department made the flagrant
error it made in a road sign
standing only a few feet from
the Odem-Edroy Times office
and has let that erroneous sign
stand there as long as it has
without a correction having been
made. The sign reads: “Sinton
8” and just beneath is “Refug o
31”. The space is there for the
letter “i” in Refugio, but it is
missing from the new signboard.
Perhaps it was left out on pur-
pose for the department to check
on how people, as.a whole, read
road signs. I have been watch-
ing the sign each day since I
first had it called to my at-
tention. (I am so unobservant
that I could not even hazard a
guess as to how long the road
sign has been there. But I
would say it is NEW and has
been there for a very short
while.
I stopped long enough while
writing this to go out and ask 5
persons if they had noticed the
sign and if they knew how long
the sign in error had been there.
Not one of those persons had
noticed the signboard, much
less the error. That still does not
prove that sign boards are not
useful on highways, byways,
streets and country roads. If
you do not believe that try driv-
ing over a stretch of road or
street without those necessary-
sign boards.
In the past five years I have
made one trip each week or 10^
days out to the rest home where
my sister, Anne Underwood,
makes her home. And I had
made that trip so often that I
thought I could find my way
there under any circumstance.
But when Hurricane Celia
snatched the names of the
streets I had traveled and de-
tour signs were set up at various
points along the way I was con-
sistently “lost” on my way to
The Hearth. On several occas-
ions I spent more time finding
my way there than I had to
spend with my sister.
But I have no trouble at all
getting back from the rest home.
That patch has not been changed
by detours. It is only when I go
down town in Corpus Christi be-
fore going to the home that I get
lost getting out there.
Now, I am going to have to be
more observant about the road
sign at my corner or someone
will ask me “When did the
highway department correct the
spelling on the signboard near
your office?” and I shall have to
be saying that I do not know.
I am just that unobservant! If
someone had not called my at-
tention to the signboard with its
error last week I doubt that I
would have ever noticed it all
all!
