Library Notes
By Marvel King
Holidays are so lovely and
such fun, but there is much to
be said for routine and back to
the everyday business living
and working.
While this librarian was out
for a few times there were new
people from the park area in
for library cards: Mr. and Mrs.
Lloyd A. Swanson of Renwick,
Iowa, Mrs. Vayda Goldberg of
Prescott, Ariz., and Mr. and
Mrs. E. Bourquin of Warren,
Illinois. Mr. and Mrs. Bourquin
are at Sunrise Beach and are
friends of Mr. and Mrs. S.
Ellington. All four have gone
farther south to get away from
the damp, cold weather. They
will be back.
An interesting couple signing
for library cards this
week were Mr. and Mrs. Ar-
thur Kruger of Red Wing,
Minn. Mrs. Kruger is retired
from Sears as credit manager
and Mr. Kruger retired from J.
C. Penney where he was head
of men’s furnishings. Looks
like a merger of the “Big
Two”. This is their third year
at Sunrise Beach.
Mr. and Mrs. Kruger have
three daughters. One daughter
lives in London, so Mrs. Kruger
has been to Europe four times.
Mr. Kruger fishes and Mrs.
Kruger reads. She says she has
read 70 of Agatha Christie’s 80
books. She had a list of the ten
she hasn’t read, and I believe
Mathis Public Library will be
able to supply the missing ten
or at least a part of them.
We are grateful to the
following people for nice book
donations, Mrs. Jeanne Baen,
Thomas Engler, Mrs. Mae
Dickerson, Mrs. E. H. Eggert
Jr., Mrs. Sue Auxer, and Mrs.
Patricia Appling.
Three donations to the
Memorial Fund were also
made.
To date 159 library cards
have been issued and we are
looking for many more.
A group of Cub Scouts and
their leader, Mrs. Johnson,
were in, learning how to use the
card catalogue, and how to
check out books. We are very
grateful to this scout leader for
bringing this group by.
While being grateful for the
Winter Texans, we are not
unmindful of our own
hometown folk for checking in
and checking out books.
Braving the really cold day
were Mrs. Hugh Allen and her
son, David Elyea, for their
basket of books.
Come to the library.
PATTON-

those five counties are filed in
the 36th District Court.
Patton stated that, “It is
obvious that this Court has a
heavy case load, and the Judge
must work diligently to keep it
moving. We are all in-
creasingly concerned about the
narcotics problem, which has
caused not only more drug
cases, but also other criminal
cases related to drugs, in-
cluding robbery, burglary,
rape and murder. One
deterrent to crime is swift and
certain justice, with uniformity
of punishment. I will work hard
to see that all cases, civil and
criminal, are disposed of
promptly, justly and fairly.”
“For almost 25 years, I have
been engaged in a busy general
law practice, involved in
almost every field of the law,
and have participated in some
of the most complex lawsuits in
this area,” Patton said. “By
reason of training and ex-
perience, I feel qualified to
fulfill the duties of District
Judge.” He pointed out that in
addition to trial work, he has
handled probate matters, real
estate transactions, oil and gas
business, and other legal
business through tout the area.
The Beeville attorney, fifth
in a family of six children
started to school in Aransas
Pass where his father was
employed at Harbor Island in
the early 1930’s until he was
transferred to Conroe, Texas.
Patton attended school there,
growing up and working in the
Conroe oil field.
After his father’s death, his
family moved to Corpus
Christi, wnere he worked and
attended Del Mar College,
completing his pre-law work
and obtaining his law degree at
The University of Texas. In
1953, he and his wife, Lottie,
and their first of four children,
moved to Beeville where he
became associated with
George P. Morrill in the
general practice of law. In 1957
the firm of Morrill & Patton
was formed, and continues to
this date. He is licensed to
practice before the Texas.
Supreme Court and all of the
State Courts of Texas, the U. S.
Supreme Court, the U. S. 5th
Circuit Court of Appeals, and
the U. S. District Court,
Southern District of Texas.
Patton has been active in
numerous civic and social
activites; serving as Beeville
City Judge for several years,

implement an effective
campaign.
“I am a candidate for
election to the office of District
Attorney for the 36th District of
Texas Comprising Aransas,
Bee, Live Oak, McMullen and
San Patricio counties, and
have applied to have my name
placed on the ballot in the
Democratic Primary.
The position of District At-
torney will be on the ballot due
to the resignation of John H.
Flinn who is seeking the office
of District Judge.
“I have enjoyed serving as
Assistant District Attorney for
this district since April, 1975,
and have been encouraged by
many of its citizens to run for
district attorney. I have found
that the people in this district
desire a system of criminal
justice that operates efficiently
and timely, that is ad-
ministered fairly and
ethically, and that yields
results worthy of the purpose
for which it exists.
“With their support I know I
can provide them with a
district attorney’s office that
will meet those standards, and
therefore I seek this op-
portunity to assume respon-
sibility for all felony
prosecution in these five
counties.
“I am a 1961 graduate of
North Texas State University.
In 1962 I began service with the
U. S. Air Force as a pilot and
remained until release from
active duty with the rank of
Captain in 1967 to attend the
University of Texas School of
Law. I received a Doctor of
Jurisprudence degree and was
licensed to practice law in
Texas in 1970. After working
for the Supreme Court of Texas
for one year, I became
associated with the law firm of
Porter, Taylor, Gonzales,
Thompson and Rogers in
Corpus Christi. In 1974 I began
my prosecutorial experience
with the Nueces County
District Attorney’s Office
where I remained until coming
to this district. C
“I am a permanent resident
of Portland where my wife,
Mary, and I attend the First
United Methodist Church. I am
a member of the State Bar of
Texas, the Texas District and
County Attorneys’ Association
and the Coastal Bend Peace
Officers Association.

GUIDELINES
A simple way to save
energy and reduce utility
costs is to wash clothes in
warm or cold water. If
everyone followed this
simple procedure savings
would amount to the
equivalent of 100,000 bar-
rels of oil per day. That is
2Vz per cent of the total
demand for residential
heating — enough to heat
1.6 million homes in
winter.

and four guests present.
In closing, the leaders ad-
monished those present “to go
forth and serve those in need! ”

blue roses and cascading water
fountain.

cloth and centerpiece of blue
flowers and a chocolate cake.
Finger sandwiches, crackers,
nuts, and mints were also
served.

Veletta Duke of Mathis, Miss

struction of Corpus Christi.
