(Editor’s Note: A thumbnail
sketch of some Mercedes business
or professional person will be pub-
lished in the Enterprise each Week.
If you think you recognize the per-
son from the description given
phone the Enterprise at 405 and
tell us, or drop in and tell the per-
son you think it is. The name will
be published the following week).
Last time we gave you Mike
Hinojosa, manager of the Anthony
Store, many readers came up with
the right answer, but many also
failed to guess. A few told us we
were mistaken when we said he
was 43 years old, but that is right
even though he doesn’t look it.
This time we proudly present a
real old timer.
He came to Mercedes in 1910 from
Kansas. He says he remembers the
hotel, the Hidalgo bank and the
water office being here, but not
much of anything else.
He is not a native of Kansas,
but instead was born in another
country. His wife was also born
in that country. He came to the
United States in 1903 and she came
a short time later, and not long
after that they were married. He
has been in his present line since
1892, he is not in a retail store,
but instead is in one of the trades.
He is the father of five boys and
one girl, and is proud of a total
of 18 grandchildren. When he came
to Mercedes he was the onfy one
here representing his family name,
but now there are plenty bearing
that name in this area.
He remembers many dry spells
and other bad periods in the Valley
and says always the bounce back
has been stronger than ever. He
clearly remembers one period of 18
months when not a drop of rain
fell in the area.
When he arrived here he bought
10 acres of land and planted it to
vegetables. A ditch rider came by
and told him to let the water run
all night because it was going to
frost, he and a hired man worked
about all night, but as it stayed
warm they gave up about morning
and went to bed—then about 7 a.
m., after the sun had risen, the
frost came. But he still harvested
$400 worth of cabbage off an acre.
But when the frost hit he started
following his trade again and has
been steady at it ever since.
When he came to this area he
carried a rifle in the buggy for pro-
tection against bandits. He re-
members a couple asking him di-
rections and a few minutes later
seeing one of them after the soldi-
ers had shot him dead.
He loves the Valley and thinks
only Kansas can equal it.
Elias Vallejo With
Infantry In Korea
WITH THE 45TH INFANTRY
DIV. IN KOREA—Pvt. Elias Val-
lejo, son of Mrs. Maria Vallejo, 257
N. Virginia, Mercedes, Texas, re-
centl yarrived in Korea for duty
with the 45th Infantry Division.
The 45th Division has been in
Korea since December 1951. An
Oklahoma National Guard unit
called to active duty in 1950, it was
the first national guard unit to en-
ter combat afer World War II.
Vallejo ,who entered the Army
in January, 1953, was last station-
ed at Fort Hood, Texas.
He attended Mercedes High
School before entering the Army.

Truck Crushes
Woman Sleeping
Mrs. Marciano Mendez, 24, and
her one-year-old son, aliens, are in
Mercedes Hospital, due to injuries
sustained when a truck ran over
the mother’s chest as she and her
son lay sleeping in a field near
here. The mother is reported as
improving. The child was not seri-
ously hurt.
County Highway Patrolman
Charles Wroten identified the wo-
man. The officer said the woman’s
husband had arisen about 6 a. m.,
and began picking cotton in the
field where the family had spent
the night. Driver of the truck was
Gilberto Villarreal, 24, of Weslaco.
Wroten said the accident occurred
on the K. N. Jones farm, two miles
south of Mercedes.

Farming Proves To
Be Dangerous Job
With Injuries High
Farming is a dangerous job. The
risks are physical as well as fin-
ancial. In the last year of record
about 15,000 U. S. farm residents
were killed in agricultural acci-
dents. Another 1,300,000 were in-
jured.
Each farm is a separate sphere
of management and operation
which envolves a wide variety of
activities and working conditions.
The heavy toll of accidents caused
by these different farm tasks
wipes out some 17 million man days
of labor every year.
Texas farmers may face one of
the major accident creating situ-
ations this year-—labor shortages.
When hired help is scarce, the
farmer takes on more of the work
load. He toils longer hours and
becomes tired long before the job
is done. As a result, he is tempted
to take risky short cuts or post-
pone needed repairs on machinery
and buildings. This sets the stage
for crippling accidents.
Farm machinery is the big killer.
Careless handling of equipment
causes many mishaps but even a
careful operator may be hurt if he
is running broken or worn ma-
chines. A good maintenance pro-
gram for machinery could do much
to keep down farm tragedies.
Another common cause of injur-
ies is farm animals. Some accidents
with animals are unavoidable. Still,
many result from impatience on
the farmer’s part or an underesti-
mation of the animal’s dangerous
traits. An ill-tempered bull not
properly confined can easily kill or
maim the farmer, worker, of mem-
ber of the family.
Fires are a greater hazard on the
farm than in the city. They cause
3,500 of the 15,000 farm deaths each
year—not counting the millions
lost in valuable food, domestic ani-
mals, clothing, buildings and equip-
ment. These fires occur at the rate
of 300 per day and most can be
traced to defective heating units,
flammable roofing materials, over-
loaded electric wires and lack of
protection from lightning.
But the farmer and the city
dweller share- equal risks right in
£he home. Four thousand farm
residents die each year ffom acci-
dents inside the house. Thus, home
safety is a prime starting point in
eliminating accidents which rob
families of their livlihood.
Now that another, season is un-
derway, a little- more caution and
advance planning may help assure
you of being around when the time
comes to reap the harvest from
seedss you’re planting today.

Warm Springs Annual
Fund Raising Drive
To Be Discussed
On August 9, approximately 150
Divisional and Campaign chairmen,
from all sections of Texas, will
meet with officers 'and staff of the
Gonzales Warm Springs Founda-
tion for Crippled Children, to dis-
cuss final plans for the annual
fund-raising campaign which is
scheduled to open in September.
Of paramount importance to the
success of the campaign is the
opportunity this • session affords
many of these leaders to visit the
foundation for the first time, thus
enabling them to acquire a more
comprehensive knowledge of the
operational procedures, treatment
program, and the necessity for con-
ducting this annual drive for funds.
During the campaign these chair-
men will seek to raise a portion of
the funds necessary to maintain
and expand the facilities of the
Gonzales treatment center of
Physical Medicine and Rehabilita-
tion. These facilities are available
to any Texas child regardless of
race, creed, or financial condition.
This non-profit, non-sectarian
hospital was developed through She
contributions of generous Texans
from every corner of the state and
has earned the approval of the.
American College of Surgeons as
wel las other accrediting agencies.
It accepts patients ffom all over
Texas, if referring physicians and
the Foundation medical staff feels
the child will benefit from the
treatment program of physical
medicine and rehabilitation.

CP&L Leases All
Ice Properties To
South Texas, Inc.
Central Power and Light Com-
pany has leased all of its ice pro-
perties to Southern Texas Ice &
Service, Inc., and the newoperators
will assume active management
August 1, Lon C. Hill, CPL presi-
dent ,has announced.
“The leasing of our ice proper-
ties leaves Central Power and
Light Company in the sole busin/ss
of rendering electric service to the
people of South Texas,” Hill said.
“Our electric business hag grown
tremendously in recent years until
it now comprises about 92 per cent
of our total business, with ice ac-
counting for the remaining eight
per cent. With the electric service
requirements of South Texas still
increasing at a rapid rate, we feel
that we can best serve the interests
of our customers and our company
by devoting all of the time and
energy of our personnel to thi&
single activity.
“In taking this important step,
however, we have not overlooked
our responsibility to our ice custo-
mers and our ice employees,” Hill
asserted. “Good ice service is vital
to the economy of South Texas,
not only in homes and business es-
tablishments but also in the sea-
food industry and the fruit and
vegetable-producing areas where
an adequate supply of ice is re-
quired to insure safe delivery of
these products to distant markets.
For that reason we have made
every effort to assure that the suc-
cessors to CPL in the ice business
would be experienced operators
capable of maintaining high qual-
ity service.
“The management of Southern
Texas Ice & Service, Inc., has had
many years ofexperience in the
ice business under conditions close-
ly approximating those of South
Texas. They carry on extensive
operations in all phases of the ice
business, including railroad car and
truck icing, in the Eastern, South-
eastern, middle western and south-
western parts of the United States.
“Although Central Power and
Light Company does not have any
part in the ownership or manage-
ment of Southern Texas Ice & Ser-
vice,” Hill said, “we believe this
cofpany will do a good job and
that the change in managenjen^
will involve no inconvenience to our
former customers. We urge these
ice users to patronize the new gom.’
pany with full confidence that their
business will be appreciated and
merited.”
Charles J. Gregory, president of-
Southern Texas Ice & Service, ex-
pressed enthusiasm over the econ-
omic future of South Texas and
said his company welcomed the op-
portunity of serving the ice users
of this area.
“This is a rich, growing terri-
tory and we look forward to hav-
ing a part in its future economic
development,” Gregory said. “Ice
is our business, and we feel that
our ‘know how’ will enable us to
provide service of the highest qual-
ity. We expect to be good citizens
of each community we serve and
to share in their progress.”
Properties involved in the lease
include ice plants, docks, vending
stations, and other equipment lo-
cated in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley, Winter Garden, Gulf Coast,
Guadalupe Valley and Corpus Chris-
