W. L. Jones, chairman of the farm
and ranch committee of the San An-
tonio Chamber of Commerce, was a
guest at the meeting Wednesday of
the Crystal City Chamber of Com-
merce.
He brought greetings from the San
Antonio organization and compli-
mented the Crystal City Chamber
for its weekly meeting which he said
was quite unusual. 'This was his first
visit to Crystal City but said this was
one of the best advertised towns in
the counry because of Popeye. He
said San Antonio is interested in de-
velopments in every community in
its trade area. This particular area,
he said, had natural advantages other
areas did not have and our possi-
bilities have only been scratched
around the surface.
The speaker brought a rather in-
teresting message, particularly in
reference to the wasting or building
and preserving of our soils, which is
the foundation of our prosperity.
There were 44 present, including
several visitors.

Crystal City People
Should Be More
Safety Conscious
Football
Crystal City 0 Carrizo Springs 14
The largest crowd ever to attend
a football game on the local field was
out for the show last Friday night.
Too bad it had to be the same time
picked by the weatherman for a nice
rain. Many were no doubt dis-
appointed, among the local people, at
the turn of events in the fateful third
quarter. The Javelins looked good in
the first half; leading on downs,
yardage gained and penetrations.
Nevertheless, the Wildcats took over
in the third quarter, after one of
many fumbles, and went over for the I
first counter. The kick for goal was I
good, and the count stood 7-0 in fa-j
vor of Carrizo. Lady Luck really'
turned her back on the locals in the j
kickoff following the score, for the I
kick from Carrizo was low and hard,
and upon striking one of the Jave-
lins in the midriff, bounct4i back to
Carrizo who covered on the 45-yard
line. Before the locals could get back
on the beam another score had been
chalked up against them.
And—so ended .a hard and clean
fought game — the dtK* Jhat is looked
forward to, year after year.
As the crowd left the rain-soaked
field one might hear, “Well, we will
beat them the next time—surely
hope we can have a dry field.”
The Javelins go to Sabinal for an-
other district game Friday night. If
they can take this one, they will be
elgible to play Devine for the District
Championship the latter part of the
month.
Heads up and chins out, Fellows;
you can’t keep good men down!

gaton in spare time. The building
contains approximately three thou-
sand and five hundred cement blocks.
The interior is cream and white Cel-
otex, with the furniture in dark oak

Education—
A Mighty Force
The above is the title of a little
pamphlet on our desk dealing with
EDUCATION and its role in our fu-
ture. Next week, and maybe for sev-
eral weeks, we hope to give excerpts
from this pamphlet. This week we
quote just the first page, towit: ,
What Makes a Nation Great
"Not its land, not its mines, not its
rivers, not its forests, not its money
—imporant as these things are. Only
PEOPLE MAKE A NATION TRULY
GREAT.
“Natural resources are of vital con-
cern to a nation but they must be
developed and Used by people. Our
country is richly blessed with the
gifts of nature.
“Science and technology—strictly
man-made—are producing synthetic
substitute for certain natural re-
sources that we lack and helping to
protect and develop others. The fu-
ture is bright with hope because ed-
ucated MEN AND WOMEN can do
these things.
“In like manner, people determine
the great social trends that carry a
nation forward to the more perfect
achievement of justice and liberty or
backward to barbarism and brutal-
ity. The story of every family, every
organ (cation, every group, every
community, every nation is the story
of people.
“All victories in war and peace are
Won by people. They mine the ore.
They make the steel. They fashion
the weapons. They fight the battles.
They make or break the peace.
“We can build a greater and nobler
America only as we develop human
resources.”

WAVE RUTH GREER
CALLS FROM HAWAII
Mrs. Jim Greer says her daughter,

tioned and told her she hoped to be
home soon. Mrs. Greer thinks per-
haps, Ruth may

Produce Starting
r
To Move In County
Produce is starting to move from
the county, at present being mostly
peppers and tomatoes, and is said to
be bringing a good price. There are
some 500 acres of tomatoes at La
Pryor, nearly all of which is report-
ed good. Some say if the growers get
the breaks by having late frosts, etc.,
they will make lots of money. Pep-
per growers are also doing well so
far.
There appears to be a demand for
plants and some plants may start
moving within the next week or ten
days. It looks as if the price will
be pretty good to start the season.
Last year plant growers did not do
so well. • v
Spinach acreage locally is about the ' **
same as last year, but it is too early
to make predictions.
