“I have reasonable grounds \o g g,
believe that there are milk dealers ;^|ak
in Cuero selling milk in violation

filed," Dr. Putman stated. “I

A membership campaign to in-
crease the ranks of the present
working organization and to widen
the scope of its activities is pro-
posed among the initial move-
ments to be sponsored by Fred
Ward, who was recently appointed
to serve as secretary-manager of
the Cuero Chamber of Commerce.
A tentative program was outlined
by Mr. Ward at the first meeting
of Ihe Chamber of Commerce di-
rectors at which he was present,
occurring on Thursday night, and
attended by twelve of the fourteen
members of the directorship.
In mapping out the plan of the
membership campaign. Mr. Ward
pointed out that to keep alive in-
terest in Chamber of Commerce
work it is most necessary to enlist
new members each year not only
to maintain the proper proportion
of active members but to inject
“new blood” into the organization.
Following the completion of the
drive for new members, the budget
for the ensuing year will be work-
ed out.
A most important matter to
come before the meeting of di-
rectors was the local airport stiua-
tion. A committee was appointed
to visit propised sites for a landing
field and to go further into the
economics of the whole subject. A
report of the findings of the com-
mittee is to bar made at the next
meeting of the directorship in Oc-
tober.
A publicity matter was brought
before the meeting by the Pub-
licity Committee relative to the
advertising of Cuero by Walter
MF « • • I Bishop John M. Moore of Dallas.

i considered one of the outstanding

I Bishop Moore will preach at 11 a
~ j m. at the Methodist church and at
3 p. m. he will address a meeting
of the fa- j of pastors and representatives from j
irator, U. churches in nearby towns and |
Heflin of i communities. j
‘d by the I Rev- J w Black, pastor of the
'itv J Ala- j local church ln speaking of the j

of our local church but all friends j
EJlyn who can do so, to have the privil-
2ge of hearing him.”
Bishop Moore’s visit to Cuero has

Efforts on the part of Coach
Zimmerman and a member of
. The Record staff to acquire new
new property that could be
enclosed and would serve as a
j| desirable location for high
school footbfdl and other ath-
letic contests, have thus far
keen unsuccessful. A portion of
fike 30 acre tract located ^ one
block south of Trobese 'Park
and known as the Mitchel prop-
erty is considered the most de-
sirable but a $1,000 cash offer
for five aeres of this property
f, has refused to tempt the own-
er Mr. W. H. Graham. The
i, property is for sale but Mr.
Ddyiym refuses to offer it in
' tracts. Hope is main-
however, that the deal
through and that Cuero
provided with a modern
vjSHiletie field for vears to come.
■ ♦ * ♦
The property under cousid-
k elation is very desirable. Lo-
r.^eated just seven blocks from
the majn business section it
;; would front 406 feet on Mitchel
y street and extend back 405 feet
r? iotb the present Mitchel prop-
|, *erty. The soil is very similar to
- Mtat in Frobese Park but the
f sloping nature of the proiiertc
*;*. in. three directions from the
Ljtitehel street entrance would
make it much mdre easily drain-
and provide a natural turtle
pTi^aek effect for a baseball field.

L the other half outside. In event
^ it ean be secured the remain-
. ing fence from Frobese Park

school classes, every department
having its capacity attendance.
With an initial enrollment of 280
in the high school alone and full
quotas of students entered in all
lewer grades, previous attendance
records in the Cuero Public Schools
were excelled during ]ihe fin*
week cf school this year with indi-
cations of a larger enrollment as
the session proceeds.
The unexpected increase in sev-
eral of the high school claSMs
caused considerable inconvenience
for the heads of the departments
until adjustments in the schedule
could, be made to accommodate all»
of thp students. These changes;
have been made satisfactorily, Su-
perintendent Melton declared Fri-
day. and the students wfiL be able
to settle down to regular class rtrtl-
tine with the beginning of* the com-
ing week.
A check of past records showing
high school enrollment over a pe-
riod of four years indicates the
steady increase that ' has taken
place in the number of scholastics
enrolled in the higher grades, an
increase that made necessary the
expansion of the old school plant
to accommodate the growing num-
ber of students. In 1925 the high
school enrollment totalled 148; in
1926, 170; in 1927, 164; and in 1928, j
201. The present enrollment ex- j
cccds last year’s by 29.

Little Damage Done
By Blaze Today
Little damage was done by a blaze j *■ If J
at the Palace theatre shortly be-
fore 3 o’clock this afternoon when
a roll of film became ignited. The Defense
blaze was quickly extinguished, and
the show continued, much to the
delight of two Cuero youths who
had slipped away from school to see j
the show, only to be faced with the j
realization that their afternoon’s i
pleasure might be spoiled. Its bad
to cut school, but to cut school to
see a show and then have the film
burn up is “worse” they declared.
Friday 1 3th Fails to
Bring Any Unusual
Events in This City
SOUTH TEXAS DISTRICT
MEDICAL ASS.’N MEETING
Firday the 13th proved un-
eventful as far as Cuero was
concerned and nothing which
might have been blamed on
this so-called “unlucky" date
had been reported. It had been
predicted that Friday the 13th
would prove an eventful day in
the Texas league baseball race,
and fans were eagerly awaiting
the results of the day’s games.
The only eventful happening
that rrtfght take place could
be a vietory by the Shreveport
Sports coupled with a loss by
Wichita Falls. The two teams
are nowr only 2 and one half
games apart. But still, that has
little to do with Friday 13th.
so we stick to our opinion that
the day was most uneventful in
Cuero.
