K. WILLIAMS RETURNS
TO COTULLA
Students and patrons alike of the
Cotulla High School will be glad to
learn that W. E. “Bill" Wiliams has
returned to Cotulla and resumed his
duties as Vocational Agriculture
Teacher in the local system. He haj
been in Kingsville during the past
eight months, assisting in a super-
visory capacity’ and also has taught
regular classes in A. & I. College.
James L. Donaldson, who has tem-
porarily supplied the vacancy caused
by the absence of Mr. Williams, has
accepted a position in the public
schools of La Grange. He and Mrs.
Donaldson left Wednesday for their
new post.
Except for the temporary absence
A VERY "()I)I)’ WAY' FOR MOTHER nt’s<*a.v afternoon. Rob Kinsel was
TO MEET SON j returning home from Dilley the same
_ afternoon.
Mrs. Kinsel started to turn into
the Mars place from the Highway,
when she noticed a car hearing down
upon her. Both tried to avert going
together, but to no avail and they hit
each other with considerable force.
After the crash, both looked to see
their respective victims. Contrary
to most wrecks, a very simple and
surprised conversation followed. We
imagine it went something like this:
"Hello, mother, are you hurt”? “No,
son, are you?”
Neither was hurt, we are glad to
say; but both cars received consider-
able damage. •
Y es, we nominate this for the most
“odd” family “get-together” we have
noted in some time.
We think it’s a fine thing for
mother to go out of her way to meet
son, or for a son to go the extreme*
in meeting mother, hut we believe a
family “meeting” in Cotulla this
week was most unusual.
Mrs. Dan Y\. Kinsel was driving
to the fire at Bert Mars’ place Wed-
of the past few months. Mr. Williams
has been associated with the Cotulla
Schools for the past ten years.
At Kingsville, he was known as
Professor Williams, the Agriculture
instructor. Here, he will still be
just “Bill. ’ The Record extends a
warm welcome to both Mr. and Mrs.
Williams upon their return.
MEN OVER 28 TO BE FREED
FROM SERVICE UNDER DRAFT
Washington, July 1—Brog. Gen.
Lewis B. Hershey, deputy selective
| service director, Tuesday formally or-
dered deferment of all men now
subject to induction into the arm.*
who have reached the age of 28.
General Hershey telegraphed the
order of State selective service di-
rectors. telling them to advise local
draft hoards immediately and saying
he acted at the request of congress-
ional leaders.
An estimated 8,000,000 between the
ages of 28 and 36 are affected. They
are part of the group of 16.500.000 be-
tween the ages of 21 and 36 who
were signed up last Oct. 16.
Hershey’s action came as the 6,500
local hoards over the country were
completing registration of an estimat-
ed 750,000 youths who have reached
the age of 21 since the initial regis-
| tration last October.
