The Shiner Comets defeated
the Yoakum All-Stars by a
score of 47 to 37 in the Shiner
High School gym Wednesday
night, Jan. 24. The game was
very interesting, with the Shi-
ner boys giving an outstanding
performance. Edward Kaiser

game. The Shiner Comets now
have a record of 3 victories in
five starts and are improving
with every game.
The Shiner Comets are com-
prised of the following players:
Ben Marcak, Percy Garbade,

deker, Edward Kaiser, Calvin

New Social Security
Credits Wage Record
For Military Service
One provision of the 1950
amendments of the Social Se-
curity Act provides the men
and women who served in the
armed forces during World
War II with wage credits of
$160 per month for each month
of military or naval service be-
tween September 16, 1940, and
July 24, 1947.
Gordon James, manager of
the San Antonio social security
office, said this change may
qualify many widows and chil-
dren of those who were killed
in action or who may have died
since the war. Benefits may be
payable retroactive to the
month of September 1950. Al-
though a widow may have
remarried, the children, or de-
pendent parents may qualify
for benefits.
The San Antonio field office
would like to contact all per-
sons who believe they are en-
titled to monthly benefits as
survivors of World War II vet-
erans. The office is contacting
such survivors who may have
been previously informed that
no benefits could be paid, be-
cause it may now be possible
for them to qualify with the
added credits for World War II
service.
James warned that no social
security payments can be made
until an application has been
filed. Survivors of deceased
servicemen or servicewomen of
World War II should contact
the social security office at 219
Post Office Building, in San
Antonio.
Brownsville Water
\
Situation Getting
Serious Reported
Brownsville, Texas, Jan. 23.
—Brownsville and Matamoros,
on opposite sides of the mud
flat that normally is the Rio
Grande, depended upon the co-
operation of upstream water
pumpers today for their meag-
er water supply.
Both cities placed strict lim-
itations on the use of water,
and the prorate committee of
the valley water conservation
association called another 84-
hour pumping shutdown in
Hidalgo, beginning at 6:30 a.m.
Thursday.
Find Tiny Crest—
Cameron county pumpers al-
so agreed to curtail their intake
to let the bulk of the flow
reach Brownsville and Mata-
moros.
Yesterday, both cities pump-
ed from a tiny crest that devel-
oped during an 84-hour shut-
down over the weekend in Hi-
dalgo county. However, the
crest dropped quickly as the
upper districts resumed their
pumping.
At Matamoros, mains were
in use only seven hours daily,
and water has more storage
space than the Mexican border
city.
Plan To Sue District—
Meanwhile, attorneys for
Cameron county water control
and improvement district No.
5 went ahead with plans to sue
an upper district for being slow
in observing last week’s shut-
down.

On the range ... for the family milk

substitute in rations that will take the place
of plenty of quality protein.
COTTONSEED MEAL, PELLETS or CAKE are
rich in good quality protein. That’s why
“CAKING" on the range and MEAL on the

BY MAJOR GENERAL ROY H. PARKER
Chief of Chaplains, United States Army
\ Imighty God, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, we commend
ft to Thy special care and keeping those serving in our Army.
Though they be in the midst of dangers, do Thou send Thy guardian
angels for their protection. Walk beside them as they go through the
valley of the shadow of death.
Knowing that all good things come from Thee, grant them courage and
loyalty, through a firm faith in freedom’s cause, in the present
conflict. When sacrifices are called for, let them be made in the
knowledge that Thou art the rewarder of Thy servants. Enable them
to live valiantly and serve nobly, in the full realization that no man
liveth unto himself. Grant them clear minds, strong bodies, resolute
wills, and pure hearts free from hatred and bitterness, renewing them
each and every day with strength, like strong men of old,
who against enthroned wrong stood with confidence and courage.
Awaken in them a lively faith that will keep them close to Thee.
Enable them to rest their cause upon Thy Word that though the foe
be strong, yet knowing the cause as they battle for the
right, they can never fail. Fill their hearts with the assurance
that with Thee nothing is impossible and that all things work together
for good to them that love Thee.
If it be Thy will that injuries be sustained, let them exper-
ience the touchy of Thy healing hand and do Thou bless the means
and the ministries employed for the restoration of their health.
In these difficult times, when the forces of evil are running
rampant and many hopes seem about to be crushed, fill their
hearts with an abiding sense of Thy reality and the certainty of
Thy continual presence. Enable them to look to Thee when loneliness
and longing overtake them; fulfill their yearnings by granting
them Thine own companionship and fellowship. Enable them to
realize the full meaning of Thy promise, “Lo, I am with you always.”
Thou who are the Protector and Helper as well as the Giver of
victory, grant unto them every good gift of body and soul and unite
us with them in faith and love unceasing. Amen.
