to them and later to Fflix Tumbough, Jr., principal, was Bill McCormack. Mrs.
Florence Brooks who was in charge of the flag presentations told the students
at O. T. Blaschke and those at Ingleside Elementary School of McCormack’s service
record, telling them that he is the most decorated Marine in America. A total of
13 flags was presented for use in the classrooms at O T Blaschke School ______

children each in foster homes.
The problem was that the 14
children were all Mexican
American and they had to be
put in Anglo foster homes. In
addition to scattering the
children around, breaking up
their ties, Mrs. Shaw said she
was forced to place the
pre-school children who spoke
no English in homes where no
Spanish is spoken.
This creates a problem, both
for fhe child who can not make
himself understood and for the
foster parent who is expected to
care for, provide love and
attention and discipline to a
child with whom he can not
communicate verbally.
AUSTIN- - Starting in
February, it will be ’’something
old, something new” for most
Texas license plates.
The something old will be the
five-year license plate issued in
1975 already mounted on the
vehicle. The plates were
disigned to last for at least five
years, being made with more
durable materials than the
one-year plates issued in earlier
years.
The something new will be a

open on Monday.
occupied and there will be no
discipline problems, the educa-
tor stated, in answer to a
question from a Rotarian about
discpline problems at the South
Texas school.
The South Texas Independent
School District is composed of
three counties including Cam-
eron, Willacy and Hidalgo and
many of the students are
“socially handicapped ”, that is
they were unable to get along in
regular classrooms, some are
considered mentally retarded,
Dr Magnifico said, but
the opportunity to learn
they like to do, then
combat their problems.
The school district in South
Texas is recommended to the
problem student and he can not
be forced to attend, and Dr.
Magnifico said only those
students who want to attend are
accepted.
There is only one way a
student can get a diploma from
the school and that is to get on
the job training, to obtain a job
and earn money and to stay on
that job without getting fired for
six months, only then will a
diploma be awarded The
school operates 12 months a
year.
Asked about the cost of such a
program per student, Dr.
Magnifico said it amounted to
over $3,000 annually but that
this is less than the cost of
confining a youngster to
Gatesville or Gainsville correc-
tional school
Every bit of work on the
campus is done by the students,
Dr Magnifico told the Rotar-
ians in explaining the program,
the campus even has its own
service station. “You would be
surprised to see what a student
can do if you have a program
for him’’.
With the deadline for filing
still almost a month away, five
men have filed for four places
on the Ingleside Independent
School District board of
trustees
Gilbert Mirkovich, superin
tendent of schools, said early
this week that the three
incumbents had filed for their
places and two men are seeking

SMOKE ON THE HORIZON was not an uncommon sight in Ingleside this past
weekend and again Tuesday. Ingleside Fire Department began the month of
February by answering three fire calls. The first was to a small house fire on
Avenue G, the second to a grass fire on Danforth Lane and the third was to a
grass fire on 12th Street Tuesday the Ingleside Fire Department was called to a
large brush fire on Saunders and Mooney Lane about 1 p.m. Ingleside, Aransas
Pass, Rockport, Fulton and Gregory fire units fought the blaze until about 3 p.m.
The fire rapidly consumed brush dried by recent freezes and lack of rain and fire-
men worried about brush across Mooney Lane catching fire from southerly breezes
which could have spread the fire even more. There were
aged by fire, but one outlying building was destroyed
worried about butane tanks near homes.
Mrs. Shaw said anyone who
would like to be a foster parent
can contact her at her office on
Commercial Street or call
758 5359 and she will be glad to
talk to them about it.
Foster parents are not
allowed to keep more than six
children in their home, and this
number includes their
children.

“Status value rather than
work value” is what schools are
' teaching youngsters these days
and Dr. L.X. Magnifico,
superintendent of the South
Texas Independent School Dis-
trict disagrees strongly with
this placement of values
Speaking to the Ingleside
Rotary Club at its weekly
luncheon Monday, Dr Magni-
fico told Rotarians of the school
system
reasons
“turned
general.
Dr Magnifico said there have
been 48 mental abilities
identified but schools are
operating on developing only
one of these, the academic.
Every talent an individual has
should be developed, Magnifico
said
In his school district, in which
“socially handicapped” stu-
dents can attend to learn to
work, Dr. Magnifico said a
student is allowed to work on
what he likes to do, if he likes to
work at his music he can work
on it as long as he wants each
day.
Dr Magnifico said it is
amazing that students, some of
whom are considered mentally
retarded, respond so well that
once they have found something
they really like, such as music
or gardening, will stay with it
and learn it well and then are so
encouraged that they learn
something else and then before
long they are doing three and
four things well
This is the type of encourage-
ment that students in all schools
should receive Dr. Magnifico
said. Let a student do what he
likes to do and keep him

Scout Building
Through the generosity of
number of individuals, Ingle-
side Boy Scout and Girl Scouts
will have a new Scout building.
It started when Sun Oil
Company was dismantling a
refinery and the decision was
made that Scoutmasters could
have the buildings for use in
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
Don Hawkins, Ingleside Scout
master, heard about it and was
given permission to take one of
the buildings. Al Hildreth, who
works for Jackson Marine
Corporation in Aransas Pass
but lives in Ingleside and is
involved in Scouting, took over
the responsibility of moving the
building to Ingleside from
Corpus Christi.
Ingleside V. F W Post, which
sponsors Girl and Boy Scouts,
took the responsiblity for
providing a site for the location
of the building and the Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts them-
selves have taken the responsil-
ity for raising funds

Mrs. Florence Brooks
that persons who wish to make
donations for the septic tank
fund can contact Hawkins, any
Scout leader, the V.F.W. or her.
“This is a project which will
benefit a great number of
children, and so many people
have already been so generous
with their time and efforts and
we are very happy to get this
building which we needed so
badly,” said Mrs. Brooks,
adding that any help received
by the public would be greatly
appreciated.

INGLESIDE ROTARIANS Monday heard Dr. L. X. Magnifico, superintendent of
the South Texas Independent School District, talk about the part education can
play in the prevention of juvenile delinquency. Dr. Magnifico heads a school dis-
trict which has an "alternative high school” where students can elect to go and
learn to work, rather than continue in a regular classroom atmosphere where
they present problems and are disruptive. Dr. Magnifico stressed that it is a
shame that a youngster has to be declared a juvenile delinquent before he can
receive the education he needed to prevent his problems. With Dr. Magnifico (O
are Dick Hatch (D, San Patricio County attorney, and Bill Muir, president of
the Ingleside Rotary Club.
