THE LADY BELLE RESTAURANT HAD its official ribbon cutting
ceremony last week sponsored by the Ingleside Chamber of Com-
merce and the By-the-Bay Citizen's Association (BBCA). Wielding
the scissors was chamber President Pierre Rabalais. He had help
from Rona Cartwright, Elsie Cartwright, Otis Cartwright, (owner of
the resturant), Ingleside on the Bay Mayor Al Robbins and BBCA
President Guy Hargrove.
Chamber growth reflects positive outlook
Ingleside Chamber of Com-
merce is growing and growing
Enthusiasm is sweeping the
membership committee, chair-
man Leroy Cornelius and Dr.
C.H. Lewis, as it approaches its
membership goal.
Cornelius said the goal was set
at 125 members by July 31. With
three months, plus, left before
that date, 22*members are
needed to reach the goal.
Why are businesses and indi-
viduals joining the chamber in
such numbers, 29 already this
year?.
Cornelius says there are sever-
al reasons “They want to get on
the band wagon” of the growth of
Ingleside and Naval Station Ing-
leside. Phone calls to the cham-
ber office are increasing and the
chamber is one of the first places
people go to when they come to
town. “We refer them to mem-
bers,” says Cornelius for the ser-
vices they need.
Some of the new members have
been in the community a long
time. Some have been members
in the past. Another reason mem-
bership is increasing is that “they
realize the chamber is getting
more agressive,” promoting Ing-
leside more. “We’re trying to help
the merchants and the people."
Ingleside is also getting a lot of
television exposure now.
And, says Cornelius, another
reason long time members of the
community are joining now is
that there is personal contact. He
goes to their places of business
and visits one-on-one with them.
Credit for increasing mem-
bership also goes to the board of
directors and the office staff. Cor-
nelius says the goal was for every
board member to bring in one
new member. As of last week the
board is 100% in its goal.
The office staff, namely Sally
Canfield, is “agressive, cheerful,
enthusiastic” and a hard worker
says Cornelius.
Those who have joined the
chamber since the beginning of
the year include
TJ’s Machine Shop, Ana-Tech,
Ingleside AutoSales, Remy’sGar-
age, Bill’s Auto, Stephen's Hair
Co., Bangkok Gardens, New

Florida manufacturer
eyes Ingleside plant
Have A Lot of Fun!
When the San Patricio County
Economic Development Cor-
poration held its organizational
meeting Thursday night, it re-
ceived its first proposal for a new
business.
Bill Rogers made a presenta-
tion for a new manufacturing
facility that hopes to locate in the
Aransas Pass/Ingleside area. The
presentation was in behalf of
Charles Bielow and Dur-O-Lite
Manufacturing.
According to Rogers, Dur-O-
Lite is a ceramic coating, “much
■ more durable than traditional
paint.” He said it is used as the
groting between the tiles on space
ships and has hundreds of other
uses, from painting houses, to
boat hulls, to the inside of tanks
that hold corrosive materials
The life span of the coating is
three to four times that of ordin-
ary paint, according to Rogers
At this time manufacturing is
^nostly in Florida on a small
volume. According to Rogers,
Bielow wants to relocate to the
Aransas Pass/lngleside area for
three reasons, the large number
of industries in the area that can
use the product, the access to the
Corpus Christi port for overseas
marketing, and the primary
source for the raw material, diato-
maceous earth, for the coating
comes from Mexico.
Rogers has made a presenta-
tion to the county commissioners
cdurt asking the county to spon-
sor a Texas Capital Fund Loan
application in the amount of
#500,000. Purpose of these loans
is to develop jobs and Rogers said
about 35 persons would be em-
ployed. Rogers, an Austin consul-
tant, has worked on a number of
grant applications for the cities of
Aransas Pass and Ingleside.
The court asked Rogers to pre-
sent the information to the eco-
nomic development corporation
for its recommendation.
Once the application for the
loan is submitted, Rogers said it
would be processed within 61
days.
