his style. A mystic by nature,
Angelico found angles as real as
his fellow human beings. For a
while Angelico lived at Assisi.
Here he studied the works of
Giotto, another important artist
tof the fifteenth century. The Na-
tivity was painted about 1436.

who lived at the monastery of
San Marco near Florence. When
he was trained in the art of il-
luminating choir bboks and mis-

illustrated by hand.. Later his
training was reflected in the pre-

pictorial quality, the ornamental

Carl Duncan
Files For
Com. Pct. 2
Politics in San Patricio County
got off to an early start this
year as Carl Duncan, co-owner
of Delta Plumbing Company in
Portland, filed last Thursday for
the office of commissioner of
Precinct 2.
Portland, formerly in precinct
No. 4, was placed in Precinct
No. 2 by the commissioners
court in the reshuffle of precincts
this year. Other communities in-
clude Odem, Edroy and Gre-
gory. The present commissioner
is Charlie Spiekerman of Od-
em.
This is Mr- Duncan's first ven-
ture into politics, however, he
has been active in the political
life of Portland for a number of
years, having served on a num-
ber of city committees and al-
so as an election judge on a
number of occasions.

berry reduced his expenditures
to $4,074 and evidently felt that
he could get by the rest of the
year with the $8,088 that is still
credited to his bank account.
Precinct No. 8 is overspent in
the total amount of $6,518. Com-
missioner Percy Hartman has
an annual budget calling for an
expenditure of $125,750, of which
he has spent $111,309 leaving him
in reasonable good shape with
$14,860 in the bank to live on
the rest of the year.
San Patricio County is operat-
ing on a budget set at $1,452,395.
Up through October 31 a total
of $1,267,917 had -been spent leav-
ing. a bank balance of $90,790 to
run the county for the next two
months. The monthly budget is
set at $121,032.
A small amount of revenue due
in this current year will be re-
ceived before the end of the year
to give a small assist to paying
bills.
Supposedly the funds “bor-
rowed” by the two precincts will
be deducted from their budgets
next year since the money is be-
ing taken from current tax col-
lections that are set up to pay
for next year’s budget. The prac-
tice of taking tax money that
is actually earmarked for next
year’s budget is legal, but frown-
ed upon in financial circles.
The Rug Club met November
6 at the Library with Vera Jack-
sos and Altha Callaway as host-
essess. Refreshments were serv-
ed to 15 members.
Banquet Is Thurs.
The Democratic Women of
San Patricio County will have a
banquet at Lands in Sinton at
7:30 p.m. Thursday. Sen. Wm.
Patman will be the speaker.
After the auditions there will
be a practice session at 7 p.m.
on December 2 in the gymna-
sium.
Costumes and props will not
be furnished by the drama club
although the club will assist in
locating costumes and props if
entrants will give adequate no-
tice to the Maroon Masque Club
members.
Last year’s winners will not
be able to compete for the tro-
phies that will be donated by the
Rotary Club., Sandra Crenshaw
president of the Drama Club,
stated that there will be no

HOMECOMING—

Friske on a 31 yard pass two
plays earlier. The score stood 18
1g U as Mathis aga'n failed on
a try for the extra points.
But the Pirates were not to
stay ahead long as Woodsboro
completed a 65 yard pass on a
third down and 17 yards to go Frank were visited Sunday by
situation at their own 19 yard
line as the Pirates seemed de-
termined to give away the game
on thirddowns. Three plays la-
ter the quarterback sneaked into
the endzone for the go-ahead T.
D. with only 6 minutes gone in
the third quarter.
On the next two drives, which
carried into the fourth quarter,
the Pirates moved the ball well,
racking up nearly 70 yards rush-
ing, only to see ther rally cut
short by two interceptions, both
by Ship on the 30 yard line of the
Eagles.
The Eagles then got a drive
underway that appeared to be
the game clincher as they drove
the ball to the Mathis 32 yard
line before they faced a fourth
down and 4 yard:- to go situation.
5«o: the second lime rhe Pirates
defense rose to the occasion as
they swarmed Avery under for
a 3 yard losss on a quick pitch.
Mathis took over on their own
35 yard line with 3 minutes and
10 seconds left in the game.
Eleven seconds later the Pirates
had gone ahead 24 to 18 as Frei-
tag burst through the Eagle line
and picked up a key blocks by
Willie Zamudio to clear the way
for a 65 yard T.D. run. Mathis
tacked on the extra points this
time as Porter hit Friske in the
end zone to pad the Mathis lead
to 24 to 18 with 2 minutes and
59 seconds left.
Woodsboro received the kick-
off and completed a pass to the
24 yard line on the first play
from the Eagle 20 yard line.
Then the Eagles saw a series
of hard rushes by the Pirate line
a id three passes fell incomplete.
The Pirates took over on the
Eagles 24 yard line and moved
+he ball to the Eagle one yard
line before a 5 yd offside pen-
alty and a fumble saw 20 se-
conds left in the game with the
Pirates on the 9 yard line. Frei-
tag carried for 4 yards to the 5
as the final gun sounded. No one
left the park this homecoming
night before the final gun had
sounded.
