having been pasteurized, was
believed to have caused the ra-
pid spread of polio among six
members of the Paul Pehl fam-
ily living near here. This was
the decision of Dr. George Cox,

his best assistants here to in-

The West End Parent Teach-

regular meeting of the year in
the school auditorium Friday
night, at 8 o’clock, with a good

A.” She stated, "only by work-
ing together hard can a rating
like the P.T.A. received last
year, under the leadership of
Mrs. Ben Rogers, be obtained.”
i’he West End P.T.A. received
the highest rating in the state
that any P.T.A. can receive.

A rather heavy infestation of
Pink Bollworms has been found
in cotton gin trash in Austin
county according to personnel of
the Pirk Bollworm Control Pro-
ject. The infestation is much
heavier than in the 1951 cotton
crop and indicates a general and
alarming increase of the insect
in the county. The late stalk
destruction program m South
Texas Area last year became a
major consideration in this
year’s heavy infestation. It is a
matter of record that when the
cotton stales are destroyed ear-
ly, the insect infestation the
next year has been comparative-
ly light. Early season stalk des-
truction is one of the most ef-
fective of known control met-
hods against the boll weevils and
the pink bollworms. Many farm-
ers in the county have been .us-
ing the shredder or rotary type
cutters and they are really sold
on the job that they do. The

the stalks into small pieces, also

Curiosity—people have it. The
people of this vicinity have been
aware that some type of a Navy
unit existed at the City park,
but that is about as far as the
knowledge of the general public
w’ent. Now that thei'e is a full-
time gtationkeepr on duty, more
activity will result.
Organized Electronics Com-
pany 8-22 also known as Naval
Reserve Electronics Facility,
with headquarters located in the
Commercial Building of the City
Park, gets under way with
Radioman Cherry at the helm.
This Naval Reserve Electro-
nics Facility is one of 60 units
throughout Arkansas, Louisia-
na, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and
Texas. These units are estab-
lished and maintained to train
young men between the ages of
17 and 18*^ who wish to choose
the Navy as the branch of ser-
vice in which they wish to par-
ticipate while living at home.
These men are trained in basic
seamanship and petty officer
ratings. It also enables navy
veterans and other naval reserv-
visited *ats to keep up their present |

rates and to earn retirement
points.
What are some of the advan-
tages of Ahis unit?
1. A young man may choose
his branch of service while he
is in high school and still living
at home.
| 2. He may make advance-
! ments of rate so that if he is
called to active duty he will
have knowledge of the job he
has to do, and he will also be
several notches higher on the
pay scale.
An estimated attendance of
about 1700 people thoroughly
enjoyed the second annual bar-
becue given Sunday in New Ulm
by the Vohinteer Fire Depart-
ment.
People came to New Ulm from
all sections of the state to par-
ticipate in the event which was
a genuine home-coming for
many.
Approximately 2050 pounds
of barbecued beef, pork, and
mutton was disposed of in short
order—about 1100 people eating
their meals on the grounds while
the rest of the meat was sold off
the pit. According to the com-
ments received from many of
the visitors the barbecue was
exceptionally delicious and ten-
der being one of the best relish-
ed by them during the season.
There never was an idle mo-
ment for anyone on the huge
school campus, the site of the
celebration. Two musical organ-
izations kept the crowd in a hap-
py frame of mind. The music
was supplied by “Bob and His
Orcestra,” and “Gene and the
Village Boys” provided the
string music. Refreshments
stands and concessions did a
flourishing business.

Austin county was a big step
closer to a unified program for
fund drive collections following
a meeting of representatives
from various sections of the
county.
The group met in the county
courtroom in a meeting called
by Bellville Chamber of Com-
merce President W. I. Hill. Mrs.
Mildred Byrne of Sealy was
chosen temporary chairman of
that meeting and a board of di-
rectors was selected on the spot.
Mr. Hill was called on by
Mrs. Byrne to explain the mat-
ter and following his explana-
tion, and group discussion, di-
rectors were chosen. It was ue-
cided that one director will be
chosen from each voting pre-
cinct in the county.
The Rev. Josef A. Barton of
Nelsonville was elected chair-
man of the board of directorsdent of the school board intro-
and C. J. Marik of Industry,
secretary. C. L. Ackley of Sealy Marvin
was tamed vice-chairman. A. L.
Brooks Jr., Bellville, by-laws
chairman.
The organization will proba-
bly be known as Austin Coun-
ty Benefits Inc., Mr. Barton
said, pending a meeting of the
directors Sept. 22 at tne San
Bernard Electric Coop, board
room in Bellville.
At the meeting then, final
organization was planned, and
tentative plans made for the
first organized, county-wide
drive.
Members of the organization
and interested parties empha-
sized throughout that this will
be an organization strictly local
in nature, affecting only Austin
county, and completely free
from any outside influence or
control by any rational organ-
ization. ,
Also, only organizations of a
national nature will be con-
sidered in the fund raising drive
and drives of a local nature will
definitely not be included. This
would include for instance,
drives to raise funds for cham-
ber of commerce budgets.
Only rational organizations
will be served by this group
which will still be completely
local in nature and will be con-
trolled by local citizens and not
by any national or other for-
eign organization. The entire
county will be represented by
anything the organization does.
Some question was raised
early this week as to whether
or not the American Red Cross
would be willing to go along
with such a program here. H. C.
Frizzell, county Red Cross
chairman, wrote a letter to na-
tional headquarters in St. Louis
Monday, requesting tne organi-
zation to cooperate with this
county drive.
The annual polio drive will
definitely not be included in
this program, it was pointed
out. Due to restrictions in the
national charter of the National
Association for Infantile Paraly-
sis, the organization |ra!nnot
participate in joint drives of this
nature.
It was pointed out that, like
the Red Cross, other organiza-
tions affected by the drive have
not been contacted for approv-
al. A united drive would be
concerned with Red Cross, Can-
cer, Heart, Easter Seals, Boy
Scouts, and perhaps others.
With the exception of the
Red Cross, the other four groups
have shown willingness to co-
operate with united drives else-
where. Local chairmen, also
seem to favor the plan.
Final organization of the
county organization and formu-
lation of plans for the initial
drive will, of course, depend on
approval from all organizations
concerned.
It h" been held by some
workers with this project that
without cooperation of the Red
Crotj, a successful fund raising
organization on a county-wide
one-drive basis would be diffi-
cult, if not impossible. What
the situation with that organi-
zation will be, will not be known
until Mr. Frizzell has a reply to port.
