Abilene, Texas, Tuesday Evening, April 27, 1954
5-A
.. Possibility of year-around opera,
tion of Abilene schools will be stud,
ied by Supt. A. E. Wells.
The School Board Monday night
authorised him to make the study
Purpose of such an arrangement
would be to relieve crowded con-
ditions.
The three-month vacations would
merely be staggered throughout
the year.
Another suggestion was that half-
hour lunch sessions be held at the
junior high schools
Wells told the board this could
mean that capacity of the two jun-
ior high schools might be increased
by 150 students each.
Trustees rehired all but two of
170 teachers whose terms expire
June 1. Not re-employed were
Emma Ione Darnell, 21, music
teachar at Woodson High School;
and Huberta Nicholson, 27, science
and physical education teacher at
Woodson High
Supt. Walls declined to recom-
mend to the board that they be
rehired
All but one of the teachers hav-
ing just completed throe years in
the Abilene schools were given
continuing contracts. Wells asked
that Bobbio Duncan, 28, English
teacher in the high school, be given
a one-year contract, until he has
conferred with her.
It was announced that three
veteran teachers would retire: Myr
tie Trantham, Abilene High
School: Mrs. Marjorie Fry, North
Junior High; and Zelma Key, Cen-
tral Elementary School.
Resignations of seven of the re
School Board Rehires 168;

Following are the 168 faculty
members re - employed Monday
night by the Abilene School Board.

in the system except two had pre-
viously been given continuing con-
tracts. They do not require annual

mended for rehiring.

Search for Border
Patrolman Still On
CARRIZO SPRINGS A wide-
spread search for two border pa-
trolmen missing along the Rio
Grande continued today under the
direction of Sheriff Arthur Knaggs.

about 40, and Milton O'Meara,
about 55, have been missing since

Fraud Cases

dictments are returnable.

the cases to U. S. Court in Abi-
lene. Scarborough said Monday

when Judge Dooley convenes court
in Lubbock next Monday.
Bradbury said be is considering
offering a similar motion for his
clients but that be had not defi-
nitely determined that he will.
Besides the 22 Abilenians, U
other persons from other places
are also charged. The indictments
against them allege that they made

San Antonio Can’t
De-Annex Big Area
SAN ANTONIO un—San Antonio,
which doubled its size by annexa-
tion, today found itself unable to
de-annex the area taken in.
The problem arose yesterday
when Dist. Judge Walter Lough-
ridge ruled that a de-annexation
Aug. 11, 1953, was void.
It all started about a year and
a half ago when the city annexed
79.74 square miles to go with its
then 80.23 square miles.
Then the city council, which had
been elected partly on a de-annexa-
tion platform, voided the annexa-
tion of 74.86 square miles.
Yesterday, Judge Loughridge
ruled that a city cannot de-annex
improved territory. Both sides
have said they will fight to the
supreme court if necessary.
A special council meeting has
been called to consider the coun-
cil’s position.
er treatment of minor injuries.
Jack Simmons, 44, of 889 Elm-
wood Dr., escaped injury.
Simmons was driver of a car
which had stopped at the scene of
construction work to let a road
grader cross.
While he was standing still, the
car driven by Arthur Johnson
crashed into the rear of the Sim-
mons car, according to Highway
Patrolman John Hegar.

Just a little difference in ingredients
makes a big difference in cooking results
Snowdrift is just a little lighter than any other shortening
—and that can make the big difference in giving your
family lighter, more digestible foods.
Snowdrift is pre-whipped just
a little longer than ordinary
shortenings. That can make the
big difference in easier blending
for cakes, pie crust, biscuits
and everything you bake.
Snowdrift's ingredients are just
a little costlier than any other
solid shortening (yet you pay
no more). And that can make
the big difference in better
tasting foods.
No other shortening at any price is
so creamy, so digestible - and so light!
