The Troop finished up March and
began April by holding the Leader-
ship Training Course combined with
a 5-month planning session and an
overnight campout on the Chaparral
Wildlife Area. Members of both the
Falcon Patrol and the Badger Patrol
attended the leadership course
presented by the Troop’s Scout-
master Lloyd Stephenson, Troop
Committee Chairman Bill Brummel,
and the Advancement Committee-
man Beverly Brummel. Matthew
Santos, Charlie Diaz, Erasmo De-
Leon, and Robert Adams passed the
leadership course and were pre-
sented with a special TRAINED
patch to wear on the left sleeve of
their Scout shirts for all to see that
these Scouts have been trained in
the skills of leadership.
Our Scouts have planned a very
exciting series of programs and
campouts for the next 5 months.
For instance, our Troop will conduct
a bake sale next Saturday with the
proceeds going into their summer
camp fund. April’s Troop meetings
will be spent in getting ready for
the Four Rivers District's Camp-O-
Ree to be held in Pleasanton's City
Park over the weekend of April 28-
30. Our Troop will be competing
with 14 other Troops in 12 Scout
Skills events including a supper
cooking contest. The supper menu
our Scouts have planned to cook for
judging includes Dutch oven stew,
tossed salad, reflector oven Johnny
cakes, orange flavored sun tea, and
baked cinnamon apples for dessert.
Our Troop will have a lot of fun
competing in the contests and we’ll
also eat good!
evening was Sheriff Darwin Avant.
The aspects of the contest in-
cluded a taped television com-
mercial that advertised the fair
and cook-off, a speech answer-
ing a question about La Salle
County, wild hogs, or hunting and
an individual interview with the
emcee. The contestants were
judged on the following criteria:
appearance, poise, personality
and speaking ability. The judges
were Vicki Gates, Sherri Mize
and Patti Goad of Pearsall.
Boy Scouts of Cotulla’s Troop
150 had a very busy last of March
and first of April. On March 29th
our Troop held a Court of Honor.
Those receiving honors included
Matthew Santos for having earned
the Hiking Skill Award and ad-
vancing to the rank of Second
Class, Erasmo De Leon for earning
Citizenship, Family Living, and
First Aid Skill Awards and for
advancing to the rank of Tenderfoot,
and Robert Adams for earning the
Citizenship Skill Award.
At a special candle-lighting
ceremony following the Court of
Honor, Robert Adams, our newest
Scout, was invested into the Troop
and into the World-wide Brother-
hood of Scouting. We are expecting
Robert’s enthusiasm to carry him
a long way into the wonderful world

ACS Chairman
Says Throw
Out Envelopes
The American Cancer Society
requests that all Cotulla/La Salle
County businesses check their
supply of memorial envelopes for
the correct address.
Judith Manly, La Salle county’s
ACS memorials chairman, nas
been receiving some memorial
donations which have incorrectly
had to be routed from the Uvalde
(District 27) office.
"These are old envelopes with
the Uvalde address,” she said,
"and using them slows down cards
being sent to the family of the
person for whom the memorial
is made, as well as your own
receipt being delayed.”
It is especially important at
this time of year that addressing be
correct, she added, because the
annual Cancer Crusade will start
soon and inaccurate addressing
makes the paperwork just that
much more confusing for every-
one involved.
All ACS contributions, re-
gardless of "designation,” should
be sent to Miss Manly at Box 314,
302 Tilden, Cotulla, Texas78014.
"If you have old envelopes
with a Uvalde address stamped
on them, please destroy them,
I will be glad to bring you as many
correct ones as you wish so please
call me at 879-2649.' ’
As an example of the “hassles”
these old envelopes are creating:
one recent memorial sent to
Uvalde was inadvertently credited
to the Uvalde account before
the mistake was realized. Miss
Manly had to be notified and
other memorials were sent back
to her from Uvalde for the same
reason; the family of the de-
ceased may have gotten more than
one card in at least one instance
and the doners received their
receipts over a week later than
necessary and transmission of
the memorial funds to the state
office "really got fouled-up”
in a number of ways.
Anyone who wishes to keep
these ACS envelopes on hand for
future use, whether at a business
house or on an individual basis,
is asked to contact Miss Manly
by phone or mail.
Cotulla -- “The registered mail
system is designed to provide added
protection for valuable and impor-
tant mail,” says Cotulla Postmaster
Tom Ervin.
"It is the most secure service
the Postal Service offers and in-
corporates a system of receipts
to monitor an item’s movement
from the point of mailing to the point
of delivery.”
Ervin continued, "Only mail
prepared with postage at the First-
Class rate may be registered.
Stamps or meter stamps for postage
must be attached. The face of the
registered article must be at least
five inches long and three-and-a-half
inches high regardless of thickness.
These size requirements are neces-
sary in order to prevent misplace-
ment and theft.”
Registration may be obtained at
post offices or rural letter carriers.
Do not leave an item which you wish
to register in a street letterbox or
other receptacle for First-Class mail.
Postmasters will accept mail of
unusually high value only at the post
office or larger branches and
will be a public performance critic judge, Glynnis
Counties. Elaine Farmer, Direc-
tor of Community Services, states
"We are extremely pleased that
our division was given additional
funds to expand much needed
services in this area.”
The Dilley Adult Habilitation
Center will be located on the
second floor of the Municipal
Building at 105 S. Commerce in
Dilley. Through the efforts of
Mayor Fred Florez, the City of
Dilley will provide the facility
for this program. The city is in
the process of securing an elevator
for the building in order to make it
accessible to the handicapped.
The program will provide
vocational training, sheltered
employment and community job
opportunities for eligible adults.
A number of persons have already
been referred to the program by
the independent school districts
in these counties. Persons re-

"When registering a piece of
mail by rural carriers - to meet
the carrier to condu lie trans-
action. At the time of mailing, you
mst declare the full and exact value
of the item. Postal insurance for
items of $25,000 or less in value may
be purchased at the time of
mailing,” the postmaster said.
COD service is available with
registered mail. A customer may
mail an article for which they have
not been paid and have the price
of the article and the postage cost
collected from the addressee at the
time of delivery. This is collect-on-
delivery or COD service. The maxi-
mum amount collectible is $500 and
the minimum fee is $2.00.
"Postal employees,” added Ervin,
"are not permitted to assist in the
preparation or sealing of mail to be
registered. The mail must bear the
complete names and addresses of
both the sender and addressee.
