few days in a typical small
American city.
VOLUNTEER TAKES
DAREDEVIL'S PLACE
Port Lavaca— The crowd was
growing somewhat restless at the
Htr>ck car racing arena here last
week. A "daredevil" stunt man
was delaying his drive through
a flaming wall while an assis-
tant tried to take up a collection
from the audience. A local man
was impatient to take his family
home, so he just 'neuJed his car
for the arena, dashed through the
wall of fire an drove on out of
the park. The crowd cheered tho
local hero, and the "daredevil
refused to go through with his
act.
SHRIMP DINNER PLEASES
FISH A SNAKE EXPERTS
Rockport—• A group of the na-
tion's most distinguished iethyolo-
gists and herpetologists came here
to study at first hand the marine
life of the,Texas Gulf coaat. Staff

boratory here assisted the eminent
scientists to get better acquainted
with the shrimps found so abund-
antly hereabouts. They served
them a delicious shrimp dinner.
COLf T.E BOYS CAUGHT
WITH CAR PULL OF ROSES

Murry College came here last
week looking for some roses to
use for decorations at a college
banquet. The mistake they made

flowers growing on a landscaped
plot maintained by the Highway
Dept here. Officers suspicious of
the boys' actions, investigated
their car, found it full of the
rosea, und put them in juil fur
the night. Next morning th~y
paid fines of $10 each.

SMOKE AND SING HYMNS
Houston— A group of workm n
at a local industrial plant be^an
leathering during the noon hour,
for a short period of Bible study
and singing hymns. Since they

been adopted at three ether in-
dustrial plants here, and is popu-
lar with the men.
