"one oi the finest shows ever to come to Texas—I'm all for it," was Governor W. Lee O'Daniel's com-
ment when he and Mrs. O'Daniel received first tickets to the National Flower and Garden Show, Feb. 12-19
in Houston. Above, left to right, are Mrs. O'Daniel, Governor O'Daniel, and Mrs. Henry B. Trigg, recording

Governor Gets First Tickets
To JNationai Event in Houston
AUSTIN.—One of Governor W.
Lee O'Daniel's first acts after in-
auguration was officially to accept
XirsL tickets—which had been saved
for him—to the National Flower

Sam Houston Coliseum, Houston.
The presentation was made in-

Council, national officials of the
Society of American Florists, and
local executive officials of the
Flower Show, Rice Hotel, Houston.
"Thev tell me over a million dol-
lars worth of the most beautiful
flowers grown in the United States
will be assembled for the Flower
Show," Mr. O'Daniel said. "I have
no idea how many flowers thf»t is,
but I know it will be one of the

Raymond Darnell
May Prove Hardest
Puncher in Tourney
Vic Emanuel Sports writer of
the Houston Post covering the com-
ing Golden Gloves Tournament in
Houston February 8 and 9 has the
following to say about Raymond
Darnell of Markham. Raymond is
well krtown here and appeared on
one of the fight night programs
last year:
"The hardest hitting amateur in
The Houston Post's Golden Gloves
tournament Feb. 8-9 may not be a
big heavyweight or middleweight.
In fact observers like Crying Bill
Davee, who work with the am-
bitious youngsters daily, say the
deadliest puncher for his weight
will be Raymond Darnell, trim 135-
pounder, who until six months ago
called Markham, Texas, his home
Darnell's record indicates he can
hit with either hand. The Markham
product, now a x'esident of Houston,
has had but seven fights. Five of
them ended in first round knock
outs. In the other two, he decision-
ed first Donald Drake, then Arne
Jeskla. And each time Darnell had
his foe on the floor
"The way Ray hits he reminds me
of Tracy Cox when Cox was
young," says Crying Bill Davee.
Ilis right cross starts slowly, then
lands suddenly for a knock out wal-
lop. His left hook also has dyna-
mite.
Darnell scored two of his knock
outs with left hooks to the body.
But he is convinced his best blow
was a straight right hand.
Only once was Darnall on the
floor. About three months ago, he
was matched with Gus Dutto of
Addicks. Dutto's first punch, a
right, sent Darnell down for a short
count. Darnell got up and the first
blow he landed, also a straight
right, had Dutto out for the count.
Donald Drake of Alvin gave Dar-
nell the most trouble and the pair
may meet in the finals of the Gold-
en Gloves lightweight division.
Darnell, like most of the other
boys now working at Benbow's
gym, will turn professional after
this spring's Golden Gloves tourna-
ment. He has the blessing of his
parent's to pursue boxing as a pro-
fession.
Until last year basket ball, rath-
er than boxing, was Raymond's
sport. He lettered four years in
high school, at Markham, near Bay
City, and helped win two Matagor-
da county basket ball champion-
ships. He wanted to go to college
but couldn't make proper connec-
tions after graduating. Then he
went to work in the oil fields and
took up boxing.
The Golden Gloves will be Dar-
nell's first boxing tournament."
We also leam through the Post
that Calvin Ragusin^ weight 130,
of Palacios; and Hrtyden Harper,
of Markham, are /also entered in
the tournament. \

The Division Chairman of Citi-
zen's Highway Beautification, Mrs.
Ralph Conselyea of Houston, says
she knows we have a treat in store,
not only for the really beautiful
films but for the pleasure we will

Lamb has recently turned down
his third offer from Hollywood,
this time for $100,000.00. He pre-
fers the pleasure and freedom of
doing the things he enjoys in his
own way. One of the most famous
fishermen in the world, he caught
from 1910 to 1927 and threw back
into the water, 31,800 game fish
and since then has landed 21,600
more, giving him the rank of out-
standing sport-fisherman of all
time.

V. T. Harper, chairman, county

lowing letter to the rice farmers
of Matagorda County:
"The county office is doing every-
thing possible to get the necessary
papers signed and the proper acre-
age and yield records for the last
five years for each rice producer
in an effort to get our 1939 rice
allotments at the earliest possible
moment. These papers must be
signed by all producers before any-
one may receive his 1939 allotment.
"You all received a notice of the
above from the county office a rew
days ago with a request that you
attend to the matter as soon as pos-
sible. Since then I understand that
you have been advised not to sign
these papers until after a meeting
is held at Shreveport, La.
"I can assure you that the papers
you sign will in no way put you
under any obligation and will not,
under any circumstances affect any
changes that may be decided on
later in the program. In all prob-
ability, the same information will,
be necessary and the same papers
will have to be signed regardless of
any future changes ih the program.
"The majority of the men are
signing up and co-operating in an
effort to get our allotments just as
soon as possible. I urge that you all
come in this week and sign your
papers and not hold up the whole
county.
"Let me again assure you that
you are placing yourself under no
obligation and that if you sign the
papers, you arfc ■ pat affecting the
chances of any futuVe chaitgrs in
the program. You cannot gain any-
thing by waiting but if you delay
signing your papers, you will cause
everyone in the county to be very
late in getting his rice allotment.
"Please give us your co-opera-
tion and sign your papers this
week."
Attend the President's Ball.
