They plan to have Santa visit our
town sometime during the after-

So make your plans now to be in
Palacios on Christmas Eve after-
noon.
While this is a Legion sponsored
event, any organization or individ-
ual who wishes to work with the
Legionaires are welcome to do so
and all financial and moral support
will be greatly appreciated.

working together to help make
Christmas a little happier for some
child who might otherwise be for-
gotten. They are collecting and re-
pairing old toys and have their

Queen Theatre is giving his assist-
ance by having a 10 o'clock matinee
Saturday, Dec. 17. Admission to be
toys, old or new, clothes, canned
good3 or anything that might be
used and added to this collection for
Santa's visit and to help make
ristmas Cheer.

Final Arrangements
Made For Fight Nite
One of the most interesting pro-
gram set to be given has been ar-
ranged for "fight night" Friday,
Dec. 9. Those interested in good,
clean, hard competition will get
their money worth in the six bouts
that will be staged. In addition to
this there will be a second "battle
royal." The fans that were present
at the last battle royal will remem-
ber that it was worth the price of
admission several times over. Ver-
non Thomas, feels that he has mas-
tered the art of striking in the dark
and will be after any shadow that
crosses his path.
Houston Savage and Leo Brown
have built up quite a reputation and
will be out to defend this reputa-
tion. Savage will get a return go
with "Slow Water" Gibson. Gibson
promises to pin Savage to the back
of his neck before the first round
is over. Savage feels that he is
competent of caring for himself and
landing one or two blows before
going down before the onslaught of
Gibson.
Leo Brown has a tenative match
with Calvin Ragusin which should
be a thriller. Both boys have been
seen in action by local fans and can
always be depended on to give a
good show. Other matches are as
follows: Richard Kilgore vs. Junior
Payne, Ballard Johnson vs. Clifton
Bradshaw, Marshal Claybourn vs.
John Louderback, James Ressler vs.
W. H. Stanley. In the ward school
Jack Lipscomb vs. Emmett Chiles.
In the battle royal we have Vernon
Thomas, Kenneth Alton, Houston
Savage, Elton Hamlin, Harold Bar-
ber, and Richard Kilgore.

Use of Seals
"Use Christmas Seals." This ap-
peal for wide use of the double-
barred cross tuberculosis stamp is
made this week by the local com-
CHRISTMAS
SEALS
Help to Protect
Your Home from
Tuberculosis
mittee in an effort to obtain co-
operation toward a record for the
community.
The committee suggests the fol-
lowing ways of using the Seals:
On cards and packages to foreign
countries.
On Christmas packages and cards
mailed to any place in this country.
On correspondence cards to carry
Christmas messages.
On bridge tallies and place cards
at- parties this month.
On church calendars.
On bills, business letters, bulle-
tins, lodge notices.
As Christmas tree decorations
worked out in special designs.
As part of a stamp collection.
On restaurant menu's.
Christmas Seals make a beauti-
ful decoration. Teamed with mil-
lions of others they are making
possible a life-saving campaign thaT
is saving hundreds of thousands of
lives.
DRIFTWOOD
DRAGGED UP BY THE
BEACHCOMBER
Our typewriter sort of jumped
the track last week and wrote Guy
Barnett instead of Guy Claybourn,
in connection with the County or
City Iron Lung matter. However,
we feel sure that Mr. Barnett is of
the same opinion, so we trust these
two guys will pardon ouf error.
* * *
The "abundant life" seems to
grow by leaps and bounds and now
sprouts an entirely new branch. We
note that a New York face-lifter,
with a penchant for social service,
wants to make a "beauty" line as
well as a bread line and began by
renovating a hook nose and remov-
ing a set of warts for a feminine
relief client. The idea is that her
new beauty will raise the morale of
the household and give her jobless
husband such great inspiration that
he shall dash forth and wrest a live-
lihood from a cold and cruel world.
So if his experiment works, the
next thing we know Uncle Sam may
be handing out hyacinths along with
every loaf in an effort to end un-
employment.
» * *
We were forunate this week to
have in our possession a Bible pub-
lished in 1813, one hundred and
twenty-five years old. Published in
New Yorkf it contains the Apochry-
pha and "arguments prefixed to the
different books; with moral and
theological observation!? illustrating
each chapter, composed by the Rev.
Mr. Ostervald" of "Neufchatel in
Swisserland." The opening sentence
of the "Preliminary Discourse"
reads: "That great numbers neglect
the reading of the Holy Scriptures
is as evident as it is deplorable."
Did you ever hear those words be-
fore ?
In the Apochrypha we came
across an amusing little story that
goes to prove that human nature
changes little through the progress
of the centuries. Three young sold-
iers set out to prove which was the
wisest and each wrote a sentence
and gave them to the king to judge.
The first wrote "Wine i3 the strong-
est" and strengthened his claim by
stating that when in his cups a man
was not his own master, but was
jolly or pugnacious according to the
will of the wine. The second wrote,
"The king is the strongest," evi-
dently fishing for a good govern-
ment job, proving his statement by
citing that all the resources of the
kingdom were at the king's com-
mand; the wisdom and power of his
subects as well as the material re-
sources of the land. The third wrote
"Women are the strongest." He told
the company that they all came
from women, that all they accom-
plished in warfare or production
was for the sake of women, and
that even the king was putty in the
hands of a pretty maid whose favor
he sought. But being a very wise
young man, indeed, and not wishing
to be held responsible for any
household arguments that might
ensue, and probably having a wife
of his own who might hear of the
statement, he added, "But Lrulh is
the strongest of all, for wine and
men and women, kings and princi-
palities, are often wicked and per-
ish in the end, but truth endureth
forever."
Sun Co. Moves Material For
No. 1 M. O. Cavallin Test Well
Oil news for this section is lock-
ing much brighter, with the an-
nouncement of further drilling by
the Sun Company, and rumors of
other companies looking over the
situation.

Guest Speaker at
Rotary, Wednesday
Guy Johnson' in charge of the
program for the Rotary Luncheon,
Wednesday had as his guests, Pat
Thompson and E. O. Taulbee, of
Bay City, who gave the Palacios
Rotarians some very interesting in-
formation.
"Rural Service" was the topic and
Mr. Thompson in his remarks
stressed the need of cooperation of
business men, and merchants with
the farmers, and the backing of
farm movements. He also spoke on
the 4-H Clubs for boys, of how
much benefit the colored boys had
derived from the Club and favored
the organizing of 4-H Clubs for our
white boys all over the county.
Mr. Taulbee further stressed
these needs in his remarks and also
spoke on the progress of the Intra-
Coastal Canal and other projects of
interest to the county.
Resides Messrs. Taulbee and Pat
Thompson, R. O. Kiser, of Bay City
was a visitor and rotarians, Harris,
Denham, and Traylor, and Mr.
Regan of Port Lavaca were in at-
tendance. Four members of the
local club were absent. Carlton
Crawford presided in the absence
of President Appleton. A real Mexi
can dinner was served and the
Green Lantern Inn was the meeting
place.
Community Christmas
Program, Dec. 18
The churches of the city, and the
Parent-Teacher Association, are
cooperating with Director Park in
giving a Community Christmas pro-
gram, on Sunday evening, Dec. 18,
all the churches are dismissing ser
vices in favor of this program.
The program given last Christ-
mas under the direction of Mr. Park
was highly successful, and there
were many requests for another
such program this year.
Since the Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation had previously planned a
Community Christmas program, to
include all the churches, it was de-
cided that the association, along
with the churches, would unite with
Mr. Park in bringing to the public
the Christmas message in an in-
spirational and entcitaining man-
ner.
This program will take the place
of the regular P. T. A .meeting for
the month of December.
ATHENA CLUB
The Athena Club met at the home
of Mrs. Ted Elder on December 5,
1938 with 18 members present.

art exhibit and anyone who had
contributions was requested to see
Mrs. Salsbury. Mrs. Thomas Bran-
don was elected delegate to the
Federation Meeting.
The committee responsible for
placing the milk bottles in the
stores for Xroas contributions was
given the authority to select the
family to aid and to spend the

Mrs. D. M. Green, Mrs. J. L. Fox,
and Mrs. Arnold Burton were nam-
ed a committee to collect the wrap-
pers and labels for the Permanent

mas Story, Miss Marilla Holliday.
Farm No. 1, is being removed to
this location and crews are here
ready for drilling operations.
The Houston Post of last Thurs
day gave the following account of
newest development in the Franci-
tas Field northwest of Palacios.
Wynne Crosby Drilling company's
No. 1 Broughton, about 6200 feet
northeast of Texas company's No
1 Weed discovery well at Franeitas,
is flowing into tanks through a
three-sixteenth-inch choke making
an estimated 13 harrels of oil an
hour. Tubing pressure was 2750
pounds and casing pressure 2350
pounds. No salt water was found.
This test is a Texas company
farm-out and is located on the line
between lots 44 and 45, block 6, of
the Schwind and Maher subdivision.
Sand showing oil was logged at
7378-7400 feet and after a two-foot
shale break sand was cored at
7402-16 feet. Casing was set on bot-
tom at 7416 feet. On a drill stem
test last week-end, the well recov-
ered 1500 feet of 42.5 gravity oil in
15 minutes at 7384-7410 feet.
The Broughton oiler definitely
establishes the Franeitas area as an
oil field. The Texas company's No.
1 Weed is making gas and distillate
from sand about 60 feet below the
