'Virtues Thct Made
America' Unchanged
The nation is observing the 100th
anniversary of the birth of Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Something he wrote has not lost
significance with the passage of
the years: "Americanism means
the virtues of courage, honor, jus-
tice truth, sincerity and hardi-
hood—the virtues that made Amer-
ica. The things that will destroy
America are prosperity-at.-any-
price, peace-at-any-price, safety-
first instead of duty-first, the love
of soft, living and the get-rich-
quick theory of life.''

FISHING—
(Continued From Page 1)
ports of boating and drowning ac-
cidents. Some of these are un-
avoidable, others are caused from
pure carelessness such as speeding,
going to closc to other boats, over-
loading, lack of lifesavers in the
boat imd many other reasons.
Most everyone who lives along
the Gulf coast, or any body of wa-
ter, learns to respect both the
water and the craft he uses on
that water. The boating equip-
ment now available is the best, so
if you own a boat of any kind,
don't abuse it. Keep it in good
condition, check frequently to see
it does not leak, check gas supply
before making a trip and always
have life savers on hand. Most of
all do riot speed unless in a boat
race—a speeding boat on any wa-
ter can be a deadly missile if op-
erated by a careless boatman. Use
caution and you can be certain you
will make tils'- return trip home.

Nazarenes Look To
Pilot Point Founding
Event On October 13
The eyes of Texas—and the
minds and hearts of many devout
Christians around the world—will
be upon Pilot Point, a small village
in the north-central part of the
Lono Star State next October 13.
On that date, a monument of
pink Texas grar.ite will be un-
veiled there, marking the exact
place where the Church of the
Nazarene, an international Prot-
estant denomination was founded
fifty years ago. The ceremony will
take place with an appropriate
program before a throng of visi-
tors that will double the usual
village population.
Among the notables invited will
be the Governor of Texas. The
Church of the Nazarene is be-
lieved to be the only religious
denomination that claims Texas as
a birth place.

Conservation News
Alvin Rampmeier, owner and op-
erator of a livestock farm west of
Palacios, reports ha is seeding six
acres of Angleton and seven acres
of Medio bluestem for land cover
and forage production. Alvin also
reports that his cattle are in fine
condition this spring since they
have been grazing on fertilized
pasture which lie has developed as
a part of his conservation crop. He
went on to say that proper fer-
tilizing of his pasture not only
improves the production of his
grasses, but also improves the
quality of his grass. He went on
to say that he has been keeping
mineral out for his cows at all
time, but he observed that si tcc
he keeps his pastures fertilized the
cattle consumes less than half the
amount of mineral they did before.
Henry Insall, Jr., reports that
they have completed fertilizing 22
acres of Medio bluestem on a farm
they operate near Clemville. He
?aid they applied 42 pounds of
available nitrogen and 45 pounds
of available phosphoric acid per
acre. He went on to say that they
plan to harvest a spring crop of
seed from this Medio to expand
their plantings.
Oscar Smith, whose farm is near
Palacios, fertilized 40 acres of
Angleton and seven acres of Medio
bluestem. Oscar says he has a
good crop of Singletary peas grow-
ing on 10 acres of his Angleton
bluestem. He explained that he
seeded the Singletary peas in the
fall three years ago for winter
cover and soi| improvement, and
that the peas reseeded each fall
and provided winter cover. He
said Singletary peas are a legume
crop and serve as a soil builder be-
cause they add nitrogen to the
soil, and the nitrogen is used to
promote growth in the Angleton
which grows on the land during
summer and fall.
