Local CAP Flyers
Spot Sunken Sled;
Aid Man's Rescue
Two Palacios Civil Air Patrol
flyers were credited Tuesday with
the rescue of a Victoria Fisherman
and the recovery of a companion's
body from the waters of East
Espiritu Santo Bay.
The flyers, Clarence Cunning-
ham and Alton Lambright, were
aiding in a joint Air Force-civilian,
search for a missing jet fighter-
when they sighted an overturned
boat with a dog on top.
They saw a crash boat in the In-
tra-coastal Canal, flew their plane
over it and dropped a message in-
forming the crew of the boat of
the accident.
The boat from Matagorda Air
Force Base, went to the seene im-
mediately and found T. B. Clay, 61,
a Victoria tourist court operator,
clinging to the craft. He had tied
H. W. Stagner's body to the boat,
preventing it from becoming lost.
Stagner, 65, was a retired Vic-
toria business man.
Clay was admitted to the Cal-
houn County Memorial Hospital
suffering from shock and exhaus-
tion, but his general condition is
reported as 'good'.
Clay, who is partially crippled,
reported to Port Lavaca officials
that the pair was fishing shortly
after noon when a water spout,
caused by a line squall, capsized
their boat.
Louis Koerber Jr., of the local
Civil Air Patrol unit reported last
Wednesday night that the body of
the missing Air Force pilot had
been found. It was found by search
parties within five miles of the
spot where Clay was rescued.
The Air Force plane had been
missing since approximately 10i30
a.m., Tuesday.

900 Attend 25th Annual W. M. U.
'Graded Camp On Baptist Grounds
The Woman's Missionary Union's
Graded Camp, the only -one of its
kind, will hold its final sessions at
the Texas Baptist Encampment
Grounds tomorrow.
More than 900 are attending this
year's camp, the twenty-fifth an-
nual session to be held at the lo-
cal encampment grounds. This ses-
sion began Monday.
Mrs. E. B. Anderson, camp di-
rector, pointed out that the 900 in
attendance this year was a tre-
^mendous increase over the 96 that
'» attended the first camp in 1932.
By designating this as a graded
camp she said that they were able
to give instruction to children
ij^from the age of four on up.
This camp offers varied recrea-
tional activities for the young peo-
ple. Handicraft classes, swimming,
Softball and fellowship hours are
planned for the groups.
Emphasis is placed on Mission
Study. It is for this purpose that
the camp is graded. The younger
children, or Sunbeams, are group-
ed together for instruction, while
the older boys and girls are divided
into age groups for study.
Rev. and Mrs. Morris Wright,
missionaries from Japan, were
guest speakers at the camp.
The entire group, said Mrs. An-
derson, comes from the Houston
a/ea, and 35 pastors from that
area are also attending the camp
and aiding with the instruction.
According to Dr. Cecil Hyatt,
business manager of the camp, one
of the two largest groups of the
year will encamp on the grounds
June 30 when the State Training
Union holds its annual meeting.
This camp will run from June 30
until July 4, and over 2000 are ex-
pected to attend.
WHAT IS A SAFE AUTO SPEED FOR
ONE MAY BE SUICIDE FOR ANOTHER
Wide Difference In Judgment, Reaction,
Temperament, Physical Make-Up
t-
^ "What's YOUR safe speed?"
™ E. C. MeFadden of Dallas, presi-
dent of the Texas Safety Associa-
tion, Inc., asked that question of
Texas drivers today as he discuss-
the current speed control pro-
gram of Texas Safety Association,
Department of Public Safety, and
the National Safety Council.
Slogan of the program is: "Don't
be a Hurry Bug—slow down and
live!"
"What is a safe speed for one
person may be suicidal for anoth-
er," Mr. MeFadden continued.
"We're all individuals and we don't
leave our individuality behind U3
when we step behind the wheel."
Mr. MeFadden pointed out that
there is a wide difference between
people in such things as judgment,
reaction time, temperament, and
physical make-up.
Determine Speed
All of these things, and many
more, determine the speed at
which a motorist can drive safely,
he said.
' T-fc'The person with slow reactions,
faulty vision, or jumpy nervee cer-
tainly should drive at a slower pace
than that of the individual who
habitually makes suund split-second
decisions and is blessed with 20/20
vision and iron nerves in the bar-
gain," Mr. MeFadden said.
He made the further point that
what may be a safe speed for a
person today may be too fast for
him tomorrow.
If You're Tired, Worried
"If you're tired, worried, or un-
der par physically, you can't eon-
trol your car or cope with traffic
as efficiently as you can when
you're relaxed and in good health,"
Mr. MeFadden said. "So make it a
rule to let today's state of mind
and body dictate today's speed.
"And don't forget," he added,
"that outside conditions such as
weather, road, traffic, and the
mechanical fitness of your car
must also help decide your speed."

No one develops eye strain from
looking on the brighter side of
things. Fishing has improved con-
siderably, so anglers should be
looking at the water through rose
colored glasses this week-end. The
Tres-Palacios is salty, and small
School trout are biting along Red
Bluff, Cotton Patch, and Wilson
Creek. ,
Half Moon, Oliver Point, Fence
Post, Collegeport Cove, Well's
Point, aud Army Reef have paid
off for boat fishermen and waders.
Welcome Home: Ernest Tresselt
Jr. has returned to his home on
Bayshore road after serving two
years in the army. Ernest Jr. and
his dad Ernest Sr. plan to catch
up on postponed fishing trips.
Good luck to hoth.
Happy Birthday: To John Suth-
erland, affectionately called "Uncle
John" by his many fishing friends
here in Palacios. Uncle John was
91 years young Wednesday, and
his home is in Bay City. But his
favorite and regular fishing spot
is the Army Reef off Camp Hulen.
Many happy fishing days to a
•grand gentleman, and fisherman.
Jack Harris, John Martin, Sher-
man Green, and Alton Richardon
spent two nights at the peninsula.
Gaff tops numbering 48, trout eight,
and seven flounder were in their
ice box. Flounders were two to
four pound ones.
Fence Post Reef: F. J. Brhlik
and John Hnatek brought 40 school
trout in from here, "'Gosh dog",
reported Brhlik, "we let a big red
get away. Only had a No. 10 test
Tine, hooked a big one. Got it along,
side of the boat and saw a black j
spot bigger than a half dollar..
Then when the line got going out'
straight, well, line,.cork, fish and
all went."
W. B. and Lola Jaynes, 22 from
Fencc Post Saturday and 25 at old
Palacios Channel Sunday. Leon and
Margarite Arlla, lots of dandy
trout and garbage can of gafftop-
sails from Collegeport Slough.
Leon and Margarite recently
celebrated their 33rd anniversary.
Margarite's favorite gifts was an
UMCO Tackle box—plastic, light,
compact and just right for every-
thing. Leon found this dandy gift
at Faktor's Y Sport Shop here.
Port Alto: Spencer Johnson and
Bobby Jenkins find water just
right, and plenty of big specks
here. Of the 10 taken Friday, larg-
est was 3 with others two to
2% pounds. Spencer also brought
in three just "right size" drum,
and a two pound speck on Satur-
day. One day, Spencer gave me
his catch and I was cleaning them
on the shrimp table. Joe Dahl, 11,
asked why I cut the heads off. My
reply was it was quicker and
saved room in the freezer. Joe
looked rather skeptical, and re-
marked, "Gee, I never cut the
heads off of mine, cause then, they
look too little." His catch was
some real nice croakers, and school
trout.
An 80 pound gar was landed by
Ed White after it gave him as
much play as a big game fish. It
was in the slip near his cottage
on Bayshore Road. In case Ed is
interested, there is another big
one hanging around G.P.B.C. slip.
I bet the next fish container is
made of hardware cloth, when
Johnnie Greygurick, Joe and I. J.
Mozach go fishng. The three boys
were having such fast catches at
Fence Post, that after getting 36
specks, and things slowed, the boys
were n-ttuy to move. I. J. lifted the
net from over the side of boat, and
four fish remained. "Three' Sad
Sacs" came home, well prepared
to make another type fish con-
tainer.
Mystery Tales: Carl Ehlers of
Bay Chevrolet, tells me "I really
got them the other day." And left
me to figure out "What where"?
Does our local grocer, J. A. Par-
tain really catch fish and his fish-
ing buddies take all the credit??
What happened to the big fish
story Roscoe Boiling was going to
tell about his friend M. J. Gibson?
George and Walter Appling came
in late Tuesday evening with 89
dandies (specks) from a place
called "HA". Ever fish there?
Flounders; Lacey Lowry had a
two and half pound one taken in
upper East Bay.
Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Crain and
daughter Suzanne, of Bryan, guests
at Glendale courts, had good and
bad luck fishing off G.P.B.C. pier.
Suzanne caught her first fish and
it was the biggest for the family
Seven Building And Moving Permits
Issued; Next Meeting Set For July 5
Councilman Ed Feather took a verbal swing at "litter
bugs" during Monday night's regular City Council meeting
as the Council discussed ways of preventing the littered
conditions that now exist around the picnic tables on the
seawall.
City Attorney Eli Mayfield pointed out that there is a

Palacios Red Arrow Freight Offices
"There ought to be a $25 fine
and two days in jail for people
who gather around a fire and hin-
der firemen who are going about
their jobs," was the opinion ex-
pressed by Hardy Fountain.
Fountain, the local Red Arrow
freight agent, expressed' this
opinion as he surveyed the fire
damaged freight office Monday.
The fire broke out Saturday
afternoon.
He pointed to a bottle of oxygen
and said, "I was afraid that that
thing was going to explode. Nor-
mally it won't burn, you can put a
match to it, and it will put it out,
and a spark won't set it off. But I
receive bulletins on that stuff all
the time warning that it is danger-
ous and cautioning me to keep it in
Retopping Completed
On 3 City Streets
Says M. O. Cavallin
Retopping of East Bay Boule-
vard, Sixth and Seventh Streets
was completed this week accord-
ing to M. O. Cavallin, city water
superintendent.
All of East Bay Boulevard was
topped with shell and Seventh
Street from Main north for four
blocks was reworked. Sixth Street
was retopped from Main Street
north to Highway 35, a distance
of 11 city blocks.
Cavallin said that Sixth and
Seventh Streets were done entire-
ly by the city, but the work on
East Bay Boulevard was a joint
operation of the city and the coun-
ty.
He said that County Commis-
sioner Guy Johnson made arrange-
ments with the county for the use
of heavy road equipment. The
city does not possess the type of
equipment needed for such a job,
and without the county's coopera-
tion East Bay Bolevard could not
have been topped.
H. Torbert Uninjured
In Accident Monday
On Well's Point Road
Harmon Torbert a local oil field
worker, narrowly escaped injury
when the car he was driving went
out of control early Monday morn-
ing and struck a culvert on the
Well's Point Road.
Constable W. R. Hasley, who in-
vestigated the accident, reported
that Torbert was, "Lucky to be
alive."
The accident, which occurred
just inside the Matagorda County
line, happened at the junction of
Highway 35 and Well's Point road.
Torbert, who lives at Buff's
Trailer Courts, was returning
from work on a rig in Jackson
County. He was unfamiliar with
the road, reported Hasley, and
Highway 35 came up unexpectedly.
Torbert applied his brakes and his
car went into a skid. It struck the
culvert and turned over. He was
uninjured.
Damages to the car were esti-
mated at $1,400.
that day. Next day, Mrs. C. hooked
a large flounder, and Mr. C. was
helping her land it, when the
flounder got away. "Father also
ran". Mrs. C. caught and landed
another without aid.
Clifford Wright, 11, landed a 12
inch speck at G.P.B.C. pier Tues-
day.
John Alverez and Joe Morales
had seven specks two to three lbs.
and a 35 lb. drum from Oil Wells

were able to get some water on it

smoked but failed to catch fire
and said, "If those would have
caught the whole building would
have gone."
As it was, actual fire damage
was kept to the rear half of the
building. It was this portion of the
building that contained the .offices
and living quarters.
"You can quote me as saying,
'I think that we have the finest
volunteer fire department in the
state of Texas'," said Fountain.
The Fountains had gone down
town for some Father's Day shop-
ping and were not home when the
fire broke out. Fountain had no
idea how the fire started, or what
caused it.
He said that the Red Arrow
Safety Patrol made normal checks
at the local offices regularly, and
that they were always well satis-
fied with the safety procedures
practiced there.
"Living so close, like we do, we
always check to see that all the
fires are out when we go out of
the house, we make sure that the
stove is turned out, and that the
electrical appliances are turned
off. Thp children are even careful,
they'll sometimes ask me if I'm
sure that every thing is turned off
when we get ready to leave," he
said.
He was also unable to estimate
the extent to the damages. His
family's personal belongings,
clothes, letters, pictures, appli-
ances, and furnishings were de-
stroyed. Freight in the warehouse
was damaged principally by 'Smoke
and water, and the interior walls
of the building will have to be re-
placed.
Red Arrow claims adjustors are
expected later this week to fix
the exact damages.
Two Palacios Men
Rescued From Bay
In Sunday Mishap
Two Palacios men, Hugh Flew-
ellen and Claude Collins, Jr., were
rescued from Tres-Palacios Bay
Sunday when the boat in which
they were riding was capsized by
rough water.
The men were riding in a 12 foot
boat that was powered by a 12
h.p. motor when Collins, who was
steering, turned the boat too rapid,
ly into a wave.
The accident occurred approxi-
mately a quarter mile south-east
of the Pavilion. The men's cries for
help were heard by J. D. Munds
and Frank Weed, who were at
Mund's home, and A. H. Jastei\ a
visitor at the White Swan Courts.
The three men rushed to Grassy
Point Bait Camp in search of a
boat in which to go to their aid.
Munds and Weed took F. J. Brh-
lik's boat and Jaster got ihto a
small cruis»r owned by Joseph
Dove, of Houston.
They reached the scene at the
same time as E. Gillette, who was
in the area in a shrimp boat. Flew-
elien and Collins returned to shore
with Gillette.
law against throwing refuse
around, but that it is hard to en-
force because constant policing is
required to make the law effective.
The Council urged co-operation
of the local citizens in keeping the
picnic area free from trash and
watermellon rinds. They pointed
out that several trash barrels are
placed around the tables, and that
these barrels should be used. In
addition Councilman Ed Feather
moved to have signs placed around
the tables requesting that refuse
be placed in the containers pro-
vided for that purpose. Council-
man Charles Johnson seconded the
motion and the Council passed it
unanimously.
The meeting was presided over
by Mayor pro tem Harold Bell jn
the absence of Mayor A. H. Peter-
sen. Mayor Petersen is convales-
cing at his home following a 'slight
stroke' recently. He is reported
'much improved' and is progress-
ing favorably.
Councilman Johnson brought
the conditions of the rest rooms at
Municipal Airport to the attention
of the Council. He pointed out
that some carpenter work had been
done out there, but that the rooms
had not been re-painted after the
work. And as a result, he said,
they are unsightly. He moved that
the rest rooms at the airport be
put into a respectable condition.
Councilman Ed Barrett seconded
the motion and it passed the Coun-
cil.
The proposed budget for the
Matagorda County Health Unit
was presented to the Council for
approval. The new budget has a
$7.60 yearly increase over last
year's, but it was explained by a
County Health Official that the
slight increase was necessitated
because of an increased salary
for one of the clerks. Councilman
Barrett moved to accept the new
budget, Councilman Homer Apari-
cio seconded the motion and it
passed the Council.
Central Power and Light Com-
pany's revised rate schedule was
accepted by the Council. The new
schedule, which contains rates
now in effect, was presented to
the Council for consideration at
the last regular meeting. It was
studied and found to have no
changes from the present rates.
Councilman Barrett made the mo-
tion to accept, Councilman John-
son seconded, and it passed the
Council.
Seven building and moving per-
mits came before the council for
approval. They were: Manico Gati.

CLUB MEMBERS
TO SELL CAKES
AT '4TH' FETE
Lion President
Says Carnival
Progress 'Good'
The Alapha Club will sponsor
the cake walk at the annual Lion's
Club 4th of July Carnival that will
be held here July 2 through 4 ac-
cording to Mrs. Janice Laurencet
reporter for the women's study
group.
She said that the walk had, in
previous years, been sponsored by
the local P.-T. A., but for this
year's event it had been turned
over to the Alapha Club.
Mrs, Laurence said that those
who had planned to make cakes
for the event should do so, and
that the cakes may be left at the
home of Mrs. Ed. Feather.
As for the carnival itself, Litjn
President G. G. Lawson, Jr., re- •
ports that "Everything will be
ready in plenty of time for the
opening night."
More than 15 booths, holding
everything from a penny pitch to
a dunking machine, will be scat-
tered about the carnival grounds
tempting those who attend. The
temptation will be made even
greater by the glittering array of
prizes offered for various feats of
skill.
A big-top atmosphere promises .
to prevail on the carnival grounds
throughout the three-day affair. It .
will be held on the corners of'
Main, First and Bayshorfe.
Scheduled for this year's fete
are pony rides, car rides, a train
and a carousel for children, G. G.
Lawson pointed out that there
would be bingo games to offer
excitement for the adults.
Sodas and snow cones will be
sold on the grounds as well as
barbecue and cake and pie sales.
One hundred different fireworks
displays will highlight the event
on the night of the Fourth. The-
displays, which are expected to be«
gin around 9 p.m., will last for ap»
proximately 45 minutes, accord--
ing to Lawson.
The entire proceeds from the
affair will go to charities. A por-
tion of it will go to the Lion's
Crippled Children's Home, but
chiefly it will1 be used for local<
programs such as eyesight conser-
vation according to the Lion presi-
dent.
Mr. and Mrs. Jim W. Phillips
and children of Del Mar, California
are visiting friends and renewing
acquaintances here this week.
Water's Dollar Value
Pointed Out By Rioux
Chamber of Commerce Presi-
dent Adolphus Rioux pointed out
the economic value of fresh water
in an interview Monday.
Quoting from the Texas Business
Review, a monthly summary of
business and economic conditions
in Teaxs that is published by the
University of Texas, Rioux said
that a survey showed that the
average water usage per employee
by industry per year was one and
a half piillion gallons.
If you multiply this figure by
1,500 employees, the estimated em-
ployment of Alcoa's proposed
plant, the yearly water usage for
that plant would be approximately
22 and a half billion gallons.
The minimum selling price of
water is usually around 5 cents
per 1,000 gallons. A plant of that
size would purchase in the neigh-
borhood of $112,500 worth of wa-
ter per year.
$100 Cash, Prizes
Offered For First
Cotton Ginned Here
At least $100 in cash and nu-
merous other prizes from stores in
the Palacios area will be given to.
the farmer who gins the first bale
of cotton at the Farmer's Co-op
Gin here this season, according
to J. H. Shearer of the Chamber of
Commerce.
Shearer was appointed head of
a committee to draw up a list of
prizes, and, he indicated, that many
local businessmen have already
said that they will donate a prize.
A complete list of prizes will be
announced at a later date.
Frank Stewart, secretary of the
Farmer's Co-op Gin here, said that
the first bale of cotton could be
expected about the middle of July.
He also said that, in addition to
other prizes, the Co-op would gin
the first bale received from this
area free.
Miss Elaine Klennurt left Mon-
day to enroll in Southwestern
Business University in Houston.
