ABOUT TOWN—
(Continued From Page 1)
A DOG TAG chain with a
medallion attached was turned in
at the Little League game Tues-
day night, apparently belonging to
Some youngster. The medallion has
two Scotty dogs on the face of it,
and can be collected by dropping
by the Beacon or contacting Ed
Cooper.

A VOTE of thanks and apprecia-
tion goes to all the people who
contributed, worked with, or just
came to the Palacios Little League
game Tuesday night. Palacios has
shown a great generosity in rais-
ing the 'funds to get the program
started. All who have worked with
it felt good Tuesday night after
seeing the large crowd at the
game.
We hope to have a much better
program by next season, but no
one is ashamed of the results of
the work started this year.
Card Of Appreciation
I wish to thank all for their ex-
pressions and acts of kindness, and
their prayers, during my recent ill-
ness, and also to thank Dr. Wilcox
and the staff of Bay View General
Hospital for their efficient and
considerate care. F. J. Brhlik
Pfc. Leroy Smith, Jr. left Pala-

Palacios Visitor
Won Air Force
Suggestion Award
Dan Coffey and his family, who
are visiting Mr. and Mrs. A. Ilioux
here this week, recently added
$2,205. to their budget as a result
of- the cash award he received
from the Air Force for a sugges-
tion which saved the service over
1 Ms million dollars.
An employee of Perrin AFB,
Coffey, in his job as a quality con-
trol inspector at the air base, re-
peatedly noticed that workmen
ignored the weekly inspection of
the dehydrator system of the
marker beacon_ antenna in the
North American F-86D Sabre Jet.
As a result, some of the antennas
absorbed too much moisture and
pilots were complaining of coming
in for landings off the beam.
Coffey suggested a relocation
for the container so that it could
be checked easily. The suggestion
Was tested and it worked.
