Tm Just'a Lookin' For'a Home'-
The Youth Club !s Singing That Now
"I'm just'a lookin' for 'a home,
Boss," is what the Boll Weevil said
n his lament, and that's the song
the Palaeios Youth Club is sieg-
ing- these days.
Finding the VFW Hall too
small, the club has taken up quar-
ters in the building next to the
fire Station owned by Dr. L. A.
Wileox—but the building has a big
"For Rent" sign in the window.
'1 We'll be there until it's rented
out," Mrs. Rose Treybig, director,
said this week. "We're going to
Continue holding our regular Sat-
urday night socials right on
through the school year."
Membership in the club has now
soared to hailing distance o'f 150
"teen-agers" enrolled on the ros-
ter.
Mrs. Treybig said the building
is almost bare, and badly in need
Of /tables fend chairs for the
youngsters.
"If anybody has any old fur-
hiture around the house or garage
they don't need, we could sure use
it."
The "Teen-age Canteen" was or-
ganized at the bcgstmingf jpf the
summer, backed by United Fund
A
At The Bayview
Patients In Hospital:
Dr. J. R. Wagner, Mrs. Effie
Palmer, Robert Dillard, John Mus-
selman.
Patients Dismissed;
Mrs. Bob Lawrence, Mrs. Eulolio
Flores, Herbert Schneider, Robert
Inglis, Houston; Mrs. Clara Blay-
lock, Mrs. E. Weakley, Frank Gil-
laspie,
Mr. and Mrs. Herschell Stork
and Gerald returned to Palaeios
this week after spending 12 weeks
in Alabama.
The Albert Barrera family had
former Palaeios residents as their
guests over the week-end. They
were Mr. and Mrs. Moses Palaeios
Sr., Mr. and Mrs. David Palaeios,
Mr. and Mrs. Moses Palaeios Jr.,
Mrs. Lydia Rossett Jr., and Noe
Palaeios all of San Antonio.
Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Tolleson had
as their guests over the Labor Day
week-end Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Nor-
ris and 'family of Corpus Christi,
A. C. Norris and Lou Norris, Mr.
and Mrs. M..E. Mertz and children
of Houston, Mr. and Mrs. B. M.
Flynn and family of Bellaire.
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Gasparek,
Bobby, Nicki, Billy, and Danny, of
Wichita Falls Texas, are guests at
the George Kana home. Mr. Gas-
parek and family were former
residents and had a photography
studio here. He is now an instruc-
tor at Sheppard Air Force Base.
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Sullivan and
children moved Saturday to Angle-
ton where they will teach this
year. Mr. and' Mrs. S. T. Oglesby tember 17, at 8 p.m., a Farm Plan-
moved this week into the Sullivan ning Meeting; September 18, at 2
money. It has its own roster of
elected officers and is backed by
a parent organization.
Adults are present at all activi-
ties and members are required to
sign "in" and "out" on the guest
book, putting the time of arrival
and departure on the book for the
benefit of parents.
Matagorda County
Home Demonstration
Council Meeting
The Matagorda County Home
Demonstration Council was per-
meated with a spirit of reunion as
it met for its September meeting
in the Service Center at Bay City
Tuesday afternoon, this being the
only meeting since Rally Day early
in July. This was a good meeting
as all clubs were represented by
20 members and visitors.
For recreation the Cedar Lane
club had two word association con-
tests and awarded prizes, a set of
measuring spoons and a spoon
rest, to each of the winners, Mrs,
Melba Hackworth of Pledger and
Mrs. V. C. Glenn of Bay City. 1
Each club had enthusiastic re-
ports of its last meeting when
"Window Treatment" was the
topic. The clubs seemed to acclaim
this one of its most helpful and
full of ideas demonstrations and
has been put into practice in many
instances. The meeting on Select-
ing and Repairing Electrical
Equipment, which had been given
by 4-H teams, was hailed as out-
standing.
Council approved the revision of
the Scholarship Fund, even to its
new name, Student Loan Fund,
and immediately approved an ap-
plicant to secure this fund to at-
tend college this fall. The amount
of this fund has been increased
from $250 to $500.
This was election time and the
entire slate of officers were re-
turned to office in the council,
these being Mrs. Martin Nelson,
council chairman; Mrs. Frank
Hurta, vice-chairman; Mrs. V. C.
Glenn, secretary and Mrs. John
Jensen, treasurer.
Mrs. W. B. Lowe, THDA chair-
man, speaking for a group she
represented, the county program
building committee, asked the
question Do you have any prob-
.ems? The aim of this is to hear
the suggestions of what the people
of the county would like to see
tried in the way of building up the
county, or programs the people
would lVftfe see advanced. This
committee will study and evaluate
these suggestions and decide
whether they could recommend
following them through. Not only
club people but any interested in-
dividual with interest and vision
is invited to present his ideas.
Sounds like a step toward advance-
ment.
Mrs. Duncan had these pertinent
announcement of meetings: Sep-
home on Moore Avenue and Mr.
and Mrs. C. C. McDonough of
York, Nebr. moved into the home
they recently purchased from the
Oglesbys,

Sports Writer Dick Young, writ-

gripe against official scorers. The
scorers, he says, are still handing
out sacrifices to guys who bunt
with their team six runs behind
In the ninth inning. When, Young
asks, is the scoring committee go-
ing to end that nonsense?

the sloppy copy she turns in she
hates to admit she majored in
English at Northern Illinois State

She was born and raised in

a coal field worker.
Jack and Lorraine first came to
Texas in 1926 when Jack worked
as a bricklayer in Houston. They
returned to Illinois, but came back
to Houston in 1938.
Jack worked on the construction
of ALCOA at Point Comfort and
on the Reynold's plant at Aransas
Pass before the couple settled here
in 1952.
They have one son, three daugh-

about had him whipped Tuesday
afternoon.
A bum'ble bee hive .in an alley
near Central Elementary School
was the problem.
It had to be wiped out, as the
bees were proving to be a hazard
to school children navigating the
alley on their way home.
M Her had rigged up a gas bomb
device and tried it out, but he said
the bees were unaffected.
He was conferring with C. A.
Paxton to see if some other poison
would do the job.

IN THE CREDIT where credit
is due department, ABOtJT TOWN
tips its hat th s week to C. II.
Chatham for the fine jo'b he did,
almost single-handedly, in organ-
izing and putting over the boat
races Monday.
He received help from several
sources, b$t most of the actual
work fell on his shoulders, and he
proved bjg enough to carry it.
Chatham has also been very
successful in collecting monthly
dues to keep the Chamber of Com-
merce moving, rather than fading
from existence.

PARKING spaces in the down-
town areas have 'been marked off
in gleaming yellow paint as an aid
to local motorists. .
There's no ordinance requiring
drivers to park within the mark-
ers, but it is certainly courteous
to other drivers to do so. Not only
does it make parking easier, but
more cars can be parked in each
block if everyone stays within
their marker.
* * *
WHILE MAKING the short
readership poll Saturday, we ran
into several sucgest'ons for im-
proving the editorial content of
the Beacon, although many of
them may be difficult to bring
about.
Some were a matter of personal
opinion that aren't desirable in
the overall view.
Some are a matter of policy.
If any of you didn't get an op-
portunity to express yourself and
have some ideas for improvement,
drop us a card or call.

THE SHORTENING of school
lunch peri'ods to 30 minutes this
year has brought forth a loud cry
of both complaints and defense for
the measure.
Parents are complaining that
children don't have enough time
to go home for meals m many
cases, and "wolf" their meals in a
hurry to get back to school.
They said that children who Stay
at the cafeterias for lunch have to
stand in long lines and often don't
have enough time to eat slowly.
On the other side of the slate,
principals decided to cut the lunc l
hour for several reasons.
School children who ride buses
from the rural areas get home
earlier. Teachers have extra time
at the end' of the day for memo-
graph work and special prepara-
tion for their classes.
Also, by cutting down the lunch
period, a high school discipline
problem is solved. The teen-agers
don't have time for riding or sit-
ting around in cars or any serious
mixing o'f the sexes during the
short lunch period.

MRS. HERSCHELL Stork, who
has just returned 'from a 12 week
stay in Alabama, brought a clip-
ping from the Mobile Press by the
Beacon office Wednesday.
Mi's. Stork said that people in
Texas won't believe her when she
talks about the big fishing "ju-
bilee" they have along the beaches
there each year.
Just to prove it really happens,
she brought the clipping back with
her, describing " the jubillee".
.. quote:- ''Natives of- tW~»pi
know what this (jubillee) means,
but to the newcomers, here is an
explanation.
A condition develops in th& Wa-f,
ters of Mobile Bay—a combination
of water conditions, weather and
probably a mood of the denizens oJj
the deep. No one knows exactly
what it is.
But what htappens lis really
sensational. Fish ^seemingly be-
coming suddenly allergic to their
natural habitat and head for shore.
They come to the shore by the
thousand's — flounders, crabs,
shrimp, sheepshead, mullet and
eels.
Folks walk along the beach with
sacks and gigs or get into boats
and float around close to shore.
Some catches in the past have
been phenomenial. Folks have
come away with hundreds of
pounds of crabs and flounders."
iWELL, THERE it is. I have to
believe it or show a lack of con-
f der.ee in one of my newspaper
colleagues. Just wish it would
happen around here—maybe my
luck would improve.
