AUSTIN.—How much will Tex-
as' drought-shocked farm economy
be able to come back, thanks to
1957 rains?
U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates
says Texas' 1957 cash income, from
all farm and ranch products, may
be as much as $200,000,000 higher
than last year.
Actual statistics now in arc not
so rosy. Reports from the Uni-
versity of Texas Bureau of Busi
ness Research show cash income,
as of July, down 13 per cent from
July of last year. Farm income fox-
July Is 70 per cent of the 1948-49
average.
"Farm income," says a BBR
analyst, "is still the most depress-
ed sector of the Texas economy,
although rising prices and a better
outlook for crops give some
grounds for optimism."
Some attribute the poor cash
showing i'n reports thus far to late-
ness of crops in areas where con-
tinued spring rains delayed plant-
ing.
Whatever final statistics show,
most farmers and farm observers
seem to regard 1957 as the begin-
ning of better things. It rained.
And though the rains may have
washed out cotton, rotted melons
and mildewed grain, it "put a sea-
son in the ground."
Little Rock Repercussions
News from Little Rock, Ark.,
brought expressions of concern and
disapproval from the Texas Capi-
tol.
Gov. Price Daniel, on hearing
the President had sent in federal
troops to enforce school integra-
tion, fired off a telegram to the
White House. Such action, said
Daniel, was "reminiscent of the
tactics of Reconstruction Days."
"Does this mean you will occupy
with troops every nonintegrated
school in the South?" the Gover-
nor asked. "If so, your action will
destroy the public school systems
and good will among the races
whi'ch most of us in the South have
labored so hard to preserve.''
U. S. Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson,
who was in the State Capitol at
the time, for a Democratic women's
gathering, said he was "concerned
-disturbed."
"I think there should be no
troops from either side patrolling
our school campuses," said John-
son.
New Laws Suggested
Spectators of the ICT investiga-
tions are no longer interested i'n
what BenJack Cage did or didn't
do. Or in what he says or doesn't
say. They are more interested in
the effect the ICT matter will
have on future insurance regula-
tions.
Cage answered a few general
questions for the Senate investi-
gating committee. But he refused
to answer 90 others on grounds of
possible self incrimination.
However, officials of the State
Insurance Department spoke to the
committee specifically and with-
out hesitation. Commissioner Wil-
liam A. Harrison suggested need
for possible legislation i'n four
areas:
1. Board authority to determine
the competence of management and
to pass on management contracts.
(Jack Cage Co. had a manage-
ment contract with ICT.)
2. More board control over fi-
nancial record keeping by com-
panies. :
3t Change in the minimum capi-
tal requirements for organising- a
company (presumably to requfre
more capital).
4. Changes in insurance invest-
ment restrictions.
Flu Furore Fades
After the shock of the first
flare-up, most Texans seemed re-
signed to living with the Asian
flu threat for awhile.
Although cases tripled (to
151) in a week, health officials in
some areas reported a decline.
Some said they felt they were "over
the hump."
Shoemake's Policy Dropped
An Austin district judge has
ordered the state receiver to stop
paying premiums on A. B. Shoe-
make's giant insurance policy.
Value of the gradually diminishing
policy was down to $719,000.
At one time the policy would
have been worth $1,000,000 on
Shoemake's death. Money would
have been added to the assets of
the bankrupt US Trust and Guar-
anty Co.
Shoemake attempted to kill him.
self after his company collapsed.
His death seemed iminent, and the
$20,000-a-ycar premiums were kept
paid. Now, doctors say Shoemake
may live another 15 years.
School Panel
House Speaker Waggoner Carr
added three more to the committee
Which' i's to study means for
handling Texas' growing school
population. They are Mrs. Will
Miller of Corsicana, Nat Williams

ONLY GOD CAN
MAKE A TREE
The Garden Club, civic organi-
zations and schools of Palacios
have worked for the beautifica-
tion of Palacios by the planting
of more shrubs and trees. But is
their effort and work appreci-
ated? By many, yes! but by a
few. definitely not.
Ever since the Central Ele-
mentary School was completed,
the teachers and pupils have
worked hard to get shrubbery
and trees set out around the
building. During the hot, dry
summer months the janitor and
others made special trips there
to see that the plants were wa-
tered. But why go to all this
trouble when a few in a matter
of minutes can destroy what you
have worked years to get?
Some time during the week end
all shrubbery and trees, except
those in front of the Central
Elementary School, were de-
stroyed. A small tree was pulled
out of the ground, a beautiful
six foot Magnolia tree cut down
and all small shubbery trampled.
The first and third grades had
purchased bird-baths, these too
were destroyed.
Miss Elizabeth Sisson, princi-
pal, said Wednesday morning
that "we don't have the heart
to do anything more when some
will indulge in this type of van-
dalism."

Contract Let For
Grade Work On
F. M. Road 521
A contract for the construction
of grading and structures on Farm-
to-Market Road 521 in Matagorda
County was awarded in Austin last
week, W. E. Carmichael, District
Highway Engineer at Houston has
announced.
The firm of Perry Consti-uction
Company, San Antonio, submitted
the low bid of $228,814.97 on the
project which runs from .8 miles
east of F. M. 1095, northeast to
S. H. 60, a distance of 4.9 miles.
Resident Engineer Thomas A.
Fisher, Jr., of Bay City, will be in
charge of the project for the High-
way Department, and it is esti-
mated that the work will take 125
days to complete.
Vet Organizations
join Forces For
Membership Drive
Both the American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars are ac-
tive in building their 1958 mem-
berships. The serious setbacks
which have been suffered in bene-
fits to injured and disabled veter-
ans in the past year and the bills
ready for presentation to Con-
gress indicate a concerted drive
against such benefits.
Many believe this trend is due
to the apathetic attitude of too
many veterans with regard to
membership in their organizations.
Most veterans made solemn prom-
ises during their service that upon
the termination of hostilities they
would do everything possible for
those who were injured and for the
dependents of those who did not
come back. Veteran leaders point
out that fpr several years many
veterans have been taking full ad-
vantage Of veteran hospitals and
other facilities without contribut-
ing anything i'n money or personal
effort to those organizations which
are responsible for getting such
benefits provided by Congress.
They point out that unless .the
veterans indicate their interest by
maintaining strong veteran organ-
izations these benefits will be lost
to all including the free riders.
During the mid-thirties veteran
benefits at one time amounted to
almost thirty p*cent of the na-
tional budget. Today such benefits
are considerably below five per-
cent. Every veteran should do his
part through membership in one
or more veteran organizations.^

Hornets Travel To
Velasco; Schedule
For 7th Graders
The Junior High Hornets motor
to Velasco today for their second
game of the season following the
rain-out game with the Tidehaven
"B" team last Thursday night.
The Hornets go into the game
as the underdogs as the Velasco
team is reported to be as strong
as the Freepurt team that defeated
the Hornets in the opening game
of the season.
The seventh game Hornets will
open their season here Tuesday
night, Oct. 8 at 7:45 p.ffc playing
the 7th and 8th graders of Tide-

22, Lolita here; Oct. 29, Sweeryr
here; Nov. 5, Lolita there. The
Lclita and Blessing teams will both
use their seventh and eighth grad-
ers.
work on both offense and defense.
The desire to win is still the main
element for the success of the
team at this point, the coach said.
Improvement has been what we
expected, however, we must con-
tinue to improve as wo meet stiffer
competition, week by week.
When asked who he thought
stood out the most in last week's
game. Coach Newbill simply said,
"If you don't like the hospitality
up here, get out!" I guess he meant
they all played as he had wished.
Rotarians Hear Of
Team Building By
" Coaches
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Law and
Vicki Lynn have returned to Pasa-
dena, Texas, after spending two
weeks with their parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Law of Collegeport and
Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Fox of Bay
City.
Mrs. Winifred Thompson and
children of Pasadena, Mrs. Thelma
Gifford and children of Schertz
and Mrs. Carl Halliday of Port La-
vaca are here with their parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Henr.y Barrett, help-
ing to care for their brother, Sterl-
ing Barrett, who is critically ill
at the Bay View Genera! Hospital.
John C. Carnies was in charge
of the Rotary program at their
weekly meeting Wednesday noon.
Coach Joe Newbill and his as-
sistant R. D. Renfro were guest
speakers, and spoke of their foot-
ball team.
Coach Newbill gave a very com-
prehensive and interesting talk on
what the coaches try to do in build-
ing a football team. He outlined
four major points in building a
team. A team needs discipline and
desire, then conditioning and edu-
cation in the game itself.
He complimented the community
on the discipline of the boys. Coach
said Palacios was a good school
to coach for; the people of the
community made it so. The dis-
cipline of the bovs enabled them
to take coaching, itnd the adminis-
tration in the past has helped con-
siderably in the molding of the
team.
Education is the first considera-
tion. A team needs high standards
while athletics must be secondary.
Participants fn the game of foot-
ball are rewarded through what
they pick up which will help them
later in life. Scholastic-ally, a boy
must pass three fourths of his
work. Palacios has not lost any
boys so far and only two or three
are on the line and he believes they
will pull through.
The coach complimented his
team on their hustle and desire to
win. Their conditioning is achieved
through discipline and their desire.
Without making any predictions,
Coach said that any team that
happened to be in low spirits or
thinks Palacios a breather could
be in for a surprise.
Coach Newbill said that victory
is not so important as the hustle
and desire shown by the team and
what the boys gain by playing
the game. An important factor in
the game is the support of the
community.
Coach Renfro spoke On his work
with Coach Newbill, and pointed
out that some of his Hornets of
last year are on the first team of
the Newbill brand of ball.
Visitors were V. T. Evans and C.
B. Stuessy of Bay City,- Cecil Ki-
jjard of El Campo, and the two
coaches, Joe Newbill and R. D.
Renfro.

other free exhibits.
The rains this past week were
welcomed and needed, though for
some things the rains might have
arrived too late, too early for oth-
ers, but why complain ? Everything
that happens is for some good,
some where.
Heavy rainfall, rather strong
winds, high tide, rough bay and
rather muddy water, with the Tres-
Palacios river becoming ,fresh to-
ward the last of the week, these
were f/shing conditions here—
along with live bait being very
scarce. However, the bait camps
and fish markets have a good sup-
ply of frozen bait, and some fresh
dead.
# * *
The weather never bothers local
fishermen who know just where
to go under certain conditions.
Waders near Port Alto on Car-
ancahua Bay brought in some good
size speckled trout, around two
and three pounds; rat reds and a
few two to four pound drum. There
were also stringers of school trout
around 12 to 14 inches taken at the
Carancahua river and near Five
Mile Branch.
Redfish, around three pounds,
and several angel fish came in
from the piling at the Army Camp
on Turtle Bay. Angel fish are nev-
er in an abundance, but the partv
who caught these said there must
have been a school of them, as he
had 10, all around three fourths of
a pound each. The fish are edible.
Speckled tcout, from bne to four
rounds were being taken at the
Tres-Palaci'os river, near the
bridge, by Red Bluff, Hay Meadows
and Hog Pen, until fresh water hft.
Drum were plentiful at Cash's
Creek also.
* * *
The Gulf Oil Company will an-
swer all requests for their free
maps of the Gulf Coast fishing
?pots, giving bait camps, locations
for reds, ti'out, flounder, etc. in
the many good fishing sections
along the coast. Just write Gulf Oil
Co. Tout-guide and Fishguide Bu-
reau, P. O. Box 2140, Houston 1,
Texas, and state which area or lo-
cation you woulcl like to have a
map of; such as. Palacios, Rock-
nort. Matagorda, Port Aransas, etc.

Dove season opened October 1
in the south zone, and will continue
through November 17. Shooting

set of each day of the season.
Limits are 10 doves a day, and 10
doves in possession. Shotguns must
be plugged and the law does not
allow shooting doves with rifles.
Doves are reported to be plenti-
ful iti the south zone.
* * *
And then there is the story of the
two inebriated tramps walking
down the railroad tracks. One said
to the other, "These steps are so
close together, it's tiring my legs
to keep going."
His buddy said, "I don't mind
the steps being so close together,
it's these darn hand rails being so
close to the steps that bothers me!"
* * *
Cut Bait: The real proof of
courtesy and restraint is to have
the same ailment the other fellow
is describing, and not mentiQn it.
