Walker Boys Off To Colorado, Nicaragua;
Davy Jones Says Neptune Is In Olcf Ocean
By LANOY GUNN
Advertising Manager
District Clerk J. GRADY WALKER'S two sons stopping
by for quick visits before heading off in different directions.
BILLY left for San Antonio where he joined a group of crop-
dusters flying planes to Nicaragua. They made the trip okay
but took five days doing so—most of the time spent in clear-
ing customs of South American countries. LAURENCE, a
recent graduate of Austin College in Sherman, is now em-
ployed by an electrical logging company in the oil business
and will live in Colorado. . . .
From DAVY JONES locker comes this bit of barn-
acle blarney: Sweeny High's star football player is a lad
by the name of NEPTUNE. Where does he live? Why,
m Old Ocean, of course!

Saint Paul's Men Hosts For Red Fish Fry;
Traylor Of Baylor Makes Earl A Bit Paler
The annual red fish fry sponsor-
ed by the men of Saint Paul's
Methodist Church will be one week
from tonight, November 1, at the
Service Center with serving hours
from 5 to 8 o'clock. Only $1 a plate,
this fish fry is the most economi-
cal way to go fishing—it doesn't
cost as much as a fishing trip and
you're guaranteed to get eome-
thing to eat...
Bay City is well represented in
the way of implement dealers.
Seven different companies are
located here in comparison with
only five in the combined towns
of Alvin and Anjjleton. . .
You can't keep a good man down
department: Recent illnesses forced
some local Bay Citians to lay off
the job for awhile and it's good to
see them back up and at 'em.

We like very much the idea of
MRS. A. ANDERSON of Buckeye
on keeping her grandsons inform-
