TOWN’S DRAINAGE—Was over
worked Monday as 5.67 inches
fell in less than eight hours. The
new system, just completed, roared
and gurgled and by noon water was
still standing on parts of Lucas
street. Main street would have
made a nice fishing stream. As one
local soul put it, “$30,000 worth of
drainage that didn’t go down the
drain.”

THANKS TO—J. L. Koerber who
called at an early hour Mon-
day and reminded this writer that
the Chamber of Commerce windows
were open. No damage done but we
now ba,re a elpan floor.

CAFEMAN—Irvin Petersen want-
ed a ‘scoop’ this week and tipped
us off on a big wreck at the air-
port. Checked with Mr. Walker and
he gave the results as follows, “one
busted ‘baby-walker’ broken in the
process of being sat on.” Big story,
Irvin.

GOLF GAB—Wish to report a big
accident Sunday morning. Glenn
Dale Claybourn lays driver too close
to ball and chops off piece of wood
in process of hitting ball with
another club. Bub Lawson was al-
most as bad as Lewis on Number 7.
Take a saw with you next time
Bub. And “Sharkey” Shelton, an
educated man, can’t even keep his
own score and John Pennington
can’t keep track of his golf balls.
Pass the stupid pill, Glenn Dale.

Its going to be quiet at the Mad-
dox paint shop next week as Rufus
Adams takes an extended vacation.
During his week off he will visit
his home at Kosse in 'East Texas.
Ah, no pounding and loud noise
from next door for a week.

ANOTHER APPROACH—By car
this time was the means of travel
for Captain David Ford and family
as they visited with the George
Harrison family Tuesday. Captain
Ford can be remembered as the jet

in a crash at the airport. Ilis broken
elbow was reported mending but
still stiff. Captain Ford, along with
his wife and daughter Susan, are
touring Texas while on leave.

^CAPITOL
By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN. Tex.—Federal officials
are taking action on emergency
drouth relief for Texas as requested
by Governor Allan Shivers.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
Benson conferred with the gover-
nor and toured drouth areas from'
Lubbock to San Antonio.
More than half of Texas has been
labeled a disaster area bythe South-
west’s soil conservation chief at
Fort Worth.
President Eisenhower had pre-
viously notified Shivers that the
Federal Civil Defense Administra-
tion and the Department of Agri-
culture had been put to work on the
drouth disaster problem.
“The western half of the state is
now in the fourth year of drouth.
Conditions continue to grow worse,”
the governor reported. He asked for
“credit extension and other relief”
for farmers and ranchers.
— tpa —
The governor said that reports
indicate at least 128 counties
seriously affected. A survey among
livestock producers showed a grow-
ing sentiment that goverment aid,
either by purchase of cattle or the
sale of feed at disaster prices, may
be necessary to prevent wholesale
bankruptcy.
Republican Committeeman Jack
Porter of Houston and other state
leaders urged maximum federal as-
sistance.
— tpa —
Farmer and rancher groups from
various counties discussed the o-
mergency with Secretary Benson,
wfro was in Lubbock to speak before
the American Cotton Congress.
Among other things, Benson dis-
cussed ways of preventing dump-
ing of beef cattle on markets from
the Southwest.
— tpa —
Texas Commissioner of Agricul-
ture John C. White says that the
three-way squeeze of continued
disastrous drouth, falling prices
and rising costs has made the farm
outlook this year “grim.” He urgctfl
farmers to tighten their economic
belts in order to get through this
year. 1
The outlook for the cotton crop
is about 3,808,000 bales, White said,
or half of the potential of an
average year. A wheat crop of 20
million bushels is expected in placv.
of a normal yield of 60 million
bushels.
— tpa —
A fund is already available to
drouth-hit farmers and ranchers,
according to the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The federal loan
aid which they’ve been receiving
for the last year is still available
for seed, feed, fuel groceries and
other operating expenses.
• — tpa —
A few solutions to water short-
ages have been offered by State
Health Officer George W. Cox. He
says that if the state had built
reserviors on Texas streams we
wouldn’t have a water problem.
“More than 85 perepnt of our
storm waters reach the sea,” he
said. “That means that only 15 per-
cent is soaked up by our parched
earth.”
There is no reason, Cox said, why
these waters cannot be captured
and transported to areas of scar-
city.

The heat wave spread to Texas
politics. Two Democratic Party or-
! ganizations were getting steamed
up over a complete break between
national-and state party machinery.
And the beefed-up Republican Par-

Dr. A. 0. Webb Of Bay City Elecied
New President Of Encampment
Dr. A. O. Webb, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of Bay City,
has been elected president of the
district Baptist Assembly which
ends hpre tomorrow, (Friday.)
The Texas Baptist Encampment,
which has drawn over 2500 Baptist
in its present session, added 17
members to the board of trustees.
Dr. Webb succeeds D. K. Harrell,
By NEY OLDHAM. JR.
And now, due to the recent “Tex-
as Dew,” you’re going to get anoth-
er shot at all the trout and red-fish
that went up the rivers and creeks.
The fresh-water will flush them
down to the mouths of the bays and
as the water gets salty again,
they’ll come back by. This makes
three times all you lucky anglers
will get a try at them this year!
W. R. Hasley and Bennie Elliott
picked up 19 trout at Wells Point
Sunday morning.
J. T. and Arthur Tucker, father
and son combination, caught 41 big
trout on Turtle Point on Sunday,
young Arthur runriing his Dad a
fast race with 19 out of the 41 and
including one four pounder and two
three lb. trout.
“Smilty” Smith showed me the
pretfiest string of trout I’ve seen
all year Sunday morning. He had
seven head that dressed 24 pounds.
They came from Turtle Bay. Then
he and Bolen picked up 23 on Sisco
Flats including one 3(4 pounder on
Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Tom Slone, Mr. and Mrs.
Buddy Lowak, and Mrs. Frank Buf-
faloe and Sells Buffaloe caught 45
trout at Wells Point on Saturday.
Mrs. C. B. Padgett and “Sonny”
Padgett scored with 14 trout off
Grassy Point on Monday afternoon.
The old Houston Club still pays
off—for instance, on Friday, Robt.
Abraham took nine trout there; J
G. Smith took 15; Bolen took 35;
Sisco took 1.
On Saturday, J. G. Smith, A. N.
Evans Jr., and A. F. Stancik of
Columbus picked up a total of 82
trout there.
On Sunday, Ernest Sarpa, Mr.
and Mrs Bill Hunt, Dee Trees and
Sells Buffaloe caught 112 trout
there. Then Sunday afternoon John
Harper, Willie and Andrew Lewis
took four four-pound trout there.
And here's a small boy with a big
fish—Rodney Friery of Houston,
Texas, caught a 4(4 pound red-fish
at Five Mile Branch on Thursday.
Mrs. J. A. Blaeker caught two
reds of about 6 pounds each and
Mr. Biaeker took 14 trout out near
Schicke’s Point on Friday.
A. S. Hill of Waco has been do-
ing right well with 41 trout on
Wednesday; 26 on Thursday; 33 on
Friday and 33 on Saturday—all
taken in East Bay.
Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Hope and
niece, Judy took 14 trout Thursday
and 25 on Friday on the Spoil
Banks. Those on Friday averaged
around 1(4 lbs. each.
Doggone, old Smilty got revenge
by beating me 12 to 7 in a trout
contest orv, Thursday at Salt Lake.
Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sailor caught
26 big trout Saturday morning on
the Spoil Banks. Mr. Sailor counted
up his week’s catch and it totaled
167 “keeper and better” trout. He
is using a different technique and
it’s paying off in big old yellow-
mouths. Instead of fishing the top
with live shrimp, he’s fishing near
the bottom. I guess the extremely
hot weather has been keeping ‘em
deep ‘cause that’s where the big
ones are coming from now, any-
how.
Lawrence Arnold and Mr. Beavers
picked up 25 trout, one of which
went four pounds in Turtle Bay
Wednesday in the morning. On
Wednesday afternoon, Lawrence
caught 12 reds for u total dressed
weight of 30 lbs. but Robert Koch

Tax Valuations
Expected To Rise
By iiimm
(From The Bay City News)
Matagorda County tax valuations
are expected to increase this year
by $2-3,000,000 over the 1952
figure of $37,749,480.
Tax Assessor-Collector Jim Sel-
kirk said he is hopeful the increase
will be near the $3,000,000 mark.
Another facet of the county tax
picture will be brought in focus
Monday and Tuesday when Mata-
gorda County commissioners, sit-
ting as a tax equalization board,
will hold local hearings.
The commissioners last week
completed their inspection of the
tax rolls, citing those whose rendi-
tions appear out of line to come be-
fore them for a hearing.
Oil hearings are set for July 10,
County Auditor Luther Robertson,
said.
Of the expected increasey oil will
account for the major portion. Mr.
Selkirk said that he expects oil
valuations to increase between
$1-2,000,000 over the present figure.
New housing, more new automo-
biles, and added miscellaneous per-
sonal property is expected to ac-
count for the rest of the looked-for
increase.
