the lap of approximately 40 to 50
parents a* a community meeting.

He said he polled some 100 par-

long Robichaux said, “I think
they (Baptists) who oppose it
should work; out a program for
their children without any objec-
tionable activity. It’s better to
have teenagers chaperoned in a
given activity than to have them
roaming over the highways in hot-
lods, playing pool, or necking in
a lonely area.”
High praise of a recreation pro-
gram sponsored by Mr. and Mrs.
Floyd Kimbajl at the Vinton
American Legion Hall came from
Robichgux. He said dancing is
sponsored there under supervision

“When they arrive they sign

said.
The father of five children in
ages frorr. ? to 14, Robichaux
said, he planned to do something
about it for his kids anyway. This
summer, in June or July, he plans
to build a recreation room on to
his house of 500 square feet. But
he’ll build it himself and that
will take two or three months
spare time.
“Then I’ll have my children
form some sort of club and invite
their friends in,” he said.

to do nqthing to date on plans
but hoped to call another meet-

of his pickup truck. The boys
were crossing the thoroughfare
for a visit with their grandmother,
Mrs. Margaret Hayes.
The younger boy had paused
behind Herman Stanley and
avoided being struck by the auto-
mobile which reportedly was
driven by William Theodore Bass,
33. of 8437 Lockheed St., Houston.
Bass told officers he did not see
the child in time to avoid the ac-
cident. Investigating the accident
were Highway Patrolmen D. E.
Wood and B. E. Manning.
The child was a third grade
student at Vidor School and a
member of the Latter Day Saints.
A native of Beaumont, he had
lived most of his life in Vidor.
Survivors other than the par-
ents, brother and grandmother are
a sister, Sandra, and another
brother, Everett Latham, of Vidor;
grandfather, Ellis Hayes of Eva-
dale, and grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert Toler of Leola, Ark.
The child's death was thq, third

Opal's Texas
Owner Tagged
NEW YORK (AP)—An animal
trainer from the wide open spaces
of Texas was tagged with a ticket
when he took his two-ton pet ele-
phant for a stroll on a crowded
Manhattan street.
“Would you walk this elephant
on the sidewalk of your home
town?” asked Patrolman Samuel
Sapan.
“Sure,” said Mack McDonald o(
Harlingen, Tex.
“Well,” said Sapan, “this is the
big league. Elephants and pedes-
trians don’t mix in this town.”
MacDonald, 55, and his 6-year-
old elephant Opal were taking a
turn on 53rd street between Broad-
way and 8th Avenue.
Here for a TV show, MacDonald
faces an appearance in Lower
Manhattan Magistrate’s Court next
Friday on a charge of obstructing
a public sidewalk.
