During the past week trucks from
the AAF Navigation School have
collected approximately 23 tons of
scrap metal from Medina and Uvalde
counties, according to reports from
Lt. Donald F. Halfpenny, salvage of- j Mexico; ISfrs. Hume, Mr. Ed Ritchie,
was edged with a border of illusion,
and the sleeves were long and point-
ed over her wrists. The dropped
shoulder yoke of the gown was
fashioned of imported Alencon lace
which extended to a point in the
back. The full skirt was gathered
onto the tight-fitting basque and fell
into a long oval train. She wore a
short face-veil and a veil of ivory
bridal illusion which was gathered to
a Juliet cap of seed pearls and fell to
the end of her train. Her bouquet
was of white roses and lilies of the
valley. She wore a strand of pearlsj
a gift of her parents.
Lieutenant A. J. Avery of Ran*
dolph Field was the best man and the
ushers were Albert and Arthur
Lacy, twin brothers of the bride.
Miss Mary Louise Haegelin had
charge of the bride’s book.
At the reception following the
ceremony, the bride's table in tha
dining room was laid with a Venetian
lace doth and centered with a silver
bowl of white flowers and gleaming
white tapers in crystal holders. At
one end of the board was the satin-t
iced, tiered wedding cuke, adorned
with sugar-spun lilies of the valley
and white roses, und set in maline;
After the bride cut the first slice*
the cake was served by Miss Mary
Ann Noonan and the punch by Mi»4
Mary Louise Haegelin. Assisting in
the dining room were Mrs. Thos. B.
Knopp and Mrs. R. J. Reily,
Mrs. Lacy wore a reception gown
of grey chiffon, fashioned with a Vs
neckline, short sleeves, and a full
graceful skirt. Her accessories were
gold and she wore a corsage of
Peiuvian lilies. The bridegroom’s
mother was dressed in a dinner gown
of sky blue crepe, fashioned with a)
V-neckline, bracelet length sleeves*
and a full skirt. Her flowers were
sweetheart roses and blue delphini-
um.
For traveling, the bride wore a
black wool suit with caracul trim
and a black felt pompadour haQ
black accessories, white gloves, and a
corsage of white gardenias. After
the wedding trip to Mexico City,
Mexico, the couple will be at home
on the Hacienda la Gorriona, near
Musquiz, Conhuilla, Mexico.
The bride graduated from the
Hondo High School and attended the
University of Texas, where she was
a member of the Alpha Phi Sororityi
the Orange Jackets, and the Alpha
Lamba Delta, honorary society. Shq
was a Blue Bonnet Belle nominee
and she held the offices of president!
of the Bit and Spur Riding Club and
secretary of the Y. W. C. A.

Henry raises tomatoes. He
raises good one:—has about a
half acre of them. All the broad-
casts of the Govt, for months
past have said. “Everybody
raise tomatoes.” Henry did so.
Henry took a coupla lugs to
his grocer. Grand tomatoes,
the fellows said. Do you have
stamps on ’em. he says. What
stamps are you talking about,
says Henry—I am not putting
’em in the mail box. Pro-rate
stamps, the grocer says. I don’t
savvy, says Henry, why I have
to have stamps—I pick ’em and
bring ’em to you—it is no ex-
pense to the Govt. I don’t
know, said the grocer, but I
would be in jail by sundown, he
says, if I tried to sell these to-
matoes without a stamp on the
box. Henry is in a quandary
—also he is fighting mad. To
hunt up the stamp man, he has
to use more tires and gas than
he will get from his 2 boxes of
tomatoes. Henry will soon be
needing a stenographer and a
bookkeeper. He already needs
a piece of ice for his brow. He
is snarled in red tape. If folks
want tomatoes, he says, but not
nt caviar prices, they gotta do
something about it—he is at
the end of his rope.

When population becomes as con-
gested as it is in Hondo, the disposal
! of waste becomes a serious problem.
1 Careless handling of refuse be-
j comes a serious menace to both the
health of the people and the safety
their property from fire, to say
nothing of the civic attractiveness
of the community.
If, therefore, civic pride does not
prompt a scrupulous observance of
cleanliness, safety to person and
property should; and laws and law-
enforcement officers ought not to
be necessary to protect people from
themselves in an intelligent commun-
! ity.
j That thin respect for cleanliness
; and ordiliness in the disposal of re-
fuse and waste does not exist to the
degree it should in some has been
recognized and admitted by the City
Council of Hondo in their adoption
of City Ordinance No. 11 from which
we quote:
Section 1. It shall be unlawful
for any person to throw, to leave, or
cause to leave, or place, or cause ta
be placed, any trash, rubbish, paper,
sweepings, cans, glass, fluid, water,
or any material or thing in a street,
