owner of the store.
The contest winner will be
awarded a Thermo-Jac Outfit and
will appear in one of the store’s
coming fashion shows, she said.
First runner-up will receive a
Thermo-Jac Blouse!
“The wholesome attractiveness
of the typical American teenage
girl which any father would be
proud to have as his daughter”,
will be the main basis for the se-
lection of “Miss Thermo-Jac”,
Mrs. Williamson pointed out, but
personality and activities will also
count.
To enter the contest, she said,
teenage girls need only to come
to the store next Saturday for an
identification pihoto and interview.
Selection of Henderson’s “Miss
Thermo-Jac” will be made by an
impartial, outside representative
of the Thermo-Jac Sportswear
Company, Mrs. Williamson stated.

mo-Jac outfit in Henderson’s for

Evelina Abrigo
Receives Cap
At Ceremony
Refugio.—Miss Evelina Abrigo
has completed her training at Del
Mar Vocational Nurses School in
Corpus Christi and was capped
and pinned in special capping
ceremonies there Thursday, Sep-
tember 3.
In her class of 40, Miss Abrigo
was one of 12 who received spe-
cial recognition for not having
missed a day of training. She is
a 1964 graduate of Refugio High
School. Miss Abrigo has been em-
ployed by Spohn Hospital in Cor-
pus Christi.
Victoria.—“Cotton acreage does
not die,” stated Robert Heard of
Victoria to a meeting of Austin
County cotton producers last
week. “Unless producers release
or replant their cotton acreage,
this acreage goes to other parts
of the state, and even out of
state,” he explained.
Heard is executive director of
the South Texas Cotton Improve-
ment Association and the newest
member of the President’s Cotton
Advisory Board.
The protection of history acres
and the obtaining of new acreage
from those counties in East Texas
releasing their acreage were the
purposes of the ST/CIA’s organi-
zation last year, he told the pro-
ducers. The organization has 3,-
500 members in twenty coastal
counties. v
“The ST/CIA played an active
part in the re-apportionment pro-
gram this spring by acting as a
spokesman for South Texas pro-
ducers before the state commit-
tee,” Heard said. He warned the
group that failure of South Texas
producers to release unused acre-
age or to replant could mean a
possible loss of acreage.
‘Some producers think that if
they don’t release or replant that
the acreage will just die. Cotton
acreage does not die. If you don’t
use it in a South Zone County,
some other county in Texas, or
even New Mexico or California,
will be given that acreage.”
Heard also praised the quality
of South Texas cotton. “Only one
out of every six bales of cotton
produced in South Texas goes in-
to government warehouses,” he
said. “Experts tell us that our
long staple cotton is the best in
the world, but that we don’t brag
about it enough to the textile buy-
ers.” He went on to explain that
one of the ST/CIA programs is
to promote South Texas cotton to
these textile buyers through an
advertising and public relations
program,. “South Texas produc-
ers have more natural advantages
than you can count on your fing-
ers, but they have sat back while
other cotton producing areas in
Scout Round-Up
Program Slated
For September 17
Sinton.—The annual fall “Round-
Up” program of the Mustang Scout
District will be kicked off at the
regular monthly roundtable meet-
ings of the adult leaders Thurs-
day, September 17, at 7:30 p.m.,
at the San Patricio Electric Co-
Op Building in Sinton, it was an-
nounced today by L. J. Luedke,
district commissioner.
All adult leaders in the district
are encouraged to attend and re-
ceive all of the round up material
as well as details of the fall pro-
gram.
The Cub leaders will be led by
Alton Luedke, Sinton, while T. L.
Huffstutler, Mathis, will direct the
Scoutmasters session.
The Explorer leaders of the dis-
trict will meet under the leader-
ship of J. W. Fraser and Bill
Carper, both of Sinton. Accomp-
anying the adult leaders in their
meeting will be the two elected
post representatives from each
Explorer Post in the District.
A portion of their meeting will
be spent in the planning of a dis-
trict-wide explorer event to hap-
pen this fall.
Luedke added that it is expect-
ed that the leaders of the units
in the district will pledge to re-
cruit about 400 new boys in. the
scouting program this fall as a re-
sult of the fall round up program.
Texas, with fewer selling points
but more organization, have cap-
tured a part of the market with
a poorer quality cotton.”
He explained that a producer
becomes a member of the ST/CIA
by contributing 25 cents per bale
to the organization through deduc-
tions by his ginner or direct pay-
ment to the Association.
