TO THE BANDERA FIRE

I wish to say “Tliank you” for
the prompt response to my call

fire.

Fire Chief V. A. Hill reported
that several grass fire runs were
made this past week. One fire
on 32nd Street and one ju|t off
8th Street were speedily ex-
tinguished.
One fire which caused consid-
erable damage and nearly claim-
ed the life of a man enroute to
Houston. Driving on Highway
16, he nearly lost his life when
his car went out of control, hit
an electric; pole, broke it off,
the broken wires causing a fire
which destroyed several ac$Bs of
grass and timber. He escaped
from his car before it rolled into
l
a ravine and exploded.
When the fire alarm was sent
out units from Lakehills, .Bexar
county, Banderai Leon Valley,

purchase of a new 1076 gallon
capacity fire truck. The first
run with th»? new unit was made

by your reporter if the truck was

"Yes, it’s new, it still ‘stinks’
new.”

sible broken leg.

BANDERA IS PI BLICIZED
IN BETTER HOMES
ANI) GARDENS
During the year Bandera is
publicized in many national mag-
Bernie Bratton and Billy, Mr. and azines and papers. In the Aug-
River, 65 miles straight north
from San Antonio, you’ll find th*
President’s LBJ Ranch. If you
head there on a roundabout
northwesterly route, you ey
sample some rugged Texas Hill
Country on a road connecting
Bandera’s dude ranches yith the
big cattle ranches near Kerr-
ville. In the oposite direction,
just across a bridge in Corpus
Christi, stretches Padre Island
National Seashore, Even Mexi-
co is handy—from San Antonio
to Laredo Ion the border it is
barely a three-hour drive.”

Rural Electric People
Serve Their Neighbors
And Like It
That Way...
J\.ural electrics are small in an era of
bigness. They serv6 only about 10 per
cent of the American “people with elec-
tricity.
But bigness is not the same as great-
ness. In their own way, rural electrics
try to achieve a special kind of greatness
. . . the kind that comes from providing
a necessary service, and providing it
continuously, economically, and depend-
ably--but with very little fanfare.
With the help of Rural Electrifica-
tion Administration loans, rural people
created the rural electrics to serve them-
selves and their neighbors, and this is
what they will continue to do.
They like it that way.
