Spanish Classes
End for Adults
RfX’kdalc’s summer adult Span-
ish class has just closed a success-
ful term, according to Don Whit-
more, instructor.
The members met together ap-
proximately 36 hours and worked
on conversational patterns in
Spanish. The instructor said the
group learned phrases that will
help them in their local contacts
and in trips south of the border
Recordings of native speakers
won- used to help the class in
pronunciation and tape recordings
were made to show the progress
being made.
Whitmore, using the Spanish
equivalents, listed the names of
his students as follows: Carlos
Brockman, Pancho and D<-”otea
Hyder, Alicia Currey, Federico
Crick, Maria McDaniel, Pilar
Rinn, Juan and Patricia Hillegcist.
Tonight the students and mem-
bers of their families are gather-
ing at a Mexican restaurant in
Austin for their final examina-
tion. Whitmore said they would
all be required to order their
meals and talk only in Spanish.
"This way,” he explained, "each
person will test and grade him-
self since no credit is given for
the course."

By VERN SANFORD
Texas Press Association
Your local newspaper, a flip of
the radio dial, or a call to the
local weather station may be suf-
ficient to get weather conditions
j of a local nature.
But in this day of modern
travel, when outboarders thipk
I nothing of traileririg their rigs
I 300 or 400 miles lor a weekend on.
' a major lake or the Gulf Coast,
j one needs more than just local
I pi cuicttulia.
Weather conditions at home and
300 miles away can be quite the
opposite on any given day.
The wise outboarder will plan
for his weekend by reading the
signs, properly using the baro-
meter, and by learning to visualize
water conditions in terms of wind
velocity.
Suppose an outboarder in Dal-
las decides to weekend at Port
Aransas He can get an idea of
the weather for the weekend by
getting a barometric reading and
tendency, wind vi lot its and cloud
conditions. But he should obtain
that information from the place
where he plans to fish, not his
point of departure.
When you purchase a barome-
ter, you’ll get a chart with it. Use
it—don’t put the chart in f'le 13.
You can also obtain from the
United States Weather Bureau a
barometer-wind chart that is
quite accurate in the lorecasting ]
of weather. Finally, learn to
visualize water conditions in re-
lation to wind speed.
A 25-mile-pcr-honr wind may
sound slow in this jet speorl age,
but it can make open water much
too rough for the average size out-
board rig
Now getting back to the baro-
meter and wind, there are some
broad and general rules that will
hold true. Here are some of the
main ones: j
1. A wind out of the easterly
quadrant coupled with a falling
barometer means foul weather is
approaching
2 A wind shift to the westward
accomplished by a rising baio-
meter means fair weather.
3 A steady, slowly rising baro-
meter means settled weather.
4 A «ncady, slowly falling baro-
meter means wet or unsettled
weather.
5. A rapidly rising barometer
indicates clear weather with wind.
6 A rapidly falling barometer
means an approaching storm.
An outboarder. minus a baro-
meter isn’t a lost soul He can
look to the skies and the clouds
lor general weather hints. Here
are a few of the more easily reco-
gnized ones:
Bright blue sky: lair weather.
Vivid red sunset: fair tomor-
row’.
Vivid red sunrise: likely foul
weather later in 111* ■ day.
Cloudless sunset.: fair tomor-
row.
Dully gray sunset: foul tomor-
row.
Weak sun: probable rain,
especially il wind is out of the
east.
Moon with halo: approaching
foul weather.
Diffused sunset: approaching
foul weather.
Sunrise from gray horizon:
lair today.
Cirrostratus clouds: rain.
Fleecy, light-textured clouds:
lair.
Dark, oily clouds: rain.
High and low clouds traveling
in opposite direetiions: unsettled
weather.
An outboarder who plans to
navigate open waters never should
pass a Coast Guard station with-
out casting a glance at the Hag
signals.
Several years ago official
storm warning flags and lights
were reduced in number—and
simplified—to cover the following j
types of warnings: small craft,
gale, whole gale and hurricane.
The day flag signals are as fol- |
lows.
Small craft: red pennant.
Gale: two red pennants.
Whole gale: red flag with black
rectangle in center.
Hurricane: same as whole gale
but with two red flags flying.
Light signals used at night are
as follows:
Small craft: red light above
white light.
i i . i,i. i '
udiL. wmii; ia*iil uuuvc ivu
light.
Whole gale: two red lights, one
above the other.
Yezak Now Oldest
Member of House
Austin—New dean of the Texas'
house of representatives, in length j
of service, is representative Her-
man Yezak of Milam and Burle-
son counties, 48-ycar old lawyer
who is serving in his ninth straight
legislative session.
Yezak succeeds the late repre- I
sentative Marshall Bell of San An-
tonio, who was serving in his
tenth straight legislature.
Yezak began his legislative
service with the 49th legislature
in 1945 and has been re-clccted
every time since then He was
first elected in 1944 while over-
seas in Italy during World Mar II.
Representative W. W. Glass of
Jacksonville is serving Ins seventh
session. He came to the legislature
for the 43rd legislature but has
a broken record of continuous
service.
Other representatives serving
their seventh session are Will
Smith of Beaumont; Menton Mur-
ray of Harlingen: and Grainger
Mcllhanv of Wheeler.
Hurricane: three lights read-
ing from top to bottom—red
white, red.
Most outboarders realize that
gait s, whole gules and hurricanes
mean absolutely no boating. But
many are in the dark about the
meaning of small cruft warnings.
"Small cruft generally refers to
cralts up to 35 or 4<i feet. A small
cralt warning quite obviously
means for the outboarder to stay
at home.
trip, be sure to check the weather
signs at the* lakeside or Gulf Coast
resort. The price of the long dis-
tance phone call might save you
the cost of being holed up in a
moU 1 for several days because of
the weather. Motel rate, are 'ar
more expensive than phone calls.
Today's competent outboarder
is a man who knows more than
the rules of the road and water
safety. He also knows the weath-
er and how to use it to his ad-
vantage.
