TOWN TALK:
Trowell Joins Tribute
To Famous County Judge
i
n* ed A.\nr.n»<>\
nnrnr jnx.r (front# Tro-
wel) )s hick tn Cuero after «t-
tcnd.ns a dirtrii t conference <vf
#ounv judge* and rommiison-
#r* at Corpus Chris tl. In that
«ity the judge* and commission
*m j>aaMc! a resolution recog-
nizmg the almost half a cen-
tury of service as a county iud
t» at Brownsville of that city’*
beloved Judge Oscar C. Dane*
This is particularly mortng
to u>t because for more than 14
years we knew Ute M-iearwild
Judge Dancy and read only to-
day that he is leasing Brown-
sville to enter a veterans hospi-
tal in Houston after suffering s
relapee from an Apr.) attack of
tnfhieroM
Judge Dancy was nationally
kno.vn because he had served
as a count: judge longer than
any other in American history
Campaign after campaign he
always "ran scared", but he
always beat his opponent* hands
down. tVe used tn say:
Judge, you have all the ad-
vantage. If a rounger man beat*
,vou, he ought to he ash-
amed. And if you beat him, he
ought to be still ashamed lor
having run against you in the
first place ”
like our own father. Judge
Dancv was s veteran of the
Spanish-American war. H l.s
middle Initial is "C" and lie was
nick-named “Concrete" be-
cause he was responsible for
building more road* in Camer-
on county than any other man.
Although he was opposed and
was treated mercilessly in the
lloile* press in the Valley he
i* responsible more than a n v
other man for the construction
of the Isabel Causeway t o
Soirtb Padre Island from Port.
Isabel This island was oh re
only a stretch of empty sand
dunes, but. is notv a growing
sea. resort with motels and res-
taurants and mobile homes
The venerable judge always
had a lineup at his office of
Mexican indigent* in Browns-
ville, None were ever turned
down, even though the help
frequently came from hw own
pocket. He was a "touch”. it
was well known, lor every
“hard luck" story,
He was always againrt a sal-
ary raise for himself and all
hi* !;fe lived most modestly-
Folks kive him in Brownsville
and they shoved their affection
and bchef in his honesty and
integrity by electing him year
after year to. that office — 21
ir i ms a if fold
"I II be back bv November
15." the judge said before he
left for Houston "I don't want
to retire until f am 90. I in-
tend to make my 22nd race."
We hope so and Judge Trowel!
of Cuero who has known the
judge for many years also hop-
es so he told u* yesteroay.
