If the Park Commissioner
and City council can sec fit
to close Cuero Park Lake to
-motor boats during the
months of March and April,
the spot can be developed
into one of the test fishing
lakes in this area.
Large four and five pound
bass are now spawning, or
soon will be spawning.
Several of the big fellows
taken from the lake Satur-
day were loaded with eggs.
We feel sure boat owners
will be willing to forego
their pleasure for a short
period of two months in or-
der to assure good angling
for Cuero youngsters in the
days to come.
We would like to hear
from the Park Commission-
er on this matter.

Cuero lions will .Jon be
knocking at your door as
they stage their annual mop
and broom sales for the ben-
efit of the Houston Light-
house for the Blind.
This is a worth while pro- |
]ect and one worthy of sup- i
port. j
A .down-town canvass is to j
be followed by a house-to-j
house canvass, so keep a(
lookout for Lions on March
13th.

pencil shaped miaaile and
hanked away sharply as
though no longer interested
In the affair.
There was a brief streak of
fire and smoke as the mis-
sile left the plane and spear-
ed like a javelin at the
fleeing drone.
Red Plane Blotted Out —
It moved so fast it literal-
ly vanished. Only a small
ball of orange fir# and an
obscene wavering shriek
marked it's pass.ng
In two blinks of an eye the
ball of fire caught up with the
obsolete fighter. The red
plane was blotted out for a
second in a puff of white
smoke. There was an explos-
ion like a aonic boom. Then,
so broken and gutted it seas
hardly recognizable, the plana
fluttered to the earth in a
flat spin and struck the de-
sert with a black-and-orange
explosion.
Some 200 newsmen and tel-
evision cameramen assemb-

stration of the Sidewinder,
ihe Navy's newest and most
deadly air-to-air guided mis-
sile. were almost too stun-
ned to applaud.
