Do you know for instance,
how many barrels of oil were
produced daily in DeWitt
county during the year 1953.
According to the Railroad
Commission, DeWitt produc-
ed 8,224 barrels every day
during the year.
Victoria county was the
only county in this immediate
area to exceed DeWitt pro-
duction, Victoria producing
22,180 barrels daily. Bee coun-
ty was just behind DeWitt
with 7,261. Gonzales county
produced but 56 barrels daily

We don’t think we have
done half as much as count-
less Scouters in this city

making a modest contribution

We pledge our continued
support to Scouting at all
times.

We read a highly interesting
article a few days ago which
we think might be of interest
to every parent, every teach-
er in Cuero.
The article was relative to
the disciplining of children,
and was prepared by Dave
Koretz under the title, “Five
Laws of Casual Response.”
We submit it for your study:
Law of General Futility of
Extrinsic Reward.
Children will not be moti-
vated to perform a task for
any great length of time by an j
extrinsic reward; extrinsic re- |
ward is more likely to result In
extrinsic methods of obtain-
ing that reward (Extrinsic re-
ward is reward other than
the pleasure of performing
the task, or pleasure in hav-
ing the task completed.)
Law of Positive and Nega-
tive Motivation.
Children will not be motiv-
ated to any great extent to
perform a task conscientious-
ly because of a fear of punish-
ment; punishment should be
used only to deter the child

through the night pumping water
from skyscraper basements and
mayors of outlying cities called
for aid to fight the threat of ris-

MIAMI, Oct. 12 (UP)—The Navy
ordered nearly 1,000 women and
children into hurricane shelters at
its huge base on Cuba's Guanta-
namo Bay Tuesday and sent its
surface vessels scurrying to sea to
escape the oncoming fury of Hur-
ricane Hazel.
The first light sprinkle of rain
began falling on the base, a warn-
ing of the 115-mile-an-hour wind*
expected later.
Since midnight, Hazel has been
churning up windward passage,
the straits between Haiti and
Cuba.
Cuba's first hurricane death was
reported from Santiago on the
extreme eastward tip of the island.
An unidentified fisherman was
washed to his death while trying
to fasten down two small boats.'
Heavy seas lashed the town.

storm season, passed 110 miles to

No reports were received from
