Hijack Attempt
A Failurt
MIAMI. Fla. (AP) - A Delta
.Airlines passenger jet was hi-
jacked at gunpoint on a flight
from Philadelphia to Houston
Friday but it made an emergen-
cy landing in Miami after the
crew talked the gunman, who
said he was dying of cancer,
said he was dying of cancer,
into surrendering his weapon.
Uniformed policemen met the
flight at the Miami airport.
They led off in handcuffs a 6
foot-tall skinny young man who
wore a military brushcut and a
blue suit.
US. Sen. William Eastland,
D-Mtss., was one of the passen-
gers aboard the flight and in-
sisted on being questioned first
by the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation.
Walter Jureski. district direc-
tor of traffic sales for elta,
said a stewardess told him, “As
- she was picking up serving
trays after dinner a passenger
came out of the lavatory brand
ishing a gun.”
“He said, ‘I want into the
cockpit,’ ’’ Jureski quoted the
stewardess as saying
“The sewardess quoted the
hijacker ab)aying he was dying
of cancer,” Jureski said.
He said the pilot. Forest
Dines, based in Chicago, was
head f the crew that disarmed
the man, but Jureski said he did
not know which crewman took
the gun.
He said the plane was about
half way between Baltimore and
Houston when it was hijacked
and “after the passenger was
disarmed th edecision was
made to land at Miami. I dort’t
know why.”
Sen. Eastland said, “The only
thing 1 know is that I heard the
man say to me, ‘I’ll kill you. Get
back. I’m a dying man.’ So I sat
down.”
The airliner was hijacked about
halfway between Philadelphia
and Houston, the crew said.
This would have put the plane
somewhere over Tennessee.

Many relatives and friends
here will be interested to note
that Walter Jureczki, the District
Director of Delta, is a former
Bandera man. He grew up here
and when a youngster worked
for the late J. Marvin Hunter,
Sr., at the Bandera Bulletin.
Tarpley
News
Mrs. John G. James
562-3413
The Tarpley community was
blessed with wonderful rains last
week-end with rainfall amounts
varying from 5 inches to more
than fi inches in most areas of
the comjminity.
Friends in this area learned
with sadness news of the tragic
death of Rev. Jim Bennett of
Telluride, Colorado, who was
crushed to death while, working
under his Scout when one jack
gave away and the others top-
pled causing the vehicle to fall
on him at his home on June 20th.
Help was summoned, but he died
instantly. He and his wife, Lou,
and baby daughter lived at Tarp-
ley from 1953 to 1955 and were
the first family to occupy the
parsonage at the Tarpley Bap-
tist Church which he served as
pastor during that time. They
endeared themselves to the peo-
ple of the community and many
join us in extending sympathy
to his bereaved wife and three
children, ages 14, 7, and 2. Bro.
Bennett was in his middle thir-
ties and was pastor of the Bap-
tist Church at Telluride as well
as doing missionary work in the
area. Friends who wish, may
write to Mrs. Bennett at Box
269, Holdenville, Oklahoma 74848,
where she and her children will
be residing until August 1st.
We also learned with sorrow
of the passing of a beloved lady
of this area, Mrs. Mathilda
Hicks, who passed away at Kerr-
ville following an extended ill-
ness. Funeral services were held
at the Utopia Baptist Church on
June 22 followed by interment at
Gatesville. Mrs. Hicks was truly
a lovely lady and was highly re-
garded by all who knew her.
Survivors include her husband,
Delos Hicks, of Utopia; a step-
son, Leonard Hicks of Utopia;
a step-daughter, Mrs. Coleman
(Ruby) Turner ,of Llano, and
several grandchildren. Mr. Hicks,
who has not been well for some
time, is presently residing with
his daughter and family at
Llano. We extend sympathy to
the family. . ;' ,

children of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Mansfield, have been the guests

factorily, and we join her many

her a speedy and complete recov-
ery.

that!

He May Never
Get to the Crowded City
1 hat’s what all (lie discussion about the crisis in
our cities finally comes down to,. . . whether or not
we revitalize our countryside so that jieople can
live where they want to instead of where they’re
forced to, ,
America's rural electrics lielievc . . . and they're
working to implement that belief with action . . .
that most people want to-enjoy the crisp.dean air.
the blue skies and the while snow of. wintertime in
the country. Most people want their children to
know the joys of a swift sled ride down a snowy slope.
But in the last If) years new machines and methods
increased farm output by 45', and reduced farm
employment by 45',. In the next 15 years, we are
told, the need for farm labor will decline another
45r,. And the rural areas, which depend on the
farms, decline, too.
America’s rural electrics believe our nation's prob-
lems. and those of its cities, can Ik- lietter met by
providing jolis and facilities for the people rather
than moving the people.
Let’s make our open spaces not only a good place
for a sled ride. Id's make them a lietter place to
live and work.

A group gathered Saturday
night at the Pipe Creek Com-
munity Center to discuss plans
for the Pipe Creek Home Coming.
The Sixth Annual Pipe Creek

day, August 4, at the Pipe Creek
Community Center. This annual
affair is for all who live at Pipe
Creek, the ones who have lived
there in the past, and for those
who have any plans to move there
in the future. It is also for all
the surrounding communities.
As in the past the men of the
community will furnish the bar-
becue. People are to bring food
to go with this. The committee
needs a few head of sheep or
goats for the barbecue. Anyone
wishing to donate one may get
in touch with either Cotton Fitz-
gerald, Jack McKandles, Jerome

This is also a reminder that the
committee will not he responsible
for plates, knives, forks, etc.
Each family (« to bring enough
for their own. Anyone having
any tables, chairs, etc, are ask-
ed to bring the n.
The committee wishes to thank
everyone for their cooperation
and hope to have the same con-
tinued support in the future.
This is what makes the Home
Coming a success every year.

WILDLIFE BOARD SFTS
HUNTING RULES; DF.FR
SEASON NOVEMBER 9
Austin.—The Texas Parks and
Wildlife Commission announced
today new hunting regulations,
including a November 9 opening
date for deer season in most of
the stute.
For most of the state, the deer
limit was set at three, with not
more than two bucks.
At its annual statewide hear-
ing on hunting and fishing reg-
ulations, the hoard Wednesday
put a small sliver of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley off limits to
white-winged and mourning dove
hunters during the four-day
white-wing season in early Sep-
tember.
The no-hunting zone will be
south and west of a line extend-
ing along U.S. 83 from the Starr-
Zapata County line to Mission,
and from Mission, via Farm 1016
and Farm 1926, to the northern
city limits of Hidalgo on the
border with Mexico.
In setting the new hunting
seasons and rules the commission
accepted all the recommenda-
tions made by its staff at Wed-
nesday's day-long hearing.
In 17 counties the new regula-
tions don’t take.effect until ap-
proved by county commissioners
courts. The counties are Ban-
dera, Polk, Crockett, Edwards,
Hays, Kerr, Kendall, Kimble,
Kinney, Lampasas, Medina, Me-
nard, Reagan. Real, Schleicher,
Sutton and Val Verde.
The November 9 deer season
opening, two days earlier than
last year, affects the heavily
deer-populated Edwards Plateau.
The earlier date was established
because the second Saturday in
November—the traditional open-
er—falls on November 9. Next
year it will he November 8, and
then will fall later in 1910.
An experimental deer season
one week longer than that in
the rest of the state, November
9-January 7, was set for Frio
County (Pearsall). It is the
seco'nd year for such a season.

II WILTONS
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Hamilton

fine, little baby son born in Sid
Peterson Memorial Ifospital in

Rosquist. Also welcoming the
little man are other grandpar-
ents, Mr. and Mrs'. A. D. Strick-
land, Mrs. Nina Belle Lavender;
and great-grandparents, Mr. and

WITNESSES RETURN HOME
Local Jehovah’s Witnesses re-
turned home this week after a
four-day stay in San Angelo,
Texas, attending the “Good News
for All Nations” District Assem-
bly sponsored hy the Watchtower
Bible and Tract Society.
Jack D .Pearson, persiding
minister, reports that 5,011 per-
sons packed the Coliseum Sunday
to hear L. M. Dugan, of New
York, deliver the stirring dis-
course “Man's Rule About to
Give Way to God's Rule.”
Dugan told the crowd Sunday:
“Viewed from the standpoint of
the world situation today, it is
becoming undeniably plain that
man is unable to rule himself."
Dugan brought out, "In spite
of human rulers and their politi-
cal supporters who feel that
man’s rule absolutely has to be
carried forwnrd in order to avoid
world disaster. God, as precise
Timekeeper, will follow His own
time clock and at the exact time
He will restore theocracy, God’s
rule, to this planet, over all the
earth. His time is near, which
is why man’s rule is about to
give way to God's rule.”
Refreshed by the scriptural
information received during the
four-day program, the local Wit-
nesses are better equipped to
meet the needs of interested ones
locally1. Pearson said all regular
meetings at the local Kindom
Hall will resume this week.
