School Cafeteria
Prices Are Raised
New Wage Law Forces Increase;
Contract For Supl. Holst Extended
A rather long agenda faced the
Board of Trustees of the Palacios
Independent School District as they
met in regular session at the school
administrative office last Thursday
night.
One of the most pressing prob-
lems facing the Board was a report
showing a school cafeteria opera-
tion loss for the first four months
“Your Schools” would like to
suggest that every citizen within
the boundaries of the Palacios In-
dependent School District register
to vote during 1965). It is a very
simple procedure. You can register
to vote at the City Hall in Palacios,
the Matagorda County Tax Asses-
sor-Collector’s office in the Court-
house in Bay City or Edna, or mail
your “Application For Voter Regis-
tration Certificate” to the Tax As-
sessor-Collector’s office.
You, the patron of our Palacios
Schools, owe it to the school child-
ren of our district to be able to
vote. We all know that strength
comes in numbers. If we want our
elected officials to listen to us and
vote our beliefs and convictions on
the many issues that concern
“Your Schools” we must be regis-
tered voters. It’s a proven fact that
every office holder and office seek-
er knows how many votes are reg-
istered in each precinct, school dis-
trict, and county. If you aren't reg-
istered to vote it just stands to
reason that what you have to say
will be taken vevry lightly. If you
are registered to vote you are im-
portant enough to command your
elected officials “ear”.
In the next several months there
will be many important decisions
made concerning the schools of the
State of Texas. Yes, as you prob-
ably guessed, we should be very
deeply concerned about the report
of “The Governor’s Committee On
Public School Education”. If it
were adopted as written we may
not be very happy with the results.
We need to study and discuss the
report and then tell our two elected
officials in the legislature what
changes we think should be made.
It takes everyone and their right
to vote to get results. “Your
Schools” and the Beacon will try
to keep you informed concerning
the movement of this important
piece of legislation. You do your
part by Registering to Vote. We
may not get to directly vote on
these state school issues, but we
can always vote for or against
those that vote for us. It feels good
to be an American and have this
right, doesn’t it?
Historical Society To
Sponsor Tours For Jr.
High History Students
The Matagorda County Histori-
cal Society and Historical Survey
Committee will sponsor their second
annual ‘History Appreciation Tour’
for all Texas History students in
the Junior High Schools in Mata-
gorda County. It will bo held in
conjunction with ‘History Appre-
ciation Week’ being planned for a
week in April.
Mesdames David Krumholz and
W. E. Sullivan, Bay City; Elo
Werlh, Sargent; Lee H. Pierce,
Blessing; and Eli Mayfield, Pa-
lacios, will be in charge of the stu-
dent tour with dates to be an-
nounced later.
Mrs. Dean Merck, Historical So-
ciety president presided at the
monthly meeting held in Bay City
Saturday. The organization voted
to have ten volumes of Geographic
Magazines bound for the County
Museum Archives.
The Historical Society extends a
special invitation, through the
press, for individual and organiza-
tion memberships. Dues are $2.00
and may be mailed to Mrs. E. D.

(Sept.-Dee.) of the school year of
$3,181.64 plus the required cafeteria
employees wage increase under the
Federal Minimum Wage Law of
15 cents per hour starting on Feb-
ruary 1, 1969. Superintendent Geo.
Holst and Cafeteria Director Ben-
neye Adams presented the detailed
report which showed the financial
operation of each of the district’s
three cafeterias. In the report was
a breakdown of the cost of the re-
quired wage increase which is
$328.04 for every 20-day month or
$2,952.36 for the nine month school
year. Holst stated, that he and Mrs.
Adams had discussed the matter as
early as last summer and thought
they could squeeze out at least this
school year, but that rising costs of
food and other items used by the
cafeteria plus the wage increase
just couldn’t be overcome. He also
said, that the Minimum Wage Law
will force all school districts to in
crease their employees wages 15c
an hour on February 1, 1970 and,
February 1, 1971 when all em-
ployees must be paid at least $1.60
per hour. The Board voted to in-
crease the price of lunches from 80
to 35 cents for the Elementary
Schools, from 40 to 45 cents for
the Junior and Senior High Schools,
and from 45 to 50 cents for adults.
The new lunch prices will take
effect on single ticket purchases
on Monday, February 3, 1969 and
on a graduated scale price basis on
book tickets on Thursday, January
23, 1969. Letters explaining the
price changes will be given each
student.
In other business the Board ap
proved the N. Y. C., Consolidated
Application (Titles I and II), and
regular P. I. S. D. bills as present
ed. They also gave the Rotary and
Lions Club permission to use a
school cafeteria for a joint meeting
en February 25, 1969.
According to school policy the
Board reviewed Superintendent
Holst’s contract which runs to June
30, 1970 and voted to revise it to
a new contract for July 1. 1969 to
June 30, 1972.
School Board member, Verner
Bowers, Jr., gave the Board a re-
port concerning the status of the
suit brought by the Shell Oil Com-
pany concerning the taxing of off-
shore properties in the Gulf of
Mexico. The Board voted to join
the other school districts involved
in hiring a firm of lawyers to
represent the group.
Other reports presented to the
Board were:
1. Tax Report by Assistant
Superintendent R. C. Shelton which
showed that 43.6% of the school
taxes have been paid. Shelton stated
that this was a normal collection
for this time of the year and that
from now to the 31st of January
will be a busy time for his office.
2. The Governor’s Committee on
Public School Education Report and
its effects on the Palacios I. S. D. if
It should be adopted was presented
by Superintendent Holst.
3. Title I and II fund increases
and the proposed use of these funds
were presented by Assistant Super-
intendent W. J. Arrington. He stat-
ed that these increases did not
make avail^le enough funds for a
(summer school this year.
4. A progress report concerning
the coming Southern Association
Accreditation visit for the purpose
of evaluating the secondary schools
was given by Assistant Superin-
tendent Leroy Neal.
5. Reports concerning the school
census, repair of school desks, pur-
chase of file cabinets, and purchase
of a school bus were given by
Superintendent Holst.
6. The regular monthly financial
report was presented by Superin-
tendent Holst.
7. Superintendent Holst gave a
report explaining the personnel de-
crease of the N. Y. C. staff. He
stated that due to lack of funds
one coordinator’s position was cut
off by the area office in Austin.
This position had been filled by Mr.
Bill Mullins.

standing defensively for the Shark-
ottes.
The Sharkettes took a thrilling
50-49 overtime victory from the

and managed to tie the score 42-42
at the completion of regulation
play.
Sylvia Laslie took over early in
the overtime period and sank two
quick field goals and two free
throws to push her point total to 31
for the night and led all scorers.

free throws in the closing seconds
of the contest and finished with
17 points.
The defensive combination of

School Census For
Beginner Students
Nears Completion
Work on the 1969-70 scholastic
census of the Palacios Independent
School District was begun on Jan-
uary 6, 1969. At present the enum-
eration of children in our school
district is almost complete.
All children who are between the
ages of six and seventeen years of
age should be listed on the school
census of the district in which they
reside. That is, any cnild born after
September 1, 1951 and on or before
September 1, 1963 should be enum-
erated for the 1969-70 school cen-
sus.
Our school census is being taken
through the school students as we
have done in past years; however,
anyone who has a child who will be
six years old on or before Sep-
tember 1, 1969, but who does not
have older cnildren in school, is
requested to call 972-3017 or 972-
2122.
The enumeration of children who
will be six years old on or before
September 1, 1969 is extremely im-
portant to the schools and stu-
dents. The first grade class sched-
ules and teacher assignments for
the coming school year are based
on the number of six-year olds list-
ed on our school census roll.
The officials of the Palacios In-
dependent School District would
like to thank all school parents for
their cooperation during the taking
of this school census.
Latin-Americans
Slate Sweelharl
Contest For Feb. 21
The Latin American Club of Pa-
lacios is sponsoring a contest to
choose a sweetheart. Candidates
for the contest are Linda Ottino,
Becky Espinosa, Rita Segovia and
Ramona Contreras. The girls have
already put their jors in places of
business around town. You may
cast your vote for the girl of your
choice at a penny a vote. A dance
will be held on February 21 to
name the winner of the contest.
Proceeds raised in this project will
be used for a scholarship to be giv-
en to a deserving Mexican-Ameri-
can student.
Contrary to the biased opinion of
many, this club was not formed for
the purpose of discrimination. To
this date the membership is all
Mexican-American but anyone who
wants to may join this youth club.
Our main purpose in forming this
club was to give teenagers an op-
portunity to run their own show
and know how to do it properly. It
also gives us something to work
towards, such as the scholarship
fund, and know what it is to accom-
plish something on our own.—

WONDER WHY ... The order
calling a county road bond election

was legally printed in another
county paper unless it finally
dawned on the officials that people
in this area like to know, and
are entitled to know, how they are
going to spend our tax money.

AGAINST LITTERBUGS ... A
Klamath Falls, Oregon, youth, 16-
year-old high school junior Bill
Manley, has launched his own fight
against litter in his community. He
sought and received permission
from the Klamath Falls City Coun-
cil to cleanup the city. He has en-
listed other high school boys and
girls to assist him on weekends in
gathering roadside debris, cleaning
vacant lots and removing waste
from the shores of Klamath Lake,
adjacent to the city. According to
a press report. “The work is being
done without pay. He told county
and city officials he is just interest-
ed in keeping things clean."
Young Mr. Manley, by stimulat-
ing the interest of youth in an anti-
litterbug campaign around his com-
munity, could well start a national
youth movement for cleaner cities.
After all, it is the youth who will
be living for many decAdes with the
mess that litterbugs are creating
around us today. The effort of this
high school student and his helpers
deserves the widest publicity and
encouragement of fellow citizens.

RED TAPE ... A New Orleans
lawyer sought an FHA loan for a
client. He was told that the loan
would be granted if he could prove
satisfactory title to property of-
fered as collateral. The title dated
back to 1803, and he had to spend
three months running it down.
After sending the information to
FHA he got this reply: “We re-
ceived your letter today enclosing
application for loan for your client,
supported by abstract of title. Let
us compliment you on the able
manner in wnich you prepared and
presented the application. However,
you have not cleared the title be-
fore the year 1802, and therefore,
before final approval can be ac-
corded the application, it will he
necessary that the title be cleared
of that year.”
Annoyed, the lawyer replied:
“Your letter regarding titles in
Case No. 189136 received, I note
that you wish titles extended furth-
er back than I have presented them.
I was unaware that any educated
man in tne world failed to know
that Louisiana was purchased from
France in 1803. The title to the land
was acquired by France by right
of conquest from Spain. The land
came into possession of Spain by
right of discovery made in 1492 by
a sailor named Christopher Colum-
bus, who had been granted the
privilege of seeking a new route
to India by the then reigning mon-
arch, Isabella. The good queen, be-
ing a pious woman and careful
about titles, almost, I might say,
as the FHA, took the precaution of
securing the blessing of the Pope
for the voyage before she sold her
jewels to help Columbus. Now the
Pope, as you know, is the emmis-
sary of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, and God, who, it is commonly
accepted, made the world. There-
fore, I believe it is 3ofe to presume
that He also made that part of the
world called Louisiana, and I hope
to heck you are satisfied."
