Sharks Win Double-Header From
Crescent To Open District Cage Season
Likely winner? Wharton College Offers Nursing,
Drafting Study To Meet War Needs
Coach Sharkey Shelton’s Pala-
cios High School cagers posted a
douhlc-header victory over the
Crescent Blue Jays here last Fri-
day night when the two teams
opened the District 86-B title race.
The first string pulled ahead of
the Blue Jays early in the fourth
quarter and went on to win, 38-31,
while the B team edged out the
Blue Jay Bees, 17-14, in the pre-
liminary.
The Sharks started off like a
house afire and piled up a 14-7 lead
in the first quarter. Then Crescent
surged in the fore in pointsmith-
mg and tied it up at 21-21 at the
half.
There followed a thrilling nip-
and-tuck contest in the third per-
iod. The lead changed hands sev-
eral times.
Finally regaining their poise and
accuracy of the first period, the
Sharks began hitting the bucket
and pulled into the fore to stay.
Little Maurilio Rodriguez led
the victory-producing spurt with
three quick baskets. He was high-
point man for the Sharks with 13,
while Wuthrich paced the Blue
Jays with eight buckets for 16
points.
Kallas, Crescent's vaunted point-
maker, was held in check by the
Palacios squad. lie managed to
score only 10 points, whereas his
usual average is 18 to 20 per
game.
Tom Bolling collected his limit
of five fouls by the third period
and went out of the game. Wuth-
rich and Mathews were assessed
five each before the time the game
ended and also were forced to
retire.
In the B game it was Charles
Bowers leading the pack fo; the
locals with six points, followed by

Gilmer-Aikin Laws
Credited For Higher
Standards, Lower Cost
One-half cent leas of each state
tax dollar went to support Texas’
public-schools last year than in
1939-40 despite the tremendous
strides made in the school system
since the Gilmer-Aikin laws went
into effect.
“Not only has Texas climbed
from very low on the national
ladder to near the top in public
school education in the first year
under the Gilmer-Aikin program,
but the state accomplished what
amounted to a near-revolution in
education without taking a bigger
bite out of each tax dollar,” Dr.
Mortimer Brown, president of the
Texas State Teachers Association,
pointed out here today.
“In 1939-40 the public school
support totaled 30.31 cents of each
state dollar expended. During the
last school year the school’s share
of that dollar was 29.67 or exactly
,4 of a cent less.
“At the same time, enrollment
greatly increased, the number of
teachers employed went much
higher and the average daily at
tendance skyrocketed.
“The daily average attendance
jumped in one year 35,708 under
the new school program. Too, it
is pertinent to point out that every
child in Texas is guaranteed the
opportunity of having 175 days of
actual instruction per year.
There are now 49,628 classroom
teachers in Texas schools, Dr,
Brown pointed out. That is 4,225
more than in 1939-40.
"That makes for better educa-
tion of our children,” Dr. Brown
commented. “Classrooms are now
smaller, allowing for more indi-
vidual instruction.”

1 RURAL HOMES BURN
IN HALF MILE AREA
STAMFORD—Three homes were
destroyed and a fourth damaged
in a rural area of half a mile ra-
dius here, all within" one week.
Three of the fires occurred within
24 hours. It was the most unusual
outbreak of rural fires that could
be recalled by old timers. There
was no evidence that there was
any connection between the fires.
Wharton County Junior College
is gearing its adult program for
war-time needs with the announce-
ment of two courses especially de-
signed to serve in national de-
fense.
A new nursing technician course
will be offered, and a course in
drafting practices will be given on
demand, President J. M. Hodges
announced.
The nursing technician course,
ordinarily offered only in the fall,
will be started anew in February,
at the close of the first semester’s
work.
It is expected to fill a great
need for women trained in nursing
care for both home and hospitals.
Meets Approval Of Doctors
The course meets the approval
of doctors and hospitals. It also
fulfills requirements which prob-
ably will be demanded in legisla-
tion this spring, for the licensing
of practical nurses.
A bill is expected to be intro-
duced in the Texas House re-
quiring the licensing of practical
nurses, and the Wharton County
Junior College nursing technician
course has been set up to meet
the proposed legislation.
It covers a period of regular
classroom study, supervised train-
Girl Cagers Can Tie
For Lead With Victory
Over Tidehaven Friday
A victory over Tidehaven Friday
night at El Maton will give Pala-
cios High School girl cagers at
least a tie for the district cham-
pionship. If they should win the
loop title, they will advance to
regional competition Principal W.
E. Sullivan said Monday.
It appears, however, that there
will have to be a play-off between
Palacios and Van Vleck. The V.V.
girls will win a tie with Palacios if
they, too, defeat Tidehaven in a
contest sometime next week.
At least a play-off seems as-
sured for Palacios, for the girls
have beaten Tidehaven, 39-13, and
in addition they have trounced Van
Vleck, 37-23.
Both contenders have beaten the
Tigerettes and appear likely to
repeat, especially with the crown
at stake.
The Sharkettes plastered the
Ganado Indian Squaws in the last
outing by a 45-11 score. The girls,
it seems, could teach the boys
something about the art of scor-
ing in basketball.
Mary Alice Bishop dropped in
15 points, Opal Lee Buffaloe had
14 and Lou Cavallin 13. Hicks led
the Squaws with seven.
Colleen Treacy led the B girls
with eight points in their 17-14
win over the Ganado girls. Char-
lotte Plaisted hooped in six. Wal-
leck led for Ganado with 11.
ing in hospitals, and actual clin-
ical experience.
Consider Nursing
Mrs. Ann Steck, director of the
course, said, “Women with no spe-
cific vocation in mind who want to
take up some worthy occupation
in the interest of national service
should consider the nursing tech-
nician program.
If total mobilization should come
the shortage of nurses will be even
greater than it is now.
The drafting course will include
lettering, use of instruments for
tracing and inking basic projec-
tions, use of drafting machines and
dimensioning.
Upon satisfactory completion, it
will qualify persons for beginning
draftsmen and tracers.
During the last war one of the
critical shortages was that of
draftsmen, Industry found that in
expanding for a war effort, drafts-
men were needed in great number's.
Six army generals have become
presidents of the U. S.
“There are many live wires
among our acquaintances who
would be dead if they didn’t have
the right connections.” — News-
