Local FAA Station
Aids 7,800 Airmen
£ In its accelerated program to
greatly improve air safety, the
Federal Aviation Agency has just
announced a new name and im
portant new and stepped-up pilot
services at Palacios’ FAA' Air Traf-
fic Communications Station, It
will now be called FAA Flight
Service Station and will still bo
located on Palacios Municipal Air-
port.
F. A. Griffin, station chief, said
today, “There are more than 250,-
000 individual flights a day over
the nation. Over 90% of these
flights are made under the FAA’s
Visual Flight Rules, and only 10%
when the pilot is relying purely
on instruments. Most of our work
here at Palacios’ FAA Flight Ser-
i vice Station aids this large group
of visual flying pilots.”
Last year more than 7,800 pilots
responded to the familiar radio
call “Palacios Radio” and were
helped to make their flight safer.
Griffin explained that flight
plans, filed by pilots under Visual
Flight Rules, now are being tele-
typed to each FA'A facility along
the planned flight route, instead of
only to the destination station.
Each FAA Flight Service Station
' which receives a flight plan com
putes the time at which the air-
plane is due over each station’s
area, and the FAA specialist on
duty is able to immediately relay
to the pilot any last minute weath
er changes or other flight haz-
ards ahead.

Celanese Corp. To
Locale In County,
Land Is Optioned
The Celanese Corporation
America has taken an option on
land in Matagorda County on
which it contemplates the construc-
tion of a plant. The official com-
pany statement was made by Mr.
Ernst T. Lindsey, Vice President
of the Celanese Chemical Company.
The official statement by Mr.
Lindsey read, ’The Celanese Cor-
poration of America has taken an
option on 1,000 acres of land ad-
jacent to the turning basin on the
Colorado River barge channel near
Bay City. I would like to compli-
ment the Bay City Chamber of
Commerce and the Bay City-Mata-
gorda County Industrial Founda-
tion for being instrumental in
bringing Bay City and Matagorda
County to the attention of our com-
pany and for helping to advance
the negotiation of the option. We
have been pleased with the people
in Bay City with whom we have
been dealing. This is only an option
and is not a land purchase. The
Celanese Corporation of America
likes to have property available so
that when definite plans are com-
pleted our work can be started im-
mediately without having to start
looking for sites. No further state-
ment can be made at this time.”
The firm contemplates the con-
struction of a plant on the location
which is approximately eight miles
from Bay City. Celanese Corpora-
tion of America has other Texas
plants at Bishop, Pampa and Hous-
ton. The firm manufactures high-
density polyethylene, acetic acid,
formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde,
acetaldehyde, trioxane, acetone,
methanol, propionic and butyric
acids, vinyl acetate and other pro-
ducts. It is one of the major Amer-
ican chemical manufacturers.
Chief Griffin said, “also makes
possible the maximum use of the
new pilot weather reporting sys-
tem recently established between
the FAA, the military, and civilian
pilots.”
“This is a voluntary general
weather reporting plan under
which each pilot aloft reports any
weather he is flying in or can see
that might cause a hazard to fly-
ing. These helpful weather reports
are then relayed to other pilots in
the area.”
The Palacios FAA1 Flight Ser-
vice Station, as do the 335 other
such stations throughout the na-
tion also aids pilots by accepting
and closing flight plans, offering
pre-flight briefing to pilots, fur-
nishing point-to-point communica-
tions, broadcasting regular weather
information, giving expert assist-
ance to aircraft in trouble, and,
when necessary, initiating search
and rescue actions. At Palacios
there are 6 people highly trained
for this work.
Griffin commented today, “This
stepped-up service to private and
executive pilots is a part of the
Federal Aviation Agency’s giant
program to modernize the federal
airways, and to do all that it can to
foster and develop civil aviation.”
Created by the Congress in the
fall of 1958, the authoritative Fed
eral Aviation Agency, in addition
to modernizing the airways and
fostering the development of civil
aviation, has the task of directing
air traffic control of both civil and
military aircraft, allocating the
diminishing airspace, and both
issuing and enforcing air safety
rules.
In addition to the Flight Service
Station at the Palacios Municipal
Airport, the Palacios Flight Service
Station operates the old Low Fre-
quency Radio Range and the newer
VOR Range at Palacios and the
VOR at Victoria. The new VOR at
Victoria is controlled and scheduled
broadcasts are made through the
use of leased telephone lines be-
tween Palacios and Victoria.

A Warning To Boys
With 'BB' Air Rifles
A large plate glass window was
broken—a shot from a BB air-
rifle. This happened last week and
E. P. Noble, Chief of Police, re-
minds all parents and their children
that there is an ordinance on the
books of the City of Palacios pro-
hibiting the firing of air rifles
within the city limits.
A fine point about the ordinance,
Chief Noble says, is the fact that
parents are held responsible for
any damage done.

what are you trying to tell
me?”
Effective April 1, 1960 boats of
more than ten horsepower operated
on the navigable waters of the
United States MUST be numbered
under the Federal Boating Act of
1958, the Coast Guard announced
today. Vessels documented by the
Bureau of Customs are exempted
from this Act.
On that date the Coast Guard
will start receiving applications for
numbers in those states which have
not yet adopted their own number-
ing systems.
Applicants for Federal Certifi-
cates of Number may obtain ap-
plication forms at local Post Of-
fices. The completed application
form and a $3.00 fee must be filed
with the Post Office. At that time
blue, $3.00 Federal Boating
Stamp will be affixed to the ap-
plication and a temporary cer-
tificate will be returned to the ap-
plicant. This certificate will serve
as proof of compliance with the
law until such time as the applica-
tion has been processed by the
Coast Guard.
The Permanent Certificate of
Number to be issued the boat own-
er will be an embossed plastic card
similar to a gasoline credit card.
The certificate will show the Coast
Guard number to be affixed to each
side of, the bow of the boat by the
owner and must be on board when-
ever the vessel is in use. A number
awarded by the Coast Guard will be
valid from the date of issuance and
for 3 years from the date of the
owner's birthday next occurring
after the certificate is issued. Docu-
mentary proof of title and owner-
ship is not required by the Coast
Guard with application for num-
ber. Application blanks may be
obtained from any Coast Guard
Marine Inspection Office, but the
fees must be paid at the Post Office.
Even though boats have been
previously numbered by the Coast
Guard prior to March 31, 1960, ap-
plication MUST be made for a new
number on April 1st under the
Federal Boating Act; however, the
previous number and certificate
may be retained for temporary
identification until the new number
is issued. Boat owners may con-
tinue to operate their craft legally
if they have applied for renumber-
ing, paid the required fee and re-
tained proof of payment.

By LORRAINE HASFORD
In another five weeks the sad
story of no live bait may come to
an end, for even though live bait
will not be too plentiful, there
should be some brown shrimp show-
ing in the bay sometime in Alpril.
Although research on the brown
shrimp has not produced informa-
tion comparable to that available
on white shrimp, these facts are
known:
1. Spawning definitely precedes
that of the white shrimp usually by
two to three months. It occurs
farther offshore.
2. Brown shrimp leave the nurs-
ery grounds at a smaller size than
the white shrimp. This migration
takes place sometime during the
period May through September, tha
time varying according to the lo-
cality.
3. Growth of brownies takes as
long as white shrimp.
4. The adults are active at night,
apparently burying themselves dur-
ing the day. The smallest sizes
found in the nursery area do not
seem to be as strongly nocturnal.
When the migration of young
brown shrimp in all of the Gulf
States are considered as a whole,
a universal closed season for con-
serving of the young would be
from March 1 through April 30.
Most sprawning of the white
shrimp occurs from April through
August in the offshore waters. The
eggs are laid directly into the wa-
ter and are not carried by the fe-
male. A female shrimp will lay
between 500,000 and 1,000,000 eggs
at a spawning.
The eggs hatch within a few
hours and the young become part
of the plankton being carried about
by oceanic currents. Only those
young survive which are carried
into favorable nursery areas in
relatively fresh estuarine waters.
In Louisiana. Mississippi and
Alabama the young appear in
abundance on the inside fishing
grounds by mid-June; in Texas and
West Florida by mid-July. In the
nursery areas during the summer,
the young shrimp as individuals
grow very rapidly, generally in
creasing their weight more than
four times each month.
The larger shrimp eventually
find their way to the spawning
grounds in offshore waters of high-
er salinity. As winter approaches,
the larger shrimp move from nurs
ery grounds to offshore waters,
leaving the smaller shrimp in the
nursery areas, where growth is re-
tarded by lower temperatures.
With the advent of spring and
the warmth of the waters, the
small shrimp which wintered over
the areas resume a very rapid rate
of growth, and consequently they
move to the offshore waters where
spawning takes place. At their
first spawning period, these shrimp
are approximately one year old.
The problem of the live bait
shrimp fishery should be recog-
nized as being separate and dis-
tinct from those of the commercial
food shrimp fishery.
For more information the In-
formation Series No. 2 entitled
“The Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf
of Mexico” may be obtained from
the Texas Game and Fish Commis-
sion, Austin, Texas.

The Texas Oyster Fishery, bul-
letin No. 40, also may be obtained
from the Texas Game and Fish
Commission, may be of interest to
the Texas oyster man.
Clean living department: Any
fisherman who smokes Spanish ci-
gars, uses liquor in any form, fre-
quents pool or public halls, gets
shaved in a barber shop or keeps
undersized fish will give good rea-
son to suspect his words, intentions,
integrity and honesty.

Not everybody who works in fish
conservation is a fishery biologist.
To avoid confusion on this point it
may be helpful to define him. Here
is how the committee on profes-
sional standards of the American
Fisheries Society does it.
1. A fishery biologist is a pro-
fessionally trained person capable
of defining and investigating prob-
lems related to fisheries, and of
proposing scientifically sound solu-
tions of the biological problems in
sport and commercial fisheries.
2. The fishery biologist can be
expected to have a working know-
ledge of basic biology, chemistry,
physics and mathematics as ap-
plied to aquatic biology and fish-
eries. He must also be capable of

Revival To Open
At First Baptist
Church March 20
The First Baptist Church is mak-
ing plans now for a great revival
to be conducted March 20-27. The
evangelist is to be Glenn McCollum
who is the pastor of the First
Baptist Church of Premont, Texas.

Bro. McCollum has been serving
as pastor at Premont for the past
three years having gone there from
a very successful pastorate at the
First Baptist Church of Daisetta,
Texas. Bro. McCollum was a mem-
ber of the choir of the University
of Corpus Christi during his days
in school there and traveled with
them on several tours. He is a well
loved pastor in the Coastal Bend
Baptist Association having been
very active in the work of the as-
sociation and the District Five Con-
vention of which his church is a
member.
Leading the singing for the re-
vival will be Clarence Pruitt from
Devine. Mr. Pruett is the minister
of music and education of the
First Baptist Church of Devine
and is serving as the District Six
chairman of Music for the Baptist
Convention. He is a graduate of
Southwestern Baptist Seminary
School of Music and Education and
comes to us to lead us in the singing
for our revival. Mr. Pruitt has ask-
ed all who will come and help in
the choir to be sure and be in your
place ready to do your part for
the revival from the very first ser-
vice.
The First Baptist Church invites
you to come and enjoy our fellow-
ship and enjoy these good services
during these days of revival and
every Sunday of the year. You are
always most welcome to come and
visit with us.

Testing, Many Rumors
By BOJJ WILKINSON
Oil Operator-Lease Broker
Louise and East Bernard areas
reported new gas wells during the
week while testing continued on
others.
A big question mark in the pro-
lific field extending northeast from
Palacios is Superior Oil Company’s
No. 1 Edith M. Lewis. Although
there is a tank battery at the drill
site, some say the well cut a fault
and missed field pay.
Right across the Prairie Center
road east, Texaco is currently dig-
ging No. 1 Palacios Oil Unit on
the Jagodzinski tract.
In the East Bernard area, Woods
Exploration & Production Com-
pany’s and J. F. Corley’s No. 1
Addie Wallace flowed at the rate
of 4,500,000 cubic feet of gas daily
through a 10/64-inch choke from
7.586-99 feet, and the operators’
No. 1 Leveridge made 3,600,000
cubic feet of gas daily on a 10/64-
inch choke from 8,049-56 feet.
North of Louise, Anderson &
Cook reported a potential for No.
1 E. H. Koch: 58,000,000 cubic feet

Two Million Cars
Need Slickers By
April 15 Deadline
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr., direc-
tor of the Texas Department of
Public Safety, said today that
more than two-million motor ve-
hicles remain to be inspected be-
fore the April 15 deadline. He urg-
ed all Texas motorists to obtain
their new inspection stickers at an
early date.
Garrison reported that more
than 4,300,000 will be inspected in
Texas this year. To date only about
half that number have gone
through inspection lines at some
4,400 inspection stations located
throughout the state.
The DPS director pointed out
that inspection stations cannot in-
spect vehicles during wet, rainy
weather, a condition normally pre-
vailing during late winter and early
spring. To make sure every vehicle
owner is able to obtain his 1960
inspection sticker in time, Garrison
suggested that plans be made now
to visit an inspection station, be-
fore inspection lines grow long.

More Vitality In
Rotary Interest
Urged By Salyer
Mr. Eli Mayfield introduced to
Palacios Rotarians Mr. Jack Sal-
yer of Bay City. Mr. Salyer spoke
to members, encouraging more vi-
tality in Rotary interests and ac-
tivities. This can be accomplished
only if the individual member is
approached in such a way that
he becomes a vital member of the
club. The ideal of "Serviee Above
Self” should be the keynote of all
activities undertaken by the club.
A sense of urgency should be
presented club members 'in such a
manner that man overcomes ma-
terialism and looks to principles
and values as the more important
values in life.
In furthering the principles of
Rotary International much effort
will be renuired. However, one
must not Consider this as merely a
chore. It is work with a purpose
that can bring pleasure in a sense
of accomplishment.

There is only one right way to
cut taxes, and that is to reduce gov-
ernment spending to_the paint.
where-lower taxes would not un-
balance the budget. But the gov-

rection; it is moving in the di-
rection of ever-increasing spending,
spending not only for essentials
like defense but also for a whole
flock of activities the government
has no business engaging in any-
way. That being the case, our
terrible taxes must remain; in
fact, they should be increased.—
