WAC Recruiting Sgt.
To Visit Palacios
Wednesday, Jan. 21
Sgt. Mary Evans, WAC Repre-
sentative for this area, will be in
Palacios on January 21 for a visit
here in order to interview and
counsel young women who are in-
terested in continuing their school-
ing through the Army’s technical
training school program, “Reserved
For You.”
Under this revolutionary pro-
gram, young women—who other-
wise qualify—will be afforded the
opportunity to apply for and re-
ceive any one of seven courses of-
fered through the program. These
courses are: Clerical and Typing
Procedures, Dental Assistant, Med-
ical Specialist, General Supply,
Cryptography Teletype and Cook-
ing, The courses range in length
from 4 weeks to 12 weeks and are
designed to start young women on
the road to a successful career in
any one of these fields.
The interesting feature of the
“Reserved For You” program is
that the applicant is guaranteed in
writing, from the Army’s Adjutant
General, that she will attend the
school of her choice before she ac-
tually enlists. Armed with this
guarantee, she is first required to
take basic training of 8 weeks dura-
tion at the WAC Training Center at
Fort McClellan, Alabama, before
attending the course of her choise.
Following the schooling, the
graduate is placed in a job which
utilizes her newly acquired spec-
ialty, and a career is formed.
Sgt. Evans will be available for
information at the Sheriff’s office
in Palacios between the hours of
4 and 5 p, m.

Card Of Appreciation
We would like tc^take this means
of thanking the ffikmbers of the
Palacios Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment for the valiant effort you
made last Wednesday night when
our farm house was destroyed by
fire. We feel that every possible
effort was exerted by you and we
shall always be grateful to the
members for their quick response.

line:'" then shorten and lengthen
the towing lino to find out where
the craft tows the easiest. Other-
wise it matters little and a ten
to fifteen foot line is usually about
right.

Did you know that northern pike
will eat ducks? Ducks, coots and
other birds have been found in pike
stomachs. At the National 'Wild-
life Refuge in Northern Michigan
ducklings were found to constitute
a small percentage of the food of
pike.
* * *
If you keep your boat in salt
water and used brass screws in
building it, there’s a possibility
that the screws below water line
have been eaten away by electroly-
sis. Usually they can be removed
without breaking. Take them out
and replace them with bronze or
monel. If they refuse to come with-
out shearing off, you will probably
have to do a refastening job below
waterline. Those above water are
not usually seriously damaged.
The best way is to replace all
of them you can with slightly
larger screws. On those which
break off set a new screw on each
side of them, plug the hole left
by the broken screw with wood
dough, smooth and repaint. If the
slots or screw heads have rotted
away drill a quarter inch deep hole
close beside them, push them over
with a screw driver to break them
off, then plug both holes.—Fisher-
man Magazine.

Something for the Chamber of
Commerce to think about—What
they might do to help the young-
sters who like to fish but have
limited means to do so. In Miami
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
has formed a J-Seas Fishing Pal
club. With funds donated by civic
minded citizens, kids who cannot
afford fishing trips are taken on
monthly offshore junkets the year
round.
If this plan is not suitable for
this area, how about the Cham-
ber supplying fishing equipment
to youths who will not only enjoy
fishing, but take care of the equip-
ment, return it in order, so that
others may enjoy the same privi-
lege?
Give the young boys a chance to
earn rods and reels, doing summer
work, and then helping plain spon-
sored fishing trips to the many
good locations in the area?
Fishing is good clean sport, in-
teresting, worth while, and the
young folks will appreciate the
chance of having a well planned
fishing or camping trip, once or
twice a month during the summer
vacation period.
Yes, include the girls—for they
too enjoy this sport and pleasure.
