OUTDOORS
tmat
Jr-
WITH JOHN R. WILSON
Although many Palacios sports-!
men are straining at the leash
awaiting the opening of dove sea-
son half an hour before sunrise
Friday, fishing still is the outdoor
pastime of the week.
Cotton Bolen Hhquld be nomin-
ated by somebody as fisherman of
the week. He hooked a four-pound
trout off the Pavilion Wednesday
morning. That weight is verified,
too. He took it down 'to Brownies
Place on Grassy Point and put it
on the scales. The Jfcrowns will
vouch for the figure.
John Taylor caught a four-pound,
two-ounce flounder off the Pavil-
ion Saturday and backed it up with
a string of 10 Wednesday morning.
Mr. and Mra. Leon Avila of
Houston hooked 23 nice trovt Sat-
urday in East Bay.
Mr. and Mra. C. Boetietler hauled
in good trout catch Friday fmom
the Tres Palacios River.
Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sailor got a
varied catch Tuesday in the river—
three reds, three trout and one
flounder.
Louis Scurlock of Blessing and
Leon Arlla of Houston caught 14
nice trout in East Bay Tuesday.
Dr. John Hart and Ney Oldham
hauled in half a dozen trout from
the shell pile Wednesday. They
dressed six pounds even, the Doc
said.
Mr. Hadley of Blessing was in
town last week telling about a
catch of 90 trout he and a friend
made. Seems they ran out of live
bait after a while, but Mr. Hadley
said he went on casting, using a
bit of white handkerchief. Twenty
trout won't bite at a bit of white
cloth again.
Bob Neeley gigged a couple of
flounder in the Tres Palacios River
Tuesday night and tried Wednesday
to convince his cronies the big
one really got away.
Fishermen eyed Wednesday’s
high wind with disfavor, fearing
it may mess up a week-end of
fishing.

While a representative of South-
western Associated Telephone
Company was making the rounds
in Palacios this week assigning
new numbers ‘to old subscribers,
Chief Operator Miss Ann Luther
urged prospective phone-users to
contact the local office to be listed
among those desiring phones un-
der the new dial system.
Work on the new set-up was
progressing satisfactorily. At a
meeting of the City Council Mon-
day night Mayor J. L. Koerber
expressed gratification over the
excellent cooperation extended by
telephone company officials in mov.
ing poles at the request of several
people in the city.
People desiring phones were
urged to make applications as
soon as possible so they will be
assured of service and in order
that they may be included in the
new directory to be prepared soon.
More than 100 applications have
been made, in addition to the 332
business and residence phones in
use under the old system. The new
dial system will include a line ex
tending along Ninth Street, allow-
ing people in that area to enjoy
phone service for the first time.
Colored School Takes
Only Interest In
Poster Contest
The only interest shown in the
poster contest sponsored by the
V.F.W. on letter-writing came from
the Colored School.
The importance of letter-writing
can not be stressed too much, and
the lack of interest as shown in
this particular contest may prove
that we are failing to stress this
important phase of our living.
All the posters showed work, and
the judges spent quite some time
in selecting the winning posters.
The art work on some that were
not selected was good.
The judges did have the follow-
ing basis on which they selected
the winners: first, originality and
thought behind the poster; second,
the art work; and third, neatness
and lettering.
The winning posters were made
by the following students from the
Colored School:
First prize of $10—Lucy Faye
Harris.
Second Prize of $6—Olivia Polk.
Third Prize of $3—Dolphine Lin-
coln.
Look at these posters in the
post office.

First Victory Against
Van Vleck Tuesday
Palacios Junior High Hornet
“Bees” will be seeking their first
victory in two starts at the high
school stadium here Tuesday night
when they entertain the Van Vleck
juniors at 7:45.
A third-quarter 20-yard touch
down pass by the Blessing juniors
spelled a 6-0 defeat for the Hornet
B eleven Tuesday night at Tide-
haven. It was the first game of the
season for the Bees, who are most,
ly seventh graders.
In an evenly matched battle all
the way, the Palacios juniors
reached the Tidehaven 20-yard line
twice during the evening but could
not punch over for a score.
Donny Beard turned in the long-
est run of the game for Palacios
as he sped 50 yards on a reverse.
Defensive giants for the Hornet
Bees were Tackle Tommy Reneau,
Guards Walter Hayes and Ernest
Gonzales, and End Danny Longoria.
Backs Beard, Bobby Warner and
Bobby Walton were standouts in
the Hornet offense.

Sharks Journey To Bloomington
Continuing District Grid Warfare
Jr. High Hornets Seek First Dislricl
Win Against Anglelon Here Tonight
Hallowe'en To Be
Eerie Are Plans
Of Student Council
Hallowe’en is just around the
corner and Palacios is laying plans
for an eerie evening of it.
Senior and junior high school
student councils are preparing for
a thrill-filled carnival Tuesday,
October 31, at the high school,
President Buddy Crawford of Pa-
lacios High has announced.
Everything from a dashing tur-
tle race to a dunking board is
calculated to furnish thrills, chills,
and laughter for oldsters and
youngsters alike.
Each class and club will operate
a concession at the affair scheduled
to begin at 6:30 p.m. October 31
and slated to end by 9 o’clock so
youngsters may attend the Lion-
sponsored movie and Hallowe’en
party at the Capitol Theatre.
A dunking board, spook room,
fish pond, cake walk, penny throw,
and food concession will be oper-
ated by high school students.
A turtle race, dart board, base-
ball throw, ring-the-duck, country
store, and soft drink concession will
be conducted by junior high schol-
ars.
Crawford said more concessions
are being planned.
Proceeds of the carnival will go
partly to each class and club and
partly to the general fund.
Lions Club Plans
Board For Display Of
Servicemen's Names
i
More visible evidence of Pala-
cios’ part in re-building the na-
tion’s defenses in face of the un-
settled international situation is
being planned by the Lions Club,
according to reports at the Tues-
day meeting.
Tentative preparations call for
the Lions to erect an 8x16 foot
board on the park grounds, on
which will be inscribed the names
of all service men from Palacios
and surrounding territory.
Dr. John Hart was guest speak-
er at the meeting. He explained
how glutannic acid, a derivative of
amino acids, have allowed pro-
gress in treating mentally-retarded
children.
One mentally slow boy of 16
was the butt of jokes on the part
of his schoolmates to such an ex-
tent that he had no interest what-
ever in school and was subject to
violent tantrums.
After six month treatment with
glutannic acid, Dr. Hart said, he
has improved so much that he
could answer the taunts of his
schoolmates in kind, began read-
ing newspapers daily, which he
had never done before, and was
greatly improved in personality.
Preparations were continued at
the meeting for the Hallowe'en
party the Lions are sponsoring at
the Capitol Theatre.
Refreshed by a 7-0 victory over
Port Lavaca last week, Coach
George Holst’s Palacios Junior
High Hornets are prepared for an-
other district encounter here to-
night at 7:45. Angleton’s Junior
High edition will furnish the op-
position as the Hornets now at-
tempt their first league win.
Comparative scores give the
locals a clear-cut edge over the
visitors—Freeport, which had a
tough time nosing out Palacios,
easily sailed past Angleton, 19-0.
The hefty Hornets have the
spirit and poundage to build them,
selves into an impressive grid
machine. Coach Holst says his
starting lineup will tip the scales
somewhere between 150 and 155
pounds.
Holst recalled that when he was
grid mentor at the high school
here in 1947 the Sharks could mus-
ter a starting eleven no heavier
than 138 pounds per man.
Tonight’s starting lineup reads
like this: Leroy Smith and Paul
Guttenberger at ends, Boyd “Tiny”
Foltyn and Don Johnson at tackles;
Hubert Bowers and Nelo Seaman at
guards; Jerome Kimball at center;
Eugene Zemanek, Dean Blackwell.
Clinton Wratislaw, and Alfr i
Manning in the backfield.
Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Stevenson
attended the Texas A. & M.-V.M.I.
football game at College Station

Mrs. Kate Barnett
Sees Nephew For First
Time In 52 Years
Mrs. Kate Barnett, 79, had one
of the most pleasant surprises
last week that are the reward of
old-age.
A man, a stranger to her at
first, walked up to her door and
asked, “Are you ready to go
home?"
After a moment’s confusion, the
man laughed and Mrs. Barnett
immediately recognized him as her
nephew, Loren Doughty, who she
had not seen since 1898—52 years
ago.
Mrs. Barnett said she had not
seen Mr. Doughty since he visited
her and her husband on a Kauf-
man County ranch, when her ne-
phew was 18 years old. He’s 71
now.
Mr. Doughty and Mrs. Barnett,
who now lives in Pomona, Cal., had
two short days to reminesce about
a lifetime spent more than half a
century ago.

‘DON’T BE MISLED BY COMMUNISTS,’ HOUSTON
FBI HEAD TELLS ROTABIANS AT REGULAR MEET
Palacios To Face
Unorthodox Squad
In Third Loop Tilt
Coach Sharkey Shelton’s grid
machine, with one victory and a
tie in district play so far, travels
to Bloomington Friday night to
put its record on the line before a
squad that is spoiling for a win.
Bloomington has dropped a 25-6
contest to Tidehaven and last week
lost a heartbreaker to Louise on
a 30-yard drop-kick—that’s right,
a drop-kick.
In the Louise encounter, how-
ever, Bloomington showed vast im
provement over its Tidehaven af-
fair, according to the Rev. Rayford
B. Harris, who scouted both games
for the Sharks.
Palacios' single wing will be
pitted against a balanced line in
short punt formation with a man
under, a new system that resem-
bles the “T" in that it is favorable
for a quick-opening plays. Bloom-
ington also employs the “T” on
occasion.
Puzzling Defense
That’s not the most puzzling as-
pect of Bloomington’s grid game,
however. In the Louise game last
week Bloomington employed at
least 10 different patterns, which
may have influenced their im-
proved holding game.
Palacios will enter the game
definite favorites, at least on the
part of the many local fans ex-
pected to attend, but Bloomington
will have a slight weight advan-
tage. While the Sharks will field a
team with a weight average of 154
pounds (162 in the line and 140 in
the backfield), Bloomington will
put out a starting average of 156
(163 in the line and 151 in the
backfield).
Speed Offset Weight
That 11-pound per man differ-
ence in the backfield should be
more than offset by Palacios’ fleet
backs like Sardelich and Rodri-
guez.
Coach Shelton was particularly
pleased with Tuesday afternoon’s
practice session and indicated he
will start the same eleven that
began the Ganado fracas last week.
Lineups
That would be Roy Markwardt
and James Penland at ends, Eu-
gene Newsom and Roy Wratislaw
at tackles, Red Wright and Donny
Kitchen at guards, Tom Bolling
at center, and Maurilio Rodriguez,
Charles Bowers, Pete Sardelich,
and John Gayle in the backfield.
Coach J. M. Wyatt probably
will field this starting lineup: Theo-
dore Westerman (No. 56, 185 lbs.)
and Mike Huston (No. 52, 150 lbs.)
at ends; Jim Robertson (No. 44,185
lbs.) and Pat Smith (No. 45, 145
lbs.) at tackles; Zip Mendez (No.
37, 130 lbs.) and James Hilsher
(No. 49, 140 lbs.) at guards; Jim
Moore (No. 38, 120 lbs.) at center;
and Charles Stephenson (No. 47,
180 lbs.), Will Galvan (No. 43, 150
lbs.), Ysa Martin (No. 51, 160
lbs.), and Will Schurtz (No. 42,
130 lbs.) in the backfield.
Others on Bloomington’s roster
and their numbers are Bob Spenser
34, Ken Schurtz 35, Bob Fogg 36,
Jerry Lambert 40, Floyd White-
field 46, Tom Bins 48, Doc Rush 50,
Leo Mendez 53, Alton Autrey 54,
Stanley Payne 55, and Ken Mar-
shall 56.
John R. Wilson
Is Added To Staff
Of Palacios Beacon
John R. Wilson of San Antonio
has been named to the editorial
and advertising staff of the Beacon.
Mr. Wilson assumed his duties
last Thursday.
lie is a jjraduate of journalism
at Trinity University, where he
was editor of the college news-
paper, The Trinitonian.
Later he served on the editorial
staff of The Bay City News and a
trade magazine in San Antonio.
Mr. Wilson comes to Palacios
with the highest of recommenda-
tions. He is a veteran of World
War II.
He will he joined by his wife
next week-end and will reside at
the Iuka cottage.
“Don’t be misled into believing
that Communists stand for all the
things they say they do,” A. F.
Lorton Jr., former assistant to
J. Edgar Hoover and new head
of F.B.I. office in Houston, told 18
Rotarians and their guests Wed-
nesday at luncheon in the Green
Lantern Inn.
Mr. Lorton pointed out that the
54,000 known Communists in the
U. S. proclaim their belief in things
like civil rights to create dissen-
sion and unrest and to gain new
members and sympathizers, while
preparing the way for a new sy-
stem of government that would
destroy such fundamental prin-
ciples.
The experienced F.B.I. man, who
was head of the Birmingham office
before coming to Houston, also de-
clared that there are 10 sympa-
thizers for every known Commun-
ist He concluded, however, that
there is no danger for America
from the Soviet-controlled Com-
munists as long as homes, schools
and churches, as well as national,
state, and local governments, are
strongly supported by an enlight-
ened citizenry.
Mr. Lorton also explained the
role of fingerprints in solving
crimes, locating missing persons
aHd identification. Of the 113,-
000,000 prints on record in Wash-
ington, Mr. Lorton said about 20,-
000,000 represent criminal arrests.
About 900 criminals are appre-
hended every month through the
use of fingerprints alone, he de-
clared.
Relating several case histories,
Mr. Lorton showed how one small
scrap of information often is of
great help in solving a crime. He
expressed the Bureau's gratitude
for such tips, but added that
agents must be cautious of ma-
licious spite on the part of some
so-called informers.
R. P. Newsom, who was in charge
of the program, arranged for Mr.
Lorton to address the group.
Visitors included Bob Anderson,
Rowland Rugeley, J. K. Mattox,
and George Townsend, all of Bay
City, and E. E. Williams of West
Columbia.
Here, There, And
Yonder, Potsy Curtis
Awaits Destination
This is 1950 . . . Korean War
Days. . .
In the early days of World War
II billboards displayed the sign of
Uncle Sam pointing to a youth of
the land and captioned “I Want
YOU” with emphasis on the YOU.
Noel (Potsy) Curtis has had the
finger placed on him in Korean
Days. To begin with he received
two orders to report for physical
exams, both on the same day, in
different locations, only 30 minutes
apart. Second, he received one
order to report to Fort Sill, Okla.;
another order on Tuesday of this
week to report to Fort Hood, Texas,
and on Wednesday another order
to report to Fort Crockett, at Gal-
veston. Yes, Uncle Sam wants you.
Good luck, Potsy.
Today the world isn’t worrying
so much about who’s who, as it is
what’s what.
Alcoa Oificial
Explains Strike
Works Manager G. R. Stout of
Alcoa’s Point Comfort Works held
to his contention that the strike
still in progress there is in viola-
tion of agreements between the
company and the strikers.
He stuck to his guns in a letter
Wednesday to all employees. Mr.
Stout quoted a letter of October
13 from Alcoa’s Assistant Person-
nel Director Robert K. Heineman
to James G. Thimmes, vice-presi-
dent of the United Steelworkers
of America in Pittsburgh. The
letter follows.-
“At our conference in your of-
fice on October 12, your attorney
asked us to state our position con-
cerning the present strike at the
Point Comfort Works.
“We wish to confirm our state-
ment, made in reply to your re-
quest, that the current strike at
the Point Comfort Works is in
violation of the provisions of our
agreements of May 8, 1947, and
December 7, 1949.
“Furthermore, written docu-
ments, consisting of our letters to
you dated September 20, 1950,
the specific terms of the 10 per
cent offer as applied to the Point
Comfort Works and delivered to
local union and International Union
representatives on September 20 in
the local negotiations there, and
your letter of acceptance of Sep-
tember 26, I960, preclude the possi-
bility of there having been any
basis for a misunderstanding .
to our recent 10 per cent offer and
your acceptance of it.”
Mr. Stout said the agreement of
May 8, 1947, referred to above is
the master agreement between the
International Union and the com-
pany, copies of which have beem
delivered to employees.
The agreement of December 7
last year, Mr. Stout added, pro-
vides for the extension of the
agreement of May 8, 1947, to No-
vember 30, 1951.
Point Comfort union employees
went out on strike Wednesday a
week ago after it appeared differ-
ences were settled. The second
strike arose from a misunder-
standing resulting after the com-
pany offered 10 and 15 cent in-
creases and later a 10 per cent
increase.
The union is holding out for
both, while the company stands by
the 10 per cent increase alone.

For March Stock Show
At least four Palacios FFA
boys will be ready for the Mata-
gorda County Livestock Show and
Exposition next March.
L. L. Stevenson, sponsor of the
group, announced that four of his
young farmers bought three calves
at the auction barn Tuesday.

owner of a 455-pound calf of the
same type bought for $26.10 per
hundred; and Byron King, buyer
of a 425-pounder of the same type
at $25.80 per hundred.
W. H. Laslie, Matagorda County
