by this news service, only two rigs
were actively drilling in Matagor-
da County and only one in Whar-
ton County.
This number is not counting
shut-in wells waiting on potentials
or new locations.
Not in modern times has the
rig count been so low in these two
c unties, or in Texas, for that
matter.

gorda County were Christie, Mitch-

other rigging up in the Palacios

The lone rig going in Wharton
County at one time last week was
F, A. Callery’s and Kilroy Com-
pany’s B-3 Mildred Fry Gary at
Boling, last reported at 7,100 feet.
A year or so ago it was not un-
common to see between 20 and 30
rigs actively drilling at the same
time in Matagorda County alone.
More late drill reports, field-by-
field, area-by-area:
South Lissie—George R. Brown’s
No. 1 Albert Lacy was plugged

GRASSY POINT
By LORRAINE BASFORD
While sitting around waiting for
the mail man or grocery boy to
come, did you ever get a sudden
bright notion to clean a closet, or
the bureau drawers or a cupboard?
And in the cleaning process, you
sort this for the waste basket, de-
cided maybe the new Mrs. Jones
might use this, and perhaps Sarah
Ann might use another item; so
you play sort of a pass it on to be
rejected or accepted game.
Well, while waiting for some
fishing news to appear on the
scene for^this column, I have clean-
ed out my catch as catch can file
and will pass on these news cap-
sules. Do as you wish with them.
Fishing Fashion Note—A move-
ment is reported on foot by rod
and gun clubs and conservation
groups to ban the sack dress from
all fishing waters. There is a feel-
ing that this garb/encourages fe-
male anglers to exceed legal bag
limits of fish which can be con-
cealed easily within the copious
confines of the garment. One
tackle dealer, who also handles
wheelbarrows reports that a lady
customer in sack dress made off
with one of his best wheelbar-
rows without changing her con-
tours. Definitely the time has ar-
rived to put the sack back on the
potatoes!
How a pessimist gets that way
—after lending money to an op-
timist.
To clean a spinning rod after use
in salt water—(take one half cup of
vinegar to one pail of water and
wash the reel thoroughly in the
water.
AJ new world speed record for
outboards—107.90 miles per hour
set by Hugh Entrop of Seattle,
Washington, has now been official-
ly recognized by the Union for
International Motorboating, Ghent,
Belguim. Powered by a 60 h.p.
engine, this record tops the old one
by 7% miles per hour. It also
brings the outboard title back to
the U: ited States for the first time
in 21 years.
Any fisherman will agree that a
bathing beauty is worth wading
for.
The material for keeping a
bait casting reel in perfect work-
ing condition is simple and not
costly; grease, oil, cleaning fluid
and a small screw driver, with
emphasis on the screw driver. Be
sure the screw driver fits the
screw heads, so as not to damage
them.
Tod Sloan, expert marksman and
hunter says red is fading as a
protective color for hunters be-
cause 1,360,000 of the nation’s
gunmen are color blind. But, he
added, 72 of every 75 hunters, in-
cluding the color blind, can detect
yellow as a safety color.

How about some fish and crum-
bled chips? This recipe was given
for bass, but is perfect for trout,
flounder, redfish and even croak-
ers;
Filet fish. Place in collander and
pour ice cold water over for about
five minutes. Drain, salt lightly and
place in refrigerator overnight. Re-
move and do not let stand too long
before preparing to cook. Melt

Texas Shrimpers Seek
Free Dockage At A. P.
The city of Aransas Pass was
asked last month to construct
docks along 2,600 feet of additional
space to be provided in improve-
ments underway in Conn Brown
Harbor, and make the space avail-
able for shrimp boats free of
charge.
The request was submitted to
the city council in a resolution
adopted unanimously by members
of the Aransas Shrimp Association.
Spokesmen for the Association
were attorney William Ellis and
Sydney Herndon.
Ellis said the shrimp industry
poured $10 million into the econ-
omy of Aransas Pass last year.
Adequate dock space, available to
shrimp boats free of charge, would
attract additional boats to the
city, adding another $3 to $3.5
million to the economy of the city.
Mr. and Mrs. Merwin Robinson
and two daughters of Premont are
here visiting his mother, Mrs. J.
E. Robinson.

ers of the roads that are in run-
down condition.

the new water tank. It remains to’
be painted and the installation of
the pumps before it will be put
in used—and none too soon he
added.

from the firemen’s school held at
