THE BOX SCORE
HIRED HANDS
When you place an order for printing,
you hire the hands of many men.
If those hands are careless, unskilled or
incompetent, you are wasting
your money. If the hands you hire are
experienced, efficient and
enthusiastic, the work will flow through
those hands with a minimum of
waste motion and with far more positive
results. You get only what you pay
for. Some hands cost less to hire but the
work they do costs you more and
is worth less. It is wise, when you hire
hands to help you, to be sure those
hands are capable of the calibre
of work you seek.
THE WORK OF OUR HANDS
WE TAKE PRIDE IN.
THE SKILL OF OUR HANDS
WE OFFER YOU.

LEGISLATURE PRAISED
FOR “WORKING HARD”
In the history books the 51st
Legislature will be called the “hard-
est working session Texas ever
had.” That is the opinion expressed
by Lieutenant Governor Shivers,
presiding officer of the Senate, and
by Speaker Durwood Manford of
the House of Representatives. Gov-
ernor Jester also agreed with this
appraisal.
The longest session in state his-
tory tackled many old problems
that previous Legislatures had
found “too hot to handle.” But in
the closing day of the session just
ended the members stumbled over
their biggest problem, and left it
hanging in midair, knowing that
they will have to return for a spe-
cial session to try again for a
solution.

FEWER SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND HIGHER SCHOOL TAXES
One of the early effects of pas-
sage of the Gilmer-Aikin plan for
reorganizing the public school sys-
tem is that there will be fewer
school districts and higher school
taxes in many districts.
A few weeks ago there were 3,800
school districts in Texas, but this
week the number had been reduced
to 2,400.
Most of the districts which have
already given up the ghost and
consolidated are the “dormant”
districts which abandoned their
local schools in years gone by.
These districts have been “farm-
ing out” their children in neigh-
boring districts for the following
reasons: (1) It was impossible to
give satisfactory training in small
country schools, either because the
facilities were inadequate, or teach-
ers were lacking that would work
for the small salaries usually paid
by these districts. (2) The small
districts found they could avoid
local taxes by sending their chil-
dren to another district in consid-
eration of paying them the state
apportionment.
Under the Gilmer-Aikin plan all
districts which have been dormant
for two years or more were re-
quired to be consolidated by the
end of this week.
But in addition to these forced
consolidations there will be other
voluntary consolidations during
this year and next. Many believe
that'eventually the common school
districts will practically all be
consolidated with the independent
districts.
As a result of these various con-
solidations property in "dormant”
districts will now be subject to
higher taxes for local school sup-
port.

SCHOOL BOOK MONOPOLY
ENDED BY LEGISLATURE
A progressive step taken by the
Legislature which will end a mon-
opolistic practice in connection with
public school affairs, was the pas-
sage of a bill requiring multiple
textbook adoptions for the lower
grades.
Heretofore the state board of
education has chosen single texts
for use in each grade. The ^reat
amount of money involved in buying
these books caused representatives
of publishing houses to exert every
possible pressure to obtain adop-
tions of their books.
Donald E. Sailor
To Dock July 16
In Crete, Italy
The Fleet Home Town News Cen-
ter of Great Lakes, 111., reports
Donald B. Sailor, chief photogra-
pher’s mate, USN, is scheduled to
arrive at the Island of Crete, July
16, as a crew member aboard the
light cruiser USS Juneau for a a
five-day visit.
In his peaceful “invasion” of the
island, whose history is traced to
2,000 B, C., he follows in the foot-
steps of Greek, Roman, Byzantian
and Turkish invaders of old.
More recent history found Crete
the scene of paratroop landings in
the late war that made airborne
invasion history. It was there that
ex-heavyweight champion Max
Schmeling was injured during a
jump with Nazi paratroopers.
Sailor is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
B. E. Sailor of this city and his
wife and daughter are with them
while he is making this tour.
Mrs. Ella Crawford, formerly of
Palacios, wishes to thank her many
friends through the Beacon for
their letters, cards and gifts sent
to her during her illness which has
and still is confining her to the
hospital bed at the 0. E. S. Home,
and makes it impossible for her
to thank those friends personally.
Her very good wishes for each
one goes with her grateful thanks
and a very sincere “God bless you”
to all.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Harbison re-
turned Saturday from their vaca-
tion trip which included visits to
the following places of interest:
Pike’s Peak, Yellowstone National
Park, Grand Canyon, Petrified For-
ests, and Salt Lake City. They
were accompanied by their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Wayne Tate and Mr.
Tate, of Aransas Pass, and en-
route home visited other daughters
of Mr. and Mrs. Harbison at Sipan,
Texas, and Walters, Okla.

Demonstration Club
Due to the fact that the County
Home Demonstration Club Picnic
and Cake Baking Contest was sche-
duled so close to our July 15 meet-
ing, it was decided to eliminate
that meeting also, because no defin-
ite program has been planned for
the month of August, the club
voted to dispense with those meet-
ings. Consequently, the next meet-
ing will he September 2—and we'll
be looking forward to a big turn-
out then.—Reporter.
West End Property
Is Being Improved
Guy Claybourn, who purchased
the corner property at Eighth and
Main Streets some weeks ago, has
repaired and remodeled the build-
ing, preparing to open a service
station as soon as ail the equip-
ment arrives. He will carry a com-
plete line of Conoco products, and
the tanks and pumps have been
installed.
Mr. Claybourn, for the past few
years, has been the Texaco whole-
sale dealer, and prior to that, con-
ducted service stations most of
the time since he came to Palacios
to make his home in 1932.
Mrs. R. T. Phillips has as her
guest for several days, Mrs. C.
A. Lucas of Houston.
Mr. C. B. Viets left Monday for
a visit with relatives in Wash-
ington and Oregon.
