BETTER HURRICANE WARNINGS
ARE PLAN OF WEATHER
BUREAU
• Washington, March 15.—An increase
of $80,000 for better hurricane-warn-
ing service was asked by the appro-
priations committee Thursday in its
bill for expenses of the agriculture de-
partment.
“The weather bureau has long rec-
ognized the very urgent need of
strengthening and otherwise improving
its hurricade-wa/iiting service.” Dr.
William R. Gregg, chief of the weath-
er bureau, told the committee several
weeks ago. “It has been impossible to
do very much along this line, however,
with available funds, and that is the
reason for the estimate of $80,000.
He described the "daylight basis” of
the present service and declared the
bureau wanted to organize an inten-
sive, detailed service, comprising these
three chief features:
Cntinuous observations, day and
night, during the hurricane season,
from selected points along the gulf
coasts and additional observations
from ships at sea four times daily in-
stead of twice.

Meeting at B.T.U.
Grounds Mar. 29
Friday, March 29th has been desig-
nated as Field Day for the Texas
Baptist Encampment at Palacios. Rep-
resentatives from all over South
Texas will be present, and the plans
for the 1935 Encampment, the pro-
gram of which was printed in last
week’s Beacon, will be discussed. In
addition to this, addresses of much
interest to the people of Palacios will
be given. The citizens of Palacios, re-
gardless of Church affiliation, are ex-
tended a very hearty invitation to be
present at the morning meeting. Those
attending ure requested to bring lunch
with them. This will be served on the
grounds, and coffee and other drinks
will be provided. One of the main ob-
jects of the meeting is to further the
already existing good-will between the
citizens of Palacios and the Baptist
Training School. Palacios owes much
to the Baptist Encampment which has
been meeting hero annually for many
years. The Beacon takes this oppor-
tunity .of urging citizens of all creeds
to be present at the morning sederunt
and also at the luncheon. This will
provide an excellent opportunity for
the people of our city to meet the men
and women who have labored valiantly
throughout the years in connection
with this ‘work of faith and labor of
love.’
L. L. Silkensen of Galveston will pre-
side at the meeting, which will open
at 10 a. m. with a song and praise ser-
vice led by Elmer Burkhart of Hous-
ton .Addresses will be made by the
