Mrs. Wm. Holliday
is Injured in Crash
As Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Holliday and
daughter, Miss Manila, were nearing
Houston Monday on their way home
from spending the summer in the east,
they happened to an accident in which
Mrs. Holliday, suffered a broken nose
and other injuries. They were driving
in a blinding rain which made it dif-
ficult to see and the car crashed into
the side of the underpass, before it
could be avoided.
An ambulance driver administered
first aid and took them to St. Joseph’s
nfirmary. Luckily neither Mr. Holli-
lay nor Miss Holliday had been hurt,
and after Mrs. Holliday’s injuries had
been cared for they proceeded on their
way home arriving here late that even-
ing and we are glad to report all are
now doing very nicely.
Mr. Holliday tells us they had a
most delightful summer and especially
enjoyed their visit with their son,
Houghton Holliday, professor at Co.
lumbia University.
WAYSIDE CLUB MEETS
The regular meeting of the Wayside
Club was held Wednesday afternoon
it the home of Mrs. J. K. Darnell,
w.irr Mrs. Darnell and Mrs. Abel
Pierce hostesses. Fifteen members and
five visitors were present. An interest-
ing and instructive program on Coun-
ty Officers, under the leadership of
Mrs. Calvin Douglas and Mrs. Cecil
Batchelder was given in the form of
questions and answers. Mrs. J. F. Mc-
Glothlin and Mrs. E. A. Linquist who
were the visiting committee for the
past month reported twelve visits
made. Mrs. Abel Pierce was appointed
delegate to the Federation meeting to
be held in Palacios, Sept. 15. During
the social hour very delicious refresh-
ments of grapejuice, two kinds of cake
and ice cream were served by the host-
esses.
Dr. Cowg r, of Sterling, Kas., came
in the first of the week and will be ac-
companied home by his wife and child-
ren who have been here the past six
weeks with her mother Mrs. Fitts and
sister Mrs. C. W. Nester and family.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Raymond and
son, and Joe Deutsch. of Houston, and
Miss Dorris Smith, of Dallas, were
here for the Labor Day vacation,
guests of Mayor Joe Deutsch. While
here they went on a fishing trip and
were very successful, making a catch
of 22 nice ones, which Mayor Deutsch
iced for them so as they could prove
to the folks back home that fishing
was good at Palacios.
Washington, Sept. 4.—The Weather
Bureau is giving favorable considera-
tion to a petition from Texas asking
materially broadened storm warning
service.
This was announced today by Willis
R. Gregg, chief of the bureau, who
said the plan, presented by Galveston
interests and by several members of
Congress from Texas, was sound. He
added, however, there were financial
"obstacles,’’ and held out little hope
for immediate action.
It was beliived here the program
probably will have to await the next
session of Congress. At that time spec-
ial funds likely will be sought.
Gregg said the Galveston plan em-
bodied suggestions for the establish-
ment of a special storm warning set-
up on the Gulf Coast to provide con-
tinuous day and night service during
he storm season. At present the coast
ipu«t depend for storm warnings al-
most solely upon the Washington
bureau.
If a coast office were established,
Jiegg added, it probably would be
.ocaled at New Orleans, where the
oureau already has a district office,
Requests for more extensive ad-
visory service on the Texas coast have
jeon made frequently. The cm rent
jppeal was sent first to the White
louse, from where it was forwarded |

To Aid Many Counties
“No,” he said. “The Colorado River
Authority doesn’t have to buy it ex-
cept at a reasonable figure and no one
else could carry out the development
with this bill in effect.”
The bill would create a conservation
and reclamation district, embracing the
counties through which the Colorado
River runs—Burnet, Llano, Travis,
Bastrop, Fayette, Colorado, San Saba,
Wharton and Matagorda. The develop-
ment is to be administered by a board
of nine directors, one to be appointed
by the county judge of each county
affected.
The board is authorized to accept
grants and borrow money from the
fediral emergency administration of
public works or any other source and
to issue and sell notes, warrants or
other forms of indebtedness. All ob-
ligations must be paid solely from
revenues to be derived fram the op-
eration of the district’s improvements
and facilities. The board would not be
authorized to levy taxes or assess-
ments.
Authority Provided
For prevention of damage to lands.
Authority to purchase necessary
properties and works, and to exercise
the right of eminent domain, is given
The daily blowing of the whistle
at the Crawford Packing Co., is a sig-
nal that things are moving in a big
way in Palacios and that boat men,
and scores of others who find imploy-
m.nt there will be busy for the next
few months.
Prior to the opening of the plant
vast improvements have been made,
both for facility and capacity. At the
bay where boats leave and come in to
unload, a new concrete wharf has been
built, new concrete storage room to
ice shrimp, picking room re-arranged
on concrete floor, and tables all metal
lined, and a separate building to afford
boats with crushed ice.
In the packing plant, new concrete
floors have been laid throughout, the
interior newly painted and all new
screens added. The blanching capacity
has been enlarged, salt sorage room
added, a new boiler and a new closing
machine. The second story has been
made into modern and convenient of
fice rooms. The new cement walk to
the front entrance and the flower beds
on the south lawn make the place at
tractive and which will some day be
one of the real show places of Palacios.
One of the biggest additions, is the
new warehouse, with a screened-in
runway to the packing plant. The ware
house is all new, just recently con-
structed, and is 40x80 feet with
capacity of twenty car loads of pack-
ed shrimp. Besides the storage capa-
city there is shelving for labels, etc.,
and a commissary room where supplies
for the boatmen, such as rope, nets,
and paint will be carried, with J. L.
Pybus in charge.
The warehouse is built of corrugated
iron is well lighted, has fire protection,
and is really quite an asset to our city
as well as a great convenience for the
Packing Co. It is situated alongside of
the railroad side track and two cars
can be loaded at the same time.

our heartfelt thanks and apprecia-
tion, for the prompt, efficient, kindly
and withal business-like manner in
which our needs were handled.

There will be a big meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce at Palacios
Hotel on September 11th. Refresh-
ments will be served and everyone in-
terested in the future of Palacios and
the Palacios Country is urgently invit-
ed to be present at this meeting.
Now that we have secured reduced
frieght rates, which in the building
of the seawall alone will save Palacios
thousands of dollars, we are going to
take up the next vital matter—the
building of the causeway across the
Tres-Palacios. Nothing that was ever
undertaken by our citizens is of great-
importance from an industrial or
commercial standpoint, and we are
going to get it!
We also have an excellent chance to
secure a game preserve under the fed-
eral government program. There is
no better place for such a preserve
than light over there across the Bay—1
and we are going to get it, tool
The big meeting at the Palacios
Hotel next Tuesday evening, Septem-

Johnson-Kinff
A wedding of interest was quietly
solemized Tuesday at 5 p. m. at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Johnson,
when their daughter, Mary Adeline,
was united in marriage to Bryon W.
King, of Corpus Christi, the impres-
sive service was read by Rev. E. F.
Kluck, pastor of the M. E. Church.
The bride wore a becoming frock of
blue triple sheer crepe with accessories
to match and had no attendants.
Following the ceremony a sumptu-
ous wedding feast was served the
guest being members of the im-
mediate families and a few near
friends.
Mrs. King has a large circle of
admirirs here where she attended
school and graduated with the class of
’31. Since February of this year she
has been in Com. Geo. A. Harrison’s
office and was most efficient.
Mr. King is a most deserving young
(nan, and has a good position in Corpus
Christi.
They left early Wedn sday morning
for their new home, followed by the
best wishes of their many friends.
166 BALES COTTON GINNED HERE
Up to this Thursday morning 106
bales of coton had been ginned at the
Lawson-Walker Gin. Last year at this
time 644 bales had been turned out by
the two gins. Cut in acreage together
with the gulf storm July 25, has re-
duced the crop yield h.re to such an
extent that less cotton will be harvest-
ed in this community than for some
time, und it will have to bo a good
price for very much to be realized by
our farmers.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Partain Jr. and
son, moved to Houston last week,
where J. A. has been given a position
with the Hughes Tool Co., the samo
he filled for about 10 years before
coming to Palacios a little over 3
y.ars ago. We regret to lose these
young people from our city, but wish
them well in thair new home.
