McElrath seeking re-election
to Palacios city council post
“I, Margaret Lawson McEl-
rath, hereby authorize the Pala-
cios Beacon to announce my
candidacy for re-election for
Position Number 2 on the Pala-
cios City Council.
“I am completing my 2nd term
in this capacity and it has been a
pleasure to serve this comm-
unity. By now, you must be
aware of my strengths as well as
my weaknesses. I am proud of
what the City Council has been
able to accomplish, however,
there is so much that needs to be
completed as well as begun. We
have good working council mem-
bers with ideas, experience and
with caring attitudes. We may
not always agree but we have a
healthy respect for one another.
“It is imperative that our little
town grow in the right direction.
I am reminded of the compari-
son of the Giraffe, the Ostrich
and the Peafowl. The Giraffe
sticks his neck out and up to get
involved. The Ostrich hides his
head in the sand and pretends
nothing can be done. The Pea-
fowl just struts around and yells.
"Citizens of Palacios; young,
middle aged and retired; you can
all make a difference. Let’s be
Giraffes. I believe in the poten-
Do You Get
Aches & Pains?
If you get aches and pains from minor arthritis... back-
ache ... sore knees . . . plus stiff or swollen joints, here's
news that can help you feel better.
A natural pain remedy has been developed for everyday use.
Called EUCALYPTAMINT*, this pain relieving formula is
made enlirtly from all natural ingredients. Included are leaves
from the Chineese Eucalyptus tree. Ingredients from the
leaves are carefully selected ... then imported to America
where they are combined with two other natural ingredients.
From this meticulous process comes EUCALYPTAMINT*.
Used In America — 4 Years
Already EUCALYPTAMINT* has been used in America
four years with dramatic results. For example, a lady in Illinois
writes . .. "Itwus like umincli.Thi pain in myknawent away!" And
Domenic Gentile, head trainer for The Green Bay Packers
football team, says "Our players are acilti about EUCALYPTA-
MINT* btcaust of ili coniistent pain relieving qualities." You, too, will
be amazed how EUCALYPTAMINT* relieves your pain,
without prescription drugs, aspirin, or anything artificial.
Now this all natural ointment is available to you. Not just
another drug store gel that "smells good" but doesn't work.
EUCALYPTAMINT* is a deep penetrating ointment that
actually quiets pain naturally. If you do nothing else today,
resolve to try this ointment on your aches and pains. Millions
of people think discomfort from arthritis, backache, sore knees,
plus stiff or swollen joints must be endured. We guarantee you
WONT after you try this ointment. Only $16.95 postpaid for
4 oz. bottle. MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. Mail to:

tial of the people of Palacios. We
band together for common caus-
es. I need your support in the
May 7th City Election. I would
like to remind you to exercise
your right to vote and ask that
you vote: Margaret Lawson Mc-
Elrath, City Council Position No.
2.”

et Lawson McElrath, 713 1st St.,
Palacios, TX 77465)
Incumbents file
for city council;
deadline nears
Two more incumbents have
filed to retain their respective
positions on the Palacios City
Council for the May 7 city
election.
Filing as candidates last week
were incumbents Margaret Mc-
Elrath for Position 1 and Winfrey
Horton for Position 2.
McElrath is seeking her third
term on the council while Horton
is seeking his first full two-year
term. He was appointed to fill the
unexpired Position 2 seat last fall
following the death of council-
man Robert E. Lee.
Having already announced as
candidates for mayor were in-
cumbent Leonard Lamar and
challenger David Moore.
The deadline for filing for
office is March 23.
Car injures pair
A Blessing couple, leaving a
post-election party at the VFW
Hall, were injured last Tuesday
after being struck by a car.
Former Tidehaven ISD super-
intendent Delvin Tasks, 61, and
his wife, Bernice E. Tasks, 60
were taken to Matagorda General
Hospital and later transferred to
a Lake Jackson hospital.
Tasks suffered a broken arm
and his wife received a broken
leg.
The accident occured around
10:30 p.m. The couple was
walking from the Hall when they
were struck by a 1988 Mazda
driven by a Wharton man.
