Groundbreaking for Pilgrim Rose Baptist Church
REV. LEROY Monroe and
Deacons, Vernon Matthews
and Dave Watson perform the
ceremonial taming of the soil
during the groundbreaking cer-
emony last Friday for the
construction of the new
Pilgrim Rose Baptist Church on
Ninth Street. Also attending
the ceremony were members of
the church’s congregation, city
officials and other local digni-
taries. The new 6,500 sq. ft.
wood/masonry church will cost
approximately $179,000 and
will take six months to com-
plete. The church, which was
organized In 1920, had been
using the adjacent existing
structure since the 1940’s. The
lots on which both the existing
church and the new church are
located on were donated by
Glen McCarthy. [Beacon Photo

Ann Herlin and Linda Pars-
ley, Palacios High School soph-
omores, are participating in the
State Board of Education spon-
sored Texas Governor's School
which started June 21. The
four-week residential program
designed to meet the educa-
tional needs of gifted high
school students involves stud-
ents throughout Texas and is
conducted on the University of
Texas at Austin campus.
Ann and Linda were among
150 students selected from 1100
applicants from across Texas.
Approximately 20 other
states have similar projects
called Governor’s Schools. Al-
though each state develops a
school that is unique, they are
a!! designed to meet certain
objectives: they are supposed to
supplement and expand on the
curriculum offered in the regu-
lar school program; they are
meant to provide a program of
academic rigor developed spec-
ifically for gifted sutdents and
they are developed as a strategy
to keep academically advanced^
students in the state when they
pursue their college careers.
Linda is studying The Ameri-
can Constitution in the morning
and Journalism every after-
noon. She is excited about the
opportunity and says, "I am
looking forward to my four-
week stay. Not only am I
learning more about things that
interest me, I am meeting
people from across the state
that share my interests”.
Ann is studying Latin Amer-
ican Studies in the morning and
Taking a Stand every afternoon.
She says, "1 am benefitting
from attending the Governor’s
School. I am making many new
friends, learning a lot and
having a wonderful time.”
Bay City waterfowl forum Sept. 25-26
Studies conducted in Texas
and numerous other states indi-
cate that recreation and tourism
hold one of the greatest poten-
tials for business expansion and
economic diversification. One
growing facet of the present
multi-billion dollar recreation/
tourism industry is hunting. With
this growth, is a need for
increased hunting opportunities.
Many believe it is the private
sector which can best fill this
accelerating demand.
In meeting today’s challenge
to identify and assist in the
implementation of ieasibie alter-
natives for developing, enhanc-
ing or expanding natural resour-
ce based business enterprises,

Purchase
the Texas Agricultural Extension
Service is sponsoring a unique
regional conference on the com-
mercial viability of waterfowl
hunting. This fully-feathered for-
um, which is to be "held Sept.
25-26 in Bay City is to take an
in-depth look at two of the most
essential elements for successful
hunting operations-property and
business management.
First, renowned waterfowl and
land/water resource specialists
from around the country wili
provide an indepth look at the
effective development and mana-
gement of property for waterfowl
and waterfowl hunting. This will
be followed by equally authori-
tative presentations and discuss-
ions focusing on the business
management aspects of starting
and operating a profitable com-
mercial hunting venture (ie.
financial resources, cashflow^
marketing, public reiatfSns, et6!p
Bay City was chosen as the site
for this regional conference be-
cause of its envied location in the
heart of Texas’ rich coastal
waterfowl belt. This geographical
asset, plus the overwhelming
interest and commitment of the
agriculture and business comm-
unity in basing their future on the
development and well-planned
utilization of the area’s natural
resources swayed the event’s
coordinators in selecting Bay City
as the host city.

ty managers, real estate inves-
Mass celebrated

temala visited the people at St.

tions, Father Reyes shared his

Mary to which he belongs.
Father Reyes will be wotking

Guatemala. Before he returns to

his message at St. Robert’s in El
Campos
