Don't you enjoy those bright white
linens—those fluffy thirsty towels—
those smooth sheets and pillowcases?
Know how is the best way to keei
yours that way? Have ’em done at
my daddy’s laundry. He’ll do them
every time, or if you prefer, just
bring them by or call for pickuj
and have them done at least everj
month at our steam laundry to keej
them white.

PIANO FESTIVAL
AUDIENCE HERE
APPRECIATIVE
The largest audience of
any of the three appearances
greeted performers in the
Rio Grande Valley 10-piano
festival last Friday night
at the Mercedes High School
Auditorium.
Officials of the festival
said they were gratified at
the wonderful turnout.
The program included
numbers by boys and girls
student groups, by men’s
and women’s groups, and
a mixed group.
A highlight of the program
was a piano solo by Ann
Stone of Harlingen..Accom-
paniment was by the men’s
group which included Donald
Johnson and Cal Gulley, both
formerly of Mercedes.
The audience also was loud
j in its acclaim of the entire
presentation, particularly
the A&I Singers, an added
attraction. There were no
encores on the piano num-
bers, but the audience pre-
vailed upon the singers for
one encore.
The singers « were ver-
satile, presenting both mod-
em and classical numbers,
both equally well received.
Included in the singers
was a Mercedes student,
Miss Mary Alice Balngo,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Baingo.
The festival opened with a
performance at Pan
American College Tuesday.
The group appeared in the
McAllen Civic Center
Thursday night.
Purpose of the festival
is to promote serious music
study and to raise funds
for scholarships.
A bust of Mozart was pre-
sented during the program
to Terry Lee Harvey of Mer-
cedes for the performer
among the students selling
the most tickets to the festi-
val. She is the daughter of
M r. and Mrs. Edwin
Harvey.-LRP
Petition May Ask Election
To Abolish Carrot Marketing Order
Among those students who
were home between semes-
ters from various colleges
were: Miss Donnie Vollmer,
University of Texas; Miss
Judy Sparrow, Trinity Uni-i
versity; Miss Sandy Olson,
San Marcos; Mike Odom,;
A&M College; Miss Eileen
Marchant, San Marcos; and
Miss Gladys Rae Traylor,
University of Texas.
The Valley Farm Bureau
Board of Directors at its
last meetir~ decided that
sufficient -^..plaints and
protests, against the South
Texas Carrot Marketing
Order No. 970, had been
made by producers and
shippers to the Valley office
to justify action be taken to
determine if 50% of the
carrot producers desire to
abolish this marketing
order.
The Valley Farm Bureau
is not advocating the abolish-
ment of the Carrot Market-
ing Order any more than they
originally advocated the es-
tablishment of such an order,
according to Bob A. Lilly,
executive manager. How-
ever, if sufficient signatures
of producers (50% produc-
ing over 50% of the carrots
during the current marketing
period) are obtained on the
petition now being circulated
by County Farm Bureau Di-
rectors, then the Secretary
of Agriculture will be re-
quested to conduct a referen-
dum to determine if the
marketing order shall be
abolished, Lilly continued.
The Valley Farm Bureau
is obligated to take such
action, Lilly stated, since
Valley Farm Bureau paid
the entire cost of the crea-
tion of this marketing order
in the beginning. Some of
the same people who are
now protesting the rules and
regulations of the marketing
order were the ones who
requested Valley Farm Bu-
reau to help them establish
such an order, according to
Lilly.
The protests include such
things as permitting Cali-
fornia and Arizona carrots
to be shipped into Texas, re-
packaged and sold from the
lower Valley area without
meeting any of the require-
ments of South Texas Carrot
Marketing Order; increased
harvesting costs by the
farmer; inspection produc-
tion cost as a result of in-
spection fees and check-off
fees to pay for local opera-
tion of the Marketing Order;
increased shippers cost by
requiring purchase of addi-
tional equipment and em-
ployment of additional shed
help.
Many producers and
shippers also expressed the
opinion that the regulations
South Texas carrot pro-
ducers must meet are re-

suiting in a build-up of
carrot acreage in California,
stated Lilly. This is
more than an opinion as Cali-
fornia carrot acreage is in-
creasing.
Prior to the creation of
the Carrot Marketing Order,
farmers in the Valley and
South Texas were told that
it was an easy matter to
get rid of an order if the
producers were dissatisfied
with it. This is far from
the truth in Lilly’s opin-
ion. There are only two ways
an order can be abolished.
They are: (1) for the Sec-
retary of Agriculture to abo-
lish it; or (2) by 50% of the
producers, producing over
50% of the carrots to pre-
vail upon the Secretary of
Agriculture to conduct a
referendum and producers
to vote to abolish it.
The South Texas Carrot
Marketing Board could vote
to abolish the Order, but the
Secretary of Agriculture
could ignore this action, or
“fire” the old Board and
re-appoint a new Board that
would support him.
All carrot producers in-
terested in signing one of
the petitions now being cir-
culated should contact the
County Farm Bureau Direc-
tor in their area, or go
by one of the County Farm
Bureau offices in San Benito,
Pharr or Raymondville, or
the Valley office in Mer-
cedes, Lilly concluded.

KNAPP HOSPITAL
SETS LONG TERM
PATIENT CARF
Realizing the desperate
need for adequate facilities
for proper care of the chron-
ically ill, the convalescents,
and the older citizens who
need nursing care and proper
diet, Knapp Memorial
Methodist Hospital has taken
the necessary steps to use a
wing of the hospital for this
purpose. Because of the type
of care which can be given
to long term patients, and
the excellent facilities
and personnel, great interest
has been generated by fam-
ilies of patients who fall into
the above catagory, and by
the State Welfare De-
partment.
It Is expected that the
number of patients which
will be accepted will be limit-
ed, but according to Marcus
Drewa, Administrator, as
many patients will be accept-
ed as it is possible to ac-
comodate^ and as beds are
available.
The long term care
patients will be housed in an
area as detached as possi-
ble from the surgical, me-
dical and obstetrical pa-
tients. All facilities of the
hospital will be made avail-
able to them, Including
X-Ray, Laboratory, Cafe-
teria and Physical Therapy.
Mr. Drewa further states
that it is felt that this step
will help to provide the best
of care possible to those
who must, because of their
condition, have daily nurs-
ing care.
